LBA10502 Background: To palliate and prolong disease control after failure of all available treatment in advanced GIST, resumption of IM dosing has been commonly practiced based on evidence of rapid GIST progression after discontinuation of all TKIs. We evaluated the efficacy of IM rechallenge in pts with advanced GIST following failure of all TKIs. Methods: Eligible pts had metastatic and/or unresectable GIST with prior benefit from first-line IM (defined as disease control for > 6 months), progressive disease (PD) on first-line IM, PD on or intolerance to SU, and ECOG performance status 0-3. Pts were randomized 1:1 to receive best supportive care with either IM 400 mg po once daily or PL. At the time of PD, pts were unblinded and allowed to cross-over to open-label IM. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) determined by blinded external radiology review according to RECIST v1.0. Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), time to progression, disease control rate (DCR) at 12 weeks, and safety. Results: Between July 2010 and January 2013, 81 pts were randomized (IM: 41, PL: 40) at a single Korean center. All baseline characteristics were balanced between the arms and 40% of pts received ≥ 3 prior TKIs. The planned final analysis in March 2013 demonstrated that the primary endpoint was met, with significantly greater PFS for pts randomized to IM vs. PL : 1.8 vs. 0.9 months, respectively (p=0.002), hazard ratio (HR) 0.45 (95% CI, 0.27-0.76). DCR at 12 weeks was 32% for IM vs. 5% for PL (p=0.003). With 92.5 % of PL pts rapidly crossing over to IM, median OS was 8.2 months for IM vs. 7.5 months for PL (HR of 0.99, p=0.982). The most common treatment-emergent AEs (> grade 3) during double-blind period in the IM arm included anemia (29%), fatigue (10%), and hyperbilirubinemia (7%). Conclusions: Rechallenge of IM significantly improves PFS and DCR in pts with advanced GIST after failure of at least IM and SU, likely by continuous kinase inhibition of the bulk of disease clones which retain IM sensitivity. However, TKI-resistant clones continue to progress leading to relatively brief duration of benefit. Clinical trial information: NCT01151852.

LBA10008 Background: Oral multikinase inhibitor regorafenib (REG) demonstrated substantial activity in a phase II trial in pts with GIST after failure of both IM and SU (J Clin Oncol. 2011; 29:606s; abstr 10007). This phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of REG for this unmet clinical need. Methods: Eligible pts had metastatic and/or unresectable GIST, objective failure of both prior IM and SU (progressive disease [PD] on, or intolerance to, IM and PD on SU), ≥1 measurable lesion, ECOG performance status 0 or 1. Pts were randomized 2:1 to receive best supportive care plus either REG 160 mg po once daily (3 wks on/1 wk off) or placebo (PL). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) (modified RECIST 1.1, independent central review). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR, defined as rate of partial response [PR] plus stable disease [SD] lasting for ≥12 wks), response rate and duration, safety and correlative genotype analyses. At time of PD, pts were eligible for unblinding and crossover to open-label REG. Results: Between Jan and Aug of 2011, 234 pts were screened; 199 were randomized (REG: 133, PL: 66). Pts were stratified at randomization according to number of prior systemic therapies and geographical region. Baseline characteristics were balanced between the two arms. The primary endpoint was met: median PFS was 4.8 months for REG vs. 0.9 months for PL. Hazard ratio for PFS was 0.27 (95% CI, 0.18-0.39), p<0.0001. PFS rates at 3 and 6 months were 60% and 38% for REG vs. 11% and 0% for PL. DCR was 53% (REG) vs. 9% (PL).The HR for OS was 0.77 (p=0.20) with 85% PL pts having crossed over to REG. The most common > grade 3 treatment-emergent AEs in the REG arm during double-blind study were hypertension (28%), hand-foot skin reaction (21%), and diarrhea (8%). Conclusions: This randomized trial demonstrated that REG significantly improved PFS and DCR in pts with advanced GIST after failure of at least prior IM and SU. REG was well tolerated, with AEs as expected for this class and manageable with dose modifications.

