11003 Background: ES is a rare soft tissue sarcoma that metastasizes in approximately 30% to 50% of cases. More than 90% of ES tumors lack expression of INI1, an important component of epigenetic regulation. Loss of INI1 function allows another epigenetic modifier, EZH2, to become an oncogenic driver in tumor cells. Tazemetostat, a first-in-class, selective, oral inhibitor of EZH2, has demonstrated tumor regression and favorable safety in phase 1/2 trials. Methods: Data from a phase 2 open-label, multicenter trial of pts with locally advanced or metastatic ES are reported. Efficacy was assessed with primary and secondary endpoints including objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST 1.1, disease control rate (DCR; objective confirmed response of any duration or stable disease [SD] lasting ≥32 weeks), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS); safety and tolerability were also evaluated. Results: As of September 17, 2018, 62 INI1-negative ES pts were enrolled and treated with tazemetostat 800 mg BID. The median number of prior lines of therapy was 1 (range: 0-9). There were 9/62 (15%) confirmed partial responses (PRs) with an ORR of 15% and DCR of 26%. The DOR ranged from 7.1+ weeks to 103.0+ weeks (median: not reached) with a median OS of 82.4 weeks (95% CI: 47.4, not estimable) for all 62 pts. Tazemetostat was generally well tolerated. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were generally mild to moderate with the most commonly reported adverse events (AEs; ≥10% incidence) regardless of attribution being fatigue (24/62; 39%), nausea (22/62; 35%), and cancer pain (20/62; 32%). Any treatment-related TEAEs of grade ≥3 were reported in 10/62 (16%) pts. TEAEs grade ≥3 reported in ≥2 pts included anemia (6%) and decreased weight (3%). There were no drug-related deaths and a low discontinuation rate (1.7%). Conclusions: In the largest prospective clinical trial of ES to date, tazemetostat achieved disease control in 26% of pts with advanced ES who entered this study. Durable clinical response of the drug was documented. Tazemetostat demonstrated favorable safety with few pts with treatment-related AEs grade ≥3. Clinical trial information: NCT02601950.

315 Background: Combination therapy with nivolumab + ipilimumab (NIVO+IPI) has demonstrated long-term efficacy and tolerability for patients (pts) with previously untreated advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC). Most pivotal clinical trials in pts with aRCC have excluded pts with low Karnofsky performance status (KPS; < 70%). CheckMate 920 is a multi-arm, phase IIIb/IV, open-label clinical trial of NIVO+IPI treatment in pts enrolled in a community practice setting with aRCC and a high unmet medical need. We present safety and efficacy results for the cohort of pts with aRCC of any histology and KPS 50%–60% from CheckMate 920 (NCT02982954). Methods: Pts with previously untreated advanced/metastatic RCC and KPS 50%–60% received NIVO 3 mg/kg + IPI 1 mg/kg Q3W × 4 doses followed by 480 mg NIVO Q4W for ≤ 2 years or until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was incidence of grade ≥ 3 immune-mediated adverse events (imAEs) within 100 days of last dose of study drug. Key secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST v1.1 (both per investigator). Exploratory endpoints included overall survival (OS). Results: Of 25 treated pts with KPS 50%–60%, 76% were men; median age was 67 years (range, 34–81). IMDC risk was favorable in 0%, intermediate in 32%, and poor in 68% of pts; 84% had clear cell and 16% had non-clear cell RCC histology. With a minimum follow-up of 25 months, median duration of therapy (95% CI) was 2.3 months (2.1–7.7) for NIVO and 2.1 months (2.1–2.1) for IPI. The median number of doses (range) received was 4 (1–27) for NIVO and 4 (1–4) for IPI; 76% of pts received ≥ 4 NIVO doses and 68% received all 4 IPI doses. The only grade 3–4 imAEs by category were hepatitis (4.0%) and adrenal insufficiency (4.0%). No grade 5 imAEs occurred. Overall, 4 (16%) pts discontinued due to any-grade adverse events (n = 1 each for elevated AST, malignant neoplasm progression, back pain, and acetabulum fracture). Of 18 evaluable pts, ORR was 33.3% (95% CI, 13.3–59.0); no pts had a complete response and 6 had partial response. Median time to objective response was 4.5 months (range, 2.5–24.7). Median duration of objective response was 20.6 months (range, 0.03+–24.2+). Median PFS was 4.6 months (95% CI, 2.5–14.8). Median OS was 15.6 months (95% CI, 5.3–25.1). Conclusions: NIVO+IPI demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and promising antitumor activity in pts with previously untreated aRCC and KPS 50%–60%. The combination was tolerated at a dose intensity similar to that observed in clinical trials conducted in pts with higher KPS (≥ 70%). These data support the value of NIVO+IPI in pts who may not be considered ideal candidates for this therapy and consequently may have limited treatment options.

