747 Background: In the RAS wt population of APEC, q2w cetuximab combined with 1L FOLFOX or FOLFIRI achieved a best confirmed overall response rate (BORR), median progression-free survival (PFS), and median overall survival (OS) similar to those reported in prior 1L pivotal studies involving weekly (qw) cetuximab. In this hypothesis-generating subgroup analysis, we evaluated the impact of TS in APEC study patients with RAS wt mCRC. Methods: APEC was a nonrandomized phase 2 trial conducted in the Asia-Pacific region, with BORR as the primary endpoint. Patients with KRAS exon 2 wt tumors received q2w cetuximab + investigator’s choice of FOLFOX or FOLFIRI; subsequent analyses considered patients who were RAS wt ( KRAS/ NRAS, exons 2-4). TS was categorized in evaluable patients with RAS wt tumors (left [L]-sided = splenic flexure, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum; right [R]-sided = appendix, cecum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure, and transverse colon). Results: Among 167 patients with RAS wt mCRC, 159 were evaluable for TS; 130 (81.8%) had L-sided and 29 (18.2%) had R-sided mCRC. Baseline characteristics in the TS subgroups reflected the known differences between L- and R-sided mCRC. Efficacy data for the TS subgroups are summarized in the table. Conclusions: Consistent with prior 1L pivotal studies involving qw cetuximab, a prognostic effect of TS in patients receiving 1L q2w cetuximab was confirmed in APEC. BORR remained ≥50% in patients with R-sided mCRC, in line with prior evidence that use of cetuximab may be appropriate when tumor shrinkage/cytoreduction is the goal. These hypothesis-generating data also raise the possibility of synergy between cetuximab and, in particular, irinotecan for PFS and OS in patients with R-sided tumors, although numbers are small.

492 Background: 3-drug chemotherapy (CT) + BEV (cFOLFOXIRI-BEV) significantly improved efficacy vs FOLFIRI-BEV for 1L mCRC tx, but safety and the impact of subsequent fluoropyrimidine-BEV maintenance tx require further definition. The phase 2 STEAM (NCT01765582) trial assessed efficacy of 1L cFOLFOXIRI-BEV vs FOLFOX-BEV and safety of alternating 2-drug CT (FOLFOX and FOLFIRI) + BEV tx monthly in a sequential sFOLFOXIRI-BEV regimen. Methods: Pts with unresectable, previously untreated mCRC were randomized 1:1:1 to BEV-containing (5 mg/kg) arms (cFOLFOXIRI, sFOLFOXIRI [alternating FOLFOX and FOLFIRI every 4 weeks {q4w}], or FOLFOX q3w) in a 4–6 month induction phase, followed by BEV-containing maintenance tx. Stratification factors included extent of metastatic disease and tumor location. Primary objectives: 1L ORR, 1L progression-free survival (PFS), safety. Secondary objectives: resection and conversion to resectable disease rates, time to 2L PFS, overall survival. ORR was tested with a 1-sided alpha of 5%; tx arms were compared with a stratified 1-sided Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test. PFS was analyzed descriptively. Results:Among 280 enrolled pts (median age, 57.5 yrs), 186 remainined in the study on July 1, 2015. Efficacy and safety are shown (see Table). Conclusion: While not statistically significant, there was a trend of increased ORR with cFOLFOXIRI-BEV vs FOLFOX-BEV in 1L mCRC tx. Analysis of PFS is ongoing. All 3 regimens were well tolerated.

683 Background: In the RAS wt population of TAILOR, adding cet to 1L F significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and overall response rate (ORR). In this subgroup analysis, we evaluate the impact of TL. Methods: TAILOR is a randomized phase 3 trial that includes a modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population of 393 pts from China with RASwt mCRC treated with F ± cet. The primary endpoint of TAILOR is PFS; key secondary endpoints include OS and ORR. TL was categorized in evaluable pts in the mITT population (left-sided = splenic flexure, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum; right-sided = appendix, cecum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure, ± transverse colon). Results: Efficacy data for the TL subgroups are summarized in the table. Additionally, the prognostic effect of TL (left- vs right-sided) within the treatment arms could be shown for PFS (HR = 1.72; p = .007), OS (HR = 1.84; p = .002), and ORR (OR = 0.40; p = .014) in the cet + F arm and PFS (HR = 1.97; p = .002), OS (HR = 1.43; p = .073), and ORR (OR = 0.41; p = .028) in the F arm. Regarding the potential predictive value of TL, the p values for the interaction between TL and treatment are: PFS (.676), OS (.339), and ORR (.986). Conclusions: In TAILOR, adding cet to 1L F clearly benefitted RAS wt pts with left-sided tumors in terms of PFS, OS, and ORR; for pts with right-sided tumors, the HRs for PFS and the ORs for ORR also consistently suggested a benefit showing a trend in favor of cet.

