e19006 Background: Pts who respond to the EGFR- tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI's) frequently have activating mutations in the kinase domain of EGFR or EGFR overexpression. EGFR activating mutations correlate with adenocarcinoma histology, non-smoking history, female gender, and Asian ethnicity. The presence of EGFR kinase domain mutations is predictive of response but, the relationship is not always concordant. Furthermore, mutations may not predict survival benefit with TKI therapy and other factors are likely involved. It has also been determined that EGFR and met can crosstalk, and serve as potential mechanism of resistance in NSCLC. Most data collected to date on response and overall survival with EGFR-TKI's have been in the Caucasian or Asian community. Hence we collected data specific to the AA pt as they tend to have worse outcomes stage for stage. The purpose of this study is to report the response rate, overall survival, progression free survival (PFS) and clinical characteristics of AA pts with NSCLC treated with an EGFR-TKI. We will correlate these data with EGFR mutation and c-Met expression/mutations/amplifications for markers of NSCLC. Methods: We have listed patients with NSCLC receiving E therapy over the past 5 years. We then retrospectively collected demographic data (age, race, sex, and tobacco history), tumor histology, response rates, survival data and duration of response from AA pts treated with E as single agent. The response to E was correlated with outcome. Results: Data from 44 AA pts (27 women, 17 men) on erlotinib were reviewed. Mean age was 67.1 years (range 48–89 yrs), tobacco use (37 positive, 3 negative, and 4 not recorded). Histology included NSCLC not specified-14, squamous cell- 16, adenocarcinoma-11, large cell-1 and 2 not available. Overall response rate of 13.6% (6-PR, 16-SD, 18-progessive disease, and 4 patients lost to follow up). The PFS was 4.0 months; 95% CI: (2.5–6.6 mos) and overall survival 8.6 mos; 95% CI: (7.2–30.9 mos). EGFR mutations and c-Met analysis will be provided by ASCO meeting in May 2009. Conclusions: AA survival and response rates appear similar to previous data seen with all NSCLC patients receiving treatment with EGFR-TKI's. More data and relationship to biomarkers is needed in this population. [Table: see text]

Abstract Introduction: Gene expression profiling has consistently identified three molecular subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma that have prognostic implications. To facilitate stratification of patients with this disease into similar molecular subtypes, we developed and validated a simple, mutually exclusive classification. Methods: Mutational status of EGFR, KRAS, and TP53 was used to define six mutually exclusive molecular subtypes. A development cohort of 283 cytology specimens of lung adenocarcinoma was used to evaluate the associations between the proposed classification and clinicopathologic variables including demographic characteristics, smoking history, fluorescence in situ hybridization and molecular results. For validation and prognostic assessment, 63 of the 283 cytology specimens with available survival data were combined with a separate cohort of 428 surgical pathology specimens of lung adenocarcinoma. Results: The proposed classification yielded significant associations between these molecular subtypes and clinical and prognostic features. We found better overall survival in patients who underwent surgery and had tumors enriched for EGFR mutations. Worse overall survival was associated with older age, stage IV disease, and tumors with co- mutations in KRAS and TP53. Interestingly, neither chemotherapy nor radiation therapy showed benefit to overall survival. Conclusions: The mutational status of EGFR, KRAS, and TP53 can be used to easily classify lung adenocarcinoma patients into six subtypes that show a relationship with prognosis, especially in patients who underwent surgery, and these subtypes are similar to classifications based on more complex genomic methods reported previously.

