PurposeNovel approaches are needed for patients with metastatic urothelial cancer (UC). This trial assessed the efficacy and toxicity of bevacizumab in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine (CGB) as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic UC.Patients and MethodsChemotherapy-naive patients with metastatic or unresectable UC received cisplatin 70 mg/m2on day 1, gemcitabine 1,000 to 1,250 mg/m2on days 1 and 8, and bevacizumab 15 mg/kg on day 1, every 21 days.ResultsForty-three patients with performance status of 0 (n = 26) or 1 (n = 17) and median age of 66 years were evaluable for toxicity and response. Grade 3 to 4 hematologic toxicity included neutropenia (35%), thrombocytopenia (12%), anemia (12%), and neutropenic fever (2%). Grade 3 to 5 nonhematologic toxicity included deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism (21%), hemorrhage (7%), cardiac (7%), hypertension (5%), and proteinuria (2%). Three treatment-related deaths (CNS hemorrhage, sudden cardiac death, and aortic dissection) were observed. Best response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors was complete response in eight patients (19%) and partial response in 23 patients (53%), for an overall response rate of 72%. Stable disease lasting ≥ 12 weeks occurred in four patients (9%), and progressive disease occurred in six patients (14%). With a median follow-up of 27.2 months (range, 3.5 to 40.9 months), median progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.2 months (95% CI, 6.8 to 10.3 months) with a median overall survival (OS) time of 19.1 months (95% CI, 12.4 to 22.7 months). The study-defined goal of 50% improvement in PFS was not met.ConclusionCGB demonstrates promising OS and antiangiogenic treatment-related toxicities in the phase II setting of metastatic UC. The full risk/benefit profile of CGB in patients with metastatic UC will be determined by an ongoing phase III intergroup trial.

5018 Background: Despite CG therapy, most metastatic UC patients die from their disease. Novel approaches are needed. Combining anti-angiogenic therapy with chemotherapy has improved outcomes in other malignancies, offering hope for similar improvements in UC patients. Methods: Metastatic or unresectable chemonaive UC patients (pts) with an ECOG performance status of 0–1 received C 70 mg/m2 iv d1, G 1,000–1,250 mg/m2 iv d1, 8, and B 15 mg/kg iv d1 on a q21d cycle for up to 8 cycles. Gemcitabine was reduced to 1,000 mg/m2 iv d1, 8 for all subsequent pts after 7 thromboembolic events were noted in the first 17 pts. The primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS). The trial was designed to detect a 33% improvement in PFS from 7.5 months with traditional CG therapy to 11.25 months with CGB. Results: By December 2008, 45 pts were enrolled, with 43 evaluable for toxicity, 36 for response. Demographics include: 33 (77%) male, 10 (23%) female; median age 66 (Range: 41 - 78); 26 (60%) and 17 (40%) ECOG 0/1; 19 (44%) and 24 (56%) lymph node only / visceral metastases. PFS will be evaluated in May 2009 when all pts will have more than 6 month follow-up data. 14 (33%) and 6 (14%) pts experienced grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicity (4 pts - thrombocytopenia, 2 pts - neutropenic fever). Grade 3 or 4 nonhematologic toxicity was observed in 24 (56%) and 9 (21%) pts (DVT/PE - 9 pts, CNS hemorrhage/proteinuria/hypertension - 1 pt each) Best RECIST response was: complete response 6 pts (17%, 95% CI 6–33%), partial response 18 pts (50%, 95% CI 33–67%); with overall response rate of 67% (95% CI 51–82%). Stable disease lasting at least 12 weeks was observed in 10 pts (28%, 95% CI 14–45%) and progressive disease in 2 pts (5%, 95% CI 1–19%). Conclusions: CGB demonstrates significant clinical activity in the first-line treatment of metastatic UC patients at the expense of considerable toxicity. The durability of disease control will be determined by assessment of PFS. A phase III trial to further define the toxicity risk vs. clinical benefit of bevacizumab addition to platinum-based doublets is planned in this population. [Table: see text]

