Background: Ramucirumab as monotherapy or in combination with paclitaxel is a second-line treatment option recommended for patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. However, real-world data from large study cohorts focused on ramucirumab plus paclitaxel in gastric cancer are limited. Methods: The study population comprised all patients with gastric or GEJ cancer who received ramucirumab plus paclitaxel in South Korea between 1 May 2018 and 31 December 2018. We included patients with advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma and disease progression after first-line platinum and fluoropyrimidine-containing combination chemotherapy. Results: In total, 1063 patients were included in the present study. The objective response rate and disease control rate were 15.1% and 57.7%, respectively. The median progression-free survival was 4.03 months (95% confidence interval, 3.80–4.27) and the median overall survival was 10.03 months (95% confidence interval, 9.33–10.73). Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events with incidence of ⩾5% were neutropenia (35.1%) and anemia (10.5%). Based on multivariable analysis, overall survival was negatively associated with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ⩾2, weight loss ⩾10% in the previous 3 months, GEJ of primary tumor, poor or unknown histologic grade, number of metastatic sites ⩾3, presence of peritoneal metastasis, no prior gastrectomy, and time to second-line since first-line treatment <6 months. Conclusion: Our large-scale, nationwide, real-world data analysis of an unselected real-world population adds evidence for the efficacy and safety of second-line ramucirumab plus paclitaxel in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma.

Abstract This retrospective study was performed to evaluate real-world oncological outcomes of patients treated with chemo-based therapy for muscle-invasive or metastatic bladder cancer (MIBC/mBC) and compare results to data from RCTs and other cohorts. Among 1578 patients diagnosed, 470 (30%) had MIBC/mBC. Median overall survival (mOS) for RC alone (47 months), first-line (13 months) and second-line (7 months) chemotherapy, and chemotherapy for recurrent disease (8 months) were similar to literature. Treatment with neoadjuvant and induction chemotherapy (NAIC) was only utilized in 9% of patients, and often in patients with poor disease status, resulting in a lower mOS compared to literature (35 and 20 months, respectively). Patients treated with chemotherapy had many adversities to treatment, with only 50%, 13%, 18% and 7% of patients in NAIC, first-line, salvage after RC, and second-line setting completing the full pre-planned chemotherapy treatment. Real-world data shows NAIC before RC is underutilized. Adversities during chemotherapy treatment are frequent, with many patients requiring dose reduction or early treatment termination, resulting in poor treatment response. Although treatment efficacy between RCTs and real-world patients is quite similar, there are large differences in baseline characteristics and treatment patterns. Possibly, results from retrospective studies on real-world data can deliver missing evidence on efficacy of chemotherapy treatment on older and ‘unfit’ patients.

e19512 Background: Targeted therapy is an important treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, optimal strategies for deploying small molecule inhibitors or antibody therapies in the real world are not well understood, largely due to a lack of outcomes data. We implemented a novel temporal phenotyping algorithm pipeline to derive lines of therapy (LOT) and disease progression in CLL patients. Here, the CLL treatment pattern and time to the next treatment (TTNT) were analyzed in real-world data (RWD) using patient electronic health records. Methods: We identified a CLL cohort with LOT from the Mount Sinai Data Warehouse (2003-2020). Each LOT consisted of either a single agent or combinations defined by NCCN CLL guidelines. We developed a natural language processing (NLP)-based temporal phenotyping approach to automatically identify the number of lines and therapeutic regimens. The sequence of treatment and time interval for each patient were derived from the systematic treatment data. Time to event analysis and multivariate (i.e., age, gender, race, other treatment patterns) Cox proportional hazard (CoxPH) models were used to analyze the patterns and predictors of TTNT. Results: Four hundred eleven CLL patients received 1 to 7 LOTs. Ibrutinib was the predominant 1st LOT (40.8% of patients) followed by anti-CD20-based antibody therapies and chemotherapy in 30.6 and 19.2% of patients, respectively, followed by Acalabrutinib, Venetoclax, and Idelalisib in 3.4, 2.7, and 0.7% of patients, respectively (Table 1). The 2nd to 5th LOT showed the same or similar trends. We next analyzed the TTNT in the 1st line of each therapeutic class. Acalabrutinib resulted in a longer median TTNT than Ibrutinib. Both Acalabrutinib and Ibrutinib showed longer TTNT compared to Venetoclax (median TTNTs were 742 and 598 vs. 373 days: HR = 0.23, p=0.015 and HR = 0.48, p=0.03, respectively). In addition, patients with age equal to or older than 65 showed longer TNNT (HR=0.16, p=0.016). Conclusions: Our result shows the potential of RWD usage in clinical decision making as real-world evidence reported here is consistent with results derived from clinical trial data. Linking this study to genetic data and other covariates affecting treatment outcomes may provide additional insights into the optimal sequences of the targeted therapies in CLL.
