855 Background: The rate of primary resistance to modern first line (FL) chemotherapy regimen in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is low. Progression Disease (PD) to FOLFOX in the FL is less than 15% in most trials. Prognostic factors associated with worse outcome in mCRC have been identified. However, primary resistance to Oxaliplatin (PROX) containing regimen is not well understood, as well as the role of salvage therapy in further lines of treatment. The aim of the study was to analyze clinical and pathological characteristics of patients with PROX. Methods: A retrospective, single center study included patients that presented PD in the first response evaluation with an Oxaliplatin containing regimen in the FL treatment of mCRC. We also evaluated the Overall Survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) of these patients to second and third line. Clinical and pathological variables were analyzed and correlated with (OS). Results: A total of 55 patients were inclued. Median age these cohort was 57 years. Female/Male rate was 42%/58%. Mucinous component was 27%. Right and Left colon was 27% and 66%, respectively. BRAF mutation (2/16 pts). Wild type KRAS was 44%. Synchronic metastasis was 75%. Ressection of metastasis was performed in 20%. Liver limeted disease was found in 45%. Main chemotherapy regimen containing oxaliplatin was FOLFOX (78%) in first line. Bevacizumab, Cetuximab and Panitumumab were used in 21.8%, 9%, 1.8%, respectively. OS was 9.4 months. PFS in second line 3.8 months (47 pts) and third line 3.5 months (18 pts). The only variable associated with longer survival was resection of metastasis (25.6 x 8.6 months, p=0.039). Conclusions: No clinical and pathological variable were able to predict primary resistance to Oxaliplatin containing regimen. However, we found a higher proportion of mucinous subtype. Patients submitted to resection of metastasis had almost three fold the survival of patient that did not underwent surgery. Refractory patients have a very short survival. Further lines of treatment are not able to rescue these patients. Further studies focusing in patients with primary resistance to chemotherapy in first line are needed.

Early tumor shrinkage (ETS) and depth of response (DoR) predict favorable outcomes in metastatic colorectal cancer. We aim to evaluate their prognostic role in metastatic pancreatic cancer (PC) patients treated with first-line modified-FOLFIRINOX (FOLFOXIRI) or Gemcitabine + Nab-paclitaxel (GemNab). Hence, 138 patients were tested for ETS, defined as a ≥20% reduction in the sum of target lesions’ longest diameters (SLD) after 6–8 weeks from baseline, and DoR, i.e., the maximum percentage shrinkage in the SLD from baseline. Association of ETS and DoR with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was assessed. ETS was reached in 49 patients (39.5% in the FOLFOXIRI, 29.8% in the GemNab group; p = 0.280). In the overall population, ETS was significantly associated with better PFS (8.0 vs. 4.8 months, p < 0.001) and OS (13.2 vs. 9.7 months, p = 0.001). Median DoR was −27.5% (−29.4% with FOLFOXIRI and −21.4% with GemNab, p = 0.016): DoR was significantly associated with better PFS (9.0 vs. 6.7 months, p < 0.001) and OS (14.3 vs. 11.1 months, p = 0.031). Multivariate analysis confirmed both ETS and DoR are independently associated with PFS and OS. In conclusion, our study added evidence on the role of ETS and DoR in the prediction of outcome of PC patients treated with first-line combination chemotherapy.

