BackgroundThe phase 3 IMspire150 study (NCT02908672) demonstrated improved progression-free survival (PFS) with first-line atezolizumab (A) vs placebo (P) combined with vemurafenib (V) + cobimetinib (C) in patients with BRAFV600 mutation–positive advanced melanoma (15.1 vs 10.6 months; hazard ratio [HR] 0.78; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.63–0.97; P=0.0249). Objective response has been associated with increased survival with chemotherapy and targeted therapies, but it is unclear whether the association holds for immunotherapy. In this exploratory analysis, we evaluated the impact of response on survival outcomes in patients treated with A+V+C or P+V+C in the IMspire150 study.Methods514 patients were randomized 1:1 to A+V+C (n=256) or P+V+C (n=258). Patients received V+C in cycle 1; A or P was added on days 1+15 from cycle 2 onward. The primary endpoints for this exploratory analysis were PFS and overall survival (OS), estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Outcomes were analyzed by investigator-assessed best overall response (BOR) per RECIST v1.1 (complete response [CR] vs partial response [PR] vs stable disease [SD]).ResultsMedian follow-up was 18.9 mo. In the A+V+C arm, BOR was CR (n=41), PR (n=129), and SD (n=58); in the P+V+C arm, BOR was CR (n=46), PR (n=122), and SD (n=58). An imbalance in baseline prognostic factors (eg, lactate dehydrogenase, tumor burden measures) was noted across response categories in both treatment arms, with favorable factors more prevalent in patients with CR and unfavorable factors more prevalent in patients with PR/SD. Improvement in PFS and OS was observed with A+V+C vs P+V+C in patients with PR, with 2-year PFS rates of 42.1% vs 24.6% and 2-year OS rates of 69.1% vs 56.1% with A+V+C vs P+V+C (table 1). In patients with CR, median PFS and OS were not yet reached in either arm, with 2-year PFS rates of 64.6% vs 59.8% and 2-year OS rates of 82.6% vs 82.8% with A+V+C vs P+V+C. PFS and OS outcomes were poor in both treatment arms in patients with SD, with 2-year PFS rates of 10.7% vs not estimable (NE) and 2-year OS rates of 36.6% vs 29.3% with A+V+C vs P+V+C.Abstract 301 Table 1PFS and OS outcomes with A+V+C vs P+V+C by BOR per RECIST v1.1ConclusionsPFS and OS improvement was observed for A+V+C vs P+V+C for patients who achieved PR. CR is associated with improved PFS and OS with both A+V+C and P+V+C. Further follow-up is required to determine the impact of A+C+V vs P+C+V on survival outcomes.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials. gov, NCT02908672

10029 Background: This is the first randomized trial testing the addition of an oncolytic virus to an immune checkpoint inhibitor for advanced melanoma. At the 3-year (yr) follow-up, the combination (combo) of T-VEC and ipi demonstrated durable and statistically superior objective response rate (ORR) over ipi alone (36.7% vs. 16.0%; odds ratio, 3.0; 95% Cl, 1.6–6.0; P = 0.002). Complete response (CR) rate was 21.4% with the combo and 6.0% with ipi. Median overall survival (OS) was not reached in either arm. In this post hoc analysis, we utilized the 3-yr landmark data to explore the relationship between CR and OS in the combo arm. Methods: Pts with unresectable, stage IIIB-IV melanoma were randomized 1:1 to receive combo or ipi alone. T-VEC was administered intratumorally on day 1 of week (wk) 1 at 106 plaque-forming units (PFU)/mL followed by subsequent doses at 108 PFU/mL on day 1 of wk 4, and every 2 wks thereafter. Ipi (3 mg/kg) was given every 3 wks starting on day 1 of wk 6 for up to 4 doses. Response was assessed by investigators per immune-related response criteria every 12 wks until disease progression. The primary endpoint was ORR; key secondary endpoints were OS, progression-free survival, and safety. Results: 198 pts were randomized (98 to combo; 100 to ipi). As of February 25, 2019, the median follow-up time was 40.0 mos (range: 0.2–63.7) for the combo arm. Among 98 pts who received combo, 21 (21.4%) had a best overall response of CR including 8 who converted from an initial partial response (PR), 15 (15.3%) had PR, 19 (19.4%) had stable disease, 30 (30.6%) had progressive disease, and 13 (13.2%) were unevaluable. Of 21 pts achieving CR, 17 (81%) had ECOG status of 0, 16 (76.2%) had stage IIIB-IVM1a disease, and 16 (76.2%) had no visceral metastases. Median duration of CR was not reached (range: 5.4[+]–58.2[+] mos); 19 of 21 CRs lasted more than 6 months. The baseline tumor burden was lower in pts with CR than in those with non-CR. Median OS was not reached in pts with CR (range: 25.1[+]–63.7[+] mos) and was 47.6 mos (range: 0.2[+]– 63.7[+] mos) in pts with non-CR (Log-rank P = 0.0005). The Kaplan–Meier estimated 3-year OS rate was 100.0% for patients with CR and 52.3% for those with non-CR. Conclusions: CR rate was higher with T-VEC plus ipi than with ipi alone in pts with advanced melanoma (21.4% vs. 6.0%). In the combo arm, CR was associated with prolonged OS, and pts with CR tended to have better ECOG performance status, earlier-stage disease, and lower baseline tumor burden, as compared with those with non-CR.

