7557 Background: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is standard treatment for stage III NSCLC, although the management of resectable patients (pts) remains controversial. We report an open-label phase I/II trial of the epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor E added to perioperative CRT for resectable stage III NSCLC pts, followed by maintenance (m) E. Methods: Eligible pts had stage IIIA/B NSCLC, PS 0–1, and were resectable as determined by a thoracic surgeon. Pts received weekly P (50 mg/m2), and C (AUC 2) with daily oral E for 28 days concurrent with twice daily thoracic radiation (1.5 Gy/fraction) to 30 Gy, followed by restaging. Non-progressors underwent resection followed by the same CRT regimen and 2 years of mE (150mg). The primary endpoint of the phase I portion was the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of E given with CRT; and for the phase II was safety and tolerability. Secondary endpoints were pathologic complete response (pCR) rate, pathologic downstaging of mediastinal nodes, progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: 9 pts were enrolled in the phase I trial. The MTD of E was150mg, which was the phase II dose used. 25 pts were treated in the phase II component: median age 60, 92% stage IIIA, 64% female, 72% PS 0, 64% adenocarcinoma, and 16% never smokers. The median duration of mE was 5.5 months, with the most common reason for discontinuation being pt preference. There was no grade 4 toxicity. Grade 3 toxicity seen in >5% of pts: rash (12%), diarrhea (9%), nausea (9%), and encephalopathy (6%). The most common toxicities during mE: grade 1/2 diarrhea (72%), rash (61%), fatigue (56%), nausea (22%), and dry eyes (17%).1 pt (4%) had a pCR after neoadjuvant CRT, and 46% were downstaged to pN0–1 at surgery. At a median follow-up of 36.5 mos the median PFS is 41.8 mos (95% CI 9.3-not yet reached). The median OS has not been reached. 3 year survival is 69%. Pts downstaged to pN0–1 vs those with persistent pN2–3 had a median PFS of 41.8 vs 18.1 mos (p=0.11). Conclusions: Perioperative P, C, and E given concurrently with HFRT was well tolerated and showed promising efficacy, while compliance was poor with maintenance E. [Table: see text]

18165 Background: The safety of 3-dimensional (3D) conformal thoracic radiation delivered with concurrent gefitinib/docetaxel chemotherapy in patients with inoperable stage III NSCLC has not been evaluated. Methods: Patients with inoperable stage III NSCLC received weekly intravenous (i.v.) docetaxel starting at a dose of 15 mg/m2 escalating to 30 mg/m2 in 5 mg/m2 increments and daily gefitinib (250 mg given orally). Patients recieved concurrent thoracic radiation to a dose of 70 Gy utilizing 3-D techniques. The chemoradiation therapy was followed by 2 cycles of consolidative docetaxel (75 mg/m2) given q 21 days and gefitinib 250 mg p.o. for 1 year or until disease progression. Results: Beginning December 2003, 15 patients have been entered to date to this IRB approved phase I trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose of weekly docetaxel when given concurrent with gefitinib and thoracic radiation. The dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) observed were primarily non-hematologic and occured at dose level 3 (25 mg/m2). One patient experienced grade III esophagitis that resulted in a grade III dehydration, a second patient experienced grade III diarrhea while a third patient suffered a grade V interstitial pneumonitis, believed to be related to the gefinitib. While 14 of 15 patients completed the chemoradiation portion of the study and 2 patients completed all planned therapy, 4 patients progressed during therapy, 3 patients discontinued treatment due to toxicity, and 2 patients refused to continue treatment. The median and 1-year survival thus far is 21 months and 56%, respectively. Conclusions: 70 Gy conformal thoracic radiation and concurrent gefitinib/docetaxel thus far appears feasible but with modest toxicity. The study is currently enrolling patients at the weekly 20 mg/m2 docetaxel dose level concurrent with 250 mg of daily gefitinib. This study was supported in-part by Sanofi-Aventis and Astra Zeneca.

