e20564 Background: Nivolumab, was the first checkpoint inhibitor to show a survival benefit in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC in two randomized trials (CheckMate 017 and 057). Experience in routine clinical practice may differ from that seen in a controlled clinical trial. This is an observational study that represents the real-world experience. Methods: Elegibility criteria included, histologically confirmed NSCLC stage IIIB vs IV, evaluable disease and at least one prior therapy. Patients received nivolumab 3 mg/kg IV (60 min) every 2 weeks until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. The aim of the study was to report the efficacy and safety profile of Nivolumab in pretreated patients with advanced NSCLC of our everyday clinical practice. The exploratory assessments include response rate (RR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and treatment related adverse events (AEs). Results: From August 2015 to January 2017, with a median follow time of 18 months, 188 patients were enrolled from 9 different centers. Patients demographics were: median age 62 years, 44 female and 144 male; 17 never smoker and 171 former or current smoker; 105 adenocarcinoma, 7 large-cell carcinoma, 66 squamous, 3 adenosquamous and 7 NSCLC; 61 stage IIIB and 129 stage IV; 42 with central nervous system metastasis; and 70 received 2 or more prior therapy lines. Among 156 patients evaluated, 1,3% had CR, 28,2% PR, 29,7% SD and 40,8% PD. At the time of database lock, the median of PFS was 2.9 IC 95% (2,3-3.4) and OS was 12,8 IC 95% (9,2-16,4). The evaluation of PFS and OS by baseline characteristics doesn´t revealed statistical significance. Grade 1-2 treatment related adverse events (AEs) occurred in 58% of the patients: asthenia (22%), rash (14%), diarrhea (8%), anorexia (7%), endocrine (6%) and neumonitis (1,5%). Grade 3-4 AEs occurred in 5 patients; (3) diarrhea and (2) neumonitis and there were 3 treatment-related deaths. Conclusions: This study represents the real-word experience with nivolumab and the results are consistent with those previously reported in the CheckMate 017 and 057 trials.

BackgroundEffective options are limited for patients with non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease progresses after first-line chemotherapy. Camrelizumab is a potent anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody and has shown promising activity in NSCLC. We assessed the activity and safety of camrelizumab for patients with previously treated, advanced NSCLC patients with negative oncogenic drivers.MethodsPatients who progressed during or following platinum-based doublet chemotherapy were enrolled. All patients received camrelizumab(200 mg)every 3 weeks or in combination with chemotherapy until loss of clinical benefit. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), other endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS) and safety.ResultsBetween Aug 5, 2019, and Jun 19, 2020, we enrolled 29 patients, 25 patients were available evaluated, ORR and DCR was 36% (9/25) and 92% (23/25), respectively. 25 of 29 patients were still receiving the treatment, the median PFS was not yet achieved. Compared with those without reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation (RCCEP), patients with RCCEP had higher ORR (60% vs. 28.6%). Treatment-related adverse events (AEs) occurred in 69.0% of patients (all Grade), and the most common were RCCEP (37.9%), pneumonitis (6.9%), and chest congestion (6.9%). Treatment-related grade 3 to 4 adverse events occurred in 10.3% of patients.ConclusionsIn patients with previously treated advanced NSCLC, camrelizumab demonstrated improved ORR and DCR, compared with historical data of the 2nd line chemotherapy, with a manageable safety profile. While patients with RCCEP derived greater benefit from camrelizumab. Further studies are needed in large sample size trials.

