617 Background: There is limited, often conflicting evidence about AE timing, severity or associations with outcomes with the use of cytotoxic agents in cancer treatment. We investigated the impact on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of selected common AEs (neutropenia, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, neuropathy) occurring in patients receiving first line oxaliplatin (Oxa)- and/or irinotecan(Iri)-based regimens for mCRC. Methods: The CTCAE grading scores of at least one AE of interest were available on 9812 pts treated with chemotherapy alone (median age 63; 62.4% male, 50.1% ECOG PS 0) from 17 1st-line randomized trials. Patients who also received biologics were excluded in the primary analyses. AEs occurring during the first 6 weeks of treatment and entire treatment were analyzed by stratified multivariable Cox models in relationship to OS/PFS. 55.7% pts received Oxa- regimens, 35.7% Iri-regimens, and 8.6% combined Oxa- and Iri-regimens. Results: Within the first 6 weeks of treatment, G3+ neutropenia (HRadj= 1.3, 95% CI, 1.06-1.59, padj 0.01), diarrhea (HRadj= 1.48, 95% CI, 1.23-1.79, padj < .0001), nausea (HRadj= 1.53, 95% CI, 1.17-1.99, padj 0.002) and vomiting (HRadj= 1.56, 95% CI, 1.18-2.07, padj 0.002) were associated with significantly worse OS for Iri-regimens, but only G3+ nausea predicted for worse OS for Oxa- regimens (HRadj= 1.61, 95% CI, 1.18-2.21, padj 0.003). For AEs experienced at any time, G3+ neutropenia and neuropathy were significantly associated with longer PFS and OS for Oxa-regimens, while G3+ vomiting and nausea were associated with worse OS for both Oxa- and Iri-based regimens. Sensitivity analysis showed largely concordant results by including pts who also received biologics. Conclusions: The association between more severe selected AEs and outcome varies between AEs and is influenced by timing of the occurrence. More severe selected AEs occurring early in treatment are associated with worse outcomes. In contrast, for AEs occurring at any time, G3+ neutropenia and neuropathy predicted for longer PFS and/or OS in Oxa-treated pts.

656 Background: Patients (pts) with peritoneal metastases from CRC (pmCRC) have reduced OS compared to mCRC pts without peritoneal involvement. Here we further investigated the impact of number and location of metastases among pts receiving first-line systemic chemotherapy. Methods: Individual patient data were available on 9,265 pts (median age 64; 63% male; 93% ECOG PS 0-1; 68% colon primary tumor; brain metastases excluded) enrolled onto 12 first-line randomized trials (4 tested targeted regimens). Stratified multivariable Cox models were used to assess the associations with overall survival (OS); adjusted hazard ratios (HRadj) and 95% confidence intervals are reported (CI). Results: There were 7,963 (86%) pts with non-pmCRC (3,904 with one disease site; 4,059 with ≥2 disease sites), 191 (2%) pts with isolated pmCRC, and 1,111 (12%) non-isolated pmCRC. These groups were similar in age, race, and use of targeted chemotherapy. Compared to non-pmCRC, pts with pmCRC were more likely to be female (41% vs. 36%, p<.001), have colon primary tumors (85% vs. 67%, p<.0001), and have PS2 (10% vs. 6%, p<.0001). Compared to isolated pmCRC, pts with solitary non-peritoneal sites (both M1a) had significantly better OS (HRadj=0.78; CI, 0.64-0.94, p=.009) while pts with ≥2 non-peritoneal sites had similar OS (HRadj=1.06; CI 0.88-1.28, p=.535). OS of pts with pmCRC with a single other disease site (n=446) was similar to isolated pmCRC (HRadj=1.13; CI 0.91-1.40, p=.28), but those with pmCRC + ≥2 additional disease sites (n=665) had shortest survival (HRadj=1.44; CI 1.17-1.77, p<.001). A combination of peritoneal and liver metastases (n=821; HRadj=1.37, CI 1.12-1.67, p=.002) was associated with poorer survival compared with isolated pmCRC; but combination with extrahepatic sites (n=290; HRadj=1.15, CI 0.91-1.45, p=.25) was not. Conclusions: pmCRC pts have significantly worse survival than those with other solitary site mCRC. Among those with multiple disease sites, poorer survival is a function of increased number of metastatic sites and peritoneal involvement, which indicates prognostic heterogeneities among M1b pts.

