Abstract Background: We (Blood.2006;107:1156) and others showed that marrow cells from high-risk MDS patients exhibit constitutive NF-kB activation. Bortezomib (BOR) is a specific inhibitor of NF-kB with limited efficacy when used alone in AML but which is potentiated by its association with chemotherapy especially Cytarabine (AraC) (Cancer Chem Pharm.2006;58:13). Methods: The GFM performed a phase I–II study of BOR in association with low dose AraC (LDAraC) in MDS patients (pts) with intermediate-2 or high IPSS (including RAEB-T). Pts received BOR 1.5 mg/m2 on d 1,4,8,11 and AraC 10mg/m2 d1-14, q 28 days for 4 cycles. In the absence of DLT AraC was increased to 20mg/m2 after cycle 1. Dose reductions were made to BOR (1.3 and 1.0 mg/m2) for NCI-CTCAE >Grade 2 non and >Grade 3 hematologic toxicity. Response was evaluated after 2 and 4 cycles (IWG 2006 criteria). Responding pts could receive up to 4 additional cycles. Results: 44 pts were included between June 2006 and July 2007 (total 49 planned). 37 pts included >8 weeks before date of first interim analysis (1 Jul 2007), were evaluable. Median age 72 yrs (range 54–88) and M:F ratio 25:12. Diagnosis: 2 RA, 3 RAEB-1, 23 RAEB-2, 7 RAEB-T and 2 MDS with myelofibrosis. Prior treatment: 4 LDAraC, 2 intensive chemotherapy, 3 Azacytidine. IPSS: 18 int-2; 19 high. Karyotype was good, intermediate, poor and not done in 14, 4, 18 and 1 pt, respectively (resp). 25 pts had either poor karyotype or were pretreated. Plts were <100 G/L in 30 pts and ANC <1.5 G/L in 30 pts. Median number of cycles received 2.4 (range 1–8). Five responding pts received 2–4 additional cycles. There were 9 AraC dose escalations and 22 BOR reductions. Death with no evidence of progression (< 8 weeks) occurred in 2 pts (sepsis). Nine of the 37 pts (24%), had responses including 3 CR, 2 PR, 1 marrow CR (mCR) with HI and 3 HI. Of the remaining 26 pts 3 were stable after 4 cycles and 23 had progressed. Responses were seen after 3 or more cycles in 8 pts. 3 of 18 pts (17%) with poor karyotype achieved responses (1CR, 1mCR and 1HI) vs 2 of 4 pts with intermediate karyotype (2CR) and 4 of 14 pts (29%) with favourable karyotype (2PR and 2HI). All 9 responses were seen in the 28 previously untreated pts (32%) vs no responses in the 9 pretreated pts. Duration of CR was 9+, 8+ and 8+ mos, PR was 9+ and 6+ mos, mCR was 5+ mos, and HI was 10+,11+ and 12+ mos resp. 27 patients were alive. The 10 deaths were due to 8 progressions and 2 infectious complications. Hospitalization was required in 22 pts during treatment. Non fatal SAEs were mainly due to infections (14), bleeding (7) and skin eruptions (2). Neurotoxicity was seen in 4 pts (1 Gr 3 and 3 Gr 2). Conclusion: In this high risk population BOR + LDAraC gave a 24% response rate (32% in previously untreated pts). Responses were seen including in pts with unfavourable karyotype who generally fail LDAraC alone. Neurotoxicity was only seen in 4 patients. However, there was significantly more myelosupression than with LDAraC alone. An update will be given.

