8587 Background: Survivin is a microtubule-associated protein implicated in both preservation of cell viability and regulation of mitosis in tumor cells. It is over-expressed in melanoma, breast, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. YM155 is a first in class survivin inhibitor. Methods: The study had 2 parts: Part 1 established the dose of docetaxel that was tolerable in combination withYM155 at 5 mg/m2/day continuous infusion over 168 hours q 3 weeks. Part 2 utilized the dose of docetaxel established in Part 1 to further evaluate the tolerability and activity of the combination. The primary endpoint was 6-month progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were overall response rate, 1-year overall survival (OS), time from first response to progression, clinical benefit rate, time to response, and safety. Results: 64 patients with metastatic melanoma were treated with docetaxel followed by continuous infusion YM155. 7 patients were treated with 100mg/m2 of docetaxel and 57 patients were treated with 75mg/m2 of docetaxel. Median age was 59, with 44 men and 20 women treated. 6-month PFS per Independent Review Committee (IRC) was 34.8% (95% CI 21.3 – 48.6%). Overall objective response rate per IRC was 12.5%, with no complete responses (CR) and 8 patients with partial responses (PR). The Stable disease (SD) rate was 51.6%, leading to a clinical benefit rate (CR + PR + SD) of 64.1%. Estimated 1-year overall survival is 50.5%. 87.5% of patients experienced a Grade 3 (G3) or Grade 4 (G4) event attributable to either YM155 or docetaxel. The clinically pertinent G3 or 4 toxicities occurring in greater than 5% of patients treated included neutropenia (59.4%), febrile neutropenia (12.5%), mucositis (9.4%), fatigue (7.8%), diarrhea (6.3%), and dehydration (6.3%). There were 3 deaths on study, all attributable to disease progression. Conclusions: YM155 is a novel agent that shows modest activity when combined with docetaxel in patients with melanoma. YM155 was generally well tolerated, but the pre-determined primary endpoint for efficacy was not achieved.

108 Background: GT0918 is a 2nd generation of AR antagonist and capability to down-regulate AR level. This study is an open-label, randomized, multicenter, Ph II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy in patients with mCRPC, and to determine the optimal dose for Ph III study. Methods: Patients with historically confirmed mCRPC who progressed after/intolerant to/reluctant to receive Docetaxel and previously treated with abiraterone or enzalutamide were excluded. All the patients received up to 6 cycles or, unacceptable toxicity, or loss of clinical benefit as recommended by PCWG3. Primary endpoint was prostate-specific antigen (PSA) reduction from baseline. Secondary endpoints included time to PSA progression (TTPP), objective response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR) and safety profiles. Results: As of June 30, 2019, 108 treated with GT0918 at three dose levels: 100 mg (n =37), 200 mg (n = 35) and 300 mg (n = 36), the median age of patients was 70.0 years (range 63-77), 88% of patients had stage IV disease at the initial diagnosis and 69.4% had Gleason score ≥ 8. The median duration of disease was 2.88 years. All received prior endocrine therapy, 35.2% received prior chemotherapy, 29.6% received Docetaxel. The median PSA at baseline was 35.285ng/ml, PSA response rate (≥50 % reduction from baseline) was 41.9%. The median time to PSA progression was not reached. There was no significant difference among three arms. Of 19 evaluable patients with target lesions at baseline, the ORR was 15.8% (all were PR) assessed by IRC with RECIST v 1.1, with 20.0% (1/5), 22.2% (2/9), 0 (0/5) at 100, 200, 300 dose level, respectively. The DCR assessed by IRC was 78.9% (CR 0+PR15.8%+SD 63.2%). Of 26 evaluable patients with target lesions at baseline, the ORR was 19.2% assessed by investigators (CR 3.8%+PR 15.4%), with 11.1% (1/9), 20.0% (2/10), 28.6% (2/7) at 100, 200, 300 dose level, respectively. Overall, AEs were experienced by most of patients (94.4 %, n=102). AEs leading to drug interruption were reported in 13 patients (12.0%), 9 (8.3%)of them were suspected to be drug related. AEs leading to discontinuation were reported in 6 patients (5.6%), 3(2.8%) were possibly related to GT0918. 14 patients (13.0%) experienced Grade 3 and 4 AEs. 17 patients (15.7%)experienced SAE, 5(4.6%) of them were suspected to be related to study drug. Most of AEs were mild or moderate. The common suspected AE (≥10%) were asthenia (17.6%, n=19), anemia (14.8%, n=16), AST increased (14.8%, n=16), ALT increased (13.0%, n=14), decreased appetite (13.0%, N=14), white blood cell count decreased (12.0%, n=13), proteinuria (12.0%, n=13). Conclusions: GT0918 showed a manageable safety profile. This study provided preliminary anti-tumor activity in patients with mCRPC. 200mg/day is recommended dose for Ph III trial.

