650 Background: Medical treatment of patients (pts) with mnccRCC remains uncertain, with no established standard treatment. In addition, no data on late line of treatment have been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate clinical outcome for patients receiving 3L therapy in mnccRCC Methods: Retrospective data analysis was performed using the IGRECC (Institut Gustave Roussy REnal Cell Carcinoma) database to describe clinical features and outcomes of 3L therapy in mnccRCC pts. Kaplan Meier estimation was applied for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) Results: Out of all pts with mRCC treated with a targeted therapy from 2005 to 2016, 202/1027 (20%) had mnccRCC. 117 (58%) received 2L therapy and 62 (30%) received 3L therapy. These pts had papillary RCC (61%), unclassified RCC (19), Xp11translocation renal cell carcinoma (13%) and chromophobe tumors (7%). The most common 3L therapies were: everolimus (29%), sorafenib (18%), other drugs in clinical trials (16%), sunitinib (11%), axitinib (10%) and cabozantinib (10%). Baseline characteristics are displayed in Table 1. With a median follow-up of 47 months (mo) (min: 0.7 max: 74), the median PFS is 5 mo (95%CI 2.7 - 5.8) and the median OS is 11.7 mo (95%CI 10 - 20). Pts with a favourable, intermediate and poor risk International Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer Database Consortium (IMDC) score had a median OS of 21 mo (95%CI 8 – NR), 11.9 mo (95%CI 10 – 25), and 6.2 mo (95%CI 2 – 8), respectively (p < 0.0001). One patient (2%) obtained a partial response and 26 pts (51%) achieved a stable disease, among 51 evaluable pts Conclusions: This is the first report investigating the impact of 3L systemic therapy in a rare population. Selected pts could benefit of more lines of therapy and IMDC score appears to stratify well prognostic groups, especially poor risk patients. [Table: see text]

647 Background: During the last decade, 10 agents have been approved for the treatment of patients (pts) with mccRCC, and guidelines have been developed up to 3L. The aim of the study is to describe the potential benefit of therapies beyond 3L in clinical practice Methods: Retrospective data analysis was performed using IGRECC (Institut Gustave Roussy REnal Cell Carcinoma) database to describe clinical features and outcomes beyond 3L in mccRCC. Kaplan Meier estimation was applied for progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) Results: Between 2005 and 2016, 825 (80%) pts had mccRCC and were treated with targeted therapies, of which 517 (63%) had 2L, 271 (33%) had 3L, 145 (18%) had 4L and 75 (9%) had 5L of therapy. Baseline characteristics and treatments are displayed in Table 1. With a median follow-up of 29 months (mo) (min: 20 max: 51), for patients receiving 4L, the median PFS is 5 mo (95%CI 4 – 6) and the median OS is 15.5 mo (95%CI 12 – 21). Pts with International Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer Database Consortium (IMDC) score favourable (18%), intermediate (59%), and poor risk (23%) at 4L initiation had a median OS of 24 mo (95%CI 11 – NR), 16 mo (95%CI 12.6 – 24), and 8 mo (95%CI 6 – 15), respectively (p < 0.0036). Partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD) were achieved in 13% and 56% of 122 evaluable pts. With a median follow-up of 16 mo (min: 13 max: 37) in 5L, the median PFS is 4.5 mo (95%CI 3 – 6) and the median OS is 19.5 mo (95%CI 11 - 28). Pts with a poor IMDC score risk at 5L initiation (33%) had a median OS of 7 mo (95%CI 3 – 10) (p < 0.0001). PR and SD were achieved in 16% and 52% of 55 evaluable pts in 5L Conclusions: The approved agents remain active as 4L or 5L options for mccRCC in pts who can reach this situation. Interestingly, both PFS and OS appear to be very similar in 4L and 5L as compared to 3L. Therefore, we believe that selected pts may derive benefit from these treatments beyond the barriers of regulatory or reimbursement approval [Table: see text]

