755 Background: Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer undergoing systemic therapy may enter an oligoprogressive state. Traditionally, local ablative therapy (LAT) has been limited to symptom palliation. We hypothesize that LAT for oligoprogressive lesions with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a feasible alternative to surgical interventions and may delay progression of disease. Methods: An IRB-approved retrospective review of patients with oligoprogressive, metastatic colorectal cancer who were treated with SBRT at Georgetown University Hospital from 2012-2016 was performed. Results: 40 patients with 41 metastatic lesions of the lung (n = 11), liver (n = 10), lymph nodes (n = 8), soft tissue (n = 6), and bone (n = 6) were reviewed. Median follow-up, overall survival, and freedom from distant progression were 10.6, 17.3, and 6.4 months, respectively. Crude one year local control and overall survival were 82.9% and 75%, respectively. First site of progression was distally in 63.4% of patients. Patients treated with SBRT in the liver were significantly more likely to locally progress than other treated sites (13.18 vs. 39.81 months, p = 0.007). On univariate analysis, non-lymph node treated tumors (p = 0.046), larger CEA change at 6 month follow-up (p = 0.048), and right sided primary tumors (p = 0.004) were associated with local failure within 1 year. On multivariate analysis, only right sided primary tumors were significantly more likely to locally progress (p = 0.009). Conclusions: Patients with oligoprogressive colorectal cancer can be effectively treated with SBRT to achieve acceptable rates of local control and potentially delay progression of disease.

PurposeSurgical resection is standard therapy in stage I non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, many patients are inoperable due to comorbid diseases. Building on a previously reported phase I trial, we carried out a prospective phase II trial using stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in this population.Patients and MethodsEligible patients included clinically staged T1 or T2 (≤ 7 cm), N0, M0, biopsy-confirmed NSCLC. All patients had comorbid medical problems that precluded lobectomy. SBRT treatment dose was 60 to 66 Gy total in three fractions during 1 to 2 weeks.ResultsAll 70 patients enrolled completed therapy as planned and median follow-up was 17.5 months. The 3-month major response rate was 60%. Kaplan-Meier local control at 2 years was 95%. Altogether, 28 patients have died as a result of cancer (n = 5), treatment (n = 6), or comorbid illnesses (n = 17). Median overall survival was 32.6 months and 2-year overall survival was 54.7%. Grade 3 to 5 toxicity occurred in a total of 14 patients. Among patients experiencing toxicity, the median time to observation was 10.5 months. Patients treated for tumors in the peripheral lung had 2-year freedom from severe toxicity of 83% compared with only 54% for patients with central tumors.ConclusionHigh rates of local control are achieved with this SBRT regimen in medically inoperable patients with stage I NSCLC. Both local recurrence and toxicity occur late after this treatment. This regimen should not be used for patients with tumors near the central airways due to excessive toxicity.

2054 Background: Recurrent GBM (rGBM) is a diffuse disease, and resection (R) alone does not provide durable local control (LC) or prolong overall survival (OS). Hypothesizing R plus immediate radiation (RT) may achieve durable LC and secondarily improve OS by permitting time for subsequent potentially effective but biologically slower treatments to have an impact, we prospectively evaluated R combined with a novel surgically targeted radiation therapy (STaRT) device utilizing Cs-131 embedded in bioresorbable collagen tiles. Methods: From 2/13-2/18 patients (pts) with locally recurrent GBM were treated on a prospective single arm trial (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT#03088579) of maximum safe resection and immediate RT (GammaTile, GT Medical Technologies, Tempe AZ). Upon resection the at-risk areas of the surgical bed were lined with the GammaTile (GT) device, delivering 60-80 Gy at 5 mm. Follow up treatments were not specified but captured; no pt. underwent additional local therapy without progression, and no pt. was lost to follow up. We present study specified endpoints of local control (LC), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AE), and a post hoc, hypothesis-generating analysis of outcomes by receipt of systemic (Sys) therapy. Results: 28 locally recurrent GBM were treated, 20 at first progression (range 1-3). Median age was 58 years (yrs.) (range 21-80), KPS 80 (60-100), female: male ratio 10:18 (36/64%). MGMT was methylated in 11%, unmethylated in 18%, and unknown in 71%. For all pts., median OS was 10.7 months (mo.) (range.1-42.3), and radiographic LC was 8.8 mo. (range.01-34.5). LC (defined as < 15 mm from surgical bed) was maintained in 50% of pts., and no first failure was local. 12 mo. OS was 75% for pts. < 50 yrs. vs. 43% for > 50 yrs. (HR.46, p =.009). MGMT, KPS, and sex were non-predictive. After R+GT, 17 pts. received > 1 cycle of systemic therapy (Sys), either as adjuvant or salvage, alone or in combination . Sys was bevacizumab (BEV) in 15 pts., temozolomide (TMZ) in 12, and lomustine (CCNU) in 8 (N > 17 as some pts. received > 1 Sys). Post hoc analysis disclosed a 15.1 mo. OS for pts. receiving > 1 cycle of Sys (Sys+, N = 17) vs. 6.5 mo. for no Sys (Sys-, N = 11) (hazard ratio (HR).38, p =.017)). LC was 11.4 mo. for Sys+ and 2.1 mo. for Sys- (HR.44; p =.16)). Median OS (mo.) for BEV+ vs. BEV- was 16.7/4.5 (HR.38, p =.017), for TMZ+ vs. TMZ- 17.5/6.7 (HR.40, p =.025) and for CCNU+ vs. CCNU- 17.5/7.9 (HR.61, p =.25), respectively. Three attributed AE occurred, 1 dehiscence requiring surgery and 2 radiation brain effects, medically treated. 4 unrelated deaths occurred < 60 days post-op, all in the Sys- cohort, impacting their opportunity for subsequent treatment. Conclusions: In this study local treatment alone was insufficient to achieve prolonged OS. Post hoc analysis suggests R+GT coupled with Sys may have potential to impact OS in rGBM patients. GT was FDA cleared in 2020 for use in newly diagnosed malignant and all recurrent intracranial neoplasms. Clinical trial information: NCT#03088579.