6069 Background: Surgery is the primary treatment for locally advanced thyroid cancer (TC). For some locally advanced TC, R0/R1 resection could not be achieved at initial diagnosis and neoadjuvant treatment would be an option. However, there is still little evidence regarding neoadjuvant treatment in locally advanced TC. Methods: This single-arm, phase 2 study investigated the efficacy and safety of Anlotinib (12mg orally daily, for two weeks on/on week off) for 2-6 cycles in patients with locally advanced TC in the neoadjuvant setting. Operable patients received surgery after neoadjuvant treatment. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Results: A total of 13 patients were included and received an average of 3.5 cycles (range: 3-6 cycles) of Anlotinib treatment. 12 cases were papillary thyroid cancer, and 1 was follicular thyroid cancer. The ORR of Anlotinib was 76.9% with 10 partial response (PR), 2 stable disease (SD), and 1 progressive disease (PD). 8 PR and 1 SD patients received surgery after neoadjuvant treatment, of whom 8 had R0/1 resections and 1 had R2 resection. 2 PR patients refused to have surgery and the rest 2 patients were not operable. The R0/1 resection rate for intent to treat population was 61.5% and for per-protocol population was 72.7%. The maximum reduction in sum of tumor diameter was an average of 34.8% (range: 30.9%-45.5%) for PR patients. Most adverse events were grade 1 or 2. Common adverse events of all grade were hypertension (76.9%), hypertriglyceridemia (69.2%), proteinuria (53.8%), TSH increase (53.8%), cholesterol elevation (53.8%) and hand-foot syndrome (38.5%). The majority of adverse events discontinued after the neoadjuvant treatment stopped. Conclusions: Anlotinib demonstrated antitumor activity in the neoadjuvant treatment in locally advanced TC and the majority of patients achieved R0/1 resection. Adverse events were consistent with the known Anlotinib adverse event profile. These results suggest that Anlotinib neoadjuvant treatment represents a new option for locally advanced TC. Clinical trial information: NCT04309136.

4525 Background: Anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy shows promising clinical activity in UC. We report a planned update of the safety and efficacy of durvalumab in patients (pts) with locally advanced/metastatic UC from a multicenter, phase 1/2 open-label study. Methods: Pts received durvalumab 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks (Q2W) up to 12 months (mo) or until unacceptable toxicity, progression, or starting another anticancer therapy. Primary endpoints were safety and confirmed objective response rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review (RECIST v1.1). Duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were key secondary endpoints. Tumor PD-L1 expression was assessed by Ventana SP263 assay (PD-L1 high = ≥25% PD-L1 expression on tumor or immune cells). Results: As of Oct 24, 2016 (data cutoff [DCO]), 191 pts had received treatment. Median follow-up was 5.78 mo (range, 0.4–25.9). All pts had Stage 4 disease and 99.5% had prior anticancer therapy (95.3% post-platinum). As of DCO, ORR was 17.8% (34/191), including 7 CRs, with responses observed regardless of PD-L1 status (Table). Responses occurred early (median time to response, 1.41 mo) and were durable (median DoR not reached [NR]). Median PFS and OS were 1.5 mo (95% CI, 1.4, 1.9) and 18.2 mo (95% CI, 8.1, not estimable [NE]), respectively; the 1-year OS rate was 55.0% (95% CI, 43.9%, 64.7%). Grade 3/4 treatment-related AEs occurred in 6.8% of pts; grade 3/4 immune-mediated (im)AEs occurred in 4 pts; 2 pts discontinued due to imAEs (acute kidney injury and autoimmune hepatitis). Conclusions: Durvalumab 10 mg/kg Q2W shows favorable clinical activity and an excellent safety profile in locally advanced/metastatic UC pts. Table.