3582 Background: The prognostic importance of the incidence, severity, type and duration of AEs pts experience during chemotherapy varies between tumor types, and the available evidence across the board is often conflicting. Here we investigated the impact of the overall severity of AEs among pts with mCRC receiving first-line oxaliplatin (Oxa)- and/or irinotecan(Iri)-based regimens. Methods: The overall severity of AE data (i.e., max grade (G) of all AEs) were available on 3,971 pts (median age 61; 60% male, 47% ECOG PS 1+; 57% 2+ metastatic sites) enrolled onto 6 1st-line randomized trials. Around 46%, 45%, and 9% of pts had received Oxa-, Iri-, and Oxa+Iri-based regimens, respectively. Pts receiving biologic agents were excluded. Stratified multivariate Cox models were used to assess the associations with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS); adjusted hazard ratios (HRadj) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are reported. Results: Pts who only received Oxa-based treatment reported the lowest rate of G3+ AEs (p < .0001) compared to pts treated with Iri- or Oxa+Iri-based regimens. Older age, female gender, and PS 1 or 2+ were associated with higher grade AEs (all p < .0001). Considering AEs experienced within 6w after randomization, 10% and 61% of pts experienced G4+ and G2-3 AEs, respectively. G3+ AEs were associated with a shorter OS for both pts receiving Oxa- (HRadj= 1.2, 95% CI, 1.1-1.3, padj < .0001) and Iri-based regimens (HRadj= 1.4, 95% CI, 1.2-1.5, padj < .0001). For the entire treatment course, 19% and 72% of pts experienced G4+ and G2-3 AEs, respectively. For Oxa-based regimens, pts with G3+ AEs had a longer OS (HRadj= 0.86, 95% CI, 0.78-0.94, padj = .0016), whereas G3+ AEs were associated with a shorter OS (HRadj= 1.2, 95% CI, 1.1-1.4, padj = .0004) for pts treated with Iri-based regimens. Similar patterns were seen for PFS. Conclusions: Pts who reported higher grade AEs during initial treatment (≤6w) have significantly worse outcome than those who do not. Further analyses with treatment exposure/detailed dose-AE profile and its impact on survival are warranted.

5024 Background: SPARTAN, a randomized phase 3 placebo (PBO)-controlled study in pts with high-risk nmCRPC and PSA doubling time ≤ 10 mo, showed that, compared with PBO, addition of APA to ongoing ADT treatment (tx) prolonged metastasis-free survival (MFS) by > 2 y, reduced the risk of symptomatic progression by 55%, and increased second progression-free survival (PFS2), which is the time from randomization to disease progression on first subsequent anticancer tx, or death. The impact of APA in terms of benefit and safety profile was evaluated in pts aged < 65, 65-74, and ≥ 75 y. Methods: Pts with nmCRPC were randomized 2:1 to APA (240 mg QD) or PBO; ADT was continuous. APA effect was analyzed by Cox models and Kaplan-Meier methods across age subgroups. Results: Baseline characteristics among age groups were similar, although ECOG PS 1 vs 0 increased with age. MFS benefit with APA was highly significant for all age subgroups (Table). In pts ≥ 75 y, MFS risk with APA vs PBO was reduced by 59%; MFS risk was reduced by 86% and 76% for pts < 65 and 65-74 y, respectively. Risk of PFS2 with APA vs PBO was reduced across all age subgroups. PFS2 in pts < 65, 65-74, and ≥ 75 y: HR, 0.09 (p < 0.0001); HR, 0.56 (p = 0.0343); HR, 0.59 (p = 0.0092), respectively. Risk of symptomatic progression was lessened with APA vs PBO for all age subgroups (Table). There was a similar increase in incidence of tx-emergent adverse events (TEAE) with age in both tx arms that remained higher with APA. Incidence of grade 3/4 TEAE (≥ 75 vs < 65 y): APA, 50% vs 37%; PBO, 37% vs 28%. Conclusions: Pts in all age subgroups with high-risk nmCRPC had significant improvement in MFS with APA + ongoing ADT. The safety profile of APA was similar across age subgroups. Clinical trial information: NCT01946204. [Table: see text]

