287 Background: Gem is a standard chemotherapy for unresectable pancreatic cancer (PC) patients (pts); however there is no standard regimen for Gem-refractory PC pts. We often continue to administer Gem for Gem-refractory PC pts because Gem is less toxic. The aim of this study is to elucidate the efficacy of second line treatment in PC. Methods: The pts who were treated with standard dose of Gem and diagnosed disease progression with radiographic findings were randomly allocated to arm A (to treat with best available fluoropyrimidine) or arm B (to continue to treat with standard dose of Gem). Each doctor could choose one of the available fluoropyrimidine (5FU, UFT and S-1) in arm A. Results: We collected 80 patients from Jan, 2004 to Sep, 2008 into this trial. 27 pts (67.5%) were treated with S-1, 8 pts (20%) with UFT and 5 pts (12.5%) with 5FU in arm A. Response Rate were 10% in arm A and 0% in arm B, respectively. Disease Control Rate were 50% and 17.5%, Progression Free Survival Time were 113 days and 50 days (p<0.1050) and Overall Survival Time were 226 days and 161 days (p<0.0384), respectively. Conclusions: Fluoropyrimidine statistically improve survival time in Gem-refractory PC pts, compared to continue Gem. Clinical trial information: UMIN000002154.

561 Background: Weekly cetuximab and irinotecan is a standard regimen in heavily pretreated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC). The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the efficacy of combination chemotherapy with biweekly cetuximab and irinotecan in patients with pretreated MCRC harboring wild-type KRAS. Methods: Patients with wild- type KRAS MCRC that had progressed after chemotherapy with irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and fluoropyrimidine were included in this study. Cetuximab was administered at 500 mg/m2 biweekly with irinotecan. The primary endpoint was response rate. The secondary endpoints included adverse events, progression-free survival, and overall survival. The pharmacokinetics of cetuximab was also evaluated in five patients. Results: From May, 2009 to February, 2010, a total of 31 patients were enrolled from five institutions. One patient was not eligible. Among the 30 assessable patients, ECOG PS was 0 in 12, 1 in 16, and 2 in two patients. The objective response rate was 30.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 14.7-49.4), and the disease control rate (complete response, partial response, or stable disease) was 76.7% (95%CI, 61.4-92.3). The median progression-free survival was 5.3 months (95%CI, 3.4-7.3). Grade 3 skin toxicity was observed in 3 patients (10%), and treatment related death due to pneumonia occurred in one patient. Conclusions: The efficacy data are similar to those of standard dose of cetuximab plus irinotecan. Combination chemotherapy with biweekly cetuximab and irinotecan is effective for pretreated metastatic wild-type KRAS MCRC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e15150 Background: The current standard therapies for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma in Japan are the single-agent Gemcitabine (Gem) or S-1 and Gem plus erlotinib. Irinotecan (CPT-11) is one of the promising drugs for Gem-refractory PC pts. Both Irinotecan and Gem have shown activity against these diseases with different mechanisms and are non-cross-resistant with each other. Japanese pts have the different metabolism with Irinotecan rather than pts in western countries. Methods: The aim of this phase II study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CPT-11 and Gem in Japanese pancreatic cancer pts. Patients with MPC and PS 0-2 were enrolled in this phase II trial. CPT-11, 100mg/m (2), was administered in 90 min. and Gem, 1000mg/m (2), was administered in 30 min. soon after CPT-11 on day1. Chemotherapy was repeated biweekly. Results: From May 2002 to May 2006 40 pts, with median age of 62 (40-74) years, were enrolled in this study. The overall response rate (RR) was 15% with disease control rate of 50%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.0 months (range: 1.0-15.0 months), and median overall survival (OS) was 7.5 months (range: 3.0-24.0 months). Grade 3/4 anemia, leucopenia occurred in 26.3, 5.2% of pts. The most common non-hematologic toxities were fatigue, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting and anorexia. Grade 3 diarrhea and nausea occurred in 10.5% of pts. Conclusions: The combination chemotherapy with Gem and CPT-11 showed favorable RR as expected and the treatment was manageable in Japanese pts with MPC. We plan to evaluate this combination chemotherapy for MPC pts after progression of FOLFIRINOX in near the future. Clinical trial information: UMIN000009963.