7533 Background: Classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL) is characterized by chromosome 9p24.1 alterations and PD-1 ligand overexpression. Sintilimab, a programmed death-1 checkpoint inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy in relapsed/refractory cHL after the primary analysis of the ORIENT-1 study. Here, we report the updated safety and efficacy prolines after extended follow-up. Methods: ORIENT-1 is a multicenter, single-arm, phase II study in China. Classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients who had failed ≥2 lines of systemic therapy, including autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) were enrolled. Sintilimab, 200 mg IV was given every 3 weeks, until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal from study. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by an independent radiological review committee (IRRC) according to 2007 IWG criteria. Results: 96 patients were treated. As of the data cutoff on 16 October, 2018 72.9% of patients were continuing treatment with a median follow-up of 14 months. Median number of treatment cycles was 20 (range: 1 to 26). ORR was 85.4% (82/96, 95%CI: 76.7 to 91.8) based on IRRC review. Twenty-eight patients (29.2%) achieved complete response (CR) by PET scan. At the time of analysis, 59 out of 82 patients who had achieved complete or partial response continued to have an on-going response. The median duration of response (DoR) and progression free survival (PFS) have not been reached. The most common treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) was pyrexia (40.6%, 39/96), 92.3% of which was grade 1 or 2. The most common grade 3 or 4 TRAEs were pyrexia (3.1%) and anemia (3.1%). One death occurred which was not considered treatment related. Conclusions: ORIENT-1 study has the largest cohort of cHL patients in China treated with a PD-1. In addition to a high rate of response, sintilimab also demonstrated durable efficacy and favorable long-term safety profile after extended follow-up. Clinical trial information: NCT03114683.

4040 Background: In the phase 2 CheckMate 142 trial, NIVO + low-dose IPI had robust, durable clinical benefit and was well tolerated as 1L therapy for MSI-H/dMMR mCRC (median follow-up 13.8 months [mo; range, 9–19]; Lenz et al. Ann Oncol 2018;29:LBA18). Longer follow-up is presented here. Methods: Patients (pts) with MSI-H/dMMR mCRC and no prior treatment for metastatic disease received NIVO 3 mg/kg Q2W + low-dose IPI 1 mg/kg Q6W until disease progression or discontinuation. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed (INV) objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1. Results: In 45 pts with median follow-up of 29.0 mo, ORR (95% CI) increased to 69% (53–82) (Table) from 60% (44.3–74.3); complete response (CR) rate increased to 13% from 7%. The concordance rate of INV and blinded independent central review was 89%. Median duration of response (DOR) was not reached (Table). Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were not reached, and 24-mo rates were 74% and 79%, respectively (Table). Nineteen pts discontinued study treatment without subsequent therapy. An analysis of tumor response post discontinuation will be presented. Ten (22%) pts had grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs); 3 (7%) had grade 3–4 TRAEs leading to discontinuation. Conclusions: NIVO + low-dose IPI continued to show robust, durable clinical benefit with a deepening of response, and was well tolerated with no new safety signals identified with longer follow-up. NIVO + low-dose IPI may represent a new 1L therapy option for pts with MSI-H/dMMR mCRC. Clinical trial information: NTC02060188 . [Table: see text]

