6022 Background: Dasatinib is a potent inhibitor of src-family kinases, ephA2, PDGFR, Abl, and c-kit. A single-center, open-label, phase II trial was conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of dasatinib in recurrent or metastatic HNSCC. Methods: Pts with measurable disease by RECIST, who received 0 or 1 prior regimen for recurrent or metastatic HNSCC with an ECOG performance status 0–1 and tumor tissue appropriate for IHC and FISH were eligible. Dasatinib 100 mg bid was given for 28-day cycles. Primary endpoints were 12-wk progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR). Pts who took at least 1 dose of dasatinib and who died or left study before 12 wks were counted as progressive disease (PD). A 2 stage design, closure after accrual of 15 pts was required if PFS was 45% or less and ORR was 0. Otherwise, planned accrual was 35. Response was assessed at 4 and 12 wks. PK was studied in pts receiving dasatinib per PEG. Biomarkers relevant to Src pathway were planned in tissue and blood. Results: Fifteen pts were accrued. To date, 13 pts are evaluable for response, and 15 pts for toxicity. No grade 3/4 hematologic toxicities were noted. Grade 2–4 nonhematologic toxicities(n): pleural effusion(2), nausea/vomiting(2), dehydration(1), diarrhea(1), dyspnea(1). Toxicity led to hospitalization of 4 pts and drug discontinuation in 5 pts. ORR was 0. One pt was stable at 12 wks (PFS: 7.6%). This pt stopped drug at 15 wks due to toxicity, but also had PD. One pt died on study and cause was deemed unlikely related. Conclusions: Dosed at 100mg bid, dasatinib led to a characteristic toxicity profile in this pt population. Rates of hospitalization and discontinuation for toxicity were fairly high. Final efficacy parameters are pending evaluation of 2 pts. Evaluation of PK and tissue/blood biomarkers is ongoing. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e15019 Background: Capecitabine (XEL), irinotecan (IRI) and bevacizumab (A) are all active agents in the treatment of mCRC. However, combining these agents has proven to be problematic due to overlapping toxicities. Optimal dosing strategies for this combination remain unclear. This study prospectively evaluated toxicity and efficacy of the XELIRI-A combination with dose modification. Methods: This was a single-institution, open-label phase II clinical trial. Eligible pts include those with previously untreated metastatic CRC, adequate organ function and ECOG performance status 0–2. IRI (200 mg / m2) and A (7.5 mg / kg) were given on day 1, and XEL (1000 mg / m2 p.o. BID) was given on days 1–14 of every 21-day cycle. The dose of XEL was reduced to 750 mg / m2 BID for pts age ≥ 65. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included response rate, time to progression, overall survival and toxicity. Results: 50 pts (ECOG PS 0:1 = 27:23; male:female= 34:16) were enrolled over 19 months. Median age was 58 (range: 35–72). 7 pts had prior adjuvant chemotherapy. A total of 360 cycles were administered, with a median of 6 (range: 1–16). To date, 20 confirmed PR, 3 unconfirmed PR, and 20 SD by RECIST criteria were observed (ORR= 40%, disease control rate 86%). The median PFS was 11.1 months (95% CI: 9.2 months - not reached), and the 1-year progression-free rate was 49%. 7 pts have gone on to have metastatectomy. The most frequently reported related grade 3 or 4 adverse events were neutropenia (6), hand-foot syndrome (6), and diarrhea (5). One death was seen on study, and 1 pt had treatment-emergent grade 3 hypertension. Conclusions: XELIRI-A at doses studied appears to be well- tolerated. Results are favorable compared to those from previous studies. XELIRI-A at reduced doses is safe and effective as first-line treatment for mCRC. [Table: see text]

