Clinical Trial Information

2019^ Background: Patients (pts) with GBM with unmethylated MGMT have a worse prognosis than those with methylated MGMT. Novel approaches for this poor risk group are warranted. The Brain Tumor Trials Collaborative (BTTC) performed a phase II trial evaluating standard chemoradiation followed by bevacizumab and erlotinib in patients with MGMT unmethylated GBM. EGFR and VEGFR are upregulated during radiation suggesting that this combination could be more effective than post-radiation adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ). Methods: After informed consent, adult patients with supratentorial GBM, KPS ≥ 70 and > 1 cm2 tumor block for MGMT promoter analysis were screened. Only tumors with confirmed unmethylated MGMT promoter were enrolled. All patients received RT + TMZ and then approximately 4 weeks after RT they received bevacizumab 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks and erlotinib 150 mg/day, continuously. One cycle was 4 weeks; evaluation by MRI was every 2 cycles. Treatment continued until disease progression or intolerable adverse events. Results: 115 patients were screened; 48 were enrolled (2 unevaluable: 1 for an infratentoral GBM and 1 withdrew after 7 days of treatment) with 29 men, 17 women. Median age was 56 yrs (29-75); median KPS was 90 (70-90). The median number of cycles was 8 (2-38) with 4 patients remaining on trial at the time of analysis. Objective responses: 4 CR, 12 PR and 30 SD. Median PFS is 7.3 months (95% CI (6.4, 11)) and median OS 14.2 months (95% CI (10.7, not reached)). There were no unexpected toxicities; grade 3/4 rate < 5%. Conclusions: Adjuvant bevacizumab and erlotinib in GBM with unmethylated MGMT is well tolerated. Preliminary efficacy data is comparable with outcomes in similar unmethylated MGMT patient populations from the EORTC/NCIC and RTOG 0525 studies. Tissue correlation is being performed. Clinical trial information: NCT00720356.

380 Background: 2nd-line therapy of KRASm CRC is limited; targeting downstream signal transduction enzymes is rational here. Use of the MEK inhibitor SEL is supported by preclinical and clinical evidence. We designed a dose-finding/phase II study of IRI plus SEL in KRASm CRC. Methods: Eligibility included: KRASm or BRAFm CRC with measurable disease progressing after 1st-line therapy with an oxalipatin-based chemo + bevacizumab regimen, PS 0-1, acceptable organ function. Patients were treated with IRI 180 mg/m2 iv q2w and SEL 50-75 mg po bid. First 3 patients of run-in portion were treated with SEL 50 mg and if no DLTs, next 3-6 patients at 75 mg po bid. If no DLTs, then phase II dose of SEL 75 mg po bid would be used. Primary endpoint was RECIST 1.0, investigator determined response rate (RR). As compared to the historical RR of 4% (and median PFS 2.5 mos) for 2nd-line FOLFIRI (Tournigand), with alpha 0.10 & beta 0.90, a sample size of 45 would have the power to detect improvement in RR to 15%, and 79% power to demonstrate improved med PFS to 4.0 mos. Early stopping would occur for responses of 0 of 20 patients. Results: 32 patients were entered and treated. Median age was 54 (40-71) yrs, 18 were male and 22 Caucasian, all KRASm. The first 3 tolerated SEL 50 mg bid without SAE and the remaining 29 were treated at 75 bid. Median number of cycles on study was 3.5 and median TTP approximately 4.0 months. Observed grade 3 AEs included: diarrhea 3, fatigue 2, neutropenia 2, and 1 each PLTS, enteritis, GI bleed, rash; one grade 4 ANC. Grade 2 AEs: diarrhea 12, rash 8 pts. Best response (investigator reported) included 3 (9%) confirmed PR and 15 (47%) SD [including 2 unconfirmed PR] of 32 entered. Six patients were on study for > 6 months (6, 6, 8, 9, 12.5, 14.5 months). The study was terminated early due to non-protocol considerations. These data are not yet verified. Conclusions: Despite early termination, the higher RR and PFS noted for 32 patients with KRASm CRC treated with IRI and SEL as 2nd-line therapy of CRC (and treated for up to 14.5 months), are promising compared with historical controls. The strategy of MEK inhibition in KRAS mutated CRC should be explored further. Clinical trial information: NCT01116271.

