TPS530 Background: Radical cystectomy remains the gold standard treatment for invasive non metastatic transitional cell cancer of the bladder. Perioperative chemotherapy (adjuvant ou neoadjuvant) has been developed to increase overall survival. However, the chemotherapy administration time and optimal chemotherapy regimen are not yet determined. As DD-MVAC has been shown to be associated with higher response rates in bladder metastatic disease, also a better efficacy can be suspected in the perioperative setting. Methods: We designed a randomized phase III study to compare the efficacy of GC and DD-MVAC in term of progression-free survival in patients for whom chemotherapy has been decided, before or after radical cystectomy (disease defined by a T2, T3 or T4a N0 M0 stadification for patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy or pT3 or pT4 or pN+ and M0 for patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy). Secondary endpoints include overall survival, side effects, response rate in the neoadjuvant setting. Main exclusion criteria were histological variants (pure adenocarcinoma or pure epidermoid carcinoma or pure or mixed small-cell neuro-endocrine carcinoma) and ventricular ejection fraction under 50%. The total number of patients projected was 500 based on the median progression-free survival rate of 50% at 3 years observed in patients treated with GC (standard arm A) in the perioperative setting. An absolute improvement of 10% (HR = 0.74) was expected with DD-MVAC (experimental arm B) with a = 0.05 and b = 0.20. In October 2017, 460 patients have been included. An interim analysis is planned after the occurrence of 174 events. With an estimated uniform accrual rate of 140 patients per year for 3.5 years and exponential survival, the final analysis is expected to occur 8 years after the start of the trial. Concomitant ancillary study has also started, focusing on the identification of subgroups for muscle invasive bladder tumors sensitivity to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, as suggested by the recent MDA classification. Clinical trial information: NCT 018 12369.

Purpose There is no consensus on the optimal systemic treatment of patients with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. The IELSG-19 phase III study, to our knowledge, was the first such study to address the question of first-line treatment in a randomized trial. Patients and Methods Eligible patients were initially randomly assigned (1:1 ratio) to receive either chlorambucil monotherapy (6 mg/m2/d orally on weeks 1 to 6, 9 to 10, 13 to 14, 17 to 18, and 21 to 22) or a combination of chlorambucil (same schedule as above) and rituximab (375 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1 of weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 13, 17, and 21). After the planned enrollment of 252 patients, the protocol was amended to continue with a three-arm design (1:1:6 ratio), with a new arm that included rituximab alone (same schedule as the combination arm) and with a final sample size of 454 patients. The main end point was event-free survival (EFS). Analysis of chlorambucil versus the combination arm was performed and reported separately before any analysis of the third arm. Results At a median follow-up of 7.4 years, addition of rituximab to chlorambucil led to significantly better EFS (hazard ratio, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.38 to 0.77). EFS at 5 years was 51% (95% CI, 42 to 60) with chlorambucil alone, 50% (95% CI, 42 to 59) with rituximab alone, and 68% (95% CI, 60 to 76) with the combination ( P = .0009). Progression-free survival was also significantly better with the combination ( P = .0119). Five-year overall survival was approximately 90% in each arm. All treatments were well tolerated. No unexpected toxicities were recorded. Conclusion Rituximab in combination with chlorambucil demonstrated superior efficacy in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma; however, improvements in EFS and progression-free survival did not translate into longer overall survival.

711 Background: Modified CapeIRI (irinotecan 200 mg/m2 on day 1, capecitabine 1600 mg/m2 on days 1–14 every 3 weeks) with or without bevacizumab (± BV) has shown non-inferiority of overall survival compared with FOLFIRI ± BV based on the phase III study, AXEPT, as second-line chemotherapy for patients with mCRC. In this exploratory analysis of the AXEPT trial, we evaluated the impact of the prior chemotherapy with two different fluoropyrimidine backbones (fluorouracil and leucovorin vs oral fluoropyrimidine) on the efficacy of CapeIRI and FOLFIRI. Methods: Patients were randomized to receive standard FOLFIRI ± bevacizumab or modified CapeIRI ± bevacizumab after failure to fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy in the AXEPT study. Prior fluoropyrimidine backbones were categorized into oral fluoropyrimidine-based (eg, capecitabine or S-1) regimen (oral 5-FU group) and fluorouracil and leucovorin-based regimen (infusional 5-FU group). Assessed endpoints included overall survival, progression-free survival, response rate, and safety. Results: Prior fluoropyrimidine backbone was available for 642 patients among all 650 randomized patients (oral 5-FU group in 291, and infusional 5-FU group in 351). Median overall survival was 17.0 and 16.7 months for FOLFIRI ± BV and CapeIRI ± BV in the prior oral 5-FU group, and 14.9 and 16.7 months for FOLFIRI ± BV and CapeIRI ± BV in the prior infusional 5-FU group. Median progression-free survival was 7.9 and 8.6 months for FOLFIRI ± BV and CapeIRI ± BV in the prior oral 5-FU group, and 6.8 and 8.3 months for FOLFIRI ± BV and CapeIRI ± BV in the prior infusional 5-FU group. Conclusions: There was no significant difference in the efficacy of CapeIRI or FOLFIRI regardless of prior fluoropyrimidine backbones. Therefore, CapeIRI ± BV could also be effective for patients after failure of oral fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy (eg, CapeOX ± BV). Clinical trial information: NCT01996306. [Table: see text]

