Purpose We performed a phase II study of oral vorinostat, a histone and protein deacetylase inhibitor, to examine its efficacy and tolerability in patients with relapsed/refractory indolent lymphoma. Patients and Methods In this open label phase II study (NCT00253630), patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (FL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), with ≤ 4 prior therapies were eligible. Oral vorinostat was administered at a dose of 200 mg twice daily on days 1 through 14 of a 21-day cycle until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR), with secondary end points of progression-free survival (PFS), time to progression, duration of response, safety, and tolerability. Results All 35 eligible patients were evaluable for response. The median number of vorinostat cycles received was nine. ORR was 29% (five complete responses [CR] and five partial responses [PR]). For 17 patients with FL, ORR was 47% (four CR, four PR). There were two of nine responders with MZL (one CR, one PR), and no formal responders among the nine patients with MCL, although one patient maintained stable disease for 26 months. Median PFS was 15.6 months for patients with FL, 5.9 months for MCL, and 18.8 months for MZL. The drug was well-tolerated over long periods of treatment, with the most common grade 3 adverse events being thrombocytopenia, anemia, leucopenia, and fatigue. Conclusion Oral vorinostat is a promising agent in FL and MZL, with an acceptable safety profile. Further studies in combination with other active agents in this setting are warranted.

7106 Background: E7389, a synthetic analog of halichondrin B that was isolated from a marine sponge, has broad anti-proliferative activity at nanomolar levels and a unique profile of tubulin interactions. Methods: This is an open-label, single-arm, stratified phase II study of E7389 in patients with measurable, recurrent and/or metastatic NSCLC who progressed during or after platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. E7389 (1.4 mg/m2) was administered as a bolus IV on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle to 72 patients (cohort 1) in stratum I (55 taxane pretreated patients) and stratum II (17 taxane-naive patients) and on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle (cohort 2), providing an additional 22 patients in stratum I. The primary efficacy endpoint was objective response rate to E7389 monotherapy. Results: As of 9 December 2005, 94 evaluable patients received E7389. Nineteen tumors were classified as squamous cell carcinomas, 39 as adenocarcinomas, and 36 were large cell carcinomas or unclassified. The median number of cycles completed was 3. Fifteen patients completed 6 or more cycles and 75 patients underwent tumor assessments after cycle 2. Major toxicities related to study drug included myelosuppression, nausea, fatigue, dehydration, arthralgias, dyspnea, and peripheral neuropathy. Based on RECIST criteria, 6 partial responses (PR) were observed among 94 evaluable patients (PR rate = 6.4%, 95% CI: 2.8%, 12.8%). For 33 patients the best response was stable disease (SD rate = 35.1%, 95% CI: 25.5%, 45.1%). Disease control rate (PR + SD) was 41.5% (95% CI: 31.4%, 51.7%). For cohort 1, the 12-week progression free survival rate was 57.2%. As of 9 December 2005, median PFS time was 108 days (95% CI = 55, min-max = 1–239+). Cohort 2 is being followed to estimate their 12-week PFS. The correlation of beta tubulin isotype, stathmin, microtubule-associated protein 4 (MAP4) and tau protein mRNA expression with tumor responses is on-going. Conclusions: Based on this data, E7389 has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of NSCLC patients. Updated information and results of molecular correlations of responses will be presented. [Table: see text]