BackgroundTrastuzumab is a HER2-trargeted humanized monoclonal antibody that has been studied as a first-line treatment for patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer (AGC). The effect of anti-HER2 therapy according to tumor mutational burden (TMB) in HER2-positive AGC remains unclear.MethodsWe performed next-generation sequencing (NGS), including TMB analysis, in 31 HER2-positive AGC patients with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy as first-line therapy for recurrent (n=8) or metastatic (n=23) tumors. The TruSight Oncology 500 Assay from Illumina (San Diego, CA, USA) was used to evaluate TMB.ResultsAmong 31 patients, 30 had tumors with immunohistochemistry (IHC) 3+, and one was IHC 2+ and silver in situ hybridization (SISH) positive. The median age was 57.0 years old (range, 35-76), and the majority had tumors with low TMB (87.1%, n=27/31). Only four (12.9%) had tumors with high TMB. Of these four, three achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to treatment, and the remaining patient was not evaluable for tumor response. Objective response rate (ORR) to trastuzumab plus chemotherapy showed a favorable trend in patients with high TMB (75.0%, n=3/4) compared to patients with low TMB (59.3%, n=16/27) (P=0.546). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was not reached in the TMB-high group but was 8.0 months (95% CI, 7.6-8.5) in the TMB-low group (P=0.019)ConclusionThe status of TMB could be a novel biomarker in predicting the efficacy of trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in HER2-positive AGCs.

7509 Background: The FLIPI is potentially useful in predicting clinical outcome and comparing treatment results among clinical studies in FL. We recently reported the results of I-131 tositumomab as frontline treatment in 76 pts with advanced-stage FL (NEJM 325:441, 2005). A single 1-week course resulted in a 95% and a 75% overall and complete response (CR) rate, respectively, and at a median follow-up of 5.1 years median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.1 yrs. In multivariate analyses, bone marrow involvement was the only baseline variable that had a significant effect on PFS. Methods: To evaluate whether baseline FLIPI scores in this study could predict outcome and to compare this pt population with that in other frontline studies, the records of all 76 patients were reviewed. Results: FLIPI scores were available for 74 of the 76 pts: 11 pts (15%) low risk, 37 (50%) intermediate risk, and 26 (35%) high risk. CR rates for each risk group were 82%, 73%, and 73%, respectively. 5-yr PFS were 63% (35–92%, 95% CI), 63% (47–78%), and 52% (33–71%), respectively, p = 0.322. Grouping low + intermediate risk vs. high for PFS: p = 0.134. 5-yr overall survival (OS) rates were 100%, 95% (87–100%), 78% (62– 93%), respectively, p = 0.072, but grouping low + intermediate risk vs. high p = 0.028. A comparison to other frontline studies is below. Conclusions: The FLIPI did not predict for PFS or OS in FL pts treated with single-agent I-131 Tositumomab. However, an OS difference was seen when low + intermediate risk pts were grouped and compared with high risk pts. The distribution of FLIPI scores amongst pts in this study is similar to that observed in other front-line FL studies. Further studies exploring single-agent radioimmunotherapy vs. chemo/radioimmunotherapy combinations are warranted. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

e21022 Background: Nivolumab (NIVO) has shown increased results either in objective response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), which have completely changed the treatment of patients with metastatic melanoma (MM). Tools to guide selection of patients are absent Methods: This is a retrospective, observational, single-center study. The TBT was calculated considering the sum of the largest diameter of all measurable lesions and the smallest diameter of lymph nodes affected Results: 54 patients with histologiacally confirmed mm were included in the protocol (OCT/14-may/16). Patients had a median age of 61 years (22-86 years), 58% were male, and 73% of tumor were located in the skin. 42% had ECOG 1, 72% had M1c, and 36% had LDH over the upper limit of normality (ULN). 34% had the mutation of the BRAF (half of them treated with IBRAF). About 75% had no prior benefit with anti-CTLA4 and 21% of the population had brain metastases. The median follow-up was 11.1 months and the median NIVO doses was 10 cycles. The ORR was 30.2% and the clinical benefit rate was 54.7%. The median PFS was 6.89 months (95% CI 1.12 to 12.6 months) and OS was not reached. TBT being < or > the median impact on OS with HR 4.5 (95% CI 1.22 to 16.9; p = 0.024). Once again, there was a statistically significant difference in terms of PFS and OS when related to pooled TBT ≤ or > 200 mm. The PFSm was 9.4 months (95% CI NR) for TBT ≤ 200 and 2.6 months ( 95% CI 1.9 to 3.2 months) to TBT > 200, with a HR: 2.64 (95% CI 1.03 to 6.74; p = 0.042). OSm regarding TBT ≤ 200 was not reached and was 2.6 months (95% CI 2.0 to 3.2 months) to TBT > 200, with RH:8.9 (95% CI 2.56 to 30.9; p = 0.001). According to the Fisher's exact test analysis, there is a significant association between LDH > ULN and pooled TBT > 200, with p = 0.023. Also, a relation between grouped TBT ( ≤ 200 or > 200) and the type of response seemed to be significant, with p = 0.021. Conclusions: The results of our study are very consistent with current medical literature. In our study, high TBT was associated with less response rates and both less OS and PFS rates.

