e19040 Background: BEV maintenance therapy and PEM maintenance therapy in platinum-based chemotherapy yield a significant survival advantage in CALGB and PARAMUNT trials, respectively, but each agent gave only modest impact on survival. We conducted a phase II trial of CDDP-DOC-BEV therapy followed by maintenance BEV-PEM therapy inchemo-naïve advanced NonSq NSCLC. Methods: Forty-one patients (pts) participated in the induction phase, specified as four cycles of induction CDDP (80 mg/m2), DOC (60 mg/m2) and BEV (15 mg/kg) on day 1 of a 21-day cycle. Pts who had not progressed during CDDP-DOC-BEV received maintenance BEV (15 mg/kg) and PEM (500 mg/m2) on day 1 of a 21-day cycle until disease progression. The primary endpoint was PFS, and the secondary endpoints included OS, toxicity, and response. Survival time was calculated from the date of registration. Results: Pt characteristics were as follows: median age: 62 yrs; 76% male; 32% PS 0; 73% stage IV; 93% Ad; 5% EGFR-mutant and 2% ALK-mutant. At the time of this analysis, 34 pts (83%) discontinued the treatment, mainly due to progressive disease (53%). The principal toxicity was myelosuppression (gr. 4 hematological: 21 pts [51%]), and grs. 3/4 febrile neutropenia was observed in 10 (24%) despite no treatment-related deaths. The objective response rate and disease control rate (DCR, % pts with CR/PR/SD) was 82.9% and 97.6%, respectively. Median follow-up time was 15.6 months, and 1-yr PFS rate was 34.2% with 95% confidence interval (CI) of 20.3-48.5%, which met the primary endpoint. Also, 1-yr OS rate was 75.6% (95%CI: 59.4-86.1%). Exploratory analysis for pts with both EGFR- and ALK-wild-typed NonSq NSCLC (n = 16) demonstrated 1-yr PFS and OS rates of 50.0% (24.5-71.1%) and 87.5% (58.6-96.7%), respectively. Also, pts with maintenance therapy (n = 34) had 1-yr PFS and OS rates of 41.2% (24.8-56.9%) and 82.4% (64.9-91.7%), respectively. Conclusions: CDDP-DOC-BEV followed by BEV-PEM maintenance seems highly effective despite moderately toxic profiles in chemo-naïve pts with advanced NonSq NSCLC.

e19029 Background: We previously conducted a phase I trial of combination chemotherapy with irinotecan and amrubicin for NSCLC and found acceptable toxicity profiles with a favorable efficacy in patients with pretreated NSCLC. The aim of this phase II trial was to further evaluate its efficacy and toxicity in this population with a long-term follow-up. Methods: Primary endpoint was objective response. Patients with NSCLC previously treated with one or two chemotherapy regimens were enrolled in this trial. Irinotecan and amrubicin were both administered on days 1 and 8, every 3 weeks at doses of 100 and 40 mg/m2, respectively. Response and toxicity were assessed according to the RECIST guideline and NCI-CTC for AE v3.0. Results: Thirty-one pretreated NSCLC patients were enrolled between 2004 and 2006. A median number of courses administered was 3 (range: 1 to 6). All patients and courses were assessable for efficacy and safety. Demographics of the patients were as follows: M/F:21/10, Ad/others:21/10, ECOG-PS 0/1:12/19, and smoker/non-smoker:21/10. Platinum-based regimens were commonly used as the prior chemotherapy. Objective response was obtained in 9 of the 31 patients with a response rate of 29.0% (95%CI: 12.1–46.0%). Grade 4 leukopenia and neutropenia were observed in 6 (19%) and 14 (45%) patients, respectively, whereas thrombocytopenia were generally mild. Grade 3 febrile neutropenia was observed in 7 patients (23%), of whom two patients further developed Grade 4 and 5 septic shock each. Other grade 3 or greater non-hematological toxicities included diarrhea, vomiting, pneumonitis, liver dysfunction in 4, 1, 1 and 2 patients, respectively. With a median follow-up time of 24.2 months, median survival time and median progression-free survival time were 14.2 and 4.0 months, respectively. Conclusions: This combination seemed highly effective for pretreated NSCLC with an acceptable toxicity. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