729 Background: FOLFOX therapy, an infusion of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) with leucovorin in combination with oxaliplatin (OXA), is a common first-line chemotherapy regimen for unresectable, advanced or recurrent colorectal carcinoma (CRC). However, long-term administration of OXA is associated with peripheral neuropathy (PN); decreasing treatment length of OXA may be beneficial without reducing its efficacy. Methods: Chemotherapy-naïve pts aged ≥20 yrs with RAS wild-type advanced/recurrent CRC were enrolled to receive 6 cycles of panitumumab (Pmab) + mFOLFOX6 once every 2 wks. Pts who completed 6 cycles of Pmab + mFOLFOX6 and confirmed no progressive disease were subsequently randomized 1:1 to continue to receive Pmab + mFOLFOX6 (arm 1) or Pmab + 5-FU/LV (arm 2). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 9 mos after randomization. The threshold PFS rate was defined as 30%, and the expected rate was set at 50%, with a 90% power and a 1-sided alpha value of 0.10. In the primary analysis, a binomial test was conducted separately for each arm. This study was designed as a phase II randomized screening comparison study which does not use direct comparison for the primary analysis. Results: Of 164 enrolled pts who received initial Pmab + mFOLFOX6 treatment, 56 were randomized to arm 1 and 57 to arm 2. PFS rates at 9 mos after randomization were significantly higher than the defined threshold at 44.6% (80% CI, 36.4–53.2) in arm 1 and 47.4% (39.1–55.8) in arm 2. Median PFS after randomization was 9.1 (8.6–11.2) and 9.3 (6.0–13.0) mos, respectively. Grade ≥2 PNs occurred in 6 (10.7%) and 1 (1.8%) pts in arms 1 and 2, respectively. Serious AEs occurred in 14 (25.0%) pts in arm 1 and in 9 (16.7%) pts in arm 2. Conclusions: The results of this trial suggest that Pmab + 5-FU/LV after 6 fixed-cycles of Pmab + mFOLFOX6 may be a treatment option in pts with RAS wild type chemotherapy-naïve advanced/recurrent CRC. Pts treated with Pmab + 5-FU/LV had a lower occurrence of grade ≥2 PNs compared with Pmab + mFOLFOX6. Clinical trial information: NCT02337946.

101 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICKi) are highly effective for MSI/dMMR mCRC pts. RECIST1.1 criteria are reported to underestimate response to ICKi. The GERCOR NIPICOL phase II study aimed to evaluate disease control rate (DCR) using RECIST1.1 and iRECIST for MSI/dMMR mCRC pts treated with nivolumab (NIVO) and ipilimumab (IPI). Methods: MSI/dMMR mCRC pts previously treated with fluoropyrimidines (FP), oxaliplatin (OX) and irinotecan (IRI) ± targeted therapies received NIVO 3 mg/kg + IPI 1 mg/kg Q3W for 4 cycles then NIVO 3 mg/kg Q2W until progression or a maximum of 20 cycles. CT-scan tumor assessments were done every 6 weeks during 24 weeks and then every 12 weeks. Primary objective was DCR at 12 weeks (12wDCR) according to RECIST1.1 and iRECIST by central review. Response rates and progression-free survival (PFS) by central review were secondary objectives. A one-stage Fleming design was used with a targeted improvement of 12wDCR from 70% to 85%. Results: Of 57 pts included between Dec 2017 and Nov 2018, 43.9% had received ≥ 3 prior lines including FP (100%), OX (100%), IRI (95.5%), antiangiogenics (57.9%) and anti-EGFRs (45.6%). 17.5% of pts had BRAF mutation and 27.5% Lynch syndrome. Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events were reported in 49.1% of pts, mainly hepatitis (12.3%). 12wDCR was 86.0% and 87.7% using RECIST1.1 and iRECIST respectively, with only 1 pseudo-progression (1.8%) observed during the first 12 weeks, and one later. Kappa coefficient between RECIST and iRECIST 12wDCR was 0.92 (95%CI 0.77-1.0). Best observed responses with RECIST1.1/iRECIST were: 2/2 complete responses (3.5/3.5%), 19/19 partial responses (33.3/33.3%), 30/31 stable diseases (52.6/54.4%) and 3/2 disease progressions (5.3/3.5%), with 3 pts not evaluable (cancer-related deaths before first evaluation). Conclusions: Combination of NIVO and IPI in MSI/dMMR mCRC is associated with a low frequency of pseudo-progression and high DCR rate. PFS will be evaluated in Dec 2019, with all pts having completed the predefined 1-year of ICKi therapy. Clinical trial information: NCT033501260.

