460 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 mCRC, with progression-free survival (PFS) as the primary endpoint. We previously reported that IRIS plus bevacizumab (IRIS/Bev) is very effective as first-line treatment (Komatsu Y et al. Acta Oncol. 2012 May 4). We now report the final results of this study. Methods: Eligible patients had to have mCRC with a confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, an age of >20 years, ECOG performance status (PS) of 0-1, and no history of prior chemotherapy. S-1 (40-60 mg depending on patients body surface area) was given orally, twice daily for 2 consecutive weeks, and 100 mg/m2irinotecan and 5 mg/kg bevacizumab was given intravenously on day 1 and 15, followed by 2-week rest period, within a 4-week cycle. The primary endpoint was safety. The secondary endpoints included overall response (OR), PFS, and overall survival (OS). Results: A total of 53 patients were enrolled from October 2007 through March 2009. The results were reported for 52 patients with evaluable lesions. The clinical characteristics of the patients were as follows. The median age was 63.5 years (range, 48 to 82). The male:female ratio was 3:2. The most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events were neutropenia (27%) and diarrhea (17%). Grade 3 or 4 hypertension (21%) was attributed to bevacizumab, but there were no life-threatening adverse events, such as gastrointestinal perforation. On an intention-to-treat basis, OR was 63.5% [95% confidence interval (CI) 50.4-76.5%], and the disease control rate was 94.2%. With a median follow-up time of 51.7 months, median PFS was 17.0 months (95%C.I. 14.2-19.8 months) and median survival time was 39.6 months (95%C.I. 34.2-45.0 months). Conclusions: IRIS/Bev is a remarkably active and generally well-tolerated first-line treatment for patients with mCRC. Randomized control trial comparing this regimen with oxaliplatin containing regimen(XELOX or mFOLFOX6 plus bevacizumab: TRICOLORE study) is already started. Clinical trial information: NCT00569790.

We previously reported that IRIS plus bevacizumab(IRIS/bev) is very effective as first-line treatment (Komatsu Y et al. ESMO 2010). We now report the updated results of this study. Methods: Eligible patients had to have mCRC with a confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, an age of >20 years, ECOG performance status (PS) of 0-1, and no history of prior chemotherapy. S-1 40-60 mg twice daily p.o. was given on days 1-14 and irinotecan 100 mg/m2 and bevacizumab 5 mg/kg i.v. were given on days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. The primary endpoint was safety. The secondary endpoints included overall response (OR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: The target number of 53 patients was enrolled as of March 2009. The results are reported for 52 patients with evaluable lesions. The clinical characteristics of the patients were as follows. The median age was 63.5 years (range, 48 to 82). The male:female ratio was 3:2. The performance status on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scale was 0. In January 2012, on safety analysis, the incidence of grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was 27%. The incidences of other grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions were as follows: diarrhea, 17%; anorexia, 4%; stomatitis, 2%; hypertension, 21%; and gastrointestinal perforation, 0%. The overall response rate was 63.5%. Three patients had complete response. Thirty patients had partial response, 16 had stable disease, none had progressive disease, and 3 were not evaluable. Median progression-free survival was 17.0 months and median survival time was 39.6 months. Conclusions: IRIS/Bev is a remarkably active and generally well-tolerated first-line treatment for patients with mCRC. Randomized control trial comparing this regimen with oxaliplatin containing regimen(XELOX or mFOLFOX6 plus bevacizumab) is being planned.