Introduction Almost half of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Our aim was to assess the effects of adding necitumumab to chemotherapy in patients with stage IV NSCLC. Material and methods A comprehensive literature search was performed according to pre-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data on overall survival, progression-free survival, objective response rate and adverse events were extracted. A meta-analysis was performed to obtain pooled hazard ratios (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) for time-to-event data and pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI for dichotomous outcomes. Results The meta-analysis included four randomized clinical trials with 2074 patients. The pooled results showed significant improvement for overall survival (HR = 0.87 (95% CI 0.79–0.95), p = 0.004) when necitumumab was added to chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC. No statistically significant improvement was noted for progression-free survival and objective response rate (HR = 0.83 (95% CI 0.69–1.01), p = 0.06 and OR = 1.46 (95% CI 0.90–2.38), p = 0.13, respectively). Subgroup analysis showed that in patients with non-squamous NSCLC, there was no benefit in overall survival and objective response rate. Patients with advanced NSCLC who received necitumumab were at the highest odds of developing a skin rash (OR = 14.50 (95% CI 3.16–66.43), p = 0.0006) and hypomagnesaemia (OR = 2.77 (95% CI 2.23–3.45), p < 0.00001), while the OR for any grade ≥3 adverse event was 1.55 (95% CI 1.28–1.87, p < 0.00001). Conclusions The addition of necitumumab to standard chemotherapy in a first-line setting in patients with stage IV NSCLC results in a statistically significant improvement in overall survival, while the results were not significant for progression-free survival and objective response rate.

Purpose Objective responses are reported in 34% to 37% of patients with programmed death-1 (PD-1)–naïve advanced melanoma treated with PD-1 inhibitors. Pre-existing CD8+ T-cell infiltrate and interferon (IFN) gene signature correlate with response to PD-1 blockade. Here, we report a phase Ib/II study of pembrolizumab/pegylated (PEG)-IFN combination in PD-1–naïve advanced melanoma. Patients and Methods PEG-IFN (1, 2, and 3 μg/kg per week) was dose escalated using a modified toxicity probability interval design in three cohorts of four patients each, whereas pembrolizumab was dosed at 2 mg/kg every 3 weeks in the phase Ib portion. Thirty-one patients were enrolled in the phase II portion. Primary objectives were safety and incidence of dose-limiting toxicities. Secondary objectives included objective response rate, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival. Results Forty-three patients with stage IV melanoma were enrolled in the phase Ib and II portions of the study and included in the analysis. At the data cutoff date (December 31, 2017), median follow-up duration was 25 months (range, 1 to 38 months). All 43 patients experienced at least one adverse event; grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 21 of 43 patients (48.8%). Objective responses were seen at all three dose levels among 43 evaluable patients. The objective response rate was 60.5%, with 46.5% of patients exhibiting ongoing response. Median PFS was 11.0 months in all patients and unreached in responders, whereas median overall survival remained unreached in all patients. The 2-year PFS rate was 46%. Conclusion Pembrolizumab/PEG-IFN demonstrated an acceptable toxicity profile with promising evidence of clinical efficacy in PD-1–naïve metastatic melanoma. These results support the rationale to further investigate this pembrolizumab/PEG-IFN combination in this disease.

