4051 Background: Afatinib, an irreversible pan-ErbB kinase inhibitor showed anti-tumor activity against esophageal cancer in phase I trial. In this multicenter, open-label, single arm phase II study, we aimed to evaluate the activity and safety of afatinib in R/M ESCC. Methods: Patients (pts) who had ECOG PS 0-2 and had progressed on platinum-based chemotherapy for R/M ESCC were enrolled. Pts were treated with afatinib 40mg/day until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient’s refusal. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1. The estimated sample size was 49, using a two-stage minimax design to evaluate incremental response rate from 5 to 15%. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), and safety profile. Additionally, we try to identify biomarker to predict efficacy of afatinib with target capture sequencing and gene expression profile as exploratory endpoints. Results: In a total of 49 enrolled pts (median age 60; range 44 -84), ORR and DCR were 14.3 % and 73.3%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 6.6 months, median PFS and OS was 3.4 months (95% CI 2.2-4.6) and 6.6 months (95% CI 5.2-8.0). Median treatment duration and duration of response were 2.8 months (range, 0.4-15.3) and 7.1 months (range, 2.5-13.9), respectively. Dose reduction and interruption occurred in 19 (38.8%) and 15 (30.6 %) pts. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) occurred in 33 pts (67.3%) with most common TRAEs being diarrhea (n=22, 44.9%) and acneiform rash (n=12, 24.5%). G3-4 TRAEs were rare, occurring in 7 pts (14.3 %). Conclusions: Afatinib demonstrated modest efficacy with manageable toxicity in platinum-resistant R/M ESCC patients. Given the modest response rate, identification of predictive biomarkers is essential for further clinical investigation of afatinib in R/M ESCC. Those biomarkers are being analyzed and will be presented in the conference (NCT02353936). Clinical trial information: NCT02353936. [Table: see text]

PURPOSE Targeted therapies against non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring HER2 mutations remain an unmet need. In this study, we assessed the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib in patients with HER2-mutant advanced NSCLC in a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase II study. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with stage IIIB or IV HER2-mutant lung adenocarcinoma who were previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy were enrolled to receive pyrotinib at a dose of 400 mg/d for 21-day cycles. The primary end point was objective response rate per independent review committee (IRC). RESULTS Between October 20, 2016, and December 10, 2018, 60 patients received pyrotinib monotherapy. At baseline, 58 (96.7%) were stage IV, and 25 (41.7%) received at least 2 lines of prior chemotherapy. As of data cutoff on June 20, 2019, IRC-assessed objective response rate was 30.0% (95% CI, 18.8% to 43.2%). All subgroups of patients with different HER2 mutation types showed a favorable objective response rate. The objective response rates were similar between patients with and without brain metastases (25.0% v 31.3%). The median duration of response was 6.9 months (95% CI, 4.9 to 11.1 months). The median progression-free survival was 6.9 months (95% CI, 5.5 to 8.3 months) per IRC. The median overall survival was 14.4 months (95% CI, 12.3 to 21.3 months). Treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or 4 occurred in 28.3% of patients, with the most common being diarrhea (20.0%; all grade 3). No treatment-related deaths were reported. CONCLUSION Pyrotinib showed promising antitumor activity and an acceptable safety profile in chemotherapy-treated patients with HER2-mutant NSCLC.

