4034 Background: In Europe and the USA, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the fifth most common cause of cancer-related death. For patients with metastatic disease, palliative cytostatic systemic treatment is the only option. There is no established standard for 2nd-line treatment. Fluoropyrimidines either alone or in combination with Oxaliplatin or other chemotherapeutic agents are increasingly used. There are interesting data regarding the combination of Gemcitabine with Oxaliplatin or Docetaxel with respect to progression free survival (PFS) and tumor response in 1st-line. For the first time, the DocOx-trial investigates the combination of Oxaliplatin with Docetaxel as 2nd-line treatment after progression under palliative first-line systemic treatment with Gemcitabine. Methods: Prospective, single arm, non-randomized, multicenter, Simon´s two stage phase II trial using Docetaxel (75 mg/m2, 60 min, d 1) plus Oxaliplatin (80 mg/m2, 120 min, d 2, qd 22). Duration of the trial is scheduled up to 8 cycles. Primary endpoint: tumor response (RR) according to RECIST 1.0. Secondary endpoints: PFS, OS, safety/toxicity, QoL/clinical benefit. Results: Here we present the data on response rate (RR), median progression free survival (mPFS) and median overall survival (mOS) as of February 4th, 2013. Data represents the Intention to treat-analysis of the 44 patients included between 2009 and 2012. 5 patients did not obtain any treatment. RR was 16% (7 partial remissions, no complete remission) with a disease control rate (DCR) of 48% after the first two treatment cycles. Median PFS was 7 weeks ( 95%-CI: 6-16 w.) and median OS after start of 2nd-line therapy was 36 weeks ( 95%-CI: 19-55 w.). Conclusions: In this single-arm 2nd-line trial for the treatment of PDAC, the combination of Doxcetaxel and Oxaliplatin shows very promising results compared to other 2nd-line-protocols such as OFF. Some patients seem to benefit particularly as indicated by long periods of treatment in this setting. Even after 8 cycles of treatment with DocOx, partial response was observed in 2 patients and stable disease in another 6 patients corresponding a disease control rate of 18%. Clinical trial information: NCT00690300.

496 Background: The FIRIS study (Muro K et al. Lancet Oncol 2010;11:853-860) previously demonstrated the non-inferiority of Irinotecan plus S-1 (IRIS) to FOLFIRI for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), with progression-free survival as the primary endpoint. IRIS plus bevacizumab (IRIS/Bev) was reported an active and generally well-tolerated first-line treatment for mCRC (Yuki et al. ASCO 2012 #3593). We planned a Phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IRIS/Bev as second-line therapy for patients with mCRC. Methods: The study design was multicenter, single-arm, open-label phase II study. Eligible patients had to have mCRC with confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, history of oxaliplatin containing regimen as first-line therapy, an age from 20 to 80 years, ECOG performance status (PS) of 0-1. S-1 65 mg/m2 daily p.o. was given on days 1-14 and Irinotecan 75mg/m2 and Bevacizumab 10mg/kg i.v. were given on days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoints included overall response rate (OR), overall survival (OS), time to treatment failure (TTF) and safety. Results: From 08/12 until 11/06, 35 patients were enrolled. One patient did not start therapy. Thirty-four patients were investigated. Median age was 63 years (range, 38 to 82). Twenty-five patients were male. The mean of relative dose intensity of TS-1/Irinotecan/Bev were respectively 92.1%/87.0%/86.2%. The OR was 21.1% (7/33) and disease control rate was 84.8% (28/33). Median PFS was 9.3 months, median TTF was 8.2 month and median survival time 23.1 month. On safety analysis, the incidence of grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions were as follows: neutropenia, 14.7%; fatigue, 14.7%; white blood cell decreased, 11.8%; anorexia, 8.8%; anemia, 8.8%; diarrhea, 2.9%; proteinuria, 5.9%; thromboembolic event, 2.9%. Conclusions: IRIS/Bev is an active and well-tollarated second-line treatment for patients with mCRC. Clinical trial information: UMIN000001631.