e15550 Background: The combination of anti-VEGF or anti-EGFR targeted drugs with chemotherapy is the standard first-line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), and the followed maintenance treatment is an optional approach to balance the efficacy and toxicity. However, studies regarding the maintenance strategies based on antiangiogenic TKIs are limited currently. Anlotinib, a novel oral multi-target TKI which can inhibit both tumor angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation simultaneously, substantially prolonged the PFS with manageable toxicity for refractory mCRC in the phase III ALTER0703 clinical trial. Here we report an update on the effectiveness and safety of anlotinib plus XELOX as first-line treatment followed by anlotinib monotherapy for mCRC. Methods: In this open label, single-arm, multicenter phase II clinical trial, 53 mCRC patients without prior systemic treated, aged 18-75 and an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 were planned to recruit. Eligible patients received capecitabine (1000 mg/m2, po, d1-14, q3w) and oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2, iv, d1, q3w) plus anlotinib (10mg, po, d1̃14, q3w) treatment for 6 cycles. After 6 cycles of inducing therapy, patients would receive anlotinib (12mg, po, d1̃14, q3w) as maintenance therapy until disease progression or intolerable adverse events (AEs). The primary endpoint was PFS; Secondary endpoints included ORR, DCR, DOR and safety. Results: By the data analysis cutoff date of January 22, 2021, a total of 18 patients were enrolled, of which 12 patients were available for efficacy assessment. In best overall response assessment, there were 50.0% PR (6/12), 33.3% SD (4/12) and 16.7% PD (2/12). The ORR was 50.0% (95% CI, 21.1-78.9%) and DCR was 83.3% (95% CI, 51.5-97.9%). The longest duration of treatment was 8.8 months and the response was still ongoing. The median PFS was not reached. The most common treatment related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade (≥20%) were leukopenia, hypertension, neutropenia, diarrhea, fatigue, hypertriglyceridemia. Grade 3/4 TRAEs included hypertension (22.2%), hypertriglyceridemia (11.1%), lipase elevated (11.1%) and neutropenia (5.6%). No grade 5 AEs occurred. Conclusions: The update results suggested that anlotinib combined with XELOX as first line regimen followed by anlotinib monotherapy showed promising anti-tumor activity and manageable safety for patients with mCRC. And the conclusions needed to be confirmed in trials continued subsequently. Clinical trial information: ChiCTR1900028417.

8001 Background: Erlotinib (E), a small-molecule EGFR TKI, is proven to extend survival versus placebo (P) in 2nd/3rd-line advanced NSCLC. The phase III SATURN study (BO18192) was initiated to evaluate E as maintenance therapy after standard 1st-line platinum-based chemotherapy (CT) in advanced NSCLC. Methods: Patients with no evidence of disease progression after 4 cycles of CT were randomized to receive either E 150 mg/day or P until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) in all patients and the co-primary endpoint was PFS in EGFR immunohistochemistry-positive (IHC+) patients. Results: A total of 1,949 patients entered the CT phase, of whom 889 were randomized to E (n=438) or P (n=451). Median age was 60 years for both arms. Baseline characteristics for E and P arms (%): male/female: 73/27 and 75/25; adenocarcinoma + BAC/squamous-cell/other: 47/38/15 and 44/43/13; stage IIIB/IV: 26/74 and 24/76; Caucasian/Asian/other: 84/14/2 and 83/15/2; ECOG PS 0/1: 31/69 and 32/68; current/former/never smoker: 55/28/18 and 56/27/17. PFS (by investigator assessment; confirmed by independent review) was significantly prolonged with E versus P in all patients (HR 0.71 [95% CI 0.62–0.82]; p<.0001) and in EGFR IHC+ patients (HR 0.69 [95% CI 0.58–0.82]; p<.0001). Subgroup analyses will be reported. Response rate was 12% with E versus 5% with P. Disease control rate (complete response + partial response + stable disease >12 wks) was 40.8% with E versus 27.4% with P (p<.0001). OS data are not yet mature. E was well tolerated: the majority of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were grade 1/2. AEs reported in ≥10% of all patients were rash (60% with E versus 9% with P) and diarrhea (20% with E versus 5% with P); again, most were grade 1/2. Only 2.3% of patients receiving E had a serious treatment-related AE and 2.8% withdrew due to a treatment-related AE. Conclusions: The SATURN study met its primary and co-primary endpoints with high statistical significance. Erlotinib in the 1st-line maintenance setting is well tolerated, and significantly improves disease control and delays progression versus placebo across patient subgroups. [Table: see text]