485 Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitors, including axitinib (AG-013736), may be useful in treating patients with mCRC. The goals of this study were to estimate the objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety in patients with mCRC treated with mFOLFOX-6 combined with axitinib or bevacizumab or both. Methods: Patients with mCRC untreated with any systemic chemotherapy >12 months prior to enrollment, ECOG PS 0/1, adequate organ function, and controlled hypertension were eligible for this randomized, open-label, phase II study. Patients receiving prior treatment with antiangiogenic agents or those who were pregnant were ineligible. All patients received standard mFOLFOX-6 treatment and were randomized to receive either axitinib 5 mg (Arm A), or bevacizumab 5 mg/kg (Arm B), or axitinib 5 mg + bevacizumab 2 mg/kg (Arm C). Axitinib was administered orally twice daily. Efficacy was determined by RECIST criteria. Results: A total of 42, 43, and 41 patients were enrolled in Arms A, B, and C, respectively. The ORR was 29%, 49%, and 39% for Arms A, B, and C, respectively. Median PFS was 315 days, 350 days, and 377 days, with 1-year survival of 72%, 79%, and 80% for Arms A, B, and C, respectively. Discontinuations due to adverse events (AEs) were more common in Arm A (36%), than in Arms B (19%) or C (32%). More patients withdrew from Arm A (18%) than from Arms B (5%) or C 12%). The rates of grade 3 AEs were similar across arms, except for hypertension and fatigue which were more common in Arms A (15% and 12%) and C (21% and 29%) compared with Arm B (2% and 12%). Serious AEs were reported by 41%, 40%, and 56% of patients in Arms A, B, and C, respectively; the most common were gastrointestinal disorders (21%, 16%, 15%, respectively). Conclusions: In combination with mFOLFOX-6 chemotherapy, treatment with axitinib resulted in a lower ORR but comparable survival to bevacizumab and this did not appear to improve significantly in the presence of both agents. This result may have been affected by the higher numbers of discontinuations and withdrawals in Arm A compared with the other 2 arms. [Table: see text]

PURPOSE Mucosal melanoma (MM) is a highly vascularized tumor with an extremely poor prognosis. In this randomized, open-label, phase II study, we characterized the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in combination with carboplatin plus paclitaxel (CPB) in patients with previously untreated advanced MM. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive carboplatin (area under the curve, 5) plus paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) once every 4 weeks in combination with (CPB arm, 5 mg/kg) or without (CP arm) bevacizumab once every 2 weeks. Progression-free survival (PFS) was the primary end point. Secondary end points included overall survival (OS), objective response rate, and adverse events. RESULTS We recruited 114 patients to our study. The median PFS was significantly longer in the CPB arm (4.8 months; 95% CI, 3.6 to 6.0 months) than in the CP arm (3.0 months; 95% CI, 1.7 to 4.3 months) (hazard ratio, 0.461; 95% CI, 0.306 to 0.695; P < .001). Objective response rates were 19.7% and 13.2%, respectively ( P = .384). The median OS was also significantly longer in the CPB arm than in the CP arm (13.6 v 9.0 months; hazard ratio, 0.611; 95% CI, 0.407 to 0.917; P = .017). No new safety signals were observed. CONCLUSION PFS and OS were significantly better in patients with metastatic MM who received bevacizumab in addition to CPB than in those who received CPB alone. A phase III study should be performed to confirm these benefits (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02023710 ).

