5524 Background: Recurrent/metastatic EC has a poor prognosis with no standard 2ndline therapy. Cabo is a multi-targeted kinase inhibitor of MET, VEGFR, TIE2, AXL & KIT, relevant in epithelial-stromal cross-talk. The role of MET/HGF in aggressive EC biology, where transient benefit of VEGF-targeting is due to MET/HGF, TIE2 & AXL, provides rationale for MET targeting in EC. Methods: PHL86 (NCI#9322/NCT01935934) is a multi-centre, phase II trial of cabo (60mg oral daily dose) in pts with EC recurring within a year of adjuvant chemotherapy (ctx), or with progression after 1 line of ctx for metastatic disease. Experimental (E) cohort was stratified by histology (serous (SER) vs endometroid (END)) in a Simon two-stage design for co-primary endpoints of response rate ( > 30%) & 12-week progression-free-survival (PFS) ( > 55%). Activity was defined as > 7 partial responses (PRs) or > 15 instances of 12 wk-PFS in 36 pts. Pts with rare histology EC were treated in a parallel exploratory (Ex) cohort. Results: From May 2013 to Nov 2016, 102 pts (E: 71; Ex: 31) have been treated with cabo after prior radiation (59) and/or ctx (no. lines: 1(77); 2(22)). Cabo was well tolerated with common toxicities of fatigue, nausea, diarrhea & hand-foot syndrome. Most frequent Grade 3/4 toxicity was hypertension (32/101 pts). Fistula/perforation occurred in 4 of 71 SER/END pts & 4 of 31 Ex pts; no risk factors were identified. In 33 END pts, 6 PRs & 24 instances of > 12-wk PFS were observed; median PFS is 4.8 mths (95% CI: 4.4 – 6.4) with estimated 6-mth PFS of 43% (95% CI: 27 to 59%). In 34 SER pts, 4 PRs & 20 instances of > 12-wk PFS were observed; median PFS is 4.0 mths (95% CI: 2.7 – 4.7) with estimated 6-mth PFS of 30% (95% CI: 15 to 46%). 4 pts have had PFS > 12 mths, 1 SER pt remains on study after 25mths. Mutational analysis demonstrated presence of KRAS with PTEN or PIK3CA mutations in 9 (SER/END) pts, of whom 8/9 pts met 12-wk PFS endpoint, with a median PFS 5.9 mth (4.1 to 15.4). Conclusions: Cabo has single agent activity in END and SER EC with durable disease control. Concurrent mutation in KRAS/PTEN/PIK3CA may enrich for response. The current data support further evaluation of cabo in EC. Clinical trial information: NCT01935934.

41 Background: Sorafenib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting VEGFr, PDGFr, Raf and other pathways. Encouraging response and survival were observed in a phase II trial combining sorafenib with chemotherapy in GE cancer (J Clin Oncol 27:2947;2010). We are studying single agent sorafenib in a phase II trial with the primary endpoint to assess progression free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints include response and therapy tolerance. Methods: Patients (pts) with measurable metastatic E and GEJ cancer with no more than 3 prior chemotherapy regimens were treated with sorafenib 400 mg BID. CT scans were performed monthly for the first 2 months, then every 2 months. Results: Sixteen of 35 pts have been accrued and 14 are currently evaluable. 13 male, 3 female, median KPS 80%, age 58, GEJ 7, E 9, squamous 2, adenocarcinoma (AC)14. An ongoing complete response (11+ months) was observed in a pt with biopsy proven metastatic neck lymphadenopathy (E primary AC, recurrence after prior chemoradiotherapy and surgery). A second pt (GEJ AC) had protracted stable disease in bulky celiac node disease (15+ months). Grade 3 toxicity was limited to skin rash (1 pt), hand foot reaction (1 pt), and fatigue (1 pt). Only 3 of 14 pts (21%) had early disease progression at 2 months or less. Median PFS 4 mos, 4 patients (29%) continue on therapy for more than 7 months. The majority of tumors tested positive for phospho-erk by immunohistochemistry (11/14, 79%). Conclusions: The observation of a durable complete response and protracted stable disease to sorafenib in E cancer is remarkable. Further accrual continues to define PFS.