Advanced Gist

10563 Background: P inhibits activation of the Akt pathway which results in apoptosis and block cancer cell proliferation. Since AKT is a molecule downstream of Kit, its inhibition may overcome Kit-dependent imatinib resistance. We performed a phase II trial to assess antitumor activity of perifosine in patients with advanced GIST who were refractory to imatinib mesylate. Methods: Pts with Kit(+) advanced GIST who have PD on IM were eligible. Pts continued their current dose of IM and were randomized to one of two dosing schedules of P (Arm A: 100 mg p.o. qd x 28 + IM or Arm B: 900 mg [300 mg p.o tid] qweekly + qd IM). A Bayesian approach was utilized to assess a target response rate or 20% with an unacceptable toxicity rate of 15% or less. Response was measured at q8 wk intervals by RECIST and Choi criteria. The primary endpoint was to determine the efficacy of P with IM in pts with advanced GIST with PD while receiving IM. Results: From 8/2005 to 7/2008, 41 pts were accrued. After 1 pt exclusion and 2 cross-overs, 22 pts were in Arm A and 18 pts in Arm B. Median age was 58 (range, 32–82), 51% were male, and median ECOG PS was 1. The most common primary site of disease and metastasis was the stomach (29%) and liver (66%), respectively. KIT genotype was available for 22 pts(54%); 5(12%) WT, 13(32%) exon 11 mutations, and 4(10%) exon 9 mutations. The median number of cycles was 2 (range, 1–24). By Choi and RECIST, 30 pts(73%) and 36 pts(87%) were available for response, respectively. No CR was identified but the PR rate was 4/36 (11%) by Choi (4 PR, 9 SD) and 0/36 (0%) by RECIST (16 SD). 4/5 (80%) of pts with WT KIT appeared to benefit (Choi: 1 PR, 3 SD; RECIST: 4 SD). Median PFS and OS for 40 pts were 2.2 months and 18.3 months. No difference in PFS was noted for the 2 schedules. Toxicity was assessed in 39 pts; 46 grade 3 events and 4 grade 4 events (ALT elevation, blurred vision, fatigue, and mood alteration) were noted. The most common grade 3 event was fatigue (20%). Three pts (7%) were removed from the study for toxicity (Arm A:1 pt, Arm B:2 pts). Conclusions: The addition of P to IM has minimal activity in IM-refractory GIST although its activity in GIST with WT KIT may be further investigated. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

The Cost

e15624 Background: There is no established 2nd line therapy for patients (pts) with advanced gastroesophageal (GE) cancer. In 2004, the Danish government initiated a national health programme for pts with advanced cancer. Non- proven therapy may be offered after approval by an expert panel appointed by the National Board of Health that subsequently finances the cost of treatment. This programme has had a major impact on the management of cancer pts in Denmark and has accelerated the introduction and implementation of new therapies. Inspired by the excellent results in colorectal cancer a combination of cetuximab and irinotecan (CetIri) was chosen for platinum-resistant GE cancer. While awaiting approval of a phase II protocol CetIri was offered at a single institution. We report our preliminary experience with biweekly CetIri as 2nd line therapy in pts with GE cancer. Methods: All pts had histologically confirmed GE cancer (adeno- or squamous cell carcinoma) and all pts had previously received first line platinum based therapy. Pts received CetIri (cetuximab 500 mg/m2and irinotecan 180 mg/m2day 1) every 2nd week until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Response rate was evaluated by the investigator according to RECIST every 8th week. Toxicity was prospectively evaluated according to NCIC-CTC 3.0. Results: From December 2007 to August 2008, 31 consecutive pts was treated with CetIri. Median age was 62 years (33–76). Median performance status was 1 (0–2). Localisation of primary was: Esophagus 10%, GE junction 64%, gastric 26%. Twenty-seven pts (87%) had adenocarcimona. Median number of cycles were 6 (1–21). Most important grade 2–4 toxicities were non-haematological toxicity as diarrhea (25%), nausea (21%) and vomiting (11%). Three pts (11%) had grade 3 leukopenia, 1 had febrile neutropenia. Two pts had PR. Median PFS was 3.2 months. Fourteen pts (45%) received at least 6 courses (3 month of therapy). After a median follow-up of 6 month 5 pts continue CetIri without sign of PD. Conclusions: Biweekly CetIri is a convenient and well-tolerated 2nd line regimen in pts with GE cancer. Predictive factors are needed to select which pts will benefit from therapy. A confirmatory phase II study is ongoing. [Table: see text]