6015 Background: Cemiplimab (REGN2810) produced substantial antitumor activity with durable responses in Phase 1 CSCC expansion cohorts and Phase 2 metastatic (m) CSCC cohort. We now present the primary analysis of the Phase 2 laCSCC cohort (NCT02760498; data cutoff date: Oct 10, 2018). Methods: Pts with laCSCC received cemiplimab 3 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks (Q2W). Tumor measurements were performed Q8W. The primary objective was to evaluate objective response rate (ORR; complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) according to independent central review (per RECIST 1.1 for scans; modified WHO criteria for photos). Results: 78 pts were enrolled (59 M/ 19 F; median age: 74 years; ECOG PS: 0 in 38 pts, 1 in 40 pts; primary CSCC site: head/neck in 79.5%; prior systemic therapy: 15.4%; prior radiotherapy: 55.1%). Median duration of follow-up was 9.3 months (range: 0.8–27.9). ORR by central review was 43.6% (95% CI: 32.4–55.3; 10 CRs and 24 PRs); investigator-assessed (INV) ORR was 52.6% (95% CI: 40.9–64.0; 13 CRs and 28 PRs). Median duration of response (DOR) has not been reached. The longest DOR at data cut-off was 24.2 months and was still ongoing. Durable disease control rate (stable disease or response for ≥16 weeks) was 62.8% (95% CI: 51.1–73.5). Median observed time to response was 1.9 months (range: 1.8–8.8). Median progression-free and overall survival have not been reached. Tumor PD-L1 status is available for 48/78 pts, tumor mutational burden analysis (from targeted exome panel) is ongoing for ≥40/78 pts; response correlation analyses are planned. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs; all grades, Grade ≥3) were fatigue (42.3%, 1.3%), diarrhea and pruritus (both 26.9%, 0%), and nausea (21.8%, 0%). INV grade ≥3 immune-related AEs occurred in 10.3% of pts. One pt died due to an unknown cause that was assessed as treatment-related. Conclusions: Cemiplimab 3 mg/kg Q2W showed substantial antitumor activity, durable responses, and acceptable safety profile in pts with laCSCC. These data strongly support the recent FDA approval of cemiplimab-rwlc for pts with mCSCC or laCSCC who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation. Clinical trial information: NCT02760498.

9526 Background: Primary analysis (Oct 2017) of cemiplimab (REGN2810) in pts with mCSCC in a Phase 2 study demonstrated substantial antitumor activity, durable responses, and acceptable safety profile. We now report 12-month follow-up data from these pts (NCT02760498; data cutoff date: Sep 20, 2018). Methods: Pts with mCSCC received cemiplimab 3 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks (Q2W). Tumor measurements were performed Q8W. The primary objective was to evaluate objective response rate (ORR; complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) according to independent central review (per RECIST 1.1 for scans; modified WHO criteria for photos). Results: 59 pts (median age: 71 years) were enrolled. Median duration of follow-up was 16.5 months (range: 1.1–26.6). ORR by central review was 49.2% (95% CI: 35.9–62.5; 10 CRs and 19 PRs [4 CRs and 25 PRs by investigator-assessment (INV)]). Median duration of response (DOR) has not been reached. The longest DOR at data cut-off was 21.6 months and was still ongoing. Observed DOR exceeded 12 months in 22/29 pts (75.9%) with response. Durable disease control rate (stable disease or response for ≥16 weeks) was 62.7% (95% CI: 49.1–75.0). Median observed time to response was 1.9 months (range: 1.7–9.1). Median progression-free survival was 18.4 months (95% CI: 7.3–not evaluable); median overall survival has not been reached. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (all grades, Grade ≥3) were diarrhea (28.8%, 1.7%), fatigue (25.4%, 1.7%), and nausea (23.7%, 0%). By INV, grade ≥3 immune-related adverse events occurred in 13.6% of pts. Conclusions: This analysis demonstrates substantial antitumor activity and increasing DOR with cemiplimab 3 mg/kg Q2W in pts with mCSCC. There were no new safety signals. These data strongly support the recent FDA approval of cemiplimab-rwlc for pts with mCSCC or locally advanced CSCC who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation. Clinical trial information: NCT02760498.

