Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma

PURPOSE Patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma are often ineligible for cisplatin-based treatments. A National Cancer Institute Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program–sponsored trial assessed the tolerability and efficacy of a gemcitabine-eribulin combination in this population. METHODS Patients with treatment-naïve advanced or recurrent metastatic urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, ureter, or urethra not amenable to curative surgery and not candidates for cisplatin-based therapy were eligible. Cisplatin ineligibility was defined as creatinine clearance less than 60 mL/min (but ≥ 30 mL/min), grade 2 neuropathy, or grade 2 hearing loss. Treatment was gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 intravenously followed by eribulin 1.4 mg/m2, both on days 1 and 8, repeated in 21-day cycles until progression or unacceptable toxicity. A Simon two-stage phase II trial design was used to distinguish between Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1 objective response rates of 20% versus 50%. RESULTS Between June 2015 and March 2017, 24 eligible patients with a median age of 73 years (range, 62 to 88 years) underwent therapy. Performance status of 0, 1, or 2 was seen in 11, 11, and two patients, respectively. Sites of disease included: lymph nodes, 16; lungs, nine; liver, seven; bladder, five; bones, two. Median number of cycles received was four (range, one to 16). Of 24 patients, 12 were confirmed responders; the observed objective response rate was 50% (95% CI, 29% to 71%). Median overall survival was 11.9 months (95% CI, 5.6 to 20.4 months), and median progression-free survival was 5.3 months (95% CI, 4.5 to 6.7 months). The most common treatment-related any-grade toxicities were fatigue (83% of patients), neutropenia (79%), anemia (63%), alopecia (50%), elevated AST (50%), and constipation, nausea, and thrombocytopenia (42% each). CONCLUSION Gemcitabine-eribulin treatment response and survival for cisplatin-ineligible patients compare favorably to other regimens. Additional research is needed.

8056 Background: E7389 is a structurally simplified synthetic macrocyclic ketone analog of halichondrin B and has a unique mechanism of microtubule binding and interaction, distinct from other agents in this class. Thus, it was our hypothesis that pts with prior taxane based therapy would respond to this agent. We conducted a phase II trial of E7389 in prior taxane-treated NSCLC pts. Methods: Eligible pts included: histologically confirmed advanced NSCLC, previous treatment with platinum-based therapy and a taxane, no more than 2 prior regimens, measurable disease, Zubrod performance status ≤ 2. Pts were classified by taxane-sensitivity status: taxane sensitive (TS) (progression >90 days after taxane) or taxane resistant (TR) (progression during or ≤90 days after taxane). Treatment: E7389 1.4 mg/m2 intravenously over 1–2 minutes on day 1 and 8 of a 21 day schedule until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: 41 pts were entered. There were 3 (15%) objective responses (7.2+, 8.5+, 10.6 mo) of 20 TS pts; and no response of 21 TR pts. Stable disease rate was 60% and 24% in TS and TR pts. respectively. Median progression free survival (PFS) is 6.3 mos TS pts. 95%CI (2.5–8.6 mos) and 1.2 mos TR pts. 95%CI (1.1–4.1 mos). Median number of cycles (range): TS 4 (1–14); TR 2 (1–7). Major toxicity included: 19 pts (46%) with grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicity including only 1 episode of febrile neutropenia and 8 pts (20%) with grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity attributable to drug including: fatigue (1), dehydration (2), nausea (2), constipation (2). Only 1 pt developed grade 3 neuropathy (course 9). Conclusions: E7389 was well tolerated with encouraging objective response, PFS and disease control rate in the TS cohort. This cohort will be expanded, using a 2-stage design, to accrue up to another 25 pts. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract Background Treatment options for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) are limited. Anthracyclines are considered key drugs for treating MPM. However, their use is limited by severe cardiac toxicities. Amrubicin (AMR) is a next-generation anthracycline that is commonly used to treat lung cancer. We conducted a phase II trial of this drug in patients with previously treated MPM.Methods Eligible patients with MPM having adequate organ function and a performance status of 0–2 were enrolled after disease progression following pemetrexed/platinum therapy. Patients received 35 mg/m2 AMR on days 1–3 every 3 weeks until tumor progression or the appearance of unacceptable toxicities. The primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR). Median progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), number of treatment cycles, and adverse events (AEs) were evaluated as secondary endpoints.Results This trial was discontinued because of low accrual. From September 2013 to July 2018, five patients with MPM were enrolled. Stable disease (SD) was observed in three patients (60%), and progressive disease was noted in two patients (40%). The median PFS was 2.4 (range, 1.2–11.2) months, and the median OS was 9.1 (range, 6.2–22.0) months. The median number of treatment cycles was three (range, 2–11). Grade 1/2 toxicities were observed in all patients. Grade 3/4 neutropenia was observed in four patients (80%), but there were no cases of febrile neutropenia.Conclusion Despite the absence of the responders, the observation of SD in three patients suggests that AMR could have potential for treating MPM.Trial registration number and date of registrationUMIN000010739, May 16, 2013, retrospectively registered

