TPS4137 Background: Nivolumab, a fully human IgG4 mAb that targets programmed death-1, alone and in combination with ipilimumab, a fully human IgG1 mAb that targets cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4, has demonstrated encouraging clinical activity in patients with advanced GC. These data support the rationale that nivolumab in combination with other IO agents or targeted therapies may improve treatment outcomes in patients with advanced GC. Given the rapid development of novel IO agents, traditional studies cannot efficiently evaluate all possible IO-IO and IO-targeted therapy combinations. FRACTION is an innovative clinical trial program with a rolling, adaptive platform design that allows for the addition of new combination regimens, as well as withdrawal of ineffective regimens. Here we describe the study concept, key design components, and the first IO treatment combinations of FRACTION-GC, a phase 2, randomized, open-label, adaptive study in advanced GC (NCT02935634). Methods: Patients with advanced GC or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer will be enrolled based on prior IO treatment and randomized to receive nivolumab plus BMS-986016 (fully human IgG4 mAb that targets lymphocyte activation gene 3) or nivolumab plus ipilimumab. Enrollment is continuous and may offer patients consecutive treatment options based on their treatment exposure and response. The primary endpoints are objective response rate, duration of response, and progression-free survival rate at 24 weeks. The secondary endpoint is safety. Comprehensive biomarker analyses will also be performed. New treatment combinations will be added over time to explore their potential benefits and to provide a continuous flow of treatment options for patients whose cancer progresses on existing treatments. In this way, FRACTION-GC is envisioned to accelerate the development of the next generation of IO combinations for patients with metastatic GC and GEJ cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT02935634.

278 Background: We report the primary analysis of JAVELIN Gastric 100, which compared avelumab (anti–PD-L1) maintenance after 1L CTx vs continued CTx in patients (pts) with GC/GEJC. Methods: In this global, open-label, phase 3 trial (NCT02625610), eligible pts had previously untreated, unresectable, locally advanced/metastatic (LA/M) HER2− GC/GEJC. Pts without progressive disease (PD) after 12 weeks of 1L oxaliplatin/fluoropyrimidine induction were randomized 1:1 to avelumab 10 mg/kg Q2W switch maintenance or continued CTx, stratified by region (Asia vs non-Asia). Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) post induction in all randomized or PD-L1+ (≥1% of tumor cells, 73-10 assay) pts. Results: 805 pts received induction CTx and 499 pts were randomized (avelumab, n = 249; CTx, n = 250). At data cutoff (Sep 13, 2019), minimum follow-up was 18 months. In the avelumab and CTx arms, median OS post induction/randomization was 10.4 months (95% CI 9.1-12.0) vs 10.9 months (95% CI 9.6-12.4), hazard ratio (HR) 0.91 (95% CI 0.74-1.11; p = 0.1779); 24-month OS rates were 22.1% (95% CI 16.8-28.0) vs 15.5% (95% CI 10.8-20.9), respectively. The HR for OS in PD-L1+ pts (n = 54) was 1.13 (95% CI 0.57-2.23). No OS trend was seen in Asian pts (n = 114; HR 0.90 [95% CI 0.59-1.36]) or other subgroups, except for a potential benefit with avelumab in pts with no metastatic sites at randomization (n = 60; HR 0.52 [95% CI 0.28-0.98]). Progression-free survival was similar between arms (HR 1.04 [95% CI 0.85-1.28]). In the avelumab vs CTx arms, objective response rates (post randomization only) were 13.3% (95% CI 9.3-18.1) vs 14.4% (95% CI 10.3-19.4), and 12-month rates for duration of response were 62.3% (95% CI 40.9-77.9) vs 28.4% (95% CI 13.2-45.7), respectively. Treatment-related adverse event rates (all grades/grade ≥3) were 61.3%/12.8% with avelumab and 77.3%/32.8% with CTx. Conclusions: Avelumab maintenance showed clinical activity and favorable safety vs continued CTx in pts with LA/M GE/GEJC; however, JAVELIN Gastric 100 did not meet its primary objective of demonstrating superior OS in the randomized or PD-L1+ population. Clinical trial information: NCT02625610.

