17008 Background: New effective therapies are needed to improve the outcome of patients with advanced NSCLC. In this regard, new approaches such as cisplatin-based triplets have been explored with promising results but high toxicity. Furthermore, sequential chemotherapy schedules with taxanes followed by cisplatin-based regimens or viceversa could improve activity. A phase II study showed that sequential chemotherapy with weekly paclitaxel followed by CGV was highly active. Methods: A multicenter, randomized phase II trial of PCGV vs CGV in advanced NSCLC patients was conducted. Primary end-point: time to progression and survival. Eligible pts had unresectable, histologically confirmed NSCLC; no prior chemotherapy; PS 0–2; measurable disease. Pts received: Arm A (PCGV): P 150 mg /m2/week × 6, followed 2 weeks later by C 100 mg/m2 on day 1, gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 14, and vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 on days 1 and 14 (CGV), every 28 days for a maximum of six courses. Arm B (CGV): C 100 mg/m2 on day 1, gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 14, and vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 on days 1 and 14 (CGV), every 28 days for a maximum of six courses. Results: 106 Pts were included. Pts baseline characteristics (A/B: 52/54): male 82/79%; median age 60/59 (range 38–75 years); PS 0: 30/33%; 1 63/60%; 2: 7/7%; % squamous carcinoma:44/42%.WHO grade 3–4 toxicities for P were: neutropenia 18%; anemia 10%; thrombocytopenia 2%, peripheral neuropathy 18%. Grade 3–4 toxicities for CGV after P were: neutropenia 31%,nausea-vomiting 20%,thrombocytopenia 7%,anemia 5%,peripheral neuropathy 21%. WHO grade 3–4 toxicities for arm B were: neutropenia 35%,nausea-vomiting 19%, anemia 12%, thrombocytopenia 11% and peripheral neuropathy 15%. After therapy with arm A, 44% achieved a partial response, 15% had stabilization and 41% progressed. Arm B response rate were as follows: partial response 33%, stable disease 24% and progressive disease 43%. Median time to progression was (A/B) 7/6 months (log rank test, p 0.13) and median survival was (A/B): 11/10 months (log rank test, p 0.5). Conclusions: In spite of high response rate in TCGV arm, no survival benefit was detected in advanced NSCLC patients. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

7103 Background: We previously reported that triplets with P-gemcitabine (G) plus vinorelbine (V) (PGV) or paclitaxel (T) (PGT) prolonged the survival (S) of advanced NSCLC patients (pts) in comparison with P-based doublets (PG or PV). Aims of the present study were: (1) to compare (log-rank test) the S of P-based triplets vs P-free doublets, and (2) to compare (Fisher test) safety and response rate (RR) of T- and V-regimens. Methods: A 2x2 factorial design was adopted. Pts aged ≤ 70 years, with PS (ECOG) < 2, inoperable stage IIIA, IIIB, or IV NSCLC were randomly treated with: GV = G 1,000 mg/m2 + V 25 mg/m2 on day (D) 1 and 8; GT = G 1,000 mg/m2 + T 125 mg/m2 on D 1 and 8; PGV = P 50 mg/m2 on D 1 and 8 + GV; PGT = P 50 mg/m2 on D 1 and 8 + GT. In all arms, cycles were repeated Q 3 weeks. Only responder pts after 3 cycles received further chemotherapy (CT). Thoracic RT was delivered after CT to pts with intra-thoracic disease. 330 events were required to have a 90% power to demonstrate (two-sided P < 0.05) a 30% reduction of hazard of death. Results: From April 2001 to December 2005, 431 pts were recruited in the 4 arms. Characteristics in % were well balanced in P-based triplets and P-free doublets: males, 84/91; PS 0, 25/23; squamous cell carcinoma, 38/42; weight loss, 22/29; stage IV, 66/65; CNS metastases, 5/8; ≥ 2 metastatic sites, 29/30. So far, 411 pts were assessed for response: RR of triplets vs doublets was 88/204 (43%) vs 68/207 (33%) (P = 0.020), and of T-based vs V-based regimens was 40% vs 36% (P = 0.218). To date, 313 deaths were registered: median and 1-year S were 10.6 mo. and 41% for pts treated with triplets, and 10.4 mo. and 39% for pts treated with doublets (P = 0.786). Over initial 3 courses, occurrence of grade ≥ 3 toxicity (T vs V, % pts) was: neutropenia, 18% vs 30% (P < 0.004); febrile neutropenia, 4% vs 7%; platelets, 7% vs 12% (P = 0.056); anemia, 5% vs 7%; vomiting, 1% vs 2%; diarrhea, 6% vs 3%; stomatitis, 3% vs 0.5%. Grade ≥ 2 neurotoxicity occurred in 1% of both groups. Conclusions: Activity was significantly higher with P-based triplets, but they did not affect the OS. T-based regimens were equally active and less toxic than V-based regimens. Therefore, the GT regimen may represent a new standard of care for advanced NSCLC pts.

