588 Background: The prespecified analysis of patients (pts) ≥65 y in the VELOUR study demonstrated a safety profile similar to that of ziv-aflibercept (Z) (known as aflibercept outside the United States) plus FOLFIRI in the overall VELOUR population. The global ASQoP/AFEQT Program comprises 2 clinical studies (ASQoP [NCT01571284]; AFEQT [NCT01670721]) designed to capture QoL and safety data from a population similar to VELOUR but treated in a real-life setting. We report safety data from the fourth interim analysis of pts ≥65 y. Methods: ASQoP/AFEQT are single-arm, open-label trials evaluating Z in metastatic colorectal cancer pts previously treated with an oxaliplatin-containing regimen. Eligible pts received Z (4 mg/kg) q2w on day 1 of each cycle followed by FOLFIRI until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or investigator/pt decision. Initial starting doses of FOLFIRI and dose modifications are at treating physician’s discretion. The % of pts ≥65 y with grade (G) 3 or 4 AEs in the combined safety population of ASQoP/AFEQT are compared with the prespecified analysis in pts ≥65 y from the Z + FOLFIRI arm of VELOUR. Results: At data cutoff, the overall safety population comprised 688 pts with ≥1 completed treatment cycle; 303 (44.1%) were ≥65 y. In the overall safety population ≥1 G3/4 AE was reported in 72.2% of pts vs. 83.5% in overall VELOUR. Most G3/4 AEs were G3. There were no reports of G4 hypertension, diarrhea, or fatigue. Median number of cycles was 6 in ASQoP/AFEQT and 9 in the Z + FOLFIRI arm of VELOUR. Table shows summary of AEs in pts ≥65 y. Conclusions: This interim analysis from ASQoP/AFEQT in pts ≥65 y has identified no new safety signals and provides additional safety data suggesting an acceptable toxicity profile in this real-life setting. Clinical trial information: NCT01571284. [Table: see text]

528 Background: In the VELOUR study, adding ziv-aflibercept (Z) (known as aflibercept outside the United States) to FOLFIRI resulted in improved OS, PFS, and RR in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients (pts) who had received prior oxaliplatin. Prior treatment with bevacizumab (B) did not appear to impact safety profile of Z. The global ASQoP/AFEQT studies are 2 clinical studies (ASQoP [NCT01571284]; AFEQT [NCT01670721]) designed to capture QoL and safety data from a population similar to VELOUR but treated in a real-life setting. We report safety data from the 4th interim analysis in B-pretreated pts. Methods: ASQoP/AFEQT are single-arm, open-label trials of Z in mCRC pts previously treated with an oxaliplatin-containing regimen. Eligible pts receive Z (4 mg/kg) q2w on day 1 of each cycle followed by FOLFIRI until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or investigator/pt decision. Initial starting doses of FOLFIRI and subsequent modifications are at treating physician’s discretion. % of pts with grade (G) 3 or 4 AEs in the combined B-pretreated safety population of ASQoP/AFEQT is compared with B-pretreated pts in the Z + FOLFIRI arm of VELOUR. Results: At data cutoff, overall safety population comprised 688 pts with ≥1 completed treatment cycle; 343 (49.9%) were B-pretreated. Currently, median number of cycles administered to ASQoP/AFEQT pts is 6; in VELOUR, pts in Z + FOLFIRI arm had a median of 9. Table shows summary of TEAEs in B-pretreated pts. Conclusions: Thisinterim safety analysis of ASQoP/AFEQT in B-pretreated pts identified no new safety signals for Z and a trend toward decreased G3/4 events. The analysis provides additional safety data suggesting an acceptable toxicity profile in a real-life setting. Clinical trial information: NCT01571284. [Table: see text]

556 Background: In the VELOUR study, adding Z (known as aflibercept outside the United States) to FOLFIRI resulted in improved OS, PFS, and RR in mCRC pts who had received prior oxaliplatin. Prior treatment with B (~30% of the ITT population) did not appear to impact the safety profile of Z. Results from VELOUR supported initiation of the global Aflibercept Safety and Quality-of-Life (QoL) Program composed of two clinical studies (ASQoP [NCT01571284]; AFEQT [NCT01670721]) to capture QoL and safety data from a population similar to that of VELOUR in a real-life setting. We report early safety data from this interim analysis in pts pretreated with B. Methods: ASQoP and AFEQT are single-arm, open-label trials evaluating safety and QoL of Z in mCRC pts previously treated with an oxaliplatin-containing regimen. Eligible pts receive Z (4 mg/kg) q2wks on day 1 of each cycle followed by FOLFIRI until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or investigator/pt decision. Initial starting doses and subsequent modifications are at treating physicians’ discretion. The percentage of pts with grade (G) 3/4 adverse events (AEs) in the combined safety population of ASQoP and AFEQT in B-pretreated pts is compared with that of B-pretreated pts in VELOUR. Results: At data cut-off, the safety population comprised 116 pts with ≥1 completed treatment cycle; 67 (57.8%) were pretreated with B. At least 1 G3/4 AE was experienced by 49.3% of pts vs 82.5% in VELOUR. Most G3/4 AEs were G3. There were no reports of G4 hypertension or proteinuria. Conclusions: Thisinterim safety analysis from ASQoP/AFEQT in pts pretreated with B has identified no new safety signals for Z and a trend toward decreased incidence of G3/4 events. The early analysis provides additional safety data and suggests an acceptable toxicity profile in this real-life setting. Clinical trial information: NCT01571284. [Table: see text]

