353 Background: Clinical trials have strict eligibility criteria to maintain internal validity. These criteria exclude many patients to whom the trial results are later applied to in clinical practice. Patients that do not meet eligibility criteria are poorly characterized. Methods: mRCC patients treated with VEGF targeted therapy were retrospectively deemed ineligible for clinical trials (according to commonly used inclusion/exclusion criteria) if they had a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) < 70%, brain metastases, non-clear cell histology, hemoglobin ≤ 9 g/dL, creatinine > 2x the upper limit of normal, platelet count of < 100x103/uL, neutrophil count < 1500/mm3 or corrected calcium ≤ 12 mg/dL. Results: 894/2076 (43%) patients were deemed ineligible for clinical trials by the above criteria. Between ineligible versus eligible patients, the response rate, median progression free survival (PFS) and median overall survival of first-line targeted therapy were 21% vs 29%, 5.2 vs 8.8 months and 14.5 vs 28.8 months (all p < 0.0001), respectively. Second-line PFS (if applicable) was 3.2 months in the trial ineligible vs 4.4 months in the trial eligible patients (p = 0.0074). When adjusted by the Heng et al prognostic categories, the hazard ratio for death between trial ineligible vs trial eligible patients was 1.621 (95% CI = 1.431–1.836, p < 0.0001). If only KPS, brain metastases and non-clear cell histology were used as exclusion criteria, 672 (32%) patients were excluded and the results were similar. Conclusions: The number of patients that are ineligible for clinical trials is high and their outcomes are inferior. Designing more inclusive clinical trials for this “ineligible” patient population are needed. [Table: see text]

4536 Background: Clinical trials have strict eligibility criteria that exclude many patients to whom the trial results are later extrapolated to in clinical practice. Methods: mRCC patients treated with VEGF targeted therapy were retrospectively deemed ineligible for clinical trials (according to commonly used inclusion/exclusion criteria) if they had a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) <70%, brain metastases, non-clear cell histology, hemoglobin<=9 g/dL, creatinine >2x the upper limit of normal, platelet count of <100x103/uL, neutrophil count <1500/mm3 or corrected calcium>=12 mg/dL. Results: 894/2076 (43%) patients were deemed ineligible for clinical trials by the above criteria. Between ineligible versus eligible patients, the response rate, median progression free survival (PFS) and median overall survival of first-line targeted therapy were 21% vs 29%, 5.2 vs 8.8 months and 14.5 vs 28.8 months (all p<0.0001), respectively. Second-line PFS (if applicable) was 3.2 months in the trial ineligible vs 4.4 months in the trial eligible patients (p=0.0074). Patients who were excluded due to KPS<70, hemoglobin<=9 g/dL, calcium >=12, brain metastases, and non-clear cell histology, had a hazard ratio (HR) for death of 2.8 (95%CI 2.4-3.4), 1.8 (95%CI 1.4-2.2), 1.8 (95%CI 1.2-2.7), 1.4 (95%CI 1.1-1.8), and 1.4 (95%CI 1.1-1.7), respectively (all p<0.01). When adjusted by the Heng et al prognostic categories, the HR for death between trial ineligible vs trial eligible patients was 1.511 (95%CI=1.335-1.710, p<0.0001). Conclusions: The number of patients that are ineligible for clinical trials is high and their outcomes are inferior. Specific trials addressing the needs of protocol ineligible patients and assessing OS are required. [Table: see text]

