750 Background: The alternate-days administration of S-1 was suggested to reduce toxicities such as GI-related adverse events (AEs) or neutropenia maintaining efficacy in some previous reports. This phase II study was aimed to evaluate an alternate-day administration of S-1 combined with bevacizumab in untreated elderly patients with mCRC. Methods: The key eligibility criteria included age ≥75 years, first-line chemotherapy, measurable lesions, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) 0–1, preserved organ function, and refusal of oxaliplatin- or irinotecan-containing regimen as the initial chemotherapy. Patients received 40 mg (body surface area [BSA] ≤1.25 m2), 50 mg (BSA > 1.25 to ≤1.50 m2), or (BSA > 1.50 m2) of S-1 orally, twice a day, on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday every week. Bevacizumab of 7.5 mg/kg was administered every 3 weeks. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Expected median PFS was 8.5 months, and efficacy threshold was 5.0 months. The required sample size was calculated as 50 patients, with a 2-sided type I error of 10% and a power of 80%. Results: Of 54 enrolled patients, 50 patients for efficacy and 53 patients for safety were evaluated. The median age was 79 years (range, 75–88), and 56% had an ECOG PS of 0. The median follow-up time was 34.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 25.6–44.9). Median PFS was 8.1 months (95%CI, 7.4–10.1). Median overall survival was 22.8 months (95%CI, 16.9–28.5). The response rate and disease control rate were 44% and 88%, respectively. Grade 3 or more hematologic, non-hematologic, and bevacizumab-related AEs were observed in 9%, 11%, and 25% of patients, respectively. The most common grade 3 and 4 treatment-related adverse events were hypertension (11%), nausea (6%), fatigue (6%), anemia (6%), and proteinuria (6%). Treatment-related death caused by cerebral infarction was observed in one patient. Conclusions: The primary endpoint was met. The alternate-days administration of S-1 combined with bevacizumab was well tolerated and effective in elderly patients with mCRC. Clinical trial information: UMIN000010402.

7625 Background: In advanced NSCLC, E and B either as a single agent (E) or in combination with chemotherapy (B) show improved survival. Combinations of targeted agents may prove to be effective and better tolerated than chemotherapy. Methods: This is a multi-center 2-stage phase II study (Simon's optimal design; p0=40%, p1=60%, a=0.05, β=0.20). Primary endpoint is non-progression (NPR) at 6 weeks defined by CT and FDG-PET. If 7 or less of the first 16 pts had NPR, the study would close. If 24/46 pts had NPR at 6 wks treatment would be declared to have sufficient activity for further testing. Pts (PS 0–2) with advanced non- squamous NSCLC who had received no prior chemotherapy were treated with E (150 mg/day) plus B (15 mg/kg every 21 days) until PD or unacceptable toxicity. Results: Between 30/01/06 and 08/12/06, 38 pts were included; 33 pts are evaluable for safety, 32 for efficacy. M/F 17/16; median age 59 (range 34–80); stage IIIB/IV 8/25; PS 0/1/2: 16/13/4; smoking status: current/former/never 12/17/4. Treatment-related adverse events (all grades) were: rash (32%); diarrhea (18%); hemorrhage (2.6%); hypertension (2.7%); and thrombosis (2.7%). Grade 3/4 events were rash (9.9%); thrombosis (1.8%); diarrhea (0.9%); and hypertension (0.9%). Six pts withdrew early from the study: 2 due to toxicity (trombosis and mucositis); 2 due to death (1 death for unknown reason, 1 due to pneumonia); 2 for treatment unrelated reasons. Six pts had E dose reductions due to toxicity. Five pts had delays of less than 2 wks before receiving B. Percentage of NPR at 6 weeks is 75% (24/32). The median follow-up: 6.3 months (95% CI 3.5–9.2). Median TTP: 5.5 months (95% CI 1.9 - 9.2), At time of analysis 22/33 patients are alive, 17 patients are without PD. Conclusions: E + B regimen is well tolerated, with a low rate of grade 3/4 adverse events and no unexpected toxicities. The primary endpoint has already been met. Updated results including correlative imaging studies will be presented. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract Background: Chemoimmunotherapy is considered standard initial therapy for follicular lymphoma (FL) with high tumor burden (HTB). Obinutuzumab and Bendamustine (OB) with maintenance Obinutuzumab (mO) is considered a standard therapy for the frontline treatment of HTB FL (GALLIUM, Marcus et al, NEJM 2017). Venetoclax (VEN), an oral BCL2 inhibitor, is an attractive target in FL given the high BCL2 expression; though single agent activity has been disappointing (Davids et al. JCO 2017). BCL2 inhibition is thought to be synergistic with chemotherapy. Thus, the PrE0403 study evaluated the OB-VEN combination in frontline HTB FL. Here we present end of induction (EOI) outcomes. Methods: The primary objective of this Phase II study was to estimate the complete remission (CR) rate at EOI. Potential participants must have had a histologically confirmed diagnosis of FL grade 1, 2, or 3a with HTB defined by GELF or high risk defined by FLIPI-1 criteria. They must have had adequate performance status and organ function. Notably, creatinine clearance must have been ≥50 mL/min. Participants must have not had prior treatment for FL. Eligible participants were treated with Bendamustine IV 90 mg/m2 Day (D) 1 & 2, Obinutuzumab IV 100 mg D1, 900 mg D2, 1000 mg D8 and D15 of Cycle (C) 1 then D1 of each cycle, and VEN 800 mg orally daily D1-10 every 28 days for 6 total cycles. Due to a high rate of laboratory tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) during C1 in the first 21 patients, VEN was removed from C1 and given in C2-6 only. Participants with a CR at EOI were treated with mO IV 1000 mg D1 every 8 weeks for 2 years. Those with a partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) were treated with mO as well as VEN 800 mg orally daily for 2 years. Pneumocystis jiroveci Pneumonia (PJP) and antiviral prophylaxis was required as was G-CSF support. Response was assessed via Lugano Criteria at EOI including PET/CT and bone marrow assessment. Adverse Events (AEs) were evaluated using CTCAE v5.0. To be considered promising, OB-VEN should improve the null hypothesis CR rate of 50% (OB) to 65%. With an 85% power and a one sided 15% type I error, 56 participants would be needed with an estimated 51 eligible. Support for the study was from Genentech, Member of the Roche Group. Results A total of 56 participants were enrolled and treated between 12/2017 and 11/2020; baseline characteristics are listed in Table 1. TLS was closely monitored in C1 and 8/21 participants developed TLS when VEN was administered in C1; 0/35 when it was not. However, monitoring for TLS in C1 became less stringent when VEN was not administered. Treatment related Grade ≥3 toxicities occurred in 47/56 participants (83.9%) with serious adverse events in 31 of 56 (55.5%). Atypical infections were seen; there was one treatment related death on study due to cytomegalovirus (CMV) encephalitis as well as PJP pneumonia which occurred after induction C6. Enrollment was temporarily suspended and CMV monitoring was implemented with no further occurrences. Another participant receiving mO later developed BK virus nephropathy following mO C6 and now requires ongoing hemodialysis. Another was diagnosed with Respiratory Syncytial Virus pneumonia 30 days after C6 and later PJP pneumonia after C2 of mO. Common (incidence >10%) AEs during induction are listed in Table 2. 45 of 56 (80.4%) participants were able to receive all 6 cycles of OB-VEN. CR was seen in 41 of 56 participants (73.2%, 2 sided 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 59.7-84.2%) at the EOI. 30 participants (53.5%) went onto maintenance. With a median follow up of 20.9 months, estimated 2 year Overall Survival (OS) and Progression-Free Survival (PFS) (90% CI) is 94.4% (82.4-98.3%) and 85.8% (68.8-93.9%) respectively. Conclusions This Phase II study of OB-VEN in untreated HTB FL showed high CR rate and met its primary endpoint with early signs of prolonged PFS. Laboratory TLS was identified but it was unclear if attributed solely to VEN, as baseline laboratory TLS rate for OB is unknown. The rate of Grade ≥3 AE of 83.9% (compared to 69% for OB in GALLIUM, Hiddeman JCO 2018) and the observation of opportunistic infections including CMV encephalitis, PJP pneumonia and BK nephropathy, suggests the combination is highly immunosuppressive. Therefore, while the study met its primary outcome, the combination of OB-VEN at 800 mg for 10 days, plus mO, does not have an acceptable risk/benefit profile. Participants will continue to be followed for efficacy and safety during the maintenance phase. Figure 1 Figure 1.