6621 Background: Both bortezomib (Bz) and lenalidomide have clinical activity in patients with MDS and AML. We conducted a phase I dose escalation study to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of Bz in combination with lenalidomide. Methods: Patients with MDS (IPSS score ≥ 0.5 or therapy-related) received Bz by IV bolus on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 and lenalidomide 10 mg/day PO on Days 1-21 in 28 day cycles for up to 9 cycles. Three doses of Bz were tested (0.7, 1.0, or 1.3 mg/m2). Cohorts consisted of 3-6 patients; the dose of Bz was escalated if there were < 2 dose limiting toxicities (DLTs). Growth factor support and transfusions were permitted. Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were assessed during the first cycle and were defined as severe neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count ≤ 250/ul), thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 10,000/ul), grade ≥ 2 neurotoxicity, or other grade ≥ 3 non-hematologic toxicity. Following determination of the MTD, enrollment opened to patients with relapsed and refractory AML and those with untreated high risk disease for whom induction therapy was not indicated. Responses were assessed by IWG 2006 criteria for MDS and IWG 2003 criteria for AML. Results: 23 patients (14 men) were enrolled; one patient was inevaluable due to disease progression prior to starting protocol therapy. The median age was 73 years (range 54-87). There was 1 DLT observed, neutropenia, in 6 patients treated with 1.0 mg/m2 Bz and no DLTs at 0.7 or 1.3 mg/m2. The median number of cycles was 2 (range 2-9). Grade ≥ 3 toxicities possibly attributable to the treatment at any dose level were: anemia (2), thrombocytopenia (10), leukopenia (3), infection (1), rash (2), dyspnea (1), dizziness (1), hypotension (1), pneumonia (2) and neuropathy (1). Among the 14 patients with MDS, 1 patient with RARS experienced a CR and 2 with RAEB-2 experienced marrow CR (mCR). Among the 8 patients with AML, there was 1 CR. Conclusions: The maximal tested dose of Bz (1.3 mg/m2) in combination with lenalidomide is safe. Responses were seen in MDS and high risk AML. Future testing of this regimen is planned.

Abstract Background Alteration of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is a common genomic abnormality detected in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Everolimus acts synergistically with eribulin in TNBC cell lines and xenograft models. This phase I trial was designed to test the safety and tolerability of combining eribulin and everolimus in patients with metastatic TNBC. Methods The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and toxicities of the combination. Patients with metastatic TNBC who had up to four lines of prior chemotherapies were enrolled. The combination of eribulin and everolimus was tested using three dosing levels: A1 (everolimus 5 mg daily; eribulin 1.4 mg/m2 days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks), A2 (everolimus 7.5 mg daily; eribulin 1.4 mg/m2, days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks), and B1 (everolimus 5 mg daily; eribulin 1.1 mg/m2 days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks). Results Twenty-seven patients with median age 55 years were enrolled. Among 8 evaluable patients who received dose level A1, 4 had dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Among 3 evaluable patients treated with dose level A2, 2 had DLTs. Among 12 evaluable patients who received dose level B1, 4 had DLTs. The DLTs were neutropenia, stomatitis, and hyperglycemia. Over the study period, 59% had a ≥ grade 3 toxicity, 44% had ≥ grade 3 hematologic toxicities, and 22% had grade 4 hematologic toxicities. The most common hematological toxicities were neutropenia, leukopenia, and lymphopenia. Thirty-three percent had grade 3 non-hematologic toxicities. The most common non-hematological toxicities were stomatitis, hyperglycemia, and fatigue. The median number of cycles completed was 4 (range 0–8). Among 25 eligible patients, 9 patients (36%) achieved the best response as partial response, 9 (36%) had stable disease, and 7 (28%) had progression. The median time to progression was 2.6 months (95% CI [2.1, 4.0]), and median overall survival (OS) was 8.3 months (95% CI [5.5, undefined]). Conclusion Eribulin 1.1 mg/m2 days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks with everolimus 5 mg daily was defined as the highest dose with acceptable toxicity (RP2D). The combination is safe, and efficacy is modest. A post hoc analysis showed that participants that used dexamethasone mouthwash stayed on treatment for one additional cycle. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02120469.

