Abstract   The benefit of systemic treatment in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) which has progressed after chemotherapy is still uncertain. Anlotinib (AL3818) is a novel multi-target TKI, inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and proliferation. A phase II trial (NCT02649361) has demonstrated that anlotinib has a durable antitumor activity with a manageable adverse event profile in refractory metastatic ESCC. This study (NCT03387904) aimed at comparing the effects and safety of Anlotinib Plus Irinotecan versus Irinotecan in patients with ESCC. Methods We conducted a prospective randomized, multicenter, phase II trial to compare the efficacy of Anlotinib Plus Irinotecan with Irinotecan in recurrent ESCC patients who had resistance to platinum or taxane-based chemotherapy. Eligible patients were adults with pathologically confirmed recurrent ESCC, and 82 patients were randomized 1:1 to Irinotecan (65 mg/m2/day 1 and day 8) with or without anlotinib (12 mg qd day 1 to 14) of a 21-day cycle till progression or intolerable. The primary endpoint is the disease control rate (DCR) and progression-free survival (PFS) and the secondary end points are objective response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS). Results Between 13/1 2019 and 20/1 2020, a total of 43 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the anlotinib plus irinotecan (n = 22) or the irinotecan group (n = 21).The mPFS was longer in trial group than in control group (89 days vs 66 days, HR = 0.447, P = 0.055). The Disease control rate (DCR) was 54.5% in trial group and 38.1% in the control group. The treatment-related adverse events (>10%) were fatigue (59.1%), nausea (50.0%), decreased appetite (36.4%), hoarseness (27.3%), thyroid-stimulating hormone elevation (22.7%), diarrhea (9.1%), and decreased lymphocytes count(9.1%) in trial group. Grade 3 AEs included fatigue (4.5% vs 4.8%), nausea (4.5% vs 0%) and diarrhea (4.5% vs 0%) in two groups. Conclusion Anlotinib plus irinotecan was similarly tolerable but prolonged PFS compared to irinotecan monotherapy as a second-line treatment in patients with recurrent ESCC.

3595 Background: We conducted a phase II trial of gemcitabine with S-1 to evaluate the activity and toxicity of such a combination in heavily pre-treated patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have progressed after treatment with fluoropyrimidines-, oxaliplatin- and irinotecan-containing regimens. Methods: 36 pts were enrolled, with the following characteristics: 19 females (53%), median age 57 (28-72), 30 EOGO PS 0-1 (83%). S-1 was given orally (30 mg/m2) b.i.d for 14 consecutive days and gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) was given on days 1 and 8, every 21 days, until disease progression and for a maximum of 9 cycles. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Results: The median number of cycles was 5 (range 1-9), ORR was 16.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.5-28.9%) and disease control rate was 61.1% (95% CI 45.2-77.0%) with 6 partial responses and 16 stable diseases. Median duration of disease control was 5.8 months (95% CI 4.1-7.5 months). Median progression-free survival was 3.7 months (95% CI 2.2-5.2 months) and median overall survival was 10.0 months (95% CI 7.4-12.7 months). Grade 3-4 toxicities were rare (neutropenia 12%, anemia 11%, leucopenia 6%, thrombocytopenia 3% and diarrhea 3%). Conclusions: Combination chemotherapy with gemcitabine and S-1 was a convenient, well tolerated and efficacious for heavily pre-treated pts with mCRC. This regimen warrants further evaluation in pts with good PS but no further treatment options.