Abstract Background: PDL-1 inhibitors have emerged as the new standard of care for second line treatment of NSCLC. Methods: Eligible patients included, histologically proven NSCLC, ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status of 0, 1 or 2, age 18 years and above, availability of pre-treatment tumor specimen, adequate end organ function, at least one prior platinum-based therapy. Patients who received a minimum of 6 doses of nivolumab were eligible. Results: Eleven previously treated patients with chemotherapy, started on nivolumab from April of 2016 to December of 2018, were retrospectively studied and analysed. The median age of patients was 58 years. Eight (72.73%) of the eleven patients were male. Seven (63.64%) of the patients were current or former smokers. Majority of patients had non-squamous histology; seven (63.64%) adenocarcinoma and four (36.36%) squamous cell carcinoma. 5 (45.46%) of the patients received one prior therapy, three (27.27%) received two prior therapies, and three (27.27%) received three prior therapies. Four (36.36%) of the patients had brain metastasis. Two (18.18%) of the patients were more than 70 years of age. Median number of cycles of nivolumab administered were 10 (range, 6 to 21). At the time of analysis, the median PFS was 8 months (95% CI, 1.52-14.47) and median OS was 15 months (95% CI, 6.9-23.09). Treatment was well tolerated and generally side effects were grade 1 and grade 2, except two patients who develop grade 3/4 pneumonitis. Conclusions: This is a real-world study of eleven previously treated patients with chemotherapy, started on Nivolumab from April of 2016 to December of 2018. Although, our sample size was small, our data supports the use of nivolumab as a new treatment option for patients of stage 4 NSCLC.

ObjectiveTo assess the real-world effectiveness and safety of single injection of a fluocinolone acetonide (FAc) implant in previously treated patients with recurrent diabetic macular oedema (DMO) over a 36-month follow-up period.Methods and AnalysisThis is a retrospective study conducted at a single ophthalmology department at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, UK. Data were collected using electronic medical records to identify all patients treated with a FAc implant for DMO between March 2014 and November 2014, followed with a 36-month clinic follow-up. Outcomes measured included mean change in best-recorded visual acuity (BRVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) over the period of 36 months, treatment burden pre-implant and post-implant, and functional and anatomical responder rates.ResultsTwenty-six eyes (n=22 patients) were treated with single intravitreal FAc implant followed with 36 months of follow-up. At 24 and 36 months, 86.4% and 75.0% of patients maintained or gained vision post-FAc implant in routine clinical practice. The mean BRVA increased from 41.8 to 54.6 letters at month 24 and 45.8 letters at month 36, with 50.0% and 33.3% of patients achieving a ≥15 letter improvement at months 24 and 36, respectively. The mean CMT reduced from 600.8 µm at baseline to 351.0 µm and 392.5 µm at months 24 and 36, respectively. Overall, a mean of one treatment every 13.33 months post-FAc implant (vs 3.24 months pre-FAc implant) was reported. Eleven eyes had an increased intraocular pressure of ≥10 mm Hg and 12 eyes had an increase to ≥25 mm Hg from baseline.ConclusionThese results further support the effectiveness and safety of FAc implant in previously treated patients with persistent or recurrent DMO in a real-world clinical practice.

e20683 Background: Nivolumab (Nivo) has demonstrated with its efficacy against metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it has been also reported that Nivo does not show beneficial effects in approximately 80% of patients. The predictive ability of biomarkers still is yet unclear; thus identifying biomarkers which better predict overall survival (OS) of such patients treated with Nivo is crucial. In this study, we conducted multivariable cox regression analysis including biomarkers and clinical factors measured at the time of initiating treatment with Nivo to assess predictive ability of OS of patients. Results of the multivariable analysis were elucidated with a nomogram which estimates the OS of Nivo in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods: In this study, data for 201 patients treated with nivolumab during 17 December 2015 to 31 July 2016 at three respiratory medical centers in Japan were retrospectively reviewed. We collected clinical data at the time of nivolumab treatment commencement, and we evaluated two programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay systems (22C3 and 28-8). Results: The median age at the time of administration nivolumab was 68 years, 135 patients were male, 157 patients had a smoking history, and 152 patients had a performance status (PS) score of 0–1. 39 patients had EGFR (37) or ALK (2) mutation positive. For 22C3 and 28-8, 36.3% and 36.8% of patients were negative, 17.4% and 14.4% had PD-L1 status of 1-49%, and 11.9% and 14.9% had PD-L1 status of ≥50%, 34.3% and 33.8% had PD-L1 status of missing, respectively. Kendall’s rank correlation coefficient between 22C3 and 28-8 was 0.8414. The median OS of all patients was 333 (95% confidence interval (CI): 116-520) days. In the multivariate analysis, PS score ≥2 (hazard ratio (HR): 2.23; 95%CI: 1.36-3.66 p < 0.001), high LDH level at baseline (HR: 1.13 95%CI: 1.03-1.24; p = 0.008, and progression disease (PD) of pre-treatment response (HR: 3.64 95%CI: 2.29-5.79 p < 0.001) were significantly associated with poor OS. There was not significant distance between PD-L1 status and OS of Nivo. Based on these analyses, we created the nomogram to estimate the OS of Nivo in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC. Conclusions: PS score ≥2, high LDH levels at baseline, and PD of pre-treatment response were predictive of poor OS of Nivo, moreover the nomogram might be useful to estimate the OS of Nivo in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC.