5070 Background: IO combination therapies [including IOIO and IO/vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (IOVE) combinations] in mRCC have been approved based on registration clinical trials that have strict eligibility criteria. The clinical outcomes of trial ineligible patients who are treated with first-line IOIO or IOVE combinations are unknown. Methods: Metastatic RCC patients treated with first-line IOIO or IOVE were retrospectively deemed ineligible for clinical trials (according to commonly used inclusion/exclusion criteria in IO trials) if they had a Karnofsky performance status (KPS) < 70%, no clear-cell component, brain metastases, hemoglobin (Hb) < 9 g/dL, eGFR < 40 mL/min, platelet count of < 100,000/mm3, and/or neutrophil count < 1500/mm3. Time to treatment failure (TTF) and overall survival (OS) were calculated from time of starting first-line IO therapy. Results: Overall, 26% (155/592) of patients in the International mRCC Database Consortium (IMDC) were deemed ineligible for clinical trials by the above criteria. Baseline characteristics are listed in Table. The reasons for ineligibility were: no clear-cell component (34%, 53/155), Hb < 9g/dL (28%, 44/155), eGFR < 40 mL/min (19%, 30/155), brain metastases (19%, 29/155), KPS < 70% (14%, 21/155), platelet < 100,000/mm3 (3%, 4/155) and neutrophil count < 1500/mm3 (0%, 0/155). Between ineligible versus eligible patients, the response rate, median TTF and median OS of first-line IOIO or IOVE was 34% vs 46% (p = 0.02), 4.2 vs 9.7 months (p < 0.01), and 25.3 vs 44.4 months (p < 0.01), respectively. When adjusted by the IMDC prognostic categories, the HR for death between trial ineligible and trial eligible patients was 1.50 (95% CI 1.05-2.14). Conclusions: The number of patients that are ineligible for clinical trials is substantial and their outcomes are inferior. These data may guide patient counselling and specific trials addressing the unmet needs of protocol ineligible patients are warranted. [Table: see text]

315 Background: Combination therapy with nivolumab + ipilimumab (NIVO+IPI) has demonstrated long-term efficacy and tolerability for patients (pts) with previously untreated advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC). Most pivotal clinical trials in pts with aRCC have excluded pts with low Karnofsky performance status (KPS; < 70%). CheckMate 920 is a multi-arm, phase IIIb/IV, open-label clinical trial of NIVO+IPI treatment in pts enrolled in a community practice setting with aRCC and a high unmet medical need. We present safety and efficacy results for the cohort of pts with aRCC of any histology and KPS 50%–60% from CheckMate 920 (NCT02982954). Methods: Pts with previously untreated advanced/metastatic RCC and KPS 50%–60% received NIVO 3 mg/kg + IPI 1 mg/kg Q3W × 4 doses followed by 480 mg NIVO Q4W for ≤ 2 years or until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was incidence of grade ≥ 3 immune-mediated adverse events (imAEs) within 100 days of last dose of study drug. Key secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST v1.1 (both per investigator). Exploratory endpoints included overall survival (OS). Results: Of 25 treated pts with KPS 50%–60%, 76% were men; median age was 67 years (range, 34–81). IMDC risk was favorable in 0%, intermediate in 32%, and poor in 68% of pts; 84% had clear cell and 16% had non-clear cell RCC histology. With a minimum follow-up of 25 months, median duration of therapy (95% CI) was 2.3 months (2.1–7.7) for NIVO and 2.1 months (2.1–2.1) for IPI. The median number of doses (range) received was 4 (1–27) for NIVO and 4 (1–4) for IPI; 76% of pts received ≥ 4 NIVO doses and 68% received all 4 IPI doses. The only grade 3–4 imAEs by category were hepatitis (4.0%) and adrenal insufficiency (4.0%). No grade 5 imAEs occurred. Overall, 4 (16%) pts discontinued due to any-grade adverse events (n = 1 each for elevated AST, malignant neoplasm progression, back pain, and acetabulum fracture). Of 18 evaluable pts, ORR was 33.3% (95% CI, 13.3–59.0); no pts had a complete response and 6 had partial response. Median time to objective response was 4.5 months (range, 2.5–24.7). Median duration of objective response was 20.6 months (range, 0.03+–24.2+). Median PFS was 4.6 months (95% CI, 2.5–14.8). Median OS was 15.6 months (95% CI, 5.3–25.1). Conclusions: NIVO+IPI demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and promising antitumor activity in pts with previously untreated aRCC and KPS 50%–60%. The combination was tolerated at a dose intensity similar to that observed in clinical trials conducted in pts with higher KPS (≥ 70%). These data support the value of NIVO+IPI in pts who may not be considered ideal candidates for this therapy and consequently may have limited treatment options.

