689 Background: InVELOUR trial the addition of aflibercept to FOLFIRI regimen, demonstrated a statistically significant overall survival improvement in mCRC patients (pts) who progressed on or after a prior oxaliplatin based regimen with or without biologic agents. Our goal is to assess in the real-life setting the activity and safety profile of Afli+F in mCRC. Methods: Retrospective data collection (baseline characteristics, progression free survival [PFS], objective response rate [ORR], salvage surgeries, and safety profile) of pts who received Afli+F as a 2nd line treatment on a compassionate use program in Spain. GERCOR prognostic model has been applied to evaluate PFS. These are the final results of the analysis (Cut-off date June 2015). Results: The retrospective study population comprised 71 pts (34 hospitals); 60.6% men and 39.4% women, median age 64 years (19.7% > 70) and 98.6% had ECOG scores = 0-1. 63.4% (n = 45) had ≥ 2 metastatic sites (liver [81.7%], lung [38.0%]) and 67.7% (46/68) patients were K-RAS mutated. 60.6% (n = 43) had received prior bevacizumab (BVZ) treatment, 16.9% (n = 12) had received prior cetuximab and 5.6% (n = 4) panitumumab. Patients received a median of 6 cycles (range: 1-30) of Afli+F. Median PFS with Afli+F was 5.3 months (CI 95%: 3.7-8.6); which was not significantly modified by the presence of K-RAS mutation (HR: 1.1663; 95%CI: 0.6676-2.0373; p = 0.5867), by prior BVZ treatment (HR: 1.2424; 95%CI: 0.7238-2.1327; p = 0.4283) or by anti-EGFRs treatment (HR: 0.5681; 95%CI: 0.3117-1.0356; p = 0.0604). ORR was 19.7% (CI 95%: 11.2-30.9) and 8.5% (n = 6) of salvage surgeries. The most frequent adverse events grade ≥ 3 related with treatment were asthenia (n = 8), neutropenia (n = 7) and diarrhea (n = 6). The characteristic anti-angiogenic events were hypertension (n = 8), proteinuria (n = 1), vascular events (n = 1), and one intestinal perforation resulting in death. GERCOR prognostic model: Median PFS = 8.30 months [1.28-18.71] low risk, 5.29 [4.08-9.93] intermediate risk and 2.56 [1.94-4.57] high risk. Conclusions: In spite of the differences in sample size, in the real-life setting, Afli+F achieve a PFS comparable to VELOUR, regardless of K-RAS status or prior BVZ and anti-EGFR’s treatment, with an appropriate safety profile.

e11545 Background: NVBO has shown high activity and good safety profile when given as single agent chemotherapy (CT) for MBC. Oral CT formulations allow maintenance of quality of live and minimal interference with a normal lifestyle. Methods: Main inclusion criteria for this retrospective study were: Histologically or citologically confirmed MBC, no more than 1 prior CT line for MBC; prior (neo)adjuvant CT, hormonetherapy or radiotherapy allowed; adequate bone marrow, kidney and liver function. The study protocol was approved by an ethics committee. Data was collected from patients (p) treated between Apr/2006 and Dec/2010 with NVBO 60 mg/m2 weekly until progression or unacceptable toxicity. 70 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Patient’s characteristics were: Median age, 65 years (range 38-82); >75 years old, 20%; ECOG PS 0-1 in 91% p and PS 2 in 9%; ER+ &/or PR+, 41 p (59%); >2 metastatic sites in 61%; prior (neo)adjuvant CT in 48 p (69%); prior hormonotherapy, 44 p (63%). Measurable disease in 68 p (97%). 1 p received trastuzumab concomitantly. Results: Median number of administrations (a) 11 (range 2-36). 1st/2nd line: 41%/59%. We analyzed 923 a. Dose delayed or reduced due to hematological toxicity in 2.7% a, related non-hematological toxicity in 0.3% a. Dose was reduced in 1% a. Hematological toxicities (%a): neutropenia grade (g) 3, 0.8%; febrile neutropenia 1 p who died due to septic shock after 9 a. Non-hematological toxicities (%a): pain g 3-4, 0.5%; constipation g 3-4, 0.3%; ileus paraliticus g 3, 0.1%; infection g 3, 0.1%; nausea/vomiting g4, 0.1% . 68 p were evaluable for response. 