9105 Background: Docetaxel is a common comparator arm to test novel therapies in post-platinum mNSCLC trials. The advent of Real World Evidence (RWE) has renewed interest in the use of synthetic control arms (control arms from previously conducted randomized trials) to improve accrual to trials and increase patient access of promising experimental agents. We reviewed legacy second-line (2L) mNSCLC trials to assess the impact of switching docetaxel control arms from one trial to another and compare to an experimental regimen. Methods: We identified 5 contemporary 2L trials that enrolled 2013 patients receiving an experimental therapy vs. docetaxel: 5 immunoncology head-to-head trials (one with 2 arms) and one anti-VEGF add-on trial. Kaplan-Meier curves of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were produced for docetaxel controls. We calculated OS and PFS hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for each synthetic trial. A pooled doc arm was also compared with each experimental agent. Results: See Table. Conclusions: Both individual and pooled docetaxel switching of control arms approximated the original OS HR and 95% CI. Methods such as bootstrapped sampling and propensity score matching will be performed in an effort to more closely approximate the original trial characteristics. [Table: see text]

e11565 Background: Despite the availability of several therapeutic options for MBC, palliative treatments beyond 1st line lack of predictive factors that could help clinical decision making. We aimed to determine which is the impact of benefit at 1stline into the benefit from subsequent therapeutic lines. Methods: We analyzed a consecutive series of 472 MBC patients treated with chemotherapy (CT) and/or endocrine therapy (ET) at the Department of Oncology of Udine, Italy, between 2004 and 2012. We evaluated Progression Free Survival at 1st (PFS1), 2nd (PFS2), 3rd (PFS3) and 4th (PFS4) line of treatment. Three distinct analyses were conducted: the first for the lines of CT, the second for the lines of ET and the third by considering both CT and ET as a line of treatment. A PFS longer than 6 months was defined as “6-month benefit". Results: Median Overall Survival was 34.5 mo (25th – 75th percentile: 14.5 – 58.8), median overall PFS1 and PFS2 was 8.9 mo and 4.3 mo respectively. Median PFS1 and PFS2 in CT lines only was 7 mo and 3.7 mo, respectively. Median PFS1 and PFS2 in ET lines only was 9.4 mo and 4.6 mo respectively. Overall, 289 patients (63.5%) presented 6-month benefit at 1st line, 128 (40.5%) at 2nd, 76 (33.8%) at 3rd and 34 (23.3%) at 4th. Not having a 6-month benefit in overall PFS1 was associated with a lack of benefit both at 2nd line (OR=0.48; p=0.0026) and at any line beyond the 1st (OR=0.39; p< 0.0001). Taking into consideration CT lines only, not having a 6-month benefit in CT PFS1 was associated with a lack of benefit both at 2nd line (OR=0.45; p=0.0072) and at any line beyond the 1st (OR=0.43; p=0.0026). A lack of benefit at the 1st ET line was not associated with further ET outcome neither in 2nd line nor in any line beyond the 1st. Stratification according to immunophenotype highlighted a statistical significance only among HER2 positive tumors (OR=0.2; p=0.0152 in 2nd line and OR=0.14; p=0.0036 beyond 1st line). Conclusions: Our results suggest that the absence of a “6-month benefit” in PFS1 predicts a lack of benefit in subsequent therapy lines, especially in HER2 positive disease. However, a lack of benefit at first line ET appears not to be detrimental to further anti-hormonal lines.

335 Background: Perioperative cisplatin based chemotherapy (PCBC) is a standard of care in the management of muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma (UC). Cisplatin based (C) therapy also represents the historical first line treatment of metastatic disease. There is however no data to guide the optimal choice of first line chemotherapy regimen – C re-treatment vs other second-line or non cisplatin regimens (NC) –in UC patients who relapse after receiving PCBC. This multicenter retrospective study compares C vs NC first line treatment on progression-free survival (PFS) for patients (pts) with advanced UC after PCBC and cystectomy. Methods: Data were collected for patients who received various first-line chemotherapies for advanced UC following previous PCBC therapy. Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the prognostic ability of type of peri-operative / first-line chemotherapy, visceral metastasis, ECOG status, time from prior chemotherapy (TFPC), anemia, leukocytosis and albumin on PFS. Results: Data were available for 145 pts from 12 centers. The mean age was 62 years, 113 (77.9%) were men and ECOG-PS was 0 or >0 in 74 (51.0%) and 61 (42.0%) patients. Ninety-one (62.8%) pts received C first line, the median number of cycles was 4 (range 1-17) and the median TFPC was 6.2 months (range 1-154). Median overall survival was 86 weeks (95% CI 70-106) and median PFS was 24 (95% CI 18-27) weeks. Time from perioperative chemotherapy (TFPC) (>52 weeks vs ≤52 weeks; HR 0.63 p=0.027) and ECOG-PS at first line (1+ vs 0; HR 1.73 p=0.010), were prognostic of PFS. No significant effect was noted for C vs NC first line (p=0.70); however, among patients with TFPC >52 weeks, patients with NC had worse PFS (median 4.6 months, 95% CI 1.8-12.2) than those who received C (median 8.1, 95% CI 3.2-16.3). Conclusions: There is no evidence to suggest overall superiority of C vs NC based first line chemotherapy or a second-line regimen in patients with advanced UC who received prior PCBC. However, those with TFPC >52 weeks should probably receive C first line chemotherapy given better PFS with C.