Phase 2 Trial

6017 Background: In a single-arm, phase 2 study, we previously demonstrated that in pts with R/M HNSCC, cisplatin, docetaxel and E improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared to historical data (Kim et al., ASCO 2006). Herein, we evaluated this regimen in a single center, randomized, phase 2 trial. Methods: Pts with R/M HNSCC, with a performance status (PS) 0-2, were randomized (1:1) to receive up to 6 cycles of first-line chemotherapy with cisplatin 75 mg/m2 (or carboplatin AUC 6) and docetaxel 75 mg/m2 i.v. on day 1 every 21 days, plus placebo (P) vs. E 150 mg p.o. daily, followed by maintenance P or E until disease progression. The primary endpoint was PFS. With 120 pts, the study had 80% power to detect an improvement in median PFS from 3.0 to 4.9 months with a two-sided type I error rate of 0.1. Results: From 05/2010 to 07/2015, 120 pts were randomized to the P (N = 60) or E (N = 60) groups. All pts but one initiated treatment and were eligible for evaluation of the primary endpoint – 92 males; median age 62 years; 52 oropharynx, 40 oral cavity, 19 larynx, 8 hypopharynx cancer pts; 86 current/former smokers; 43 with recurrence within 6 months of completion of local treatment; 27 with prior exposure to EGFR inhibitors. Median PFS was 4.4 vs. 6.1 months for the P and E groups, respectively (hazard ratio [HR] 0.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.42-0.95 months, p = 0.026). Response rates were 44% vs. 56% for P vs. E (p = 0.21). Median overall survival (OS) for P- and E-treated pts was 13.7 vs. 17.0 months (HR = 0.67, 95% CI 0.43-1.04, p = 0.07). Benefits from E on PFS and OS were more pronounced in pts with oropharyngeal tumors (p≤0.05 for interaction). In the E group, first-cycle rash grade 2-4 (34% pts) was associated with longer OS (HR = 0.40, p = 0.02). E-treated pts experienced a higher incidence of grade 3-4 adverse events (33.9 vs. 53.3%), including diarrhea (3 vs.17%), dehydration (5 vs. 15%), nausea (5 vs. 14%), rash (0 vs. 12%). Conclusions: This study met its primary endpoint. Addition of E to first-line platinum/docetaxel improved PFS and OS. This regimen may warrant further evaluation in randomized, phase 3 trials. Clinical trial information: NCT01064479.

TPS6589 Background: The PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab is currently approved as first-line monotherapy for patients with R/M HNSCC whose tumors express PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥1. In a phase 1b/2 trial (NCT02501096) of pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib (multikinase inhibitor of VEGFR 1-3, FGFR 1-4, PDGFRa, RET, and KIT) in solid tumors, the combination demonstrated promising antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile in patients with HNSCC. LEAP-010 (NCT04199104) is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line pembrolizumab with or without lenvatinib in patients with PD-L1–positive R/M HNSCC. Methods: Key eligibility criteria include histologically confirmed R/M HNSCC incurable by local therapies, PD-L1–positive tumor (CPS ≥1) as determined by central laboratory, measurable disease as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) per RECIST v1.1, and ECOG performance status (PS) 0 or 1. Patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 to pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib or pembrolizumab plus placebo. Randomization will be stratified by PD-L1 status defined by tumor proportion score ( < 50% vs ≥50%), human papillomavirus status for oropharynx cancer (positive vs negative), and ECOG PS (0 or 1). Patients will receive intravenous pembrolizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks for 35 cycles (~2 years) and oral lenvatinib 20 mg or placebo once daily; patients may continue to receive lenvatinib or placebo after pembrolizumab treatment is complete. Treatment will continue until BICR-verified disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Pembrolizumab retreatment (second course) for 17 additional cycles will be allowed for eligible patients who stop pembrolizumab and subsequently experience BICR-verified disease progression. These patients could have stopped treatment with stable disease, partial response, or complete response or after 35 cycles of pembrolizumab for reasons other than disease progression or toxicity. Tumor imaging assessment will be performed at week 6, then every 6 weeks until 1 year, and thereafter every 9 weeks. Primary end points are objective response rate and progression-free survival, assessed by BICR per RECIST v1.1, and overall survival. Secondary end points are duration of response and safety and tolerability. Recruitment is ongoing; planned enrollment is ~500 patients. Clinical trial information: NCT04199104 .