5576 Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) overexpression in EC correlates with poor outcome, thus targeting VEGF is a rational therapeutic approach. We have conducted a two-stage open-label phase II study in advanced EC with sunitinib, an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor of multiple VEGF receptors. Methods: Eligible pts have recurrent or metastatic EC and have received up to 1 prior chemotherapy (CT) regimen for metastatic disease. Sunitinib is given at 50 mg daily (OD) for 4 consecutive weeks (wks) followed by 2 wks off. Dose could be reduced to 37.5 mg OD and then 25 mg OD in the setting of toxicity. Imaging is repeated every 12 wks. Primary objectives are objective response rate (ORR by RECIST) and rate of 6-month progression-free survival (PFS). If 1 or more responses occur in the first 15 evaluable pts, the study would continue to a second stage (total = 30 pts). Secondary objectives are time to progression (TTP), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results: We report the results of the first stage of this study. Sixteen pts have been treated (median age: 63; range 41–74) with 37 cycles of sunitinib (median 2; range: 1–7). Baseline ECOG PS was 0 (7 pts), 1 (8 pts), or 2 (1 pt). Histology was endometrioid (7 pts), serous (5 pts), clear cell (1 pt), or mixed/other (3 pts). Most pts had high-grade histology (G3: 8; G2: 4; G1: 2; GX: 2). Nine pts had prior adjuvant CT, 8 pts had 1 prior CT for advanced EC, 4 pts had prior hormones and 7 pts had prior radiotherapy. Partial response was achieved by 2 pts (ORR = 12.5%), and 2 other pts had a best response of stable disease; 3 of these pts remained progression-free > 6 months. Median TTP = 2.5 months (95% CI: 2.47-NR), and median OS = 6.2 months (95% CI: 5.1-NR). Grade 3/4 adverse events (AE) in >10% of pts were fatigue (7 pts, 44%) and hypertension (5 pts, 31%). Dose reduction was required for 11 of 16 pts (69%). Two pts were inevaluable after receiving <2 cycles due to AE (grade 4 hyponatremia; grade 3 fatigue) and 1 other pt has yet to complete 2 cycles. Conclusions: Sunitinib shows preliminary activity in EC. This trial will proceed to a second stage of accrual to further explore the efficacy and safety of sunitinib in advanced EC.

ObjectivesWe conducted a phase II study to investigate the efficacy and toxicities of irinotecan plus oral S-1 in patients with advanced or recurrent uterine cervical cancer.MethodsPatients with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer previously treated with platinum based chemotherapy were enrolled. Irinotecan (150 mg/m2) was administered intravenously over the course of 90 min on day 1, and S-1 (80 mg/m2) was given orally in two divided doses from days 1 to 14 of a 21 day cycle. The primary endpoint of this phase II study was response rate. Secondary endpoints included safety, progression free survival, and overall survival.ResultsA total of 19 patients were enrolled and treated. The response rate was 29.4%. Grade 3–4 hematologic toxicities were observed in three patients (15.7%). The only grade 3–4 non-hematologic toxicity observed was grade 3 diarrhea. The median progression free survival and overall survival were 3 months and 9 months, respectively.ConclusionS-1 plus irinotecan in a 3 weekly setting is safe and active in women with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer previously treated with platinum based chemotherapy. Future corroborative clinical studies are warranted.

Purpose This phase II study evaluated the activity of combined treatment with interferon alfa-2b and sorafenib, a Raf and multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in patients with advanced renal carcinoma. Patients and Methods Eligible patients had metastatic or unresectable renal carcinoma with a clear-cell component, no prior systemic therapy, performance status 0 to 1, and measurable disease. Treatment consisted of interferon alfa-2b 10 × 106 U subcutaneously three times weekly and sorafenib 400 mg orally bid. The primary end point was confirmed Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors response rate. Results Twelve (19%) of 62 assessable patients achieved an objective confirmed response. An additional 31 (50%) had an unconfirmed partial response or stable disease as best response. The median progression-free survival was 7 months (95% CI, 4 to 11 months). The most common adverse events were fatigue, anorexia, anemia, diarrhea, nausea, rigors/chills, leukopenia, fever, and transaminase elevation. Von Hippel-Lindau gene mutations were detected in four (22%) of 18 archival tumor specimens. Conclusion The confirmed response rate for the combination of sorafenib and interferon in advanced renal carcinoma is greater than expected with either interferon or sorafenib alone. The toxicity of this combination is dominated by adverse events common to interferon that limit further development of this regimen.

