Abstract Approximately 90% of limited-stage Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients are projected to be cured with standard therapy, but many do not live their expected life span because of late treatment–related complications. New treatment paradigms are needed to reduce the use of radiation therapy (RT) as well as conventional chemotherapy drugs while improving upon current standard-of-care survival outcomes. In this phase 2 multicenter study, patients with non-bulky limited-stage HL received doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) followed by brentuximab vedotin (BV) consolidation. Forty-one patients were enrolled, and patient characteristics included median age of 29 years (range, 19 to 67 years), 58% were female, 45% had unfavorable disease, and 98% had stage II disease. Based on positron emission tomography (PET)–based risk stratification, patients received 2 to 6 cycles of ABVD followed by 6 cycles of BV. After ABVD followed by BV, 95% of evaluable patients (37 out of 39; 95% confidence interval [CI], 83%-99%) achieved PET-negative status. In the intent-to-treat patient population, the estimated 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 92%, and the overall survival (OS) rate was 97%, with a median follow-up of 47 months. All 37 patients who achieved negative PET status after BV consolidation effectively avoided RT and remain in remission with estimated 3-year PFS and OS rates of 100%. In conclusion, BV demonstrates encouraging clinical activity when it follows ABVD therapy in limited-stage HL. Early incorporation of BV may reduce the use of RT as well as conventional chemotherapy drugs while achieving favorable survival outcomes in risk-stratified patients with non-bulky limited-stage HL. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01578967.

Abstract BACKGROUND Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary malignant brain tumour in adults. The current standard of care for newly diagnosed GBM is maximal surgical resection, followed by radiotherapy plus concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ). This study aimed to evaluate the survival outcomes and identify predictors of survival among these patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a single-centre retrospective analysis of GBM patients treated with radiotherapy plus concomitant and adjuvant TMZ from 2013 to 2020. The analyses of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), each one evaluated starting from initial diagnosis, were performed. Survival curves were estimated with the Kaplan- Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS Fifty-eight patients were identified. The median age was 61 years (range 18- 80), 51 (88%) patients were in ECOG-PS 0–1, 6 (10%) patients had isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation and 53 (91%) of patients had undergone debulking surgery. At a median follow-up of 21 months, median OS was 12.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 9.7–15.9), whereas median PFS was 9.5 months (95% CI 8.5–10.5). The 1-year survival rate was 42% and the 2-year survival rate was 10%. Grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicity occurred in 11 (19%) patients. Twenty-five (42%) patients completed at least 6 cycles of TMZ monotherapy with statistically significant differences between this sub-group and those who weren’t able to continue TMZ monotherapy [median OS 19.3 months (95% CI 14.4–24.2) vs 10.6 months (95% CI 7.8–13.4) p<0.001]. ECOG-PS = 0 [median OS 16.7 months (95% CI 13.4–20.0, p=0.001)] and patients under 65 years of age [median OS 15.6 months (95% CI 12.3–18.9, p=0.02) were associated with significantly better median OS. CONCLUSION The current standard of care treatment for GBM remains poor. An important factor predictor of survival is the completion of the 6 maintenance cycles of TMZ. At baseline, ECOG PS and the patient’s age could be used to define patient prognosis.