326 Background: Patients with brain metastases from advanced RCC treated in the targeted therapy era are not well characterized. Methods: Data from patients with mRCC treated with targeted therapy were collected through the International mRCC Database Consortium from 6 centers. Results: One hundred six out of 705 (15%) patients with mRCC had brain metastases. Forty-seven patients had brain metastases at the start of first-line anti-VEGF therapy and the rest developed metastases during follow-up. Of the patients with brain metastases, 6%, 68%, and 26% were in the favorable, intermediate and poor prognosis groups, respectively, per the Heng et al JCO 2009 criteria. Ninety percent had cerebral metastases, 17% had cerebellar metastases, 40% had a Karnofsky performance status (KPS) <80%, and 81% had symptoms of brain metastases. The median largest size and number of brain metastases was 1.8 cm (range 0.2–6.6) and 1 (range 1–20), respectively. Patients were treated with first-line sunitinib (n=77), sorafenib (n=23), bevacizumab (n=5), and temsirolimus (n=1). Local disease treatment included whole brain radiotherapy (81%), stereotactic radiosurgery (25%), and neurosurgery (25%). The brain metastases of 59 patients were evaluable and based on the local treatment and/or targeted therapy achieved 7 (12%) complete responses, 23 (39%) partial responses, 14 (24%) patients with stable disease, and 15 (25%) patients with progressive disease in the brain metastases. Patients with more than 4 brain metastases vs. those with no more than 4 have an overall survival time from diagnosis of brain metastasis of 3.9 vs. 15.4 months (p=0.0051). Previous nephrectomy, sarcomatoid, and non-clear cell histology are not associated with development of brain metastases. On multivariable analysis, KPS<80% (p=0.0139), diagnosis to treatment with targeted therapy <1 year (p=0.0012), and higher number of brain metastases (p=0.0311) were associated with worse survival from diagnosis of brain metastases. Conclusions: In patients with brain metastases from RCC, KPS at start of therapy, diagnosis to treatment time and number of brain metastases may be prognostic factors for overall survival.

e21015 Background: PD-1 monoclonal antibodies are promising immunotherapies approved for treatment of patients (pts) with advanced melanoma. As the first US FDA approved PD-1 antibody, pembrolizumab (pembro) has demonstrated efficacy and safety in clinical trial settings. However, patterns of real world utilization and pt outcomes associated with pembro are limited. Methods: Adult pts with advanced melanoma who initiated pembro between 9/1/ 2014-3/31/2016 were identified retrospectively fromelectronic health records (EHR) of McKesson Specialty Health and followed through 9/ 30/2016. Pts in clinical trials were excluded. Demographic, disease, treatment characteristics and reasons for treatment discontinuation of pembro were abstracted from structured data elements of the EHR with further supplementation of unstructured data within the patient chart (progress notes, radiology scan reports). Overall survival (OS) and physician-reported progression free survival (PFS) from pembro initiation were analyzed using Kaplan Meier analysis. Results: 182 pts, with a median follow-up of 9.9 mos (range = 0.0-25.0), were included. Median age at pembro initiation was 66.0 yrs; 30.8% had an elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH); 23.6% had brain metastases and 65.4% had an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. The most common reason for pembro discontinuation was progression (45.5%) followed by treatment-related toxicity (24.4%). In the overall population, median PFS from pembro initiation was 4.2 mos (95% CI = 3.2-5.3). Median OS was 19.4 mos (14.0-NR) with 12 and 24-month survival probabilities of 61.4% (95% CI = 53.4-68.5) and 43.9% (95% CI = 31.1-55.9). In multivariable analyses, characteristics predictive of worse survival included receipt of pembro at a later line of therapy (HR = 3.36, p = 0.0013 for 3L+), presence of brain metastases (HR = 2.67, p = 0.0007) and elevated LDH (HR = 4.10, p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The study results are consistent with those from pembro clinical trials (KeyNote001) and are in support of the effectiveness of pembro in real world treatment of advanced melanoma. Presence of brain metastases, elevated LDH, and use of pembro 3L+ were associated with worse survival outcome.