2504 Background: Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 mutations (m IDH1/2) occur in approximately 70% and 4% of low-grade gliomas (LGGs), respectively, promoting oncogenesis via increased production of D-2-hydroxyglutarate. In this ongoing phase 1 trial, VOR, a potent, oral, reversible, brain-penetrant, first-in-class dual inhibitor of mIDH1/2, is being evaluated in advanced m IDH1/2 solid tumors, including gliomas. Safety and preliminary results were presented previously (Mellinghoff et al., J Clin Oncol 2018). Here, we report updated data for the non-enhancing glioma pt population. Methods: Pts with recurrent/progressive m IDH1/2 glioma received VOR daily (continuous 28-day cycles). Key eligibility criteria included: ≥18 years; histologically or cytologically confirmed glioma with documented m IDH1/2; ECOG 0-2; and evaluable disease by RANO-LGG criteria. Dose escalation cohorts enrolled using a Bayesian logistic regression model (BLRM) escalation guided by the overdose control (EWOC). Tumor response was evaluated by MRI every 8 weeks using RANO-LGG criteria by local assessment. Results: As of 28 Nov 2019, 22 pts with non-enhancing glioma had received VOR and 8 (36%) remain on treatment. M/F, 8/14; grade 2/3, 17/5; median age, 47 years; m IDH1/2, 20/1; 1p19q intact, 9/22; median (range) number of prior systemic therapies, 2 (1–4). Common (≥5 pts) treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) of any grade and regardless of causality included increased ALT/AST (63.6%/59.1%), headache (45.5%), nausea (40.9%), neutropenia (31.8%), fatigue and hyperglycemia (27.3% each), and seizures and decreased white blood cell count (22.7% each). Transaminase elevations were grade 1 in severity at dose levels < 100mg and were less frequent (5 [38.5%] of 13 pts). Three subjects had related grade ≥3 AEs; 2 discontinued due to AEs. Objective response rate was 13.6% (1 partial response, 2 minor responses), and 17 (77.3%) pts achieved stable disease. 60.5% of pts were progression free and alive at 24 months. Conclusions: In this previously treated population with non-enhancing glioma, VOR was associated with a favorable safety profile. The study results also show encouraging preliminary activity within that population, with PFS duration extending to 24 months or longer in 60% of participants. A global randomized phase 3 study of VOR in grade 2 non-enhancing glioma pts who have had surgery only is currently enrolling (NCT04164901). Clinical trial information: NCT02481154 .