Abstract Background Clinical trials have demonstrated a high level of effectiveness for brentuximab vedotin (BV) for patients with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL); however, how patients fare in routine clinical practice if their HL recurs after autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is less clear. Our primary objective was to characterize overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) among a cohort of real-world patients treated with BV after ASCT. The secondary objective was to characterize the outcome of treatment after failure of ASCT or ASCT and BV. Methods We screened the population-based British Columbia Cancer Agency (BCCA) Lymphoid Cancer Database to identify patients with classical HL (excluding lymphocyte predominant HL) who were aged >16 years at initial diagnosis, staged and treated in BC, had primary treatment with ABVD or equivalent chemotherapy, underwent ASCT as part of first treatment for refractory or relapsed disease and relapsed again after ASCT. We excluded patients who have been treated at any time with a checkpoint inhibitor. We determined Kaplan-Meier estimates of overall (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) from the date of the progression that occurred after ASCT and, for those treated with the agent, after subsequent BV. Therapies given in sequence without a pause between therapies were considered part of the same line of therapy. Results Between 1986 and 2015 93 patients experienced recurrence of HL after ASCT. Their median age at initial diagnosis was 30 years and 51% were male. After failure of ASCT 23 (25%) received radiation monotherapy and 61 received chemotherapy (66%), either as a single agent or in various combinations and of these 9 (10%) also received radiation; 6 (6%) received a second transplant (5 allogeneic and 1 repeat ASCT); and 5 refused or were too frail for treatment other than with corticosteroids. The median PFS and OS from the time of relapse after ASCT for these 93 patients were 7.1 (range 0.2-352) and 16.2 months (range 0.2-352), respectively. Of those 93, 17 patients received BV alone or BV+bendamustine at some point following ASCT. The median age of BV-treated patients was 33 years at the time of their original diagnosis and 29% were male. Among those 17 patients, 9 received single agent BV and 8, BV+bendamustine as part of a clinical trial. The median time from ASCT to the start of BV was 27.5 months. Counting ASCT as 2nd line treatment, 10 individuals received BV as 3rd line, 6 as 4th line and 1 as 5th line therapy. For all 17 patients the subsequent median PFS and OS from the time of BV initiation were 5.1 (range 1.5-34.6) and 18.8 months (range 2.4-40.5), respectively. 12 of these patients relapsed again and their subsequent median PFS and OS were 0.6 (range 0.5-29) and 3 (range 0.5-30) months, respectively. All 9 patients who received single agent BV relapsed again at a median of 2 months (range 1.2-9.7); 5 of the 8 patients treated with BV+bendamustine remain in remission 6 to 36 months later. Conclusions These data highlight the poor prognosis for patients with relapsed or refractory cHL, particularly for those whose lymphoma recurs after brentuximab vedotin as well as the highly individualized management of patients whose lymphoma has recurred after ASCT. Future therapies that prevent or significantly delay relapse will help in alleviate the substantial clinical burden due to relapsed and refractory Hodgkin lymphoma.

AbstractIn the early years of treatment for limited-stage Hodgkin lymphoma there was an understandable focus on disease elimination. This has been replaced by concerns about the amount and balance of different therapies and eventually, as cure rates improve, a desire to individualize management based on risk factors at presentation and response to initial treatment. In limited stage Hodgkin lymphoma, early success was obtained with wide field radiotherapy but later combined modality approaches were employed to overcome the problem of out of field radiotherapy relapses. The acute and delayed toxicity of alkylating agent based therapies led to their replacement with ABVD and concerns about the late toxicity of radiotherapy resulted in smaller field sizes being first assessed in clinical trial and later introduced into clinical practice. The current standard of care of 3 or 4 cycles of ABVD followed by involved-field radiotherapy in clinically staged patients is the culmination of years of work involving many thousands of patients taking part in clinical trials.Our current focus is on the role of PET imaging and whether a response-adapted approach guided by PET can individualize therapy such that radiotherapy and its attendant late toxicity that impacts on future quality of life and survival can be avoided altogether in a subset of patients.