8558 Background: The anti-CTLA-4 tremelimumab at two different dose-schedules of administration showed promising activity in second-line malignant mesothelioma (MM) patients (Calabrò et al., Lancet Oncol, 2013; Calabrò et al., Lancet Respir Med, 2015). These initial results and the efficacy of targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis in different tumor types, prompted the NIBIT-MESO-1 study aimed at investigating the efficacy and safety of tremelimumab combined with the anti-PD-L1 durvalumab in mm patients. We report the safety analysis from the fully-enrolled NIBIT-MESO-1 study. Methods: The NIBIT-MESO-1 is a phase II, open-label, single Center study. Forty mm patients received tremelimumab at 1 mg/Kg i.v. every 4 weeks (Q4W) for 4 doses, and durvalumab at 20 mg/Kg i.v. Q4W for 13 doses. Primary objective is immune-related (ir)-objective response rate; secondary are safey, ir-disease control rate, ir-progression free survival, and overall survival. Tumor assessment per ir-modified RECIST or ir-RECIST 1.1 for pleural or peritoneal MM, respectively, was performed at baseline and q12 weeks. Adverse events (AEs) were recorded according to CTC v4.0. (ClinicalTrials.gov Id: NCT02588131). Results: From October 2015 to October 2016, 40 mm patients (38 pleural and 2 peritoneal), median age 64 years (range 41-80), ECOG performance status 0 (n = 19) or 1 (n = 21) were enrolled in the study. mm histology was epithelioid (n = 32), biphasic (n = 5), sarcomatoid (n = 2) or undefined (n = 1). As of January 2017, 12 first or 28 second-line mm patients received a median of 5.5 doses of therapy (range = 1-13). Twenty-four patients (60%) experienced any grade irAEs: 5 patients (12.5%) had grade 3-4 AEs, the most frequent being hepatotoxicity (7.5%). AEs were generally manageable and reversible per protocol guidelines. Three patients (7.5%) were discontinued due to treatment-related AEs (1 trombocytopenia, 1 limbic encephalitis, 1 liver toxicity). Conclusions: The combination of tremelimumab and durvalumab is safe and manageable in mm patients. Clinical trial information: NCT02588131.

9000 Background: In the randomized phase 3 CheckMate 9LA trial (NCT03215706), first-line NIVO + IPI combined with 2 cycles of chemo significantly improved overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR) vs chemo alone (4 cycles). Clinical benefit was observed regardless of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression level and histology. Here we report data with 2 years’ minimum follow-up from this study. Methods: Adult patients (pts) with stage IV / recurrent NSCLC, ECOG performance status ≤ 1, and no known sensitizing EGFR/ALK alterations were stratified by PD-L1 (< 1% vs ≥ 1%), sex, and histology (squamous vs non-squamous) and were randomized 1:1 to NIVO 360 mg Q3W + IPI 1 mg/kg Q6W + chemo (2 cycles; n = 361) or chemo alone (4 cycles; n = 358). Pts with non-squamous NSCLC in the chemo-alone arm could receive pemetrexed maintenance. The primary endpoint was OS. Secondary endpoints included PFS and ORR by blinded independent central review, and efficacy by different PD-L1 levels. Safety was exploratory. Results: At a minimum follow-up of 24.4 months for OS (database lock: Feb 18, 2021), pts treated with NIVO + IPI + chemo continued to derive OS benefit vs chemo, with a median OS of 15.8 months vs 11.0 months, respectively (HR, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.61–0.86]); 2-year OS rates were 38% vs 26%. Median PFS with NIVO + IPI + chemo vs chemo was 6.7 months vs 5.3 months (HR, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.56–0.79]); 8% and 37% of pts who had disease progression received subsequent immunotherapy, respectively. ORR was 38% with NIVO + IPI + chemo vs 25% with chemo. Similar clinical benefit with NIVO + IPI + chemo vs chemo was observed in all randomized pts and across the majority of subgroups, including by PD-L1 expression level (Table) or histology. Any grade and grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events were reported in 92% and 48% of pts in the NIVO + IPI + chemo arm vs 88% and 38% in the chemo arm, respectively. Conclusion: With 2 years’ minimum follow-up, first-line NIVO + IPI + chemo demonstrated durable survival and benefit versus chemo in pts with advanced NSCLC; no new safety signals were identified. Clinical trial information: NCT03215706. [Table: see text]

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.

Purpose To evaluate the tolerability and effectiveness of uracil-tegafur (UFT) with leucovorin (LV) in the treatment of elderly patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Patients and Methods Patients ≥ 75 years of age with previously untreated colorectal cancer were eligible for this phase II, single-arm, open-label, multicenter cooperative group clinical trial. UFT 100 mg/m2 plus LV 30 mg orally every 8 hours for 28 days every 35 days was administered until progression. Results Fifty-eight patients were enrolled between June 2000 and July 2001, and 55 were treated. The median age of treated patients was 81 years (range, 75 to 90 years), 26 patients were (47%) women, and 80% had good performance status (0 to 1). The observed overall response rate was 22% (95% CI, 11.8% to 35.0%). The estimated median overall survival time was 13.0 months (95% CI, 9.6 to 17.4 months), and median progression-free survival time was 4.6 months (95% CI, 2.6 to 6.7 months). Among the 56 treated patients (including one ineligible patient), 31 (55%) experienced grade 3 to 4 toxicities, most commonly diarrhea (25%) and GI toxicity (36%), with patients older than 85 years of age at highest risk. Conclusion The results of this trial support the efficacy of oral UFT/LV in elderly patients with colorectal cancer. The regimen is tolerated moderately well overall, particularly as compared with other fluoropyrimidine regimens, although there is increased GI toxicity in the most elderly. These results suggest that studies using newer oral fluoropyrimidine analogs should be investigated in this patient population.

