312 Background: Platinum-refractory UC has a dismal prognosis, with no FDA-approved second-line therapies. Somatic mutations and copy number (CN) variation in EGFR (ErbB1), HER2 (ErbB2), and ErbB3 are frequent in UC and may represent viable targets for novel therapies. We aimed to investigate whether afatinib, an oral, irreversible Erb family blocker, has clinical benefit in metastatic UC. Methods: In this single arm, phase II trial, patients (pts) with unresectable platinum-refractory UC who received ≤1 chemotherapy in the metastatic setting received afatinib 40 mg/day continuously until disease progression or intolerable toxicity.Primary endpoint was 3-month progression-free survival (PFS3), with drug deemed promising if ≥42% pts had PFS3. Pre-specified analysis for EGFR, HER2, ErbB3, and ErbB4 was conducted using targeted next-generation sequencing (Life Technologies) and CN analysis (Taqman). Results: 15 ptshave enrolled: median age 66 (44-78), 11 M/4 F, ECOG PS 0 in 20%, PS 1 in 80%, Hb<10 g/dl in 20%, liver metastases in 13%, median time from prior chemotherapy=4.4 mo. Rash (73%), diarrhea (33%), and fatigue (13%) were the most common drug-related toxicities; 1 pt required dose-reduction (grade 3 fatigue). 3/14 pts (21%) had PFS3 (1 partial response (PR), 2 stable disease); 1 pt has not reached 3 mo on therapy. All 3 responders had molecular alterations in Erb genes: 1 pt with 4 copies of HER2 achieved PR and responded for 6.9 mo; 1 pt with Gly284Arg ErbB3 mutation responded for 7 mo; and 1 pt with 73 copies of HER2 and Arg103Gly ErbB3 mutation never progressed on therapy, but discontinued after 10.3 mo due to depressed left ventricular ejection fraction. None of the 10 non-responders had alterations in these four genes. Time to progression/discontinuation was 8.1 mo in pts with molecular alterations vs. 1.8 for pts without alterations (p=0.02). Conclusions: Afatinib demonstrates activity in platinum-refractory UC, with all responders bearing HER2 and/or ErbB3 alterations. The potential contribution of ErbB3 to afatinib sensitivity is novel. These data support ongoing testing of afatinib as a potential therapy for refractory UC in marker-selected pts. Clinical trial information: NCT02122172.

459 Background: Metastatic UC has a dismal prognosis, with no FDA-approved second-line therapies. Somatic mutations and copy number (CN) variation in EGFR (ErbB1), HER2 (ErbB2), and ErbB3 are frequent in UC and may represent viable therapeutic targets. We studied whether afatinib, an oral, irreversible Erb family blocker, has activity in UC. Methods: In this single arm, phase II trial, patients (pts) with unresectable platinum-refractory UC received afatinib 40 mg/day continuously until progression or intolerance.The primary endpoint was 3-mo progression-free survival (PFS3) using a Simon two-stage design, with the trial proceeding to stage II if ≥ 30% pts in stage I had PFS3. Pre-specified analysis for EGFR, HER2, ErbB3, and ErbB4 was conducted using targeted next-generation sequencing (Life Technologies) and CN analysis (Taqman) of available archival tumor tissue. Results: The initial enrollment goal of 23 ptswas met: 18 M/5 F, median age 67 (36-82), ECOG 0 in 26%/1 in 74%, Hb < 10 g/dl in 17%, liver metastases in 30%, median time from prior chemotherapy = 3.6 mo. No unexpected toxicities were observed; 2 pts required dose-reduction (grade 3 fatigue, grade 3 rash). 5/23 pts (21.7%) had PFS3 (1 partial response (PR), 4 stable disease). Notably, 5/7 pts (71.4%) with ErbB molecular alterations achieved PFS3 (PFS = 10.3, 7.0, 6.9, 4.6 (ongoing) and 3.9 (ongoing) mo respectively) while 0/16 without alterations reached PFS3 (p < 0.001, Fisher’s exact). The 2 pts with alterations (both HER2 amplified) who did not reach PFS3 had liver metastases. All 3 pts with ErbB3 somatic mutations were responders. One pt with both HER2 amplification and R103G ErbB3 mutation never progressed on therapy, but discontinued after 10.3 mo due to depressed left ventricular ejection fraction. Average time to progression/discontinuation was 4.9 mo in pts with molecular alterations vs 1.7 mo for pts without alterations (p = 0.03). Conclusions: Afatinib demonstrates significant activity in platinum-refractory UC pts with HER2 and/or ErbB3 alterations. The potential contribution of ErbB3 to afatinib sensitivity is novel. A follow-on phase II study of afatinib in marker-selected refractory UC pts is underway. Clinical trial information: NCT02122172.