Abstract Background: Bortezomib as a single agent has known efficacy in the treatment of relapsed multiple myeloma. The overall response rate (CR+PR+MR) was 35% in the SUMMIT study and 46% in the APEX study. In-vitro studies including our own have demonstrated potent synergy with other chemotherapeutic agents such as melphalan. It therefore follows that responses to bortezomib may be further improved by the combination of such drugs. Aims: The primary objectives of this Phase I/II study was to assess the safety, tolerability and response rates in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma; secondary objectives being time to progression (TTP) and overall surival (OS). Methods: This was a multi-centre, non-randomised trial for patients with relapsed myeloma. Patients received bortezomib 1.3mg/m2 on days 1,4,8 and 11 of each 28 day cycle with melphalan on day 2 at increasing dose levels. This was initially at 10mg/m2, but due to cytopenias subsequently at 2.5 and 5mg/m2 (levels 1a, 1 and 2) and we plan to escalate to 7.5mg/m2. Up to 8 cycles were given with dexamethasone added for stable or progressive disease after 4 or 2 cycles respectively. Responses were determined by EBMT criteria. Results: To date, 18 patients have been enrolled (12 male 6 female; median age 60 [range 44–73]; median number of prior therapies 3 [range 1–5] of which 17 have had at least one autologous stem cell procedure with high dose melphalan; 10 prior thalidomide and 2 prior bortezomib). 12 patients received melphalan at 10mg/m2 but due to unacceptable delays predominantly due to thrombocytopaenia, subsequent treatment levels commenced at 2.5mg/m2. The median number of cycles completed thus far is 4 (range 0–8) and of the 16 evaluable, the overall response rate (CR+PR+MR) across all treatment levels was 50% rising to 75% following the addition of dexamethasone as per protocol. At level 1a (melphalan 10mg/m2 ,N=12, median number of cycles completed =5) the best responses (with dexamethasone as indicated) were: 1CR, 1 VGPR, 5 PR, 2 MR; at level 1 (melphalan 2.5mg/m2, N=4) 1 PR, 2 MR (after 2 cycles only). The median time to any response was 1 cycle (range 1–3 ). Three patients have progressive disease, but the median TTP and OS have not yet been reached (median follow-up 3 months). Non-haematological toxicities have been modest with 7 SAEs reported of which only 1 was possibly drug related (myocardial infarction), and 4 episodes of Grade 3 neuropathy (2 resulting in study withdrawal). The commonest grade 3–4 haematological toxicity was thrombocytopaenia (N=10) complicated by bleeding in one patient, followed by neutropenia (N=6). Summary: The combination of bortezomib and intravenous melphalan can be given safely to patients with relapsed multiple myeloma and dose escalation is ongoing. Myelosupression was the commonest grade 3–4 adverse event. A response rate of 50% was seen, which was further improved to 75% with the addition of dexamethasone. This combination may therefore result in higher responses than single agent bortezomib in heavily pretreated patients.

Abstract Abstract 118 Clofarabine (CLO) is a second generation deoxyadenosine nucleoside analog with activity in patients (pts) with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Early reports also suggestedactivity of iv CLO in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), but the role of CLO in MDS therapy remains largely undefined. Due to the molecular characteristics of CLO it can also be administered as an oral formulation with a bioavailability of around 50%. As an oral agent has obvious advantages over parenteral administrations, we designed a phase 2 study to evaluate the activity and safety of oral CLO in patients with MDS. Pts were eligible if they had MDS and ≥ 5% blasts (including RAEB-t by FAB) or IPSS intermediate-2 and high-risk, and CMML. Hematopoietic growth factor support prior to and during the study was permitted. Thirty-two pts (2 RA, 11 RAEB-1, 11 RAEB-2, 2 RAEB-t, 5 CMML-1, 1 CMML-2) were treated. Twenty-two pts (69%) had intermediate-2 or high-risk disease by IPSS. Median age was 70 yrs (range 53–86). Overall, ≥ 27 pts (84%) were older than 60 yrs. Thirteen pts (41%) had a history of a prior malignancy and 20 pts (66%) failed prior hypomethylator therapy (6 pts azacitidine, 12 pts decitabine, 2 pts both). Cytogenetics were intermediate and poor in 9 (28%) and 10 (31%) pts, respectively. The starting dose of CLO was 40 mg/m2 orally daily × 5 days every 4–6 weeks (6 pts), which was decreased due to toxicities to 30 mg/m2 orally daily × 5 days (19 pts), and eventually 20 mg/m2 orally daily × 5 days (7 pts). Twenty-eight pts (88%) received treatment in an outpatient facility and almost all pts (94%) received anti-infectious prophylaxis. Responses of 31 evaluable pts are summarized in the Table: Among 20 pts who failed prior hypomethylator therapy responses were CR in 2 (10%), HI in 2 (10%), and CB in 2 (10%). The median number of cycles to response was 1 (range 1–3). Of 10 pts who received further consolidation cycles, the median number was 1 (range 1–8+). No pts died within 6 wks of induction. Acute renal failure occurred in 4 pts (1 pt 40 mg/m2, 3 pts 30 mg/m2) in the context of myelosuppresssion-associated infectious complications; 4 pts died. Common adverse events were nausea/vomiting, rashes, reversible transaminase elevations and hyperbilirubinemia, and fatigue and were mainly ≤ grade 2. The most frequent ≥ grade 3 toxicity were reversible elevations of transaminases. Myelosuppression was ubiquitous, but prolonged myelosuppression (> 42 days) was rare in responding pts. Infectious episodes occurred in 16 pts and were more frequent in pts receiving CLO at 40 or 30 mg/m2. Oral CLO has an ORR of 46% in pts with higher-risk MDS. Responses are lower in pts failing prior hypomethylator therapy. The optimal dose and schedule to balance activity and toxicity remain to be defined.