10040 Background: Vorolanib (CM082) is a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor including VEGF, PDGF, c-kit, and Flt-3. Toripalimab (JS001) is a humanized IgG4 mAb against programmed death-1 (PD-1) with clinical activity in metastasis melanoma but not in its mucosal subtype. In this phase II study (NCT03602547), we investigated the safety and efficacy of CM082 in combination with JS001 in patients (pts) with advanced mucosal melanoma. Methods: The study enrolled pts from 18 to 75 years-old with histologically confirmed metastatic mucosal melanoma, ECOG PS 0-1, no prior systemic anti-cancer treatment. Eligible pts were treated with CM082 tablet (150 or 200 mg once daily) combined with JS001 (240mg every 2 weeks, IV, Q2W) until confirmed disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Clinical response was evaluated every 8 week. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) using RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), duration of remission (DOR), and time to first remission (TTR) according to RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST. The safety was also assessed. Results: Between July 2018 and April 12, 2019, 40 pts (19 pts in 150mg group; 21 pts in 200mg group) were enrolled and 38 pts were evaluable for tumor response (150mg n = 18, 200mg n = 20), with 4 (22.2%) confirmed partial response (PR), 6 (33.3%) stable disease (SD) and 8 (44.4%) progression disease (PD) in the 150mg CM082 group; 3 (15%) PRs (including 2 unconfirmed), 10 (50%) SD, and 7 (35%) PD were reported in the 200mg CM082 group. Tumors shrank in 10 pts (56%) in the 150mg group and 10 pts (50%) in the 200mg group. At data cut-off (November 28, 2019), 29 pts had PFS events (150mg n = 12; 200mg n = 17). The median PFS was 5.7 (95% CI 2.0, NE) months and 5.6 (1.9, 7.7) months in the two groups, respectively. The most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were grade 1 or 2, including leukopenia, elevated LDH, increased ALT, neutropenia, increased AST, and elevated GGT. Common grade 3 or higher adverse events ( > 10%) were increased ALT (12 pts, 30%), increased AST (11 pts, 27.5%), neutropenia (6 pts, 15%) and elevated GGT (6 pts, 15%). Eight pts had 9 serious AEs (SAEs). The study is still ongoing and more data will be presented in the future. Conclusions: PFS benefit was observed in both 150mg and 200mg subgroups. This study demonstrated potentially improved efficacy with predictable toxicities of CM082 in combination with JS001 therapy, which may be an effective treatment option for pts with advanced mucosal melanoma. Clinical trial information: NCT03602547.

556 Background: First line therapy for advanced cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is currently gemcitabine and cisplatin. However, survival rarely exceeds one year with this regimen. PI3K/AKT activation has been shown to increase resistance to chemotherapy in CCA; therefore, inhibiting this pathway may improve chemotherapy’s efficacy. This phase II study evaluated the safety and efficacy of copanlisib, a potent and reversible pan-class I PI3K inhibitor, with gemcitabine and cisplatin in advanced CCA. Methods: Between July 2016 and April 2019, pts with histologically confirmed advanced/unresectable CCA received cisplatin (25 mg/m2), gemcitabine (1000mg/m2), and copanlisib 60mg on day 1 and 8, every 21 days as first line treatment. The primary endpoint was PFS at 6 months. Secondary endpoints were RR, median OS and PFS, and safety profile. A single-arm Simon’s two-stage minimax design with one-sided 10% type I error and 80% power was used. Based on ABC-01 and ABC-02 studies, PFS6 for gemcitabine and cisplatin were 57.1% and 59.3%, respectively. Therefore, PFS6 of 57% was considered not to warrant further study and ≥72% to warrant further investigation. Results: Twenty-four pts received at least one dose of the study drug (62.5% female, median age 64 years), with 70.8% intrahepatic, 16.7% extrahepatic, and 12.5% gallbladder cancer. For all pts, median OS was 13.9 months (95% CI: 6.8-17.9) and median PFS was 6.2 months (95% CI: 1.3-11.1). PFS at 6 and 12 months was 57.0% and 42.2%, and 6 and 12-month OS was 73.9% and 53.2%, respectively. Only 19 pts were considered evaluable for RR. Five pts were either lost to follow up, withdrew consent, or died before a second scan was done. Six pts achieved PR (31.5%) and 11 (57.9%) had SD. Grade 3 or higher adverse events (AE) occurred in 75% of pts. The most common grade 3/4 AEs were decreased neutrophil count (40%) and increased lipase (20%). Treated related AEs led to drug discontinuation for 3 pts (12.5%) and dose modification for 7 pts (29.2%). Conclusions: Gemcitabine, cisplatin, and copanlisib in combination did not meet the primary endpoint of 6-month PFS. However, additional correlative work is ongoing to identify a possible biomarker for copanlisib. Clinical trial information: NCT02631590.