TPS4589 Background: Accumulating evidence supports MET as a therapeutic target in urothelial carcinoma. Activated MET can promote angiogenesis and tumor growth by upregulating VEGF and may play a role in urothelial carcinoma pathogenesis. Cabozantinib inhibits primarily VEGFR2 and MET pathways. Cabozantinib has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of progressive metastatic medullary thyroid cancer, is in Phase 3 trials for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and has demonstrated clinical activity in multiple solid tumors. We previously reported that shed MET levels in serum and urine of patients with urothelial carcinoma correlate with stage, presence of visceral metastases and urinary source and that cabozantinib is effective in reversing HGF-driven urothelial carcinoma cell growth and invasion. These data support the evaluation of cabozantinib in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Methods: This is a phase II study of oral cabozantinib 60mg daily given continuously in 28-day cycles. There are three study cohorts: [1] metastatic urothelial carcinoma [2] bone only metastatic urothelial carcinoma [3] metastatic non-urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, urethra, ureter, or renal pelvis. A maximum of 55 subjects will be enrolled. Up to 45 patients will be accrued to cohort 1.The remainder will be enrolled on exploratory cohorts 2 & 3. A two-stage single-arm phase II design will be employed. The primary objective is to determine the objective response rate in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma who have progressed on prior chemotherapy. Secondary objectives include progression free survival, safety and toxicity, and overall survival. Exploratory objectives include tumor tissue Met expression, shed MET levels in serum and urine, immune subsets, genetic biomarkers, molecular markers of angiogenesis and circulating tumor cells, correlation with clinical response parameters. Finally we will explore treatment evaluation with FDG and NaF PET/CT compared to standard imaging. This study is supported by the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP).

PURPOSE We assessed the safety and efficacy of cabozantinib and nivolumab (CaboNivo) and CaboNivo plus ipilimumab (CaboNivoIpi) in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) and other genitourinary (GU) malignances. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients received escalating doses of CaboNivo or CaboNivoIpi. The primary objective was to establish a recommended phase II dose (RP2D). Secondary objectives included objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DoR), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Fifty-four patients were enrolled at eight dose levels with a median follow-up time of 44.6 months; data cutoff was January 20, 2020. Grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events (AEs) occurred in 75% and 87% of patients treated with CaboNivo and CaboNivoIpi, respectively, and included fatigue (17% and 10%, respectively), diarrhea (4% and 7%, respectively), and hypertension (21% and 10%, respectively); grade 3 or 4 immune-related AEs included hepatitis (0% and 13%, respectively) and colitis (0% and 7%, respectively). The RP2D was cabozantinib 40 mg/d plus nivolumab 3 mg/kg for CaboNivo and cabozantinib 40 mg/d, nivolumab 3 mg/kg, and ipilimumab 1 mg/kg for CaboNivoIpi. ORR was 30.6% (95% CI, 20.0% to 47.5%) for all patients and 38.5% (95% CI, 13.9% to 68.4%) for patients with mUC. Median DoR was 21.0 months (95% CI, 5.4 to 24.1 months) for all patients and not reached for patients with mUC. Median PFS was 5.1 months (95% CI, 3.5 to 6.9 months) for all patients and 12.8 months (95% CI, 1.8 to 24.1 months) for patients with mUC. Median OS was 12.6 months (95% CI, 6.9 to 18.8 months) for all patients and 25.4 months (95% CI, 5.7 to 41.6 months) for patients with mUC. CONCLUSION CaboNivo and CaboNivoIpi demonstrated manageable toxicities with durable responses and encouraging survival in patients with mUC and other GU tumors. Multiple phase II and III trials are ongoing for these combinations.