4035 Background: FOLFOX-4 is a standard first-line treatment for patients (pts) with mCRC. The IgG1 monoclonal antibody cetuximab has proven activity in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy. Excellent response rates (RRs) have been reported with first-line cetuximab and FOLFOX-4. This randomized, controlled study was conducted to compare RRs of FOLFOX-4 + cetuximab vs FOLFOX-4. Methods: Pts with previously untreated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-expressing mCRC not resectable with curative intent were eligible. They were randomized 1:1, stratified by ECOG performance status (PS) (0–1 vs 2), to either Group A (cetuximab 400 mg/m2 initial dose then 250 mg/m2/week plus FOLFOX-4 every 2 weeks [oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 day (d) 1; FA 200 mg/m2 d1, 2; 5-FU 400 mg/m2 bolus + 600 mg/m2 infusion over 22 h, d1, 2]) or Group B (FOLFOX-4 only). The primary objective was the best confirmed RR assessed by independent review; secondary objectives were progression- free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), the R0 resection rate after metastatic surgery of curative intent and safety. Results: Between July 2005 and March 2006, 337 pts were randomized and treated in more than 70 centers in Europe. 181 (53.7%) pts were male; the median age of all pts was 61.0 years [24–82]; 305 (90.5%) pts had an ECOG PS of 0 or 1, and 32 (9.5%) of 2. The best overall confirmed RR was 45.6% in A and 35.7% in B. For pts with ECOG PS 0–1, RR was 49.0% in A and 36.8% in B (Odds Ratio 1.648, 95%CI [1.043- 2.604]). PFS and OS results are not yet available. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were neutropenia (27.6% in A; 31.5% in B), diarrhea (7.1 and 6.0%), leucopenia (7.1 and 5.4%) and rash (9.4%, in A only). Conclusions: The addition of cetuximab increased the RR of FOLFOX-4 in first-line treatment of mCRC. Grade 3/4 adverse events, with the exception of skin rash, were not significantly more frequent in the cetuximab arm. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

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.

3579 Background: Irinotecan (I) plus bolus 5-FU (F) and leucovorin (L) comprise the IFL regimen, a very active treatment in mCRC when combined with bevacizumab (B). The response rate (RR) for IFL-B given as first-line treatment is 45%, with a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 10.6 months and a median survival of 20.3 months. The IFL regimen is now considered inferior to infusional 5-FU regimens, such as FOLFIRI, which have less toxicity and improved efficacy. Methods: We designed a 43 patient (pt), single-arm phase II trial of FOLFIRI-B with B (5mg/kg), I (180mg/m2), bolus of F (400mg/m2) and L (400mg/m2) followed by a 46-hour infusion of F (2400mg/m2), with a primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS). Chemotherapy naïve mCRC patients (pts) with adequate organ function and performance status 0–2 received B alone on Day minus 14, starting FOLFIRI + B on Day 1. DCE-MRI and laboratory correlates were completed before and after B alone and cycle 1. Once cycle is equivalent to two weeks. Results: 21 pts, median age 59 y/o (range 26–75), M:F = 15:6, 4 with prior F in adjuvant setting, have been enrolled to date. 20 pts are evaluable for response. One pt is too early. A total of 215 cycles have been administered (median 11). Median PFS has not been reached after a median follow-up of 8 months. By intent-to-treat analysis, there were 14 PRs (70%), and 5 (25%) pts with stable disease observed (including 1 unconfirmed PR). PRs were observed from 9 to 35 weeks after the first cycle (median: 18 weeks). 9 pts remain on treatment (1–12 months); 12 pts are off study (3 for progressive disease, 1 withdrew, 4 sent for curative surgery, 2 for toxicity, 2 sent for surgery unrelated to cancer). Toxicity included 10 cases of grade 3 neutropenia, including 1 febrile neutropenia, 4 venous thrombi, and 6 cases of hypertension requiring medication change. One pt included in the analysis developed peritonitis, considered a possible microperforation, after B alone and never received FOLFIRI. No ≥ grade 3 diarrhea was observed. Analysis of correlative studies will be presented at a later date. Conclusion: Our preliminary results indicate that FOLFIRI-B is well tolerated and an excellent choice as a first-line treatment for mCRC. [Table: see text]

