Thirty four patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma not previously treated with an anthracycline were treated with DaunoXome 100mg/m2 every 3 weeks. Thirty-three patients were evaluable for toxicity. Grade 3-4 neutropenia was seen in 20 patients (60.6%), complicated by febrile neutropenia in 2 (6.1%). Other grade 3 toxicities were rare. Among 32 patients assessable for response, one patient had a partial response, giving a response rate of 3.13% (95% confidence interval, 0.08–16.22%). Seven patients (21.9%) had stable disease, and 24 patients (75.0%) had disease progression. The median time to progression for all patients was 42 days (95% CI, 39–49) and the progression-free rate at 3 months was 12.5%. In conclusion, DaunoXome at this dose and schedule is well tolerated in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma, but is not associated with significant activity. Further studies at this dose and schedule cannot be recommended in this disease.

Purpose This nonrandomized multicenter phase II study was performed to evaluate the activity and safety of Ecteinascidin (ET-743) administered at a dose of 1.5 mg/m2 as a 24-hour continuous infusion every 3 weeks in patients with pretreated advanced soft tissue sarcoma. Patients and Methods Patients with documented progressive advanced soft tissue sarcoma received ET-743 as second- or third-line chemotherapy. Antitumor activity was evaluated every 6 weeks until progression, excessive toxicity, or patient refusal. Results One hundred four patients from eight European institutions were included in the study (March 1999 to November 2000). A total of 410 cycles were administered in 99 assessable patients. Toxicity mainly involved reversible grade 3 to 4 asymptomatic elevation of transaminases in 40% of patients, and grade 3 to 4 neutropenia was observed in 52% of patients. There were eight partial responses (PR; objective regression rate, 8%), 45 no change (NC; > 6 months in 26% of patients), and 39 progressive disease. A progression arrest rate (PR + NC) of 56% was observed in leiomyosarcoma and 61% in synovialosarcoma. The median duration of the time to progression was 105 days, and the 6-month progression-free survival was 29%. The median duration of survival was 9.2 months. Conclusion ET-743 seems to be a promising active agent in advanced soft tissue sarcoma, with no cumulative toxicities. The 6-months progression-free survival observed in advanced soft tissue sarcoma compares favorably with those obtained with other active drugs tested in second-line chemotherapy in previous European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer trials. The median overall survival was unusually long in these heavily pretreated patients mainly due to the high number of patients who benefit from the drug in terms of tumor control.

Clinical Trial Information

234 Background: MM-398 is a nanoliposomal encapsulation of irinotecan. OS in the ITT population was significantly longer with MM-398+5FU/LV over 5FU/LV alone, and the most frequent grade 3+ AEs included neutropenia, fatigue, and GI effects (diarrhea and vomiting). Expanded, pre-specified analyses of the Phase 3 study are presented. Methods: Patients (n=417) with mPAC previously treated with gemcitabine-based therapy, were randomized 1:1:1 in an open-label study to receive: (A) MM-398 (120 mg/m2 IV over 90 min) q3w; (B) 5FU (2,000 mg/m2 over 24 h) plus racemic leucovorin (LV) (200 mg/m2 over 30 min) x 4w followed by 2w rest; or (C) combination of MM-398 (80 mg/m2 IV over 90 min) prior to 5FU (2,400 mg/m2 over 46 h) and racemic LV (400 mg/m2 over 30 min) q2w. The primary endpoint was OS. The Intent To Treat (ITT) population included all randomized patients; the Per Protocol (PP) population included patients who received at least 80% of the target dose in the first 6 weeks and did not violate any inclusion/exclusion criteria. Results: Analysis of the PP populations confirmed the favorable OS, which was also reflected by the PFS, ORR and CA19-9 levels, of the combination MM-398+5FU/LV arm over the control 5FU/LV arm. The MM-398 monotherapy arm did not show a statistically significant improvement in OS compared with the control arm. Analysis of subgroups, based on pretreatment characteristics including stage at diagnosis, time since initial histological diagnosis, prior lines of therapy, time since last prior therapy, and CA19-9 levels, consistently favored OS for the MM-398+5FU/LV arm over the 5FU/LV arm. Conclusions: Expanded analysis of the PP population and sensitivity analyses support the favorability of MM-398+5FU/LV over 5FU/LV, with a manageable safety profile. Clinical trial information: NCT01494506. [Table: see text]

40 Background: To restore innate tumor surveillance that is lost in cancer patients, a tumoricidal agent may have synergistic activity with an immune checkpoint inhibitor. Herein, we report on a retrospective analysis of our clinical experience using trabectedin, an alkylating agent, and nivolumab, a PD-1 inhibitor in advanced soft tissue sarcoma. Methods: Twenty previously treated STS patients received trabectedin (1.5 mg/m2 continuous intravenous infusion, CIV, for 24 hours) every 3 weeks, and nivolumab (3 mg/kg IV over 30 minutes) every 2 weeks. Safety/toxicity was analyzed using the NIH/NCI CTCAE v.4.03. Tumor responses were assessed by RECIST v1.1 and immune-related response criteria (irRECIST). Results: Histologic subtypes in 20 patients include undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS; n = 7), leiomyosarcoma (n = 5), synovial sarcoma (n = 2), myxoid liposarcoma (n = 4) and chondrosarcoma (n = 2). All patients had metastatic disease and a median of 4 lines of prior chemotherapy. Safety analysis (n = 20): Grade 3 treatment emergent adverse events include anemia (n = 2), fatigue (n = 1), decreased platelet count (n = 1), decreased granulocyte count (n = 1) and increased creatine kinase (n = 1). Efficacy analysis (n = 17): Seventeen patients were followed for at least 6 months and their results are reported here. There were 4 partial responses (UPS = 1, myxoid liposarcoma = 1, chondrosarcoma = 1, leiomyosarcoma = 1), 7 stable disease, and 6 progressive disease, with best overall response rate of 23.5%, median progression free survival (PFS) of > 11.6 months (range: 2.3- > 16.9 months), median overall survival (OS) of > 14.2 months (4.5- > 24.0 months), 6 month PFS rate of 64.7%, and 6 month OS rate of 94.1%. In a Phase 3 study, the median PFS was 4.2 months using trabectedin alone (Demetri et al., 2015). Conclusions: Taken together, the data suggest that paired administration of trabectedin and nivolumab is safe, and that this chemo-/immuno-therapy approach has synergistic activity.