158 Background: There is an unmet medical need for effective treatments for patients with advanced pNET. Systemic therapies for advanced pNET are limited both by toxicity and efficacy. Everolimus, an oral mTOR inhibitor, has shown promising antitumor activity in 2 phase II studies, leading to further investigation in the largest phase III randomized controlled trial completed in pNET patients. Methods: Patients with advanced low- or intermediate-grade pNET were randomly assigned to everolimus 10 mg/d orally + best supportive care (BSC; n = 207) or placebo + BSC (n = 203). Long-acting somatostatin analogs (SSAs) were permitted as BSC during the study. The primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS). At progression (RECIST), patients could be unblinded and those randomly assigned to placebo were offered open-label everolimus. Results: Compared with placebo, everolimus reduced the risk of progression by 65% and increased median PFS by more than 6 months, from 4.6 to 11.0 months (HR = 0.35; 95% CI: 0.27-0.45; p < 0.0001), by investigator review (primary endpoint). Median PFS by central review was consistent (HR = 0.34; 95% CI: 0.26 to 0.44; p < 0.001] in favor of everolimus. Eighteen-month PFS estimates were 34% for everolimus (95% CI: 26-43) vs 9% (95% CI: 4-16) for placebo. Everolimus demonstrated a significant PFS benefit across all patient subgroups according to baseline characteristics and prior SSA use. Prior SSA use was 49% in the everolimus arm and 50% in the placebo arm. Updated analyses of the impact of concomitant SSA will be reported. The most common drug-related adverse events were stomatitis, rash, diarrhea, fatigue, and infections (primarily upper respiratory); most were grade 1 or 2. Stomatitis (6.9% vs 0%), anemia (6% vs 0%), and hyperglycemia (5% vs 2%) were the most common grade 3-4 events. Conclusions: Everolimus significantly prolonged PFS compared with placebo in patients with advanced pNET in this large phase III clinical trial. This benefit was seen across all patient subgroups. Treatment resulted in a significant 6.4-month prolongation in median PFS. Everolimus had an acceptable and predictable safety profile. [Table: see text]

531^ Background: Final PRIME results showed that pmab + CT significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate vs CT alone for first-line wild type (WT) KRAS mCRC. Efficacy and PRO by ST severity from the final descriptive analysis of PRIME are presented. Methods: Patients (pts) had no prior chemotherapy for mCRC, ECOG performance status ≤ 2, and tumor tissue available for biomarker testing. The final analysis occurred 30 months after the last pt was enrolled; the primary endpoint was PFS; secondary endpoints included OS, objective response, and safety. Pts who received treatment and were alive without progression at day 28 were included in the ST analysis. Results: 1183 pts were randomized. 1057 pts with WT or MT KRAS mCRC met the criteria for inclusion in the ST analysis. Maximum grade ST was observed by day 28 in > 50% of pts. Results are shown ( table ). Overall differences in change from baseline of the least square means from a mixed effects model of the EQ-5D Overall Health Rating for pmab + CT (n = 285) minus CT alone (n = 294) and for ST gr 0-1 (n = 53) minus ST gr 2-4 (n = 232) were −1.069 (95% CI: −3.6277 to 1.4896) and 0.8971 (95% CI: ‐4.0224 to 5.8167), respectively. The overall safety profile was broadly comparable across ST groups and treatment arms. Conclusions: Pts with WT KRAS mCRC receiving pmab with ST gr 2-4 had longer PFS and OS vs pts receiving CT alone. PRO were not adversely affected by ST severity. [Table: see text]

3620 Background: The primary and final analyses of PRIME demonstrated that pmab + FOLFOX4 significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) vs FOLFOX4 alone for first-line treatment of patients (pts) with wild-type (WT) KRAS exon 2 mCRC. Methods: Pts were randomized 1:1 to pmab 6.0 mg/kg every 2 weeks + FOLFOX4 or FOLFOX4 alone and had no prior chemotherapy for mCRC, ECOG performance status ≤ 2, and tumor tissue for biomarker testing. The primary endpoint was PFS by central assessment. Secondary endpoints included OS, objective response rate, and safety. KRAS exon 2 tumor status was determined by a blinded central lab prior to the primary analysis. This exploratory analysis of updated survival (>80% OS events) estimated the treatment effect of pmab + FOLFOX4 compared with FOLFOX4 alone on OS by KRAS exon 2 status. Previous analyses in pts with WT KRAS exon 2 tumor status reported OS with an event rate of 54% of pts in the primary analysis and 68% of pts in the final analysis. Results: 1183 pts were randomized and received treatment: 593 pts in the pmab + FOLFOX4 arm and 590 pts in the FOLFOX4 alone arm. The KRAS exon 2 ascertainment rate was 93%, consistent with the primary analysis. 535/656 pts (82%) with WT KRAS exon 2 mCRC had an OS event at the time of this analysis. Results are shown (Table). Conclusions: In this updated analysis, an improvement in OS was observed in pts with WT KRAS exon 2 mCRC treated with pmab + FOLFOX4 vs FOLFOX4 alone (p = 0.03). Median OS was reduced in pts with mutant (MT) KRAS mCRC (p = 0.16) and is consistent with previous analyses. Updated efficacy and safety results will be presented. KRAS testing is critical to select appropriate pts with mCRC for treatment with pmab. Clinical trial information: NCT00364013. [Table: see text]