11058 Background: Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma (STS) typically seen in young adults accounting for < 1% of all STS. While local disease may be indolent, ES can rapidly spread and patients (pts) with distant metastasis are often resistant to systemic treatment with 1 year survival of < 50%. The defining molecular feature of ES is the absence of tumor expression of INI1, a SWI/SNF subunit member involved in chromatin remodeling. Tazemetostat, a potent and selective EZH2 inhibitor, has demonstrated tumor regressions in INI1 negative preclinical malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) models and phase 1 clinical activity in MRT and ES pts. The proposed mechanism of tazemetostat sensitivity is INI1 loss inducing compromised SWI/SNF activity and tumor dependence on PRC2 activity (of which EZH2 is the catalytic subunit). Preliminary phase 2 safety and efficacy of tazemetostat in ES pts is reported here. Methods: This is a phase 2 multicenter open-label single arm study of tazemetostat (800 mg po BID) in adult pts with ES whose tumors harbor evidence of INI1 loss. Pts enroll into 1 of 5 cohorts of different tumor types with INI1 loss/reduction, up to 30 pts each, using a 2-stage Green-Dahlberg design. For the ES cohort, primary endpoint is disease control rate (DCR) defined as objective response of any duration or stable disease (SD) lasting ≥32 wks. Success at stage 2 required DCR in ≥5/30 treated pts. Key secondary endpoints include safety/tolerability, ORR, PFS, OS, PK and response biomarkers e.g. H3K27me3. Results: In 31 ES pts with a median of 1 prior systemic therapy, stage 2 DCR criteria was surpassed with a RECIST confirmed PR (4 pts) and SD ≥32 wks (2 pts) observed to date. 13 pts are still on treatment therefore DCR and ORR will be updated. Tazemetostat was well tolerated with grade 1/2 fatigue (39%), nausea (26%) and vomiting (19%) as the most frequently reported AEs regardless of attribution. Conclusions: In the largest prospective clinical trial of ES to date, tazemetostat monotherapy shows promising antitumor activity, including confirmed responses and long-term SD, with favorable safety/tolerability in ES. Enrollment has been expanded to 60 ES pts given the clinical activity described here. Clinical trial information: NCT02601950.

5504 Background: Treatment options for cervical, vaginal, and vulvar (GYN) cancers are limited after first-line therapy. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is associated with squamous cell carcinomas of the cervix (≥90%) and vulva/vagina (40–70%), and may elicit an immune reaction. Programmed death (PD)-1 and its major ligand PD-L1 are expressed in GYN cancers and inhibit immune responses. Nivolumab disrupts PD-1–mediated signaling, restoring antitumor immunity. Methods: In CheckMate 358 (NCT02488759), an ongoing multicohort study of 5 virus-associated cancers, PD-L1–unselected adults with R/M GYN cancers, ECOG PS 0–1, and ≤2 prior systemic therapies for R/M disease were eligible to receive nivolumab 240 mg every 2 weeks until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and safety; secondary endpoints were duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: Of 24 treated patients (pts), 19 had cervical and 5 had vaginal or vulvar cancer; median age was 51 y. At a median follow-up of 31 wks (range: 6–38), ORR was 20.8% (Table), and disease control rate (ORR + SD) was 70.8%. All responses were in pts with cervical cancer (ORR, 26.3%) and were observed regardless of PD-L1 or HPV status or number of prior R/M therapies. Median PFS was 5.5 mo (95% CI: 3.5, NR); median OS was NR. Conclusions: Nivolumab demonstrated encouraging clinical activity in pts with cervical cancer and a manageable safety profile in virus-associated GYN cancers, supporting further evaluation in these pts. Updated clinical and biomarker data to be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT02488759. [Table: see text]

