758 Background: Re-introduction of oxaliplatin (L-OHP) for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) refractory to standard chemotherapy regimens including L-OHP, irinotecan (CPT-11), and fluorouracil was thought to be effective approach. We performed a single arm, open-label phase II study (UMIN ID: 000004884), and the reported results of interim analysis were promising. Methods: Patients with prior chemotherapy including L-OHP and CPT-11 achieved tumor response or stable disease during prior L-OHP based therapy, and 6 months or over from confirmed progression disease during previous L-OHP based therapy was eligible for this study. Patients received FOLFOX regimens every two weeks. Primary endpoint was disease control rate (DCR) after 12 weeks of treatment start. Tumor response was evaluated by RECIST v1.1, and DCR was defined as complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease. This trial followed a Simon’s two-stage minimax design. Assuming the expected and threshold DCR after 12 weeks of treatment start would be 40% and 20%, 33 patients (18 in Step I and 15 in Step II) were required with a one sided α-level of 5% and a power of 80%. Results: Between February 2011 and August 2013, 33 patients were enrolled in this study. Characteristics of patients were as follows (n=33): median age of 62 years (35-77); male/female: 19/14; ECOG PS0: 84.8%; and colon/rectum: 14/19. All patients received mFOLFOX6 regimen. The DCR after 12 weeks of treatment start was 39.4% (95% CI: 21.8-57.0%), and the primary endpoint was met. The response Rate (CR or PR) was 6.1%. The median number of courses of chemotherapy was five, and the median total dose of L-OHP was 366.9 mg/m2. The median progression free survival was 98 days and the median overall survival was 300 days. The incidence of allergic reaction was 24.4% and peripheral neuropathy was 90.9%, graded as mild to moderate events. There were no other severe adverse events and treatment related deaths. Conclusions: Reintroduction of L-OHP was effective and could be a new salvage option for patients with mCRC refractory to previous L-OHP based therapy. Clinical trial information: 000004884.

Study Characteristics

580 Background: Re-introduction of oxaliplatin for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer refractory to standard chemotherapy regimens including oxaliplatin, irinotecan and fluorouracil (5-FU) was thought to be effective approach, but has not been prospectively explored. Thus, we performed a single arm, open-label phase II study (UMIN ID: 000004884). Methods: Patients with prior chemotherapy including oxaliplatin and irinotecan, achieved tumor response or stable disease during prior oxaliplatin-based therapy, and six months or over from confirmed progression disease during previous oxaliplatin-based therapy were eligible for this study. Patients received FOLFOX regimens every two weeks. Primary endpoint was disease control rate (DCR) after 12 weeks of treatment. Tumor response was evaluated by RECIST v1.1, and DCR was defined as complete response, partial response or stable disease. This trial followed a Simon’s two-stage minimax design. Interim analysis of efficacy was planned after 12 weeks of treatment in 18 patients (Step I). If disease control were confirmed in more than five patients, 15 patients would be newly enrolled in Step II. Results: Between 01-2011 and 07-2012, 18 patients were enrolled in Step I of this study. Characteristics of patients were as follows (N=18): median age, 61 yrs (range 35-75 yrs); male/female, 11/7; ECOG PS0, 94.4%; and colon/rectum, 8/10. All patients were assigned to receive mFOLFOX6 regimen. Disease control was observed in seven patients. There was no benefit in nine patients. Two patients refused to continue treatment and one patient gave up treatment due to oxaliplatin related allergic reaction. According to the interim analysis, DCR after 12 weeks of treatment was 38.9%. There were no severe adverse events and treatment related deaths. Conclusions: In interim analysis, initial efficacy of reintroduction of oxaliplatin after 12 weeks of FOLFOX regimen was confirmed. Step II part of this study is currently ongoing. Clinical trial information: UMIN000004884.