3631 Background: PEAK estimated the tx effect of FOLFOX6 with pmab or bev in 1st-line WT KRAS mCRC. The PRIME study showed significantly improved progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) with pmab + FOLFOX vs FOLFOX in pts with WT RAS (KRAS/NRAS exons 2, 3, 4) mCRC in a prospective-retrospective analysis (unpublished data). Methods: This prospective-retrospective analysis of PEAK was designed to assess the effect of pmab + FOLFOX6 or bev + FOLFOX6 on PFS (primary endpoint) and OS in WT RAS (KRAS/NRAS exons 2, 3, 4) mCRC. Pts were required to have WT KRAS exon 2 tumors. Bidirectional Sanger sequencing and Transgenomic SURVEYOR/WAVE analysis were independently conducted to detect mutations in KRAS exon 3 (codons 59/61), exon 4 (codons 117/146); NRAS exon 2 (codons 12/13), exon 3 (codons 59/61), exon 4 (codons 117/146); BRAF exon 15 (codon 600) in banked specimens. Results: 285 WT KRAS (exon 2) mCRC patients (pts) were randomized, 278 received tx. The current RAS ascertainment rate is 75%. Tx HRs (pmab:bev) for pts with WT RAS were 0.63 (95% CI, 0.43-0.94; p = 0.02) for PFS and 0.55 (95% CI, 0.30-1.01; p = 0.06) for OS (Table). The incidence of worst grade 3-5 adverse events was consistent with the primary analysis. Updated OS and BRAF results will be presented. Conclusions: In this 1st-line estimation study in WT RAS mCRC, PFS and OS HR favored pmab + FOLFOX6 relative to bev + FOLFOX6, suggesting that activating RAS mutations appear to be predictive for pmab tx effect. The safety profile for both arms was consistent with previously reported studies. Clinical trial information: NCT00819780. [Table: see text]

6029 Background: PARTNER was a multicenter, randomized phase II estimation study evaluating 1stEline tx of R/M SCCHN with doc/cis ± pmab. Methods: Patients (pts) were randomized 1:1 to doc/cis with pmab (Arm 1) or doc/cis alone (Arm 2). Arm 1 received 9 mg/kg pmab on day 1 of each 21-day cycle, and all pts received 1stEline doc/cis both at 75 mg/m2 on day 1 for up to 6 cycles. In Arm 1, pts could receive pmab monotherapy upon completion of 6 cycles of doc/cis until disease progression (PD). In Arm 2, pts could receive pmab as 2ndEline monotherapy upon PD. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety. HPV status was determined using p16 INK IHC. No formal hypothesis was tested. Results: Baseline characteristics were balanced between arms. Of 103 pts, HPV status was evaluable in 66 (64%); 29% were HPV positive. Efficacy results are shown (Table). Worst grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) were 73% in Arm 1 vs 56% in Arm 2. Conclusions: Median PFS was increased in both arms over historical doublet cytotoxic chemotherapy. PFS and ORR were higher in the pmab arm in the overall population, in the HPV positive (n=19) group, and in the HPV negative (n=47) group. There was an increase in grade 3/4 AEs with this regimen. The crossover design, with 57% of Arm 2 pts receiving pmab as 2ndEline monotherapy, confounds interpretation of OS. Clinical trial information: NCT00454779. [Table: see text]

8502 Background: Metformin, a diabetes agent that inhibits mitochondria complex I, enhances radiotherapy and chemotherapy responses in pre-clinical models of NSCLC. NRG-LU001 examined whether metformin can improve outcomes of curative CRT in locally advanced (LA)-NSCLC. Methods: The primary endpoint of this trial was 1-year progression free survival (PFS). Unresected, non-diabetic, stage IIIA/B NSCLC patients were randomized (1:1) to either carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy concurrent with chest RT (60Gy), followed by consolidation carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy (Control Arm) or the same and oral metformin (2000mg daily) during cytotoxic therapy (Experimental Arm). PFS and overall survival (OS) were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method; time to local-regional progression (TTLRP), time to distant metastasis (TTDM) were estimated using the cumulative incidence method. Adverse events (AEs) were graded with CTCAE v.4.0. Results: Between Aug.2014 and Dec.2016, 170 patients were accrued. Analysis was planned at 102 PFS events (Feb. 2019). There was no significant difference in rates or grade of toxicity between the two arms. 1- and 2-year PFS was 60.4% (95% CI: 48.5, 70.4) and 40.1% (95% CI: 29.0, 51.0) in Control vs 51.3% (95% CI: 39.8, 61.7) and 34.5% (95% CI: 24.2, 45.1) in the Metformin arm (multivariable Cox proportional HR=1.20 (95% CI: 0.81, 1.78), p=0.36). OS at 2 years was 65.4% (95% CI: 53.5, 75.0) for Control vs 64.9% (95% CI: 53.1, 74.5) for the Metformin arm (HR=1.03 (95% CI: 0.64, 1.68)), while deaths due to disease were 90% vs 71%, respectively. No significant differences were found for TTLRP or TTDM. Conclusions: NRG-LU001 center reported outcomes show that oral daily metformin was well-tolerated in combination with CRT treatment for LA-NSCLC. However, metformin did not improve PFS and OS and did not alter the rates of local-regional failure or distant metastasis. Acknowledgements: TT and HS are Co-Principal Investigators.