299 Background: Currently, there are no standard treatments for relapsed or refractory urothelial carcinoma (UC). Discouraging results have been achieved in trials evaluating drugs as single agents or in combination regimens. Paclitaxel has activity when used alone and in combination in urothelial cancer, and pazopanib is active in solid tumors secondary to its potent anti-angiogenic effect. We report the results of an ongoing multicenter phase II study evaluating the combination of paclitaxel with pazopanib in refractory UC. Methods: Patients (pts) eligible for the study have histologically confirmed UC, with relapse after receiving up to 2 chemotherapeutic regimens. Pazopanib (800 mg) is administered daily, with weekly paclitaxel (80mg/m2) for 3 weeks in a 28 day cycle. Treatment is continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint of the study is the response-rate (RR) based on RECIST criteria. Secondary endpoints include safety, and progression free-survival (PFS). For designing the study, Simon’s two-stage method was applied, and 9 pts were recruited in the first stage. After having ≥1 response in the first group, a full enrollment of 32 pts has been initiated. Results: 25 pts were enrolled from April 2010 to September 2013. Their median age was 67 years (47-89), with a median ECOG performance status of 1 (0-2). 10 pts (40%) had UC of the upper urinary tract and 15 had primary bladder/ureter tumors. All pts had multiple metastatic sites, including 11 (44%) with liver metastases. Median number of prior cytotoxic regimens was 2, and 50% were considered cisplatin responsive. Based on RECIST (v1.1) criteria,13 pts (52%) had partial response (PR), 5 (20%) had stable disease (SD), and 2 (8%) had complete response (CR) (80% clinical benefit). The side effects included grade 3 hypertension (n=2), grade 3 fatigue (n=4), grade 3 thrombosis (n=2) and grade 4 neutropenia (n=2). 14 pts required growth factor support. Conclusions: Our phase II study combining paclitaxel and pazopanib demonstratedsignificant anti-tumor activity of combining paclitaxel in relapsed/refractory UC. This combination is safe, and is worthy of evaluation in larger studies. Clinical trial information: 1108055.

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]

439 Background: Weekly nab-P + Gem is a new option for first-line treatment (Tx) of mPC. In the MPACT trial, nab-P/Gem demonstrated superior overall survival (OS; primary endpoint) vs Gem alone as first-line Tx of mPC (Table). Here we report a subgroup analyses evaluating the efficacy and safety outcomes with nab-P + Gem vs Gem alone from the Canadian cohort of the MPACT trial. Methods: Previously untreated pts (N = 861) with mPC were randomized 1:1 (stratified by Karnofsky Performance Status [KPS], region, and the presence of liver metastases) to receive nab-P 125 mg/m2 + Gem 1000 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle or Gem 1000 mg/m2 weekly for 7 weeks followed by 1 week of rest (cycle 1) and then days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle (cycle ≥ 2). Results: 63 pts from Canada enrolled in the MPACT trial. Baseline pt characteristics were well balanced. Median age was 61 years and KPS was similar for both groups and comparable to the intent-to-treat (ITT) populations. Primary lesion in the pancreatic head was more common among pts in the nab-P + Gem vs Gem arm (55% vs 30%); use of biliary stent was similar (33% nab-P + Gem; 27% Gem). Median OS and progression-free survival (PFS) were longer with nab-P + Gem vs Gem (Table). Median Tx duration was 4.2 mo with nab-P + Gem vs 3.2 mo with Gem. Use of subsequent therapy was 30% in the nab-P + Gem arm vs 43% in the Gem arm. The median relative dose intensity for Gem was similar in each arm (81% nab-P + Gem vs 85% Gem). The most common grade ≥ 3 AEs for nab-P + Gem vs Gem were neutropenia (22% vs 10%), fatigue (34% vs 33%), and neuropathy (25% vs 0%). Conclusions: Canadian pts participating in MPACT were similar to the ITT population and nab-P + Gem was well tolerated and showed improved median OS, PFS, and ORR vs Gem alone, although not statistically significant (likely due to the small number of pts). Clinical trial information: NCT00844649. [Table: see text]

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.

