3060 Background: Sarcomas represent 10–15% of cancers in adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients, and survival for those with metastatic disease or after relapse is poor. Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibition has improved outcomes in multiple tumour types, but there are limited data on the efficacy of immunotherapy in advanced sarcomas, particularly within the AYA population. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed AYA patients with advanced bone and soft tissue sarcoma who received self-funded pembrolizumab at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse and Children’s Hospital Westmead. Initial response was evaluated after cycle three or four using RECIST v1.1 criteria. Results: Fourteen AYA patients with sarcoma received pembrolizumab 2mg/kg IV every 3 weeks from May 2015 to December 2016. Median age was 24 (14 – 35), male to female was 7:7, ECOG PS was 0 – 1 in 6 patients, 2 in 6 patients and 3 – 4 in 2 patients. Malignancy type included three patients with osteosarcoma (OS), five patients with Ewing sarcoma (ES), two patients with synovial sarcoma (SS), two patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS), and one patient with each of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and clear cell sarcoma (CCS). The median number of pembrolizumab doses was four (range 1 – 16), with one patient still receiving treatment at the time of last follow up. Treatment was generally very well tolerated with no G3-4 toxicity. One patient with ES had an excellent, sustained response; of the two patients with ASPS one had a radiological partial response with an excellent clinical response and one patient achieved stable disease. Three patients (two ES, one RMS) died of disease prior to first scheduled assessment and thus their response was not evaluable. The remaining 8 patients had progressive disease. Conclusions: Our data suggest further evaluation of the role of pembrolizumab in AYA patients with advanced sarcoma is warranted.

10523 Background: Recent studies suggest that VEGFR inhibition could play a role in the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Prior studies by our group showed that the combination of ifosfamide with sorafenib resulted in preclinical additive activity and that was feasible and safe in the phase I trial. Methods: Patients (pts) with advanced STS, previously treated with doxorubicin, no prior ifosfamide, ECOG PS 0-2, and adequate hematological, renal and hepatic function, were enrolled in this multicenter phase II study, receiving sorafenib 400 mg bid po continuously and ifosfamide 2 g/m2 iv for 3 days together with mesna 400 mg/m2 every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression-free rate (PFR) at 3 months. A one-sample binomial design was used (PFR P0=40%, P1=60%, α=0.10, β=0.20), requiring at least 19 of 35 pts free of progression at 3 months to be considered positive. Results: From September 09 to March 12, 35 pts were enrolled at 11 centers. Median age was 55 (18-73). PS: 0-13, 1-18; 2-4 pts. Histologic types were: LMS 12, Lipo 6, SS 5, MPNST 2, other 10 pts. . The median number of cycles administered per patient was 4. PFR at 3 months was 67%, with 23 pts being free of progression at 3 months. Median progression-free survival was 4.8 months (95% CI, 1.9-6.3) and median overall survival was 16.2 months. PR was achieved in 17% pts. Most common grade 3-4 toxicities were asthenia (25%), hand-foot syndrome (11%) and neutropenia (20%) resulting in 3 episodes of neutropenic fever. Other common toxicities (G1-4) included emesis (34%), rash (22%), diarrhea (34%), hypertension (11%) and mucositis (9%). Conclusions: The combination of ifosfamide and sorafenib is active and has acceptable toxicity in pts with doxorubicin pretreated STS. The PFR at 3 months might exceed the expected with ifosfamide alone warranting further investigation. Clinical trial information: EudraCT: 2007-002176-34.

e22518 Background: There is no standard therapy for soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients progressing after first-line chemotherapy. Anlotinib significantly prolonged PFS in advanced STS patients in the earlier results of ALTER0203. In view of regional differences, we further analysis results from Affiliated Sixth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University, one center in this IIB trial. Methods: Patients aged from 18 to 70 with advanced STS, progressing after anthracycline-based chemotherapy (not adapted to alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) and clear cell sarcoma (CSC)), angiogenesis inhibitor naive, at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1, were eligible. Patients were randomised in a 2:1 ratio to receive anlotinib (12 mg per day 2 weeks on and 1 week off) or placebo. Primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR). Results: This center of ALTER0203 enrolled 48 eligible patients who received either anlotinib (n = 32) or placebo (n = 16). Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) (13/48), ASPS (12/48), synovial sarcoma (SS) (11/48) were major subtypes. The median PFS was 1.57 months (95% CI: 1.19-1.95) for placebo versus 6.27 months (95% CI: 1.89-10.65) for anlotinib ( P= 0.009). ORR was 0% (0/16) for placebo versus 18.75% (6/32) for anlotinib ( P= 0.16); DCR was 18.75% (3/16) for placebo versus 56.25% (18/32) for anlotinib ( P= 0.02). The most common adverse events (AEs) were hypertension, elevated TSH, hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG). The most common Grade ≥3 AEs were menstrual disorder, hypertension, gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) elevation and lipase elevation. Conclusions: The efficacy and safety of anlotinib is further confirmed in advanced STS patients regarding regional differences. Clinical trial information: NCT02449343. [Table: see text]