14599 Background: We prospectively conducted a phase II trial to test the efficacy and safety of irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (FOLFIRI) regimens for the first-line treatment of previously untreated patients with recurrent or metastatic advanced CRC. Methods: Thirty-four previously untreated patients with advanced CRC were enrolled in this study from June 2001 to December 2006. Eligible patients had histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma, no prior systemic therapy in palliative setting, ECOG PS = 2, adequate organ function, written informed consent and at least one measurable disease. The patients received either irinotecan 180 mg/m2 on day 1 with a LV bolus of 200 mg/m2 and a FU bolus of 400 mg/m2, and this was followed by a FU continuous infusion of 600 mg/m2 on day 1 and day 2 (the classic FOLFIRI regimen), or they were treated with a LV bolus of 400 mg/m2 and a FU bolus of 400 mg/m2 followed by a FU continuous infusion of 2,400 mg/m2 for 46 hours (the simplified FOLFIRI regimen), and these treatments were repeated every 2 weeks until disease progression. Results: There were 13 females and 21 males with median age of 54 years (range: 41–79). The most common metastatic sites were lung and liver. A total of 262 cycles were administrated with median 6 cycles per patient (range: 1–22). All pts were evaluable for toxicity, and 30 pts for response to the treatment. The objective response rate was 26.4% with 2 complete responses respectively. Sixteen (47%) pts had stable disease and 7 (20.5%) had a progression. The tumor control rate was 73.4%. The median TTP was 5.3 months, and the overall survival was 10.1 months. The prognostic factor for longer TTP and survival was the ECOG performance status (PS). The type of regimens was not affected on response rate, TTP and survival. The chemotherapy was generally well tolerated and the most common grade 3–4 toxicities were neutropenia, diarrhea. The non- hematological toxicities were similar for both treatment groups, with more frequent grade =3 neutropenia being noted for the simplified FOLFIRI regimen. Conclusions: The FOLFIRI regimen was demonstrated to have a moderate antitumor activity with acceptable toxicity profiles, and tend to show more favorable outcome for patients with good ECOG PS. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

5576 Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) overexpression in EC correlates with poor outcome, thus targeting VEGF is a rational therapeutic approach. We have conducted a two-stage open-label phase II study in advanced EC with sunitinib, an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor of multiple VEGF receptors. Methods: Eligible pts have recurrent or metastatic EC and have received up to 1 prior chemotherapy (CT) regimen for metastatic disease. Sunitinib is given at 50 mg daily (OD) for 4 consecutive weeks (wks) followed by 2 wks off. Dose could be reduced to 37.5 mg OD and then 25 mg OD in the setting of toxicity. Imaging is repeated every 12 wks. Primary objectives are objective response rate (ORR by RECIST) and rate of 6-month progression-free survival (PFS). If 1 or more responses occur in the first 15 evaluable pts, the study would continue to a second stage (total = 30 pts). Secondary objectives are time to progression (TTP), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results: We report the results of the first stage of this study. Sixteen pts have been treated (median age: 63; range 41–74) with 37 cycles of sunitinib (median 2; range: 1–7). Baseline ECOG PS was 0 (7 pts), 1 (8 pts), or 2 (1 pt). Histology was endometrioid (7 pts), serous (5 pts), clear cell (1 pt), or mixed/other (3 pts). Most pts had high-grade histology (G3: 8; G2: 4; G1: 2; GX: 2). Nine pts had prior adjuvant CT, 8 pts had 1 prior CT for advanced EC, 4 pts had prior hormones and 7 pts had prior radiotherapy. Partial response was achieved by 2 pts (ORR = 12.5%), and 2 other pts had a best response of stable disease; 3 of these pts remained progression-free > 6 months. Median TTP = 2.5 months (95% CI: 2.47-NR), and median OS = 6.2 months (95% CI: 5.1-NR). Grade 3/4 adverse events (AE) in >10% of pts were fatigue (7 pts, 44%) and hypertension (5 pts, 31%). Dose reduction was required for 11 of 16 pts (69%). Two pts were inevaluable after receiving <2 cycles due to AE (grade 4 hyponatremia; grade 3 fatigue) and 1 other pt has yet to complete 2 cycles. Conclusions: Sunitinib shows preliminary activity in EC. This trial will proceed to a second stage of accrual to further explore the efficacy and safety of sunitinib in advanced EC.