4089 Background: When compared to bolus 5-fluorouracil (F), leucovorin (L), and irinotecan (I) regimens such as IFL, the infusional F, L, I regimen (FOLFIRI) resulted in a improved toxicity profile with a response rate (RR) of 35% and median progression free survival (PFS) of 6.7 months. When combined with bevacizumab (B) as first-line treatment, IFL demonstrated improved activity with a RR of 45% and a median PFS of 10.6 months. Combining FOLFIRI and B may further improve the efficacy. Methods: We designed a single-arm, phase II trial of FOLFIRI+B with B (5mg/kg), I (180mg/m2), bolus of F (400mg/m2) and L (400mg/m2) with a 46-hour infusion of F (2400mg/m2) every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was PFS. Chemotherapy naïve mCRC patients (pts) with a performance status of 0–2 received B alone on Day -14, starting FOLFIRI+B on Day 1. Proteomic and radiographic correlative studies were completed and will be reported separately. Results: N=41 pts, median age 56 y/o (range 26–78), M:F = 16:25, 5 pts with prior adjuvant therapy, were enrolled from 1/2005 to 1/2007. A total of 502 cycles have been administered (median = 12). The median PFS is 12.6 months. Response rate by intention-to-treat analysis was 62% (24 pts), with 33% stable disease (13 pts). Responses occurred after a median of 4 months of therapy. Fifteen pts remain on treatment; 26 pts are off study: 7 for progressive disease, 2 withdrew consent, 7 for toxicity and 2 for surgery unrelated to cancer. Eight pts were removed from the study for metastasectomies. Grade 3 or 4 toxicities included 17 occurrences of grade = 3 neutropenia, including 1 grade 4 febrile neutropenia, 4 grade 4 pulmonary emboli, 2 grade 3 hand-foot syndrome, and 1 grade 3 diarrhea. One pt included in the analysis developed a possible microperforation, manifested by peritonitis, after B alone and never received FOLFIRI. Conclusion: FOLFIRI+B is well-tolerated and efficacious, with an impressive PFS that compares favorably to historical controls. This regimen is an excellent choice as a first-line treatment for mCRC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e14705 Background: There are a number of options for first line treatment for AGC. We sought to review the efficacy and tolerability of FOLFOX (F) in AGC, and compare outcomes with anthracycline-based (A) ctx-treated patients (pts). Methods: Pts with AGC treated with F and A (EOX and ECF) were identified from institutional database. Pt. demographics, disease characteristics and treatment details were extracted from medical charts and pharmacy database. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated from commencement of ctx to radiographic evidence of progression and death, respectively, estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. Comparisons were made via log-rank method. Other descriptive statistics calculated via t-test or chi-square methods as appropriate. Results: Between July 05 and December 11, 27 pts were treated with F. Twenty-one (77.8%) were male and median age was 68yrs (range: 42 – 77). ECOG performance status was 0 -1 in 24 pts (88.9%) and 2 in 3 (11.1%). Median Charlson score prior to metastatic disease was 2 (range: 0 – 3). Three had relapsed disease and another three had locally-advanced disease. Sites of metastatic disease were liver (12), peritoneum (12), non-regional nodes (2) and lungs (2). Median number of cycles of F was 5 (range: 1 - 12), 51.8% of pts completed ≥10 cycles, while the rest discontinued treatment due to disease progression (33%) and toxicities (14.8%). 21 pts (77.8%) required dose reduction and 17 (63%) experienced treatment delay. Fourteen (51.8%), 6 and 2 pts had 2nd, 3rd and 4th line of ctx, respectively. Median PFS was 7.2 mos and median OS is 9.7 mos. Sixteen pts were treated with A. Pts were significantly younger (p=0.002) but other characteristics were similar. Median PFS with A was 6.6 mos and median OS was 9.2 mos. The hazard ratio (F vs A) for PFS was 1.11 (95% CI 0.56 to 2.18, p = 0.77) and for OS was 0.73 (95% CI 0.36 to 1.51, p = 0.40). Conclusions: Despite an older pts cohort with co-morbidities, high percentage of treatment delays and dose reductions, our data suggest that significant percentage of pts were able to complete ≥10 cycles of F and subsequent therapies. Outcomes are comparable to our A cohort and published data.