9049 Background: Correlations between overall survival (OS) and objective response rate (ORR) or progression-free survival (PFS) are poor. We aimed to evaluate the impact of crossover and unbalanced subsequent treatments on ORR and PFS as surrogate endpoints for OS in patients with advanced NSCLC receiving first-line therapy. Methods: A systematic literature review of randomized clinical trials of systemic treatment for patients with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC receiving first-line therapy was performed. Weighted (by trial size) linear regression models were fitted with the absolute difference in ORR or median PFS as an independent variable and the absolute difference in median OS as a dependent variable. The analysis was repeated in predefined subsets based on crossover and balance of post-progression therapies. Surrogate threshold effect (STE) was estimated using prediction intervals. Results: 317 trials (78,644 patients) fulfilled the eligibility criteria. In all treatment arms, the mean ORR, median PFS, and median OS were 28.2% (standard deviation (SD) = 12.4%), 5.1 months (SD = 2.1), and 10.4 months (SD = 2.5), respectively. ORR and PFS had weak (R = 0.351; 95% CI: 0.251-0.443) and (R = 0.397; 95% CI: 0.267-0.512) associations with OS, respectively. However, within phase III trials that did not allow crossover and reported balanced post-progression treatments, both ORR and PFS had stronger associations with OS (ORR and OS: R = 0.601, 95% CI: 0.399-0.747; PFS and OS: R = 0.695, 95% CI: 0.446-0.844). STE estimation indicated that trials that show statistically significant treatment effect size of ≥43% ORR or ≥3.2 median PFS months can be expected to show significant OS benefit with sufficient certainty. Conclusions: Surrogacy of ORR and PFS for OS might be better estimated in trials that do not allow crossover and report balanced post-progression treatments. Presented STE calculation can be used to estimate the expected effect on OS when either ORR or PFS are used as primary endpoints.

11052 Background: Based on the placebo (PBO) controlled phase 2 trial (Mir, Lancet Oncol 2016), RE has shown to be an active drug in patients (pts) with leiomyosarcoma (LMS), synovial sarcoma (SS) and other non-adipocytic sarcoma (OTH), but not in liposarcoma. Pts initially allocated to PBO were allowed to cross-over to RE after progression. We here report the activity of RE after cross-over. Methods: From July 2013 to Dec 2014, 138 pts were enrolled in the non-adipocytic sarcoma cohorts (LMS, SS & OTH). After update in Dec 2016, median follow-up was 32 mo (vs 17 mo in the initial publication). Benefit of RE vs PBO in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from randomization was estimated by hazard ratio (HR) in Cox models. In the PBO arm, intra-patient benefit of RE after cross-over was evaluated by the growth modulation index (GMI), where PFS1=PFS with PBO before cross-over, and PFS2=PFS with RE after cross-over. The impact of timing of RE allocation (delayed after cross-over, vs early at study entry) was evaluated by comparing PFS after cross-over in PBO arm to PFS after randomization in RE arm. Results: As detailed in the table, major PFS benefit of RE vs PBO allocated by randomization was confirmed with long follow-up (HR=0.50 [95%CI 0.35-0.71] p<.0001). However, this translates into a smaller and non-significant OS benefit (HR=0.78 [0.54-1.12] p=.18). This finding may partially be explained by the fact that 55 of the 68 pts who progressed in the PBO arm (81%) could receive RE after progression and benefit from RE: 56% of them had a GMI greater than 1.3. Delayed start of RE was associated with a non-significantly shorter PFS compared to earlier treatment (HR=1.21, [0.84-1.73] p=.30). Conclusions: Efficacy of RE vs PBO is confirmed with longer follow-up in non-adipocytic sarcoma. PFS of pts receiving RE after cross-over is not significantly shorter than that of pts initially randomized to receive RE. Clinical trial information: NCT01900743. [Table: see text]

