331 Background: mGEP-NETs are rare and heterogeneous tumors. Limited data has been published on real world clinical management of these tumors. This study was conducted to understand the treatment patterns and clinical outcomes of patients with mGEP-NETs treated in the community oncology setting. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using US Oncology’s (USON) iKnowMed electronic health record (EHR) database with supplemental chart review. The first diagnostic record of mGEP-NET in the EHR system was defined as the date of diagnosis of mGEP-NET. Inclusion criteria: ≥ 18 years of age at diagnosis; diagnosis of mGEP-NET between 1/1/2008 to 12/31/2012. Patients in clinical trials or with poorly differentiated tumors were excluded. Results: 229 patients were included with a median age of 64.0 years. Primary tumor site included small bowel (47.6%), pancreas (31.4%), and other (21.0%). Tumor grade was available for 134/229 (58.5%) patients, and the majority was reported as well-differentiated (52.8%). Chromogranin A (CgA) and urinary 5-HIAA were reported for 34.9%, and 32.8% of patients respectively. 37 (16.2%) of patients were under observation only. For those receiving systemic treatment, median time to first systemic treatment after diagnosis was 2.7 weeks, with 75% of patients starting therapy by 9.4 weeks. 120 (52.4%) patients received only somatostatin analogs (SSAs) during the study period, and 72 (31.4%) patients received chemotherapy, and/or targeted therapy. In the 1st line setting (n = 192), 148 (77%) patients received SSAs, 23 (12%) chemotherapy, and 21 (10.9%) targeted therapy. The most common AEs for SSAs were diarrhea (18.2%), abdominal pain (16.9%), and fatigue (13.5%). The median OS from diagnosis was 84.2 months [95%CI 70.9, 108.0 months] for the overall cohort. OS was longer in small bowel NETs than in pancreatic or other NETs (median OS 108.0 vs 69.9 vs 84.2 months, p = 0.017). Conclusions: Most of the patients with mGEP-NETs received systemic treatment soon after diagnosis and referral to USON. The OS and AEs were consistent with other studies. Low reporting of CgA, 5-HIAA, and tumor grade reflected variability of clinical practice in the community setting.

424 Background: Limited data are available to document recent treatment paradigms that span NET disease course. This study aims to report long-term, real-world treatment patterns of advanced GI NET patients (pts) based on data from four tertiary cancer centers (Dana-Farber, MD Anderson, UCSF and Northwestern). Methods: Retrospective chart review was conducted in pts diagnosed with advanced, well differentiated GI NET at age ≥18 years and treated with somatostatin analogs (SSAs), targeted therapy (TT), cytotoxic chemotherapy (CC), peptide receptor radiotherapy, liver-directed therapy (LDT) or interferon from 7/2011-12/2014. Eligible pts were followed from advanced NET diagnosis date (earliest recorded diagnosis: 3/1987) to end of follow-up/death (latest recorded date: 5/2017). Analyses of treatment and dosing patterns were performed and persistence of therapy was estimated using Kaplan-Meir analysis. Results: 273 pts were included with mean age of 59 years at advanced NET diagnosis; 64% had functional NET; 57% had ileum as primary tumor site; and 63% had carcinoid syndrome (CS). Most common CS symptoms were diarrhea (87%) and flushing (73%). Majority of pts received octreotide alone (88%) or in combination (2%) with LDT, TT or CC as first-line. Of the 161 pts on second-line, 88% received octreotide alone or in combination; 5 pts (3%) received lanreotide. Most common dose at initiation for octreotide was 30mg/4 weeks (51%) and 20mg/4 weeks (32%); 68% of pts never received > 30mg/4 weeks over the entire treatment course. Median time to treatment discontinuation was 145 months (mos) for octreotide (functional NET: 145; non-functional NET: 117), 13 mos for TT and 6 mos for CC. Conclusions: This study showed that octreotide is the mainstay of treatment for advanced GI NET, as 90% of pts received octreotide alone or in combination with other treatment modalities agents as first-line therapy. 74% continued octreotide alone or in combination with other treatment modalities in the second-line. Most commonly prescribed dose was 30 mg/4 weeks. Pts remained on octreotide long term, with median treatment duration of 12 years.

BackgroundTreatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has dramatically advanced in the past 5 years with the advent of immunotherapy (IO). This study sought to describe treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in a representative sample of NSCLC patients.MethodsPatients were identified by physicians from a voluntary sample of community practices across the US. Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC patients with EGFR/ALK wild-type initiating any first-line (1L) systemic therapy between 01/01/2016 and 12/31/2019 with at least 2 months of follow-up (unless deceased) were included, and were followed until November 2020. Sampling quotas included 250 patients who initiated 1L in 2016/2017 and 250 patients who did so in 2018/2019. Best tumor response was collected from patient charts during each line of therapy (LOT). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated from initiation of 1L by Kaplan-Meier method. Baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes are described and presented by treatment regimen received.ResultsOf 500 submitted patients, 497 were included post QA/QC. Across all patients, mean age at 1L initiation was 65 years, 57.3% were male, 92.9% had stage IV disease, and 68.6% were ECOG-OS 0/1 (Table 1). Overall, 60.2% (n=299), 33.2% (n=165), and 6.6% (n=33) received 1, 2, or =3 LOTs during the study period. Most common 1L regimens (%) were platinum-doublet chemotherapy plus IO (PDC+IO) (40.6%), PDC (29.4%), IO monotherapy (20.7%), PDC+bevacizumab (6.2%); while most common 2L regimens were IO monotherapy (42.4%), single-agent chemotherapy (SAC) (18.2%), SAC+VEGF inhibitor (15.7%), PDC (8.1%), and PDC+bevacizumab (5.6%). Over 90% of pts who received IO monotherapy had PD-L1 >50%. Moving from 2016/2017 to 2018/2019, utilization of 1L PDC declined from 45.0% to 13.7% while utilization of 1L PDC+IO increased from 27.3% to 54.0%. Among those who received only one LOT (n=299), 44.5% were still on 1L, 14.0% stopped receiving 1L, and 41.5% were deceased. Overall response rates were 67.3%, 35.6%, 60.2%, and 61.3% for 1L PDC+IO, PDC, IO monotherapy, and PDC+bevacizumab, respectively (Table 1). First-line median PFS/OS (months) was 15.6/26.5, 5.3/13.7, 17.8/NR, and 10.8/18.6, respectively for PDC+IO, PDC, IO monotherapy, and PDC+bevacizumab (table 1).Abstract 562 Table 1ConclusionsData from 2016 to 2020 was used provide a contemporary assessment of treatment patterns among EGFR/ALK wild-type NSCLC patients. Although 1L treatment utilization shifted to IO-based regimens in recent years, 41.5% of patients did not survive to receive second-line therapy, 1L PFS did not exceed 1.5 years, and median OS remained limited across all 1L treatment groups.Ethics ApprovalOn August 20, 2020, Western Institutional Review Board (WIRB) approved a request for a waiver of authorization for use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI) for this research. The study is exempt under 45 CFR § 46.104(d)(4).
