9082 Background: Metastatic melanoma lacks effective therapy. Pazopanib is an inhibitor of VEGFR-1,2,3, PDGFR-B and c-KIT that has antiangiogenic activity in renal cell cancer as well as inhibition of melanoma tumor xenografts. We designed a phase II single arm, open label clinical trial evaluating pazopanib in combination with metronomic paclitaxel as first line therapy for subjects with unresectable stage III and stage IV melanoma. Methods: This protocol utilizes a Simon 2-stage Minimax design, with a planned interim analysis to confirm >3 responders to move to the second stage. To date, 31 patients are evaluable for response. All subjects were treatment naïve and received paclitaxel at 80mg/m2 weekly for three weeks in a 4 week cycle and pazopanib 800mg continuous daily oral dose. The primary endpoint is 6 month progression free survival. Exploratory endpoints include biomarker analysis that may be associated with treatment outcomes (serum VEGF, soluble VEGFR-2, serum HIF, serum TSP1 and BRAF mutation status). An additional exploratory endpoint includes the in vitro activity of pazopanib and paclitaxel on patient biopsy material co-cultured with vascular endothelial cells. RECIST 1.1 criteria were used to define treatment response (SD criteria was a minimum interval of 8 weeks). Results: For the 31 evaluable patients treated to date the following results were seen: 1 CR, 9 PR’s, 13 SD’s and 8 PD’s. The overall RR (CR+PR) was 32%. Total disease control rate was 74% (CR+PR+SD). The most common AEs/lab abnormalities were diarrhea (66%) nausea (60%), hypertension (63%), fatigue (63%) and vomiting (29%). Grade 3-4 AEs included hypertension (26%), transaminitis (23%) and neutropenia (17%).One patient discontinued for grade 4 transaminitis which subsequently resolved completely. Dose reductions were required for pazopanib in 15 patients and for paclitaxel in 4 patients. Conclusions: Updated interim analysis of this phase II study demonstrated that pazopanib in combination with paclitaxel was well tolerated and resulted in a 32% response rate, indicating that this combination is of further interest. Accrual will continue to reach a goal of 60 patients. Clinical trial information: NCT01107665.

8524 Background: Metastatic melanoma lacks effective therapy. Pazopanib is a small-molecule inhibitor of VEGFR-1,2,3, PDGFR-B and c-KIT that has antiangiogenic activity in renal cell cancer as well as inhibition of melanoma tumor xenografts. We designed a phase II single arm, open label clinical trial evaluating pazopanib in combination with metronomic paclitaxel as first line therapy for subjects with unresectable stage III and stage IV melanoma. Methods: This protocol utilizes a Simon 2-stage Minimax design, with a planned interim analysis to confirm >3 responders to move to the second stage. To date, 20 eligible patients have been enrolled with 17 evaluable for response. All subjects were treatment naïve and received paclitaxel at 80mg/m2 weekly for three weeks in a 4 week cycle and pazopanib at 800mg as a continuous daily oral dose. The primary endpoint is 6 month progression free survival. Exploratory endpoints include biomarker analysis that may be associated with treatment outcomes (serum VEGF, soluble VEGF R2, serum HIF, serum TSP1 and BRAF mutation status). An additional exploratory endpoint includes the in vitro activity of pazopanib and paclitaxel on patient biopsy material co-cultured with vascular endothelial cells. RECIST criteria were used to define treatment response. Results: For the 17 evaluable patients treated to date the following results were seen: 1 CR, 6 PR’s, 8 SD’s and 2 PD’s. The overall RR (CR+PR) was 40%. Total disease control rate was 80% (PR+SD). The most common AEs/lab abnormalities were nausea (71%), hypertension (57%), fatigue (57%) and vomiting (43%). Grade 3-4 AEs included hypertension (28%), transaminitis (21%) and neutropenia (14%). One patient discontinued for grade 4 transaminitis which subsequently resolved completely. Dose reductions were required for pazopanib in 5 patients and for paclitaxel in one patient. Conclusions: Planned interim analysis of this phase II study demonstrated that pazopanib in combination with paclitaxel was well tolerated and resulted in a 40% response rate, indicating that this combination is of further interest. Accrual will continue to reach a goal of 60 patients.