TPS213 Background: The combination ofoxaliplatin and fluoropyrimidine is a standard-of-care (SOC) first-line treatment of pts with metastatic G/GEJ cancer, resulting in a median overall survival (OS) of 8–11 months and objective response rate (ORR) of 30%–50%. This is accompanied by up to 77% grade 3/4 toxicities. Therefore, new treatment options are needed to improve survival and decrease toxicity in G/GEJ cancer. Nivo, a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets programmed death 1 (PD-1) and ipi, a fully human IgG1 mAb that targets cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated protein 4, have demonstrated manageable safety profiles and efficacy in multiple tumor types and may have a synergistic effect. In a phase 1/2 study in chemotherapy-refractory pts with G/GEJ/esophageal cancer with or without PD-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, second-line nivo 1 mg/kg + ipi 3 mg/kg demonstrated a manageable safety profile and resulted in 26% ORR (44% ORR in pts with PD-L1+ tumors), median OS of 6.9 months, and a 34% OS rate at 12 months (Janjigian Y, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2016;34[suppl][abstract 4010]). This open-label, phase 3 trial will evaluate nivo + ipi as first-line therapy for pts with G/GEJ cancer (CheckMate 649; NCT02872116). Methods: In this study, 870 pts aged ≥ 18 years with untreated advanced or metastatic G/GEJ cancer with or without PD-L1 expression will be randomized to receive nivo + ipi (4 doses; followed by nivo monotherapy) or investigator’s choice of capecitabine/oxaliplatin (XELOX) or fluorouracil/leucovorin/oxaliplatin (FOLFOX). Tumor tissue for determination of PD-L1 status must be provided from ≤ 6 months before study treatment. Pts receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy for G/GEJ cancer within the last 6 months or pts with suspected autoimmune disease, uncontrolled medical disorder, or active infection are excluded. Primary endpoint is OS in pts with PD-L1+ tumors. Secondary endpoints include OS in all pts and progression-free survival and time to symptom deterioration in all pts and pts with PD-L1+ tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT02872116.

6 Background: Patients (pts) with GC/GEC often present with A/M disease, which has a poor prognosis, with 1-year survival < 30%, and few treatment options. Nivolumab is a fully human anti-PD-1 IgG4 monoclonal antibody with a favorable safety profile and efficacy in melanoma, non–small-cell lung cancer, and renal cell carcinoma. The phase I/II, open-label CheckMate-032 study evaluated nivolumab ± ipilimumab in pts with solid tumors. Here, we report initial results for pts with GEC/GC receiving nivolumab monotherapy. Methods: Pts with A/M histologically confirmed GC/GEC, irrespective of PD-L1 status, were assigned to receive nivolumab alone (3 mg/kg IV Q2W) and treated until disease progression (PD) or intolerable toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR); other endpoints included safety, progression-free survival, overall survival (OS), and biomarker status. Results: 59 pts were enrolled and treated with single-agent nivolumab. Median age was 60 y (range 29–80), and 83% of pts received ≥ 2 prior regimens. At database lock, 10 pts were on active treatment; 49 pts discontinued (PD, n = 40; unrelated adverse events, n = 4; treatment-related adverse events [TRAEs], n = 2; other, n = 3). Pts received a median of 4 doses (range 1–25). ORR was 12% (n = 7/58; 1 complete response, 6 partial responses); 12 pts (21%) had stable disease. Among responders, median duration of response was 7.1 mo (95% CI, 3.0–13.2). Median OS was 6.8 mo (95% CI, 3.3–12.4); 12-mo OS rate was 38% (95% CI, 23.2–52.7). 39% of tumor samples were PD-L1 positive ( ≥ 1% cutoff). ORRs in pts with PD-L1-positive and -negative tumors were 18% and 12%, respectively. TRAEs occurred in 66% of pts; most were Grade 1/2. Grade 3/4 TRAEs occurred in 14% of pts and included pneumonitis, fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting, hypothyroidism, and increased aspartate and alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase levels. No treatment-related deaths occurred. Conclusions: Nivolumab monotherapy was well tolerated and demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity in heavily pretreated pts with GC/GEC. Objective responses occurred in pts with PD-L1-positive and -negative tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT01928394.

6025 Background: Treatment options for patients (pts) with R/M NPC are limited to palliative chemotherapy. NPC is often associated with the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), a potential antigen for immune recognition, and high expression levels of the immune checkpoint receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its major ligand PD-L1. Nivolumab disrupts PD-1–mediated signaling, restoring T-cell antitumor function. Methods: In CheckMate 358 (NCT02488759), PD-L1–unselected adults with R/M NPC, ECOG PS of 0–1, and ≤2 prior systemic therapies in the R/M setting were eligible to receive nivolumab 240 mg every 2 weeks until progression or unacceptable toxicity, as part of an ongoing multicohort study of 5 virus-associated cancers. Human papillomavirus-associated NPC and keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (WHO Type 1) were excluded. Primary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and safety; secondary endpoints were duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: Of 24 treated pts with R/M NPC, median age was 51 years, 88% were male, 62% were white, 88% were European, and 88% had EBV+ tumors. At a median follow-up of 26 weeks (range: 4–40), ORR was 20.8% and appeared to be higher in pts with no prior R/M therapy (Table). The disease control rate (ORR + SD) was 45.8%. Responses were observed regardless of PD-L1 or EBV status. Median PFS was 2.4 mo (95% CI: 1.5, NR); median OS was NR. Conclusions: Nivolumab demonstrated clinical activity and a manageable safety profile in R/M NPC, supporting ongoing research with nivolumab in this disease. Updated efficacy and biomarker data will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT02488759. [Table: see text]

