PURPOSE SARC024 is a phase II clinical trial of the multikinase inhibitor regorafenib in specific sarcoma subtypes, including advanced osteosarcoma. We hypothesized that regorafenib would improve progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with sarcoma and report the results of the osteosarcoma cohort. PATIENTS AND METHODS This trial enrolled patients with progressive metastatic osteosarcoma with measurable disease by RECIST who had received at least one prior line of therapy. Patients were randomly assigned at a ratio of one to one to regorafenib or placebo. Crossover was allowed at time of disease progression. PFS was the primary end point of the study, which was powered to detect a difference of at least 3 months in median PFS. RESULTS Forty-two patients from 12 centers were enrolled between September 2014 and May 2018. Median age was 37 years (range, 18 to 76 years). Patients had received an average of 2.3 prior therapy regimens. Ten patients receiving placebo crossed over to active drug at time of progression. Study enrollment was stopped early, after a data safety monitoring committee review. Median PFS was significantly improved with regorafenib versus placebo: 3.6 months (95% CI, 2.0 to 7.6 months) versus 1.7 months (95% CI, 1.2 to 1.8 months), respectively (hazard ratio, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.21 to 0.85; P = .017). In the context of the crossover design, there was no statistically significant difference in overall survival. Fourteen (64%) of 22 patients initially randomly assigned to regorafenib experienced grade 3 to 4 events attributed to treatment, including one grade 4 colonic perforation. CONCLUSION The study met its primary end point, demonstrating activity of regorafenib in patients with progressive metastatic osteosarcoma. No new safety signals were observed. Regorafenib should be considered a treatment option for patients with relapsed metastatic osteosarcoma.

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.

8527 Background: The preliminary results for 90 patients (pt) on this 4-arm phase II trial testing sorafenib (SO), an oral Raf kinase/VEGFR2 inhibitor, and temozolomide (TEM) in pt with metastatic melanoma (MM) were presented in 2006. Since then 88% of target accrual is completed and the study is open at a second institution. The primary objective of this study is to estimate the duration of progression- free survival (PFS). Secondary objectives are to determine the optimal dosing of TEM, response, and toxicity rates. Correlative studies include BRAF genotyping and assessment of intratumoral Raf inhibition, and apoptosis. Methods: Pt with MM and ECOG PS<2 are eligible. Prior therapy is allowed. Target accrual is 167 pt in 1 stage. All pt receive SO 400 mg po bid continuously. After 1 week of SO alone, pt without brain metastasis or prior TEM (A+B) are randomized to receive either extended dosing (ED): TEM 75 mg/m2 po qd for 6/8 weeks (Arm A), or standard dosing (STD): TEM 150 mg/m2 po qd for days1–5/28 (Arm B). Pt with prior TEM are treated with ED (Arm C) and pt with brain metastasis without prior TEM are treated with STD (Arm D). Responses are assessed using RECIST. Results: Accrual is complete for arms A and B. Results for 147 pt were evaluated ( Table ). SO + TEM resulted in a 19% overall response rate (ORR) [95% CI 11–30%] for pt on arms A+B. In this group, 3/78 pt (4%) developed CNS metastases while on study. Pt on arm D had a 17 % ORR [95% CI 7–34%]. Common grade 3 toxicities were hand-foot syndrome (14%), rash (9%), nausea (9%), and diarrhea (5%). Grade 3 lymphopenia was more common in arm A v. B (43% v. 16%, p=0.01). No significant difference in PFS was found between pt with WT v. mutant BRAF (n=33). Therapy-induced apoptosis was found in 8/9 serial biopsies. Analysis of MAPK phosphorylation in serial biopsies is planned. Conclusions: Updated results confirm the encouraging antitumor activity and tolerability of SO + TEM in pt with MM without a prior history of TEM. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

We evaluated outcomes of treatment with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), doxorubicin, and streptozocin (FAS) in well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) and its impact on subsequent therapy (everolimus or temozolomide). Advanced PanNET patients treated at our center from 1992 to 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients received bolus 5-FU (400 mg/m2), streptozocin (400 mg/m2) (both IV, days 1-5) and doxorubicin (40 mg/m2 IV, day 1) every 28 days. Overall response rate (ORR) was assessed using RECIST version 1.1. Of 243 eligible patients, 220 were evaluable for ORR, progression-free survival (PFS), and toxicity. Most (90%) had metastatic, nonfunctional PanNETs; 14% had prior therapy. ORR to FAS was 41% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 36-48%). Median follow-up was 61 months. Median PFS was 20 (95% CI: 15-23) months; median overall survival (OS) was 63 (95% CI: 60-71) months. Cox regression analyses suggested improvement with first-line vs subsequent lines of FAS therapy. Main adverse events ≥ grade 3 were neutropenia (10%) and nausea/vomiting (5.5%). Dose reductions were required in 32% of patients. Post-FAS everolimus (n=108; 68% second line) had a median PFS of 10 (95% CI: 8-14) months. Post-FAS temozolomide (n=60; 53% > fourth line) had an ORR of 13% and median PFS of 5.2 (95% CI: 4-12) months. In this largest reported cohort of PanNETs treated with chemotherapy, FAS demonstrated activity without significant safety concerns. FAS did not appear to affect subsequent PFS with everolimus; this sequence is being evaluated prospectively. Responses were noted with subsequent temozolomide-based regimens although PFS was possibly limited by line of therapy.

