9033 Background: EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are the recommended first line treatment for EGFR-mutant lung cancers. Osimertinib, an EGFR TKI that inhibits both sensitizing EGFR mutations and EGFR T790M, is approved for use after progression on an EGFR TKI with evidence of EGFR T790M, and is currently being assessed as initial treatment for EGFR-mutant lung cancers. The addition of bevacizumab to erlotinib resulted in improved progression free survival (PFS) compared to erlotinib alone as initial treatment (16 vs 10 months, HR 0.41). This phase 1/2 study is assessing osimertinib and bevacizumab as initial treatment for patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancers. Methods: We evaluated toxicity and efficacy of osimertinib and bevacizumab as initial treatment for patients with advanced EGFR-mutant lung cancers. Using a 3+3 design, full doses of osimertinib (80mg PO daily) and bevacizumab (15mg/kg IV q3 weeks) were given, with a planned dose de-escalation (osimertinib 40mg PO daily) should grade 3 or greater toxicity be seen. Six patients must be treated without a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) to determine the MTD. 43 additional patients will be treated at the MTD in the phase 2 study, with a primary endpoint of PFS at 12 months. Response was evaluated by RECIST 1.1. Results: From Sept 2016 to Jan 2017, 15 patients were enrolled. Median age: 63; Women 11; EGFR L858R = 8, Ex19del = 6, G709A/G719S = 1. After median duration of treatment of 2.7 months, no DLTs were seen in any patient. The MTD was determined to be osimertinib 80mg, bevacizumab 15mg/kg q3 weeks. In total, 15 patients are being treated at the MTD to date. Treatment-related adverse events (AE) were all grade 1-2, except for grade 3 hypertension. The most frequent treatment-related AEs (any grade) were rash (53%), diarrhea (40%), hypertension (33%), fatigue (20%), and itching (20%). All 15 patients continue on study. Conclusions: Combination osimertinib and bevacizumab is a tolerable first-line treatment for patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancers and the MTD is osimertinib 80mg and bevacizumab 15mg/kg q3 weeks. Assessment of efficacy with an endpoint of PFS at 12 months is ongoing. Supported by AstraZeneca (NCT02803203). Clinical trial information: NCT02803203.

Background: Among patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we compared the progression-free survival (PFS) and proportion of acquisition of T790M mutation of the epidermal growth receptor gene (EGFR) after first-line treatment with epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in patient groups with and without tumor expression of programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1). Methods: Data of patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC were retrospectively analyzed. Tumor PD-L1 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry using the 22C3 antibody. T790M gene mutation was evaluated by Cobas EGFR assay using tissues or humoral specimens. Results: Data of 47 patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC were analyzed. The median (95% confidence interval) PFS in the PD-L1-negative and -positive patient groups were 12.9 (9.7–15.4) months and 9.0 (5.1–12.3) months, respectively (p = 0.029). T790M gene mutation was analyzed in 27 patients. The proportion of acquisition of T790M mutation of EGFR after first-line treatment with an EGFR-TKI was higher in the PD-L1-negative patient group than in the PD-L1-positive patient group (8/11 patients (72.7%) vs. 4/16 patients (25.0%); p = 0.022). Conclusions: Patients with negative tumor PD-L1 expression showed longer PFS and a higher proportion of acquisition of T790M mutation of EGFR after first-line treatment with an EGFR-TKI.