Multikinase Inhibitor

Purpose Sorafenib and lenvatinib are oral multikinase inhibitors targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and approved for radioiodine (RAI)-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). However, there are no approved second- or third-line therapies. MET is implicated in resistance to VEGFR inhibitors. Cabozantinib is an oral multikinase inhibitor targeting MET in addition to VEGFR and is approved for medullary thyroid cancer. In a phase I study of cabozantinib, five of eight patients with DTC previously treated with a VEGFR-targeted therapy had an objective response to cabozantinib. Patients and Methods Patients with RAI-refractory disease with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) measurable disease and evidence of progression on prior VEGFR-targeted therapy were enrolled in this single-arm phase II study. The cabozantinib starting dose was 60 mg/day orally but could be escalated to 80 mg if the patient did not experience a response. Patients underwent tumor assessment according to RECIST v1.1 every 8 weeks. In this study, if at least five of 25 response-evaluable patients had an objective response, cabozantinib would be considered a promising agent in this patient population. Results Twenty-five patients were enrolled. The median age was 64 years, and 64% of patients were men. Twenty-one patients had received only one prior VEGFR-targeted therapy (sorafenib, pazopanib, or cediranib), and four patients had received two such therapies. The most common treatment-related adverse events were fatigue, weight loss, diarrhea, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, and hypertension. One drug-related death was noted. Of the 25 patients, 10 (40%) had a partial response, 13 (52%) had stable disease, and two (8%) had nonevaluable disease. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 12.7 months and 34.7 months, respectively. Conclusion Cabozantinib demonstrated clinically significant, durable objective response activity in patients with RAI-refractory DTC who experienced disease progression while taking prior VEGFR-targeted therapy.

The Impact

359 Background: Statins are HMG-CoA inhibitors that regulate several mechanisms involved in tumor growth, including mitochondrial metabolism, activation of oncogenic signaling pathways, and immune modulation. Population-based studies showed that statin intake may be negatively associated with RCC onset. The impact of statins on response to immunotherapy in mRCC is unknown. Herein we study the association between statin administration and outcomes in patients with mRCC treated with nivolumab in the NIVOREN-GETUG AFU 26 phase II trial (NCT03013335). Methods: Patients with mRCC who failed previous VEGFR inhibitors were included. We assessed nivolumab activity, including objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) according to statin intake at baseline. Toxicity was assessed using CTCAE v4.0. Results: Overall,133 patients were treated with statins at baseline among 702 evaluable for concomitant therapies (19%). Among them, median age was 68 (49-90), 84% were male, 85% had a performance status ≥ 80%, 42% were overweight and 20% obese. Patients treated with statins had mostly good (23%) or intermediate (58%) IMDC risk, 64% had grade 3 or 4 tumors, and nivolumab was given in a third line setting or more in 55%. Median follow-up was 23.9 months (95%CI 23.0-24.5) in the overall cohort. The ORR was 26% in patients treated with statins, PFS 5.0 months (CI95% 3.0 – 5.5), OS 27.9 months (CI95% 19.4-30.3). Outcomes of patients with or without statins did not differ significantly. Similar rates of grade 3-5 TRAE were reported in patients with (20%) or without (18%) statin intake. Conclusions: This is the first study to evaluate statin intake and outcomes with nivolumab in patients with mRCC. Despite numerically higher ORR, statins were not significantly associated with improved outcomes. These data require other analyzes considering other factors such as BMI and other comorbidities. Further studies may help better understand the interplay between immunity and metabolic reprogramming in RCC.