18201 Background: Based on the several clinical trials, combined modality therapy became the standard of care for patients with stage III NSCLC “unresectable” with good performance status (Kathy S. Albain, Educational Book ASCO 2006, 453–461; Thomas E. Stinchcombe, Oncologist 2006, 11, 809–823). The most effective induction chemotherapy has yet to be determined. The objective of this prospective phase I study was to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and to evaluate the activity and safety of one of the third generation triplets as a full dose neoadjuvant regimen in patients (pts) with unresectable Stage III NSCLC. Methods: In this study, chemotherapy-naïve pts with stage IIIA-N2 bulky and IIIB (except malignant pleural effusion) NSCLC were eligible. Inclusion into the trial and treatment decisions were done by multidisciplinary panel involving surgeons, medical oncologists and radiotherapists. All drugs were given intravenously on days 1 and 8, and repeated every 3 weeks up to 2 cycles followed by concurrent chemoradiation. D (30–35 mg/m2) was given first, followed by C (35 mg/m2) and G (1000 mg/m2). Results: From Jan ‘06 to Jul ‘06 twelve eligible pts were enrolled, 10/2 m/f gender; median age 63 (50–72), 1 patient with ECOG PS 0, 11 pts with PS 1; 5 pts with stage IIIA-N2 bulky, 7 pts with stage IIIB NSCLC; nine pts were smokers. All pts were evaluable for toxicity. Toxicity grade 3–4 by CTC criteria was: grade 3 neutropenia in 2/3 patients and grade 3 thrombocytopenia in 1/3 patients on the second dose level of chemotherapy (i.e. docetaxel 35 mg/m2), and was considered dose-limiting. Of 9 pts treated at the MTD (i.e. docetaxel 30 mg/m2), only 1 patient developed grade 4 neutropenia and 1 patient grade 3 thrombocytopenia; 3 patients (30%) had grade 2 neutropenia and grade 2 stomatitis. Of 12 evaluable pts for response, after induction chemotherapy eighty-three percent of patients (9/12 pts) had an objective response and 16,6% (2/9 pts) stable disease. Phase II is continuing for larger patient accrual. Conclusions: The recommended doses for further phase II studies are D (30 mg/m2) followed by C (35 mg/m2) and G (1000 mg/m2) every 3 weeks. This regimen is well tolerated and effective, and appears to be an excellent choice for stage III NSCLC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

7188 Background: Concurrent CRT improves outcomes for pts with unresectable stage III NSCLC compared with radiation (RT) alone. The EGFR inhibitor G benefits select pts with advanced NSCLC. This multicenter community phase II trial examined the role of CRT followed by G for pts with unresectable stage III NSCLC. Methods: Theprimary endpoint was 2-year overall survival (OS) in pts with unresectable stage IIIA/B NSCLC (effusions, N3 mediastinal nodes >4 cm excluded) treated with CRT followed by G. Induction(I) treatment (tx): docetaxel (D) 40 mg/m2 IV and gemcitabine 800 mg/m2 IV D1, 8 Q 21D × 3 cycles. Pts without progressive disease (PD) began: D 20 mg/m2 IV and carboplatin (C) AUC = 1.5 IV weekly × 6 and RT 61.2 Gy, 1.8-Gy M-F weekly × 7 (starting 1 week prior to D/C). If no PD, pts received G 250 mg PO daily × 2 years or until PD. Eligibility:measurable disease, ECOG PS 0–1, informed consent. Intent to treat analysis. Results: One-hundred three pts were enrolled from 7/03 to 4/05. Baseline features: medianage 60 years (37–79); male/female 54%/46%; ECOG PS 0/1:26%/74%; adenocarcinoma (26%), squamous (32%), large cell (28%), mixed/not specified (14%); IIIA/B (46%/54%). Grade 3/4 toxicities were limited to ≤ 8% except for neutropenia (17%, during I) - with notx-related deaths. Complete/partial responses after I were seen in 1 pt/34 pts, respectively, for an overall response rate (RR) of 34% (95% CI 26%-44%). Forty-two pts (41%) had stable disease (SD) and 12% had PD (9 pts were unevaluable.) Seventy-four pts (72%) received D/C/RT which resulted in an overall RR of 44% (95% CI 35%-54%). Fifteen percent had SD. Fifty-six pts (54%) received G for a median of 28 weeks (1–107). Median PFS and OS are 9.9 and 15 months, respectively. After a median follow-up of 19 months, actuarial 1- and 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) is 41% and 12%, respectively. 1- and 2-year OS rates are 64% and 21%, respectively. Subset analyses by smoking, gender, histology, and stage are in progress. Conclusions: Maintenance G following CRT in unresectable NSCLC does not appear to improve survival. It is possible that further analysis may suggest a role for G in selected pts. [Table: see text]