4559 Background: GC has a high overall response rate (ORR) but a high relapse rate in pts with untreated mUC. Inhibition of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) with A can lead to long-term survival, but single-agent ORR is modest. We report the outcomes of GC+A in a cohort pts with mUC. Methods: This study was designed to assess the safety of GC + A in 10 pts with untreated mUC prior to testing GC + A in a neoadjuvant study in pts with muscle-invasive disease. The primary endpoint was safety as assessed by a predefined dose limiting toxicity (DLT) rate during the first cycle in the first 6 pts. Total accrual goal was 10 pts to collect preliminary data on ORR and progression-free survival (PFS). RECIST 1.1 assessments were performed every 9 wks. Pts received 6 cycles of GC + A induction and then A maintenance every 3 wks. Results: No DLTs occurred during the first cycle in the first 6 pts. Grades 3-4 neutropenia and anemia occurred in 6/10 and 7/10 pts, respectively. Three pts required gemcitabine dose reductions for hematologic toxicity and 2 pts had febrile neutropenia. One pt discontinued cisplatin after 2 cycles for grade 3 hearing impairment but completed induction with gemcitabine and A. Only 1 pt discontinued study therapy due to treatment-related adverse events (AEs), including A-related grade 4 encephalopathy and grade 3 polyneuropathy. Three of 10 pts had visceral (liver or bone) metastases. Of the 10 pts, 1 pt is completing induction but meets initial criteria for partial response (PR), 8 pts had confirmed PR, and 1 pt had progressive disease (PD). Of 9 pts with confirmatory scans, the median PFS was 10.6 months (95% CI 6.7, N/A). Of 8 pts with confirmed PR, 5 eventually had PD, 1 has just completed induction, 1 remains without PD at 25 months, and 1 had consolidation surgery with a pathologic complete response and remains disease-free at 21 months. Conclusions: This 10 pt study met its primary safety endpoint. The neoadjuvant study is ongoing (NCT02989584). Although there were a substantial number of grade 3-4 toxicities, therapy was discontinued due to treatment-related AEs in only 1 pt. Immune correlative studies are ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT02989584.

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.

6512 Background: Lenvatinib is an approved therapy for patients with RAIR DTC. While the overall response rate (ORR) is high, few patients achieve a complete response (CR) and most patients eventually have progressive disease (PD). Combination lenvatinib and pembrolizumab is being explored in many different cancers, and this combination has been approved for advanced endometrial carcinoma. Methods: Patients with RAIR DTC with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST v1.1) measurable PD (<14 months (mo) prior to registration) were enrolled in this single-arm multicenter phase II study. Patients were excluded if they had received previous VEGFR-directed multikinase therapy. The lenvatinib starting dose was 20 mg/day orally and pembrolizumab was 200mg IV every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was CR. ORR, progression-free survival (PFS) and safety graded by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0 were secondary endpoints. Results: Thirty patients were enrolled. The median age was 62.5 years, and 53% of the patients were women. Seventy percent of patients had grade 3 adverse events (AEs) and 10 percent had grade 4 AEs. There were no treatment-related deaths. The most common > grade 3 AEs were hypertension (47%), weight loss (13%), maculopapular rash (13%), leukopenia (7%), diarrhea (7%) and oral mucositis (7%). Twenty-one patients (70%) required lenvatinib dose reduction. Of 29 evaluable patients, 18 (62%) had a partial response (PR) and 10 (35%) had stable disease (SD). The clinical benefit rate (ORR +SD) was 97%. Median time to tumor nadir was 7.4 mo (1.6-17.8 mo). Median PFS was not yet reached. The PFS at 12 months was 74%. Median time on therapy was 9.9 mo (3.2-18.9 mo). Fourteen patients are continuing therapy (7.6-18.9 mo). Six of these patients (43%) have not yet reached tumor size nadir. Three patients (10%) had > 80% target tumor shrinkage. Conclusions: Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab is reasonably tolerated in patients with RAIR DTC. To date, there have been no documented complete responses. Combination lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab therapy has a high ORR in patients with RAIR DTC. Continuation of this study will help determine the depth and length of the responses. Clinical trial information: NCT02973997 .