Abstract This study sought to determine whether re-irradiation (ReRT) and concurrent bevacizumab (BEV) improves overall survival (OS) compared to BEV alone in recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). Patients (pts) were randomized 1:1 to ReRT (35 Gy/10 fractions) plus BEV (IV 10 mg/kg q2 wks) vs. BEV alone. With 160 pts, there was 80% power to detect a 31% reduction in death hazard for BEV+RT at a one-sided significance level of 0.10 using a log rank test. OS and PFS were estimated by Kaplan-Meier and HRs estimated by exact binomial distribution. Objective response was assessed using MacDonald and RANO criteria. From 11/2012 to 4/2016, 182 pts were randomized, with 170 eligible, analyzable pts. 11 pts did not receive protocol treatment. Patient characteristics (age, KPS, re-resection rates) were balanced between arms. Median f/u for censored pts was 12.8 months (mos; min-max, 0.03–52.8). BEV+ReRT did not improve OS vs BEV alone, with median OS of 10.1 vs 9.7 mos, (HR=0.98, 95% CI=0.70–1.38, p=0.46). Median PFS for BEV+RT and BEV was 7.1 vs. 3.8 mos, respectively (HR=0.73, 95% CI=0.53–1.0, p=0.051). BEV+ReRT improved 6-mo PFS rate (PFS6): 54 vs. 29%, (HR=0.42, 95% CI=0.34–0.5, p=0.001). Overall, treatment was well tolerated: 5% acute and 0% delayed grade 3+ treatment-related AE. Most patients died from recurrent GBM. CONCLUSION: RTOG 1205 is the first, prospective, randomized multi-institutional study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ReRT in recurrent GBM using modern RT techniques. Overall, ReRT was shown to be safe and well tolerated. BEV+ReRT did not demonstrate a benefit in OS but an improved PFS6, and clinically meaningful PFS improvement. Molecular correlates of response analyses are ongoing. Funded by U10CA180868, U10CA180822 from the National Cancer Institute.

17139 Background: G has demonstrated to be active in patients with advanced NSCLC pretreated with chemotherapy. We report our experience about activity and safety of G in patients with advanced, heavily pre-treated NSCLC or chemotherapy-naive patients with a low performance status. Methods: The records of the patients treated with G were reviewed; all the patients pre-treated with at least one course of a platinum-containing regimen or with low performance status were considered eligible and enrolled in the trial. All the patients were treated with G 250 mg/die until progression of the disease or intractable toxicity. All the patients were evaluated every 21 days for toxicity and every 2 months for survival. Primary end point was time to progression (TTP); secondary ones were overall survival (OS) and safety. Results: Till today 56 patients were considered eligible and enrolled in the trial; the results are summarised in the table . *: using Kaplan-Meyer test. No significant differences in OS were observed between the patients chemotherapy-naive with low performance status or pre-treated with one line of chemotherapy vs heavily pretreated ones (respectively 170 days vs 120 days, p = 0.85 using the Log-Rank test). Toxicity was mild with no haematological side effects and grade IV diarrhoea in 1 patient (1.7%). Conclusions: G seems to represent an interesting option in patients with NSCLC with low performance status or heavily pre-treated with chemotherapy. Our data seem to confirm that G is an active and safe treatment in such a subset of patients, opening a novel dimension in the treatment of pre-treated NSCLC (supported by IOR).

