136 Background: In February 2002, imatinib was approved by US FDA for treatment of patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). This study was performed to evaluate survival trends in patients with advanced GIST in pre- (1992-2001) and post- (2002-2008) imatinib era in the United States. Methods: We selected adult patients (≥18 years) with advanced GIST (regional and distant metastasis based on SEER’s LRD staging) from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results 18 database diagnosed during 1992-2008. We excluded patients diagnosed at autopsy or from death certificate only, or those without survival date. We analyzed 1- and 3- year relative survival (RS) rates of the patients by age (all ages,18-64yrs,64+yrs), race [White, Black and Others (American Indian/AK Native, Asian/Pacific Islander)], and gender in pre-imatinib (1992-2001) and post-imatinib (2002-2008) eras. We used Z-test in SEER*Stat to compare RS rates. Results: There were total of 1,734 cases of advanced GIST (regional and distant metastasis) during the study duration. Of the total population, 744 were females and 990 were males. The 1- and 3- year RS rates were significantly higher for patients diagnosed in post-imatinib era compared to those in pre-imatinib era (83.8±1.1% vs 72.5±2.3%; Z 4.47 at one year and 68.8±1.4% vs 51.0± 2.6%; Z 6.25). The survival rates in younger patients (18-64 years) improved significantly in post-imatinib era compared to pre-imatinib era (88.60±1.2% vs 74.20±2.9%; Z 5.19 at 1 year and 75±1.6% vs 56.1±3.4%; Z 5.81 at 3 years). Among older patients, there was improvement in 3- year survival rate (76.90±2% vs 70.40±3.5%; Z 1.22 at 1 year and 59.80±2.5% vs 44.9±4%; Z 2.82 at 3 years). Survival rates improved for both sexes and for Whites and Blacks (1 year RS: 83.80±1.3% vs 73.40±vs2.6%; Z 3.45 for Whites and 85±2.4% vs 68.80±6%; Z 2.53 for Blacks; 3 year RS: 68.60±1.7% vs 51.20±3.1%; Z 5.02 for Whites and 69.10±3.3% vs 42.6±6.6%; Z 3.76 for Blacks). There was no improvement in survival rates for Others. Conclusions: Overall, survival rates of advanced GIST patients have improved significantly in post-imatinib era compared to pre-imatinib era. There was no improvement in survival rates of Others.

e15643 Background: Sorafinib was approved for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma in 2007. This study was conducted to study relative survival in elderly patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma in presorafinib and sorafinib era. Methods: We selected elderly patients (age ≥ 65 years) with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (distant metastasis based on SEER’s LRD staging) from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database diagnosed during January 2000 to December 2013. We calculated one year and five year relative survival rates in pre- (2000-2006) and post- sorafinib (2008-2013) era by sex and ethnicity (Caucasians, African-Americans (AA) & Other) using SEER*Stat software. Results: There were total of 1533 patients in presorafinib era and 1694 patients in postsorafinib era. Of the total population, 71.30% were male and 28.70% female, 71% were Caucasian, 10% African-American and 19% were other race. Median age of patients was 73 years (65-99 years) and medial follow up period was 3 months (0-167 months) Survival rates improved significantly from pre- to post- sorafenib era (1 year RS: 10.60% ±0.80% vs 12.10±0.90%, p value = 0.001; 5 year RS: 1.10%±0.30% vs 1.8%±0.6%, p value = 0.001 ). The survival rate improved significantly for male (1 year RS: 11.60%±1.00% vs 12.30%±1.00%, p value = 0.006; 5 year RS: 1.00%±0.40% vs 1.3%± 0.6% , p value = 0.007) and Caucasian (1 year RS: 10.60%±1.00% vs 12.60%±1.10%, p value = 0.0008; 5 year RS: RS = 1.20%±0.40% vs 1.4%±0.7%, P value = 0.001) patients in post sorafenib era. There was no significant difference in the survival rates among any other cohorts examined.However in black (N = 153 vs 158 , RS = 6.80%±2.10% vs 7.80%±2.40% , p value = 0.77) or other races (N = 311 vs 311, RS = 12.20%±1.90% vs 12.80%±2.10%, p value = 0.30 ) , no significant improvement in survival was noted. Conclusions: Our study showed that relative survival rates of elderly patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with distant metastasis has improved in the post-sorafenib compared to pre-sorafenib era. The improvement in survival is limited to male and Caucasian patients.