Purpose No standard therapy exists for metastatic urothelial cancer (UC) that has progressed after initial chemotherapy. This trial was designed to assess the efficacy and tolerability of sunitinib in patients with advanced, previously treated UC. Patients and Methods In this phase II trial, 77 patients received sunitinib between September 2006 and January 2009 on one of two schedules (50 mg per day for 4 weeks on and 2 weeks off [cohort A], 37.5 mg per day continuously [cohort B]), using a Simon 2 stage design in each cohort separately. Results A partial response was seen in three of 45 patients (95% CI, 1% to 18%) in cohort A, and in one of 32 patients (95% CI, 0% to 16%) in cohort B. Clinical regression or stable disease was achieved in 33 of 77 patients (43%). Tumor regression lasted between 0.6 and 23.4 months with 29% of patients achieving response lasting longer than 3 months. The progression-free survival (2.4 v 2.3 months; P = .4) and overall survival (7.1 v 6.0 months; P = .4) were similar in both cohorts. There was one treatment-related death, and 47 patients (33 cohort A, 24 cohort B) experienced grade 3 or 4 toxicity. Conclusion Sunitinib did not achieve the predetermined threshold of ≥ 20% activity defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. However, antitumor responses were observed, identifying the vascular endothelial growth factor axis as a viable pathway for UC treatment. The reported clinical benefit in previously treated patients warrants further investigation in a disease for which there is no US Food and Drug Administration–approved treatment.

4089 Background: When compared to bolus 5-fluorouracil (F), leucovorin (L), and irinotecan (I) regimens such as IFL, the infusional F, L, I regimen (FOLFIRI) resulted in a improved toxicity profile with a response rate (RR) of 35% and median progression free survival (PFS) of 6.7 months. When combined with bevacizumab (B) as first-line treatment, IFL demonstrated improved activity with a RR of 45% and a median PFS of 10.6 months. Combining FOLFIRI and B may further improve the efficacy. Methods: We designed a single-arm, phase II trial of FOLFIRI+B with B (5mg/kg), I (180mg/m2), bolus of F (400mg/m2) and L (400mg/m2) with a 46-hour infusion of F (2400mg/m2) every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was PFS. Chemotherapy naïve mCRC patients (pts) with a performance status of 0–2 received B alone on Day -14, starting FOLFIRI+B on Day 1. Proteomic and radiographic correlative studies were completed and will be reported separately. Results: N=41 pts, median age 56 y/o (range 26–78), M:F = 16:25, 5 pts with prior adjuvant therapy, were enrolled from 1/2005 to 1/2007. A total of 502 cycles have been administered (median = 12). The median PFS is 12.6 months. Response rate by intention-to-treat analysis was 62% (24 pts), with 33% stable disease (13 pts). Responses occurred after a median of 4 months of therapy. Fifteen pts remain on treatment; 26 pts are off study: 7 for progressive disease, 2 withdrew consent, 7 for toxicity and 2 for surgery unrelated to cancer. Eight pts were removed from the study for metastasectomies. Grade 3 or 4 toxicities included 17 occurrences of grade = 3 neutropenia, including 1 grade 4 febrile neutropenia, 4 grade 4 pulmonary emboli, 2 grade 3 hand-foot syndrome, and 1 grade 3 diarrhea. One pt included in the analysis developed a possible microperforation, manifested by peritonitis, after B alone and never received FOLFIRI. Conclusion: FOLFIRI+B is well-tolerated and efficacious, with an impressive PFS that compares favorably to historical controls. This regimen is an excellent choice as a first-line treatment for mCRC.