4553 Background: First-line N+C significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and objective response rate (ORR) vs S in aRCC patients (pts) in the phase 3 CheckMate 9ER trial, leading to FDA approval of N+C in this setting. A deeper understanding of how baseline disease characteristics may impact clinical outcomes with N+C vs S may inform clinical decision making. Methods: Pts with clear cell aRCC were randomized to N 240 mg IV Q2W + C 40 mg PO QD vs S 50 mg PO QD (4 weeks of 6-week cycles). In this post hoc exploratory analysis, PFS, OS, and ORR were evaluated across pt subgroups defined by baseline IMDC risk status, organ sites of metastases (mets), number of organs with any lesions, or target lesion size. Consistent with primary/secondary efficacy endpoints in ITT pts, PFS and ORR were evaluated per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review in subgroups. Results: Median follow-up in ITT pts was 23.5 months. PFS, OS, and ORR (including complete response [CR]) outcomes are summarized in the table across subgroups: IMDC risk (favorable [FAV], intermediate [I], poor [P]); number of organs with ≥ 1 target/nontarget lesion (T/NT; 1 and ≥ 2); sum of diameters of target lesions (sDTL; < and ≥ median [72.1 mm]), and in pts with liver, bone, or lung mets. The PFS HR favored N+C vs S and median (m) PFS was longer with N+C vs S across all subgroups. The OS HR also favored N+C vs S across most subgroups. ORR ranged from 38%–66% (N+C) vs 10%–44% (S) across subgroups, and CR benefits were seen with N+C in most subgroups. Additional outcomes including landmark OS and response details in subgroups will be reported. Conclusions: Consistent with outcomes in ITT pts, efficacy benefits with N+C vs S were observed regardless of IMDC risk status, organ site of mets, or extent of tumor burden at baseline. These results support N+C as a new first-line treatment option for pts with aRCC. Clinical trial information: NCT03141177. [Table: see text]

4574 Background: In the phase 3 JAVELIN Renal 101 trial (NCT02684006), treatment-naive patients with aRCC receiving A + Ax showed improved progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) across International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium (IMDC) risk groups (favorable [F], intermediate [I], and poor [P]) compared with patients receiving S. Here we report updated efficacy results for A + Ax vs S by IMDC risk groups from the third interim analysis. Methods: Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either A (10 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks) plus Ax (5 mg orally twice daily) or S (50 mg orally once daily) for 4 weeks (6-week cycle). Patients were categorized per IMDC risk group into F, I, and P subgroups, and outcomes were assessed for F, I, P, and I + P. Overall survival (OS) and PFS, ORR, complete response (CR), and duration of response (DoR) per investigator assessment (RECIST v1.1) were assessed. Results: The study enrolled 886 patients with aRCC. At data cutoff (Apr 2020), median (95% CI) follow-up for OS in the A + Ax was NR (42.2-NE) vs 37.8 (31.4-NE) months with S. The Table shows OS, PFS, ORR, CR, and DOR by IMDC risk group. A + Ax generally showed improved efficacy compared with S across IMDC groups. Conclusions: Consistent with previously reported results from prior interim analyses, extended follow-up confirms the efficacy benefits of A + Ax vs S across IMDC risk groups in patients with aRCC. Patients continue to be followed up for the final OS analysis. Clinical trial information: NCT02684006. [Table: see text]