661 Background: In the randomized phase 3 VELOUR trial, aflibercept + FOLFIRI demonstrated a statistically significant overall survival benefit compared with FOLFIRI alone in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients (pts) previously treated with an oxaliplatin-based regimen. Evidence from the VELOUR trial supported the initiation of a French clinical trial; AFEQT [NCT01670721] to capture utility values from QoL instruments and collect safety data from a target population similar to that in VELOUR. Interim data collected by French investigators are reported. Methods: AFEQT is single-arm, open-label trial evaluating safety and health-related QoL of aflibercept in mCRC pts previously treated with an oxaliplatin-based regimen. Estimated total enrollment is 200 mCRC pts. Eligible pts received aflibercept (4 mg/kg) q2wks on day 1 of each cycle followed by FOLFIRI up to disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or investigator/patient decision, whichever occurred first. FOLFIRI starting dose and subsequent additional dose modifications were at the discretion of the treating physician. Safety assessments followed each cycle and continued until 30 days after last drug administration. The percentage of pts with grade 3/4 adverse events (G3/4 AEs) in the safety population of AFEQT was compared with that of VELOUR. Results: At data cut-off, the safety population comprised 123 pts with at least 1 completed cycle of treatment. Median age of pts was 64.6 vs. 61 years in VELOUR. At least 1 G3/4 AE was experienced by 67.5% of pts vs. 83.5% in VELOUR. Most reported G3/4 AEs were G3. There were no reports of G4 hypertension or diarrhea. Additional data will be reported during the meeting. Conclusions: In VELOUR, AEs occurred early in treatment, were often of single occurrence, generally reversible, and consistent with AEs commonly seen by oncologists. Interim safety analysis from AFEQT did not identify any new safety signal. Clinical trial information: NCT01670721. [Table: see text]

TPS787 Background: Imprime PGG (Imprime) is a novel immune modulator (complex carbohydrate biologic), which harnesses innate immune cells to enhance killing of antibody-targeted tumor cells. In a phase 2 single-arm clinical trial in mCRC, the combination of Imprime with cetuximab resulted in 24% ORR, 62% disease control rate (DCR), and median time to progression (TTP) of 12 wks (Tamayo ME, Ann Onc 2010), representing approximate 100% increases vs historical control (Cunningham, NEJM 2004). ORR was 45%, DCR, 82% and TTP, 24 wks in pts with KRAS WT tumors (post hoc analysis). Single-agent cetuximab has been shown to improve objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients (pts) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expressing, KRAS wild-type (WT) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who failed oxaliplatin- and irinotecan-based therapy or are intolerant to irinotecan. The mechanism of action of cetuximab is thought to rely on competitive blockade of endogenous ligand binding and downstream signaling, internalization and down regulation of EGFR, as well as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) (Erbitux SmPC). The current trial, sponsored by Biothera (registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01309126) is to confirm these findings in phase 3. Methods: Eligible pts will have had prior oxaliplatin- and irinotecan-based therapy or be intolerant to irinotecan, and will meet key inclusion criteria including measurable disease and ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. In a 2:1 randomization, stratified by geographic region, prior chemotherapy and site, approximately 795 pts will receive weekly open-label Imprime plus cetuximab or cetuximab alone. The primary endpoint of the study is OS and primary analysis will occur when ~709 deaths have occurred. Secondary endpoints include PFS, ORR (based on RECIST 1.1), quality of life, safety and pharmacokinetics. Exploratory endpoints include biomarker analyses. Pt screening and enrollment is underway in the United States and Europe. Clinical trial information: NCT01309126.

751 Background: In the VELOUR trial, adding Z to FOLFIRI improves OS, PFS and RR in mCRC pts progressing after oxaliplatin ±biologic agents. The ASQoP trial (NCT01571284) was designed to gather safety and QoL data from mCRC in real-life setting. We report data collected by the Spanish investigators. Methods: ASQoP is single-arm, open-label trial evaluating safety and QoL of Z in mCRC pts as 2nd line. Eligible pts received Z (4mg/kg) q2wks on day 1/cycle, followed by FOLFIRI (dosing was at physician’s discretion) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or investigator/pt decision. The EQ-5D was used for utility index (UI) measure and the EORTC QLQ-C30 as generic cancer instrument. QoL population consisted of pts completing the questionnaire at baseline and ≥1 assessment post-baseline and received ≥1 part of 1 dose of study treatment. Results: The safety population comprised 77 pts with ≥1 completed cycle of treatment. Grade (G)3/4 AEs were reported in 72.7% of pts (vs 83.5% in VELOUR), being G3 most commonly reported. There was no G4 hypertension, stomatitis, or proteinuria. G4 Diarrhea was found in 1.3% of pts. Mean baseline UI was 0.7 (95% CI, 0.63-0.78) in 51 pts, and remained relatively stable at cycles 3 (n=39) and 7 (n=24), with a mean (±SD) change from baseline of 0.03 (±0.26) and -0.06 (±0.35), respectively. Mean baseline global health status score was 63.1 (95% CI, 55.8-70.4) in 54 pts, and remained stable up to cycle 9 with a mean (±SD) change from baseline of 4.17 (±38). Conclusions: Thisanalysis has identified no new safety signals and suggests an acceptable toxicity profile with a relatively stable UI and QoL in Spanish mCRC pts in the real-life setting.