FOLFIRINOX (FX) and gemcitabine (GEM) plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP) have been reported as effective regimens for unresectable advanced pancreatic cancer (APC). FX may be more effective but is also associated with more adverse events (AEs). Therefore, first-line treatment with FX followed by second-line GnP may be appropriate. Aims: To assess the safety and efficacy of second-line GnP for patients with APC after first-line FX failure. Methods: This study was a multicenter prospective phase II study evaluating second-line GnP in patients with APC after failed first-line FX. The primary endpoint was response rate (RR), and the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS), and the frequency and degree of adverse events (AEs). Results: Thirty patients (14 male; median age, 64 years) were enrolled. The RR was 13.3%, with a median follow-up time of 9.3 months. The median OS and PFS were 7.6 and 3.8 months, respectively. From the beginning of first-line treatment, the median OS and PFS were 14.2 and 9.3 months, respectively. Grade 3 or 4 AEs were seen in 70% of patients. Conclusion: Second-line GnP after FX failure for patients with APC could be more effective than GEM alone. Further comparison studies are warranted.

7584 Background: CT- 322 is a pegylated protein engineered from the tenth type III human fibronectin domain thatspecifically blocks VEGFR-2 signaling by all known ligands. This international randomized study assessed the efficacy and safety of PC + CT-322 compared to PC + Bev as first-line treatment for advanced non-squamous NSCLC. Methods: In addition to paclitaxel 200 mg/m2and carboplatin AUC 6 given on day 1 of a 21 day cycle(maximum 6 cycles), subjects, stratified by ECOG performance status, disease stage, and site, were randomized 1:1 to receive either CT-322 2 mg/kg on days 1, 8, and 15 (arm A) or Bev 15 mg/kg on day 1 and placebo on days 8 and 15 (arm B). CT -322 and Bev/placebo were continued as maintenance until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), response rate, and safety. Results: 255 subjects were randomized to arm A (n=127) or arm B (n=128). Baseline characteristics were wellbalanced. After a median follow- up of 13.8 months, 9 subjects on arm A and 24 on arm B remained on study treatment. The median treatment duration was 19 weeks in arm A and 26.3 weeks on arm B. The median PFS in arm A was 5.6 months compared to 6.8 months in arm B (HR 1.51, 1 -sided p=0.997). In all prespecified subgroups, PFS was favored in arm B. The response rate was 25.2% in arm A compared to 32.8% in arm B. Median OS was 12.5 months in arm A compared to 15.2 months in arm B. The most common grade ≥ 3 adverse events (Arm A vs B) were neutropenia (47.2% vs 49.2%), thrombocytopenia (11.8% vs 6.3%), and fatigue (10.2% in both arms). Grade ≥ 3 hypertension was more frequently reported in arm A (8.7% vs 3.1%). Grade ≥ 3 venous thrombosis (5.5% vs 6.3%), proteinuria (1.6% vs 2.3%), and bleeding events (0.8% vs 1.6%) were similar. Conclusions: PC + CT-322 failed to improve PFS, OS, or response rate compared to PC + Bev. However, thesafety profile in the PC + CT-322 arm was consistent with the anti-angiogenic mechanism of action, suggesting that CT-322 has biological activity as an inhibitor of VEGFR-2.