9506 Background: In the phase 3 CheckMate 067 trial, a durable and sustained clinical benefit was achieved with nivolumab (NIVO) + ipilimumab (IPI) and NIVO alone vs IPI at 5-y of follow-up (overall survival [OS] and progression-free survival [PFS] rates: 52%, 44%, 26% and 36%, 29%, 8%, respectively). Here we report 6.5-y efficacy and safety outcomes. Methods: Eligible pts with previously untreated unresectable stage III or IV melanoma were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio and stratified by PD-L1 status, BRAF mutation status, and metastasis stage. Pts received NIVO 1 mg/kg + IPI 3 mg/kg for 4 doses Q3W followed by NIVO 3 mg/kg Q2W (n = 314), NIVO 3 mg/kg Q2W + placebo (n = 316), or IPI 3 mg/kg Q3W for 4 doses + placebo (n = 315) until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Co-primary endpoints were PFS and OS with NIVO + IPI or NIVO vs IPI. Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), descriptive efficacy assessments of NIVO + IPI vs NIVO alone, and safety. Results: With a minimum follow-up of 6.5 y, median OS was 72.1 mo with NIVO + IPI, 36.9 mo with NIVO, and 19.9 mo with IPI (table). Median time from randomization to subsequent systemic therapy was not reached (NR; 95% CI, 59.6–NR) with NIVO + IPI, 25.2 mo (95% CI, 16.0–43.2) with NIVO, and 8.0 mo (95% CI, 6.5–8.7) with IPI; 36%, 49%, and 66% of pts, respectively, received any subsequent systemic therapy. Median treatment-free interval (which excluded pts who discontinued follow-up prior to initiation of subsequent systemic therapy) was 27.6 mo (range, 0–83.0), 2.3 mo (range, 0.2–81.6), and 1.9 mo (range, 0.1–81.9) with NIVO + IPI, NIVO, and IPI, respectively. Of the pts alive and in follow-up, 112/138 (81%; NIVO + IPI), 84/114 (74%; NIVO), and 27/63 (43%; IPI) were off treatment and never received subsequent systemic therapy; 7, 8, and 0 pts, respectively, were still on treatment. Grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events were reported in 59% of NIVO + IPI-treated pts, 24% of NIVO-treated pts, and 28% of IPI-treated pts. Since the 5-y analysis, no new safety signals were observed and no additional treatment-related deaths occurred. Conclusions: This 6.5-y analysis represents the longest follow-up from a phase 3 melanoma trial in the modern checkpoint inhibitor combination therapy and targeted therapy era. The results show durable improved outcomes with NIVO + IPI and NIVO vs IPI in pts with advanced melanoma. We observed improvement in OS, PFS, and ORR with NIVO + IPI over NIVO alone.

Abstract Abstract 4111 In multiple myeloma (MM), the impact of complete response (CR) and very good partial response (VGPR) achievement has been shown mostly after introduction of high dose therapy (HDT) supported by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). Recently, the IFM group reported the impact of achievement of CR and VGPR in double ASCT. The purpose of this study is to confirm the prognostic value of CR/VGPR in a large group of patients treated with single ASCT. Methods All consecutive patients who underwent single ASCT at Princess Margaret Hospital between January 2000 and December 2007 were evaluated. Patients were mobilized with cyclophosphamide and G-CSF and majority were conditioned with melphalan 200mg/m2. Response to therapy was assessed according to the IMWC including VGPR. Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) were measured from transplant date to the date of death or last follow-up. OS and DFS were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier Method. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess CR and VGPR and some other prognostic markers at presentation such as age, B2Mg> 460 μmol/L, LDH> 350 IU/L, CRP> 20mg/L, albumin<35g/L and creatinine > 200 μmol/L. All p-values were 2-sided and statistically significant if <0.05. Results 788 patients were identified for the study; their median age was 56 years (30–73). Patient's characteristics are listed in Table 1. Response was assessed at day 100 after ASCT and showed a CR of 6%, PR of 37.5%, and VGPR of 53% (Overall Response rate of 95.5%). Median OS and PFS for the group were 77.43 months and 20.63 months respectively. The median OS and PFS were significantly better for patients who achieved CR/VGPR, 104.5 months versus 51.7 months, and 26.3 months versus 13.53 months respectively. With a median follow-up of 44 months there is no significant difference in OS for those patients who achieved VGPR/CR after induction therapy with novel agents. However, PFS is better in those patients receiving novel agents who achieved VGPR/CR (Median PFS of 24.63months versus 12.4 months respectively (p=0.01). Multivariate analysis shows CR/VGPR as an independent prognostic factor for OS and PFS (Fig 1 and 2). B2Mg> 460 μmol/L, LDH> 350 IU/L, CRP > 20mg/L, albumin<35g/L and creatinine > 200 μmol/L failed to be important factor for survival in the multivariate analysis. Our data suggests that VGPR/CR is clearly important in the pre-novel agents era and for the smaller group of patients who had novel agents induction there is a benefit in PFS and with a longer follow-up perhaps in OS. In conclusion, VGPR/CR remains a simple and powerful indicator in the context of single ASCT and should be considered a relevant objective for MM treatment. Table 1.