Abstract Background: FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with early relapse and poor survival. Quizartinib potently and selectively inhibits FLT3 kinase activity. In a phase I and II studies the composite response rate (CRR) was approximately 50% among patients with FLT3-ITD. There is in-vitro synergy between quizartinib and 5-AZA or LDAC. We hypothesize that adding quizartinib to a hypomethylating agent such as 5-azacitidine (AZA) or cytarabine may improve the response rate expected from the use of either agent alone. Objectives: The primary objective of phase I part is to determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of quizartinib (AC220) with either AZA or low-dose cytarabine (LDAC); for phase II is to determine the clinical activity of both combinations. This planned interim analysis reports on the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) and first futility analysis. Methods: For phase I, patients with relapsed/refractory high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) or AML were eligible irrespective of FLT3 mutation and salvage status. For phase II, presence of FLT3-ITD is a requisite. Phase II enrollment is limited to patients >60 years with untreated MDS/CMML/AML, or any age receiving first salvage treatment. Additional eligibilities include performance status ECOG ≤2, adequate organ function, normal electrolytes (potassium, calcium and magnesium). Important exclusions include QTcF> 450 mSec, concomitant drugs that prolong QT/QTc interval or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers with the exception of antibiotics, antifungals, and antivirals that are used as standard of care. Treatment cycle is defined as 28 days. Treatment comprises of AZA 75 mg/m2 subcutaneously (SQ) or intravenously (IV) for 7 days of every cycle (Days 1-7), or cytarabine 20 mg SQ twice daily for 10 days of every cycle (Days 1-10) along with quizartinib at two planned dose levels: 60 mg (dose level 1) or 90 mg orally daily (dose level 2) uninterrupted. Patients are assigned to AZA or LDAC arm by physician choice or slot availability. Planned accrual for each arm in phase 2 is 26 pts each and an ORR of ≥50% will be considered favorable. Accrual of 26 pts will give a 95% credible interval for overall response rate of (0.32, 0.68). The study will be stopped for toxicity (>30%) and/or futility (ORR <50%) at interim analysis for each arm. Results: Twenty-six (Phase I=12, phase II=14) pts have been enrolled: 18 to AZA arm and 8 to LDAC arm. Median age is 62 years (range, 25-79 years), 7 (27%) are female. Cytogenetics are diploid=14, +8=2, -7=2, miscellaneous=6, 11q and t(8;21)= 1 each. Median number of prior therapies is 2 (range, 0-7), 7 patients received prior FLT3 inhibitor. For both schedules quizartinib 60 mg daily was identified as the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) based on emerging results from separate dose-finding study. Eighteen [5 in LDAC arm (63%) and 13 (72%) in AZA arm; all with FLT3-ITD mutation without D835 mutation] of 26 total pts (69%) have responded (CR=1/ CRp=3/ CRi=2/ MLFS=10/PR=1/HI=1). Among patients with FLT3-ITD (N=22), ORR is 82%. Four of 7 (57%) patients with prior FLT3 inhibitor exposure responded. Median number of days to respond is 57 days (range, 25-102 days). Among responders two patients died (MLFS=1, PR=1): one with gastro-intestinal bleeding and other with progressive pneumonia. Three additional responders have discontinued therapy for stem cell transplant (1), withdrawal of consent (1), and loss of response with emergence of D835 mutation (1). Nine responders (CR=1, CRi=1, CRp=1, PR=1, MLS=5) had >50% reduction of FLT3-ITD allelic burden and 2 additional pts (CR=1, CRi=1) had no detectable FLT3-ITD at response. Number of pts with treatment emergent grade 3/4 toxicities irrespective of attribution include hypokalemia (15), hypophosphatemia (5), hyponatremia (4), hypocalcemia (4), hyperbilirubinemia (3), increase in ALT (1), hypernatremia (1hyperglycemia (1), hypotension (1), QTcF prolongation (1, grade 3). Conclusion: Combination of quizartinib and AZA or LDAC is highly active among patients with AML/MDS/CMML with FLT3-ITD . Response rates appear higher than expected with either agent alone. Clinically significant QTcF prolongation is infrequent. Accrual to both arms of the current trial continues. Disclosures Cortes: Ambit Biosciences: Research Funding.