11516 Background: Eribulin and gemcitabine have shown encouraging efficacy in soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) as a monotherapy. Here, we evaluated the activity and safety of combined use of eribulin and gemcitabine in two most common histologic types of STS, liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. Methods: In this non-randomized, multi-center phase 2 study, patients were included if they had progressive disease after one or two prior chemotherapy including doxorubicin. Patient were given eribulin 1.4 mg/m2 and gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 on day1 and day 8 every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival rate at 12 weeks (PFSR12wks) with null and alternative hypothesis of PFSR12wks≤20.0% and ≥40.0%, respectively. Results: Of 37 patients included, 22 had leiomyosarcoma, and 15 had liposarcoma. At 12-weeks after treatment, 16 and (72.7%) 11 (73.3%) patients in leiomyosarcoma and liposarcoma were progression-free. Overall PFSR12wks was 73.0%, satisfying the primary endpoint. Objective response rate, disease control rate, median progression-free survival, and median overall survival were 16.2%, 78.4%, 23.9 weeks, and 88.9 weeks, without any statistical differences according to histologic subtypes. No new safety signals and treatment-related death were observed. Conclusions: Eribulin and gemcitabine showed promising activity and manageable safety profile in patients with STS of liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma histology. Updated outcomes for ongoing patients will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT03810976.

363 Background: Patients requiring sunitinib dose reduction who received a novel dose/schedule modification scheme had longer progression-free survival (PFS) than patients who did not require dose reduction and remained on 50 mg Schedule 4/2 (4 weeks on, 2 weeks off) (Bjarnason 2011). Our analysis compared sunitinib efficacy in advanced RCC patients with/without dose reduction using the label-approved, dose-reduction scheme (ie, 50 mg/37.5 mg/25 mg) and schedule (Schedule 4/2) and explored potential causes of any differences. Methods: Data from a Phase 3 and a Phase 2 trial, sunitinib Schedule 4/2 arms only (N=375 and 146, respectively), were retrospectively analyzed, and pharmacokinetics and baseline characteristics of patients with/without dose reduction compared. Results: In the Phase 3 trial, median (95% CI) PFS was 14.0 (13.1–16.2) months (mos) and 8.1 (6.3–10.6) mos with (n=194) and without (n=181) dose reduction, respectively. In the Phase 2 trial, corresponding PFS values were 13.4 (9.8–19.8) mos and 5.8 (3.9–8.5) mos (n=51 and 95, respectively). In the Phase 2 trial, steady-state mean (SD) total drug trough concentrations were 96.0 (42.2) ng/mL and 85.8 (43.4) ng/mL on Day 29 of Cycle 1 in patients with/without dose reduction, respectively. In both studies, the percent of patients with baseline Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center risk factors of 0 (favorable), 1–2 (intermediate), and 3 (poor) were 37–47%, 53–57% and 0–6% with dose reduction vs. 25–28%, 65–72%, and 0–10% without dose reduction. The mean (range) time to dose reduction was 7.2 (0.03–40.4) mos in the Phase 3 trial and 4.5 (0.4–22.6) mos in the Phase 2 trial. Conclusions: Patients with dose reduction remaining on Schedule 4/2 appeared to have longer PFS than patients with no dose reduction. The differences were not caused by differences in plasma drug exposures; they appeared to be due, at least in part, to 1) differences in patients’ baseline prognostic factors and 2) patients’ PFS or longevity affecting their dose-reduction status. Thus, efficacy subgroup analysis based on patients’ dose-reduction status appears to be confounded, leading to biased results.