1 CR (1.5%), 19 PR (27.9%) and 16 SD (23.5%) were reported. Objective response (OR) rate 29.4% [CI 95%: 19%-41.7%]. Median progression free survival 4 m [CI 95%, 2.3-5.8]. Median survival has not been reached at the time of analysis. Conclusions: Our findings confirm the consistently produced clinically meaningful efficacy of single agent NVBO for MBC. We observed a favorable safety profile with a particular low incidence of myelosupression and alopecia. We consider that oral vinorelbine is a suitable 1st or 2nd-line treatment for convenient administration in an outpatient environment in selected p with MBC.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a major public health challenge, and faces disparities and delays in the diagnosis and access to care. Our purposes were to describe the medical path of PDAC patients in the real-life setting and evaluate the overall survival at 1 year. We used the national hospital discharge summaries database system to analyze the management of patients with newly diagnosed PDAC over the year 2016 in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (AuRA) (France). A total of 1872 patients met inclusion criteria corresponding to an incidence of 22.6 per 100,000 person-year. Within the follow-up period, 353 (18.9%) were operated with a curative intent, 743 (39.7%) underwent chemo- and/or radiotherapy, and 776 (41.4%) did not receive any of these treatments. Less than half of patients were operated in a high-volume center, defined by more than 20 PDAC resections performed annually, mainly university hospitals. The 1-year survival rate was 47% in the overall population. This study highlights that a significant number of patients with PDAC are still operated in low-volume centers or do not receive any specific oncological treatment. A detailed analysis of the medical pathways is necessary in order to identify the medical and territorial determinants and their impact on the patient’s outcome.

e21541 Background: Immunotherapy (ITH) holds the possibility of tumor burden decrease after initial RECIST defined progression (PD). Clinical concept of treating of selected patients (pts) beyond PD is supported by this pseudoprogression phenomenon. The aim of this study was to evaluate real-life practice and outcomes related to treatment beyond progression (TBP) in melanoma patients. Methods: We evaluated advanced melanoma pts who started anti-PD1 treatment between 12/2015 and 12/2018 and identified pts who received TBP and had subsequent imaging to evaluate the tumor burden. Survival analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, Log-rank, chi-square and Fisher exact tests were used for comparison between groups. Data cut-off was 02/2021. Results: Of 399 subsequent melanoma pts treated, 57 (14%) patients received TBP. Anti-PD1 was 1st line treatment in 61.4% and 2nd line - in 38.6% of patients. 71.9% patients were diagnosed with skin, 7.0% - mucosal and 21.1% with FPI melanoma and 47.4% were BRAF mutated, 56.1% were male and 12.3% had 3 or more metastatic sites at treatment initiation. In this cohort median time to 1st PD (TTFP) was 4.43 months(m), while to 2nd PD (TTSP) – 8.01 m. On TBP 26.3% pts achieved objective response (OR), and next 42.1% - SD. 1st PD was reported most often as increase in 3 or more targets or one new lesion – both 22.8%; and in 24.6% cases involved central nervous system. In 56.8% second PD was observed in the same targets as 1st PD. 61.4% patients received multimodal treatment of ITH combined with radiation therapy – in 49.1%, surgery - 5.3% and both - 7.0%. There was no correlation of TTSP with gender, ECOG, initial disease stage or TNM, BRAF mutation, number of metastatic sites or pattern of progression. Multimodal treatment resulted in 13.6 m TTSP, while ITH alone - 8.0 m (p = 0.056). 1st line OR correlated with DCR on TBP while TTFP > 6 m correlated with TTSP (HR = 0.53, 95%CI 0.28-0.99). Patients with 1st line CR – had median TTSP 16.4 m, with PR – 23.5 m, while those with PD – 5.1 m. Median OS after 1st PD was 26 months and correlated with OR on TBP. Conclusions: Selected clinically fit melanoma patients despite evidence of first radiographic progression may benefit from continued treatment with PD-1 inhibitors. Multidisciplinary treatment should be offered to these patients including radiosurgery or stereotactic radiotherapy of progressing loci. Molecular biomarkers of TTSP should be analyzed in prospective studies.