Background: There is no standard therapy for metastatic biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) refractory to first-line chemotherapy. Apatinib, a VEGFR2 tyrosine kynase inhibitor, showed an activity against BTC xenografts in preclinical models. We conducted an exploratory study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib in patients with metastatic BTC. Methods: This is a single-arm phase II study [ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03427242]. Eligible patients were aged 18 years or older; histologically confirmed metastatic BTC; refractory or intolerance to at least one chemotherapeutic regimen; no prior use of anti-angiogenic targeted drugs; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0–2. Patients received oral apatinib 500 mg each day continuously until unacceptable toxicity or tumor progression. The primary endpoint was progress free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoint was overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR) and treatment safety. Results: A total of 22 patients were recruited. All of them received apatinib medication. The median age was 63 (44–75) years old. Twenty patients received efficacy evaluation after treatment. The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 15.0% and 60.0%, respectively. The median PFS was 2.73 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.74–3.72 months], with 6 months PFS rate of 27.3% (95% CI: 8.7–45.9%). The median OS was 4.81 months (95% CI: 3.16–10.9 months), with 12 months OS rate of 36.4% (95% CI: 16.2–56.6%). Nine out of 22 patients (40.9%) had grade 3/4 adverse events. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were hand-foot skin syndrome [three (13.6%) patients] and hypertension [two (9.1%) patients]. No treatment-related death occurred. Conclusions: For patients with metastatic BTC, apatinib showed an anti-tumor activity with acceptable safety, which deserves the further clinical trial. This trial was prospectively registered on ClinicalTrials.gov [NCT03427242]. Date of first patient enrollment: 26 January 2018. Date of registration (date of first posted): 9 February 2018.

A Phase II Study of Lenalidomide Plus Rituximab in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Follicular Lymphoma: An Interim Analysis Zhong Zheng1, Li Wang1,2, Shu Cheng1, Peng-Peng Xu1, Wei-Li Zhao1,2 1State Key Laboratory of Medical Genomics, Shanghai Institute of Hematology, Shanghai Rui Jin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China 2Pôle de Recherches Sino-Français en Science du Vivant et Génomique, Laboratory of Molecular Pathology, Shanghai, China Abstract Background: Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common subtype of indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL). Rituximab plus chemotherapy for FL significantly improves the outcome of the patients, nevertheless, most patients ultimately relapse. Therefore, novel agents along with Rituximab have been applied to increase treatment efficacy in this subset of iNHL patients. Tumor immune eascape plays a crucial role in lymphoma progression. Through modulating tumor microenvironment, lenalidomide, are emerging as effective therapeutic approaches to affect tumor immunity and inhibit lymphoma cells proliferation. However, its anti-tumor activity activity has not yet been assessed in de-novo chinese FL patients. This prospective phase II study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide in combination with Rituximab (R2) in newly diagnosed FL patients (NCT 03715309). Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed FL (grade 1 to 3a), aged 16 to 75 years, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 2 are enrolled. The doses and administration schedule are as follows: rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day 0, lenalidomide 25mg from day 1 to day 10 every 3 weeks for 6 cycles. The primary endpoint is complete response (CR) rate assessed by PET-CT, and secondary endpoints include progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR) and main adverse events (AEs). Results: To date, eighty-six patients have been enrolled, with median age of 48 years (range, 22-73). At diagnosis, Seventy-seven patients (89.5%) presented advanced Ann Arbor stage and 19 cases (22.0%) showed elevated serum LDH level. Twenty-nine patients (33.7%) had multiple extra-nodal sites involving bone marrow, bone, gastrointestinal, and spleen. Twenty-one patients (24.4%) had IPI scores ≥ 3. For Sixty-four patients available for response evaluation, the CR rate was 81.2% (52/64) and the ORR was 90.1% (58/64). Grade 3-4 neutropenia was found in 18 cases (20.9%). No grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia and grade 3-4 anemia were observed. For non-hematological AEs, cutaneous reactions and tumor flare reaction were observed in 12 cases (13.9%) and in 1 case (1.16%), respectively, while no grade 4 non-hematological AEs were presented. Conclusion: Lenalidomide Plus Rituximab as first-line therapy for de novo patients with FL showed encouraging response and good tolerability. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