488 Background: We conducted a phase II trial of gemcitabine with S-1 to evaluate the activity and toxicity of such a combination in heavily pre-treated patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have progressed after treatment with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin and irinotecan. Methods: 34 pts were enrolled, with the following characteristics: 17 (50%) females, median age 57 years (28-72), 28 (82%) ECOG PS 0-1. S-1 was given orally (30 mg/m2) b.i.d for 14 consecutive days and gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) was given on days 1 and 8, every 21 days, until disease progression and for a maximum of 9 cycles. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Results: The median number of cycles was four (range 1-9). ORR was 14.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.8-26.6) and disease control rate was 58.8% (95% CI 42.2-75.3) with five partial responses and fifteen stable diseases. Median duration of disease control was 5.1 months (95% CI 3.3-7.0). Median progression-free survival was 3.2 months (95% CI 2.3-4.1) and median overall survival was 11.8 months (95% CI 7.0-16.5). Grade 3-4 toxicities were neutropenia (12%), anemia (12%), thrombocytopenia (3%) and diarrhea (3%). Conclusions: Combination chemotherapy with gemcitabine and S-1 was well tolerated and efficacious for heavily pre-treated mCRC pts, and could be an alternative for pts with good PS but no further treatment options.

Methods: Between Dec 2009 and Nov 2011, 23 pts were enrolled, with the following characteristics: 12 males and 11 females, median age 57 years (28-72). S-1 was given orally (30 mg/m2) b.i.d for 14 consecutive days and gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) was given on days 1 and 8, every 21 days, until disease progression and for a maximum of 9 cycles. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Results: The median number of cycles was four (range 1-9). OR was 8.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0-20.2) and disease control rate was 56.5% (95% CI 36.4-76.9) with two partial responses and eleven stable diseases. Median duration of disease control was 8.5 months (95% CI 3.8-13.2). Median progression-free survival was 3.2 months (95% CI 1.9-4.5) and median overall survival was 11.8 months (95% CI 4.0-19.5). Grade 3-4 toxicities were neutropenia (8%) and thrombocytopenia (4%). Conclusions: Combination chemotherapy with gemcitabine and S-1 was well tolerated and efficacious for refractory mCRC pts.

102 Background: Combination irinotecan and cetuximab is approved for irinotecan-refractory mCRC; it is unknown if the addition of bevacizumab would improve outcomes. We studied the efficacy and safety of CBI compared with CI in patients (pts) with RAS wildtype, irinotecan-refractory mCRC. Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II trial, pts with RAS wildtype mCRC and no prior anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapy who failed at least 1 irinotecan-based chemotherapy regimen and received bevacizumab in at least 1 prior line of therapy were randomized 1:1 to irinotecan 180 mg/m2 (or previously tolerated dose), cetuximab 500 mg/m2, and bevacizumab 5 mg/kg vs CI every 2 wks until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS). Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models stratified by number of prior lines of therapy and bevacizumab receipt in immediate prior line were performed. Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and adverse events (AEs). The study was closed early in January 2018 for reasons related to accrual and funding after enrollment of 36 out of a planned 60 pts. Results: Between July 2015 and December 2017, 36 pts were randomized (19 to CBI, 17 to CI). 34 pts (94%) were treated with 2 or more prior chemotherapy regimens. Baseline characteristics were similar between arms. Median PFS was 9.7 vs 5.5 mo for CBI and CI arms, respectively (log-rank P =0.76; multivariable HR = 0.64; 95% CI, 0.25-1.66). Median OS was 19.7 vs 10.2 mo for CBI and CI (log-rank P= 0.04; multivariable HR = 0.41; 95% CI, 0.15-1.09). ORR was 37% for CBI vs 12% for CI ( P =0.13). Grade 3 or higher AEs occurred in 47% of pts receiving CBI vs 35% for CI ( P =0.46). Conclusions: In this prematurely discontinued trial, there were non-significant increases in PFS and ORR and a statistically significant 9.5 mo increase in median OS in favor of CBI compared to CI. Further investigation of CBI for treatment of irinotecan-refractory mCRC is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT02292758.