7109 Background: We previously reported results of treating MF patients with 3 cycles of 300, 400, or 500 mg of SAR302503 (NCT01420770; Blood 2012;120:21 Abs 2837). This is a report of efficacy and safety after 6 cycles. Methods: Patients ≥18 years of age with intermediate-2 or high-risk MF and splenomegaly were eligible. SAR302503 is administered orally, once a day in consecutive 4-week cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Spleen response (≥35% reduction in spleen volume vs baseline) was assessed by MRI/CT (blinded independent central review). Results: 31 patients were enrolled (n=10 in the 300 and 400 mg groups; n=11 to 500 mg). Risk status was balanced in all but the 300 mg group (70% high-risk). Most patients were JAK2V617F positive (90%) and blood transfusion independent (81%). Spleen response rates at the end of cycle (EOC) 6 (secondary end point) were 30% (3/10) in the 300 mg group, 60% (6/10) with 400 mg, and 55% (6/11) with 500 mg compared with EOC 3 rates of 30%, 50%, and 64%, respectively. One patient on 500 mg who had a spleen response at EOC 3 (39% reduction), but not at EOC 6 (25% reduction) had dose reductions to 200 mg due to anemia. Median number of cycles was 13 (range, 2–17) and 24 patients have been on treatment >12 months. SAR302503 reduced baseline constitutional symptoms at the EOC 3, with the greatest responses for night sweats in 14/15 patients (93%), itching 10/14 (71%), early satiety and abdominal pain, each in 10/18 (56%). Most common adverse events were anemia and diarrhea, with grade 3–4 rates of 58% and 13%, respectively. The rate of grade 3–4 thrombocytopenia was 16%. There was no grade 3–4 neutropenia. The diarrhea rate tended to decrease after the first 2 treatment cycles. There have been no reports of withdrawal syndrome after stopping SAR302503. Median JAK2V617F allele burden was 93% at baseline, 87% at the EOC 3, and 78% at EOC 6 in 19/26 patients who had available samples. The expression of 22 of 97 cytokines was significantly regulated (≥1.5 fold difference; p<0.05) after cycle 1. Conclusions: In this Phase II trial, continued treatment with SAR302503 was associated with clinically meaningful reductions in splenomegaly. Symptom data will be updated. Clinical trial information: NCT01420770.

433 Background: Anti-VEGF agents and mTOR inhibitors are mainstay therapies in mRCC. Pre-clinical data suggests synergistic anti-tumor effect when combining these 2 classes. A previous phase I trial using sunitinib (S) 25 mg/d 4 wks on, 2 wks off, and temsirolimus (T) 15 mg/wk was stopped after 2 of the first 3 pts developed dose limiting toxicity (DLT). Methods: Pts with any subtype mRCC (PS 0-1) were eligible. Each cycle consisted of daily S for 14 days on, 7 days off, and weekly T. The continuous reassessment method (CRM) was used. The primary objective was to find the maximum tolerated doses (MTD) of S and T. The total planned accrual was 60 pts. Results: Accrual was stopped after 20 pts received study drugs. Median age was 63.5 years; 13 pts received prior targeted therapy, 7 pts were treatment naïve; median number of prior treatments 1 (range 0-6). Treatment cohorts (#pts, S, T, dose in mg): 2 (S12.5,T6), 1 (S25,T12.5), 1 (S12.5,T8), 8 (S12.5alt25,T9), 2 (S25,T6), 2 (S25alt37.5,T6), 2 (S37.5,T6), 2 (S37.5,T8). Dose reduction was required in 6 of 20 pts; the most common DLT was mucositis in 3 of 20 pts, followed by thrombocytopenia in 2 of 20 pts. The mean number of cycles for all pts was 6.6±5.36, with mean time on study 159±120 days. One pt experienced DLT in cycle 1 and received no study related imaging, 1 had a partial response, 16 pts had stable disease, and 2 pts had progressive disease (PD) as best response. A total of 21 grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) attributed to drug occurred in 11 of 20 pts. Reasons for study discontinuation were PD in 12 pts, toxicity in 6 pts, and pt preference in 2 pts. There were no treatment related deaths. Conclusions: The MTD of S and T using the CRM were not reached due to premature trial closure. However, we believe S 37.5 mg/d, 2 wks on, 1 wk off, and T 8-10 mg weekly may well be close to MTD. Clinical trial information: NCT01122615.