Purpose Volasertib is a potent and selective cell-cycle kinase inhibitor that induces mitotic arrest and apoptosis by targeting Polo-like kinase. This phase II trial evaluated volasertib or single-agent chemotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant or -refractory ovarian cancer who experienced failure after treatment with two or three therapy lines. Patients and Methods Patients were randomly assigned to receive either volasertib 300 mg by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks or an investigator’s choice of single-agent, nonplatinum, cytotoxic chemotherapy. The primary end point was 24-week disease control rate. Secondary end points included best overall response, progression-free survival (PFS), safety, quality of life, and exploratory biomarker analyses. Results Of the 109 patients receiving treatment, 54 received volasertib and 55 received chemotherapy; demographics were well balanced. The 24-week disease control rates for volasertib and chemotherapy were 30.6% (95% CI, 18.0% to 43.2%) and 43.1% (95% CI, 29.6% to 56.7%), respectively, with partial responses in seven (13.0%) and eight (14.5%) patients, respectively. Median PFS was 13.1 weeks and 20.6 weeks for volasertib and chemotherapy (hazard ratio, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.66 to 1.53). Six patients (11%) receiving volasertib achieved PFS fore more than 1 year, whereas no patient receiving chemotherapy achieved PFS greater than 1 year. No relationship between the expression of the biomarkers tested and their response was determined. Patients treated with volasertib experienced more grade 3 and 4 drug-related hematologic adverse events (AEs) and fewer nonhematologic AEs than did patients receiving chemotherapy. Discontinuation resulting from AEs occurred in seven (13.0%) and 15 (27.3%) patients in the volasertib and chemotherapy arms, respectively. Both arms showed similar effects on quality of life. Conclusion Single-agent volasertib showed antitumor activity in patients with ovarian cancer. AEs in patients receiving volasertib were mainly hematologic and manageable.

Encouraging response and survival were observed in a phase II trial of sorafenib with chemotherapy in GE cancer (J Clin Oncol 27:2947;2010). We performed a phase II trial of single-agent sorafenib with the primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints include response and toxicity. Methods: Patients (Pts) with measurable metastatic E and GEJ cancer with ≤3 prior chemotherapy regimens were treated with sorafenib 400 mg BID. CT scans were performed monthly for the first 2 months, then every 2 months. Results: Thirty-five patients have been accrued, with 34 evaluable; median age 62, 31 male, 4 female, median KPS 80%, E 25, GEJ 10, adenocarcinoma (AC) 30 squamous 5, median no. of prior therapies 2. Of 31 response-evaluable Pts, 1 (3%) ongoing complete response was noted (34+ months) in a Pt with E AC with biopsy-proven lymph node recurrence after chemoradiation and surgery; 23 Pts (74%) had stable disease. Median PFS is 3.7 months (95% CI 1.9 to 4 months), with median overall survival 8.9 months (95% CI 6.9 to 11.6 months). Four patients remain on treatment. Significant grade 3 toxicities included hand foot reaction (3 Pts), rash (1 Pt), dehydration (3 Pts) and fatigue (2 Pts). Twenty-seven of 33 tumors (82%) tested positive for phospho-ERK by immunohistochemistry. Conclusions: Encouraging activity in terms of PFS has been noted in this heavily pre-treated population. Updated data will be presented. Supported by a grant from Bayer. Clinical trial information: NCT00917462.