6092 Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are currently used to treat patients with advanced iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC) but none has been approved by the FDA or the EMA until now. Sometimes, patients are treated with off-label TKI when a clinical trial is not available or in second- and third-line therapy. Methods: We hereby report the efficacy of “off-label” sorafenib and sunitinib treatments as first-, second- and third-line therapy in metastatic DTC patients from the French TUTHYREF (TUmeurs THYroïdiennes REFractaires) network. Primary endpoints were progression free survival (PFS) and tumor response according to sequential TKI treatment. Secondary endpoint was organ-specific metastatic site analysis. Results: 45 patients with advanced iodine-refractory DTC treated with off-label TKI were included in this study (26 men, mean age: 62 years). 22 had papillary, 10 had follicular and 13 had poorly DTC. 24/45 patients were treated with two and 3/45 with three lines of TKIs. Sorafenib was the most frequently used (57%) followed by sunitinib (21.5%) and vandetanib (21.5%). Partial response (PR) rate was of 29% in the 21 patients who received first-line sorafenib therapy whereas PR was observed in 57% of the 7 first-line sunitinib patients. There was no PR with second- (n=24) and third-line (n=3) treatments. However, median progression free survival (PFS) was similar in second- as compared to first-line sorafenib or sunitinib treatment (6.7 vs. 7.6 months, HR 0.85 (95CI 0.45-1.61) p=0.6). Liver metastases were the most responsive to treatment (n=7; mean of -30%), followed by lung (n=57; mean of -19%) and lymph node (n=43; mean of -13%) metastases. Bone (n=14) and pleural (n=9) lesions were the most refractory to treatment (mean of -1% and -5%, respectively). Conclusions: Due to the small number of patients, we could not recommend a specific treatment sequence (sorafenib then sunitinib) over another (sunitinib then sorafenib). But TKI therapy appears to be beneficial in refractory DTC patients even in second- and third-line therapy, with similar PFS and stable disease as best response. Bone and pleural metastases were the most refractory and liver lesions the most responsive to treatment.

588 Background: Most cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) patients (pts) are diagnosed with advanced disease and are ineligible for surgery. FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements are present in 10–16% of pts with intrahepatic CCA (iCCA) and are reported to be oncogenic drivers. However, little data are available on the role of FGFR2 genetic alterations in the response to systemic cancer therapy. FIGHT-202 is a phase 2 study of pemigatinib (a selective, potent, oral FGFR1–3 inhibitor) in pts with previously treated advanced/metastatic CCA (NCT02924376); primary results were reported at ESMO 2019. FIGHT-202 enrolled pts who progressed on ≥1 prior therapy, allowing the examination of the role of FGFR2 alterations on the response to prior therapy. The objective of this post hoc analysis was to evaluate progression free survival (PFS) on standard systemic therapy received prior to study enrollment among pts with CCA harboring FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements ( FGFR2+). Methods: Case report forms were reviewed to determine disease history and exposure to prior lines of systemic cancer therapies (LOSCT) in the advanced setting before receiving pemigatinib. Only pts with sufficient data on prior LOSCT were included in this analysis. Median PFS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: 102 pts were included in this analysis (median age 54.5, 61.8% female). Median PFS on first-line therapy was 5.5 (95% CI: 4.0, 8.0) months. Among the 38 pts (37.3%) with ≥2 prior LOSCT, median PFS on second-line therapy was 4.4 (95% CI: 3.0, 5.3) months. Conclusions: This analysis provides data about PFS on standard systemic therapies for pts with FGFR2+ CCA. Median PFS on first-line therapy was lower than historical published data, and median PFS on second-line therapy was slightly longer than previously reported, in unselected CCA populations. Limitations of this analysis include retrospective examination of investigator reported data, and that clinical trial participants may not truly reflect a general CCA patient population. The short PFS on standard therapies in pts with FGFR2+ CCA highlights the need for development of other options including targeted therapies to improve outcomes.

49 Background: Elderly patients with mCRC are underrepresented in clinical trials. For this reason, the optimal treatment in this population is uncertain. The aim of this study is to compare efficacy and safety outcomes in patients with mCRC treated in our institution according to age (<65 vs ≥65 years). Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 482 patients with mCRC attended in the Hospital Gregorio Marañón (Spain) between January 2010 and 2018. Results: Patients characteristics table. First-line: chemotherapy (CT) 98.7% vs 97.3% respectively (p=0.324), biologic agents (BA) 81.2% vs 79.0% (p=0.585). Significantly more <65-year-old patients received FOLFOX (60.5% vs 44.4%) and more ≥65-year-old patients XELOX (9.2% vs 17.5%) or capecitabine (2.0% vs 7.5%). Second-line: CT 64.9% vs 63.5% (p=0.764), BA 60.4% vs 51.1% (p=0.055). Significantly more <65-year-old patients received FOLFIRI (67.0% vs 54.5%) and more ≥65-year-old patients irinotecan (2.0% vs 8.6%). Third and subsequent lines: Significantly more young patients received a third-line (CT: 41.6% vs 31.0%; BA: 24% vs 21.6%), fourth-line (CT: 22.1% vs 11.9%; BA:16.2% vs 6.4%) and fifth-line of treatment (CT: 11.7% vs 5.8%; BA: 4.5% vs 3.6%). More young patients underwent metastasis resection (74.0% vs 58.1%, p=0.001). There were no differences in rate of post-operative complications (p=0.840). There were no differences in overall survival (36.05m vs 28.06, p=0.142), progression-free-survival (first-line: 12.73m vs 11.78m, p=0.139; second-line: 8.78m vs 62.71m, p=0.254) or adverse event rate (73.4% vs 73.6%, p=0.967). Conclusions: Intensive treatment could be an effectiveness and safe option in selected elderly patients. [Table: see text]