TPS200 Background: CRS-207 is a live, attenuated, double-deleted Listeria monocytogenes (LADD) strain with a mesothelin expression cassette inserted. CRS-207 has a well-established, manageable toxicity profile and can elicit mesothelin-specific cell-mediated immunity. Clinical activity of CRS-207 has been shown in a separate Phase 1 trial of mesothelioma. In gastroesophageal (GE) cancers, mesothelin expression is estimated between 30% – 50% and has been correlated with poor prognosis. Preclinical models suggest the combination of LADD-based immunotherapeutics and a PD1 inhibitor may induce more sustained anti-tumor responses than either LADD or PD1 inhibitor monotherapy. GE cancers are responsive to PD1 inhibitors in a subset of patients; this trial proposes to evaluate the efficacy of CRS-207 combined with pembrolizumab in patients with relapsed GE cancer, and to correlate clinical activity with mesothelin expression level. Methods: This Phase 2, open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical study (NCT 03122548) will enroll approximately 79 subjects at 20 sites. Adults with histologically-confirmed, advanced gastric, GEJ, or esophageal adenocarcinomas are eligible. Subjects must have received 1 or 2 prior treatment regimens, which must have included a platinum and a fluoropyrimidine. Subjects must have disease progression with measurable tumors. A pre-treatment biopsy of either the primary tumor or metastatic site is required prior to dosing. Subjects with prior exposure to checkpoint inhibitors or other immunotherapies are excluded. From cycle 1 to 4 during the treatment and evaluation period, pembrolizumab (IV 200 mg) and CRS-207 (IV 1 x 109 CFU) are both administered in 3-week cycles. Afterward, pembrolizumab will be administered once every 3 weeks; CRS-207 will be given once every 6 weeks. CT scans will be performed every 6 weeks to monitor disease status. The primary endpoint is objective response rate defined by RECIST 1.1. Clinical trial information: NCT03122548.

354 Background: Patients (pts) with mUC who progress after platinum (PLT)-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy have poor outcomes and limited treatment options. Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) is a novel antibody-drug conjugate. It consists of a monoclonal antibody targeting Trop-2, an epithelial cell surface antigen overexpressed in UC, conjugated to the active metabolite of irinotecan (SN38). Methods: We performed a phase I/II basket study in pts with advanced solid tumors receiving intravenous SG administered on day 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles, until progression or unacceptable toxicity. CT/MRI scans were obtained at 8-week intervals for response assessment. We evaluated pts with mUC who progressed after ≥1 prior systemic therapy and were treated with SG at the 10 mg/kg dose level. Endpoints included safety, objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST 1.1, clinical benefit rate (CBR; complete response [CR], partial response [PR], or else SD ≥6-mo), and Kaplan-Meier estimated duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: 45 pts (41M/4F; median age 67, range 49-90; ECOG 0/1: 31%/69%) received a median of 2 (range: 1-6) prior treatment lines, including PLT-based chemotherapy (95%) and CPI (38%). 33 had visceral metastases involving liver (n=15), lung (n=27), and other organs (n=5). The ORR was 31% (14/45), with 2 CR and 12 PR. In pts with visceral involvement, the ORR was 27% (9/33). The ORR in CPI-treated pts was 23% (4/17). The median DOR was 12.6 mo (2 pts continuing >2 y), and the CBR was 47% (21/45). Median PFS and OS were 7.3 mo and 18.9 mo, respectively. The AE profile was consistent with prior reports. Grade ≥3 AEs in ≥5% of pts were neutropenia/neutrophil count decreased (38%), anemia (11%), hypophosphatemia (11%), diarrhea (9%), fatigue (9%), and febrile neutropenia (7%). Conclusions: SG demonstrated clinical activity in pts with relapsed/refractory mUC, including CPI-treated pts and pts with visceral disease. A single-arm, open-label, global phase 2 trial is underway to evaluate antitumor activity and safety of SG in advanced UC.(TROPHY-U-01; NCT03547973). Clinical trial information: NCT03547973.