7109 Background: We previously reported results of treating MF patients with 3 cycles of 300, 400, or 500 mg of SAR302503 (NCT01420770; Blood 2012;120:21 Abs 2837). This is a report of efficacy and safety after 6 cycles. Methods: Patients ≥18 years of age with intermediate-2 or high-risk MF and splenomegaly were eligible. SAR302503 is administered orally, once a day in consecutive 4-week cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Spleen response (≥35% reduction in spleen volume vs baseline) was assessed by MRI/CT (blinded independent central review). Results: 31 patients were enrolled (n=10 in the 300 and 400 mg groups; n=11 to 500 mg). Risk status was balanced in all but the 300 mg group (70% high-risk). Most patients were JAK2V617F positive (90%) and blood transfusion independent (81%). Spleen response rates at the end of cycle (EOC) 6 (secondary end point) were 30% (3/10) in the 300 mg group, 60% (6/10) with 400 mg, and 55% (6/11) with 500 mg compared with EOC 3 rates of 30%, 50%, and 64%, respectively. One patient on 500 mg who had a spleen response at EOC 3 (39% reduction), but not at EOC 6 (25% reduction) had dose reductions to 200 mg due to anemia. Median number of cycles was 13 (range, 2–17) and 24 patients have been on treatment >12 months. SAR302503 reduced baseline constitutional symptoms at the EOC 3, with the greatest responses for night sweats in 14/15 patients (93%), itching 10/14 (71%), early satiety and abdominal pain, each in 10/18 (56%). Most common adverse events were anemia and diarrhea, with grade 3–4 rates of 58% and 13%, respectively. The rate of grade 3–4 thrombocytopenia was 16%. There was no grade 3–4 neutropenia. The diarrhea rate tended to decrease after the first 2 treatment cycles. There have been no reports of withdrawal syndrome after stopping SAR302503. Median JAK2V617F allele burden was 93% at baseline, 87% at the EOC 3, and 78% at EOC 6 in 19/26 patients who had available samples. The expression of 22 of 97 cytokines was significantly regulated (≥1.5 fold difference; p<0.05) after cycle 1. Conclusions: In this Phase II trial, continued treatment with SAR302503 was associated with clinically meaningful reductions in splenomegaly. Symptom data will be updated. Clinical trial information: NCT01420770.