4631 Background: Several novel targeted agents significantly prolong overall survival (OS) in metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) patients (pts.). Translational research, however, has not identified any prospectively validated prognostic or predictive biomarkers. Recently, progression free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR) and early tumor shrinkage were proposed as putative predictors for clinical outcome. In this study we aim to explore the potential role of treatment induced tumor remission as a prognostic or predictive parameter in mRCC. Methods: In our analyses we investigated the putative prognostic role of best response according to RECIST 1.1 criteria (complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), stable disease (SD), progressive disease (PD)) in first line Tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment in n=83 pts. Responders were defined by achieving CR, PR or SD at any time during the course of treatment. Furthermore, we tested whether tumor shrinkage of 10% or more within 12 weeks of treatment qualifies as a potential cut-off-parameter to predict PFS or OS. Uni- and multivariate analyses were performed using Log-rang test, Kaplan-Meier-, and Cox-regression analysis. Results: Univariate analyses revealed that first-line treatment non-responders had a significantly shorter OS than responders (p <0.0001). Tumor shrinkage of <10% or ≥10% also correlated with an OS of 14.5 vs. 29.1 mo. (p=0.001) and a PFS of 3.0 vs. 11.5 mo. (p <0.001). In multivariate analyses tumor shrinkage of ≥10% was tested with other common variables such as ECOG, MSKCC-score, histology, and metastatic sites and proved to be a significant independent prognostic (HR 0.361; 95% CI 0.156-0.833) and predictive (HR 0.306; 95% CI 0.152-0.612) parameter. Conclusions: Our results outline that sensitivity to first line treatment of mRCC is an important prognostic factor in mRCC. Hereby tumor shrinkage of ≥10% within 12 weeks of treatment reveals a novel cut-off-parameter, which showed to be a promising prognostic and predictive marker in mRCC. Further investigations are needed to validate this parameter.

Introduction Immunotherapy has become a standard treatment for lung cancer; the objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness, safety of pembrolizumab monotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer used in real-world clinical practice. Material and methods Retrospective observational study of every patient treated with pembrolizumab in our centre from January 2017 to June 2019. Outcomes collected: sex, age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, programmed death receptor 1 level, previous metastatic line therapies, adverse events and smoking status. Results A total of 62 patients were reviewed. The median age was 62.34 ± 10.62 years, 48 (77.41%) were men and 91.93% of patients had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group 0. The median dose administered was 170.5 mg (108 – 240 mg) and the median follow-up was 3 months (range: 1 – 38). A median of four cycles of pembrolizumab (range: 1 – 56) were administered as monotherapy. The reason for treatment discontinuation was mainly due to disease progression in 38.70% of patients or death in 30.64%. As first-line pembrolizumab monotherapy, median progression-free survival was 7.7 months (95% CI: 3.66 – 11.73) ( N = 33). With respect to patients who were treated in second–third-line treatment, median progression-free survival was 3.5 months (95% CI: 2.40 – 4.59) ( N=29). As to overall survival, pembrolizumab-treated patients as first-line treatment reached 19 months median OG (95% CI: 13.36 – 24.63) ( N = 33) and those treated in second–third-line treatment got 11 months (95% CI: 3.4 – 18.5). A total of 64.51% of patients presented some adverse events to pembrolizumab however, only, 9.38% of them were grade 3. Conclusion Pembrolizumab represents an effective and feasible alternative in terms of progression-free survival. It is a well-tolerated treatment option.