7073 Background: In preclinical studies, combinations of bortezomib and RT result in synergistic tumor killing (Cancer Chemother Pharmacol. 2007;59:207-15). Our group reported the results from the phase I portion of this study previously (J Clin Oncol. 200;28 (suppl; abstr 7085)). Based on these data, we undertook a phase II study of bortezomib in combination with paclitaxel/CBCDA and RT. Methods: Based on results from our previously reported phase I trial, systemic therapy included bortezomib (1.2 mg/m² IV days 1,4,8,11), paclitaxel (175 mg/m² IV day 2), and carboplatin (CBCDA; AUC=6 day 2) given every 3 weeks for 2 cycles. Thoracic radiotherapy (RT) included 60Gy/30 daily fractions starting day 1. The primary endpoint was the 12-month survival rate. If 41 or more of these 60 patients (68%) were alive at least 12 months after study entry, the trial would be deemed as positive and further study would be warranted. Results: 27 pts were enrolled to the phase II portion: M/F=17/10; stage IIIA/IIIB=13/14; ECOG PS 0/1=9/18; and median age: 58 (range 43-79). 18 pts (67%) completed therapy per protocol. At a planned interim analysis, 23 of 26 evaluable patients (88.5%, 95% CI: 70-98%) survived for at least 6 months, which exceeded the boundary of 21 or more needed to continue to full accrual. This trial could have continued per protocol, but was closed early due to slow accrual. With a median follow-up of 15.0 months in the 17 patients still alive, the 12-month survival rate was 71% (95% CI: 49 – 85). The median OS was 19 months (95% CI: 11 – no upper). Grade 3 or higher adverse events (regardless of attribution) were reported in 22 (82%) patients. Grade 4/5 adverse events were reported in 15 (56%) patients. There was one grade 5 event (pneumonitis). The most common (5 or more patients) grade 3/4 adverse events were fatigue (22%), leukopenia (63%), neutropenia (67%), and thrombocytopenia (44%). Conclusions: The addition of bortezomib resulted in high levels of severe hematologic toxicity, but also demonstrated evidence of activity with a 12-month survival rate of 71% and a median OS of 19 months. Further testing of this regimen in a larger study appears warranted.

Background: The combination of carfilzomib with immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) and dexamethasone is active in multiple myeloma (MM). Carfilzomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (KTd) has been studied in upfront MM treatment but has not been studied in the setting of relapsed/refractory myeloma (RRMM). The ALLG MM018/ AMN002 is an open-label phase II study of KTd in patients with RRMM. This study was conducted across 16 sites across Australia, New-Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. Method: Patients with RRMM with 1-3 prior lines of treatment were given carfilzomib [K: 20mg/m2 IV cycle 1 days 1 and 2, 56mg/m2 (36mg/m2 for patients age ≥75 years) from cycle 1 day 8 onwards], thalidomide (T: 100mg po nocte) and dexamethasone [dex: 40mg (20mg for patients age ≥75 years) po weekly], in a 28-day cycle. After 12 cycles, T was omitted, and K was given on days 1,2,15,16 and dex days 1,15 every 28-day cycles for a further six cycles. The primary endpoint was PFS. Secondary endpoints were ORR, overall survival, adverse events, and quality of life (QoL). The study had an 80% power to detect a ≥70% PFS at 6.5 months compared to historical ≤50% PFS at 6.5 months expected with Td (Kropff, M. et al. Haematologica 2012), at a significance level of 0.05. Results: This study has completed accrual. Eighty-three patients [median age of 66 years (42-85)] were enrolled with a median follow up of 15.9 (0.9-26) months. ORR rates were 86.4% (≥VGPR 70.2%). Median PFS was 20m (95% CI 15.9-26m). PFS at 6.5 months was 76.2% (95% CI 73.6-84.9%). Median OS has not been reached, and was 75% at 20 months. The most common grade ≥3/4 AEs were peripheral neuropathy (16%), upper respiratory tract infections (12%), dyspnoea (14%), and hypertension (10%). Grade ≥3/4 cardiac AEs occurred in 6%. The median carfilzomib dose that was delivered was 70.7% (32.8-92.6%) of the target dose. Thus far, 41% of patients have completed the intended 18 cycles of treatment. 21% of patients ceased therapy early. The most common reason for early treatment cessation was disease progression (30%) and adverse events (15%). Fifteen patients (18%) have died, 11 were due to MM, two from infection, one from an ischaemic cardiac event, and one from a traffic accident. QoL, as measured by the EQ-5D-5L instrument, remained stable throughout treatment. Conclusion: The ALLG MM018/AMN 002 study has met its primary endpoint. The KTd schedule as outlined in this study is efficacious in patients with RRMM, resulting in a prolonged PFS and a safety profile in line with previous reports for each of carfilzomib and thalidomide. KTd is an active option in jurisdictions where the cost of other IMiDs prohibits regulatory funding. Comparisons of efficacy and adverse events between the Caucasian and Asian populations will be presented at the meeting.