TPS3157 Background: Dysregulation of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) signaling by FGFR fusions is implicated in many cancers. Debio 1347 is a selective oral inhibitor of FGFR 1-3 tyrosine kinases. It exhibited high antitumor activity in in vitro and in vivo tumor models with FGFR1-3 gene fusions. Preliminary data from an ongoing phase 1 trial show efficacy and tolerability in patients (pts) harboring FGFR 1-3 fusion irrespectively of tumor type. We present the design for a multicenter, basket, 2-stage, adaptive single arm Phase 2 trial investigating Debio 1347 in pts with solid tumors harboring FGFR1-3 fusion/rearrangement. Methods: Adults with locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic tumors with documented FGFR1-3 gene fusion/rearrangement who require systemic therapy and have progression after ≥1 prior standard treatment or have no satisfactory alternative treatment option are eligible. Three cohorts are included: biliary tract cancer (cohort 1), urothelial cancer (cohort 2) and all other solid tumors (cohort 3). Primary brain tumors are excluded. Other key exclusion criteria include prior treatment with FGFR1-3 selective inhibitor; clinically significant corneal/retinal disorder; history of calcium/phosphate homeostasis disorder or systemic mineral imbalance with ectopic soft tissue calcification, and symptomatic/unstable brain metastases < 1 month before enrollment. Genomic screening of tumor tissue is done at local or central laboratory with post-hoc central confirmation by RNA sequencing. Eligible pts will receive Debio 1347, 80 mg PO once daily in 28-day cycles until occurrence of progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary Endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) based on independent central review using RECIST v.1.1. The targeted sample size (N=125) will provide approximately 90% power to reject H0: ORR ≤ 15% at an overall 5% significance level based on an expected ORR of 30% in at least one of the cohorts. Secondary endpoints are: duration of response, disease control rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, safety, tolerability, and quality of life. An interim analysis for futility and homogeneity will be performed after 27 evaluable pts. PK sparse sampling is performed to assess exposure-response relationships with efficacy and safety. Biomarkers of response and resistance will be explored. Accrual is opened in US, EU, Asia and Australia. Clinical trial information: NCT03834220.

108 Background: Patients (pts) with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) have a 5-year survival rate of 24%. There is no standard treatment for advanced disease after first-line chemotherapy. Fibroblast growth factor receptor-2 ( FGFR2) gene fusions occur in 10% to 20% of pts with iCCA, offering a promising therapeutic avenue for this disease. Futibatinib is a highly selective irreversible FGFR1-4 inhibitor given as a continuous once-daily (QD) oral regimen. This phase 2 registrational trial was initiated because of results from a phase 1 dose escalation/expansion study showing tolerability and preliminary efficacy of futibatinib in pts with iCCA with FGFR2 fusions. Methods: FOENIX-CCA2 (NCT02052778), a single-arm multicenter phase 2 study, enrolled pts with locally advanced/metastatic unresectable iCCA harboring FGFR2 gene fusions or other rearrangements, disease progression after ≥1 line of systemic therapy (including gemcitabine plus platinum-based chemotherapy), no prior FGFR inhibitor treatment, and an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Pts received futibatinib 20 mg QD until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) based on independent central radiology review. Secondary endpoints include disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), and safety. Results: A total of 103 pts were enrolled. For this interim analysis, data are reported for the 67 pts (65%) with ≥6 months of follow-up. Of these, 82.1% of pts had tumors harboring an FGFR2 fusion. One, 2, or ≥3 prior therapies were received by 44.8%, 28.4%, and 26.9% of pts, respectively. ORR was 34.3% (all partial response, n = 23), and DCR was 76.1%; assessment was pending for 8 pts. Median time to response was 1.6 months (range, 1.0-4.9), and median DOR was 6.2 months (range, 2.1-14.2). The most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs; all grade, grade ≥3) were hyperphosphatemia (79.1%, 25.4%), diarrhea (37.3%, 0%), and dry mouth (32.8%, 0%). Any-cause grade ≥3 AEs were reported in 73.1% of pts. Dose delay or dose reduction was required in 65.7% and 53.7% of pts, respectively; 6.0% of pts discontinued treatment because of AEs. Conclusions: Preliminary assessment of these phase 2 data indicate efficacy and tolerability of futibatinib for treatment of pts with iCCA harboring FGFR2 fusions or other rearrangements who have progressed after chemotherapy. Continued analysis of the study population is underway. Clinical trial information: NCT02052778.