PURPOSE: To study how adding oxaliplatin (l-OHP) to chronomodulated fluorouracil (5-FU)–leucovorin (LV) affected the objective response rate, as first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two hundred patients from 15 institutions in four countries were randomly assigned to receive a 5-day course of chronomodulated 5-FU and LV (700 and 300 mg/m2/d, respectively; peak delivery rate at 0400 hours) with or without l-OHP on the first day of each course (125 mg/m2, as a 6-hour infusion). Each course was repeated every 21 days. Response was assessed by extramural review of computed tomography scans. RESULTS: Grade 3 to 4 toxicity from 5-FU–LV occurred in ≤ 5% of the patients (≤ 1% of the courses). Grade 3 to 4 diarrhea occurred in 43% of the patients given l-OHP (10% of the courses), and less than 2% of the patients had severe hematotoxicity. Thirteen percent of the patients had moderate functional impairment from peripheral sensory neuropathy. Sixteen percent of the patients receiving 5-FU–LV had an objective response (95% confidence interval [CI], 9% to 24%), compared with 53% of those receiving additional l-OHP (95% CI, 42% to 63%) (P < .001). The median progression-free survival time was 6.1 months with 5-FU–LV (range, 4.1 to 7.4 months) and 8.7 months (7.4 to 9.2 months) with l-OHP and 5-FU–LV (P = .048). Median survival times were 19.9 and 19.4 months, respectively. CONCLUSION: By chronomodulating 5-FU–LV, we were able to add l-OHP without compromising dose-intensities. l-OHP significantly improved the antitumor efficacy of this regimen.

LBA2 Background: Gemcitabine-cisplatin (GP) chemotherapy is the standard 1st line treatment for locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic (r/m) NPC. Toripalimab, a humanized IgG4K monoclonal antibody specific for PD-1, provided durable responses in patients (pts) with r/m NPC as monotherapy in the ≥2nd line setting (POLARIS-02 study). The results of JUPITER-02, a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded Phase III trial of toripalimab in combination with GP chemotherapy as first-line treatment for r/m NPC are summarized. Methods: Pts with advanced NPC with no prior chemotherapy in the r/m setting were randomized (1:1) to receive toripalimab 240 mg or placebo d1 in combination with gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 d1, d8 and cisplatin 80 mg/m2 d1 every 3 weeks (Q3W) for up to 6 cycles, followed by monotherapy with toripalimab or placebo Q3W until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or completion of 2 years of treatment. Stratification factors were ECOG PS (0 vs. 1) and extent of disease (recurrent vs. primary metastatic) at enrollment. Progression-free survival (PFS) and response were assessed by independent review committee (IRC) per RECIST v1.1. The primary endpoint was PFS by IRC in the ITT population. Secondary end points included ORR, DOR and OS. There was one prespecified interim analysis of PFS at 130 PFS events with a planned final analysis at 200 PFS events. Results: 289 pts were randomized: 146 to the toripalimab arm and 143 to the placebo arm. By May 30, 2020 as the interim analysis cutoff date, the median treatment duration was 39 weeks in the toripalimab arm and 36 weeks in the placebo arm. A significant improvement in PFS was detected for the toripalimab arm compared to the placebo arm (HR = 0.52 [95% CI: 0.36-0.74] two-sided p = 0.0003), with median PFS of 11.7 vs. 8.0 months. The 1-year PFS rates were 49% and 28% respectively. An improvement in PFS was observed across relevant subgroups, including all PD-L1 subgroups. The ORR was 77.4% vs. 66.4% (P = 0.033) and the median DOR was 10.0 vs. 5.7 months (HR = 0.50 [95% CI: 0.33-0.78]). As of Jan 15, 2021, OS was not mature, with 25 deaths in the toripalimab arm and 35 in the placebo arm (HR = 0.68 [95% CI: 0.41-1.14], P = 0.14). The incidence of Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) (89.0% vs 89.5%); AEs leading to discontinuation of toripalimab/placebo (7.5% vs 4.9%); and fatal AEs (2.7% vs 2.8%) were similar between two arms; however, immune-related (irAEs) (39.7% vs. 18.9%) and Grade ≥3 irAEs (7.5% vs. 0.7%) were more frequent in the toripalimab arm. Conclusions: The addition of toripalimab to GP chemotherapy as 1st-line treatment for pts with advanced NPC provided superior PFS and ORR and longer DOR than GP alone with a manageable safety profile. These results support the use of toripalimab with GP chemotherapy as the new standard care for this population. Clinical trial information: NCT03581786.