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]

Abstract OBJECTIVE In the EF-14 phase 3 trial, TTFields 9200 kHz) added to maintenance TMZ increased median OS to 20.9 months versus 16.0 months with maintenance TMZ (p&lt; 0.001) in ndGBM. Preclinical investigations showed that TTFields/RT have a synergistic effect. A pilot study (N=10) in ndGBM demonstrated the feasibility and safety of TTFields combined with RT/TMZ (Grossman Front Onc 2020). The only TTFields-related adverse event was array-associated skin toxicity. Median PFS was 8.9 months. Based on these encouraging results, this prospective, randomized phase 2 study [NCT03869242] in 60 patients further investigates if the addition of TTFields TMZ/RT treatment in ndGBM patients improves treatment efficacy and delays disease progression. METHODS Following debulking surgery or biopsy, 60 patients (≥18 years) with histologically confirmed GBM, KPS≥70 and life expectancy &gt;3 months will be randomized 1:1 to: i) RT with concomitant TMZ/TTFields (200 kHz) for 6 weeks followed by up to 6 months of maintenance TMZ combined with TTFields (experimental arm) up to 24 months; or ii) RT with concomitant TMZ alone followed by maintenance TMZ combined with TTFields (control arm). Patients with early progressive disease, significant comorbidities precluding maintenance RT or TMZ or with implanted electronic devices will be excluded. The primary endpoint is the rate of progression free survival at 12 months (PFS12). Treatment with TTF will be continued until second progression or 24 months (the earlier of the two). All patients will be followed for survival. All adverse events will graded per CTCAE V5.0. The sample size of 60 patients provides 80% power with two-sided alpha level of 0.05 to detect a PFS12 of 46.5% with RT/TMZ/TTFields compared to 29.4% with RT/TMZ followed, respectively, by maintenance TMZ/TTFields (calculated from the RT/TMZ followed by maintenance TMZ/TTFields arm of the EF-14 trial). Follow-up will continue for &gt;12 months from recruitment of the last patient.

e16012 Background: Surrogate endpoints of benefit in mUC phase 2 salvage therapy trials are necessary to identify promising drugs, particularly for checkpoint inhibitors where response and progression-free survival are inadequate. We developed a nomogram using prognostic variables from phase 2 trials of historical agents to estimate 12 month survival to which observed survival in phase 2 trials could be compared. Methods: Data were obtained from phase 2 trials of salvage therapy for mUC for survival and 5 prognostic factors: hemoglobin, performance status, liver metastasis, treatment-free interval and albumin. Patients (pts) were randomly allotted to discovery:validation (DIS:VAL) datasets in a 2:1 ratio. A nomogram was developed for estimating 12-month survival. Calibration plots were constructed in the VAL dataset by plotting estimated vs. observed 12-mo survival and data bootstrapped to assess performance. The nomogram was applied to external nonrandomized salvage therapy data: 1) retrospective pemetrexed data or 2) trials of atezolizumab: PCD4989g and IMvigor210. Results: Data were available from 340 pts receiving sunitinib (n = 77), everolimus (n = 45), docetaxel + vandetanib or placebo (n = 109), pazopanib (n = 42), paclitaxel (n = 36) and docetaxel (n = 31). Calibration and prognostic ability of the model was acceptable (c-index = 0.634, 95% CI = 0.596-0.652). Observed 12-month survival for pts on pemetrexed (n = 127, 23.5% [95% CI: 16.2%-31.7%]) were similar to nomogram-predicted survival (19% [95% CI: 16.5-21.5], P> 0.05), while observed result with atezolizumab (n = 403, 39.0% [95% CI: 34.1-43.9]) exceeded predicted result (24.6% [95% CI: 23.4-25.8], P< 0.001). Conclusions: Atezolizumab was associated with a significantly longer 12-mo survival compared to nomogram-predicted survival while pemetrexed was not. This nomogram incorporates baseline prognostic factors to provide expected 12-mo survival of phase 2 patient cohorts with which to compare observed survival, providing a useful tool to quantify benefit in phase II studies while controlling the impact of clinical variables.

