PURPOSE Most of the data about high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) for metastatic breast cancer are derived from phase II studies. The interpretation of these data depends on comparisons with data from properly selected historical control patients treated with standard therapy under similar circumstances. We report the long-term results of patients with metastatic breast cancer who were eligible for HDCT but were treated with doxorubicin-containing standard-dose chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Prospectively collected data from 18 successive doxorubicin-containing protocols for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer were evaluated. Using common eligibility criteria for HDCT, we identified patients who would have been candidates for HDCT. We analyzed response rates, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) for all patients, potential HDCT candidates, and noncandidates. RESULTS A total of 1,581 patients was enrolled onto the 18 studies. Six hundred forty-five were HDCT candidates, and 936 were noncandidates. The complete response rate was 27% for HDCT candidates and 7% for noncandidates; median PFS was 16 and 8 months and median OS was 30 and 17 months, respectively. Survival rates for HDCT candidates and noncandidates, respectively, were 21% and 6% at 5 years and 7% and 2% at 10 years. CONCLUSION This study suggests that encouraging results of single-arm trials of HDCT could partially be due to selection of patients with better prognoses and further stresses the importance of completing ongoing randomized trials of HDCT to assess the relative efficacy of HDCT in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

7501 Background: The first objective of RTOG 0617 was to compare the overall survival(OS) of patients(pts) treated with standard-dose(SD)(60Gy) versus high-dose(HD)(74Gy) radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy(CT). Methods: This Phase III Intergroup trial randomized 464 pts with Stage III NSCLC to the SD(60Gy) vs. HD(74Gy) arms prior to closure of the HD arm. Concurrent CT included weekly paclitaxel(45 mg/m2) and carboplatin(AUC=2). Pts randomized to cetuximab received a 400 mg/m2 loading dose on Day 1 followed by weekly doses of 250 mg/m2. All pts were to receive consolidation CT. We are reporting the final results on radiation dose. Results: 464 pts were accrued prior to closure of the HD arm in 6/11, of which 419 were eligible for analysis. Median follow up was 17.2 months. There were 2 and 10 grade 5 treatment-related adverse events(AEs) on the SD and HD arms, respectively. Grade 3+AEs were 74.2% and 78.2% on SD and HD arms, respectively (p=0.34). The median survival times and 18-month OS rates for the SD and HD arms were 28.7 vs 19.5 months, and 66.9% vs 53.9% respectively (p=0.0007). The primary cause of death was lung cancer (72.2% vs 73.5%)(p=0.84). Local failure rates at 18 months were 25.1% vs 34.3% for SD and HD patients, respectively(p=0.03). Local-regional and distant failures at 18 months were 35.3% vs 44%(p=0.04) and 42.4% vs 47.8%(p=0.16) for SD and HD arms, respectively. Factors predictive of less favorable OS on multivariate analysis were higher radiation dose, higher esophagitis/dysphagia grade, greater gross tumor volume, and heart volume >5 Gy. Conclusions: In this setting of chemoradiation for locally-advanced Stage III NSCLC, 60 Gy is superior to 74 Gy in terms of OS and local-regional control. The effect of the anti-EGFR antibody (cetuximab) awaits further follow up.

7567 Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate with a long follow-up the efficacy of HDCT + ASCT or ABMT for refractory or relapsed HL. Methods: Data were collected from 99 pts who failed or relapsed after first-line CT± radiotherapy and were treated with HDCT+ASCT or ABMT between Oct 1984 and Dec 2003. Thirty-two pts had late relapse (CR≥12 months), 31 had early relapse (CR<12 months), while 36 had primary refractory (IF) HL.The main pts characteristics at relapse/progression were as follows: M/F: 50/49; median age 28 years; stage III-IV:54%; B symptoms: 33%; bulky disease 22%; extranodal ± nodal disease 54%; IPI≥3 39%. HDCT program consisted in a debulking phase with sequential high-dose chemotherapy (Cyclophosphamide 7gr/mq followed by ASC or BM harvest, Methotrexate 8 gr/mq+ Vincristine 1.4 mg/mq, VP16 2 gr/mq) in 71 cases; 3–4 courses of Ifosfamide (3gr/mq × 4 days)+ Vinorelbine (25mg/mq day 1+5) in 28 cases. Final myeloablative course was BEAM (63%), or high-dose Melphalan combined with high-dose Mitoxantrone (11%) or with high-dose Carmustine (9%) or TBI (17%) followed by ABMT or ASCT. Results: Ninety-two pts (93%) completed the HDCT program, while seven pts (7%) progressed during debulking CT. Early and late toxicity were mild. After a median follow-up of 66 months both 10-year freedom from second progression (FF2P) and overall survival (OS) were 61% for all pts. FF2P and OS were respectively 70% and 66% for pts with late relapse; 64% and 60% for pts with early relapse; 52% and 56% for primary refractory pts. Multivariate analysis showed that prognostic factors for FF2P were stage III-IV vs I-II (HR 2.09; p=0.04), response to first-line CT: CR≥12 vs CR<12 vs IF (HR 2.19; p=0.058) and bulky vs non bulky (HR 1.96; p=0.07). Prognostic factors for OS were response to first-line CT (HR 2.59; p=0.05), stage III-IV vs I-II (HR 1.37; p=0.39) and bulky vs non bulky (HR 2.06; p=0.06).Conclusion: These long-term results confirm that HDCT + ASCT or ABMT was feasible, safe and very effective for the treatment of relapsed/refractory HL.Our data support the use of this strategy for the salvage therapy even in the unfavourable group of primary refractory pts.