Abstract We retrospectively investigated the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for T1N0M0 lung cancer using CyberKnife (CK) among 13 patients with severe pulmonary dysfunction which was defined as forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1.0) of &lt;1 L. The prescribed dose was 54 Gy in 3 fractions but adjusted for some patients if their tumors were in close proximity to the organs at risk (54 Gy/3 fractions: n = 11; 50 Gy/5 fractions: n = 1; 60 Gy/8 fractions: n = 1). During follow up (median follow-up: 27 months), we evaluated local control, overall survival and toxicity, using diagnostic imaging and laboratory tests. The patients’ median FEV1.0 was 0.84 L. Of the 13 patients, 3 were diagnosed as having lung cancer histologically and 10 diagnosed clinically. Their 2-year rates for overall survival and local control were 89 and 100%, respectively. So far, we have seen no adverse effects of grade 2 or higher. We concluded that CK-SBRT is effective and well tolerated for T1N0M0 lung cancer, even in patients with severe pulmonary dysfunction, but should be further evaluated with a larger cohort and longer follow-up periods.

e14157 Background: Preoperative chemoradiotherapy is currently the standard of care for patients with distal rectal cancer. With Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), more conformal doses of radiation can be delivered to tumor while sparing normal tissue. It is our intent to present updated data showing 5 year follow up on patients treated concurrently with chemotherapy and IMRT reporting on local control, overall survival, and toxicity. Methods: From April 2007 to February of 2012 a sequential retrospective study of 42 patients at Lankenau Medical Center were treated for distal rectal cancer using IMRT. Patients staged from T2N0M0 to T3N1M0 and all received 5580 cGy to the pelvis using a 9 field plan to tumor, involved and uninvolved lymph nodes. All but one patient received 5FU based chemotherapy and four patients also received oxaliplatin. All patients then went on to surgery 8 – 12 weeks following neoadjuvant therapy. Twenty six patients underwent transabdominal transanal mesorectal (TATA) resection, 9 patients underwent a transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM), and 1 patient had an open low anterior resection. 3 patients have yet to go to surgery. FOLFOX was given to 25 of 42 patients adjuvently. Patients were analyzed for local control (LC), median survival (MS), overall survival (OS), and toxicity. Results: The median follow-up was 35 months. Complete pathological response was achieved in 12 (30.7%) patients, partial response was achieved in 25 (64%) patients, and 2 had stable disease at the time of surgery. There were no patients with local failure and only six (14%) patients progressed with distant metastatic disease. OS at 5 years was 92.8% with a MS of 37 months. Toxicity was acceptable with eight patients with grade 1, 5 patients with grade 2, and 3 grade 3 diarrhea. There were 3 (7%) patients with grade 1 neutropenia. Three patients experienced disease related death. Conclusions: With 5 years of follow-up data, our experience has shown that neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy using IMRT to treat advanced stage rectal cancer is well tolerated and effective. Still further follow-up and additional studies will be required to confirm our findings.

560 Background: AMP-224, a PD-L2 Fc fusion protein, binds to PD-1, an inhibitory receptor that is present on the cell surface of exhausted, activated, effector, and memory T cells. AMP-224 has a unique mechanism of action in that it binds specifically to PD-1HI T cells (chronically stimulated / exhausted T cells) but not PD-1LO cells which represent the normal activated T cell population. Preclinical studies have documented an increase in antitumor immunity following radiation therapy (RT), but also tumor PD-L1 expression as an escape mechanism. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether inhibition of PD-1/PDL-1 axis could improve anti-tumor immunity effects of RT. Methods: Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic colorectal cancer to liver were treated with SBRT to a site of liver metastasis at 8Gy in a single fraction (DL1) or 8Gy in 3 daily fractions (DL2). All patients received AMP-224 10mg/kg IV beginning Day 1 after SBRT preceded by cyclophosphamide 200mg/m2 (D0). Primary objective was to determine the safety and feasibility of AMP-224 in combination with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to metastatic hepatic metastasis in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Mandatory pre- and post-treatment biopsies were attempted on all patients. Results: N = 17 patients with refractory metastatic CRC were enrolled. N = 2 pts were unevaluable. 6pts were treated at DL1 (8Gy x 1fraction SBRT, AMP-224 10mg/kg q2-weekly) and 9pts were treated at DL2 (8Gy x 3fractions SBRT, AMP-224 10mg/kg q2-weekly) No DLT was encountered. The most common toxicity was fatigue (G1/2) in all patients in DL2. N = 3 patients experienced G2 infusion reaction which responded to standard interventions. 5/15 pts did not complete treatment due to rapid PD. No objective responses have been seen, although N = 6 pts remain on study. Pre- and post-tumor biopsies were performed on 7 of first 11 pts. Conclusions: AMP-224 in combination with SBRT to site of colorectal hepatic metastases is safe and feasible. Preliminarily no objective responses have been seen. Full clinical and correlative data including post-therapeutic radiated and non-radiated tumor biopsies will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT02298946.