Aim: Regorafenib may be active in different cancer types. This Phase II trial included patients with various refractory cancer types treated with regorafenib. Here, we report the results of the pancreatic adenocarcinoma cohort. Methods: The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 8 weeks; further investigation of regorafenib would be warranted with a PFS rate ≥50%. Results: A total of 20 patients were enrolled. The best response was stable disease in four patients (20%). The 8-week PFS rate was 25% with a median PFS of 1.7 months (95% CI: 1.5–2.0). A total of 13 patients (65%) experienced grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events. Conclusion: The study did not meet its primary end point. Further investigation of regorafenib monotherapy in this setting is not recommended. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT02307500

3600 Background: CASAD is a naturally occurring calcium montmorrilonite clay that serves as a cation exchange absorbent. One of the active metabolites of Irinotecan is SN-38, which is adsorbed by CASAD in vitro. The study hypothesis was that oral CASAD would reduce the rate of grade 3/4 diarrhea in mCRC patients treated with irinotecan. Methods: The study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double blinded placebo-controlled phase II trial. One hundred patients receiving I-based chemotherapy were randomized equally between CASAD (1000 mg po 4x daily) and placebo in order to have 75% power to detect a difference in the proportions of patients with grade 3/4 diarrhea within 6 weeks at a 1-sided 5% significance level. We also compared symptom burden using the MDASI questionnaire summed over the 13 symptom items for weeks 0, 3, 5, and 6. Results: Between 5/2009 and 5/2012, 100 patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio between study arms. Median age 57 yrs, 54% male, 74% Non-Hispanic White, 93% performance status 0 or 1. Serious diarrhea was less frequent than expected based upon prior studies with Irinotecan. In evaluable patients, no significant difference in the rate of G3/4 diarrhea was seen (the primary endpoint): CASAD arm: 7/43 pts (16%), Placebo arm: 3/32 pts (9%), p=0.70. The rate of any diarrhea among all pts was also similar: CASAD arm 64% vs. Placebo arm 70%. The rate of study dropout was 14% in CASAD and 38% for placebo (p=0.01; 2-sided). No differences were found in symptom burden or individual symptom items or serious adverse events. Conclusions: Compared with placebo, CASAD use was safe but ineffective in preventing diarrhea in mCRC patients treated with irinotecan-containing chemotherapy regimens. There were no favorable or unfavorable signals in terms of the patient experience related to symptoms, but there were significantly more dropouts in the placebo arm. Future CASAD trials are focused on active treatment of diarrhea. Clinical trial information: NCT00748215.

663 Background: In mCRC, MET overexpression has been associated with poor prognosis and resistance to anti-VEGF therapy. We initiated a phase II study to evaluate the combination of onartuzumab (O), a ligand-blocking monoclonal antibody directed against the MET receptor, plus bevacizumab and FOLFOX, in first-line mCRC (GO27827; NCT01418222). Methods: This double-blind, randomized, multicenter phase II study randomized patients 1:1 to receive O (10 mg/kg iv) or placebo (P), plus mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab (5 mg/kg iv). Stratification was by prior adjuvant therapy. All treatments were given on day 1–3 of a 2-week cycle. Oxaliplatin was given for up to 8–12 cycles; all other agents were continued until progression, unacceptable toxicity or death. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) in ITT and MET+ subgroup by immunohistochemistry (IHC). MET status was determined by central laboratory IHC evaluation, with scores of 2+ or 3+ considered MET+. Results: From September 2011 to November 2012, 194 patients were enrolled. A recommendation was made to stop O after an interim efficacy and safety analysis in September 2013, due to lack of efficacy. The final analysis (cut-off Feb 2014) found that O did not improve PFS vs. P in the ITT (HR 0.75 [0.52–1.08]; p=0.12) or MET IHC+ populations (n=79; HR 1.03 [0.56–1.89]; p=0.93), although improvement was noted in the MET IHC− population (n=108; HR 0.60 [0.37–0.97]; p=0.03). Neither overall survival (OS) nor response rate (RR) was improved with O vs. P in any of the groups (OS HR 0.96 [0.61–1.50], p=0.85 for ITT; OS HR 1.24 [0.63–2.43], p=0.54 for MET IHC+; OS HR 0.83 [0.44–1.56], p=0.56 for MET IHC−; RR 57.3% vs. 57.7% for ITT, 43.2% vs. 57.1% for MET IHC+, 66.1% vs. 60.8% for MET IHC−). More edema (65.7% vs. 12.9%) and venous thromboembolic events (30.3% vs. 16.1%) were seen with O vs. P, respectively. Grade ≥3 events were similar (86.9% vs. 84.9%) and events leading to discontinuation were increased (48.5% vs. 37.6%) with O vs. P. Conclusions: Adding onartuzumab to FOLFOX/bevacizumab did not prolong PFS in first-line unselected or MET IHC+ mCRC. A trend towards PFS benefit was seen in those with MET IHC− mCRC, contrary to prior reports in other tumor types. Clinical trial information: NCT01418222.