3579 Background: Irinotecan (I) plus bolus 5-FU (F) and leucovorin (L) comprise the IFL regimen, a very active treatment in mCRC when combined with bevacizumab (B). The response rate (RR) for IFL-B given as first-line treatment is 45%, with a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 10.6 months and a median survival of 20.3 months. The IFL regimen is now considered inferior to infusional 5-FU regimens, such as FOLFIRI, which have less toxicity and improved efficacy. Methods: We designed a 43 patient (pt), single-arm phase II trial of FOLFIRI-B with B (5mg/kg), I (180mg/m2), bolus of F (400mg/m2) and L (400mg/m2) followed by a 46-hour infusion of F (2400mg/m2), with a primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS). Chemotherapy naïve mCRC patients (pts) with adequate organ function and performance status 0–2 received B alone on Day minus 14, starting FOLFIRI + B on Day 1. DCE-MRI and laboratory correlates were completed before and after B alone and cycle 1. Once cycle is equivalent to two weeks. Results: 21 pts, median age 59 y/o (range 26–75), M:F = 15:6, 4 with prior F in adjuvant setting, have been enrolled to date. 20 pts are evaluable for response. One pt is too early. A total of 215 cycles have been administered (median 11). Median PFS has not been reached after a median follow-up of 8 months. By intent-to-treat analysis, there were 14 PRs (70%), and 5 (25%) pts with stable disease observed (including 1 unconfirmed PR). PRs were observed from 9 to 35 weeks after the first cycle (median: 18 weeks). 9 pts remain on treatment (1–12 months); 12 pts are off study (3 for progressive disease, 1 withdrew, 4 sent for curative surgery, 2 for toxicity, 2 sent for surgery unrelated to cancer). Toxicity included 10 cases of grade 3 neutropenia, including 1 febrile neutropenia, 4 venous thrombi, and 6 cases of hypertension requiring medication change. One pt included in the analysis developed peritonitis, considered a possible microperforation, after B alone and never received FOLFIRI. No ≥ grade 3 diarrhea was observed. Analysis of correlative studies will be presented at a later date. Conclusion: Our preliminary results indicate that FOLFIRI-B is well tolerated and an excellent choice as a first-line treatment for mCRC. [Table: see text]