Abstract [Background and Objectives] CHOP (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, prednisolone) plus rituximab is a standard chemotherapy used to treat patients with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). However, among elderly patients, this regimen has not been completely satisfactory in its efficacy and safety because of agespecific comorbidity, increased toxicities of chemo-agents, and the more aggressive aspect of the lymphoma itself. Zinzani reported that a combination therapy including etoposide, mitoxantrone, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisolone, and bleomycin (VNCOP-B) was effective in elderly aggressive NHL patients (Blood1999;94:33–38). We conducted a phase II multicenter study in 8 collaborative institutions to determine if VNCOP-B plus rituximab was effective and safe to treat elderly patients with aggressive B-NHL. The primary endpoint was to detect overall survival (OS). The second endpoint was to detect the response rate (RR) and progression-free survival (PFS). [Patients and Treatment] Eligible patients were those aged over 60 years, with aggressive B-NHL documented as CD20 surface antigen positive, performance status (PS) 0 to 2, clinical stage over II or I with a bulky disease, measurable lesions, no prior chemotherapy nor radiation, no severe complications, no major organ dysfunction, no other active cancer, not a HBV carrier, no central nervous system involvement with lymphoma, and who gave the required written informed consent. VNCOP-B plus rituximab was administered as an induction therapy. This protocol was completed in 8 weeks and consisted of weekly doses of chemotherapy combined with rituximab every two weeks. During the 8 weeks of therapy, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was administered on a prophylactic base. Rituximab was administered weekly four times a month as a sequential therapy, following one month after the end of the induction therapy. [Results] Between September 2004 and December 2007, 23 patients, median age 73 years, 50.0% classified as high-intermediate/high risk on the age-adjusted International Prognostic Index (IPI), entered this trial and 21 were evaluated for feasibility, toxicity, and efficacy. Twenty-two patients (95.2%) were diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and one (4.8%) with mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. The nineteen patients (90.5%) completed the induction therapy and all these then received a sequential rituximab therapy. Complete remission rate was 90.5%, with a 100% overall RR at the end of induction therapy; OS rate at 3 years was 76.4% (median follow-up 744days); with an 82.6% 3-year PFS rate (median follow-up 744days). Average Relative dose intensity (RDI) in MIT was 0.61, no significant difference in survival was found regarding RDI. Although IgG level decreased during the induction therapy, it recovered to the prior level after sequential rituximab (IgG means±standard error: pre-treatment 1355.2±146.4mg/dl, post-induction therapy 785.3±107.0mg/dl, post-sequential rituximab 1010.4±60.2mg/dl). According to the IPI, there was a trend suggesting a lower probability of OS and PFS in high/high-intermediate risk than in low/low-intermediate risk cases (3-year OS: 67.5% versus 100.0%, P=0.51; 3-year PFS: 66.7% versus 100.0%, P NA). The most common grade 3/4 toxicities were hematologic, including neutropenia in 75.0% of the 21 patients despite prophylactic administration of G-CSF, febrile neutropenia in 30.0%, and thrombocytopenia in 10.0%, respectively. Regarding non-hematologic grade 3/4 toxicities, hepatitis occurred in one patient (5.0%) from HCV reactivation, intestinal perforation involving the lymphoma in one patient (5.0%). There was no treatment-related mortality. We had conducted a phase II study of VNCOP-B therapy in 16 elderly patients with aggressive B-NHL (Gan To Kagaku Ryoho2005;32:39–44, in Japanese). Against this historical comparison, the present protocol seemed better in PFS than that without rituximab (3-year PFS: 82.6% versus 56.0%, P=0.11), although OS was almost the same (3-year OS: 76.4% versus 73.4%, P=0.22). [Conclusion] Although our enrolled patients were quite elderly with a median age of 73 years, and half of them had a poor prognosis index, VNCOP-B combined with rituximab was well tolerated and showed promise.