TPS4146 Background: NENs include a heterogeneous group of tumors with different behavior. Despite immunomodulators such as interferon are approved for the management of grade 1-2 NENs, the low mutation tumor load and PD-1/PDL-1 expression have limited the development of immune check-point inhibitors in this setting. The rational for immunotherapy in high grade NENs is stronger compared with low grade NENs based on the results observed in small cell lung cancer. However, the combination of an antiPDL-1 and antiCTLA-4 could increase the probability of success regardless of tumor growth rate, mutational tumor load or PDL-1 expression in low grade NENs. Methods: This prospective, multi-center, open label, phase II study (EudraCT:2016-002858-20) will evaluate the efficacy and safety of durvalumab plus tremelimumab in 126 pts within four different cohorts, including well-moderately differentiated lung NENs (Cohort 1), grade 1-2 gastrointestinal NENs (Cohort 2), grade 1-2 pancreatic NENs (Cohort 3) and grade 3 GEP NENs (Cohort 4). To optimize the efficacy of immunotherapy in low grade NENs, pts included in the trial must have progressed to all standard approved therapy in each setting, including somatostatin analogues, targeted agents and chemotherapy for lung and GEP grade 1-2 NENs up to 4 prior lines. For pts included in cohort 4, progression to standard platinum-based chemotherapy is mandatory. All pts will receive durvalumab 1500 mg every 28 days for 12 months, and tremelimumab 75 mg Q4W up to 4 doses/cycles. Retreatment is allowed after disease progression in the follow-up period. The primary endpoint of the study for cohorts 1-3 is disease control rate at 9 months including the percentage of pts achieving complete response, partial response, or stable disease according to RECIST v1.1; Median overall survival will be the primary endpoint for cohort 4. Primary endpoints will be assessed by investigators and confirmed by central radiological review. Secondary endpoints include median progression-free survival, safety and tolerability and a wide panel of biomarkers in blood samples and tumor tissue. Clinical trial information: 2016-002858-20.

598 Background: The previous phase II study of the oral S-1 plus oral Leucovorin (LV) (2 weeks’ treatment regimen followed by a 2 week rest period) for patients (pts) with untreated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) have shown to be effective, but the grade 3 toxicities (diarrhea, stomatitis, and anorexia) were observed with relatively high frequency. In this phase II study, we tried to improve the administration schedule of S-1 plus LV regimens for well-tolerated toxicities and evaluated the efficacy. Methods: Pts were eligible as follows: histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma, age≥20, ECOG PS 0-1, no prior chemotherapy, at least one measurable lesion by RECIST ver1.0 criteria, adequate organ function, and written informed consent. S-1 (40-60 mg bid) and LV (25 mg bid) were orally administered for 1 week, followed by an 1 week rest period. Treatment was repeated until the onset of disease progression or unacceptable adverse events occurred. The primary endpoint was the response rate (RR), and the secondary endpoints were efficacy and safety. Results: From October 2008 to June 2009, 73 pts were enrolled in Japan and China. Of the eligible 71 pts, median age was 60 (range 27-84), Male/Female was 38/33, PS:0/1 was 39/32, and Japan/China was 32/39. RR as primary endpoint was 53.5% (95% CI, 41.3-65.5), and Disease Control Rate was 83.1%. With a median follow-up period of 26.4 months, the median Progression Free Survival was 6.5 months. Median Overall Survival was 24.3 months with the survival rate of 77.5 % at 1 year and 53.2 % at 2 years. The incidences of grade 3 adverse drug reactions were diarrhea 8.3 %, stomatitis 8.3%, anorexia 2.8%, neutropenia 9.7%, and there was no treatment-related death. Conclusions: The newly improved 1 week S-1 plus LV treatment regimen showed good efficacy and better tolerability than the 2 weeks’ treatment regimen. This therapy showed promising activity in pts with untreated mCRC without the concurrent use of irinotecan, oxaliplatin, or molecular-targeted drugs.

6023 Background: We present results of an open label phase II study of the mTOR inhibitor Everolimus in patients (pts) with RAIR TC. Methods: Pts with metastatic, incurable RAIR TC who had shown radiographic progression within 6 months prior to enrollment received Everolimus 10mg orally once daily. Responses were monitored by CT's every two months. The primary endpoint was progression free survival. Sequential biopsies were obtained in selected pts. Results: Enrollment to the differentiated TC (DTC) cohort finished in Jan 2013 and included 33 pts, among them 11 with Hurthle cell TC. Exploratory cohorts enrolled 10 pts with medullary [MTC] and 5 with anaplastic [ATC] with 2 added openings remaining for ATC. For the DTC cohort, median time on study to date is 10 months (mo) (<1-23+). 31 pts are evaluable at this time. PFS in the DTC cohort by Kaplan-Meier (K-M) analysis is 16.0 mo (95%CI 10-NR). Currently, disease stability for 6 and 12 mo or more was achieved in 18 and 10/31 pts, respectively, 11 pts remain on study. Median OS was not reached but 1 year survival by K-M analysis was 76%. One pt achieved a PR. 3 pts with DTC underwent sequential biopsies which revealed activation of autophagy while markers for apoptosis were not detected. Among 10 MTC pts, one achieved a PR and 9 pts had stable disease for 6 mo or more (6-33+). Among 5 ATC pts, 3 progressed, one has ongoing disease stability for 5 mo. One patient achieved a complete response that lasted for 18 mo and whole exome sequencing revealed somatic loss of function mutation affecting the Tuberous Sclerosis 2 (TSC2) protein, a negative regulator of mTOR activity [TSC2 (Q1178*) and FLCN (R17fs)]. Most common treatment-related adverse events were as anticipated and included fatigue, stomatitis and infections. Grade (gr) 3 events included infection 5, weight loss 3, leukopenia 3, thrombocytopenia 3, fatigue 3, hypophosphatemia 2, stomatitis 2, pneumonitis 1 and thrombosis 1pts. One pt had gr 4 hypercholesterinemia and one pt had gr 4 leukopenia. Conclusions: Everolimus has significant anti-tumor activity in pts with advanced TC. Activation of autophagy could account for high rate of disease stability. Sequencing may identify mechanistic basis and predictive markers for treatment response.