8032 Background: The impact of t(11;14) (16%–24% of MM pts) on prognosis is not fully understood. Consensus is lacking on the effects of induction treatment (tx) on outcomes with t(11;14). The Connect MM Registry (NCT01081028) is a large, US, multicenter, prospective observational cohort study of pts with NDMM designed to examine real-world diagnostic patterns, treatment (tx) patterns, clinical outcomes, and HRQoL pt-reported outcomes in pts with NDMM. The impact of t(11;14) on tx outcomes are reported. Methods: Analysis included data from pts from 250 community, academic, and government sites in cohort (C) 1 (9/2009–12/2011) and C2 (12/2012–4/2016), who completed first-line (1L; induction) tx and were tested for t(11;14) by FISH or cytogenetics. Primary end points (progression-free survival [PFS] and overall survival [OS]) were measured from start of 1L tx to earliest event (PFS, death or progression; OS, death), loss to follow-up, or data cutoff, adjusted for baseline (BL) risk factors. A sensitivity analysis excluding pts with concomitant cytogenetic abnormalities [del 17p, t(4;14), t(14;16), 1q+] was also performed. Results: By 1/2018, 3011 pts were enrolled; 2938 were treated. Of 1574 enrolled pts tested for t(11;14), 378 were t(11;14)+ and 1196 were t(11;14)−. More pts in C2 vs C1 were t(11;14)+ (60% vs 40%). BL characteristics were similar between groups. t(11;14) status did not affect PFS ( P= NS) or OS ( P= NS; Table). Pts in C1 and C2 received similar 1L txs (IMiD agent + proteasome inhibitor [PI], 30% vs 42%; PI only, 42% vs 43%; IMiD agent only, 17% vs 11%). Results were similar when pts with concomitant abnormalities were excluded. Conclusions: Results of this analysis suggest that t(11;14) does not affect PFS and OS outcomes in NDMM pts. Clinical trial information: NCT01081028. [Table: see text]

e20001 Background: Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a neoplasm of the post-germinal center, terminally differentiated B-cells. MM accounts for 1% of all types of cancer and 10% for all hematologic malignancies. Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an infection that affects over 71 million patients worldwide. Cytotoxic agents and immunosuppressive therapy as steroids are the main line of therapy in lymphoid malignancies, but these drugs may exacerbate chronic viral hepatitis and cause uncontrolled replication of hepatitis viruses. The impact of HCV infection on MM patients remains unclear. Objective: To assess the impact of HCV infection on the prognosis and management of MM patients. Methods: A 10-year retrospective study of MM patients was conducted at Cairo University Clinical Oncology Department from January 2009 to April 2019. Results: During this time, 150 patients were diagnosed with MM, 109 (72.7%) were HCV negative, 24 (16%) were HCV positive, and 17 (11.3%) with unknown HCV status. The median age was 51 and 54 years for HCV negative and positive groups respectively, with a statistically insignificant difference (p-value > 0.2). In the multivariate analysis, HCV infection was not an independent factor related to overall survival (OS), however age, creatinine and hemoglobin levels correlated significantly with OS (p < 0.009, 0.008, 0.031 respectively). The median OS for the HCV negative group was 31.11 months (95% CI: 22.62 - 39.61) compared to 37.66 months (95% CI: 7.19 - 68.13) for the HCV positive group. The median progression-free survival (PFS) for all patients was 18.9 months, for HCV positive patients was 15.36 months (95% CI: 13.18 – 17.54), and for HCV negative patients was 20.49 months (95% CI: 14.13 – 26.85). Age below 60 years and creatinine level less than 2 mg/dL were statistically significant for favorable disease-free survival (DFS) (p < 0.030, 0.034 respectively). Conclusions: Age, creatinine and hemoglobin levels are significant prognostic factors in MM but HCV status doesn’t affect the overall survival or progression-free survival. HCV infection should not contraindicate MM therapy.