Introduction: Since the approval of sorafenib in December 2005, several targeted therapeutic agents have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This study was conducted to find out whether the improvements in survival of advanced RCC patients with targeted agents have translated into a survival benefit in a population-based cohort. Methods: We analyzed the SEER 18 (Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results) registry database to calculate the relative survival rates for advanced RCC patients during 2001-2009, 2001-2005, 2006-2007 and 2008-2009. We also evaluated the survival rates by age (<65 and ≥65 years) and sex. Results: The total number of advanced RCC patients during 2001-2009, 2001-2005, 2006-2007 and 2008-2009 were 7,047, 4,059, 1,548 and 1,440, respectively. During 2001-2009, the 1- and 3-year relative survival rates were 26.7 ± 0.6 and 10.0 ± 0.4%, respectively. There was no significant difference in 1-year relative survival rates for patients diagnosed during 2006-2007 and 2008-2009 compared to those diagnosed during 2001-2005. Similarly, the 3-year survival rates for patients diagnosed during 2006-2007 were similar to those diagnosed during 2001-2005. Conclusions: This population-based study showed that there was no significant improvement in relative survival rates among advanced RCC patients in the era of targeted agents.

Results: The total number of advanced RCC patients during 2001-2009, 2001-2004, and 2006-2009 were 7,055, 3,355 and 2,985 respectively. During 2001-2009, the 1- and 3-year relative survival rates were 26.7± 0.6% and 10.0±0.4% respectively. The 1-year relative survival rates during 2001-2004 and 2006-2009 were 27.0±0.8% and 27.1±0.9%, (p value=1.3) respectively. Similarly, the 3-year survival rates during 2001-2004 and 2006-2009 were 10.1±0.6% and 9.6±0.8%, (p value=1.42), respectively. There was no significant difference in survival rates during 2001-2004 and 2006-2009 periods by age and sex. Conclusions: This population based study showed that there was no significant improvement in relative survival rates among advanced RCC patients in the era of targeted agents. As with other database analyses, limitations of this large study may be incomplete reporting practices and lack of data on treatment.

9555 Background: Ipilimumab was approved by FDA in March 2011 for the treatment of Metastatic Melanoma. We conducted this study to compare survival outcome in patients with Metastatic Melanoma in pre- (1973-2010) and post- (2011-2013) ipilimumab era in the United States using U.S. Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) registry database. Methods: We selected patients with metastatic melanoma age ≥ 20 years from the SEER database. We used SEER 18 registry database to evaluate relative survival (RS) rate during 1973-2010 and 2011-2013. The RS rate at 1year and 2 year were analyzed for cohorts by age (20-49 years, 50-74 and ≥75 years), race [White, African American (AA), and others] and gender. The RS rates (%) accompany standard error (SE). We used SEER Stat software for statistical analysis. Results: There were a total of 129,362 (106,516 and 22,846 in pre and post ipilimumab era) metastatic melanoma patients, male (n = 71,220), female (n = 58,142), white (n = 121,843), AA (n = 854) other (n = 1,315) reported in the registry. RS in pre vs post-ipilimumab era for age group 20-49 was: 96.50 ± 0.1% vs 97.20 ±0.3%, P = 0.013; and 94.10 ± 0.1% to 95.60 ±0.40, P = 0.0009; for age group 50-74 was: 94.10 ± 0.1% vs 95.30 ± 0.2%, P = 0.0001; and 90.70 ± 0.1%vs 92.90 ± 0.3%, P = 0.0001; and for age group ≥75 was 90.80 ± 0.3% vs 91.40 ± 0.7%, P = 0.23; and 85.0 ± 0.4% vs 88.10 ± 1.0%, P = 0.011 at 1 and 2 years respectively. Overall RS in pre and post ipilimumab era for white population was: 93.83 ± 0.16% vs 94.567 ± 0.4%, P = 0.017; and 90.0 ± 0.2% vs 92.033 ± 0.6%, P = 0.0008 at 1 and 2 years respectively. Similarly RS for AA was: 78.07 ± 2.93% vs 73.33 ± 8.23%, P = 0.37; and 65.87 ± 3.47% vs 65.33 ± 9.73%, P = 0.94; and for other race was: 85.2 ± 2.13% vs 77.97 ± 5.6%, P = 0.04; and 74.43 ± 5.2% vs 69.67 ± 6.7%, P = 0.1 at 1 year and 2 years. Conclusions: Our study showed that younger (20-74 years) patients with metastatic melanoma have improvement in 1 and 2-year RS rates in post ipilimumab era. Subgroup analysis by race showed no improvement in RS in AA and other races patients during this period. There was also no significant survival benefit seen in older (≥ 75 years) patients of all races and gender in post ipilimumab era.