18050 Background: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy treatment is standard of care for patients with stage III NSCLC in good performance. Optimal chemotherapy have yet to be defined and the role of surgery is still unclear. This prospective phase II study analysed the feasibility and efficacy of weekly docetaxel/cisplatin (DC) and concurrent involved-field thoracic radiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery in good performance status patients with stage IIIA/B NSCLC. Primary endpoint is radiological response of DC and CRT. Secondary endpoints included toxicity, efficacy of surgery, postoperative morbidity and mortality, time to progression and overall survival. Methods: DC consisted of IV docetaxel 20 mg/m2 and cisplatin 20mg/m2 at days 1,8,15,22,29 and 36. CRT was given in once-daily fractions of 1.8 Gy, 5 fractions a week to a total dose of 45 Gy during days 8 to 36. CT-based planning was used to minimise radiation to the contralateral lung. Invasive and non-invasive investigations were performed after induction treatment in order to restage the mediastinum. when mediastinal downstaging was achieved, surgery was performed in order to achieve radical resection. Results: Between January 2005 until August 2006, 45 patients were included, of whom 43 patients were evaluable. Stage IIIB disease was present in 18 patients (cT4N2=9, cT4N0/N1=5 and cN3=4) and 25 had stage IIIA-N2 disease. Radiologic response was seen in 20 patients (47%) and 8 (19%) showed progressive disease. Toxicity was mild. Explorative thoracotomy was performed in 24 (56%) patients. Of these, 14 were initially staged as IIIA and ten as stage IIIB (4 of whom had N3 metastases). Twenty patients (47%) underwent a radical resection without residual mediastinal malignant disease, and ten pneumonectomies (8 left sided) were performed. Three patients showed complete pathological response. The 30 days mortality after operation was 4% (one patient) due to ARDS. Conclusions: Weekly DC and CRT is possible in stage III NSCLC, with limited toxicity and nearly half of the treated patients (47%) could undergo a radical surgical resection (R0) without residual mediastinal malignant disease. This promising tri-modality regimen should be tested in future phase II or III trials. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

18070 Background: Although combined chemoradiotherapy is the standard of care in stage III NSCLC, the optimal chemotherapy regimen is not established. S-1, a fourth-generation oral fluoropyrimidine is an active new agent for NSCLC and the combination with cisplatin has a favorable toxicity profile. The objective of this study was to evaluate feasibility and efficacy of S plus P with concurrent radiation for unresectable stage III NSCLC. Methods: Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC, 20 to 75 years in age, performance status 0–1, with no prior chemotherapy were eligible for the study. Patients were treated with P (60 mg/m2 on day 1) and S (orally at 40 mg/m2/dose bid (80 mg/m2/d), on days 1 to 14) repeated every 3–4 weeks for 4 cycles and TRT (60 Gy/30 fr over 6 weeks starting on day 2). The primary endpoint was the response rate (RR), and planned sample size for this phase II study was 28 patients (Simon’s two-stage minimax design, P0=70%, P1=90%, a =0.1, β = 0.1). Results: Of 28 patients enrolled between August 2005 and October 2006, 28 were evaluable. There were 24 males and 4 females, median age of 63 (range 40–74) and 11 IIIA and 17 IIIB. Chemoradiotherapy was well tolerated; 2 cycles of SP and 60 Gy of TRT were administered in all patients and 24 (86%) patients received 4 cycles of SP. During concurrent chemoradiotherapy, grade 3 toxicities were neutropenia (8 pts), leukopenia (6 pts), fatigue (6 pts), anorexia (5 pts), febrile neutropenia (4 pts) and, esophagitis (4 pts). Only one grade 4 leukopenia were observed. During consolidation therapy, grade 3–4 neutropenia, anemia, esophagitis, and pneumonitis were developed in 4, 1, 1 and 2 patients, respectively. No toxic deaths have occurred. Overall RR was 85.7% (95% CI: 79.1- 98.7%) with 4 SDs and 24 PRs. The median progression-free survival and median survival is not mature enough to estimate as only 4 progression and no deaths have occurred. Conclusions: This chemoradiotherapy regimen produced promising response rate in patients with stage III NSCLC and it seems to be well-tolerated. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