8103 Background: Amrubicin (AMR), a third-generation synthetic anthracycline and potent topoisomerase II inhibitor, is approved in Japan for the treatment of lung cancer. Patients (pts) with SCLC, who are refractory to first-line chemotherapy or progress within 3 months (mos) of treatment completion, are less likely to respond to additional chemotherapy and have an expected median survival of 3–5 mos. Here, we investigate the efficacy and safety of single-agent AMR in the treatment of Western pts with refractory ED-SCLC. Methods: In this phase II trial, pts with ED-SCLC refractory to prior 1st-line platinum-based chemotherapy (defined as progression (PD) while on therapy or relapse within 90 days of treatment completion) and ECOG performance status (PS) ≤2 were eligible. Patients were treated with intravenous AMR 40 mg/m2/day x 3 days every 21 days until PD or intolerable toxicity. The primary endpoint was response rate (ORR, by RECIST), with a goal to demonstrate an ORR ≥18% (point estimate). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: In all, 75 pts were enrolled with a median age of 63 years (range 43–88), 52% female, 17% PS 2. Response to 1st-line therapy was 5% complete remission (CR), 36% partial remission (PR) and 28% PD. Median time from completion of 1st-line therapy to PD was 1.3 mos. Sixty-nine pts received AMR for a median of 4 cycles (range 1–12). Six pts died or discontinued before receiving treatment. The primary endpoint was met with an ORR of 21% (16/75, 95% confidence interval [CI] 13.6% - 31.9%), including CR in 1 pt (1%) and PR in 15 pts (20%). Stable disease was achieved in 40% of pts. Two pts with PD as best response to 1st line chemotherapy achieved a PR. Median OS was 6.0 mos (95% CI 4.8–7.1 mos). Median PFS was 3.2 mos (95% CI 2.4–4.0 mos). The most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events were neutropenia (65%), thrombocytopenia (39%), and leukopenia (35%). Seven (10%) patients experienced febrile neutropenia. Dose reductions were required in 26 patients (38%). Conclusions: AMR shows promising activity, with an ORR of 21%, and an acceptable safety profile in patients with refractory ED-SCLC, and warrants further study in these pts. [Table: see text]

TPS6109 Background: Advanced endometrial cancer (EC) patients relapse despite treatment with combination chemotherapy and have a short progression-free survival (PFS). Data from the TGCA suggest opportunities to targeting DNA repair in women with EC. Particularly type 4 (High copy number or serous like, with frequent TP53 mutations) and type 2 (microsatellite instability hypermutated) EC can be associated with defects in double strand break DNA repair by homologous recombination (HR) and could potentially be targeted by olaparib. We propose a placebo-controlled, multicenter, two-arm, phase II trial comparing olaparib versus placebo in maintenance therapy after chemotherapy in patients with advanced/metastatic EC. Methods: The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of maintenance olaparib in comparison to placebo after platinum based chemotherapy, defined by PFS according to Recist. Key eligibility criteria include: advanced/metastatic histologically confirmed EC (excepted carcino-sarcoma, small cells& neuroendocrine); prior surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy, radiation and hormonal therapy are permitted; objective or stable response after first-line chemotherapy is mandatory. 147 patients are randomized (2:1) after chemotherapy to receive Olaparib 300mg twice daily or placebo in maintenance after at least 4 cycles of platinum based chemotherapy. Olaparib/placebo is continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal. Stratification is on IHC P53 and MMR status. Primary hypothesis is a 66.7% relative increase in the median PFS rate in the olaparib arm (from 4.5 to 7.5 months), corresponding to a 0.60 Hazard Ratio. Secondary endpoints include PFS according to P53, MMR and NGS HRD status, PFS2, disease specific survival, time to subsequent therapy, overall survival, objective response, disease control rate, patient reported outcomes (assessed via EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-EN24, EORTC-FA, EQ5D) and safety. Trial is recruiting in France (in February n= 40 randomization). Conclusion: this will be the first study that evaluate the efficacy of olaparib in maintenace after chemotherapy in advanced/metastastic EC, stratified on molecular profil. Clinical trial information: NCT03745950.

