10031 Background: Imatinib may significantly downstage the metastatic GIST. This prospective, phase II, open-label trial of neoadjuvant imatinib evaluated the overall tumor response and progression rate of disease in locally advanced, non-metastic patients. Methods: Inclusion criteria were: KIT (n=39) or PDFRA (n=6) positive GIST, proven by biopsy and IHC. Tumors had to be locally advanced, potentially resectable, M0. Patients received 400 mg of imatinib daily (KIT exon 9 mutations: twice daily) for 6 months, in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. At two months 18F-FDG-PET examination was performed to assess response in paralle to CT imaging. Adjuvant treatment postoperatively was not part of the study protocol (CST1571-BDE43, NCT00112632). Median follow-up is 36 months in 39 patients. Results: From 7/2005 to 10/ 2009, 41 patients (16f, 25 m, mean age 54 yrs) were recruited to the trial with an average tumor size of 10.8 cm. One patient died from myocardial infarction 3 weeks after start of treatment, all other patients completed the protocol. In two patients dose reduction/interruption due to toxicity was required. 34/41 patients underwent resection of the tumor after a median of 200 d (range 57-394), while two patients had to be operated early due to disease progression. R0 resections were performed in 30/34 patients, two patients showed M1 disease at resection. Five patients showed developed progression postop., resulting in a PFS rate at 3 years of 85.2%. No patient has died so far from the disease. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant treatment with imatinib for six months is a safe treatment in patients with locally advanced disease. The extent of the operation can be significantly downsized after pretreatment. Despite the fact that no adjuvant treatment was foreseen, the progression-free rate at 3 years postoperatively is promising.

4549 Background: The DANTE study evaluates atezolizumab in the perioperative treatment of locally advanced, potentially resectable gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma in combination with perioperative FLOT. Here, we report the protocol-defined interim safety analysis. Methods: DANTE is a multinational, prospective, multicenter, randomized, investigator-initiated, open label phase II trial. Patients (pts) with locally advanced, potentially resectable adenocarcinoma of the stomach and GEJ (≥cT2 and/or N-positive) without distant metastases are enrolled. Pts are randomized 1:1 to 4 pre-operative 2-week cycles of FLOT followed by surgery and 4 additional cycles of FLOT plus atezolizumab at 840 mg every 2 weeks, followed by a total of 8 additional cycles of atezolizumab at 1200 mg every 3 weeks as monotherapy (arm A) or FLOT alone (arm B). Primary endpoint is time to disease progression or relapse after surgery (PFS/DFS). Results: Recruitment started in Sep 2018; by Feb 2020, a total of 175 pts have been randomized. This analysis is based on the first 40 pts (20 pts in each arm). The pts had a median age of 62 y and 75% of pts had an ECOG PS of 0 in both arms. The cohort was well balanced in terms of tumor location and clinical stage. 5% of the 40 patients (overall 7.4% of 175 pts enrolled) showed microsatellite instability. 90% of pts enrolled completed all pre-operative cycles in each arm. Total number of adverse events with relation to study treatment was 154 in arm A and 148 in arm B. Total number of serious adverse events (SAE; related or not) was 16 in Arm A and 14 in arm B. 20% of pts in each arm had an SAE due to perioperative morbidity. No surgical mortality was observed. 18 and 19 pts proceeded to operation in arms A and B, respectively. Premature treatment discontinuation occurred in 2 pts in each arm: disease progression (1) and deterioration of general health condition (1) in arm A; and pts’ wish (1) and death (1) in arm B. Median hospitalization time was 15 days in arm A and 16 days in arm B. Conclusions: Perioperative atezolizumab plus FLOT is feasible and safe. The study continues recruitment. Clinical trial information: NCT03421288 .