2066 Background: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of ifosfamide, carboplatin and etoposide ( ICE ) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Methods: This was an open-label, single-center phase II trial. Forty-two patients with first recurrent glioblastoma after surgery, standard radiotherapy and a first-line temozolomide-based or ACNU-based chemotherapy, were enrolled.The primary endpoint was progression-free survival at 6 months ( PFS-6 ), and secondary endpoints were response rate, toxicity, and survival. Chemotherapy consisted of Ifosfamide ( 700 mg / m2 on day 1, 2 and 3 ), carbopaltin ( 100 mg / m2 on day 1 ), etoposide ( 70 mg / m2 on day 1, 2, and 3 ), every 6 weeks. Results: PFS-6 was 37 %. The median PFS was 17 weeks. Response rate was 27 %. Adverse events were generally mild ( grade 1 or 2 ) and consisted mainly of alopecia. Conclusions: This regimen is well tolerated and has activity in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

TPS3635^ Background: The identification of prognostic and predictive biomarkers could significantly improve the risk-benefit ratio and cost-effectiveness of 1st-line mCRC regimens. This is the first prospective study of tumoral ERCC1 (chemo-resistance marker to platinum compounds) and plasma VEGF-A as potential biomarkers for oxaliplatin- and BV-containing regimens, respectively, in an effort to further define the optimal chemotherapy backbone with biologic therapies, including BV, for mCRC. Methods: In this randomized, open-label, global, phase II study, patients (N=360) with histologically or cytologically confirmed CRC and ≥1 measurable metastatic lesion are stratified at screening by tumoral ERCC1 mRNA expression (high vs low, cutoff of 1.7 [ERCC1/β-actin mRNA]). Eligibility criteria include completion of adjuvant therapy >12 months before screening and an ECOG performance status ≤1. Blood samples are collected to quantify plasma VEGF-A levels. Patients within each ERCC1 stratification group are randomized 1:1 to mFOLFOX6-BV or FOLFIRI-BV administered in 2-week cycles. BV will be given at a dose of 5 mg/kg IV q2w. Patients will remain on study treatment until disease progression (PD) or unacceptable toxicity. If oxaliplatin or irinotecan need to be discontinued, BV and 5-fluorouracil or capecitabine are to be continued until PD. The primary objectives are: 1) to assess ERCC1 and VEGF-A as biomarkers of progression-free survival (PFS) for oxaliplatin- and BV-containing regimens in 1st-line mCRC, and 2) within ERCC1 high patients, to test whether FOLFIRI-BV is associated with a prolonged 1st-line PFS compared to mFOLFOX6-BV. Secondary objectives include assessing the impact of these markers on overall survival, objective response, hepatic metastases resection, and safety. Exploratory endpoints include correlative analyses with additional tumor tissue, blood, and SNP markers. The first patient was enrolled in August 2011. An interim biomarker distribution assessment of the first 100 patients is planned, and the evaluation of the primary endpoints is estimated for early 2015. Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01374425.

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.

Balstilimab (anti-programmed death 1) and zalifrelimab (anti-CTLA-4) are two new checkpoint inhibitors that have emerged as promising investigational agents for the treatment of cervical cancer, particularly in the setting of previously-treated, recurrent/metastatic disease. Here we describe the rationale and design of RaPiDS (NCT03894215), a two-arm Phase II study evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of balstilimab administered alone or in combination with zalifrelimab in patients with advanced cervical cancer who progressed after first-line, platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio. The primary end point is objective response rate, and key secondary objectives include safety, duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival and quality of life outcomes.