352 Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma still remains a major cause of cancer related deaths in the western world. The current study was conducted to confirm the activity and feasibility of docetaxel/ oxaliplatin combination in second line treatment of advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Methods: Prospective single arm, non-randomized, multi-center, Simon’s two stage phase II trial using docetaxel (75 mg/m2, 60 min, d 1) and oxaliplatin (80 mg/m2, 120 min, d 2) in 21-day cycles. Duration of the trial was scheduled up two 8 cycles. Primary endpoint was tumor response according to RECIST 1.0. Secondary endpoints were progression free survival, overall survival, safety/toxicity, quality of life and clinical benefit. Results: Data represents the intention to treat analysis of 44 patients included between 2008 and 2012. The majority of patients received a gemcitabine based first-line chemotherapy (95.5%). The primary endpoint of tumor response was achieved in 15.9% (7 partial remissions, no complete remission), with a disease control rate of 48% after the first two treatment cycles. Median progression free survival was 7 weeks (CI 6-15.9 weeks) and overall survival 40 weeks (CI 20.4-56.4 weeks). No unexpected adverse events occured. The recorded AEs were mainly hematologic (neutropenia grade 3/4 63.6%, febrile neutropenia 4.6%), gastrointestinal (29.6% grade 3/4 AEs) and infectious (18.2% grade 3/4 AEs). Conclusions: In this single-arm second line trial for the treatment of advanced PDAC, the combination of docetaxel and oxaliplatin shows promising results comparable with other second line protocols such as OFF (oxaliplatin, 5-FU, leucovorin) or liposomal irinotecan (MM-398) plus 5-FU/leucovorin (NAPOLI 1-trial). Some patients seem to benefit particularly as indicated by long periods of treatment in this setting. Even after 8 cycles of treatment with DocOx, partial response was observed in 2 patients and stable disease in another 6 patients corresponding to a disease control rate of 18%. The toxicity profile was quite tolerable and comparable to other second line studies. Clinical trial information: NCT00690300.

Abstract   The benefit of systemic treatment in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) which has progressed after chemotherapy is still uncertain. Anlotinib (AL3818) is a novel multi-target TKI, inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and proliferation. A phase II trial (NCT02649361) has demonstrated that anlotinib has a durable antitumor activity with a manageable adverse event profile in refractory metastatic ESCC. This study (NCT03387904) aimed at comparing the effects and safety of Anlotinib Plus Irinotecan versus Irinotecan in patients with ESCC. Methods We conducted a prospective randomized, multicenter, phase II trial to compare the efficacy of Anlotinib Plus Irinotecan with Irinotecan in recurrent ESCC patients who had resistance to platinum or taxane-based chemotherapy. Eligible patients were adults with pathologically confirmed recurrent ESCC, and 82 patients were randomized 1:1 to Irinotecan (65 mg/m2/day 1 and day 8) with or without anlotinib (12 mg qd day 1 to 14) of a 21-day cycle till progression or intolerable. The primary endpoint is the disease control rate (DCR) and progression-free survival (PFS) and the secondary end points are objective response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS). Results Between 13/1 2019 and 20/1 2020, a total of 43 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the anlotinib plus irinotecan (n = 22) or the irinotecan group (n = 21).The mPFS was longer in trial group than in control group (89 days vs 66 days, HR = 0.447, P = 0.055). The Disease control rate (DCR) was 54.5% in trial group and 38.1% in the control group. The treatment-related adverse events (>10%) were fatigue (59.1%), nausea (50.0%), decreased appetite (36.4%), hoarseness (27.3%), thyroid-stimulating hormone elevation (22.7%), diarrhea (9.1%), and decreased lymphocytes count(9.1%) in trial group. Grade 3 AEs included fatigue (4.5% vs 4.8%), nausea (4.5% vs 0%) and diarrhea (4.5% vs 0%) in two groups. Conclusion Anlotinib plus irinotecan was similarly tolerable but prolonged PFS compared to irinotecan monotherapy as a second-line treatment in patients with recurrent ESCC.