Purpose The benefit of salvage chemotherapy is modest in metastatic urothelial cancer. We conducted a randomized, noncomparative phase II study to measure the efficacy of cetuximab with or without paclitaxel in patients with previously treated urothelial cancer. Patients and Methods Patients with metastatic urothelial cancer who received one line of chemotherapy in the perioperative or metastatic setting were randomly assigned to 4-week cycles of cetuximab 250 mg/m2 with or without paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 per week. We used early progression as an indicator of futility. Either arm would close if seven of the initial 15 patients in that arm progressed at the first disease evaluation at 8 weeks. Results We enrolled 39 evaluable patients. The single-agent cetuximab arm closed after nine of the first 11 patients progressed by 8 weeks. The combination arm completed the full accrual of 28 patients, of whom 22 patients (78.5%) had visceral disease. Twelve of 28 patients had progression-free survival greater than 16 weeks. The overall response rate was 25% (95% CI, 11% to 45%; three complete responses and four partial responses). The median progression-free survival was 16.4 weeks (95% CI, 12 to 25.1 weeks), and the median overall survival was 42 weeks (95% CI, 30.4 to 78 weeks). Treatment-related grade 3 and 4 adverse events that occurred in at least two patients were rash (six cases), fatigue (five cases), and low magnesium (three cases). Conclusion Although it had limited activity as a single agent, cetuximab appears to augment the antitumor activity of paclitaxel in previously treated urothelial cancers. The cetuximab and paclitaxel combination merits additional study to establish its role in the treatment of urothelial cancers.

4529 Background: Renal cell carcinomas are known for their vascularity and production of high levels of VEGF. Sunitinib malate (SU11248), an oral, multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor of multiple receptors including VEGFR, PDGFR, KIT, RET, and FLT3, has previously demonstrated significant efficacy in 168 patients (pts) with mRCC, with a 42% objective response rate (ORR) at 50 mg/day in 6-week (wk) cycles of 4 wks on treatment followed by 2 wks off. This study sought to determine the efficacy and safety of single-agent sunitinib in mRCC when administered in a continuous 37.5 mg/day regimen. Methods: Pts with histologically proven mRCC, refractory to a cytokine-based regimen, were enrolled in this open-label, multicenter, phase II study. Eligibility criteria included measurable disease, ECOG PS 0/1, and adequate organ function. Pts were randomized to receive sunitinib in the morning (AM) or in the evening (PM) at a dose of 37.5 mg/day, with individual doses subsequently titrated based on tolerability. The primary endpoint was RECIST-defined ORR. Secondary endpoints includedprogression-free survival, adverse events (AEs) and quality of life measures. Results: A total of 88/100 planned pts have been randomized to date: AM (43) and PM (45), and enrollment will be completed by end January 2006. 44 pts have been on continuous sunitinib treatment at 37.5 mg/day for >16 wks (3), >12 wks (9), >8 wks (12), and >4 wks (20). 2 pts (2.3%) discontinued (colon perforation and renal insufficiency) and 9 (10.2%) dose reduced to 25 mg/day due to grade 2/3 AEs: mucositis (2), hand-foot syndrome (2), thrombocytopenia (2), asthenia (1), nausea/diarrhea (1), and neutropenia (1). Preliminary efficacy data show some tumor shrinkage in the majority of patients evaluated at 4 wks, with 3 initial partial responses. There has been no significant difference between pts who received AM or PM doses. The most commonly reported AEs were mucositis, fatigue, hair/skin discoloration, and hand-foot syndrome. Conclusions: Sunitinib administered at a continuous dose of 37.5 mg/day was generally well tolerated; only a few patients required treatment breaks and/or dose reduction. Preliminary efficacy data are encouraging. Mature data will be presented. [Table: see text]