Abstract Abstract 4237 Background: Median age at diagnosis for CML is 64 years of age. CML survival in elderly population is not well studied. This study was conducted to evaluate the relative survival rates among CML patients older than 50 years in pre- (1991–2000) and post- (2001– 2009) imatinib era. Methods: We analyzed the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER*Stat) 18 registry database to compare 3-year and 5-year relative survival rates among CML patients by gender and age groups (50–69, ≥70) from the pre- (1991–2000) to post- imatinib eras (2001–2009). We used Z-test in the SEER*Stat program to calculate the differences in relative survival rates among different cohorts. Results: The 3-year and 5-year relative survival rates for CML patients age ≥50 years in pre- (n=3,848) vs post- (n=6,501) imatinib era were: 44.1±0.9% vs 55.9±0.8%, p=<0.0001, Z-value=10.179 at 3-years and 31.4±0.9% vs 46.9±0.9%, p=<0.0001, Z-value=12.361 at 5-years. The 3-year and 5-year relative survival rates for old (50–69) patients in pre- (n=1,723) vs post- (n=3011) imatinib era were: 57.7 ± 1.2% vs 72.3 ±1.0%, p=<0.0001, Z-value=9.454 at 3 years and 44.8±1.3% vs 64.3±1.2%, P=<0.0001, Z-value= 11.365 at 5 years. The survival rates for elderly (≥70) patients in pre (n= 2,125) and post (n=3,490) imatinib era were: 32.4±1.2% and 41.3±1.1%, p=<0.0001, Z-value=5.806 at 3 years and 19.3±1.1% and 31.2±1.2%, P=<0.0001, Z-value=7.135 at 5 years respectively. Table 1 shows CML survival rates by age and sex in patients older than 50 years of age. Conclusions: This study showed significant increase in 3 year and 5 year relative survival rates in post- imatinib era among CML patients older than 50 in all cohorts examined. However, the improvement in survival rates is modest compared to published data from randomized clinical trials. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Aims To evaluate survival in prostate cancer patients in the Province of Florence where the Tuscany Cancer Registry is active. Methods The survival of 777 patients with prostate cancer diagnosed in the period 1985-87 was evaluated. The observed and relative survival rates 1, 3 and 5 years after diagnosis were computed. Also the prognostic effect of age, disease extension, tumor grade, histological verification, place of residence and year of diagnosis were evaluated using univariate and multivariate analysis. Results The observed survival was 73.4% 1 year, 42.5% 3 years and 29.2% 5 years after diagnosis. The relative survival was respectively 78.7%, 53.0% and 43.0%. Significant independent risks were evident when the disease was extended out of the prostate, for patients older than 80 years, for high grade tumors and for patients without histological verification. Conclusion The 5-year relative survival rate in the province of Florence is similar to those from other European Registries and the Latina Registry, but much lower than the one reported by the SEER program in the US. Data on histological verification percentage, availability of information on disease extension, and tumor grade are discussed as indicators of the quality of the diagnostic approach in comparison with other registries.