Objective. Patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) have a poor prognosis. Platinum-based combination chemotherapy is commonly used as first-line treatment; however, the role of salvage chemotherapy remains unknown. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of amrubicin monotherapy in patients with platinum-refractory gastroenteropancreatic NEC.Methods. Among 22 patients with advanced gastroenteropancreatic NEC, 10 received amrubicin monotherapy between September 2007 and May 2014 after failure of platinum-based chemotherapy. The efficacy and toxicity of the treatment were analyzed retrospectively.Results. Eight males and two females (median age, 67 years (range, 52–78)) received platinum-based chemotherapy, including cisplatin plus irinotecan (n=7, 70%), cisplatin plus etoposide (n=2, 20%), and carboplatin plus etoposide (n=1, 10%) before amrubicin therapy. Median progression-free survival and overall survival after amrubicin therapy were 2.6 and 5.0 months, respectively. Two patients had partial response (20% response rate), and their PFS were 6.2 months and 6.3 months, respectively. Furthermore, NEC with response for amrubicin had characteristics with a high Ki-67 index and receipt of prior chemotherapy with cisplatin and irinotecan. Grade 3-4 neutropenia and anemia were observed in four and five patients, respectively.Conclusion. Amrubicin monotherapy appears to be potentially active and well-tolerated for platinum-refractory gastroenteropancreatic NEC.

Carcinosarcoma of the pancreas is a rare entity with short case series reported in the literature. Diagnosis is established by immunohistochemical examination including both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components. Prognosis is usually limited to 6-9 months life expectancy. Standard chemotherapy regimen is not well defined. We present a case of pancreatic carcinosarcoma with long-time progression-free-survival under first line chemotherapy treatment with gemcitabine-nabpaclitaxel combination. Tumor histopathological and clinical characteristics are reviewed.

Here, we present the case of a 78-year-old male patient with undifferentiated spindle cell sarcoma on the posteromedial surface of the right leg who experienced a long-lasting progression-free survival. Due to an underlying cardiac disease, the patient was not suitable for anthracyclines. In September 2015, he received first-line chemotherapy with trabectedin (Yondelis®) at the approved dosage and regimen – concomitant with external radiotherapy (RT). After the first 9 cycles of trabectedin plus RT given in the neoadjuvant setting, the patient underwent surgical resection. At that stage, we observed a very good pathological response with 80% of necrotic area. The patient resumed the therapy with trabectedin; however, approximately 5 months later, we observed a new nodular heterogeneous lesion with ill-defined margins in the right leg and suggestive of tumor relapse. Subsequently an above-the-knee amputation was performed, and the patient resumed his trabectedin therapy with the same dosage and regimen. In January 2018, almost 2 1/2 years after the start of trabectedin treatment and 30+ cycles of trabectedin, the patient is locoregionally and distant metastatically disease-free. Currently, the treatment with trabectedin is maintained without any significant serious toxicity. Future clinical trials are needed to gain additional insights into the role of trabectedin maintenance therapy until disease progression in the neoadjuvant setting and to identify predictive and prognostic criteria for response to trabectedin in patients with advanced sarcoma.

In previous studies on localized GISTs, KIT exon 11 deletions and mutations involving codons 557/558 showed an adverse prognostic influence on recurrence-free survival. In the metastatic setting, there are limited data on how mutation type and codon location might contribute to progression-free survival (PFS) variability to first-line imatinib treatment. We analyzed the type and gene location of KIT and PDGFRA mutations for 206 patients from a GIST System database prospectively collected at an Italian reference center between January 2005 and September 2020. By describing the mutational landscape, we focused on clinicopathological characteristics according to the critical mutations and investigated the predictive role of type and gene location of the KIT exon 11 mutations in metastatic patients treated with first-line imatinib. Our data showed a predictive impact of KIT exon 11 pathogenic variant on PFS to imatinib treatment: patients with deletion or insertion/deletion (delins) in 557/558 codons had a shorter PFS (median PFS: 24 months) compared to the patients with a deletion in other codons, or duplication/insertion/SNV (median PFS: 43 and 49 months, respectively) (p < 0.001). These results reached an independent value in the multivariate model, which showed that the absence of exon 11 deletions or delins 557/558, the female gender, primitive tumor diameter (≤5 cm) and polymorphonuclear leucocytosis (>7.5 109/L) were significant prognostic factors for longer PFS. Analysis of the predictive role of PDGFRA PVs showed no significant results. Our results also confirm the aggressive biology of 557/558 deletions/delins in the metastatic setting and allow for prediction at the baseline which GIST patients would develop resistance to first-line imatinib treatment earlier.