Background: To assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with abiraterone acetate (AA) in chemotherapy-naïve men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in the ‘real-life’ setting. Methods: Data acquisition on the outcomes of the use of AA in chemotherapy-naive patients with mCRPC was performed by a MEDLINE comprehensive systematic literature search using combinations of the following key words: ‘prostate cancer’, ‘metastatic’, ‘castration resistant’, ‘abiraterone’, ‘real life’, and excluding controlled clinical trials (phase II and III studies). Identification and selection of the studies was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) criteria. Outcomes of interest were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), 12-week 50% reduction in prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and grade 3 and higher adverse events. Data were narratively synthesized in light of methodological and clinical heterogeneity. Results: Within the eight identified studies that fulfilled the criteria, a total of 801 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Baseline PSA ranged between 9.5 and 212.0 ng/ml. Most of the patients had bone metastases. Duration of treatment with AA was longer in the studies with lower baseline PSA levels. The median OS ranged between 14 and 36.4 months. The PFS, assessed according to different definitions, ranged from 3.9 to 18.5 months. A 50% PSA reduction at 12 weeks was reached by a variable percentage of patients ranging from 36.0% to 62.1%. Finally, the rate of grade 3 and higher adverse events was reported in three studies and ranged from 4.4% to 15.5%. Conclusions: Despite the high grade of heterogeneity among studies, treatment with AA seems to ensure good survival outcomes in the ‘real-life’ setting. However, prospective studies based on patients’ characteristics being more similar to ‘real-life’ patients are necessary.

3505 Background: T-DXd is an antibody–drug conjugate of a humanized anti-HER2 antibody bound to a topoisomerase I inhibitor by a cleavable linker. The primary analysis of DESTINY-CRC01 (DS8201-A-J203; NCT03384940), a phase 2, open-label, multicenter study of T-DXd in pts with HER2-expressing mCRC showed promising antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile (cohort A median follow-up [FU], 27.1 weeks; Siena S, ASCO 2020). We present updated longer-term efficacy and safety data. Methods: Pts had centrally confirmed HER2-expressing, RAS wild-type mCRC that progressed after ≥2 prior regimens. 6.4 mg/kg of T-DXd was administered every 3 weeks (Q3W) in 3 cohorts (A: HER2 IHC3+ or IHC2+/ISH+; B: IHC2+/ISH−; C: IHC1+). The primary end point was confirmed objective response rate (ORR) by independent central review in cohort A. Secondary end points were disease control rate (DCR; CR + PR + SD), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: At data cutoff (Dec 28, 2020), 86 pts (A, 53; B, 15; C, 18) received T-DXd. Median age was 58.5 y (range, 27-79), 53.5% were male, and 90.7% had left colon or rectum cancer. Median prior regimens for metastatic disease was 4 (range, 2-11). All pts had prior irinotecan; 30.2% in cohort A had prior anti-HER2 therapy. Median (m) treatment duration (all pts) was 3.0 mo (95% CI, 2.1-4.1; cohort A, 5.1 mo [95% CI, 3.9-7.6]). In cohort A (median FU, 62.4 weeks), confirmed ORR was 45.3% (24/53 pts; 95% CI, 31.6-59.6), DCR was 83.0% (44/53 pts; 95% CI, 70.2-91.9), mDOR was 7.0 mo (95% CI, 5.8-9.5), mPFS was 6.9 mo (95% CI, 4.1-8.7) with 37 (69.8%) PFS events, and mOS was 15.5 mo (95% CI, 8.8-20.8) with 36 (67.9%) OS events. These results are consistent with the primary analysis. Confirmed ORR was 43.8% (7/16 pts; 95% CI, 19.8-70.1) in pts with prior anti-HER2 therapy, 57.5% (23/40 pts; 95% CI, 40.9-73.0) in pts with IHC3+ status, and 7.7% (1/13 pts; 95% CI, 0.2-36.0) in pts with IHC2+/ISH+ status. In cohorts B and C, mPFS was 2.1 mo (95% CI, 1.4-4.1) and 1.4 mo (95% CI, 1.3-2.1); mOS was 7.3 mo (95% CI, 3.0-NE) and 7.7 mo (95% CI, 2.2-13.9), respectively. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of grade (G) ≥3 occurred in 65.1% of pts (56/86); the most common TEAEs were hematologic and gastrointestinal. TEAEs leading to drug discontinuation occurred in 13 pts (15.1%). 8 pts (9.3%) had interstitial lung disease (ILD) adjudicated by an independent committee as related to T-DXd (4 G2; 1 G3; 3 G5). Conclusions: T-DXd at 6.4 mg/kg Q3W showed promising activity and durability with longer-term FU in this pt population. The safety profile was consistent with prior results; ILD continues to be recognized as an important identified risk that requires careful monitoring and intervention as needed. These results support continued exploration of T-DXd in pts with HER2-overexpressing mCRC. Clinical trial information: NCT03384940.

275 Background: The REFLECT trial establishedlenvatinib (LEN) as a first-line treatment option for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Compared to sorafenib (S), LEN has a higher objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS) with a slightly different toxicity profile. The aim of this study was to gather data regarding the efficacy and safety of LEN when used in the real-world treatment of HCC. To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine LEN use in HCC patients treated outside of Asia. Methods: HCC patients treated with LEN from 10 cancer centers in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Nova Scotia between July 2018 to July 2020 were included. Overall survival (OS), PFS, disease control rate (DCR) and ORR were retrospectively analyzed and compared across first- and second-to-fourth line use of LEN. ORR was determined radiographically according to the treating physician´s opinion in clinical notes and not RECIST 1.1 or mRECIST. Toxicities were also examined. Results: A total of 220 patients were included in this analysis. Median age was 67 years, 80% were men and 25.5% East Asian. The most frequent causes of liver disease were hepatitis C (37%) and B (26%). 62% of patients received any localized treatment before LEN, of those 26% had TACE, 15% TARE and 7.7% had liver transplant. Before starting LEN 29% of patients were ECOG 0 and 59% were ECOG 1. Most patients were Child-Pugh A (81%) and BCLC stage C (75.5%). Main portal vein invasion was present in 14% of the patients. Median follow-up was 4.5 months. A total of 173 patients (79%) received LEN as first line therapy and 47 patients (21%) were treated in second-to-fourth line. Of patients receiving LEN in first line, 22 (13%) started treatment with S, but switched to LEN before progression due to poor tolerance of S. ORR, DCR, PFS and OS are shown in the table. Toxicities occurred in 86% of patients and led to dose reductions in 76 (35%) patients and drug discontinuation in 53 (24%) patients. The most common side effects were fatigue (59%), hypertension (41%), decreased appetite (25%) and diarrhea (22%). Conclusions: Outcomes of HCC patients treated in Canada with LEN in the first line are comparable to those demonstrated in the REFLECT trial, despite the inclusion of Child-Pugh B and ECOG >1 patients. LEN use in second or later lines also showed similar outcomes, although more conclusions are difficult to draw due to the small numbers. LEN appears to be effective and safe in real world practice outside of Asia in first- and second-to-fourth line treatment of HCC. [Table: see text]