Purpose: To evaluate the antitumor activity, safety, immune response, and replication of CI-1042 (ONYX-015), an E1B 55-kd gene-deleted replication-selective adenovirus, administered intravenously to patients with metastatic colorectal cancer Patients and Methods: Eighteen patients with metastatic colorectal cancer for whom prior chemotherapy failed were enrolled onto an open-label, multicenter, phase II study. CI-1042 was administered intravenously at a dose of 2 × 1012 viral particles every 2 weeks. Patients were evaluated for tumor response and toxicity; in addition, blood samples were taken for adenovirus DNA and neutralizing antibody analysis. Results: Common toxicities included flu-like symptoms, nausea, and emesis. All 18 patients eventually were removed from study because of progressive disease. Seven patients were assessed as having stable disease after 2 months of treatment, whereas two patients were considered to have stable disease after 4 months. Detectable circulating CI-1042 DNA was identified in 36% of patients 72 hours after last infusion, which is suggestive of ongoing viral replication. Conclusion: In this phase II study, intravenous CI-1042 was administered safely to patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Toxicity was manageable, consisting primarily of flu-like symptoms. Stable disease was experienced by seven patients for 11 to 18 weeks.

3558 Background: Anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) antibodies alone or in combination with irinotecan (Iri) can be considered standard third-line therapy for KRAS wild-type (wKRAS) unresectable colorectal cancer (UNCRC). However, some UNCRC patients (pts) cannot tolerate Iri-containing therapy. S-1, an oral fluorouracil (FU) derivative, enhances the anti-tumor effect by inhibiting dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase activity and reducing digestive toxicity. Combination therapy with cetuximab (C-mab) may restore 5-FU resistance in 5-FU–resistant CCs. Therefore, we examined the efficacy of S-1+C-mab therapy in wKRAS UNCRC pts, who had previously received Iri, oxaliplatin (OX), and FUs. Methods: The study design was multicenter, single-arm, open-label phase II study. The major inclusion criteria were written informed consent; histologically proven CRC and clinically proven UNCRC; presence of measurable lesions; previous therapy with Iri, OX, and 5-FU; documented progressive disease after 5-FU–based chemotherapy; wKRAS tumors; age ≥ 20 years; performance status (PS) 0–1; and adequate organ function. The treatment protocol was as follows: weekly durable intravenous (DIV) C-mab administration at 400 mg/m2 (day 1) and 250 mg/m2/week (except day 1) and oral administration of 80 mg/m2/day S-1 on days 1–28 of each 42-day cycle. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). A sample size of 39 was planned for a threshold PFS of 3.5 months and expected value of 6.0 months, with one-sided alpha of 0.05 and beta of approximately 0.2. Results: One patient was ineligible; 38 pts (PS 0/1, 32/6; 1/2/>3 prior chemotherapy regimens, 4/23/11) were enrolled from 10/2009 to 12/2010. The median PFS (central review) was 5.5 months (90% CI: 4.4 – 5.7); median overall survival (OS), 13.1 months; and the best ORR, 36.8%. The most common grade 3–4 adverse events were neutrophils, hypokalemia, rash, and dry skin. Conclusions: This study showed that S-1+C-mab may be a promising and well-tolerated treatment choice of wKRAS UNCRC, who had previously heavily treated by Iri, OX and FUs.