Introduction: Limited data exists on utilization of protein post-translational modifications as biomarkers for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). We employed high-throughput glycoproteomics to evaluate differential expression of glycoprotein-isoforms as novel markers for ccRCC progression-free survival (PFS). Methods: Plasma samples were obtained from 77 patients treated surgically for ccRCC. Glycoproteomic analyses were carried out after liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Age-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were constructed to evaluate PFS. Optimized Harrells c-index was employed to dichotomize the collective for the construction of Kaplan-Meier curves. Results: The average length of follow-up was 3.4 (range: 0.04-9.83) years. Glycoproteomic analysis identified 39 glycopeptides and 14 non-glycosylated peptides that showed statistically significant (false discovery rate p ≤0.05) differential expression associated with PFS. Five of the glycosylated peptides conferred continuous hazard ratio of > 6 (range 6.3-11.6). These included prothrombin A2G2S glycan motif (HR=6.47, P=9.53E-05), immunoglobulin J chain FA2G2S2 motif (HR=10.69, P=0.001), clusterin A2G2 motif (HR=7.38, P=0.002), complement component C8A A2G2S2 motif (HR=11.59, P=0.002), and apolipoprotein M glycopeptide with non-fucosylated and non-sialylated hybrid-type glycan (HR=6.30, P=0.003). Kaplan-Meier curves based on dichotomous expression of these five glycopeptides resulted in hazard ratios of 3.9-10.7, all with p-value < 0.03. Kaplan-Meyer plot using the multivariable model comprising 3 of the markers yielded HR of 11.96 (p <0.0001). Conclusion: Differential glyco-isoform abundance of plasma proteins may be a useful source of biomarkers for the clinical course and prognosis of ccRCC.

The discovery of a relationship for the VHL tumor suppressor gene, hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha, and vascular endothelial growth factor in the growth of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has identified a pathway for novel targeted therapy. This study evaluated the impact of these agents on metastatic RCC (mRCC), and highlights recent phase II and III trials. A systematic review examined the clinical data for novel targeted agents in mRCC, with a focus on randomized phase II and III trials of the novel targeted agents sunitinib, temsirolimus, sorafenib, and bevacizumab. Several agents, including the small-molecule targeted inhibitors sunitinib, temsirolimus, sorafenib, and the monoclonal antibody bevacizumab, have demonstrated antitumor activity in randomized trials. Superior activity was found with sunitinib and temsirolimus versus cytokines in first-line therapy. Improved progression-free survival was reported with sorafenib and bevacizumab given second-line compared with placebo. Targeted therapies show promising activity in this disease, and they have been changing patient management. Sunitinib and sorafenib were recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment of mRCC, These drugs are currently included in clinical practice.

Cabozantinib is a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor used for the treatment of various solid-organ tumours. It was recently approved as a first- and second-line therapeutic for the management of advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma based on the results of two randomised controlled trials. The phase III METEOR trial compared cabozantinib against everolimus as a second- or greater line therapy and found benefits in progression-free and overall survival, and the phase II CABOSUN trial compared cabozantinib against sunitinib as a first-line therapeutic and found benefits in terms of progression-free survival. This review briefly summarises how cabozantinib fits into current treatment paradigms for the management of advanced renal cell carcinoma.