336 Background: First-line FOLFOXIRI demonstrated superior activity and efficacy compared to FOLFIRI. Moreover, the outcome is improved by the addition of bev to first-line doublets. A phase II study of FOLFOXIRI/bev showed promising activity and manageable toxicities. The present trial compared FOLFOXIRI/bev to FOLFIRI/bev as first-line treatment in unresectable mCRC. Methods: Eligibility criteria included: measurable and unresectable mCRC, age 18-75 years, no prior chemotherapy for advanced disease. Patients (pts) were randomized to either FOLFIRI/bev (bev 5 mg/kg, irinotecan 180 mg/sqm, l-LV 200 mg/sqm, 5FU bolus 400 mg/sqm, 5FU infusion 2400 mg/sqm over 48h q2w, arm A) or FOLFOXIRI/bev (bev 5 mg/kg, irinotecan 165 mg/sqm, oxaliplatin 85 mg/sqm, l-LV 200 mg/sqm, 5FU infusion 3200 mg/sqm over 48h q2w, arm B). Treatment was planned for a maximum of 12 cycles followed by maintenance with bev and 5FU until progression. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Results: Between July 2008 and May 2011, 508 pts were randomized among 35 italian centers. Pts characteristics were (arm A/arm B): median age 60/61 yrs, ECOG PS 1-2 11%/10%, synchronous metastases 81%/79% multiple sites of disease 74%/70%. At a median follow-up of 20.9 months 391 pts have progressed. The study met its primary endpoint: FOLFOXIRI/bev significantly increased PFS (median 9.5 vs 11.9 months, HR 0.72 [95%CI:0.59-0.87], p=0.001). Response rate was also significantly increased (53% vs 64%, p=0.015). Main per patient toxicities were (arm A/arm B): grade 3-4 diarrhea 10%/18%, grade 3-4 vomiting 3%/4%, grade 3-4 stomatitis 4%/8%, grade 3-4 peripheral neurotoxicity 0%/5%, grade 3-4 neutropenia 20%/49%, febrile neutropenia 6%/8%, hypertension 2%/4%, thromboembolic events 7%/7%, bleeding 1%/1%. Deaths within 60 days were 3% and 4%. Conclusions: FOLFOXIRI/bev significantly increases PFS and response rate compared to FOLFIRI/bev. Chemotherapy- and bev-related toxicities occur with the expected incidence. Clinical trial information: NCT00719797.

9000 Background: In the randomized phase 3 CheckMate 9LA trial (NCT03215706), first-line NIVO + IPI combined with 2 cycles of chemo significantly improved overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR) vs chemo alone (4 cycles). Clinical benefit was observed regardless of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression level and histology. Here we report data with 2 years’ minimum follow-up from this study. Methods: Adult patients (pts) with stage IV / recurrent NSCLC, ECOG performance status ≤ 1, and no known sensitizing EGFR/ALK alterations were stratified by PD-L1 (< 1% vs ≥ 1%), sex, and histology (squamous vs non-squamous) and were randomized 1:1 to NIVO 360 mg Q3W + IPI 1 mg/kg Q6W + chemo (2 cycles; n = 361) or chemo alone (4 cycles; n = 358). Pts with non-squamous NSCLC in the chemo-alone arm could receive pemetrexed maintenance. The primary endpoint was OS. Secondary endpoints included PFS and ORR by blinded independent central review, and efficacy by different PD-L1 levels. Safety was exploratory. Results: At a minimum follow-up of 24.4 months for OS (database lock: Feb 18, 2021), pts treated with NIVO + IPI + chemo continued to derive OS benefit vs chemo, with a median OS of 15.8 months vs 11.0 months, respectively (HR, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.61–0.86]); 2-year OS rates were 38% vs 26%. Median PFS with NIVO + IPI + chemo vs chemo was 6.7 months vs 5.3 months (HR, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.56–0.79]); 8% and 37% of pts who had disease progression received subsequent immunotherapy, respectively. ORR was 38% with NIVO + IPI + chemo vs 25% with chemo. Similar clinical benefit with NIVO + IPI + chemo vs chemo was observed in all randomized pts and across the majority of subgroups, including by PD-L1 expression level (Table) or histology. Any grade and grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events were reported in 92% and 48% of pts in the NIVO + IPI + chemo arm vs 88% and 38% in the chemo arm, respectively. Conclusion: With 2 years’ minimum follow-up, first-line NIVO + IPI + chemo demonstrated durable survival and benefit versus chemo in pts with advanced NSCLC; no new safety signals were identified. Clinical trial information: NCT03215706. [Table: see text]