Abstract Background: Lymphoma patients with residual hypermetabolic lesions on FDG-PET imaging after salvage chemotherapy have poor outcomes following autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). We have previously shown progression free survival (PFS) of only 5 months (range: 1-19) in this population with only 7% of patients without progression at 12 months (Svoboda et al, BMT 2006). We hypothesized that these high-risk patients may benefit from continued therapy after ASCT. Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory agent which has been used as maintenance in other hematologic malignancies, but its toxicity and efficacy have not been well described in lymphoma patients following ASCT. Methods: We are conducting a phase I/II prospective, open-label trial of lenalidomide maintenance after ASCT in lymphoma patients at high risk for relapse defined by residual FDG-PET positive lesions (SUV ≥ 2.5) immediately prior to ASCT. The primary objective of phase I was to determine the safety and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of lenalidomide maintenance. A 3+3 de-escalation design was used with a starting dose of lenalidomide at 10 mg on days 1 through 28 of each 28-day cycle. Lenalidomide was initiated 28-100 days post-ASCT and planned for up to 24 cycles. DLT was defined as non-hematologic toxicity ≥ grade 3 or hematologic toxicity ≥ grade 4 during the first 28 days of lenalidomide. The primary objectives of phase II were PFS and overall survival (OS). Survival outcomes were calculated from the date of ASCT. Enrollment began in 5/2012; we report data through 7/2016. Results: Fourteen patients were enrolled and 11 were evaluable (one patient withdrew consent and two progressed prior to initiation of lenalidomide). Eight (73%) evaluable patients had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL): 4 with germinal center (GC) origin and 4 non-GC by Hans algorithm. Three (27%) patients had Hodgkin lymphoma. Median age was 44 years (29-61), ECOG PS 0 (0- 1), prior therapies 2 (2-5). Median follow-up was 24 months (range 8-44), and median time on lenalidomide was 13 cycles (1-24). No DLTs were observed in phase I, and the dose of 10 mg daily was determined to be appropriate for phase II. Six (55%) patients discontinued lenalidomide: 3 due to disease progression, 2 at investigator's discretion (1 subsequently progressed), and 1 due to grade 3 rash possibly related to lenalidomide. Of 3 patients who discontinued lenalidomide due to progression, 1 (non-GC DLBCL) died of disease progression, 1 (GC DLBCL) achieved complete remission (CR) with allotransplant, and 1 (non-GC DLBCL) remains on another active therapy. Overall, 8 (73%) patients remain in CR following ASCT, including 3 patients who discontinued lenalidomide. Of note, 1 patient developed adenocarcinoma of the colon 1 year after completion of lenalidomide, and 1 patient developed therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia at 10 months after discontinuing lenalidomide. At a median follow-up of 24 months, PFS of the complete cohort was 62.3% (95% CI: 0.28-0.84; Figure 1) and median PFS was not reached. OS was 75% (95% CI: 0.30-0.93; Figure 2) and median OS was not reached. When compared to the reported PFS of 7% at 12 months in the historical controls with identical high risk pre-transplant characteristics, the PFS of 62.3% (95% CI: 0.28-0.84) at 12 months was significantly improved (Z-test, p<0.05). Conclusion: We established feasibility of lenalidomide maintenance at 10 mg daily after ASCT in patients with relapsed/refractory lymphomas. Preliminary clinical outcomes observed in this phase I/II trial are very encouraging when compared to historical controls. To better understand the toxicity profile and validate the promising clinical benefit, the strategy of utilizing immunomodulatory agents as post-transplant maintenance should be studied in a larger cohort of high-risk lymphoma patients.