3587 Background: There are few therapies for second-line KRASm CRC. Inhibiting downstream signal transduction may offer therapeutic options. Use of selumetinib (MEK 1/2 inhibitor; AstraZeneca) is supported by preclinical and clinical evidence. We designed a dose-finding/phase II study of IRI + SEL in KRASm CRC. Methods: Eligibility included: KRASm or BRAFm CRC with measurable disease progressing after 1st-line therapy with an oxalipatin + bevacizumab regimen; PS 0-1; acceptable organ function. Patients (Pts) were treated with IRI 180 mg/m2 iv q2w and SEL 50 or 75 mg po bid. Dose escalation was traditional 3+3 (50 mg bid SEL, then 75 mg bid). In Part B/phase II, primary endpoint was PI-determined response rate (RR) by RECIST. A Simon 2-stage design allowed expansion to 45 pts if ≥1 responses in 20 pts was seen; ≥4/45 responses would be encouraging, when compared to historical RR of 4% (and median PFS 2.5 mo) [EPIC, Sobrero 2008], with approximately 90% power to detect an ORR of 15% at the 10% alpha level (one-sided). Results: N =32 pts entered; 31 treated. Median age was 54 (27-75) yrs; 18 male and 24 Caucasian. The first 3 pts tolerated SEL 50 mg bid without DLT and the remaining 28 were treated at 75 bid. Median number of cycles on study was 3.5 and median PFS was 3.4 mo. Grade 3 AEs included (N): diarrhea 3, fatigue 2, neutropenia 2, and 1 each thrombocytopenia, enteritis, GI bleed, rash. There was one Grade 4 neutropenia. The best PI-reported response included 3 (10%) confirmed PR and 16 (52%) SD [including 1 unconfirmed PR]. 6 patients were on study for more than 6 (up to 22) months. The study was terminated early due to non-protocol considerations. Conclusions: In this small study, the RR of 10% and med PFS of 3.4 mo in pts with KRASm CRC treated with IRI + SEL in 2nd line are promising compared with prior studies in non-selected patients. MEK inhibition in KRASm CRC should be explored further. Supported in part by AstraZeneca.

9507 Background: Brain metastases (BMts) are a major cause of morbidity/death in MEL. We report the first efficacy data in MEL patients (pts) with BMts who received NIVO+IPI in study CheckMate 204. Methods: In this multicenter US trial (NCT02320058), MEL pts with ≥1 measurable BMt 0.5-3.0 cm and no neurologic symptoms or steroid Rx received NIVO 1 mg/kg + IPI 3 mg/kg Q3W x 4, then NIVO 3 mg/kg Q2W until progression or toxicity. Pts with severe adverse events (AEs) during NIVO+IPI could receive NIVO when toxicity resolved; stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) was allowed for brain oligo-progression if an assessable BMt remained. The primary endpoint was intracranial (IC) clinical benefit rate (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD] > 6 months). The planned 90-pt accrual is complete; we report efficacy and updated safety for 75 pts with disease assessment before the Nov 2016 database lock. Results: Median age was 59 yrs (range 22–79). Median number of induction doses was 3; 26 pts (35%) received 4 NIVO+IPI doses and 38 pts (51%) began NIVO maintenance. Response data are reported at a median follow-up of 6.3 months (Table). The IC objective response rate (ORR) was 56% (95% CI: 44–68); 19% of pts had a complete response. IC and extracranial responses were largely concordant. Rx-related grade 3/4 AEs occurred in 48% of pts, 8% neurologic, including headache and syncope. Only 3 pts (4%) stopped Rx for Rx-related neurologic AEs. One pt died of immune-related myocarditis. Conclusions: In CheckMate 204, prospectively designed to investigate NIVO+IPI in MEL pts with BMts, NIVO+IPI had high IC antitumor activity with objective responses in 56% of pts, CR in 19%, and no unexpected neurologic safety signals. The favorable safety and high anti-melanoma activity of NIVO+IPI may represent a new Rx paradigm for pts with asymptomatic MEL BMts and could change practice to avoid or delay whole brain RT or SRT.