5048 Background: ENZA has demonstrated benefit in men with metastatic and nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). ARCHES assessed the efficacy of ENZA with ADT in men with mHSPC, including pre-specified subgroups based on prior therapy. Methods: ARCHES, a multinational, double-blind, Phase 3 study (NCT02677896), randomized patients (pts) with mHSPC 1:1 to ENZA (160 mg/day) + ADT or PBO + ADT, stratified by disease volume (CHAARTED criteria) and prior docetaxel (doce) use. Primary endpoint was radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS; centrally assessed radiographic progression or death within 24 weeks of treatment discontinuation). Secondary endpoints included time to initiation of new antineoplastic therapy and overall survival (OS). Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: 1150 men were randomized to ENZA (n = 574) or PBO (n = 576). Overall, 63% had high-volume disease, 18% had prior doce, and 91% had prior ADT or orchiectomy (orch). Median follow-up was 14.4 mo. ENZA + ADT significantly improved rPFS (Table); significant improvements in rPFS were also reported in prior treatment subgroups. Secondary endpoints improved with ENZA + ADT (Table), with no significant impact in time to deterioration in urinary symptoms. OS data are immature. Grade 3–4 adverse events (AEs) were reported in 23.6% of ENZA pts vs. 24.7% of PBO pts with no unexpected AEs. Conclusions: ENZA + ADT significantly improved rPFS and other efficacy endpoints vs. PBO + ADT in men with mHSPC. Preliminary safety analysis appears consistent with the safety profile of ENZA in previous CRPC clinical trials. Clinical trial information: NCT02677896. [Table: see text]

7526 Background: In phase II trials in MM, GC on a 21-day (D) schedule has response rates of 16%–26% and median overall survival (OS) of 9.6–13 months (mo). Since VEGF has a key role in MM biology, we added anti-VEGF antibody B to GC in a multi-center, double- blind, placebo-controlled randomized phase II trial. Methods: Eligible pts had unresectable MM; no prior chemotherapy; PS 0–1; no thrombosis, bleeding, or major vessel invasion. Primary endpoint: progression-free survival (PFS). Statistics: 90% power to detect HR 0.57. Stratification: PS (0/1), histology (epithelial/other). G 1,250 mg/m2 D 1, 8 Q21D, C 75 mg/m2 D1 Q21D, and B 15 mg/kg or P D1 Q21D was given × 6 cycles, then B or P Q21D until progression. Baseline plasma VEGF was measured. 115 pts enrolled 12/01- 07/05 at 11 sites, 108 (GCB/GCP) 53/55 were evaluable. Male 74%/84%; median age 62/65 (range 44–78/20–84); PS 1 55%/47%; epithelial 74%/67%; pleural 93%/91%; thrombocytosis 40%/40%. Results: Cycles: total 458/424, median 7/6, range 1–42/2–39. Statistically significantly different (SSD) toxicity (p <0.05), any grade: alopecia 60%/38%; epistaxis 62%/24%; hypertension 45%/22%; non-neutropenic infection 15%/4%; proteinuria 62%/47%; stomatitis 23%/7%. There were no SSD toxicities = grade 3. Median PFS 6.9/6.0 mo (HR 0.93, p=0.88). Median OS 15.6/14.7 mo (p=0.91). 1-year survival 59%/57%. Partial response 25%/22%; stable disease 51%/60%. Median VEGF (N=56) 131/154 pg/ml (range 31–1760/5–1786). Higher VEGF was associated with shorter PFS (p=0.02) and OS (p=0.0066). In pts with VEGF = the median, PFS (p=0.043) and OS (p=0.028) were significantly greater for GCB than GCP; in high VEGF strata this was not SSD. Conclusion: Adding B to GC in MM pts does not yield statistically significant differences in PFS, OS, response, or grade ¾ toxicity. GCB-treated pts with low VEGF levels had longer PFS and OS.