4 Background: GIST pts who develop resistance to IM and SU have few therapeutic options. SOR inhibits KIT, VEGFR, PDGFR-β, and BRAF kinases. In preclinical models, SOR has activity against several IM-RES mutations that are resistant to SU (Heinrich. ASCO 2009). Methods: We performed a multi-center, phase II trial of SOR in unresectable, KIT-expressing GIST pts who had disease progression on IM by RECIST. After FDA approval of SU for IM-RES GIST, the study was amended in 2/07 to require progression after both IM and SU. Pts received SOR 400 mg orally twice daily. CT scans were obtained Q2 28-day cycles. The primary endpoint was objective response rate. A Simon minimax 2-stage design required 1 response in 18 pts to proceed to a second stage, and 4 responses in 32 IM/SU RES pts for further investigation. Results: 38 pts (6 IM-RES, 32 IM/SU-RES) enrolled 1/06-9/09 at 6 centers. Median follow-up for survivors: 31 months (mo). Pt characteristics: male 55%; median age 57 (range 42-85); PS 0/1/2: 47%/47%/6%. Median cycles: 4 (range 1-37). 63% pts had at least 1 dose reduction. Partial response (PR): 13% (1 IM-RES, 4 IM/SU-RES); stable disease (SD): 55% (3 IM-RES, 18 IM/SU-RES). Disease control rate (PR + SD): 68%. Median progression-free survival: 5.2 mo (95% CI: 3.4, 7.4). Median overall survival 11.6 mo (95% CI: 8.8, 18.0); 1-year survival 50%; 2-year survival 29%. Three pts remain on trial receiving study drug (1 PR at 34 mo; 2 SD at 18 and 37 mo). Grade 3/4 toxicities (% pts): hand-foot syndrome 45%, hypertension 21%, diarrhea 8%, hypophosphatemia 8%, GI bleed 5%, rash 5%, thrombosis 3%, GI perforation 3%, fatigue 3%, anemia 3%. Conclusions: SOR is active in IM-and SU-resistant GIST. Some pts treated with SOR experience prolonged disease control. SOR is well-tolerated in GIST pts, but dose reductions are often required. SOR warrants further investigation in GIST. Supported by NCI grant N01-CM-62201. [Table: see text]

4034 Background: In Europe and the USA, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the fifth most common cause of cancer-related death. For patients with metastatic disease, palliative cytostatic systemic treatment is the only option. There is no established standard for 2nd-line treatment. Fluoropyrimidines either alone or in combination with Oxaliplatin or other chemotherapeutic agents are increasingly used. There are interesting data regarding the combination of Gemcitabine with Oxaliplatin or Docetaxel with respect to progression free survival (PFS) and tumor response in 1st-line. For the first time, the DocOx-trial investigates the combination of Oxaliplatin with Docetaxel as 2nd-line treatment after progression under palliative first-line systemic treatment with Gemcitabine. Methods: Prospective, single arm, non-randomized, multicenter, Simon´s two stage phase II trial using Docetaxel (75 mg/m2, 60 min, d 1) plus Oxaliplatin (80 mg/m2, 120 min, d 2, qd 22). Duration of the trial is scheduled up to 8 cycles. Primary endpoint: tumor response (RR) according to RECIST 1.0. Secondary endpoints: PFS, OS, safety/toxicity, QoL/clinical benefit. Results: Here we present the data on response rate (RR), median progression free survival (mPFS) and median overall survival (mOS) as of February 4th, 2013. Data represents the Intention to treat-analysis of the 44 patients included between 2009 and 2012. 5 patients did not obtain any treatment. RR was 16% (7 partial remissions, no complete remission) with a disease control rate (DCR) of 48% after the first two treatment cycles. Median PFS was 7 weeks ( 95%-CI: 6-16 w.) and median OS after start of 2nd-line therapy was 36 weeks ( 95%-CI: 19-55 w.). Conclusions: In this single-arm 2nd-line trial for the treatment of PDAC, the combination of Doxcetaxel and Oxaliplatin shows very promising results compared to other 2nd-line-protocols such as OFF. Some patients seem to benefit particularly as indicated by long periods of treatment in this setting. Even after 8 cycles of treatment with DocOx, partial response was observed in 2 patients and stable disease in another 6 patients corresponding a disease control rate of 18%. Clinical trial information: NCT00690300.