Abstract Prognosis of refractory and relapsed ALL is poor and its improvement requires the introduction of novel agents with a new mechanism of action. Bortezomib (BTZ) as proteasome inhibitor is such an agent, and has been shown to be safe as single agent in phase I studies in children with either solid tumors (Blaney 2004) or leukemias (Horton 2007). Recently, Messinger (2012) reported in a single-arm study that BTZ can be combined safely with vincristine (VCR), dexamethasone (DXM), pegylated asparaginase (PEG-ASP) and doxorubicin and that the combination was remarkably effective in B-cell precursor ALL. BTZ has been reported to sensitise malignant cells to other agents, both in vitro for leukemias as well as for multiple myeloma patients in vivo. In patients with ALL, the sensitizing effect of BTZ regarding the efficacy of glucocorticoids (GC) has not been addressed yet. Considering the lack of any clinical experience with BTZ in children, we developed a European multicenter feasibility and phase II study in refractory or relapsed ALL, in which all patients receive BTZ, with day 8 peripheral blast count as primary endpoint. The study is performed in compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Patients are randomised for BTZ to be administered “early”, or “late”. Bortezomib is then given as iv push for 4 doses at 1.3 mg/m2/dose, thus in group “early” on days 1, 4, 8 and 11 and in group “late” on days 8, 11, 15 and 18. In addition, all patients receive DXM (10 mg/m2/day in 3 doses for 2 weeks, orally or iv) and VCR (1.5 mg/m2/dose with a maximum of 2 mg as 1-hour infusion on days 8 and 15), as well as one intrathecal administration of methotrexate (MTX, dose age-adjusted) on day 1. No ASP and no anthracycline is given. Cycles can be repeated in case of a good response. Eligible patients have 2nd or greater relapsed ALL, 1strelapsed ALL after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) in CR1, or refractory first relapsed ALL, and bone marrow (BM) involvement and at least 100 leukemic cells per µl blood. Exclusion criteria include symptomatic CNS leukemia. It is planned to evaluate 24 fully evaluable randomised patients. This analysis, not being an official interim-analysis and not evaluating the primary endpoint of the study, focusses on haematological responses with this modestly intensive regimen. BM M1 indicates <5% blasts, M2 5-15% and M3>15% blasts. Between October 2010 and March 2014, a total of 21 eligible patients with information on response and/or toxicity after cycle 1 has been enrolled, 11 boys and 10 girls, median 9.8 years of age (range, 1.2 – 17.5). Most had second relapsed ALL (n=11), others first relapsed ALL following allo-SCT in CR1 (n=8) or refractory first relapsed ALL (n=2). Regarding efficacy, 17 patients were evaluable (1 patient no material received, 2 patients discontinued treatment due to toxicity, and 1 patient had early progression which led to treatment discontinuation). Day 22 BM showed M1 in 5, M2 in 6, and M3 in 6 patients. There was no relation between day 22 BM status and the administration of BTZ being early or late. There was no association between response and disease status, being either refractory or relapsed, although numbers are small. Two patients with a relapse after allo-SCT achieved BM M1, as well as 3 patients with a second or subsequent relapse. Four patients (23.5%) achieved hematological remission after cycle 1, while 11 out of 17 patients (65%) had a good initial response (day 22 BM M1 or M2). A total of 10 patients received a 2ndcycle and 5 out of them achieved a complete remission, 4 of whom already had a day 22 BM M1. Eight out of 21 (38%) patients suffered from grade 3 and/or 4 toxicity during cycle 1, and most frequently reported were pain (n=4), peripheral neuropathy and fatigue (n=2 each). After 2 cycles, grade 3/4 toxicity was reported in 3 out of 10 patients: one with peripheral neuropathy, one with peripheral neuropathy, haemorrhage and hematuria, and one with raised ALAT. Future analyses will focus on sensitisation to GC by BTZ and on the efficacy of BTZ in relation to PK and PD. Meanwhile, BTZ in combination with VCR, DXM and intrathecal MTX is effective in a significant subset of pediatric relapsed and refractory ALL, and repetitive cycles could be given in several children without undue toxicity.