Purpose This is the first randomized phase II/III trial comparing two carboplatin-based chemotherapy regimens in patients with urothelial cancer who are ineligible (“unfit”) for cisplatin chemotherapy. Patients and Methods The primary objective of the phase III part of this study was to compare the overall survival (OS) of chemotherapy-naive patients with measurable disease and an impaired renal function (glomerular filtration rate < 60 but > 30 mL/min) and/or performance score of 2 who were randomly assigned to receive either gemcitabine/carboplatin (GC) or methotrexate/carboplatin/vinblastine (M-CAVI). To detect an increase of 50% in median survival with GC compared with M-CAVI (13.5 v 9 months) based on a two-sided log-rank test at error rates α = .05 and β = .20, 225 patients were required. Secondary end points were overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), toxicity, and quality of life. Results In all, 238 patients were randomly assigned by 29 institutions over a period of 7 years. The median follow-up was 4.5 years. Best ORRs were 41.2% (36.1% confirmed response) for patients receiving GC versus 30.3% (21.0% confirmed response) for patients receiving M-CAVI (P = .08). Median OS was 9.3 months in the GC arm and 8.1 months in the M-CAVI arm (P = .64). There was no difference in PFS (P = .78) between the two arms. Severe acute toxicity (death, grade 4 thrombocytopenia with bleeding, grade 3 or 4 renal toxicity, neutropenic fever, or mucositis) was observed in 9.3% of patients receiving GC and 21.2% of patients receiving M-CAVI. Conclusion There were no significant differences in efficacy between the two treatment groups. The incidence of severe acute toxicities was higher for those receiving M-CAVI.

PURPOSE: This was a multicentric, open, randomized, phase II study of single-agent paclitaxel and oxaliplatin to evaluate the efficacy of oxaliplatin in a relapsing progressive ovarian cancer patient population and to analyze the safety profile and impact of both agents on quality of life, time to progression, and survival. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eighty-six patients with platinum-pretreated advanced ovarian cancer were randomly assigned to two arms: 41 received paclitaxel at 175 mg/m2 over 3 hours every 3 weeks, and 45 received oxaliplatin at 130 mg/m2 over 2 hours every 3 weeks. For inclusion, patients had to have a performance status of 0 to 2 and to have received at least one and no more than two prior cisplatin- and/or carboplatin-containing chemotherapy regimens within the last 12 months. RESULTS: Seven confirmed responses were observed in each arm, for an overall response rate in the total treated population of 17% (95% confidence interval [CI], 7% to 32%) in the paclitaxel arm and 16% (95% CI, 7% to 29%) in the oxaliplatin arm. Median time to progression was 14 weeks and 12 weeks, and overall survival was 37 weeks and 42 weeks in the paclitaxel and oxaliplatin arms, respectively. Among 63 patients with a 0- to 6-month progression-free, platinum-free interval, there were five objective responses with paclitaxel in 31 patients and two objective responses with oxaliplatin in 32 patients. Nine patients (22%) in the paclitaxel arm had grade 3 or 4 neutropenia (National Cancer Institute of Canada [NCIC] Common Toxicity Criteria). Two patients (4%) experienced grade 3 thrombocytopenia in the oxaliplatin arm. Maximum grade (grade 3) NCIC neurosensory toxicity was experienced by three patients (7%) in the paclitaxel arm and by four patients (9%) in the oxaliplatin arm. CONCLUSION: Single-agent oxaliplatin at 130 mg/m2 every 3 weeks is active with moderate toxicity in patients with cisplatin-/carboplatin-pretreated advanced ovarian cancer.