138 Background: Regorafenib is recommended to treat advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) refractory to imatinib and sunitinib. However, the efficacy is not satisfied, other active agents need to be explored to advanced patients. Methods: In this single arm, multi-center, phase 2 trial, we enrolled patients aged 18 years and older with advanced GIST who had received previous imatinib and sunitinib treatment. Participants were treated with oral dasatinib 50mg twice a day for 2 weeks. If patients were tolerable, then they received dasatinib 70mg twice a day treatment, to tumor progression or intolerable toxicities. The primary endpoint was RECIST-based progression-free survival (PFS) in the intention-to-treat population. The secondary endpoints included response rate, overall survival (OS) and advent events. ctDNA will be analysis in some patients to explore the sensitive biomarker to dasatinib. Results: From May 2016 to June 2018, 58 patients from nine medical centers were enrolled in this study. Two patients had partial response and disease control rate was 62.0%. The median PFS was 3.0 months (95% CI, 2.6-3.4 months). There was no statistic difference of PFS in both subgroup with different primary mutations and in subgroup with different secondary mutations. The patients with wild type GIST had a trend of longer PFS of 5.5 months. In 4 patients with PDGFRA D842V mutation, two patients had stable disease. The median OS was 14.0 months (95% CI, 10.8-17.2 months). The most frequently observed grade 3 adverse events included anemia (10.3%), diarrhea (1.7%). The analysis of ct DNA is ongoing. Conclusions: Dasatinib is an active treatment for patients with GIST who are refractory to imatinib and sunitnib. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02776878 . Clinical trial information: NCT02776878.

Abstract Combinations of bortezomib (V) and dexamethasone (D) with either lenalidomide (R) or cyclophosphamide (C) have shown significant efficacy. This randomized phase 2 trial evaluated VDC, VDR, and VDCR in previously untreated multiple myeloma (MM). Patients received V 1.3 mg/m2 (days 1, 4, 8, 11) and D 40 mg (days 1, 8, 15), with either C 500 mg/m2 (days 1, 8) and R 15 mg (days 1-14; VDCR), R 25 mg (days 1-14; VDR), C 500 mg/m2 (days 1, 8; VDC) or C 500 mg/m2 (days 1, 8, 15; VDC-mod) in 3-week cycles (maximum 8 cycles), followed by maintenance with V 1.3 mg/m2 (days 1, 8, 15, 22) for four 6-week cycles (all arms) ≥ very good partial response was seen in 58%, 51%, 41%, and 53% (complete response rate of 25%, 24%, 22%, and 47%) of patients (VDCR, VDR, VCD, and VCD-mod, respectively); the corresponding 1-year progression-free survival was 86%, 83%, 93%, and 100%, respectively. Common adverse events included hematologic toxicities, peripheral neuropathy, fatigue, and gastrointestinal disturbances. All regimens were highly active and well tolerated in previously untreated MM, and, based on this trial, VDR and VCD-mod are preferred for clinical practice and further comparative testing. No substantial advantage was noted with VDCR over the 3-drug combinations. This trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT00507442).

Purpose: Intolerance is the most common reason for kinase inhibitor (KI) discontinuation in CLL. Umbralisib a novel, highly selective PI3Kδ/CK1ε inhibitor, is active and well tolerated in CLL patients. This phase 2 trial evaluated umbralisib in CLL patients who are intolerant to prior BTK or PI3K inhibitor therapy. Patients and Methods: In this phase 2 trial (NCT02742090), umbralisib was initiated at 800 mg oral daily in CLL patients requiring therapy per investigator discretion who were intolerant to prior BTK or PI3K inhibitor therapy, until progression or toxicity. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included time to treatment failure and umbralisib safety profile. DNA isolated from buccal swabs was genotyped for polymorphisms in CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and CYP2D6. Results: Fifty-one patients were enrolled (44 BTKi and 7 PI3Kδi intolerant). Median age was 70 years (range 48-96), median of 2 prior lines of therapy (1-7), 24% had del17p and/or TP53 mutation, and 65% were IGHV unmutated. Most common AEs leading to prior KI discontinuation were rash (27%), arthralgia (18%), and atrial fibrillation (16%). Median progression free survival (PFS) was 23.5 months (95% CI 13.1-not estimable). 58% of patients were on umbralisib for a longer duration than prior KI. Most common (≥5%) grade ≥3 AEs on umbralisib (all causality) were neutropenia (18%), leukocytosis (14%), thrombocytopenia (12%), pneumonia (12%), and diarrhea (8%). Six patients (12%) discontinued umbralisib due to an AE. Eight patients (16%) had dose reductions and were successfully re-challenged. Conclusions: Umbralisib is safe and effective in this BTK and alternate PI3K inhibitor intolerant CLL population. These are the first prospective data to confirm that switching from a BTK or alternate PI3K inhibitor to umbralisib can result in durable, well tolerated responses.