TPS8580 Background: Pembrolizumab, an anti‒PD-1 antibody is standard of care therapy for metastatic non‒small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy. Durvalumab, an anti–PD-L1 antibody, is approved for unresectable, stage III NSCLC without disease progression following concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT). Early trials of pembrolizumab in combination with chemoradiotherapy, either concurrently or as consolidation, showed acceptable tolerability and promising PFS in patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC. Early data suggest the combination of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) plus anti–PD-(L)1 inhibition can enhance treatment effects. KEYLYNK-012 (NCT04380636) is evaluating pembrolizumab plus CCRT followed by pembrolizumab with/without the PARP inhibitor olaparib vs CCRT followed by durvalumab in patients with unresectable, locally advanced, stage III NSCLC. Methods: This global phase 3, randomized, placebo- and active-controlled, double-blind study is enrolling patients aged ≥18 y with previously untreated, pathologically confirmed, stage IIIA–C NSCLC, an ECOG PS of 0 or 1, and a tumor sample available for PD-L1 evaluation. Patients are randomized 1:1:1 to CCRT (platinum-doublet chemotherapy [cisplatin plus pemetrexed or etoposide; or carboplatin plus paclitaxel] plus radiotherapy 60 Gy over 6 wks [cycles 2–3]) with pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W (groups A and B) or CCRT alone (group C) for 3 cycles. This is followed by pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W for 17 cycles plus placebo (group A) or olaparib 300 mg BID (group B); or durvalumab 10 mg/kg Q2W for 26 cycles (group C). Randomization is stratified by disease stage (IIIA vs IIIB/IIIC), tumor histology (squamous vs nonsquamous), PD-L1 tumor proportion score (≥50% vs < 50%) and region (East Asia vs North America/Western Europe/UK vs other). PFS (RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review [BICR]) and OS are dual primary endpoints. Secondary endpoints include ORR, duration of response, safety and tolerability, and quality-of-life outcomes. Tumor response will be evaluated per RECIST v1.1 by BICR after CCRT and at regular intervals throughout the study until disease progression, new cancer therapy, study withdrawal, or death. AEs will be graded by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v5.0. Enrollment began July 6, 2020 and is ongoing at 204 sites in 24 countries. Clinical trial information: NCT04380636.

Abstract Background Standard treatment for patients with inoperable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Five-year overall survival rates range between 15 and 25%, while long term survival data are rarely reported. Patients and methods A total of 102 patients with stage III NSCLC treated between September 2005 and November 2010 with induction chemotherapy and CCRT were included in this long term survival analysis. All patients were tested for PD-L1 status and expression of PD-L1 was correlated with overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS) and toxicities. Results The median OS of all patients was 24.8 months (95% CI 18.7 to 31.0) with 10 year-survival rate of 11.2%. The median OS of patients with PD-L1 expression was 12.1 months (95% CI 0.1 to 26.2), while in patients with negative or unknown PD-L1 status was significantly longer, 25.2 months (95% CI 18.9 to 31.6), p = 0.005. The median PFS of all patients was 16.4 months (95% CI 13.0 to 19.9). PFS of patients with PD-L1 expression was 10.1 months (95% CI 0.1 to 20.4) and in patients with negative or unknown PD-L1 status was 17.9 months (95% CI 14.2 to 21.7), p = 0.003. Conclusions 10-year overall survival of stage III NSCLC patients after CCRT is 11.2%. PFS and OS differ with regard to PD-L1 status and are significantly shorter for patients with PD-L1 expression. New treatment with check-point inhibitors combined with RT therefore seems reasonable strategy to improve these results.