11058 Background: Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma (STS) typically seen in young adults accounting for < 1% of all STS. While local disease may be indolent, ES can rapidly spread and patients (pts) with distant metastasis are often resistant to systemic treatment with 1 year survival of < 50%. The defining molecular feature of ES is the absence of tumor expression of INI1, a SWI/SNF subunit member involved in chromatin remodeling. Tazemetostat, a potent and selective EZH2 inhibitor, has demonstrated tumor regressions in INI1 negative preclinical malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) models and phase 1 clinical activity in MRT and ES pts. The proposed mechanism of tazemetostat sensitivity is INI1 loss inducing compromised SWI/SNF activity and tumor dependence on PRC2 activity (of which EZH2 is the catalytic subunit). Preliminary phase 2 safety and efficacy of tazemetostat in ES pts is reported here. Methods: This is a phase 2 multicenter open-label single arm study of tazemetostat (800 mg po BID) in adult pts with ES whose tumors harbor evidence of INI1 loss. Pts enroll into 1 of 5 cohorts of different tumor types with INI1 loss/reduction, up to 30 pts each, using a 2-stage Green-Dahlberg design. For the ES cohort, primary endpoint is disease control rate (DCR) defined as objective response of any duration or stable disease (SD) lasting ≥32 wks. Success at stage 2 required DCR in ≥5/30 treated pts. Key secondary endpoints include safety/tolerability, ORR, PFS, OS, PK and response biomarkers e.g. H3K27me3. Results: In 31 ES pts with a median of 1 prior systemic therapy, stage 2 DCR criteria was surpassed with a RECIST confirmed PR (4 pts) and SD ≥32 wks (2 pts) observed to date. 13 pts are still on treatment therefore DCR and ORR will be updated. Tazemetostat was well tolerated with grade 1/2 fatigue (39%), nausea (26%) and vomiting (19%) as the most frequently reported AEs regardless of attribution. Conclusions: In the largest prospective clinical trial of ES to date, tazemetostat monotherapy shows promising antitumor activity, including confirmed responses and long-term SD, with favorable safety/tolerability in ES. Enrollment has been expanded to 60 ES pts given the clinical activity described here. Clinical trial information: NCT02601950.

523 Background: Gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP) treatment is recommended for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and has been widely spread in our clinics. However, the usefulness for the patients with locally advanced PDAC is still controversial. We designed the phase I study to assess the toxicity and decide the recommended dose based on dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of concurrent chemoradiotherapy using GnP for unresectable locally advanced (UR-LA) PDAC. Methods: UR-LA PDAC patients were enrolled in this clinical trial. The patients received the GnP on days 1, 8 and 15 every 28 days, and the cycles were repeated until PD. The patients were scheduled to receive gemcitabine (mg/m2) and nab-paclitaxel (mg/m2) at 5 dose levels: 400/75 (level 0), 600/75 (level 1), 600/100 (level 2), 800/100 (level 3) and 800/125 (level 4). Radiation therapy was delivered as a total dose of 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions, 1.8Gy per day. DLT was defined as grade 4 leucopenia or neutropenia ≥ 3 days, grade 3 neutropenia with fever ≥ 38℃, grade 3 or 4 thrombopenia, grade 3 non-hematological toxicity and > 14 days delay of treatment. Response and disease control rate, safety, adverse events, PFS and OS were evaluated. Results: Twelve patients were enrolled in this study. Treatment was well tolerated, and every 12 patients completed radiotherapy of 50.4 Gy. Our recommended dose was level 3, gemcitabine 800 mg/m2 and nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m2. One patient experienced the DLT. The response rate was 41.7% and disease control rate was 75% (PR: 5, SD: 4, PD: 3). Median OS was 9.0 months. Among 12 patients, 6 (50%) patients underwent conversion surgery, and the pathological CR was observed in 2 patients. Conclusions: The concurrent chemoradiotherapy using GnP for UR-LA PDAC can be delivered safely and the high rate of conversion surgery was observed in our clinical trial. Based on this results, we will proceed the phase-II study. Clinical trial information: UMIN000020475.