Purpose No effective salvage treatments are available for patients with advanced/recurrent thymoma (T) or thymic carcinoma (TC) who have progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy. This study evaluated the activity of everolimus in patients with advanced/recurrent T or TC previously treated with cisplatin-containing chemotherapy. Patients and Methods This was a single-arm, single-stage, open-label, multicenter, phase II trial. Patients received oral everolimus 10 mg/d until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient refusal. A Fleming phase II trial was designed. The null hypothesis of a true disease control rate (DCR) of 40% was tested against a one-sided alternative of a true DCR of 60% (α = β = 0.10): If disease control were achieved in ≥ 21 of the first 41 evaluable patients, everolimus could be recommended for further evaluation. Progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety were also evaluated. Results From 2011 to 2013, 51 patients were enrolled (T, n = 32; TC, n = 19). Complete remission was observed in one patient with TC, partial response in five patients (T, n = 3; TC, n = 2), and stable disease in 38 patients (T, n = 27; TC, n= 11), with a DCR of 88% (T,: 93.8%; TC, 77.8%). With a median follow up of 25.7 months, median progression-free survival was 10.1 months (T,: 16.6 months; TC, 5.6 months), and median overall survival was 25.7 months (T, not reached; TC, 14.7 months). Fourteen patients had a serious drug-related adverse event; of these patients, nine permanently discontinued treatment. Three patients died of pneumonitis while in the study. Immunohistochemical positivity for p4E-BP1 or insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor was statistically significantly related to a shorter survival. Conclusion Everolimus may induce durable disease control in a high percentage of patients with T or TC, albeit with a potential high risk of fatal pneumonitis.

Paclitaxel Treatment

463 Background: Addition of nab-paclitaxel to gemcitabine has recently been demonstrated in the clinical phase III trial MPACT to be beneficial for progression free survival, overall response rate, and overall survival in advanced pancreatic cancer patients. Any potential biologic activity of nab-paclitaxel in biliary cancer is hitherto unknown. Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients with advanced biliary cancer was undertaken to determine the disease control rate (CR+PR+SD), progression-free survival and overall survival in patients who had received nab-paclitaxel-based chemotherapy after failure of a platinum-containing first-line combination chemotherapy. Results: Eleven patients were identified. 4 of 11 patients received nab-paclitaxel as second line, 7 of 11 patients as a third-line treatment. 7 of 11 patients received nab-paclitaxel in combination with gemcitabine, while in 4 of 11 patients nab-paclitaxel was combined with fluoropyrimidine. The disease control rate seen with nab-paclitaxel was 81% (nine of eleven patients). Disease was progressive in one patient, and in one patient the response status is unknown yet. One patient received partial remission and 8 patients had stable disease. As of September 13th, 2014, three patients are still undergoing nab-paclitaxel combination therapy, but were censored by this date for analysis. The median time to progression was 4.9 months (2.3 – 18.9 months) for all patients (11/11 pts.), and 9.5 months for patients completed nab-paclitaxel treatment (8/11 pts.). Median overall survival for all eleven patients after initiation of nab-paclitaxel treatment was 7.3 month (2.6 – 21.8 month). The mean time of survival after diagnosis of advanced disease was 21.3 month, whereby 5 patients were alive at date of censoring. Conclusions: Nab-paclitaxel based chemotherapy can be an effective second-line regimen after platinum-failure in patients with advanced biliary cancer. In this small series, nab-paclitaxel appears to have a biological activity by controlling the disease and positively affecting survival. Randomized trials in this group of patients are urged.