e19023 Background: Bevacizumab (B), in addition to platinum-based chemotherapy, is indicated for 1st-line treatment of p with advanced NSCLC other than predominantly squamous cell histology. B has been shown to improve progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) when combined with cisplatin/gemcitabine and carboplatin/paclitaxel, respectively. However, there are limited data on the safety and efficacy of B in combination with other widely used chemotherapy doublets for NSCLC. This is a single-arm, open- labeled, single-stage phase II trial of cisplatin (C), docetaxel (D) and B for NSCLC. Methods: Eligibility criteria: chemo- naïve, stage IIIB wet or IV, non-squamous NSCLC, PS 0–1, no brain metastases and no history of gross hemoptysis. P received D (75 mg/m2), C (75 mg/m2), and B (15 mg/kg iv) on day 1 every 3 weeks for up to 6 cycles, followed by B 15 mg/kg alone every 3 weeks until disease progression or toxicity. Primary endpoint: PFS. Results: 50 p were enrolled (enrollment completed): 24% female, median age 60 (36–74), PS 1: 64%, adenocarcinoma: 72%; stage IV: 92%. Two p did not start treatment. Median follow-up is 5.3 months (range 0–13.6). Median number of cycles of B was 7 (range 0–18). 56% completed 6 cycles of treatment; 24% received ≥ 12 cycles of B. Most frequent grade ≥ 3 toxicities: diarrhea (14.6%), fatigue (14.6%), dyspnea (9.8%), anorexia (4.9%), alopecia (4.9%), esophagitis (4.9%), constipation (4.9%), mucositis (12.2%), proteinuria (4.9%); hematological toxicities: neutropenia (22%), febrile neutropenia (9.8%), leucopenia (14.6%), lymphopenia (4.9%). Of interest, 41.5% developed grade <3 epistaxis and 17% hypertension (1 p grade 3). One p died due to hemoptysis. 46 p were evaluable for response: 29 PRs (ORR: 63%). 18 of 48 p have experienced progression or death with a median SLP of 7.8 months (95% CI: 6.6-NR). Median OS is 13.5 months (95% CI: 12.7–13.6; 81.2% p censored); 1-year survival is 83.9% (95% CI: 67.4%-92.5%). Conclusions: Treatment with C, D and B, followed by maintenance B in 1st line of advanced non-squamous NSCLC shows an acceptable toxicity profile and promising efficacy. Final results will be presented. [Table: see text]

Abstract Introduction and objectives : Plitidepsin is a cyclic depsipeptide originally isolated from the marine tunicate, Aplidium albicans. It appears very potent against multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Specifically, it was observed that it was active against a broad panel of 35 human MM cell lines, which included MM cells resistant to conventional anti-MM agents and novel agents (i.e. thalidomide, bortezomib). Plitidepsin also induced cell death in primary MM tumor cells freshly isolated from patients resistant to thalidomide or its analogs and/or proteasome inhibitors. Phase I has been completed exploring 4 different schedules of administration. Muscle and liver (transaminases and/or alkaline phosphatase) toxicities were the main DLTs. Hematological toxicity was not observed at the recommended dose. The aim of this trial was to explore the activity of plitidepsin in patients with previously treated refractory/relapsed MM. Material and Methods: This is a non-randomized two-stage Phase II, multicenter, clinical and pharmacokinetic trial, with Aplidin® (APLD) 5 mg/m2 as a 3 h intravenous infusion every 2 weeks, with antiemetic and antihistaminic prophylaxis. In the first stage 16 patients evaluable for efficacy were included. At least one response was requested in order to proceed with the second stage, in which a total of 37 patients will be included. Results: Between June’04 and June’05, 19 patients have been enrolled and data are available for 18 patient (7 men and 11 women, median age was 65.7y, range 48–82). Patients were previously relapsed/refractory. Prior treatments included: stem cell transplantation 64.7%, thalidomide 35.28% and bortezomib 17.64%. The median previous chemotherapy lines received were 3, range 1–6. The APLD median number of cycles received 4, range 1–16. Thirteen patients are currently evaluable for efficacy. One patient (7.7%) achieved a partial response (PR) with a 70% reduction in M-component lasting 8 months. Stable disease lasting between 3–5 months was observed in 3 patients (23.0%). In 2 patients (15.38%) a stabilization lasting 2.5 months was stated and the remaining 7 patients (53.8%) progressed. NCI-CTC grade 3–4 related toxicities were reported for n=17 patients and were mainly fatigue in 2 patients (11.8%), myalgia in 1 patient (5.9%), elevation of CPK in 1 patient (5.9%) and transient transaminases increase in 9 patients (52.9%). Significant hematological toxicity did not occurred in spite of 2 patients included and treated with thrombopenia grade 3–4 and 2 patient with neutropenia grade 3. Conclusions: First stage data shows that APLD presents hints of activity in patients with refractory/relapsed MM, with acceptable toxicity profile, thus meeting the criteria for proceeding to second stage recruitment. The absence of significant hematological toxicity is a well known feature of this drug and is being confirmed in this trial.