Abstract Abstract 4884 Background: Bendamustine is an alkylating agent with a unique mechanism of action and has demonstrated efficacy as a single agent for the treatment of relapsed or refractory indolent B-NHL or MCL. We conducted a multicenter, phase II study of bendamustine in Japanese patients with indolent B-cell NHL or MCL, reporting an overall response rate of 91% (90% in indolent B-NHL and 100% in MCL) according to International Workshop Response Criteria after a median follow-up of 12.6 months (Ohmachi et al. Cancer Sci 2010 [Epub ahead of print]). Here we report the updated progression-free survival (PFS) data, including median PFS, which had not been reached at the time of previous reports. Patients and Methods: Eligible patients (aged 20–75 years; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1) with measurable, pathologically confirmed indolent B-NHL or MCL that failed to respond to, or relapsed after, prior therapy were enrolled. Bendamustine 120 mg/m2 was administered intravenously over 60 minutes on days 1 and 2 every 21 days for up to 6 cycles. PFS was assessed 3 months after completion of the last cycle, and then at 3-month intervals. Results: A total of 69 patients, aged 33–75 years, were enrolled: 58 with indolent B-NHL, mainly follicular lymphoma (n = 52), and 11 with MCL. Patients had primarily stage III or IV disease. The median number of prior regimens was 2 (range, 1–9) for patients with indolent B-NHL and 4 (range, 1–16) for those with MCL. A median of 5 (range, 1–6) bendamustine cycles were administered, with 72% of patients completing 3 or more cycles. The median follow-up time for all patients is 20.6 months (range, 2.5–27.2 months). The median PFS was 21.1 months (95% CI, 15.8-NA; NA = not available due to short period of observation): 20.0 months (95% CI, 12.3-NA) in indolent B-NHL, and 21.7 months (95% CI, 16.5-NA) in MCL. Estimated 2-year PFS rates were 45.2% and 34.1% in indolent B-NHL and MCL, respectively. Conclusions: Bendamustine monotherapy is highly effective in patients with relapsed or refractory indolent B-NHL and MCL. The durable responses observed in this study strongly support the use of bendamustine in these patients and are particularly encouraging in the relapsed or refractory MCL population. Disclosures: Off Label Use: Bendamustine is a novel alkylator that has shown efficacy and safety in patients with indolent lymphomas, and particularly encouraging is the activity in patients with mantle cell lymphoma, which is difficult to treat. Although bendamustine is currently investigational in Japan, approval for relapsed/refractory indolent NHL and mantle cell lymphoma is anticipated in October 2010.

Abstract Abstract 4942 INTRODUCTION. Patients with Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) have an adverse outcome after relapse due to chemorefractory disease with conventional treatments. Bendamustine, a nitrogen mustard compound chemically related to the alkylating agents, has demonstrated high efficacy with a low toxicity profile in reported clinical trials. AIM. To analyze the Spanish experience in patients with relapsed/refractory MCL treated with Bendamustine. METHODS. Retrospective analysis of spanish experience in relapsed/refractory MCL treated with Bendamustine alone or in combination. This study has been approved by local ethical committees. RESULTS. Currently, there are 36 patients registered and 28 are available for this analysis. Patients'characteristics: 69% male, median age 65 years old (range 41–81), 87% ECOG≤ 1, 83% Ann Arbor stage IV, 37% high risk MIPI and 9% blastic variant. Previous regimens were CHOP or CHOP like ± R in 42.5%, HyperCVAD/MtxAraC ± R in 42.5%, R-CVP in 9% and other regimens in 6%. Median number of previous treatments were 2.6 (range 1–6), all patients had received prior Rituximab and 73% had chemosensitive disease to the last treatment. Bendamustine regimen was R-B (R-375mg/m2 D1, B-90 mg/m2 D1-2) in 78% patients, R-B with B-70 mg/m2 in 8%, B alone in 3%, R-B-Bortezomib in 3% and R-B plus consolidation (SCT, Y90Ibritumomab-tiuxetan) in 8%. Median number of cycles was 4.61 (range 1–7). G- CSF support was administered in 43% of cycles. Response: Overall response rate was 73%, with 43% CR & uCR and 30% PR. Survival: Median overall survival from diagnosis is 8,26 years (range: 1.6–11,6 years) without plateau. Median progression free survival (PFS) after Bendamustine treatment was 16 months (95% CI: 11.7–20.4), data that compares favourably with patients' PFS to previous therapy (12 months, 95% CI: 6.5–17.5). Median PFS for patients who achieved CR/uCR is 32.6 months (95% CI: 19.9–45.4) versus 11 months in patients with PR (95% CI: 3.9–18.8). With a median follow-up for surviving patients of 12 months since Bendamustine treatment, the estimated OS at 3 years is 47% (+ SD 14%). Toxicity: No treatment related mortality has been described so far. Over 152 cycles, only 10 hospitalizations due to febrile neutropenia were reported. No one case of lysis tumoral syndrome has been reported. CONCLUSION. Bendamustine plus Rituximab is a good rescue treatment in non selected pretreated patients with mantle cell lymphoma. CR rate and duration of response seem to reproduce in current clinical practice the good data reported in previous clinical trials and compares favourably with other available treatments. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