7076 Background: NGR-hTNF exploits the asparagine-glycine-arginine (NGR) peptide for selectively targeting tumor necrosis factor (TNF) to cancer endothelial cells. Tumor hypervascularity is an independent predictor of poor overall survival (OS) in MPM patients (pts). Methods: We report long-term results of a phase II trial that assessed NGR-hTNF in MPM pts with performance status (PS) ≤ 2 and radiologic progressive disease (PD) after a pemetrexed-based regimen. NGR-hTNF was given at 0.8 µg/m2 every 3 weeks (q3w) in 43 pts and weekly (q1w) in 14 pts. Primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS), with restaging done q6w by MPM-modified RECIST criteria, while secondary aims included disease control (DC) rate and OS. We also tested the impact on outcome of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) at baseline (median 3; interquartile range 2-5). Median follow-up was 32.5 months (95% CI 27.5-37.5). Results: Baseline characteristics were (n=57): median age 57 years; M/F 35/22; PS 0/1-2 31/26; EORTC score good/poor 45/12. Median treatment free interval on prior therapy was 4.3 months. Only one drug-related grade ≥ 3 adverse events (AEs) was noted, common grade 1/2 AEs being transient chills (75%). No higher toxicity was reported using the q1w schedule. Median PFS was 2.8 months (95% CI 2.2-3.3). DC rate was 46% (95% CI 32-59; 26/57 pts; 1 partial response, 25 stable diseases) and was maintained for a median time of 4.7 months (95% CI 4.0-5.4). OS rates at 1 and 2 years were 47% and 16%, respectively. Median OS was longer in pts with DC than in those with early PD (16.2 and 8.3 months, respectively; p=.02). According to schedule, 6-month PFS rates were 11% and 36% and 2-year OS rates were 12% and 29% for q3w and q1w, respectively. In pts with DC, median PFS were 4.4 and 9.1 months and median OS were 13.3 and 24.8 months for q3w and q1w, respectively. By Cox analyses, a PS of 0 (p=.01) and a low baseline NLR (p=.004) were the only variables associated with improved OS. Median OS in pts stratified by NLR ≤ 2, 3 to 4, and ≥ 5 were 15.7, 10.5, and 4.2 months, respectively (p=.0002 for trend). Conclusions: NGR-hTNF showed promising PFS and OS in this study. A double-blind phase III trial is currently testing best investigator choice ± NGR-hTNF q1w in pemetrexed-pretreated MPM pts (NCT01098266).

The preplanned interim analysis reported here showed that the primary end point was met, upon which the IDMC recommended unblinding the study. Methods: Pts received BR ( ≤ 6 cycles) and were randomized 1:1 to ibr (420 mg daily) or plb. Purine analog refractoriness was a stratification factor. Pts with del17p ( > 20% of cells) were excluded. Primary end point was independent review committee (IRC)-assessed progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points included overall survival (OS) and overall response rate (ORR) per IRC. Results: 578 pts were randomized (289 per arm); median age 64 yrs; 38% Rai Stage III/IV; median 2 prior therapies. 6 cycles of BR were completed in 83% and 78% of pts in the ibr and plb arms, respectively. At a median follow-up of 17.2 months, IRC-assessed PFS was significantly longer with BR+ibr vs BR+plb (median not reached vs 13.3 months; HR: 0.203, 95% CI: 0.150-0.276, P< 0.0001); PFS results were consistent across high-risk subgroups. ORR and CR/CRi rates were 82.7% vs 67.8% (P< 0.0001) and 10.4% vs 2.8%. Median OS was not reached. 90 pts (31%) in the BR+plb arm with confirmed PD crossed over to receive ibr, as permitted per the protocol. Incidence of most AEs was similar between arms. The most common all-grade AEs with BR+ibr and BR+plb were neutropenia (58.2% vs 54.7%) and nausea (36.9% vs 35.2%); most common grade 3/4 AEs were neutropenia (53.7% vs 50.5%) and thrombocytopenia (15.0% each arm). Rates of grade 3/4 atrial fibrillation were 2.8% and 0.7%, and major hemorrhage were 2.1% and 1.7%. Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) was improved with BR+ibr vs BR+plb. Conclusions: The addition of ibr to BR reduced the risk of progression or death by 80% compared with BR+plb. ORR was also significantly improved. Safety of BR+ibr was consistent with the known profiles for BR and ibr. The data further support ibr as an important treatment option for pts with previously treated CLL/SLL.