7591 Background: Erlotinib is associated with a survival benefit over placebo for pts with advanced NSCLC who had received 1–2 prior regimens. Its role as initial therapy in clinically defined subgroups or in pts prospectively tested for EGFR mutations is less clear. Methods: Chemotherapy-naive women with adenocarcinoma, stage IIIB/IV, PS 0–1, who had formerly or never smoked, were enrolled and treated with erlotinib 150 mg PO daily, until the time of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Response rate was the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, progression-free survival and toxicity. Tumor tissue adequate for genomic analysis was mandated and prospectively collected for determination of EGFR and KRAS mutations by direct sequencing. Results: From 11/04 to 10/06, 40 women were treated. Demographics: median age 65 yrs (range 36–87); 38 white, 1 black, 1 Asian; 30% PS 0, 70% PS 1; 20% BAC or adenoCA w/ predominant BAC features, 80% adenoCA w/o BAC features; smoking status: 63% former, 37% never. Toxicity: Rash (95%; 30% grade 3) and diarrhea (73%; 10% grade 3) were the most common toxicities. 50% of pts developed toxicity of grade 3 or greater. 5 pts were discontinued due to toxicity, with 2 deaths that were possibly treatment-related: 1 DIC, 1 hepatic failure. There were also two pts with PE (one fatal). Response: CR 0, PR 12 (30%), SD 11 (28%), and PD 10 (25%), 7 not evaluable. To date, 27 patients have progressed, with 14 deaths. Median PFS was 5.6 months; median overall survival has not yet been reached and exceeds 23 months. Of 32 patients sequenced for EGFR to date, there were 9 exon 19 deletions, 3 L858R mutations, and 1 exon 20 insertion. For the 12 pts prospectively determined to have classic EGFR mutations, RR was 75% (9 PR, 2 SD, 1 not evaluable). Of 15 pts w/ wild-type EGFR, only 1 response (7%) was achieved. The pt w/ the exon 20 insertion developed PD. Of 28 pts evaluated to date for KRAS, 6 KRAS mutations were found, w/ no responses in this group (2 PD, 4 SD). Conclusions: Preliminary results suggest that first-line erlotinib monotherapy may be a useful treatment strategy for women with adenocarcinoma and a limited smoking history. Response rate is particularly impressive for those subjects prospectively found to have an EGFR mutation, and poor for those with KRAS mutations. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e18004 Background: Anti-PD1 checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) represent an established standard of care for patients with recurrent/metastatic head & neck squamous cell carcinoma (RMHNSCC). Landmark studies excluded patients with ECOG performance status (PS) ≥ 2; the benefit of ICI in this population is therefore unknown. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed RMHNSCC patients who received at least 1 dose of ICI at our institution. Demographic data and clinical outcomes were obtained; the latter included objective response to ICI (ORR), physician-documented CTCAE grade 2+ toxicity (irAE), and any unplanned hospitalization within 100-days of last ICI dose (UH). Associations between demographic data and clinical outcomes were explored using both uni- and multivariate analysis. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using a Cox proportional hazards model; ORR, irAE, and UH were evaluated with logistic regression. This project was approved by our institutional IRB. Results: We identified 152 RMHNSCC patients who were treated with ICI between 1/2013 and 1/2019. ECOG PS was 0 in 42 (27%), 1 in 75 (50%), 2 in 27 (18%), 3 in 2 (1%), and unknown in 6 (4%) patients. The median age was 61 (range: 25 - 90). 124 (82%) were male, 124 (82%) were white, and 69 (45%) were never-smokers. The most common primary sites were the oropharynx (n = 59, 40%), oral cavity (n = 39, 26%), nasopharynx (n = 11, 7%), and larynx (n = 10, 6%). 54 (36%) were p16+ oropharynx cancers. CPS score was available in 10 (6.6%). Single agent ICI was received by 118 (77%) patients. 66 (44%) had a documented irAE and 54 (36%) had an UH. A multivariate model for OS containing PS, smoking status and HPV status showed a strong association between inferior OS and ECOG 2/3 compared to 0/1 (p < 0.001; HR = 3.30, CI = 2.01-5.41), as well as former (vs. never) smoking status (p < 0.001; HR = 2.17, CI = 1.41-3.35). Current smoking (p = 0.25) did not reach statistical significance. On univariate analysis, poor PS was associated with inferior ORR (p = 0.03; OR = 0.25, CI = 0.06-0.77) and increased UH (p = 0.04; OR = 2.43, CI = 1.05—5.71). There was no significant association between irAE and any patient characteristic. Conclusions: We observed inferior overall survival among ICI-treated RMHNSCC patients with ECOG 2/3 in our single-institution, retrospective series. Our findings help frame discussion of therapeutic options in this poor-risk population. Further study must be done to determine which interventions are of greatest benefit for RMHNSCC patients with declining performance status.