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.

TPS3635^ Background: The identification of prognostic and predictive biomarkers could significantly improve the risk-benefit ratio and cost-effectiveness of 1st-line mCRC regimens. This is the first prospective study of tumoral ERCC1 (chemo-resistance marker to platinum compounds) and plasma VEGF-A as potential biomarkers for oxaliplatin- and BV-containing regimens, respectively, in an effort to further define the optimal chemotherapy backbone with biologic therapies, including BV, for mCRC. Methods: In this randomized, open-label, global, phase II study, patients (N=360) with histologically or cytologically confirmed CRC and ≥1 measurable metastatic lesion are stratified at screening by tumoral ERCC1 mRNA expression (high vs low, cutoff of 1.7 [ERCC1/β-actin mRNA]). Eligibility criteria include completion of adjuvant therapy >12 months before screening and an ECOG performance status ≤1. Blood samples are collected to quantify plasma VEGF-A levels. Patients within each ERCC1 stratification group are randomized 1:1 to mFOLFOX6-BV or FOLFIRI-BV administered in 2-week cycles. BV will be given at a dose of 5 mg/kg IV q2w. Patients will remain on study treatment until disease progression (PD) or unacceptable toxicity. If oxaliplatin or irinotecan need to be discontinued, BV and 5-fluorouracil or capecitabine are to be continued until PD. The primary objectives are: 1) to assess ERCC1 and VEGF-A as biomarkers of progression-free survival (PFS) for oxaliplatin- and BV-containing regimens in 1st-line mCRC, and 2) within ERCC1 high patients, to test whether FOLFIRI-BV is associated with a prolonged 1st-line PFS compared to mFOLFOX6-BV. Secondary objectives include assessing the impact of these markers on overall survival, objective response, hepatic metastases resection, and safety. Exploratory endpoints include correlative analyses with additional tumor tissue, blood, and SNP markers. The first patient was enrolled in August 2011. An interim biomarker distribution assessment of the first 100 patients is planned, and the evaluation of the primary endpoints is estimated for early 2015. Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01374425.

4506 Background: Sunitinib (S) is established as a standard first-line therapy for patients (pts) with advanced RCC. However, treatment can be limited by the occurrence of drug-related adverse events (AEs). This Phase II study assessed the efficacy and safety of nintedanib (N) – a potent, triple angiokinase inhibitor of VEGFR-1–3, PDGFR-α/β, and FGFR-1–3, as well as RET and Flt3 – vs S in previously untreated pts with RCC. Methods: Ninety-nine eligible pts (96 of whom were treated) with advanced, unresectable/recurrent clear cell RCC, an ECOG performance status of 0–1, and no prior systemic therapy were randomized 2:1 to receive N 200 mg twice daily (n=64; given in 4-week cycles) or S 50 mg once daily (n=32; 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off schedule). Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable drug-related AEs. Primary endpoints were progression-free survival at 9 months (PFS-9) and, in N-treated pts only, QTc interval change (baseline to day 15). Secondary endpoints included PFS, objective response rate (ORR; RECIST 1.1), overall survival (OS), time to progression (TTP), time to treatment failure (TTF), and AEs. Results: Baseline characteristics were balanced between the arms. PFS-9 was not statistically significantly different between N- and S-treated pts (43 vs 45%; p=0.85). There were also no statistically significant differences between N and S with regard to PFS (median: 8.44 vs 8.38 mo; hazard ratio: 1.16; 95% CI: 0.71–1.89; p=0.56), confirmed ORR (18.8 vs 31.3%; p=0.19), OS (median: 20.37 vs 21.22 mo; p=0.63), TTP (median: 8.48 vs 8.54 mo; p=0.52), and TTF (median: 8.41 vs 8.36 mo; p=0.46). Grade ≥3 AEs occurred in 47% of N-treated pts and 56% of S-treated pts. Common AEs (all grades; N vs S) included diarrhea (61 vs 50%), nausea (38 vs 34%), fatigue (both 25%), and vomiting (16 vs 22%). Dermatologic AEs (8 vs 47%) were less frequent with N than S. There was no increase from baseline in QTc >60 ms on days 1 or 15 in N-treated pts, and there was no relationship between N exposure and QT interval change. Conclusions: N demonstrated similar efficacy to S and had a manageable safety profile, including a lower incidence of dermatologic AEs vs S. In addition, N was not associated with QT prolongation.