312 Background: Silmitasertib (CX-4945), an oral small molecule inhibitor of casein kinase 2 (CK2), has exhibited preclinical antitumor activity and strong synergism with gemcitabine + cisplatin. We investigated the safety and efficacy of silmitasertib in combination with gemcitabine + cisplatin in patients with unresectable cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Methods: S4-13-001 is a multicenter, open-label, phase Ib/II study of silmitasertib in combination with gemcitabine + cisplatin in patients with locally advanced or metastatic CCA. The phase Ib portion included dose-escalation, expansion, and exploratory cohorts of silmitasertib with doses ranging from 200 to 1000 mg bid (6 days for the escalation/expansion cohorts and 10 and 21 days’ continuous dosing for the exploratory cohorts). In the phase II portion patients received silmitasertib 1000 mg bid for 10 days in combination with gemcitabine + cisplatin on days 1 & 8 over a 21-day cycle. In this interim analysis, we present findings from the combined population of patients from the phase Ib and II portions of the study. Response to treatment was assessed by RECIST v1.1 every 6 weeks. Primary efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS). ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02128282). Results: A total of 87 patients were enrolled and received silmitasertib in the phase Ib (n=50) and phase II (n=37) portions of the study. Of these, 55 patients were evaluable for efficacy with details as follows: median PFS 11.1 (95% CI 7.6–14.7) months; median overall survival (OS) 17.4 (95% CI 13.4–25.7) months; overall response rate (ORR) 32.1%; and disease control rate (DCR) 79.3%. Almost all patients (79/87; 90.8%) evaluable for safety reported ≥1 treatment-related adverse event (TEAE). The most common TEAEs (all grades) with silmitasertib were diarrhea (65.5%), nausea (50.6%), vomiting (33.3%), fatigue (31.0%), and anemia (21.8%). The most common grade ≥3 TEAEs were diarrhea (13.8%), neutropenia (11.5%), nausea (9.2%), anemia (8.0%), and thrombocytopenia (8.0%). Eleven patients (12.6%) discontinued treatment due to TEAEs. Conclusions: Silmitasertib in combination with gemcitabine + cisplatin yields promising preliminary evidence of efficacy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic CCA. Based on these data a randomized phase III trial is planned. Clinical trial information: NCT02128282.

TPS4142 Background: Perioperative FLOT chemotherapy has become a standard of care for locally advanced, resectable gastric cancer and adenocarcinoma of the GEJ. However, patient outcomes are still unsatisfactory and 5-year survival in T3-4 or nodal positive disease is still around 50%. Targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway has proven active in different cancers, including esophagogastric cancer, and was associated with response rates in the 10-15% range in unselected, heavily pre-treated gastric cancer patients. Atezolizumab is a PD-L1 inhibitor with established efficacy and tolerability profiles. This study evaluates atezolizumab in the perioperative treatment of locally advanced, potentially resectable gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma in combination with FLOT. Methods: This is a large, multinational, prospective, multicenter, randomized, investigator-initiated, open label phase II trial. Patients with locally advanced, potentially resectable adenocarcinoma of the stomach and GEJ (≥cT2 and/or N-positive) without distant metastases are enrolled. Eligibility status is centrally evaluated. Patients are randomized 1:1 to 4 pre-operative 2-week cycles (8 weeks) of FLOT (Docetaxel 50 mg/m²; Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m²; Leucovorin 200 mg/m²; 5-FU 2600 mg/m²) followed by surgery and 4 additional cycles of FLOT plus atezolizumab at 840 mg every 2 weeks, followed by a total of 8 additional cycles of atezolizumab at 1200 mg every 3 weeks as monotherapy (arm A) or FLOT alone (arm B). Primary endpoint is time to disease progression or relapse after surgery (PFS/DFS) as assessed by the Kaplan-Meier-Method. The statistical design is based on a target HR of 0.68, a power of 0.8, and a significance level of p< 0.05 (1-sided log rank test). A total of 295 patients will be randomized. Main secondary endpoints are rates of centrally assessed pathological regression (rates of complete and nearly complete pathological regression), overall survival, R0 resection, and safety. Recruitment started in Sept 2018; by February 2019, a total of 27 patients have been randomized. Clinical trial information: NCT03421288.