e19029 Background: We previously conducted a phase I trial of combination chemotherapy with irinotecan and amrubicin for NSCLC and found acceptable toxicity profiles with a favorable efficacy in patients with pretreated NSCLC. The aim of this phase II trial was to further evaluate its efficacy and toxicity in this population with a long-term follow-up. Methods: Primary endpoint was objective response. Patients with NSCLC previously treated with one or two chemotherapy regimens were enrolled in this trial. Irinotecan and amrubicin were both administered on days 1 and 8, every 3 weeks at doses of 100 and 40 mg/m2, respectively. Response and toxicity were assessed according to the RECIST guideline and NCI-CTC for AE v3.0. Results: Thirty-one pretreated NSCLC patients were enrolled between 2004 and 2006. A median number of courses administered was 3 (range: 1 to 6). All patients and courses were assessable for efficacy and safety. Demographics of the patients were as follows: M/F:21/10, Ad/others:21/10, ECOG-PS 0/1:12/19, and smoker/non-smoker:21/10. Platinum-based regimens were commonly used as the prior chemotherapy. Objective response was obtained in 9 of the 31 patients with a response rate of 29.0% (95%CI: 12.1–46.0%). Grade 4 leukopenia and neutropenia were observed in 6 (19%) and 14 (45%) patients, respectively, whereas thrombocytopenia were generally mild. Grade 3 febrile neutropenia was observed in 7 patients (23%), of whom two patients further developed Grade 4 and 5 septic shock each. Other grade 3 or greater non-hematological toxicities included diarrhea, vomiting, pneumonitis, liver dysfunction in 4, 1, 1 and 2 patients, respectively. With a median follow-up time of 24.2 months, median survival time and median progression-free survival time were 14.2 and 4.0 months, respectively. Conclusions: This combination seemed highly effective for pretreated NSCLC with an acceptable toxicity. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Purpose: Temozolomide (Temodar; Schering-Plough Corp, Kenilworth, NJ) is an imidazole tetrazinone that undergoes chemical conversion to the active methylating agent 5-(3-methyltriazen-1yl)imidazole-4-carboximide under physiologic conditions. Previous studies have confirmed activity of Temodar in the treatment of progressive and newly diagnosed malignant gliomas. We have extended these results, and now we report results of a phase II trial of Temodar for patients with progressive, low-grade glioma. Patients and Methods: Temodar was administered orally once a day for five consecutive days (in a fasting state) at a starting dose of 200 mg/m2/d. Treatment cycles were repeated every 28 days following the first daily dose of Temodar. Response criteria used a combination of magnetic resonance imaging and physical examination to evaluate activity. Results: Forty-six patients with low-grade glioma have been treated to date. The objective response rate was 61% (24% complete response and 37% partial response), with an additional 35% of patients having stable disease. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 22 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 15 to ∞ months) with a 6-month PFS of 98% (95% CI, 94% to 100%) and a 12-month PFS of 76% (95% CI, 63% to 92%). Toxicity observed during the study was limited to only six patients. Three patients experienced grade 3 neutropenia, with a duration greater than 3 weeks in one patient, and two patients experienced grade 3 thrombocytopenia. One patient experienced ≥ grade 4 toxicity, with intracerebral hemorrhage, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, sepsis, and death. Conclusion:Initial results indicate that Temodar may be active in the treatment of low-grade glioma, and thus, further evaluation of this agent in the treatment of these tumors is warranted.