Abstract Objective: Ramucirumab plus docetaxel therapy (RAM/DOC) is currently the standard for previously treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), irrespective of histology. However, the safety data of anti-angiogenic agents for squamous cell NSCLC (Sq) is lacking, with a higher reported rate of severe hemoptysis in a clinical trial setting. We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study to confirm the efficacy and safety of RAM/DOC for Sq in real-world settings.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC who underwent RAM/DOC at four institutions. Clinical data on the initiation of RAM/DOC were collected from medical records. Treatment outcomes of RAM/DOC were assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Incidence of pulmonary hemorrhage was assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.Results: Overall, 237 patients with NSCLC were included and 38 (16%) had squamous cell carcinoma. There were no significant differences in median progression-free survival and overall survival between Sq and non-Sq patients (5.8 months vs. 4.3 months, P=0.0937; 15.2 months vs. 13.4 months, P=0.714, respectively). Of all patients, 13 (5%) developed pulmonary hemorrhage. According to histology, there was no significant difference in pulmonary hemorrhage proportion between Sq and non-Sq cohorts (2/38 vs. 11/199, respectively, P=0.947).Conclusion: For previously treated patients with Sq, efficacy and safety data of RAM/DOC were confirmed in a real-world setting and were similar to non-Sq. Ramucirumab is the only vascular endothelial growth factor-blocker available for Sq.

Background and Rationale: BAY 94-9027 (damoctocog alfa pegol) is a site-specifically PEGylated B-domain deleted recombinant factor VIII (FVIII) with an extended half-life, approved for prophylaxis or treatment of bleeds in previously treated patients (PTPs) aged ≥12 with hemophilia A. The efficacy and safety of BAY 94-9027 was demonstrated in two phase II/III clinical studies in PTPs with severe hemophilia A, however, real-world data are still being gathered. The aim of the HEM-POWR study is to assess the effectiveness and long-term safety of BAY 94-9027 in the real-world clinical setting. Patients will be introduced to an online patient portal that provides study information as well as access to eDiaries and electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) to patients to facilitate retention over the duration of the study. Patients will also be given the opportunity to participate in LIFE-ACTIVE, a sub-study analyzing the relationship between the patients' regular daily activity and the efficacy parameters collected during HEM-POWR. Here we present the features of the patient portal and describe the LIFE-ACTIVE sub-study design. Study Design and Methods: HEM-POWR (NCT03932201) is a multinational, multicenter, non-interventional, open-label, prospective, phase IV, cohort study. It aims to enroll ≥200 PTPs with hemophilia A receiving BAY 94-9027 (on-demand, prophylaxis, or intermittent prophylaxis [as per local label]). Key exclusion criteria are presence or history of FVIII inhibitor (≥0.6 Bethesda units), diagnosis of any bleeding or coagulation disorder other than hemophilia A, or treatment with immune tolerance induction at enrollment. The primary objective of HEM-POWR is to assess the effectiveness of prophylaxis with BAY 94-9027 in the real-world setting through the collection of total bleeding events and analysis of annualized bleeding rate. Secondary objectives include long-term safety, joint health, location and number of target joints, hemostasis during surgery and PROs. Patient enrollment, adherence and retention can be difficult in observational hemophilia studies. The patient portal for this study aims to overcome these challenges by providing study- and product-related information. It also aims to lessen the burden for patients in the study by providing e-solutions to collect their study data, including the ability to complete the study diary, and PRO measures online. The portal also includes videos explaining the study and study procedures, and is country-customized with links to relevant websites. Patients participating in LIFE-ACTIVE will be asked to wear an ActiGraph CP Insight activity-tracking smart watch continually for four 30-day periods, at their initial visit and then at months 12, 24 and 36. Measurements recorded will include physical activity intensity and duration, general mobility, and sleep quality and duration. All data will be transferred to a secure, cloud-based system and patients will not be aware of the values measured by the device. Participating countries include, but may not be limited to Austria, Belgium/Luxemburg, Canada, Colombia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, and USA. The study will run from 2019 until 2025, with an observation period of ≥60 months.