4517 Background: Previous clinical trials of patients (pts) with aRCC, including CheckMate 214, have mostly excluded pts with brain metastases. However, antitumor activity in pts with brain metastases has been observed in pts with melanoma treated with NIVO 1 mg/kg + IPI 3mg/kg and pts with non-small cell lung cancer treated with NIVO 240 mg + IPI 1mg/kg. CheckMate 920 is an ongoing, phase 3b/4 clinical trial of NIVO + IPI treatment in pts with aRCC with a high unmet medical need. Here, we present the safety and efficacy interim results for the cohort of pts with brain metastases. Methods: Pts with previously untreated aRCC of any histology, with asymptomatic brain metastases (not on corticosteroids or receiving radiation), and Karnofsky performance status ≥70% were assigned to treatment with NIVO 3 mg/kg + IPI 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks for 4 doses, followed by NIVO 480 mg every 4 weeks. Pts were treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or for a maximum of 2 years. The primary endpoint was the incidence of high-grade immune-mediated adverse events (IMAEs). Key secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST v1.1 per investigator. Exploratory endpoints included additional safety analyses and overall survival (OS). Results: Overall, 28 patients were enrolled in the brain metastases cohort. With a minimum follow-up of 6.47 months, grade 3-4 IMAEs within 100 days of last dose were reported in 6 cases. The grade 3-4 IMAEs observed in ≥ 1 patient were diarrhea, colitis, diabetic ketoacidosis, immune-mediated hepatitis, hypophysitis, and rash of any type (n = 1 each). No treatment-related grade 5 IMAEs were reported. ORR by RECIST v1.1 per investigator in all treated subjects was 28.6% (95% CI 13.2–48.7). Median PFS in all treated subjects was 9.0 months (95% CI 2.9–not estimable [NE]). Median OS has not been reached (95% CI 13.1–NE). Conclusions: In pts with aRCC and brain metastases who are often excluded from clinical trials, NIVO + IPI treatment showed a safety profile consistent with previous reports of this dosing regimen, with encouraging antitumor activity. Clinical trial information: NCT02982954.

Safety And Efficacy

TPS2070 Background: Recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) after chemoradiotherapy has a dismal outcome with very limited treatment options. Addition of reirradiation to bevacizumab appears to improve progression-free survival (PFS) but does not improve overall survival (OS). Immune checkpoint inhibitors of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) pathway appear to have limited single-agent activity for rGBM due to its immunesuppressive microenvironment. Indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is an inducible and rate-limiting enzyme that catabolizes tryptophan (Trp) into kynurenine (Kyn). IDO1 is over-expressed in 50̃90% of GBM patients, and high IDO1 levels correlate with reduced OS. Epacadostat is a highly potent and selective oral inhibitor of IDO1 and may increase tumor sensitivity to anti-PD-1 blockade. Retifanlimab is a humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody directed against PD-1. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combining retifanlimab plus or minus epacadostat with reirradiation and bevacizumab for rGBM patients. Methods: This is an open-label nonrandomized phase II study of two sequential cohorts for bevacizumab-naïve adults with rGBM: retifanlimab + bevacizumab+ radiation (cohort A), and retifanlimab + epacadostat + bevacizumab + radiation (cohort B). Each cohort will enroll 24 evaluable patients. Key eligibility criteria include candidates for reirradiation and bevacizumab, age ≥ 18 years, Karnofsky performance status ≥ 60%, and dexamethasone dose ≤ 4 mg/day. The primary endpoint is OS. Secondary endpoints include PFS, neurologic functions, and toxicity. The correlative endpoints include studies assess the anti-glioma immune response, serum Kyn/Trp ratio, and RNA expression of IDO1 and PD-L1 from available tissue. The trial is actively enrolling. At the time of abstract submission, 16 of the planned 24 patients in Cohort A have been enrolled. Clinical trial information: NCT03532295. [Table: see text]

ObjectivesThe most appropriate treatments for brain metastases from ovarian cancer have not been established mainly because of its rarity. The objective of this study was to describe clinical results of treatment and prognostic factors of patients with brain metastases from ovarian cancer treated at a single institution.Materials and MethodsWe retrieved information from the electronic medical records of 56 consecutive patients (2.8%) with brain metastases, from a total of 2008 patients with ovarian cancer. Endpoints were the pattern of treatment failure, progression-free survival, and overall survival (OS).ResultsRadiation was the most common initial treatment for brain metastases (59%), followed by surgery (23%). The median progression-free survival was 9.8 months. Radiological progression was confirmed in 20 patients: 7 had leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (37%), 8 had local recurrence, and 5 had distant recurrence. Median OS was 11.25 months, and the 1-year OS rate was 48.2%. Patients received surgery for single metastasis as initial treatment showed median OS of 24.1 months, which was significantly prolonged compared with the other patients (P = 0.0002). Of the 48 patients who died, 29 (60%) died of systemic disease and 7 (15%) died of central nervous system progression. Karnofsky Performance Status greater than or equal to 70, control of systemic cancer, serous histology, and surgery for brain metastases were associated with improved OS in multivariable analysis (P < 0.05).ConclusionsSurgical resection for single or symptomatic brain metastases from ovarian cancer prolonged OS significantly. Multimodality treatment, including control of systemic cancer, appeared to be an important factor in prolonging OS.