TPS772 Background: Cabozantinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with activity against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors, MET and AXL, is approved for the treatment of advanced RCC (in the USA) in treatment-naïve patients with intermediate or poor risk, as well as following VEGF-targeted therapy (in Europe). Here we present the design of the CaboPoint study evaluating the efficacy and safety of cabozantinib in patients with clear-cell metastatic RCC, whose disease progressed after CPI therapy. Methods: CaboPoint is a phase II, open-label (OL), single-arm study of cabozantinib in adults with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic RCC with a clear-cell component, whose disease progressed after CPI therapy with ipilimumab and nivolumab alone (cohort A) or in combination with VEGF-targeted therapy (cohort B). The primary endpoint is objective response rate, evaluated by independent review committee. Secondary endpoints include time to response, duration of response, disease control rate, progression-free survival and overall survival. Change in disease-related symptoms and safety/tolerability will also be assessed. During the pre-treatment period, potential participants will attend a screening visit within 15 days of treatment initiation to determine eligibility status. During the treatment period, a target of 250 eligible patients (n = 125 per cohort) at 50 sites across AT, CH, DE, ES, FR, NL and UK will receive OL cabozantinib (60 mg once daily; self-administered at home) for up to 18 months after the last recruited patient has received their first dose. Safety assessments will be conducted every 2 weeks up to week 4, and every 4 weeks thereafter. Patients may continue on cabozantinib after disease progression if clinical benefit is observed. During the post-treatment follow-up period, patients who discontinue early will be contacted at visits every 12 weeks to assess survival status and subsequent anticancer therapy. Each cohort will have an interim analysis when 60% of the patients have reached 12 months of follow-up. The study is funded by Ipsen Pharma. Clinical trial information: NCT03945773.

6016 Background: Vandetanib is a once-daily oral anticancer agent that selectively targets VEGF, EGF and RET receptor tyrosine kinases. We report preliminary results from an ongoing open-label phase I study of vandetanib with RT ± cisplatin in patients (pts) with previously untreated, unresected, locally advanced (stage III-IV) HNSCC. Methods: Eligible pts received once-daily vandetanib for 14 days followed by either 1) concomitant vandetanib + RT (2 Gy/d, 5 d/wk; total 70 Gy) + cisplatin (30 mg/m2, 2 h iv infusion/wk) for 7 wks, or 2) concomitant vandetanib + RT (2.2 Gy/d accelerated fractionation, 5 d/wk; total 66 Gy) for 6 wks. The primary objective was to determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of vandetanib in both regimens. The first pt cohort received vandetanib 100 mg/day; escalation to 200 mg and 300 mg in subsequent cohorts was permitted providing <2/6 (33%) pts in the preceding cohort experienced a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Cohort expansion at the MTD of vandetanib was also planned. Results: As of Dec 1 2008, 24 pts (median age 53.5 yrs; 19 male; all M0) had received treatment with vandetanib + RT + cisplatin (n=18) or vandetanib + RT (n=6). In the triplet arm, no DLTs occurred in the initial vandetanib 100 mg cohort (n=6); an additional 6 pts were enrolled to receive vandetanib 200 mg but this dose was considered to exceed the MTD since DLTs were reported in 3/5 evaluable pts (Table). Vandetanib 100 mg was therefore declared the MTD with RT + cisplatin and cohort expansion at this dose continues. In regimen 2), 6 pts have received vandetanib 100 mg + RT and evaluation of this initial cohort is ongoing. Conclusions: This study, which continues to recruit, is the first to evaluate dual targeting of VEGFR/EGFR tyrosine kinases with chemoradiation or radiation alone in HNSCC pts. Among the 24 treated pts, 2 have completed the 2-year follow up, 1 death occurred that was causally related to cisplatin, and 21 remain in follow up or continue to receive treatment.