4527 Background: A phase II trial was performed to determine the antitumor efficacy and tolerance of combined docetaxel and oxaliplatin in previously untreated, advanced patients with gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. Methods: Thirty-six patients with histologically confirmed advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma were entered in this trial. Treatment consisted of 3-weekly courses of docetaxel 80 mg/m2 and oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 both given on day 1. A 5-day course of human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) 5 μg/kg/day was given subcutaneously to prevent neutropenia; in addition, if haemoglobin was <12.0 mg/dl, erythropoietin 10,000 IU was administered subcutaneously 3 times per week. Primary objective was to evaluate the time to progression. Results: The confirmed overall response rate was 36%, including 3 complete responses (8.3%) and 10 partial responses (27.7%). Fifteen patients (41.7%) had stable disease and 8 (22.3%) progressed while on treatment. The median time to response was 2.5 months, the median time to progression was 5.3 (1- 33+) months and the median overall survival time was 9.8 (2.5–35+) months with 8 (22%) patients currently alive. Hematologic toxicity was common, though WHO grade 3/4 neutropenia occurred only in 6 (17%) patients and anaemia also in 6 (17%) patients, respectively. Nonhematologic adverse reactions were usually mild to moderate; grade 3 toxicities included emesis, diarrhoea and mucositis each in 1 patient (3%). Conclusion: Our data suggest that the combination of docetaxel and oxaliplatin with G-CSF and erythropoietin has a promising therapeutic index in patients with advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

8507 Background: The introduction of immunomodulatory agents, proteasome inhibitors, and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has improved outcomes for patients with multiple myeloma (MM), but those with high risk MM (HRMM) have a poor long-term prognosis. To date, no trials have addressed optimal treatment for these patients. Methods: S1211 is a randomized phase II trial (NCT01668719) comparing 8 cycles of lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (RVd) induction followed by dose-attenuated RVd maintenance until disease progression with or without elotuzumab. Stem cell collection was allowed, but ASCT was deferred until progression. HRMM was defined by one of the following: gene expression profiling high-risk (GEPhi), t(14; 16), t(14; 20), del(17p) or amplification 1q21, primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) and elevated serum LDH (> 2X ULN). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was the primary end-point, using a one-sided stratified log-rank test at a one-sided significance level of 0.1. Secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), adverse events (AE), serious adverse events (SAE) and OS. Response was assessed using the IMWG 2009 criteria. Results: S1211 enrolled 103 evaluable patients, RVd n = 54, RVd-Elo n = 49. 75% had ISS II/III, 47% amp1q21, 38% del17p, 12% t(14; 16), 9% GEPhi, 7% pPCL, 5% t(14; 20) and 4% elevated serum LDH (18.5% > 1 feature). With median follow-up of 53 months (mos.), no difference in median PFS was observed [RVd-Elo = 31 mos., RVd = 34 mos.,HR = 0.968 (80% CI = 0.697-1.344), p = 0.449]. No difference in OS was observed [RVd-Elo = 68 mos, RVd = not reached, HR = 1.279 (80% CI: 0.819, 2.000), p-value = 0.478]. 72% pts had > Grade 3 AEs, no differences in the safety profile were observed except >Grade 3 infections (RVd 8%, RVd-Elo 16%), >Grade 3 sensory neuropathy (RVd 8%, RVd-Elo 13%). Conclusions: In the first randomized HRMM study reported to date, the addition of elotuzumab to RVd induction and maintenance did not improve patient outcomes. However, the PFS and OS seen in both arms of the study exceeded the original statistical assumptions and support the role for PI/IMiD combination maintenance therapy for this patient population. The S1211 data will serve as an important benchmark for future HRMM clinical trials. Clinical trial information: NCT01668719 .