e19089 Background: Bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody, improves response rates and prolongs survival in p with non squamous NSCLC when combined with carboplatin-paclitaxel or cisplatin-gemcitabine. This single-arm, open-labeled phase II trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of B in combination with another widely used chemotherapy doublet for NSCLC: cisplatin and vinorelbine. Methods: Chemotherapy-naïve p diagnosed with stage IIIB or IV non squamous NSCLC received cisplatin (80 mg/m2), vinorelbine (25 mg/m2 IV days 1 and 8) and B (15 mg/kg IV) on day 1 every 3 weeks for up to 6 cycles followed by B 15 mg/kg alone every 3 weeks until disease progression. Main eligibility criteria were: PS 0–1, no brain metastases, no history of hemoptysis, stable cardiac condition and no full dose anticoagulation. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival and secondary endpoints were RR, duration of response, OS, 1-year survival and safety profile of the combination. Results: 38 p have been enrolled in the study and data of 27 p have been included in this analysis. P characteristics were: male 66.7%; median age 57 years (range 41–74); ECOG PS 0/1 (%) 33.3/66.7; adenocarcinoma/other (%) 74.1/25.9; stage IIIB/IV (%) 25.9/74.1. Median number of cycles for B/cisplatin/vinorelbine was 4.0 (range 1–6) and median number of cycles for B maintenance was 2 (range 1–4). 17 p were evaluable for response according to RECIST criteria: PR 29.4% and SD 41.2%. With a median follow-up of 3.9 months (range 0.7–11.1), median PFS was 4.6 months (95% CI: 2.6–6.6) and median OS has not been reached yet. Hematological toxicities were: 1 p gr. 3 anemia; 2 p gr. 3 and 2 p gr. 4 leucopenia; 10 p gr. 3, 1 p gr. 4 neutropenia and 3 p febrile neutropenia. Most common grade 3/4 non hematological toxicities were: vomiting (1p gr. 4), high blood pressure, asthenia and hyperglycemia. 1 p experienced gr. 4 abdominal pain, 1 p. gr. 4 constipation, 1 p. gr. 4 nausea and 1 p gr. 4 respiratory infection. No grade 3/4 hemoptysis were reported. Conclusions: This interim analysis shows that B in combination with cisplatin and vinorelbine is safe and well tolerated and has a promising activity in chemo-naïve p with non squamous NSCLC. Survival data will be updated. [Table: see text]

e14623 Background: Docetaxel is an active agent for treatment of metastatic gastric carcinoma. We launched this phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of docetaxel, cisplatin and capecitabine (DCX) combination in patients (pts) with metastatic gastric carcinoma. Methods: Pts with metastatic gastric carcinoma received docetaxel 75 mg/m2 i.v. day 1, cisplatin 75 mg/m2 i.v. day 1, capecitabine 1650 mg/m2 per os days 1-14 every 3 weeks. Up to 6 cycles were provided. G-CSF was not routinely used for primary prophylaxis. Results: From 2007 to 2011, 37 pts were included in the study, all pts were available for response. Pts characteristics and results are shown in the table. Median number of cycles delivered was 5 (range, 1-5). Grade 3-4 toxicity (per cycle) included: neutropenia – 24,9%, deep venous thrombosis – 2%, diarrhea – 6.2%, stomatitis – 3.8%, infection – 11%; anemia 14% pts. Six pts had dose reductions, 2 pts stopped chemotherapy due to toxicity. No toxic deaths were observed. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and median overall survival (OS) were 7,5 months (95% CI 6,076-8,857) and 14,5 months (95% CI 10,054-18,880), respectively. Conclusions: Compare with combination of docetaxel, cisplatin and 5-FU, evaluated in V325 study, our regimen had more favorable toxic profile with similar efficacy. Further investigation of this regimen in randomized controlled trials is warranted. [Table: see text]