9060 Background: Dual blockade of PD-1 and CTLA-4 has shown improved overall survival (OS) in combination with a short course of chemotherapy. KN046 is a novel bispecific antibody that blocks both PD-L1 interaction with PD-1/CD80 and CTLA-4 interaction with CD80/CD86. We hypothesized that KN046 could be combined with a full course of chemotherapy and build more durable clinical benefit. Methods: This study enrolled systemic treatment naive, stage IV NSCLC patients (pts). Eligible pts received KN046 plus platinum doublet chemotherapy until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent or death. Efficacy evaluation was performed by investigators per RECIST 1.1. Safety and tolerability were assessed per NCI-CTCAE v5.0. Results: As of the Jan. 19, 2021, 87 pts [Cohort 1 (n = 51), Cohort 2 (n = 36)] have been enrolled with 83 pts having tumor PD-L1 expression data (PD-L1 ≥1%: 55.4%; PD-L1 < 1%: 44.6%). 33.3% pts remained on the study treatment and 66.7% pts discontinued treatment due to disease progression (27.6%), TEAE (13.8%), death (9.2%) and other reasons (16%). The median treatment duration of KN046 was 21 weeks (range: 1.6̃68.7 weeks). Treatment related TEAE (TRAE) occurred in 92% pts. 25.3% pts experienced Grade≥3 TRAE [diarrhoea (5.7%), alanine aminotransferase increased (4.6%), infusion related reaction (3.4%), rash (3.4%), aspartate aminotransferase increased, dermatitis allergic and immune-mediated pneumonitis (2.3%, respectively), anaphylactoid reaction, autoimmune hepatitis, back pain, bilirubin conjugated increased, hypertension, neutrophil count decreased, platelet count decreased, pneumonitis, rash maculo-papular, septic shock and white blood cell count decreased (1.1%, respectively). In 81 efficacy evaluable pts, the overall objective response rate (ORR) was 50.6% (95% CI: 39.3%,61.9%) and disease control rate (DCR) was 87.7% (95% CI: 78.5%-93.9%). The ORR and DCR in pts with non-squamous NSCLC (n = 48) were 45.8% (95% CI: 31.4%, 60.8%) and 89.6% (95% CI: 77.3%, 96.5%). The ORR and DCR in pts with squamous NSCLC (n = 33) were 57.6% (95% CI: 39.2%, 74.5%) and 84.8% (95% CI: 68.1%, 94.9). Progression free survival (PFS) and OS events have occurred in 53% and 18% patients. Median PFS was 5.9 (95%CI: 5.3, 8.7) months. Median OS was not reached. OS rate at 12 and 15 months were both 74.9%. Similar OS curves have been observed in PD-L1 ≥1% and PD-L1 < 1% pts. In PD-L1 ≥1% patients, median PFS was 6.7 months (10.8 months for PD-L1 ≥1% squamous NSCLC pts). Conclusions: KN046 combined with platinum doublet chemotherapy is tolerated and has shown promising clinical benefit as IL treatment for stage IV NSCLC particularly in PD-L1≥1% tumors and squamous histology. Pivotal Phase III trial in advanced unresectable or metastatic squamous NSCLC is currently ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT04054531.

PURPOSE To study whether BRAF V600 mutations in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) may indicate sensitivity to the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib, we included a cohort of patients with NSCLC in the vemurafenib basket (VE-BASKET) study. On the basis of observed early clinical activity, we expanded the cohort of patients with NSCLC. We present results from this cohort. METHODS This open-label, histology-independent, phase II study included six prespecified cohorts, including patients with NSCLC, and a seventh all-comers cohort. Patients received vemurafenib (960 mg two times per day) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point of the final analysis was objective response rate (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1). Secondary end points included progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety. Because the prespecified clinical benefit endpoint was met in the initial NSCLC cohort, the cohort was expanded. RESULTS Sixty-two patients with BRAF V600–mutant NSCLC were enrolled and treated: 13% (n = 8) had received no prior systemic therapy, and 87% (n = 54) had received prior therapies. The objective response rate was 37.1% (95% CI, 25.2% to 50.3%) overall, 37.5% (95% CI, 8.5% to 75.5%) in previously untreated patients, and 37.0% (24.3% to 51.3%) in previously treated patients. Median progression-free survival was 6.5 months (95% CI, 5.2 to 9.0 months), and median overall survival was 15.4 months (95% CI, 9.6 to 22.8 months). The most common all-grade adverse event was nausea (40%). The safety profile of vemurafenib was similar to that observed in melanoma studies. CONCLUSION Vemurafenib showed promising activity in patients with NSCLC harboring BRAF V600 mutations. The safety profile of vemurafenib was similar to previous observations in patients with melanoma. Our results suggest a role for single-agent BRAF inhibition in patients with NSCLC and BRAF V600 mutations.