Abstract Background Second-generation FLT3-inhibitors (FLT3i) demonstrated single-agent composite CR rates (CRc) of 45–55% in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) FLT3-mutated AML in phase II/III trials. However, > 85% of patients treated were prior FLT3i naïve. The response rates to sequential FLT3i exposure remain poorly defined. Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients with FLT3-mutated AML between November 2006 and December 2019. Results In frontline patients treated with a FLT3i (cohort 1), the CRc rates and median overall survival (OS) with the first (n = 56), second (n = 32), and third FLT3i-based (n = 8) therapy were 77%, 31%, and 25%, and 16.7 months, 6.0 months, and 1.4 months, respectively. In patients receiving a FLT3i-based therapy for the first time in a R/R AML setting (cohort 2), the CRc rates and median OS were 45%, 21%, and 10%, and 7.9 months, 4.0 months, and 4.1 months with the first (n = 183), second (n = 89), and third/fourth (n = 29) FLT3i-based therapy, respectively. In cohort 1, CRc rates with single-agent FLT3i (n = 21) versus FLT3i-based combinations (n = 19) in second/third sequential FLT3i exposures were 19% versus 42%, respectively. In cohort 2, the CRc rates with single-agent FLT3i (n = 82) versus FLT3i-based combinations (n = 101) in first FLT3i exposure were 34% versus 53%, respectively, and those with single-agent FLT3i (n = 63) versus FLT3i-based combinations (n = 55) in second/third/fourth sequential FLT3i exposures were 13% versus 25%, respectively. Conclusion CRc rates drop progressively with sequential exposure to FLT3i’s in FLT3-mutated AML. In all settings, CRc rates were higher with FLT3i-based combinations compared with single-agent FLT3i therapy in similar FLT3i exposure settings.

PURPOSE A prospective randomized trial was performed to determine if the addition of methotrexate, vinblastine, and doxorubicin to cisplatin (M-VAC) imparted a response rate or a survival advantage over single-agent cisplatin in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS From October 1984 through May 1989, 269 patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma were entered onto this international intergroup trial and randomized to receive intravenous (IV) cisplatin (70 mg/m2) alone or with methotrexate (30 mg/m2 on days 1, 15, 22), vinblastine (3 mg/m2 on days 2, 15, 22) plus doxorubicin (30 mg/m2 on day 2). Cycles were repeated every 28 days until tumor progression or a maximum of six cycles. There were 246 fully assessable patients of whom 126 were randomized to cisplatin alone and 120 were randomized to the M-VAC regimen. RESULTS As expected, the M-VAC regimen was associated with a greater toxicity, especially leukopenia, mucositis, granulocytopenic fever, and drug-related mortality. Response rates were superior for the M-VAC regimen compared with single-agent cisplatin (39% v 12%; P less than .0001). Similarly, the progression-free survival (10.0 v 4.3 months) and overall survival (12.5 v 8.2 months) were significantly greater for the combined therapy arm. CONCLUSION Although a more toxic regimen, we found M-VAC to be superior to single-agent cisplatin with respect to response rate, duration of remission, and overall survival in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma.