TPS4696^ Background: Docetaxel (D) in combination with prednisone (P) as first-line (1L) chemotherapy in patients (pts) with mCRPC is the current standard of care. However, treatment is not curative and D-resistant disease typically develops. Cabazitaxel (Cbz) is a novel taxane active in D-sensitive and -resistant tumor models. Clinical activity of Cbz plus P (CbzP) was demonstrated in the Phase III TROPIC study in mCRPC pts previously treated with a D-containing regimen; CbzP showed a significant overall survival (OS) benefit vs mitoxantrone plus prednisone (median OS 15.1 vs 12.7 months; HR 0.70; P < 0.0001). Therefore, it is of interest to determine if CbzP provides an OS advantage vs DP in 1L mCRPC pts. Methods: The phase III FIRSTANA study (NCT01308567) is a randomized, open-label, multinational trial in 1L mCRPC pts, designed to compare the efficacy of Cbz 25 mg/m² IV Q3W (Arm A) and Cbz 20 mg/m² IV Q3W (Arm B) vs D 75 mg/m2 IV Q3W (Arm C). P 10 mg PO QD is to be given concomitantly. Pts are stratified by ECOG PS (0–1 vs 2), measurable disease (yes/no) and region (depending on availability of Cbz as 2L). Pts with ECOG PS ≤ 2, histologically/cytologically confirmed metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma, with no prior chemotherapy and with disease progression following medical or surgical castration are eligible. The primary endpoint is OS. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival (PFS) (PCWG2 criteria), radiologic PFS, tumor response in measurable disease (RECIST 1.1), PSA response and PSA PFS, pain response and pain PFS, time to occurrence of any skeletal-related events, safety profile and health-related quality of life. Cbz pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics will be assessed in pt subgroups. Pts will be treated until progression, unacceptable toxicity or pt request. Planned enrollment is 1,170 pts; study size was calculated to achieve 90% power for OS. Study start was in May 2011; at January 2012, 219 pts were enrolled. The first DMC meeting recommended continuing the study without change.

7530 Background: Clinical trials of novel salvage therapies (ST) have encouraging outcomes for relapsed/refractory classic Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R cHL) eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). In this observational study, we report efficacies and outcomes of different ST in ASCT-eligible R/R cHL. Methods: Consecutive ASCT-eligible R/R cHL pts at 3 Mayo Clinic sites were included. Demographics and clinical variables at relapse were recorded by medical records review. Time to event endpoints were defined from relapse. Univariate associations were confirmed in multivariate models of age, sex, B symptoms, stage, bulky disease (BD, single mass > 6 cm) extra nodal disease (END), primary refractory disease (PRD) and early relapse (ER, within 1 year). Results: From Jan 2008 to May 2020, 207 ASCT-eligible pts with R/R cHL were included. Median age was 33 (24-43) years, 53% were male, 52% had advanced stage, 24% had BD, 36% had B symptoms, 41% had END, 11% had PRD and 43% had ER. All patients received ST and underwent ASCT; 43 (21%) received 2 ST, 14 (7%) 3 ST and 4 (0.5%) received 4 ST. 6 groups of ST were identified: ifosfamide, carboplatin and etoposide (ICE), bendamustine/brentuximab (BBV), brentuximab vedotin (BV), gemcitabine-based therapy (Gem), checkpoint inhibitor (CPI), and others. Table lists response to first line ST. BBV had significantly higher overall response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) as first ST in univariate and multivariate models. 114 (79%) after ICE, 30 (97%) after BBV, 15 (56%) after BV, 25 (76%) after Gem, 8 (73%) after CPI and 15 (79%) after other ST underwent ASCT. Higher number of pts were bridged to ASCT after BBV than ICE (p<0.01). 110 (53%) went to ASCT in CR, 74 (36%) in partial response (PR) and 11% in progressive disease (PD). 43 received BV maintenance (BVm) after ASCT. Pts going to ASCT in PR or PD had significantly lower progression free survival (PFS) compared to pts in CR (2 yr PFS: 62%, 18% vs 77%, respectively, p<0.0001) in univariate and multivariate models. There was no difference in PFS and overall survival (OS) by type of ST. BVm was associated with higher PFS (HR 0.3 (CI95 0.2-0.8)) and higher number of ST was associated with lower OS (HR 2 (CI95 1.4-3)) in multivariate model (p<0.001). For pts transplanted in CR, there was no significant difference in PFS and OS by type of ST but higher number of ST predicted lower OS (HR 2.4 (CI95 1.2-3.5), p<0.01). Conclusions: Type of ST did not predict survival, response to and number of ST did. For pts with CR, number of ST not type of ST predicted survival. BBV had higher response rates, higher rates of bridge to ASCT, and may be a preferable ST than ICE. Large, randomized trials are needed to evaluate efficacy of BBV compared to ICE.[Table: see text]