109 Background: gpNMB is an internalizable transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in melanoma and multiple other tumor types. The ADC GV (CDX-011) delivers the potent cytotoxin MMAE to gpNMB+ cells. GV has shown promising activity in advanced melanoma and breast cancer. Methods: This Phase II study (CDX011-05) assessed the efficacy and safety of GV monotherapy (1.9 mg/kg q3w) for patients (pts) with advanced melanoma progressive after ≤1 chemotherapy, ≥1 checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) and if BRAFV600mutated, ≥1 BRAF/MEK inhibitor. Central IHC determined gpNMB expression in archival and/or pre-treatment tumor. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) (RECIST 1.1) with ≥6 responders out of 52 evaluable pts as threshold for antitumor activity. Additional endpoints: progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DOR), safety, PK/PD and correlation of tumor gpNMB expression with efficacy. Results: 62 pts enrolled (all evaluable) had median age of 67 years; 55% male; 21% BRAFV600mutated; 63% with ≥3 lines prior therapy; 100% had prior CPI; 100% Stage IV; 89% M1c. One confirmed complete response (CR) and 6 confirmed partial responses (PR, including 1 unconfirmed CR) were seen (confirmed ORR = 11%, p = 0.035 comparing to reference ORR 5%); 33 pts had stable disease including 3 unconfirmed PR. Median DOR = 6.0 (range: 4.1, 14+) months (mos), median PFS = 4.3 mos and median OS = 9.8 mos; 26 pts continue to be followed for survival. All pts with available tissue (60/60) had gpNMB+ tumors; 47/60 had 100% gpNMB+ epithelial cells; no clear correlation with outcome was seen in this population with consistent high expression. Toxicities included alopecia, neuropathy, rash, fatigue and neutropenia. Treatment-related rash in cycle 1 was associated with improved ORR (rash = 22%; no rash = 7%), PFS (p = 0.007) and OS (p = 0.035). Conclusions: GV has promising activity (primary endpoint of ORR was met) with a manageable safety profile in heavily pre-treated melanoma pts. Additional cohorts evaluating GV with either varlilumab, an activating anti-CD27 monoclonal antibody, or PD-1 inhibitors are open to accrual to provide further insights into the synergy of ADC and immunotherapy. Clinical trial information: NCT02302339.

11561 Background: Angiosarcoma has a particularly poor prognosis with 5-year overall survival rates of approximately 30-40%. Treatment of locally advanced and metastatic angiosarcoma is inadequate. Data strongly suggest concurrent, potent inhibition of VEGFR and Tie2 represents an attractive therapeutic strategy in angiosarcoma. Regorafenib displays potent VEGFR and Tie2 receptor inhibition and also possesses activity against additional potential targets in angiosarcoma including PDGFRs, RAF, KIT and FGFR, amongst others. Methods: A multicenter phase II study of regorafenib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic angiosarcoma was conducted through the Midwest Sarcoma Trials Partnership. Adequate performance status, organ function, measurable disease (RECIST 1.1) and 1-4 prior therapies were required. Regorafenib 160 mg PO daily was given in 28-day cycles (21 days on, 7 days off) until disease progression (PD) or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), assessed at 16 weeks. Secondary endpoints include overall response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), OS, and safety and tolerability. A Simon 2-stage design was used. Results: After final enrollment of the second stage, a total of 31 pts were enrolled at 6 sites, 23 are evaluable for response. Median age was 65 (range 30-91); 50% were female, 67.7% had metastatic disease. PFS at 4 months is 52.2% with a median PFS and OS of 3.55 and 11.4 months. 1 confirmed CR and 2 PR, 12 SD and 8 PD were observed. ORR and CBR are 14.29 and 65.2%, respectively. No uncommon grade 3-4 adverse events were observed. 6 pts were non-evaluable due to refusal of further therapy and 2 patients progressed prior to first evaluation. Conclusions: Regorafenib was well tolerated in this study of pretreated patients with angiosarcomas and met its primary endpoint with a median PFS > 45% at 4 months. Treatment was feasible and did not reveal any previously unreported toxicities. Efficacy outcomes were complicated by early withdrawals of patients. RECIST responses were encouraging and regorafenib has a clinically meaningful 4-month PFS. Clinical trial information: NCT02048722 .