7595 Background: Most SCLC patients initially respond to chemotherapy but then relapse and die so new therapies are urgently required. Pre-clinical data shows statins induce growth arrest and apoptosis in SCLC and several other tumour cell types and are additive with chemotherapy. This may in part be due to impaired Ras superfamily function as statins deplete mevalonate, reducing geranylgeranylation and farnesylation of these proteins. We therefore undertook this large pragmatic phase III trial in order to determine if overall survival (OS) was affected by the addition of pravastatin in SCLC. Methods: Patients with limited (LD) or extensive (ED) stage SCLC were randomised to pravastatin 40mg OD or placebo for up to 2 years and given standard chemotherapy according to local practice recommended as either cisplatin 60mg/m2 iv or carboplatin AUC 5 or 6 and etoposide 120 mg/m2iv d1 to 3 or 100 mg BD po d2 & 3; max 6 cycles plus radiotherapy as usually given. Patients were excluded if they had used statins within 12 months prior to randomisation. Stratification was: LD vs ED and ECOG 0,1 vs 2,3. Endpoints were: primary - OS; secondary - progression free survival (PFS), local PFS (local control), response rates (RR) and toxicity. Results: Between 2007 and 2012, 846 patients were randomised, 422 (49.9.%) received pravastatin and 424 (50.1%) placebo in 93 participating sites in the UK. The median age was 64 years (range 54-69); ECOG performance status: 0: 23%; 1: 54%; 2: 17% and 3: 6%; weight 72.6 kg; LD, 357 (42.2%); ED, 479 (56.6%); 211 (24.9%) had ipsilateral effusion and 201 (23.8%) had ipsilateral SCF lymph nodes; Relative Dose intensity of cisplatin/carboplatin and etoposide was 91.6% (range 80.8 to 99.7), and 94.7% (range 85.7 to 100); 83.4% vs 86.3% completed > 4 cycles of chemotherapy on the pravastatin and placebo arms respectively. Most patients completed 6 cycles of chemotherapy: 263 (62.3%) vs 265 (62.5%) in the pravastatin vs. placebo groups. Updated results showing OS, PFS, local PFS and toxicity will be presented. Conclusions: This trial will report on whether pravastatin 40 mg OD added to standard therapy alters the outcome for SCLC patients. Clinical trial information: ISRCTN56306957.

4071 Background: There is no validated biomarker to predict the efficacy of BEV, an anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody. Rare cell subpopulations such as CEC are good candidates. Methods: Pts with mCRC, aged 18–75 yrs, ECOG performance status (PS) 0–2, and no prior palliative chemotherapy were randomized to either BEV (5 mg/kg) + FOLFIRI every 2 weeks (arm A, 12 cycles) or BEV (7,5 mg/kg) + XELIRI every 3 weeks (arm B, 8 cycles). BEV was continued until disease progression [PD]. The primary endpoint was crude 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate. In consenting pts, CEC (CD45-CD31+CD146+7- amino-actinomycin- cells) were measured at baseline (Day [D]1, before treatment), D8, and at the end of cycle 1 (D15 or 22) in 1-mL whole blood by four-color flow cytometry according to a method we established previously (J Immunol Methods 2008). Results were correlated to pts’ characteristics and primary endpoint (Wilcoxon's, Fisher's, and trend tests). Results: From 03/06 to 01/08, we enrolled 145 pts (male, 56%; median age, 61 yrs; PS 0–1, 91%; number of metastatic sites [1/2/>2], 45/48/8%). Pts with at least one CEC measurement (n=99; arm A, 51; arm B, 48) did not differ from the 46 other pts regarding sex, age, PS, and number of metastatic sites. Baseline CEC levels (n=97; median, 16/mL) were higher in PS 1–2 pts (n=42) than in PS 0 pts (n=55) (17 vs. 12/mL, p=0.02) (age, sex, number of metastatic sites: NS) and in pts with PD (n=17) than in pts with non- PD (n=80) at 6 months (30 vs. 15/mL, p=0.004). CEC levels were higher at the end of cycle 1 in the PD group (n=17) than in the non-PD group (n=74) (34 vs. 14/mL, p=0.01). The 6-month PFS rate varied from 0% to 32% in the 4 groups defined by baseline and end-of-cycle- 1 CEC values (cutoff: baseline median) (trend test, p=0.006) ( table ). Conclusions: Baseline and end-of-cycle-1 CEC levels may predict tumor control in patients with mCRC starting first-line BEV + chemotherapy. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]