PURPOSE GEM20110714 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01528618 ), the first randomized, phase III study of systemic chemotherapy in recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), reported significant progression-free survival improvement with gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GP) versus fluorouracil plus cisplatin (FP; hazard ratio, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.68; P < .001). Data from the final analysis of overall survival (OS) are presented here. METHODS From February 2012 to October 2015, 362 patients were randomly assigned to receive either GP (gemcitabine 1 g/m2 once daily on days 1 and 8 and cisplatin 80 mg/m2 once daily on day 1; n = 181) or FP (fluorouracil 4 g/m2 in continuous intravenous infusion over 96 hours and cisplatin 80 mg/m2 once daily on day 1; n = 181) once every 21 days. The primary end point was progression-free survival, which has been previously reported; OS was a secondary end point. RESULTS After a median follow-up time of 69.5 months with GP and 69.7 months with FP, 148 (81.8%) and 166 (91.7%) deaths occurred in the GP and FP arms, respectively. The estimated hazard ratio for OS was 0.72 (95% CI, 0.58 to 0.90; two-sided P = .004). The median OS was 22.1 months (95% CI, 19.2 to 25.0 months) with GP versus 18.6 months (95% CI, 15.4 to 21.7 months) with FP. The OS probabilities at 1, 3, and 5 years were 79.9% versus 71.8%, 31.0% versus 20.4%, and 19.2% versus 7.8%, respectively. Poststudy therapy was administered in 51.9% and 55.2% of patients in the GP and FP arms, respectively. CONCLUSION Among patients with previously untreated advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, those who receive GP have longer OS than those receive FP. Gemcitabine plus cisplatin should be considered a preferred front-line option for these patients.

Abstract A randomized phase III trial in Japan commenced in June 2019. The present standard treatment for newly diagnosed glioblastoma is maximal resection followed by chemoradiotherapy with temozolomide. The purpose of this study is to confirm the superiority of maximal resection with carmustine wafer implantation followed by chemoradiotherapy with temozolomide over the standard maximal resection followed by chemoradiotherapy with temozolomide in terms of overall survival for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. A total of 250 patients will be accrued from 35 Japanese institutions in 5.5 years. Patients with &gt;90% surgical resection will be registered and randomly assigned to each group with 1:1 allocation. The primary endpoint is overall survival and the secondary endpoints are progression-free survival, loco-regional progression-free survival and incidence of adverse events. This trial has been registered in the Japan Registry of Clinical Trial, as jRCT1031190035 [https://jrct.niph.go.jp/en-latest-detail/jRCT1031190035].

BackgroundThere is mounting pre-clinical and clinical evidence that combinations of immunotherapy, specifically programed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibition, with chemotherapy and anti-angiogenesis agents, such as bevacizumab, result in markedly improved outcomes across a variety of tumor types including endometrial cancer, renal cell cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. IMagyn050/GOG 3015/ENGOT-OV39 is the first, randomized, phase III trial to evaluate the potential impact of this combination on both progression-free survival and overall survival in patients presenting with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.Primary ObjectiveThe primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of atezolizumab versus placebo in combination with paclitaxel + carboplatin + bevacizumab for front-line treatment of ovarian cancer among all patients and those with PD-L1+ tumors.Study HypothesisThis study will test the hypothesis that treatment with atezolizumab added to paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab will prolong progression-free survival and overall survival compared with treatment with placebo plus paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab.Trial DesignThis is a randomized, phase III, placebo-controlled study.Major Inclusion/Exclusion CriteriaEligible patients have a histologic diagnosis of advanced epithelial ovarain cancer, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer who either have residual disease after primary surgery or who are undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy with planned interval surgery. Ineligible patients include those who are cured with surgery alone or those for whom no gross residual disease remained following primary cytoreduction.Primary EndpointThere are two co-primary efficacy endpoints: investigator-assessed progression-free survival and overall survival.Sample Size1300 patients.Estimated Dates for Completing Accrual and Presenting ResultsApril 2020.Trial RegistrationNCT03038100.