469 Background: The mTOR inhibitor everolimus is approved for the treatment of mRCC following failure of VEGF-targeted therapy. To evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of everolimus following the first VEGF-targeted therapy in routine clinical practice, we conducted the prospective, noninterventional CHANGE study in Germany. Methods: Patients (pts) with mRCC (any histology) were registered at the time of everolimus initiation, or within 90 days thereof, following treatment with either VEGFR-TKI or bevacizumab. Other previous systemic therapies (e.g., cytokines) were permitted. Pts received everolimus 10 mg/d according to the summary product characteristics until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Study objectives included assessing treatment duration, time to progression (TTP), progression-free survival (PFS), Karnofsky performance status (KPS), and safety. Results: 334 pts were documented at 116 German sites between August 2009 and January 2012 (median age, 68 years; 75% male; median KPS, 80%; 88% clear cell histology). At the start of first-line therapy, MSKCC risk status was favorable in 35%, intermediate in 56%, and poor in 9%. Effectiveness results are shown in the table. In the safety population (n=318), median time to ≥10% deterioration in KPS was 8.4 months (95% CI, 6.1-10.1 months); the most common AEs (any grade) were dyspnea (17%), anemia (14%), and fatigue (12%). Treatment adherence was high, with <2% of patients per visit showing <50% intake of the expected doses. Conclusions: The CHANGE study demonstrates favorable effectiveness and tolerability for everolimus when given in routine clinical practice to pts with mRCC. Our data confirm the use of everolimus as a standard second-line therapy following VEGF-targeted treatment. [Table: see text]

696 Background: A number of treatments for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have been FDA approved since December, 2005. Trials evaluating these agents excluded non-clear cell histologies and therefore the efficacy of these treatments remains unclear in patients (pts) with metastatic non-clear cell RCC (mncRCC). Methods: This is a single arm Phase II study designed to determine the efficacy of pazopanib in mncRCC. Treatment was pazopanib 800 mg by mouth daily until progression or intolerability of treatment. Dose reductions were allowed for toxicity with dose level -1 being 600 mg daily and dose level -2, 400 mg daily. Cycles were every 28 days. Main eligibility criteria included: (1) age ³ 18 years old; (2) histologic confirmation of ncRCC; (3) ECOG Performance Status (PS) 0, 1, or 2; (4) up to one prior treatment for mncRCC (5) measurable or non-measurable metastatic disease per RECIST criteria. The primary endpoint was overall survival rate at 12 months. Secondary endpoints were best tumor response rates after two cycles, PFS, OS and toxicity. Results: 38 pts were enrolled between May 16, 2013 and February 1, 2018. 35 pts were evaluable for primary endpoint. Median age 63 years old and 22/35 (62.9%) were male. Most common histology was papillary RCC, 14/35 (40%), and most common number of metastatic sites was 1. 29/35 (82.9%) had prior nephrectomy and 30/35 (85.7%) had no prior systemic therapy. Median number of cycles was 5. 12-month OS was 65.7% (90% CI, 50.5-78.9%). Best response in first 2 cycles: PR 11%, SD 60%, PD 9%, not evaluated 20%. Median PFS was 7.5 months (90% CI, 5.0-11.0); median OS 18.9 months (90% CI, 13.0-NE). Grade 3 / 4 AEs seen in 25 pts with hypertension, transaminitis and abdominal pain being most common (seen in >10%). Conclusions: There are limited data about the efficacy of available therapies for mncRCC. This study shows that pazopanib has similar efficacy compared to historical data in clinical trials using other TKIs in mncRCC. The safety profile of pazopanib in pts with mncRCC was found to be similar to that found in prior clinical trials studying pazopanib. Our findings warrant further investigation into the utility of pazopanib in metastatic ncRCC. Clinical trial information: NCT01767636.