4566 Background: Docetaxel, in combination with cisplatin or oxaliplatin, has demonstrated efficacy against AGC. This randomized phase II trial evaluated two weekly docetaxel-based regimens to see which would be most promising according to objective response rate (ORR) as first-line therapy in AGC. Methods: Chemotherapy-naïve patients with measurable unresectable and/or metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma and a performance status ≤2 were randomly assigned to receive docetaxel (35 mg/m2) weekly on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle plus either cisplatin (60 mg/m2 on day 1) (arm A) or oxaliplatin (120 mg/m2 on day 1) (arm B). Toxicity was assessed on days 1, 8, and 21 of each cycle, and response was evaluated every 2 cycles. Results: Between March 2007 and December 2008, 61 eligible patients entered. In Arm A, 29 patients were evaluable for objective response and 31 for safety. In Arm B, 28 patients were evaluable for objective response and 30 for safety. Median age was 52 years and disease status was comparable for both arms. Ten of 29 (34.5%) patients had a confirmed objective response in the arm A (95% confidence interval [CI] 17.1–51.8%) and 11 of 28 (39.2%) patients had a confirmed objective response in the arm B (95% CI 21.1- 57.2%). No significant difference was noted between the arms both for ORR (p=0.202) or for disease control (58.6% and 82.1%, respectively, p=0.082). Median progression free survival time was 4.4 month in the arm A and 4.3 months in the arm B (Hazard ratio = 0.936; 95% CI, 0.503–1.744; p = 0.836). There was no relevant difference in the occurrence of overall grade ¾ toxicity between the two arms (51.6% vs. 46.6%, respectively; p=0.800). Neutropenia was the most common grade 3/4 toxicity (32.3% vs. 36.6%, respectively). There was one treatment related death in Arm B. Conclusions: The preliminary results showed that both treatment arms have similar clinical efficacy as front-line treatment in AGC. Each regimen has a manageable tolerability profile. The accrual is ongoing. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e19074 Background: S-1 is a novel oral 5-fluorouracil derivative that exhibits obvious activity against various tumor types including NSCLC. However, the effects of S-1 against SCLC have not been reported. The present phase II trial assesses the efficacy and safety of S-1 in previously treated SCLC patients. Methods: Eligible patients had pathologically documented SCLC that relapsed after platinum-based chemotherapy, ECOG performance status (PS) 0–2, and adequate bone marrow, kidney and liver function. Patients with untreated or symptomatic brain metastasis were excluded. Treatment comprised the oral administration of S-1 at 40 mg/m2 twice each day for 28 days every 6 weeks. The primary end point was the objective tumor response rate (RECIST). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival and overall survival. Results: Twenty-six evaluable patients were enrolled (Simon's two-stage optimal design; α = 0.1; β = 0.1; P0 = 0.05; P1 = 0.25) with the following characteristics: male: female, 22/4; median age, 68 (33 - 79) y; PS0–1, n = 21; PS2, n = 5. The median number of prior treatment regimens was 2 (1–3). S-1 was administered for a mean of 1.3 cycles (1 - 5). One patient (3.8%) partially responded, 10 (38.5%) had stable and 15 (57.7%) had progressive disease. The overall response rate was 3.8% and the disease control rate was 42.3%. The median time to progression was 33 days. The median survival time was 8.0 months and the 1-year survival rate was 23%. This regimen was well tolerated. The common grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia (7.7%), leukopenia (7.7%), anemia (7.7%), hyponatremia (7.7%), rush (7.7%), infection (7.7%), and diarrhea (3.8%). None of the patients developed febrile neutropenia and no deaths were attributed to treatment. Conclusions: S-1 is well tolerated but has low activity as a single agent in previously treated patients with SCLC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e18046 Background: Platinum and non-platinum doublet chemotherapy has similar efficacy in advanced NSCLC patients (pts). Bevacizumab (B) improves outcomes when added to platinum doublets, but its safety and efficacy in combination with non-platinum doublets is unknown. This study was designed to test the combination of B, docetaxel (D), and gemcitabine (G) in first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC. Methods: Pts with metastatic, non-squamous NSCLC, PS 0-1, and measurable disease by RECIST were enrolled in this open-label, single arm phase II trial. Pts received D (75 mg/m2) on d1, G (900 mg/m2) on d1 & 8, and B (15 mg/kg) on d1 every 21d for up to 6 cycles, followed by B maintenance until progression or 12 mos total. Pts received growth factor d9. CT scans were performed every 6 wks. The primary endpoint was 1-yr progression-free survival (PFS), with secondary endpoints of safety, objective response rate (ORR), overall PFS, and overall survival (OS). Pts with tumor cavitation, untreated brain metastases, and hemoptysis were excluded. Planned enrollment was 46. Results: 13 pts were enrolled from 12/2009 to 4/2011. Pt characteristics: Median age 63 (35-69), 85% male, PS 0 (38%), PS 1 (62%). The median # of cycles of chemotherapy was 6 (1-6), median # cycles of B was 4 (1-15), with 2 pts coming off study prior to the first evaluation (1 grade 5 encephalopathy, 1 grade 4 febrile neutropenia). 5 pts (38%) had chemo dose reduction and 4 (31%) discontinued treatment for toxicity. 3 pts (23%) discontinued B prior to progression, 2 for tumor cavitation and 1 for grade 1 hemoptysis. The grade 3-5 non-hematologic toxicity rate was 69%, with 6 pts (46%) hospitalized with pneumonitis/pneumonia felt possibly related to study drugs. At this point enrollment was halted for safety concerns. The 1-yr PFS was 8%, and the median PFS was 6.9 mos (95% CI 2.0-NYR). 11 pts were evaluable for response, and 6 pts had partial responses for an ORR of 55%. The median OS was NYR with median follow up of 10.9 mos. Conclusions: The combination of B, D, and G was not tolerable at the doses and schedule used in this study. A formal phase I trial is needed if this combination is to be investigated further.