e15756 Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most aggressive and death-relating malignancy. Gemcitabine (GEM) is the key agent in the first-line standard regimen for advanced PC, which is mostly diagnosed at advanced stage and unsuitable for curative resection. The objective responsive rate (ORR) and medium progression free survival (PFS) of various GEM-based regimens are still unsatisfied. Therefore, development of new therapeutic modalities, including immunotherapy, is needed. This study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and clinical beneficial of combination neoantigen based immunotherapy with GEM and radiotherapy in locally advanced and metastatic PC patients. Methods: Three locally advanced unresectable and seven metastatic PC patients received at least two cycles of GEM (1000mg/m2 on day 1 and day 6), radiotherapy combing with neoantigen induced DC vaccination on day 7 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte transfer from day 12 to 15 (repeated every 21 days). The locally advanced unresectable PC patients received stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) with a total amount of 50-66Gy during the first cycle. For metastatic patients, their partial lesions received a low dose radiation (0.5Gy bid*2days ) on day 10 and 11 in each cycle. Results: Two cases were observed with partial remission (PR), five with stable disease (sd), and three with progressive disease (PD). The disease control rate (DCR) was 70%. Median progression free survival (PFS) was 6.4 months. After the first treatment cycle, the total effectiveness for pain easement and increasing appetite are 100% (8/8)and 66.7%, respectively. Haematotoxicities with a 40% incidence rate were the most common adverse drug reactions. Two patients had grade 1 to 2 neutropenia, two with grade 3 to 4 thrombocytopenia. Three patients suffered grade 1 to 2 gemcitabine-induced skin rash. No treatment-related mortality occurred. Conclusions: Neoantigen reactive T cells combined chemoradiotherapy demonstrated an acceptable response and safety in advanced pancreatic cancer patients.

Background/Aim: FOLFIRINOX (oxaliplatin, irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin) combination chemotherapy is the gold-standard therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer. In this study, FOLFIRINOX dosages for Japanese patients were established enabling FOLFIRINOX therapy optimization for efficient use. Patients and Methods: Patients with advanced pancreatic cancer were treated with varying doses of FOLFIRINOX to determine the optimum dosage for highest remission outcomes with the least post-chemotherapy toxicities. Results: Patients given 180 mg of irinotecan and a 400 mg bolus of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) showed a marked difference in outcome when compared to irinotecan 180 mg given without the 5-FU bolus, with the overall response rate being 28%, a survival time of 6.4 months and progression-free survival time of 4.5 months. Conclusion: The optimum dose of FOLFIRINOX was a dosage combination of oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, irinotecan 180 mg/m2, l-leucovorin 400 mg/m2 and 5-FU 2,400 mg/m2, administered as a continuous 46-h infusion.

Purpose Trebananib, an investigational recombinant peptide-Fc fusion protein, neutralizes the receptor-ligand interaction between Tie2 and angiopoietin-1/2. This phase II study was conducted to evaluate trebananib plus sunitinib, a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor, in patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Patients and Methods Adults with metastatic renal cell carcinoma were enrolled sequentially onto two cohorts that received sunitinib 50 mg once per day for 4 weeks on and 2 weeks off and intravenous trebananib once per week at a dose of 10 mg/kg in cohort A or 15 mg/kg in cohort B. The primary end points were incidences of adverse events (AEs) and dose interruptions of sunitinib during the first 12 weeks of treatment. Secondary end points included objective response rate and progression-free survival. Results Eighty-five patients were enrolled: 43 in cohort A, and 42 in cohort B. During the first 12 weeks of treatment, 58% and 57% of patients in cohorts A and B, respectively, had sunitinib dose interruptions (dose decrease, withholding, or withdrawal). The most frequent AEs were diarrhea (cohort A, 74%; cohort B, 67%), mucosal inflammation (cohort A, 49%; cohort B, 60%), and hypertension (cohort A, 52%; cohort B, 45%). AEs of grade 3 or greater occurred in 58% of patients in cohort A and in 69% of patients in cohort B. The objective response rate was 58% and 63% in cohorts A and B, respectively. The median progression-free survival time was 13.9 months (95% CI, 10.4 to 19.2) and 16.3 months (95% CI, 13.1 to 21.4) in cohorts A and B, respectively. The median overall survival time was 36 months (95% CI, 25.2 to not estimable) in cohort A and was not estimable (median follow-up, 25 months) in cohort B. Conclusion Trebananib plus sunitinib seemed to increase toxicity at the tested doses. Efficacy results suggest a potential benefit for the addition of trebananib to sunitinib.