TPS8115 Background: Despite novel therapies, MM remains an incurable disease. Changes in histone modification are commonly found in human cancers including MM. Preclinical studies demonstrate synergistic anti-MM activity with histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) and proteasome inhibitors (PI) through the dual inhibition of the proteasome and aggresome pathways. Pan is an oral pan-HDACi which has shown synergy with bortezomib in clinical studies. Cfz is a 2nd generation PI which has shown marked anti-MM activity with an improved safety profile. In this trial we evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of pan and cfz in pts with RR MM. Methods: This multi-center US study plans to enroll up to 52 adults with RR MM. The phase I study will determine the MTD of the combination of cfz and pan and follow a standard dose escalation design. Pan will be administered orally three times weekly during weeks 1 and 3 of each 28-day cycle (Days 1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 19) at a starting dose of 20 mg. Cfz will be administered intravenously on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of each 28-day cycle. Cfz starting dose will be 20mg on days 1,2 of cycle 1 with escalation to the corresponding dose level beginning at 27 mg , if well tolerated. Dose modifications will not be permitted during cycle 1 unless a pt experiences a DLT. A maximum of four dose levels will be evaluated. Approximately 24 pts will be enrolled during the phase I portion to establish the MTD. In the phase II portion of this study, pts with RR MM will receive treatment with the optimal dose of pan and cfz established during phase I. Pts will be assessed for response to treatment after each cycle (4 weeks). Pts with objective response or stable disease will continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. The primary endpoint is to establish the optimal doses of cfz and pan that can be administered to pts with RR MM (phase I) and to evaluate the overall response rate (phase II). Secondary endpoints include time-to-progression, progression-free survival, overall survival and safety. Approximately 25 pts are planned for the phase II portion. Current status: As of 1/27/12 3 patients have been enrolled.

500 Background: NEO-102 is a novel chimeric mAb targeting a variant of MUC5AC with specificity to colorectal cancer. Its mechanism of action is through antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). An earlier, phase I study, established the maximum tolerated dose at 3.0 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks with encouraging early signs of clinical activity. We report initial results of the subsequent phase II study. Methods: This is a single arm, open label multi-center clinical trial of NEO-102 in adults with mCRC pts who failed at least two lines of standard chemotherapy (C). An immunohistochemistry (IHC) based companion diagnostic assay was used to select eligible pts whose tumors express the target in > 20% of tumor cells. NEO-102 at 3.0 mg/kg IV was administered q 2 weeks until disease progression. The primary endpoint was OS. A minimum of 43 pts were needed assuming that treatment with NEO-102 will improve OS by 40% (7.0 months) using a one-sided significance level of 10% and 80% power for this study compared to historical control of 5 months. Additional objectives were to evaluate response rate as measured by RECIST criteria and analyze patient PBMCs for ADCC and immune cytokine profiling. Results: A total of 47 pts enrolled were evaluable. 26 pts were male and 35 pts were white. Twenty-four out of 47 pts (51%) remain alive as of September 2015 with an ongoing median OS of 7.0 months (Range 2-22 months). Of these heavily pre-treated pts, 42 were evaluable for response, 13 (31%) demonstrated stable disease by RECIST. Seven pts had more than 4 doses of treatment, maximum 13 doses. Grade 3 adverse events were anemia 1/47 (2%), hyperbilirubinemia 1/47 (2%), diarrhea 1/47 (2%), fatigue 1/47 (2%), headache 1/47 (2%), nausea 1/47 (2%) and vomiting 1/47 (2%). No grade 4 toxicities were reported. Conclusions: In the monotherapy phase 2 study of NEO 102 in patients with refractory mCRC preliminary results demonstrate excellent tolerability and encouraging OS. Updated OS and Progression Free Survival data will be presented at the ASCO 2016 GI Cancers symposium. Additional combination trials with NEO-102 and C are underway.