18132 Background: Second line monotherapy for NSCLC produces a response rate of 9% and a median survival of 7–8 months, regardless of the agent used. Emerging data suggest that combining an approved agent with an anti-angiogenesis inhibitor may improve efficacy in the salvage setting. Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor alpha (PDGFR-alpha) is involved in angiogenesis and its expression has been reported in 100% of adenocarcinoma (11/11) and 89% of squamous cell (16/18) lung cancer specimens in a small group sample. Preclinical models have shown that I inhibits PDGFR and may subsequently inhibit angiogenesis. In addition, I + D have additive anticancer activity. We initiated a phase II trial of I +D to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this combination regimen in recurrent NSCLC. Methods: Patients (pts)with pathologically confirmed NSCLC, measurable disease, no more than 1 previous platinum-based chemotherapy regimen, PS 0–1, clinically stable brain metastases and adequate organ function were eligible. Tumor samples, when available, were tested for PDGFR expression by immunohistochemistry. All pts received D 30mg/m2 intravenously weekly x 3 every 4 weeks and oral I 600mg daily for 4 cycles. Non- progressors after 4 cycles continued with I alone for a total of 12 months or until progression. Tumor response was assessed every 2 cycles. The primary endpoint was response rate. A Simon two-stage design was used with 16 patients in the first stage and accrual of a total of 32 patients planned. Results: Currently 15/16 patients for stage I of the protocol have been enrolled. A total of 24 cycles of combined I+D were given. Patient characteristics and toxicity data are described in the table below. Efficacy data is premature. Conclusion : I +D combination has been well tolerated in this relapsed population. A detailed toxicity, efficacy and PDGFR analysis will be presented.

4032 Background: Gemcitabine-platinum chemotherapy (CTx) regimens are widely accepted as first-line standard of care for patients (pts) with advanced biliary cancers (ABC). EGFR overexpression has been observed in ABC, suggesting that the combination with anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies may be appropriate. Methods: Patients with ABC, WHO performance status (PS) 0-1, and without prior palliative CTx were eligible for this international, open-label, two-stage, non-comparative, randomized phase II trial. Patients received GEMOX (gemcitabine, 1 g/m² [10 mg/m²/min] at day [D]1 + oxaliplatin, 100 mg/m² at D2, arm A) or GEMOX + cetuximab (500 mg/m² at D1 or 2, arm B), every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was crude 4-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate (H0, <40%; H1, ≥60%; planned sample size, 100 pts, increased to 150 pts by amendment to allow subgroup analyses). Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), PFS, overall survival (OS), and toxicity (NCI-CTC v3.0). Exploratory endpoints included early metabolic response as assessed by PET at 1 month, and tumor KRAS mutational analysis. Results: From Oct. 2007 to Dec. 2009, we enrolled 150 pts (median age, 62 years; male, 57%; metastatic, 79%; cholangiocarcinoma, 84%; median follow-up, 30 months) (Table). Conclusions: GEMOX-cetuximab regimen was well tolerated and met its primary endpoint (4-month PFS ≥60%). However, median PFS and OS were similar in both arms. Exploratory analyses (e.g., KRAS tumor status) are underway to identify pt subgroups deriving benefit from the addition of cetuximab to CTx. [Table: see text]

e15613 Background: Despite high response rates (RRs) with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced urothelial carcinoma (UCC), treatment after first-line failure remains unclear. The present multi-center phase II trial evaluated the tolerability and efficacy of weekly docetaxel as second-line chemotherapy for UCC. Methods: Between Aug 2010 and Sep 2012, 31 patients with measurable UCC, progressive after one prior platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced disease, were treated with docetaxel 30 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8. Treatment was repeated every 21 days until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoints were the RR, progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. To detect a 20% difference in RR (6% vs. 26%), 28 eligible patients were required. Results: All 31 patients were previously treated with gemcitabine/platinum and had Bellmunt risk of one or more. The patients’ median age was 64 years (range, 40 to 79) and 31 (100%) patients had an ECOG performance status of 1. A total of 106 (median, 2; range, 1 to 16) chemotherapy cycles were delivered. Although fatigue (13%) and anorexia (6%) were the most frequently observed grade 3 or 4 toxicities, safety profiles were generally mild and manageable. One patient developed prolonged thrombocytopenia which led to treatment discontinuation but was resolved thereafter. In an intent-to-treat analysis, two (6%) patients achieved objective response, which maintained for 3.0 to 7.8 months. Eight patients experienced disease stabilization, resulting in a disease control rate of 32%. The median PFS and overall survival were 1.4 (95% CI, 1.3 to 1.6) and 9.6 (95% CI, 7.8 to 11.4) months, respectively. Conclusions: Second-line chemotherapy with weekly docetaxel was well tolerated but demonstrated modest antitumor activity in patient with advanced UCC who had progression after first-line platinum-containing regimen and poor prognostic factors. Clinical trial information: NCT01711112.