359 Background: Statins are HMG-CoA inhibitors that regulate several mechanisms involved in tumor growth, including mitochondrial metabolism, activation of oncogenic signaling pathways, and immune modulation. Population-based studies showed that statin intake may be negatively associated with RCC onset. The impact of statins on response to immunotherapy in mRCC is unknown. Herein we study the association between statin administration and outcomes in patients with mRCC treated with nivolumab in the NIVOREN-GETUG AFU 26 phase II trial (NCT03013335). Methods: Patients with mRCC who failed previous VEGFR inhibitors were included. We assessed nivolumab activity, including objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) according to statin intake at baseline. Toxicity was assessed using CTCAE v4.0. Results: Overall,133 patients were treated with statins at baseline among 702 evaluable for concomitant therapies (19%). Among them, median age was 68 (49-90), 84% were male, 85% had a performance status ≥ 80%, 42% were overweight and 20% obese. Patients treated with statins had mostly good (23%) or intermediate (58%) IMDC risk, 64% had grade 3 or 4 tumors, and nivolumab was given in a third line setting or more in 55%. Median follow-up was 23.9 months (95%CI 23.0-24.5) in the overall cohort. The ORR was 26% in patients treated with statins, PFS 5.0 months (CI95% 3.0 – 5.5), OS 27.9 months (CI95% 19.4-30.3). Outcomes of patients with or without statins did not differ significantly. Similar rates of grade 3-5 TRAE were reported in patients with (20%) or without (18%) statin intake. Conclusions: This is the first study to evaluate statin intake and outcomes with nivolumab in patients with mRCC. Despite numerically higher ORR, statins were not significantly associated with improved outcomes. These data require other analyzes considering other factors such as BMI and other comorbidities. Further studies may help better understand the interplay between immunity and metabolic reprogramming in RCC.

6014 Background: Chemoradiation (CRT) with cis or anti-EGFR Ab has been shown to improve survival of patients with stage III-IV HNC. Since Lap, a dual EGFR and HER2 inhibitor, has shown effectiveness with CRT in a pilot non-HPV HNC cohort, the RTOG Foundation launched a phase II trial to test the hypothesis that adding Lap to the RT-cis for frontline therapy of stage III-IV Non-HPV HNC improves progression-free survival (PFS). Methods: Patients with stage III-IV carcinoma of the oropharynx (p16-negative), larynx, and hypopharynx, having Zubrod performance of 0-1, and meeting predefined blood chemistry criteria were enrolled after providing consent. Patients were randomized (1:1) to 70 Gy (6 weeks) + 2 cycles of CDDP (q3 weeks) plus either Lap (1500 mg daily, Arm A) or placebo (Arm B) starting 1 week prior to RT and concurrent with RT and for 3 months post RT. PFS was the primary endpoint. The protocol specified 69 PFS events (142 patients) for the final analysis based on HR = 0.65, 80% power, 1-sided alpha 0.20, and one interim efficacy and futility analysis at 50% information. PFS rates between arms for all randomized patients were compared by 1-sided log-rank test (1-sided alpha 0.1803). Overall survival (OS) was a secondary endpoint. Results: From 10/’12 to 04/’17, 142 patients were enrolled, of whom 127 were randomized, 63 to Arm A and 64 to Arm B. Arms A vs B, respectively, were similar in baseline patient characteristics, radiation delivery, completing ≥ 70 Gy (85.7% vs. 82.8%) and cisplatin delivery, completing 200 (±5%) mg/m2 (65.1% vs 70.3%), but dissimilar in Lap/placebo delivery (median dose, 87000 mg vs. 125250 mg). Median follow-up was 4.1 years for surviving patients. The final analysis suggests no improvement in PFS of adding Lap to CRT (HR [A/B]: 0.91, 95% confidence interval CI 0.56-1.46; P= 0.34; 2-year rates: 50.6%, CI 37.5-63.7% vs. 56.2% CI 43.0-69.4%), or in OS (HR: 1.06, CI 0.61-1.86; P = 0.58; 2-year rates: 71.8% CI 60.1-83.5% vs. 76% CI 64.5-87.4%), death within 30 days of therapy (3.3% vs. 3.4%), and overall treatment-related grade 3-5 adverse event rate (86.7% vs. 84.7%). Grade 3-4 mucositis rates on Arm A and Arm B were 21.7% vs. 23.7%, all grade dysphagia and rash rates were 43.3% vs. 59.3%, and 13.3% vs. 6.8%, respectively. Conclusions: The addition of Lap to the radiation-cisplatin platform did not improve progression-free or overall survival in unselected non-HPV HN. Thus, dual EGFR, HER-2 inhibition does not appear to enhance the effects of chemoradiation. Although we showed that accrual to a non-HPV HN specific trial is feasible, new strategies must be investigated to improve the outcome for this poor prognosis HN population.