18120 Background: Paclitaxel is an active drug for NSCLC. Our purpose was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of biweekly administration of this drug in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods: Patients with stage IIIB and IV NSCLC, which progressed after or during first-line chemotherapy, measurable disease, ECOG PS=0–1 and adequate organ function were included. Paclitaxel was administered at 150 mg/m2 iv, days 1 and 14, every 28 days, for a maximum of six cycles. Both, toxicity and efficacy analyses, were performed on the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. Results: Between September 2004 and November 2006, 42 patients (M/F, 39/3) were included, with median age 64 years (39–79). Tumor histology mainly included epidermoid (40.5%) and adenocarcinoma (35.7%). Tumor stage was IIIB (23.8%) and IV (76.2%). Median number of metastatic lesions was 1 (55%), located mainly in lymph nodes (30%), lung (25%), adrenal glands (16%) and bone (11%). Previous chemotherapy included platinum (76.1%), docetaxel (66.6%) and gemcitabine (52.4%). A total of 167 cycles (median 4, range 1–6) were administered. Median relative dose intensity was 94%. Toxicity: Grade III/IV hematologic toxicities per patient were neutropenia (2.5%) and anemia (2.5%). Grade III/IV non-hematologic toxicities were asthenia (2.5%), arthralgias/myalgias (2.5%) and peripheral neuropathy (2.5%). Efficacy: Of 39 ITT patients (3 patients have just begun chemotherapy), 7 achieved PR, 11 SD and 16 progressed, resulting in an ORR of 17.95% (95% CI: 5.9–30%). Five patients could not be evaluated for response due to early withdrawal (4 tumor-related exitus and 1 PS deterioration). Median TTP and OS were 174 days (95% CI: 115.52–232.48) and 332 days (95% CI: 261.18–402.82), respectively. Conclusions: Biweekly paclitaxel is an active and very well tolerated regimen in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e20543 Background: Immunotherapy has shown promising results for clinical management of various cancers. We reported our real world experience with PD-1 or PD-L1 immunotherapy in management of advanced lung cancer patients in China. Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study based on the de-identified electronic medical data collected in routine clinical practice. A total of 198 advanced lung cancer (stage IIIA-IV) patients who underwent anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy at Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital between 2015 and 2018 were included. Progression free survival and overall survival of patients were estimated by Kaplan-Meier methods. The treatment-related adverse events were also analyzed. Results: Median age of patients was 60.0 years (33.0-88.0 years). Most patients were male (150, 75.8%), smokers (116, 61.7%) and had a KPS score ≥70 (169, 97.7%). Of 198 patients, 106 (53.5%) had adenocarcinoma and 54 (17.3%) had squamous cell carcinoma. Thirty-one (15.7%) patients had CNS metastases. Seventy-one (38.8%) patients received two or more prior therapies. Estimated progression free survival was 5.6 months and overall survival was 24.5 months. One-hundred twenty-seven (64.1%) patients had documented to suffer adverse events, most commonly gastrointestinal adverse events and liver damage (Table). Conclusions: Our study showed survival benefits of PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients in clinical practice. Safety profile was comparable to the previous studies. Our study supports the benefits of PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy in clinical management of advanced lung cancer patients. [Table: see text]