Abstract Background Treatment options for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) refractory to anthracyclines and taxanes are limited. In a phase III trial, eribulin demonstrated a significant improvement in overall survival compared to treatment of physician’s choice, but had limited tolerability because of neutropenia and peripheral neuropathy. Based on prior studies of alternative treatment schedules with other therapies, we hypothesized that a low-dose metronomic schedule of eribulin would permit patients to remain on treatment more consistently without treatment delays, resulting in longer time to progression, and improved toxicity profile. Methods We conducted a multi-site single arm, phase II trial patients with MBC. All patients were treated with metronomic eribulin (0.9 mg/m2 administered intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle.) Treatment was continued until the patient developed disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or chose to stop the study. Patients must have had prior taxane exposure. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival. Secondary end points were overall survival, response rate, and clinical benefit rate. Exploratory biomarkers were performed to analyze change in levels of circulating endothelial cells (CECs), circulating endothelial precursors, and carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) with response to therapy. Findings We consented 86 patients and 59 were evaluable for final analysis. Median age was 59 years; 78% had HER2 negative tumors. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 3.5 months with overall survival (OS) of 14.3 months. Objective response rate was 15% with clinical benefit rate of 48%. Reported grade 3 neutropenia and peripheral neuropathy were 18% and 5%, respectively. Treatment discontinuation due to toxicity was seen in 3% of patients. Interpretation Metronomic weekly low-dose eribulin is an active and tolerable regimen with significantly less myelosuppression, alopecia, and peripheral neuropathy than is seen with the approved dose and schedule, allowing longer duration of use and disease control, with similar outcomes compared to the standard dose regimen.

9000 Background: In the randomized phase 3 CheckMate 9LA trial (NCT03215706), first-line NIVO + IPI combined with 2 cycles of chemo significantly improved overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR) vs chemo alone (4 cycles). Clinical benefit was observed regardless of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression level and histology. Here we report data with 2 years’ minimum follow-up from this study. Methods: Adult patients (pts) with stage IV / recurrent NSCLC, ECOG performance status ≤ 1, and no known sensitizing EGFR/ALK alterations were stratified by PD-L1 (< 1% vs ≥ 1%), sex, and histology (squamous vs non-squamous) and were randomized 1:1 to NIVO 360 mg Q3W + IPI 1 mg/kg Q6W + chemo (2 cycles; n = 361) or chemo alone (4 cycles; n = 358). Pts with non-squamous NSCLC in the chemo-alone arm could receive pemetrexed maintenance. The primary endpoint was OS. Secondary endpoints included PFS and ORR by blinded independent central review, and efficacy by different PD-L1 levels. Safety was exploratory. Results: At a minimum follow-up of 24.4 months for OS (database lock: Feb 18, 2021), pts treated with NIVO + IPI + chemo continued to derive OS benefit vs chemo, with a median OS of 15.8 months vs 11.0 months, respectively (HR, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.61–0.86]); 2-year OS rates were 38% vs 26%. Median PFS with NIVO + IPI + chemo vs chemo was 6.7 months vs 5.3 months (HR, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.56–0.79]); 8% and 37% of pts who had disease progression received subsequent immunotherapy, respectively. ORR was 38% with NIVO + IPI + chemo vs 25% with chemo. Similar clinical benefit with NIVO + IPI + chemo vs chemo was observed in all randomized pts and across the majority of subgroups, including by PD-L1 expression level (Table) or histology. Any grade and grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events were reported in 92% and 48% of pts in the NIVO + IPI + chemo arm vs 88% and 38% in the chemo arm, respectively. Conclusion: With 2 years’ minimum follow-up, first-line NIVO + IPI + chemo demonstrated durable survival and benefit versus chemo in pts with advanced NSCLC; no new safety signals were identified. Clinical trial information: NCT03215706. [Table: see text]