Abstract Gliomas are the most common primary malignant brain tumor in the United States with previous studies showing the incidence varied by age, sex, and race or ethnicity. Survival after diagnosis has also been shown to vary by these factors. Also, socioeconomic status and its association with various cancers have also been studied at length over time. PURPOSE: The purpose of our research was to quantify the differences in incidence and survival rates of gliomas in 15 years and older by income level. METHODS: This population-based study obtained incidence and survival data from the Incidence-SEER Research Database the general population. Average age incidence were generated by glioma groups and grouped by income levels. Survival rates were generated by overall glioma diagnosis grouped by observed survival at 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months and by again by income levels. The analysis included 94,207 patients with glioma diagnosed in those aged 15 years or older. RESULTS: Overall, 94, 207 patients diagnosed with glioma were analyzed. Of these, 1,089 (1.16%) fell into the &lt; $35k group, 1,684 (1.79%) in the $35k-$40k group, 3,473 (3.69%) in the $40k-$45k group, 5,647 (5.99%) in the $45k-$50k group, 7,138 (7.58%) in the $50k-$55k group, 6,468 (6.87%) in the $55k-$60k group, 15,348 (16.29%) in the $60k-$65k group, 13,216 (14.03%) in the $65k-$70k group, 9,035 (9.59%) in the $70k-$75k group, and 31,109 (33.02%) fell in &gt; $75k group. The data was also broken further down into survivability showing average survival. CONCLUSION: Incidence of glioma and 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 month survival rates after diagnosis vary significantly by income level with higher income level greater than $75,000+ having higher incidence and higher survival rates compared with lower income levels. Further research is needed to help determine risk factors and barriers to care to help reveal health disparities.

PURPOSE In advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), there is an unmet need for therapies that target both primary and secondary mutations of pathogenic KIT/PDGFRA oncoproteins. Ripretinib is a novel switch-control kinase inhibitor designed to inhibit a wide range of KIT and PDGFRA mutations. PATIENTS AND METHODS This first-in-human, to our knowledge, phase I study of ripretinib (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02571036) included a dose-escalation phase and subsequent expansion phase at the recommended phase II dose (RP2D). Eligible patients included those with advanced GIST, intolerant to or experienced progression on ≥ 1 line of systemic therapy, and other advanced malignancies. Safety, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), and preliminary antitumor activity were evaluated. RESULTS At data cutoff (August 31, 2019), 258 patients (n = 184 GIST) were enrolled, with 68 patients in the dose-escalation phase. Three DLTs were reported: grade 3 lipase increase (n = 2; 100 mg and 200 mg twice a day) and grade 4 increased creatine phosphokinase (n = 1; 150 mg once daily). MTD was not reached (maximum dose evaluated, 200 mg twice a day); 150 mg once daily was established as the RP2D. The most frequent (> 30%) treatment-emergent adverse events in patients with GIST receiving ripretinib 150 mg once daily (n = 142) were alopecia (n = 88 [62.0%]), fatigue (n = 78 [54.9%]), myalgia (n = 69 [48.6%]), nausea (n = 65 [45.8%]), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (n = 62 [43.7%]), constipation (n = 56 [39.4%]), decreased appetite (n = 48 [33.8%]), and diarrhea (n = 47 [33.1%]). Objective response rate (confirmed) of 11.3% (n = 16/142) ranging from 7.2% (n = 6/83; fourth line or greater) to 19.4% (n = 6/31; second line) and median progression-free survival ranging from 5.5 months (fourth line or greater) to 10.7 months (second line), on the basis of investigator assessment, were observed. CONCLUSION Ripretinib is a well-tolerated, novel inhibitor of KIT and PDGFRA mutant kinases with promising activity in patients with refractory advanced GIST.