7020 Background: CLO is a second generation nucleoside analog with FDA approval for children with ALL relapse. Single agent CLO in adult ALL was less active so that combinations of CLO with other active agents are pursued. As CLO inhibits DNA repair following exposure to DNA damaging agents, we designed a phase I study of the combination of CLO with CY. Methods: Pts ≥ 21 years (yrs) with primary refractory or relapsed ALL, NYHA class < 3, and a cardiac ejection fraction ≥ 45% were eligible. The continual reassessment method (CRM) was used to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) from 4 pre-defined dose levels. The starting dose level was CLO 40 mg/m2 i.v. daily x 3d and CY 200 mg/m2 i.v. q12h x 3d. For cohort 2, CY was 300 mg/m2 and cohorts 3 and 4 maintained these doses with the treatment duration extended to 4 and 5 days, respectively. Results: Thirty pts have been enrolled. Median age was 28 yrs (range 21–72). Twenty-one pts had pre-B ALL, 5 pts pre-T/T ALL, 1 pt mature B ALL, and 3 pts biphenotypic acute leukemias. Karyotype was diploid in 10 pts and 2 pts had Ph+ ALL. Median number of prior regimens was 2 (1–5). Seven (23%) pts were primary refractory. Among the remainder, preceding median remission duration was 8.6 mos (1–39 mos). Five pts were treated in cohort 1 and 25 in cohort 2. One (20%) pt in cohort 1 and 9 (36%) in cohort 2 experienced DLTs (≥ grade 3) including transaminase elevations, diarrhea, hyperbilirubinemia, and (1 pt each) elevation of creatinine/renal failure, lipase elevation, rash, nausea/vomiting. Evaluable for response were 28 pts: 3 CR (one pt in cohort 1) and 1 marrow CR (OR 14%). All pts had pre-B ALL. One pt had Ph+ ALL, and one was primary refractory to HCVAD. Three early deaths due to infectious complications occurred (all in cohort 2). Conclusions: The MTD for this combination is CLO 40 mg/m2 i.v. daily x 3d and CY 200 mg/m2 i.v. q12h x 3d. DLT are mainly GI-related. A phase II extension is ongoing and will focus on efficacy data. [Table: see text]

362 Background: Although FOLFIRINOX (5-Fluorouracil + leucovorin + irinotecan + oxaliplatin) is now the standard of care for patients (pts) with metastatic pancreatic cancer (PC) based on the 2011 study by Conroy et al. which demonstrated improved median overall survival (mOS) (11.1 vs 6.8 months [m] with gemcitabine, P < 0.001), pts > 75 yrs old were excluded from this study. As per SEER 2011-2015 data, 38% of new PC cases are diagnosed in pts age > 75. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of FOLFIRINOX in this group of pts. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed unresectable PC pts, age ≥ 75, treated with FOLFIRINOX at MD Anderson since 2011. Data obtained include demographics, line of treatment (tx), starting dose, progression free survival (PFS), OS and toxicities. Response was determined by chart documentation. Primary outcomes were mOS and rates of grade 3/4 hematologic toxicity (HT). Results: A total of 24 pts (19 male) were included with median age of 76 (range 75 to 84). 18 had metastatic disease, and FOLFIRINOX was the 1st line of tx for 18 of the 24 pts. The median number of cycles administered was 4 (range 1 to 12). The most frequent starting doses of infusional 5-FU, irinotecan and oxaliplatin were 2400, 150 and 75 mg/m2, respectively. Bolus 5-FU and leucovorin were omitted in all but 3 pts. Median PFS was 3.7 m (95% CI: 3.0-5.7) with mOS of 11.6 m (95% CI: 6.14-15.7). 16 pts (67%) experienced disease control (response to tx or stable disease). Grade 3 or 4 HT occurred in 11 pts (46%), and 9 (38%) were supported with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor at some point during tx. 6 pts (25%) required hospital admission for any toxicity, most commonly infection (3 pts), and 10 (42%) stopped FOLFIRINOX due to toxicity, most commonly fatigue (6 pts). Conclusions: In this single-center retrospective analysis of 24 unresectable PC pts age 75 or older given FOLFIRINOX, OS outcomes were similar to those reported by Conroy et al in the original trial which excluded pts older than 75. In our review, toxicities including incidences of grade 3 or 4 HT were similar to those reported in the initial study. These data indicate that the use of modified dosing FOLFIRINOX in advanced PC pts older than 75 appears to maintain similar efficacy and toxicity when compared to younger pts.