e16201 Background: Limited systemic treatment options are available for progressive well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NET), also called carcinoid tumors. Given emerging evidence for immunotherapy response in high grade NET including small cell lung cancer, we sought to determine the efficacy of combination immunotherapy with ipilimumab and nivolumab in patients with advanced, progressive, well-differentiated NET in an open label phase II clinical trial. Methods: Eligible patients had well-differentiated, nonfunctional NET of lung, pancreas, or GI origin that had progressed within the past 12 months after at least one line of prior therapy. Patients received nivolumab 240 mg every 2 weeks and ipilimumab 1mg/kg every 6 weeks for up to 2 years. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST v1.1. Using a Simon’s 2-stage design, the study planned to accrue up to 56 patients. Based on published response rates to everolimus of 5%, we hypothesized that this regimen would be considered promising if the true ORR is > 15%. Results: Nine patients were enrolled prior to study closure due to funding, including 6 patients with NET of lung origin, 2 pancreatic, and 1 small bowel (Table). Median age was 71 years. All patients had distant metastatic disease at enrollment, with an average of 2 prior lines of therapy. Four of 9 patients achieved the primary endpoint of confirmed objective response, all of whom have ongoing response with a median duration of 15.4 months. Five of 9 patients, including all 4 responders, experienced immune-related toxicity requiring treatment modification or discontinuation. The trial did not accrue the target of 56 patients, however, objective response in 4 of 9 patients (ORR 44.4%, 90% CI: 16.9-74.9%) excluded the response rate target (15%). Conclusions: The impressive ORR of 44% with a median duration of response exceeding 15 months in this small clinical trial warrants further study of combination CTLA-4 and PD-1 inhibition in previously treated well-differentiated NET. Our ongoing immunologic and genomic correlative analysis in responders and non-responders will help inform future study of immunotherapy in this patient population in need of new systemic therapy approaches.

TPS143 Background: Patients with KRAS and NRAS ( RAS) wild-type mCRC benefit from the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies (Abs) panitumumab and cetuximab, but nearly all patients experience resistance. Blood-based profiling of cell free DNA (cfDNA) can identify genomic alterations that drive acquired EGFR Ab resistance. After discontinuation of anti-EGFR Abs, acquired genomic alterations decay over time to undetectable levels. Some studies have suggested clinical benefit from EGFR Ab rechallenge, but there is limited evidence that EGFR Ab rechallenge improves survival compared to standard of care (SOC) therapies. We hypothesize that cfDNA profiling will identify patients appropriate for panitumumab rechallenge, and that these molecularly selected patients will have improved survival compared to current SOC therapies. Methods: This is a randomized phase II, open label study designed to compare the overall survival (OS) of panitumumab rechallenge versus SOC (investigator choice TAS-102 or regorafenib). Secondary objectives include comparisons of progression free survival, objective response rate, clinical benefit rate, and quality of life as measured by the linear analogue self-assessment (LASA) questionnaire. Eligible patients have radiographically measurable KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF codon 600 wild-type mCRC based on tumor tissue testing, and must have experienced progression or intolerance to treatment with a fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, an anti-VEGF Ab, and an anti-PD-1 Ab if the tumor has mismatch repair deficiency or is MSI-H. Progression after at least 4 months treatment with an anti-EGFR Ab is required. All patients must be enrolled in the COLOMATE cfDNA screening protocol (NCT03765736) and meet molecular eligibility based on Guardant360 cfDNA profiling (absence of amplification of ERBB2, KRAS, NRAS, and MET; absence of mutations of BRAF, EGFR, ERBB2, KRAS, NRAS, and MET [mutant allele frequency > 0.5%]). Greater than 90 days must have elapsed between the most recent treatment with an anti-EGFR Ab and cfDNA profiling. Dosing for all study drugs is according to clinical SOC. 120 patients will be randomized 1:1 to panitumumab rechallenge or SOC. With 83 OS events, this study will have 80% power to detect an improvement in median OS from 6.5 to 10 months (HR=0.65; 1-sided α= 0.15). This study began enrollment in 6/2020. Recruitment is ongoing at 16 sites in the Academic and Community Cancer Research United (ACCRU) network (ACCRU-GI-1623). Clinical trial information: NCT03992456.