PURPOSE To evaluate the objective tumor response rate and safety profile of oxaliplatin when administered to patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 39 patients were entered onto this phase II trial. One patient was excluded for having had a second cancer, so the study was based on 38 patients. Patients were treated with oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 as a 2-hour infusion on day 1, every 21 days. Patients were assessed for response every three courses. All clinical and radiologic data were reviewed by an external panel of experts, with their assessment being considered definitive. RESULTS Nine partial responses (PRs) were observed (response rate, 24.3%; 95% confidence interval, 11.8% to 41.2%). The median duration of response was 216+ days. Fifteen patients (40.5%) had stable disease and 13 (35.2%) had progressive disease. The median progression-free survival time for all patients was 126+ days (range, 21 to 447+). The main toxicity was peripheral sensory neuropathy. Grade 3 neurotoxicity (National Cancer Institute common toxicity criteria [NCI-CTC]) was reported in 13%. Hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicities were mild. The incidence of grade 3 neutropenia was 5.2%, while that of grade 3 or 4 thrombopenia was 7.9%. Vomiting (grade 3 or 4) occurred in 7.9% of patients and grade 3 diarrhea in 2.6%. CONCLUSION This phase II study provides clear evidence of the safety and efficacy of oxaliplatin monotherapy at this dose and schedule in patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal carcinoma.

PURPOSE Five percent to 9% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) develop in patients with a germline BRCA1/2 or PALB2 (g BRCA/PALB2+) mutation. Phase IB data from a trial that used cisplatin, gemcitabine, and veliparib treatment demonstrated a high response rate (RR), disease control rate (DCR), and overall survival (OS) in this population. We designed an open-label, randomized, multicenter, two-arm phase II trial to investigate cisplatin and gemcitabine with or without veliparib in g BRCA/PALB2+ PDAC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients had untreated g BRCA/PALB2+ PDAC with measurable stage III to IV disease and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 1. Treatment for patients in arm A consisted of cisplatin 25 mg/m2 and gemcitabine 600 mg/m2 intravenously on days 3 and 10; treatment for patients in arm B was the same as that for patients in arm A, and arm A also received veliparib 80 mg orally twice per day on days 1 to 12 cycled every 3 weeks. The primary end point was RRs of arm A and arm B evaluated separately using a Simon two-stage design. Secondary end points were progression-free survival, DCR, OS, safety, and correlative analyses. RESULTS Fifty patients were evaluated by modified intention-to-treat analysis. The RR for arm A was 74.1% and 65.2% for arm B ( P = .55); both arms exceeded the prespecified activity threshold. DCR was 100% for arm A and 78.3% for arm B ( P = .02). Median progression-free survival was 10.1 months for arm A (95% CI, 6.7 to 11.5 months) and 9.7 months for arm B (95% CI, 4.2 to 13.6 months; P = .73). Median OS for arm A was 15.5 months (95% CI, 12.2 to 24.3 months) and 16.4 months for arm B (95% CI, 11.7 to 23.4 months; P = .6). Two-year OS rate for the entire cohort was 30.6% (95% CI, 17.8% to 44.4%), and 3-year OS rate was 17.8% (95% CI, 8.1% to 30.7%). Grade 3 to 4 hematologic toxicities for arm A versus arm B were 13 (48%) versus seven (30%) for neutropenia, 15 (55%) versus two (9%) for thrombocytopenia, and 14 (52%) versus eight (35%) for anemia. CONCLUSION Cisplatin and gemcitabine is an effective regimen in advanced g BRCA/PALB2+ PDAC. Concurrent veliparib did not improve RR. These data establish cisplatin and gemcitabine as a standard approach in g BRCA/ PALB2+ PDAC.

Aim: Regorafenib may be active in different cancer types. This Phase II trial included patients with various refractory cancer types treated with regorafenib. Here, we report the results of the pancreatic adenocarcinoma cohort. Methods: The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 8 weeks; further investigation of regorafenib would be warranted with a PFS rate ≥50%. Results: A total of 20 patients were enrolled. The best response was stable disease in four patients (20%). The 8-week PFS rate was 25% with a median PFS of 1.7 months (95% CI: 1.5–2.0). A total of 13 patients (65%) experienced grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events. Conclusion: The study did not meet its primary end point. Further investigation of regorafenib monotherapy in this setting is not recommended. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT02307500