577 Background: Targeted therapy has shown remarkable treatment efficacy on the outcomes of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. However, this advance for treatment outcomes with targeted agents has been limited to patents with clear cell histology. The optimal treatment strategy for metastatic non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) remains uncertained. Recently, several vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors have shown efficacies for nccRCC. Thus, we designed a single-arm, open label phase II study to determine the efficacy and toxicity of pazopanib in patients with nccRCC. Methods: Patients with metastatic nccRCC except for collecting duct or sarcomatoid type received 800mg/day of pazopanib daily until progression of the disease or intolerable toxicity was observed. The primary objectives were progression free survival (PFS) and second objectives were overall survival (OS), treatment response and safety profiles. Results: A total of 29 eligible patients were enrolled from September 2012 to August 2014. The median age of the patients was 59 years (range, 30-77 years) and 21 patients were male. The median PFS was 8.3 months (95% CI, 4.0-12.6 months) and median OS was not reached (range, 1.5-34.7 months). Among all 29 patients, five patients (17.2%) are ongoing treatment without disease progression. Disease progression was observed in 16 patients (55.2%) during follow up period. Five patients (17.2%) experienced a treatment-related toxicity of grade 3 or more during the study and they stopped treatment in the end. Eight patients (27%) expired during follow up period but, there were no treatment-related deaths. Conclusions: This prospective phase II study showed that pazopanib demonstrated promising activity and tolerable safety in patients with nccRCC (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01538238). Clinical trial information: NCT01538238.

4532 Background: Pembro was approved for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic UC that progressed during or after a platinum-containing regimen, based on the phase 3 KEYNOTE-045 (NCT02256436) trial that showed significantly improved OS with use of pembro. Updated results are presented from KEYNOTE-045 after >5 y of follow-up since the last patient (pt) was randomized. Methods: KEYNOTE-045 is a randomized, multisite, open-label, phase 3 trial. Pts with histologically or cytologically confirmed UC, progression after platinum-containing chemo, ECOG PS 0-2, measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, and ≤2 prior lines of systemic therapy were eligible. Pts were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive pembro 200 mg Q3W or investigator’s choice of paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 Q3W, docetaxel 75 mg/m2 Q3W, or vinflunine 320 mg/m2 Q3W. Primary end points are PFS (RECIST v1.1, blinded central review) and OS. ORR and duration of response (DOR) were key secondary end points. Results: As of Oct 1, 2020, among 542 enrolled pts, median time from randomization to data cutoff was 62.9 mo (range 58.6-70.9). 9.4% and 0% of pts in the pembro and chemo arms, respectively, completed 2 years of therapy. Median OS was longer for pembro vs chemo (10.1 vs 7.2 mo; HR, 0.71 [95% CI, 0.59-0.86]) overall and in pts with CPS ≥10 (8.0 vs 4.9 mo; HR, 0.59 [95% CI, 0.40-0.86]). For pts with CR or PR, median OS was not reached and 16.4 (95% CI, 11.3-25.1) mo in the pembro and chemo arms, respectively (Table). OS rates at 48 mo were 16.7% for pembro and 10.1% for chemo; 60-mo OS rates were 14.9% and 8.7%, respectively. OS benefit with pembro vs chemo continued regardless of age, ECOG PS, prior therapy, liver metastases, baseline hemoglobin, time from last chemo, histology, risk factors, and chemo choice. Median DOR for responders was longer for pembro vs chemo (29.7 mo [1.6+ to 60.5+] vs 4.4 mo [1.4+ to 63.1+]), and a greater proportion of responses lasted ≥48 mo (40.9% vs 28.3%, Kaplan-Meier) and ≥60 mo (32.8% vs 28.3%). ORR was higher for pembro vs chemo (21.9% vs 11.0%; difference 10.8% [95% CI, 4.6-17.0]). Fewer pts given pembro vs chemo experienced a treatment-related AE of any grade (62.0% vs 90.6%) or grade ≥3 (16.9% vs 50.2%). Conclusions: After 5 y, pembro maintained clinically meaningful OS benefit vs chemo in pts with locally advanced or metastatic UC that progressed during or after platinum-based chemo. Pts who responded to pembro experienced a durable response (median >2 y). Clinical trial information: NCT02256436 .[Table: see text]