4117 Background: Patients (pts) with advanced CCA who progressed on or after first line chemotherapy have no approved treatment options. Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) gene alterations are observed in many tumor types including 14-17% in CCA. Erdafitinib, an orally bioavailable, selective pan-FGFR kinase inhibitor, has shown clinical activity against solid tumors with FGFR alterations. Methods: LUC2001 is an open-label, multicenter, Ph2a study in advanced CCA pts with FGFR alterations (FoundationOne), who progressed after ≥ 1 prior treatment. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR; RECIST 1.1). The secondary endpoints are disease control rate (DCR), progression free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), safety and pharmacokinetics (PK). Disease is evaluated every 8 weeks until disease progression (PD). Results: As of 3 Dec 2018, 222 CCA pts were molecularly screened; 34 had FGFR alterations, of whom 14 (8 FGFR2 fusion, 3 FGFR2 mutation, 1 FGFR3 fusion, 2 FGFR3 mutation) were dosed 8 mg once daily with up titration option. Median age was 51.5 years. 13/14 and 12/14 pts had prior platinum or gemcitabine based therapy respectively, 7/14 pts got re-treated with platinum or gemcitabine based therapy, and 9/14 pts had ≥2 prior lines of therapy. Median number of treatment cycles was 5.0 (range: 1; 22) and treatment duration was 4.83 (range: 0.5; 20.3) months. In 12 evaluable pts, there were 6 confirmed partial response (PR), 4 stable disease (SD) and 2 PD; ORR (CR+PR) was 6/12 (50.0%), DCR (CR+PR+uCR+uPR+SD) was 10/12 (83.3%); median DOR was 6.83 months (95% CI: 3.65; 12.16); median PFS was 5.59 months (95% CI: 1.87, 13.67). In 10 evaluable FGFR2+ pts, ORR was 6/10 (60.0%); DCR was 10/10(100%); median PFS was 12.35 months (95% CI: 3.15, 19.38). The most common TEAEs ( > 30%) were hyperphosphatemia, dry mouth, stomatitis, and dry skin. 9 pts had ≥ Grade 3 AEs (8 Grade 3,1 Grade 5), of which 7 drug related. TEAE led to treatment 1 discontinuation, 6 dose reductions and 1 death (not drug related). The results of PK and PK/PD relationship were consistent with other erdafitinib studies in different ethnic background pts. Conclusions: Asian advanced CCA pts with FGFR alterations treated with erdafitinib had encouraging efficacy and acceptable safety profile similar to experience in other tumor types and populations. Clinical trial information: NCT02699606.

698 Background: Survival statistics for mPDA are dismal and with limited treatment options novel agents are needed to improve disease outcomes. PBI-05204 (Phoenix Biotechnology, Inc., San Antonio, TX) is a modified supercritical carbon dioxide extract of Nerium oleander leaves. Oleandrin, the extract’s major cytotoxic component, has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in various tumor cell lines. In a human PDA orthotopic model, this preparation reduced tumor burden as monotherapy. Pharmacodynamic studies suggest that PBI-05204’s mechanism of action is through inhibition of the PI3k/Akt/mTOR pathway. Methods: A phase II single-arm, open-label study to determine the efficacy of PBI-05204 in patients (pts) with mPDA refractory to standard therapy was conducted. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) with the hypothesis that 50% of pts would be alive at 4.5 months. Secondary objectives included safety, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall response rate. Pts received oral PBI-05204 daily until progressive disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity, or pt withdrawal. Radiographic response was assessed every two cycles. Results: Forty-one pts were enrolled; two never received treatment and one was found to have a neuroendocrine tumor after pathological re-evaluation, leaving 38 pts for analysis. Median age at time of enrollment was 65.0 years. The median time from initial diagnosis to treatment was 16.9 months. The primary reason for withdrawal was PD (45.2%). Ten pts were alive at 4.5 months (26.3%) with a mPFS of 56 days (corresponding to first restaging). One objective response (2.6%) was observed for 162 days. Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 63.2% of pts with the most common attributed to drug (all grades) being fatigue (36.8%), vomiting (23.7%), nausea (18.4%), decreased appetite (18.4%), and diarrhea (15.8%). Conclusions: PBI-05204 did not meet its primary endpoint for OS in this study. Recent preclinical data indicate an efficacious role for PBI-05204 against glioblastoma multiforme when combined with chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, and radiotherapy. A randomized Phase II trial is currently being designed. Clinical trial information: NCT02329717.