Abstract Objective The relationship between the adolescent and young adult age groups and poor overall survival in soft tissue sarcoma and the risk factors for poor outcomes in adolescent and young adult patients with soft tissue sarcoma were analyzed. Methods The medical records of 7759 Japanese patients diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma from 2006–13 were accessed from the Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor registry. The epidemiological features of adolescent and young adult patients were compared with those of other age groups. The cancer survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The prognostic factors for cancer survival were analyzed with the Cox proportional hazards models. The primary endpoint for prognosis was tumor-related death. Results There were 210 children, 1467 adolescent and young adults, 2771 adults and 3311 elderly among the 7759 patients identified with soft tissue sarcoma. Compared with other age groups, the proportions of myxoid/round cell liposarcoma, synovial sarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, primitive neuroectodermal tumor and rhabdomyosarcoma in adolescent and young adult patients were the highest, but none was significantly more prevalent in adolescent and young adult patients. On multivariate analysis, age was not a prognostic factor for poor cancer survival among adolescent and young adult patients with soft tissue sarcoma. The cancer survival rates of adolescent and young adult patients with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor were poorer than those of the other age groups; however, adolescent and young adult age was not a prognostic factor on multivariate analysis in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor patients. Conclusions Our study is the first to investigate soft tissue sarcoma in adolescent and young adult patients using the nationwide Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor registry. Adolescent and young adult age is not a prognostic factor for poor cancer survival among those with soft tissue sarcoma in Japan.

11547 Background: Anlotinib, a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, had been prove to be effective for the treatment of advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma(STS) faild anthracycline chemotherapy. With the lack of prospective data of combination of PDL-1 inhibitor and antiangiogenic agent, we designed a phase 1b study to investigated the efficacy and safety of anlotinib plus TQB2450 in patients with STS. Methods: Eligible patients (age 18-70, ECOG 0-1, with histopathologically confirmed advanced STS, at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1, and previously received front-line anthracycline chemotherapy) were included and received anlotinib (12mg qd, D1-14, 21d/cycle) plus TQB2450 (1200 mg, IV, D1, 21d/cycle) until disease progression or intolerable toxicities.The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), secondary endpoints included safety, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR). Results: From January 2019 to January 2021, 30 pts were enrolled1, 12 alveolar soft part sarcoma and 18 others (7 synovial sarcoma, 4 leiomyosarcoma, 5 undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, 1 fibrosarcoma and 1 epithelioid sarcoma). ORR by RECIST was 36.7%, DCR was 83.3%, 11/30 pts had PR, 14/30 (46.7%) had SD, 5/30 (16.7%) PD. Median PFS was 9.6 m in all pts and 4.9m. in non-ASPS, respectively. Median OS in non-ASPS was 10.27m, while mOS in all pts and both mPFS and mOS in ASPS had not been reached. Notably, to ASPS pts, ORR was 75%, and DCR was 100%. The most common 1-2 grade treatment-related adverse reaction (TRAE) was hypothyroidism (19/30,63.3%),hypercholesterolemia (16/30, 53.3%) and hypertriglyceridemia (16/30, 53.3%), the most common ≥3 grade TRAEs were hypertriglyceridemia (3/30, 10%). 6 SAE (20%) occurred, including 2 pneumothorax, 1 Immune associated hapatic injury, 1 hypotension, 1 Immune myocarditis and 1 diabetic ketoacidosis. Conclusions: The combination of anlotinib and TQB2450 showed promising activity in second-line treatment of advanced STS, especially in ASPS, with well tolerance and acceptable toxicity.