707 Background: VEGF promotes tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Z blocks the activity of VEGF-A/-B, and placental growth factor and was shown in the VELOUR phase III study (NCT00561470) outside of Japan to significantly improve overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall response rate (ORR) in mCRC pts as a second-line treatment given with FOLFIRI. Goals of the current open-label, multicenter phase II study were to assess the efficacy and safety of Z + FOLFIRI in a post-oxaliplatin setting in mCRC pts in Japan. Methods: Pts received Z (4 mg/kg) + FOLFIRI (400 mg/m2 bolus 5-fluorouracil [FU]; 2400 mg/m2 continuous infusion 5-FU; 200 mg/m2 levofolinate; 180 mg/m2 irinotecan) every 2 weeks until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or study withdrawal. Primary endpoint: ORR (required 60 pts in order to obtain a 95% CI width of 16–20%, assuming an ORR of 10–20%). Secondary endpoints: PFS, OS, and safety. Tumors were assessed by independent reviewers every 6 ± 1 weeks until progression. Results: Study enrolled 62 pts; 50 pts (83.3%) had received prior bevacizumab. Of 60 pts evaluable for response, 5 had a partial response and none had a complete response, resulting in an ORR of 8.3% (95% CI: 1.3–15.3%). The median PFS was 5.42 months (95% CI: 4.140–6.702), and the median OS was 15.59 months (range 11.20–19.81). Forty-one pts (66.1%) died due to progression; none died due to study treatment. Pts underwent a median of 8 treatment cycles (range 1–31) lasting a median of 21.8 weeks (range 2–73). The median relative dose intensity was 0.99 (range 0.2–1.0) for Z, 0.87 (range 0.4–1.0) for irinotecan, and 0.96 (range 0.7–1.0) for 5-FU. All pts had ≥1 treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE; see table). Conclusions: The ORR was 8.3% (95% CI: 1.3–15.3%), and the median OS was 15.59 months. The safety profile was consistent with that reported previously. Registered as NCT01882868. Clinical trial information: NCT01882868. [Table: see text]

11049 Background: Tumors express IDO1, an intracellular enzyme involved in the degradation of tryptophan to kynurenine, in order to evade immunosurveillance. Epacadostat inhibits IDO1 and shifts the tumor microenvironment from an immunosuppressive state to an immune-stimulated state. Pembrolizumab previously demonstrated activity in select sarcoma subtypes. We performed an open-label, single-center, phase II study of epacadostat and pembrolizumab in patients with advanced sarcoma. Methods: Patients received the recommended phase II dose of oral epacadostat (100mg) twice per day and intravenous pembrolizumab (200mg/dose) every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was best objective response rate (ORR) (complete response and partial response [PR]) at 24 weeks by RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints included adverse events (AEs), ORR by irRECIST, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Correlative studies performed on pre/on-treatment biopsy specimens included PD-L1, IDO1, and kynurenine expression and characterization of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes by IHC, whole exome and RNA sequencing. Results: Twenty-nine patients were enrolled [median age 53 years (range, 24-78), 57% male, ECOG PS 0 83%]. Histological subtypes included leiomyosarcoma (17%), UPS (17%), myxofibrosarcoma (7%), liposarcoma (10.5%), EHE (10.5%), angiosarcoma (3%), “other” sarcoma subtype (35%). Patients were refractory to 0 (21%), 1 (38%), 2 (24%) and ≥ 3 (17%) prior lines of therapy. The most common ( > 20% of pts) grade (G)1 or 2 treatment related AEs (TRAEs) observed included fatigue (31%), rash (31%) and ALT elevation (24%). G3 TRAEs included AST elevation (10%), ALT elevation, anemia, hypophosphatemia and increased lipase each occurred in 3% of pts. Three patients discontinued therapy due to G3 immune mediated hepatitis. Among the 29 evaluable patients 1 (3%) confirmed PR (leiomyosarcoma), 13 stable diseases (45%) and 15 progressions (52%) were observed by RECIST 1.1. The median PFS was 8.0 weeks (two-sided 95% CI: 6.9 ~ 26.7) and the PFS rate at 24 weeks was 27.9% (two-sided 95% CI: 15.0% ~ 52.2%). The median OS was not estimable (two-sided 95% CI: 40.9 weeks ~ NE). The OS at 24 weeks was 85.2% (95% CI: 72.8%, 99.7%). Conclusions: Epacadostat in combination with pembrolizumab was generally well tolerated. Limited anti-tumor activity was observed among advanced sarcoma patients. Correlative analyses including determination of adequacy of IDO1 inhibition will be reported. Clinical trial information: NCT03414229.