7543 Background: Enzastaurin, an oral serine/threonine kinase inhibitor, suppresses signaling through PKC and the PI3K/AKT pathway, induces tumor cell apoptosis, reduces proliferation, and suppresses tumor-induced angiogenesis. Over-expression and activity of PKC and PI3K/AKT are associated with poor prognosis and treatment resistance in NSCLC. This multicenter phase II trial of enzastaurin as second- and third-line treatment of NSCLC determined the rate of progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months (mos). Secondary objectives included safety and the rate of overall survival (OS) at 12 mos. Methods: Eligibility included metastatic (stage IV and wet IIIB) NSCLC and prior platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients (pts) received 500 mg of oral enzastaurin, once daily, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurred. All pts were eligible for 2nd or 3rd line treatment. Results: In the 54 pts enrolled [54% M, 46% F; median age: 63 (range: 43–82); 22.2% stage III, 77.8% stage IV, ECOG PS=2], adenocarcinoma was the most frequent diagnosis (67%). Prior therapies included radiotherapy (74%) and EGFR inhibitors (28%). At the final analysis, the median PFS was 1.9 mos (95% CI: 1.7–1.9), and the PFS rate at 6 mos was 14% (95% CI: 4.4%–23.6%). The median OS was 9.9 mos (95% CI: 6.5–14.6). The OS rate at 12 mos was 46.3% (95% CI: 32.1%–60.5%). Nineteen pts (35%) had stable disease (SD); none had a complete or partial response. Ten (19%) pts were on-study for =6 cycles, 3 of whom continued for >10 months. The most common toxicity, fatigue (grade =2, n=15), occurred within 1 week of enrollment and was not reported in pts with SD. Grade =3 toxicities observed were ataxia (n=1), fatigue (n=2), thrombo-embolism (n=1), and anemia (n=1). Two pts discontinued due to fatigue and dizziness. Five pts died on-study and 4 within 30 days of discontinuation due to PD. Post-study chemotherapy (n=28) included bevacizumab, erlotinib, pemetrexed, gemcitabine, cisplatinum and paclitaxel. Conclusion: Although no objective tumor responses occurred, 14% of the pts were progression-free at 6 months. Based on encouraging survival and tolerability data, further evaluation of enzastaurin as a single agent or in combination, is warranted in NSCLC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

5101 Background: Sunitinib malate is an oral, multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor of VEGFRs and PDGFRs with anti-tumor activity in mRCC patients previously treated with cytokines (JAMA, 2006;295:2516). A phase 3 randomized trial showed superiority for SU over IFN in first-line mRCC (PROC ASCO 24,18S, 2006). Dose and safety for SU combined with IFN was investigated in this phase I trial. Methods: Patients (pts) with previously untreated clear-cell mRCC received SU in repeated 6-week cycles of 50 or 37.5 mg/day orally for 4 weeks, followed by 2 weeks off treatment. IFN was given continuously, starting at 3 MU SC 3x/week with intrapatient dose escalation weekly as tolerated, to a maximum of 9 MU. Pts not tolerating a dose combination received lower doses of SU or IFN, or had dose interruptions. Doses of SU plus IFN were considered tolerable if = 4/6 pts completed 2 cycles without dose reduction or interruption. Results: 25 pts were enrolled; 19 are evaluable for safety/response. 6 pts who started treatment at 37.5 SU and 3 MU IFN are too early. The median age of the 19 pts (16 M: 3 F) was 63 years (range 45–77). MSKCC risk group (JCO 20:289–96, 2002) was 37% good and 63% intermediate. 12 pts started treatment with SU 50 mg and dose escalated IFN to 6 or 9 MU TIW. 13 pts started treatment with SU 37.5 mg and dose escalated IFN at 3 MU or to 6 MU TIW. 4 of 19 pts tolerated two cycles. 68% of pts had dose interruptions of SU; 90% of pts had dose interruptions of IFN. 15/19 pts had grade 3 toxicity, 1 pt had grade 4 hypertension and 1 pt grade 5 toxicity (myocardial infarction). Most common grade 3 toxicities were neutropenia (26%), fatigue (26%), and hand-foot syndrome (16%). Although response was not a primary endpoint, at a median of 3 cycles, there were 2 PR, 14 SD, 2 PD and 1 pt was not evaluable. Conclusions: The adverse events seen with combination SU and IFN in mRCC, neutropenia and fatigue, were similar to those seen with single agent SU and IFN, and resulted in frequent dose modifications and interruptions. The safety and efficacy of 37.5 mg sunitinib and 3 MU IFN is being evaluated. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