4576 Background: TITAN-RCC uses a tailored immunotherapy approach in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), starting with nivolumab (nivo) induction followed by nivo + ipilimumab (ipi) as immunotherapeutic “boost” in non-responders. Patients with initial partial or complete response (PR/CR) continued with nivo maintenance but received later “boosts” for progressive disease (PD). Here we report updated results focusing on the efficacy of nivo+ipi in patients with initial PD vs. initial responders with later PD. Methods: Patients with IMDC intermediate and poor risk advanced clear cell RCC were recruited between OCT 2016 and DEC 2018. Patients started with nivo 240 mg Q2W induction. Patients with early significant PD (week 8) or non-responders at week 16 received 2-4 nivo+ipi “boost” cycles. Responders (PR/CR) to nivo monotherapy continued with maintenance but could receive nivo+ipi for later PD. The primary endpoint is confirmed investigator assessed objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST in first line (1L) and second line (2L). Secondary endpoints included activity of nivo monotherapy, remission rate with nivo+ipi “boost”, safety and overall survival (OS). Results: 109 1L and 98 2L (after TKI) patients were analyzed for efficacy. Median age was 65 years (range 20-87). 71 % were intermediate and 25 % poor risk. Confirmed ORR with nivo monotherapy was 28 % for 1L and 17 % for 2L. After a median follow-up of 12.8 months best overall response after nivo induction ± nivo+ipi was 36 % in 1L and 30 % in 2L. Of all patients, 38 received nivo+ipi for stable disease (SD) up to week 16, with 1 (3 %), 4 (11 %) and 26 (68 %) achieving CR, PR and SD, respectively. 28 patients in 1L and 43 in 2L were boosted with nivo+ipi for initial PD. Of these, 3 (11 %) and 8 (29 %) achieved PR and SD, respectively, in 1L, whereas 3 (7.0 %) achieved CR, 6 (14 %) PR and 13 (30 %) SD in 2L. 16 and 10 patients received “boosts” later than week 16 for PD during nivo maintenance in 1L and 2L, respectively. Thereof, 3 (19 %) achieved PR and 5 (31 %) SD in 1L, whereas 2 (20 %) achieved PR and 3 (30 %) SD in 2L. Progression-free survival was 6.3 months (95 % CI 3.7 – 10.1) and 3.7 months (95 % CI 2.0 - 4.5) in 1L and 2L, respectively. OS was 27.2 months (95 % CI 19.9 – not estimable (NE)) in 1L and 20.2 months (95 % CI 15.6 – NE) in 2L. Treatment-related adverse events will be presented. Conclusions: Our tailored approach with nivo+ipi “boosts” results in improved response rates compared to nivo monotherapy. Our updated analysis suggests that almost half of the patients receiving “boosts” for PD improve to either PR/CR (18 %) or SD (30 %), irrespective of initial or later progression with nivo. Clinical trial information: NCT02917772. [Table: see text]

370 Background: Transcriptional inactivation and CGI methylation of GATA3 and −5 has been reported to be involved in mammary carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, colorectal and gastric carcinogenesis. A recent study demonstrated that a loss of GATA-3 expression due to partially methylation silencing in several renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. We quantitatively investigated GATA3 and −5 CGI methylation in RCC and analyzed its association with clinical characteristics as well as progression free survival of patients. Methods: Methylation data were obtained from a quantitative methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction assay (QMSP) for both genes. We investigated 108 RCC and 77 paired tissue samples as well as six RCC cell lines. Statistical analyses were carried out using the paired t-test for matched tumor (TU) and adjacent normal (adN) samples, logistic regression for comparisons of independent samples and cox regression for survival analysis. Results: In paired samples we found a significant higher methylation in TU compared to adN for GATA3 (P=0.007) and for GATA5 (P=3.6*10−9) for all RCCs. GATA5 showed also strong correlations between methylation and status of metastasis (P=0.05) and advanced (pT≥3 and/or N+, M+) tumor samples compared to localized (pT≤2, N0, M0) tumors (P=4.7*10−9). A decreased progression free survival in cox proportional hazard model analysis could be demonstrated for patients with a high GATA5 methylation (P=0.0006, HR=6.5) and a trend could also be seen for GATA3 methylated patients (P=0.06). Conclusions: GATA3 and −5 were identified to demonstrate tumor-specific CGI hypermethylation in renal cell cancer patients. The association of GATA5 CGI methylation with metastasis, advanced disease and progression free survival of patients indicates that epigenetic alterations of both genes are involved in renal cell carcinogenesis. GATA5 methylation could serve as a biomarker for tumor progression. Further prospective and functional investigations are necessary to clarify whether CGI methylation of GATA family members can provide independent information for future clinical management of patients with RCC.