e14604 Background: Nimotuzumab is a genetically engineered humanized antibody (mAb) that recognizes an epitope located in the extracellular domain of human EGFR. Evidences have shown that nimotuzumab is effective and safe in SCCHN. The combination of paclitaxel/cisplatin (TP) is a standard regimen for advanced or metastatic ESCC. This open uncontrolled phase II study was designed to determine the efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab in combination with TP as the first-line treatment in advanced ESCC. Methods: All patients have histology/cytology confirmed advanced or metastatic ESCC with ECOG PS 0-2. The treatment plan is as the following: paclitaxel administered intravenously (IV) 175 mg/m2 on d1 and cisplatin IV 30-35mg/ m2/d on d1-2, every 21 days for 6 cycles, and nimotuzumab IV 200mg weekly. For patients with stable disease (SD) and better, nimotuzumab will be given continuously after 6 cycles of TP. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (RR) with 56 patients enrollment (target RR >60%); secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety/ tolerability. The coordinations between EGFR and ERCC1 with response of treatment will be analyzed. Results: Up to date, 25 patients (male/female, 20/5; median age 58) have been enrolled. All patients were evaluated for toxicity and 22 are evaluable for response. 14 (63.6%) had a confirmed partial response (PR) and 7 (31.8%) had SD as their best responses with disease control rate of 95.4%. Only one patient had progressive disease (PD). Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, neutropenic fever and anemia occurred in 52.2%, 4% and 13% respectively. Nonhematological toxicities were generally mild with grade 1 or 2 alopecie, hypodynamia, anorexia, nausea, arthralgia, and itch of skin occurring in 80%, 60.9%, 43.5%, 34.8%, 30.4%, and 21.7%. One patient had a grade 3 haematuria. Conclusions: The interim analysis showed that the combination of nimotuzumab with TP is tolerated reasonably well in patients with advanced or metastatic ESCC and encouraging efficacy. The study is ongoing with coordination of biomarkers and response as well.

5021 Background: Pelareorep (REO) is an oncolytic virus with in vitro and in vivo activity in many cancers, including prostate. It has in vitro synergism with microtubule targeted agents especially taxanes. We undertook a clinical trial to evaluate REO in mCRPC patients (pts) receiving docetaxel. Methods: In this randomized, open-label multicenter phase II study, pts received docetaxel 75mg/m2 on day 1 of a 21-day cycle in combination with REO given as 3x1010 TCID50 IV daily on days 1-5 (arm A), or alone (arm B). The primary endpoint was 12-week lack of disease progression (LPD) rate. Secondary endpoints included objective response rate; survival; circulating tumor cell (CTC) enumeration at 0, 6 and 12 weeks; PSA response rate and biomarkers. Results: Eighty-five pts were randomized. Median age was 69, ECOG performance status (PS) was 0/1/2 in 31%/66%/3% of pts. Bone/regional lymph node/liver metastases were present in 98%/24%/6% of pts. More pts in arm A had poor prognostic factors for survival at baseline (median prognostic index 1.44 vs. 1.29). The median number of cycles delivered for arms A/B was 7/9 (range 1-10 and 1-13). In arm A, 51%/68% of pts received ≥90% of planned dose intensity of docetaxel/REO respectively, vs. 76% of pts for docetaxel in arm B. Adverse events (AE) were as expected for docetaxel therapy but more prevalent in arm A (grade 3 or higher all AEs 80 vs. 74%). A higher rate of grade 4 febrile neutropenia was noted in arm A (7 vs. 0%) but may represent virus related fevers. The 12-week LPD rate was 61% and 52.4% in A/B respectively (p = 0.51). OS was worse in arm A vs. B (HR 1.95; 95% CI 0.94-4.06; p = 0.07 after adjusting for age, PS and baseline prognostic score). There was no difference between arms in CTC favourable status at any timepoint. No survival benefit of REO with D was found in any subset from the biomarker analysis. Conclusions: While the combination of REO with D for patients with mCRPC was tolerable and LPD rate was comparable in both arms, docetaxel dose intensity and survival were inferior and so this combination, as tested, does not merit further study.

e16199 Background: Patients with advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) have a poor prognosis and limited treatment option after first-line treatment. Surufatinib, a multi-kinase inhibitor of VEGFR 1-3, FGFR 1 and CSF-1R, has been approved in patients with advanced or metastatic extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors in China. Toripalimab is a monoclonal humanized IgG4 PD-1 antibody. Surufatinib modulates tumor immune microenvironment and has shown promising antitumor activity in combination with toripalimab in solid tumors, including neuroendocrine tumor and neuroendocrine carcinoma. Herein, we reported the efficacy and safety of surufatinib in combination with toripalimab in a cohort of advanced NEC patients. Methods: The multicenter, open-label, single-arm phase II clinical trial enrolled advanced NEC patients refractory to first-line chemotherapy, and received surufatinib 250 mg once a day orally plus toripalimab 240 mg intravenously on day 1 of a 21-day cycle. The primary end point is objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1. Results: Twenty-one patients enrolled and received combination therapy. At data cut-off (December 31, 2020), the average treatment cycles were 5.1±3.69 for surufatinib and 5.0±3.68 for toripalimab. Among 20 tumor evaluable patients, 4 patients achieved confirmed PR and 10 patients achieved stable disease. The ORR and disease control rate (DCR) are 20 % (95%CI: 5.7%-43.7%) and 70% (95%CI: 45.7%-88.1%) respectively. The median PFS is 3.94 months (95%CI: 1.31- unknown). OS is not mature till data cut-off. Adverse events (AEs) reported as related to treatment (TRAE) occurred in 100% of patients, of which Grade≥3 TRAEs occurred in 33.3% of patients. The reported Grade≥3 TRAEs were hypertension in 2 (9.5%) patients, and upper abdominal pain, oral mucositis, neutrophil count decreased, leukocyte count decreased, dermatitis, anemia and backache in 1 (4.8%) patient each. Immune related Grade ≥3 AEs, Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase increased and dermatitis, occurred in 2 (9.5%) patients, respectively. TRAE caused surufatinib or toripalimab interruption occurred in 6 (28.6%) and 4 (19%) patients respectively. There were neither serious AEs nor AEs inducing treatment discontinuations or deaths. Conclusions: As there is no standard second-line treatment, this combination of surufatinib and toripalimab might offer a new promising choice to treat NEC as second-line treatment due to good efficacy and manageable treatment related toxicities. Clinical trial information: NCT04169672.