3512 Background: The combination of S and T is hypothesized to maximize pathway inhibition by concurrently targeting parallel signaling mechanisms and will abrogate potential resistance mechanisms directed towards the MAPK pathway through increased signaling via the survival pathway involving PI3K/Akt. Methods: Eligible patients (pts) were treated with escalating continuous oral doses of S (200 and 400 mg BID) and weekly T IV (15 mg, 25 mg). S began on day 8 of course 1 to permit PK evaluations of T. PD studies in PBMCs were performed serially in pts. Results: To date, 24 evaluable pts have received 85 courses [median 3;range1–12] in the following S/T dose cohorts; cohort 1: 200 mg/15 mg (n=6), cohort 2: 400 mg/15 mg (n=11), cohort 3: 400 mg/25 mg (n=6), and cohort 4: 200 mg/25 mg (n=1). Patients demographics were males/female 11/13, median age 54.5 [range 27–71] and PS of 0/1/2 : n=9/13/2. Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) were grade 3 typhlitis in 1/6 pts in cohort 1, and mucositis in 1/6 pts in cohort 2. Expansion of cohort 2 to 11 patients resulted in 4 additional DLTs (hand foot syndrome (HFS) x 2 pts, thrombycytopenia/rash x 1 pt, creatinine elevation x 1 pt). 3 of 6 pts in cohort 3 experienced DLT (HFS x 2 pts, thrombocytopenia x 1 pt). PK analyses show no evidence of S effect on T kinetics while Css,min values of S are consistent with those reported in single-agent studies (S 200mg BID median Css,min 4.42 μg/mL [SD 3.05], S 400 mg BID median Css,min 5.11 μg/mL [SD 4.35]). Apparent downregulation of 4E-BP1 and activated forms of p70S6 kinase and ERK was observed in some patients following treatment. Partial responses have occurred in NHL (1 pt) and papillary thyroid cancer (1 pt) and prolonged SD (> 12 mo) has been observed in RCC (1 pt). Conclusions: The combination of S and T demonstrate significant mucocutaneous toxicity at full doses of S, however preliminary PK analyses show no evidence of drug-drug interactions. Characterization of an intermediate dose of S 200 mg BID/T 25 mg IV is ongoing. [Table: see text]

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.

1133 Background: Pazopanib, an oral small molecule inhibitor of VEGFR, PDGFR, and KIT, has demonstrated activity in phase I, with a recommended phase II dose of 800 mg/d (Hurwitz H et al, J Clin Oncol. 2005;23[16 suppl]:3012.1). We evaluated the activity of single agent pazopanib in recurrent or metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods: In this 2-stage design, patients with recurrent or MBC received pazopanib 800 mg/d. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) of 20%. Response in 3 out of 18 patients was required to go to stage 2. Treatment was continued until progression. Results: 21 patients entered stage 1; 67% were ER positive and all were HER-2-negative. Prior lines of chemotherapy were 1 in 76% and 2 in 14%. Of the 19 evaluable patients, 2 patients remain on treatment. 14 (74%) stopped due to progressive disease, 2 (10%) due to adverse events, and 1 (5%) due to patient request. Best response was partial response (PR) in 1 (5%), stable disease (SD) in 11 (58%), and progressive disease in 7 (37%). Clinical benefit rate (CR, PR, or SD for ≥ 6 months) was 26%. Median time to progression (TTP) was 3.7 months (95% C.I. 1.7 months - not reached). 9 out of 18 patients (50%) with measurable target lesions had some decrease in target lesion size. Estimated progression-free survival at 3 months was 55%, and 28% at 6 months. Adverse events were grade 3/4 elevations in AST (14%) and ALT (10%), and grade 3 hypertension and neutropenia (14% each). Other common events were grade 1/2 lymphopenia, neutropenia, diarrhea, fatigue, skin hypopigmentation, hypertension, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and headache. Conclusions: Pazopanib is well tolerated and demonstrates activity in pretreated breast cancer. While the target ORR of 20% has not been met, rates of SD and TTP are comparable to other active agents in this setting, and therefore pazopanib may be an interesting agent for future studies in breast cancer.