Abstract Abstract 719 Background: Fludarabine (FLU), cyclophosphamide and rituximab or other FLU based regimens have shown improvement in response rates, progression-free survival, and in some studies overall survival in patients (pts) with previously untreated CLL or SLL. However, the value of FLU based therapies in older pts is less clear with both clinical trial and retrospective analyses showing no improvement in progression-free and overall survival with FLU based therapy. In contrast, regimens that contain rituximab appear to provide benefit across all age groups. OFA is a fully human Immunoglobulin G1 kappa, monoclonal antibody that targets a unique epitope on the CD20 molecule. Pre-clinical data indicate that OFA has greater NK cell and monocyte mediated killing, complement dependent cytotoxicity, and direct killing against CLL cells. Based on pre-clinical and clinical studies indicating possible increased efficacy of OFA in pts with CLL, our aim was to develop an antibody-only regimen for older pts and pts who refuse FLU-based regimens. Methods: Eligible pts had previously untreated CD20+ B-cell CLL(B-CLL) or SLL according to NCI criteria, ECOG PS of ≤2, and were either ≥ 65 years of age, or pts 18–64 years of age who had declined FLU-based regimens. All pts in this study received OFA as an IV infusion once weekly for a total of 8 weeks. To reduce the possibility of infusion reactions, the first dose of OFA was administered at a dose of 300mg. If the initial 300mg dose of OFA was well tolerated, without occurrence of any infusion associated AEs of ≥ grade 3, subsequent doses of OFA (i.e., Week 2 through Week 8) were given at a dose of 2000mg for cohort 1 and 1000mg for cohort 2. Eight weeks after the 8-week induction treatment (tx) ended; pts were assessed for response to the tx. Pts who progressed received no further tx. Pts who responded to the tx or who did not have disease progression received maintenance therapy - OFA at a dose of 2000mg IV for cohort 1 and 1000mg for cohort 2 every 2 months for 2 years (for a total of 12 doses, in the absence of PD or intolerable toxicity) beginning 3 months after the last dose of OFA. Results: Between 8/2010 and 12/2011, 77 pts were accrued (44 pts on cohort 1, 33 pts on cohort 2), median FU for Cohort 1 was 16.1 months (11.6–20.9) and Cohort 2 7.2 months (3.6–10.7). Median age of cohort 1 was 69 (range 47–88) and cohort 2 was 75 (range 50–93). Rai stage at study entry was I/II/III/IV (cohort 1 15/5/11/14 and cohort 2 9/10/7/7). All pts have completed induction therapy. The most common reason for early discontinuation was due to progressive disease (7 pts). Neutropenia was the most common grade 3/4 hematologic adverse event (10 pts). There were no G3 related non-hematologic AEs in either cohort. Two pts have died (1 due to MI, 1 due to CVA). Response by NCI 1996 criteria and IWCLL 2008 criteria and FISH category are shown below; at the time of this analysis 44 pts on C1 and 22pts on C2 were evaluable for response. Kaplan-Meier estimate of PFS is 74% at 15 months for cohort 1. Time to event data for cohort 2 are immature at this analysis but PFS but will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: OFA, when given as a single agent, is well tolerated as front-line therapy in pts with CLL/SLL. Response rates and PFS compare favorably to our previous studies with rituximab using the same response criteria, particularly when differences in the age of pts entered onto the study are considered. The optimal single-agent dose of OFA in the front-line setting remains to be determined. Further follow-up of these data my provide insight in the dose/response relationship. Disclosures: Off Label Use: Ofatumumab as front-line treatment for CLL/SLL.

298 Background: Docetaxel use has led to a significant prolongation in overall survival (OS) in metastatic prostate cancer after castrate resistance, with a more substantial OS gain when used in combination with initial androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). There is however limited information on outcomes in patients who initially do not receive chemotherapy, perhaps through patient choice or impaired performance status, who become suitable for docetaxel, comparing earlier with later docetaxel treatment. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients’ electronic clinical and prescribing records diagnosed with MCRPC and treated with docetaxel from 01/01/2006 to 24/11/2016 in a single centre in the UK. Data was reviewed for number of individual treatments received pre and post chemotherapy, including initial ADT, enzalutamide, abiraterone, docetaxel, cabazitaxel, mitoxantrone, radium 223, single agent steroids and diethylstilboestrol. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) response, number of cycles and dosing of docetaxel and OS were also reviewed. Results: 168 consecutive patients with MCRPC receiving docetaxel were reviewed. Median Gleason grade across the three groups was 8. 48 patients (29%) received docetaxel after 1 or 2 previous treatments, 105 (63%) after 3 or 4 previous treatments and 15 (9%) after 5 or 6. PSA response rates were superior in the earlier treated group (61%, p=0.003), compared with 30% and 31% respectively in the later groups. Median number of cycles was 5.5 overall, with a mean weighted dose received of 396mg/m2, 373mg/m2 and 301mg/m2 in the after 1 or 2 treatments, after 3 or 4 treatments and after 5 or 6 treatment groups. Median OS from castrate resistance for the earlier group was 29 months, not significantly less (p=0.1) than the 35 months for an intermediate number of prior treatments and 42 months for the later treated group. Conclusions: In this group of patients in routine clinical practice who do not receive docetaxel with initial ADT, PSA response rates are significantly improved and overall dose received is higher with subsequent earlier use. However, overall survival is not significantly different between the early and later docetaxel treated patients.