7106 Background: E7389, a synthetic analog of halichondrin B that was isolated from a marine sponge, has broad anti-proliferative activity at nanomolar levels and a unique profile of tubulin interactions. Methods: This is an open-label, single-arm, stratified phase II study of E7389 in patients with measurable, recurrent and/or metastatic NSCLC who progressed during or after platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. E7389 (1.4 mg/m2) was administered as a bolus IV on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle to 72 patients (cohort 1) in stratum I (55 taxane pretreated patients) and stratum II (17 taxane-naive patients) and on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle (cohort 2), providing an additional 22 patients in stratum I. The primary efficacy endpoint was objective response rate to E7389 monotherapy. Results: As of 9 December 2005, 94 evaluable patients received E7389. Nineteen tumors were classified as squamous cell carcinomas, 39 as adenocarcinomas, and 36 were large cell carcinomas or unclassified. The median number of cycles completed was 3. Fifteen patients completed 6 or more cycles and 75 patients underwent tumor assessments after cycle 2. Major toxicities related to study drug included myelosuppression, nausea, fatigue, dehydration, arthralgias, dyspnea, and peripheral neuropathy. Based on RECIST criteria, 6 partial responses (PR) were observed among 94 evaluable patients (PR rate = 6.4%, 95% CI: 2.8%, 12.8%). For 33 patients the best response was stable disease (SD rate = 35.1%, 95% CI: 25.5%, 45.1%). Disease control rate (PR + SD) was 41.5% (95% CI: 31.4%, 51.7%). For cohort 1, the 12-week progression free survival rate was 57.2%. As of 9 December 2005, median PFS time was 108 days (95% CI = 55, min-max = 1–239+). Cohort 2 is being followed to estimate their 12-week PFS. The correlation of beta tubulin isotype, stathmin, microtubule-associated protein 4 (MAP4) and tau protein mRNA expression with tumor responses is on-going. Conclusions: Based on this data, E7389 has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of NSCLC patients. Updated information and results of molecular correlations of responses will be presented. [Table: see text]

106 Background: CUP has a poor prognosis with a median survival of less than 12 months. Given the recent approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors in several cancer types, we performed a multicenter phase II study of nivolumab in CUP patients (pts). Methods: The main population of this study is CUP pts who were previously treated with more than one line of systemic chemotherapy. Previously untreated CUP pts were also enrolled for exploratory analysis. Pathological examination (including IHC), CT, FDG-PET, gastroscopy and colonoscopy and medical examination were mandatory for diagnosis of CUP before enrollment. CUP pts belonging to favorable prognosis groups were excluded from the trial. Nivolumab (240 mg/body) was delivered as an intravenous infusion every 2 weeks for up to 52 cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) according to RECIST 1.1 by an Independent Endpoint Review Committee in previously treated pts. The secondary objectives include investigator-assessed ORR, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), safety and the association between the efficacy of nivolumab and PD-L1 expression. Results: A total of 56 CUP pts, 45 previously treated and 11 previously untreated pts, were enrolled in this trial. The median age was 65.5 years, 22 pts were male. Median follow-up was 8.05 mo (range, 0.1 to 20.7 mo). Of 45 previously treated pts, 2 and 9 had an investigator-assessed complete response and partial response (ORR 24.4%, 95% CI: 12.9-39.5%), with a median PFS (mPFS) and OS (mOS) of 5.4 mo (95% CI: 2.6-6.9) and 15.1 mo (95% CI: 8.3-NR), respectively. Among 11 previously untreated pts, 1 pt had partial response (ORR 9.1%, 95% CI: 0.2-41.3%). The mPFS was 3.9 mo and the mOS was not reached in untreated pts (95% CI: 1.1-5.6, and 95% CI: 2.6-NR, respectively). Nivolumab demonstrated a mPFS of 5.1mo (95% CI: 2.7-5.6) and a mOS of 15.9 mo (95% CI: 8.4-NR) in an overall population. Immune-related adverse events occurred in 57% of overall pts with 5% of grade 3 or higher, and the most common were rash (27%), hypothyroidism (16%), and diarrhea/colitis (16%). No treatment related death was observed. Conclusions: In pts with previously treated and untreated CUP, nivolumab demonstrated durable antitumor activity with a manageable safety.