351 Background: FOLFIRINOX is an approved regimen for metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC). We performed a modification in FOLFIRINOX schedule, using nab-paclitaxel (nab-p) to obtain two regimens that could be as effective and less toxic than the original triplet. NabucCO study was a randomized phase II trial to assess activity and toxicity of nab-p instead of either oxaliplatin (Nab-FOLFIRI) or irinotecan (Nab-FOLFOX) in first line setting. Previous dose–finding NabucCO study defined that maximum tolerated dose of nab-p with FOLFIRI is 120 mg/m2, and with FOLFOX is 160 mg/m2. Methods: The study was a 1:1 parallel arm, open label, not comparative one to assess overall response rate (ORR) of Nab-FOLFIRI and Nab-FOLFOX as primary end-point. Patients (pts) with PS 0-1, untreated for mPC were randomized to receive leucovorin 400 mg/m2, 5FU bolus 400 mg/m2, 5FU 48h ci 2400 mg/m2, irinotecan 180 mg/m2 plus nab-p 120 mg/m2 (arm A) or leucovorin 400 mg/m2, 5FU bolus 400 mg/m2, 5FU 48h ci 2400 mg/m2 and oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 iv plus nab-p 160 mg/m2 (arm B) every 2 weeks for up to 12 cycles. Secondary end points were clinical benefit rate (CBR), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results: From November 2015 to January 2017, 84 pts were treated (42 for each arm). Median age was 60 years (29-65) in arm A and 64 years (47-64) in arm B. The ORR was 31 % for both schedules, with a CBR of 69% and 71%, respectively. At a median follow-up of 11.4 months for arm A and 14.5 months for arm B (censored on august, 31th 2017), 1-year survival is 41% and 50%, respectively. For Nab-FOLFIRI PFS and mOS were 6 months (90% CI: 4.9-8.0) and 13.2 months (90% CI: 8.3-14.8), while in Nab-FOLFOX were 5.6 months (90% CI:4.9-7.2) and 10.8 months (90% CI: 8.4-12.8). Grade ≥3 toxicities in arm A were neutropenia (19%) and febrile neutropenia (12%). In arm B, main grade ≥3 toxicities were neutropenia (29%), fatigue (14%), peripheral neuropathy (7%). No toxic death were registered. Conclusions: Nab-FOLFIRI and Nab–FOLFOX demonstrated a similar activity to FOLFIRINOX, with better safety profile in terms of neutropenia, fatigue and neuropathy. These results could justify a future phase III evaluation. Clinical trial information: NCT02109341.

Purpose To determine the dose of cetuximab that can be safely combined with irinotecan for treatment of pediatric and adolescent patients with refractory solid tumors. Patients and Methods This open-label, phase I study enrolled patients ages 1 to 18 years with advanced refractory solid tumors, including tumors of the CNS. Patient cohorts by age group (children, ages 1 to 12 years; adolescents, ages 13 to 18 years) received escalating weekly doses of cetuximab (75, 150, 250 mg/m2) in a 3 + 3 design, plus irinotecan (16 or 20 mg/m2/d) for 5 days for 2 consecutive weeks every 21 days. The primary end points were establishing the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), recommended phase II dose (RPIID), and pharmacokinetics of the combination. Preliminary safety and efficacy data were also collected. Results Twenty-seven children and 19 adolescents received a median of 7.1 and 6.0 weeks of cetuximab therapy, respectively. Cetuximab 250 mg/m2 weekly plus irinotecan 16 mg/m2/d (pediatric) or 20 mg/m2/d (adolescent) have been established as the MTD/RPIID. Dose-limiting toxicities included diarrhea and neutropenia. Mild to moderate (grade 1 to 2) acneiform rash occurred in a majority of patients; no grade 3 to 4 rashes were observed. Cetuximab demonstrated dose-dependent clearance in both children and adolescents, similar to that in adults. There were two confirmed partial responses, both in patients with CNS tumors. Stable disease was achieved in 18 patients overall, including 10 patients with CNS tumors (38.5%). Conclusion The cetuximab/irinotecan combination can be given safely to children and adolescents with cancer. Promising activity, particularly in CNS tumors, warrants phase II evaluation of this regimen.

AbstractWT2725 is a Wilms’ tumor gene 1 (WT1)-derived-oligopeptide vaccine designed to induce WT1-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes against WT1+ tumors in human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*0201+ and/or HLA-A*0206+ patients. Here, we report the results of a phase I study of WT2725. In this phase I, open-label, dose-escalation and expansion two-part study, the WT2725 dosing emulsion was administered as a monotherapy to patients with advanced malignancies known to overexpress WT1, including glioblastoma. In part 1, 44 patients were sequentially allocated to four doses: 0.3 mg (n = 5), 0.9 mg (n = 5), 3 mg (n = 6), and 9 mg (n = 28). In part 2, 18 patients were allocated to two doses: 18 mg (n = 9) and 27 mg (n = 9). No dose-limiting toxicities were observed, so the maximum tolerated dose was not reached. Median progression-free survival was 58 (95% confidence interval [CI] 56–81) days (~ 2 months) across all patients with solid tumors; median overall survival was 394 days (13.0 months) (95% CI 309–648). Overall immune-related response rate in solid tumor patients was 7.5% (95% CI 2.6–19.9); response was most prominent in the glioblastoma subgroup. Overall, 62.3% of patients were considered cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responders; the proportion increased with increasing WT2725 dosing emulsion dose. WT2725 dosing emulsion was well tolerated. Preliminary tumor response and biological marker data suggest that WT2725 dosing emulsion may exert antitumor activity in malignancies known to overexpress the WT1 protein, particularly glioblastoma, and provide a rationale for future clinical development.Trial registration: NCT01621542.