5040 Background: TMPRSS2-ERG fusion gene is a common driver of prostate cancer. The PREMIERE study is a phase II, single arm open-label, multicentre, clinical trial designed to analyse the predictive/prognostic value of TMPRSS2-ERG in first-line chemo-naïve mCRPC patients treated with enzalutamide. Methods: We centrally evaluated TMPRSS2-ERG in diagnostic samples using PCR, FISH and IHC for ERG. Among exploratory biomarkers we included plasma DNA, AR copy number by ddPCR and CTC by AdnaTest. PCWG2 criteria were used for outcome evaluation. We correlated TMPRSS2-ERGand other exploratory biomarkers with mCRPC outcomes. Results: Ninety eight patients with median age 77 y (range 59-95), ECOG 0/1 (54/46%) with mts located in bone (82%), LN (48%) and visceral (17%). With a median FU of 37.3 months, PSA response was PSA50: 82% and PSA90: 53%; median PSA-PFS was 13.7m (95%CI 10.2-19.0), Rad-PFS 26.7m (95%CI: 22.0-NA) and OS 37.5m (95%IC: 33.7-NA). TMPRSS2-ERG was detected in 32 pts (33%), AR gain in 11 pts and CTCs in 35 pts. No differences were observed based on TMPRSS2-ERG status for PSA response (PSA50: 81% vs 83%; p=0.8), PSA-PFS (median 12.8 vs 14.7m; HR 0.98; 95%CI 0.58-1.67; p=0.95), Rad-PFS (median 28.4 vs 26.4m; HR 1.02; 95% 0.53-1.96, p=0.95) or OS (median 36.9 vs 38.1m; HR 1.23; 95%CI 0.69-2.21, p=0.48). Plasma AR gain was associated with worse PSA-PFS (median 4.2 vs 14.7 m; p<0.0001), Rad-PFS (median 3.6 vs 28.4m; p<0.0001) and OS (median 12.7 vs 38.1m; p<0.0001). Plasma DNA and CTCs were also associated with worse outcome. Multivariate analyses of exploratory biomarkers are included in the table. Conclusions: The fusion gene TMPRSS2-ERG is not predictive nor prognostic on enzalutamide treatment in first-line chemo-naïve mCRPC patients. Plasma AR gain and CTCs are strong independent biomarkers associated with adverse outcome. Multivariate analysis of exploratory biomarkers. Clinical trial information: NCT02288936. [Table: see text]

9114 Background: Hypoxia has been associated with chemo-radioresistance secondary to Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor induced by Hypoxia Induced Factor (HIF). Nitroglycerin (NTG) can reduce HIF-1 in cell lines, and this may have anti-angiogenic, pro-apoptotic, and anti-efflux effects. Particularly, EGFR mutated (EGFRm) tumor cell lines have been shown to overexpress both VEGF and HIF. In this phase II study, we evaluated the effect of transdermal NTG on intracranial objective response rate (iORR), intracranial progression-free survival (ICPFS), and overall survival (OS) of NSCLC patients with BM. Methods: We performed an open-label, phase II clinical trial among ninety-six histologically confirmed NSCLC patients with BM. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive NTG plus WBRT (30 Gy in 10 fractions) or WBRT alone. iORR and ICPFS were evaluated by MRI by two independent, blinded radiologists. Nitroglycerin was administered using a transdermal 36 mg patch, which released 10 mg in 24 hours with a rest interval of 12 hours from Monday-Friday throughout WBRT administration (10 days). Results: Fifty patients were allocated to the control group, while 46 were allocated to the experimental group (NTG); among these 26 (55.3%) had EGFRm in the control group and 21 (44.7%) had EGFRm in the NTG arm. In terms of the iORR, patients in the NTG group had a significantly higher response when compared to controls (56.6% vs. 43.5%; p = 0.024). Additionally, patients who received NTG in addition to WBRT had an independently prolonged ICPFS compared with those who received WBRT alone (27.7 vs. 9.6; HR: 0.470 [95%CI: 0.24-0.89]; p = 0.021). PFS was also positively impacted (HR: 0.519 [95%CI: 0.27-0.98]; p = 0.043). The benefit in terms of iORR and ICPFS (HR: 0.38 [95%CI: 0.16-0.91]; p = 0.030) was particularly important in the EGFRm patient subgroup. No differences were observed in OS. A significantly higher rate of vomiting presented in the NTG arm of the study ( p= 0.016). Conclusions: The concurrent administration of NTG and chemo-radiotherapy improves iORR and ICPFS among NSCLC patients with BM. The benefit is particularly significant in the EGFRm patient subgroup. Clinical trial information: NCT04338867.
