Trimodality Therapy

8552 Background: Trimodality therapy with pleurectomy/decortication, cytotoxic chemotherapy, and adjuvant pleural intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMPRINT) is an emerging standard of care for locally advanced epithelioid mesothelioma (Rimner, Zauderer et al. JCO 2016). Some patients, however, progress rapidly and we therefore sought to identify potential predictive markers of response to this treatment. Given the putative role of BAP1 in DNA damage repair, we hypothesized that alteration in BAP1 would be associated with improved local control after radiation therapy. Methods: We identified patients previously treated at our institution with IMPRINT to a median dose of 4680cGy in 26 fractions. Targeted next generation sequencing was performed with MSK-IMPACT on archival tissue samples. Chart review was undertaken for clinicopathologic features and outcome data. Results: MSK-IMPACT testing was successfully performed on 58 patients who completed IMPRINT. The majority were male with a median age of 70 years. Ninety-seven percent had epithelioid subtype while 3% were biphasic with predominantly epithelioid histology. Median overall survival was 30.2 months with a median follow-up of 45.3 months, consistent with prior reports. Somatic BAP1 mutations were identified in 34% of the specimens. Those with BAP1 mutant tumors had a median time to local failure of 22.4 months (IQR 10.9 – 36.9 months) while those with BAP1 wild type tumors only had a median of 12.1 months (IQR 8.7-15.85 months) to local failure (p = 0.057). We identified a trend towards improved overall survival among those with BAP1 altered tumors compared to those with BAP1 wild type (HR = 0.61, p = 0.14). Conclusions: BAP1 alteration may be associated with improved duration of local control and improved overall survival after IMPRINT therapy. Further analysis and validation in a large data set is needed and a platform for identifying and validating predictive biomarkers should be included in the planned NRG randomized trial of IMPRINT.

Stereotactic Body Radiation

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.

Larynx Cancer

e18044 Background: Organ preservation approaches to treatment of locally advanced larynx cancers are widely used and consist of radiotherapy (RT) with or without concurrent systemic therapy (CRT). Analyses of the National Cancer Database point to decreasing survival as CRT became widely adopted in place of total laryngectomy (TL). Tumor volume in T3 laryngeal tumors has been postulated as one variable to explain this finding, with higher volume associated with lower local control based on small sample size studies largely in pre-intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) era, and low volume T3 tumors being associated with improved local control with CRT. We sought to validate these findings in a contemporary cohort of T3 larynx patients treated with IMRT. Methods: This was a national, multicentre retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) T3 N0-3 M0 glottic and supraglottic cancers who underwent curative intent IMRT with or without systemic treatment from 2002-2018. Tumor volumes were calculated using a validated standardized approach by a Neuroradiologist. Primary predictor was tumor volume, primary outcome was local control (LC), and secondary outcomes included overall survival (OS), as well as late grade 3+ toxicities. Kaplan Meier estimates and log-rank tests were used for survival analyses, with Cox proportional hazards used for univariable analyses. Results: 246 patients met inclusion criteria, 147 glottic and 99 supraglottic cancers. At baseline, glottic patients were more likely to be male (p < 0.01), have a fixed vocal cord (p < 0.01), not have pre-epiglottic space invasion ( < 0.01), be cN0 (p < 0.01), and have lower grade tumors (p < 0.01). Mean tumor volumes for glottic and supraglottic tumors were 5.0 (4.2-5.8) cc and 13.0 (10.3–15.6) cc respectively. Univariable analysis showed systemic therapy was associated with improved local failure (HR 0.49, 95%CI 0.24 – 0.99, p = 0.05). Within the glottic cohort, tumor volume was not associated with local failure (HR 1.09, 95%CI 0.71 – 1.67, p = 0.38), however having a local failure event was associated with increased feeding tube dependence (HR 2.52, 95%CI 1.05 – 6.02, p = 0.04). Median local failure free survival in the overall cohort was 28.5 months, with median OS 23.2 months. There was a trend towards improved local control in the supraglottic cohort compared to glottic patients (log-rank p = 0.08), but the supraglottic cohort had significantly worse overall survival (log-rank p = 0.02). Conclusions: In this retrospective cohort study, there were baseline and outcome differences between patients with T3 glottic and supraglottic larynx cancer, with worse overall survival in supraglottic patients. Tumor volume was not associated with local control in the glottic cohort. These findings are pending further validation in a larger cohort and will be analyzed separately for supraglottic tumors.

Recurrent Gbm

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.

Background. To predict long-term treatment outcome of radiation therapy (RT) plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for high-risk locally advanced prostate cancer. Methods. In total, 204 patients with the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) high risk locally advanced prostate cancer (PSA > 20 ng/ml, Gleason score ≧ 8, clinical T stage ≧ 3a) were treated with definitive RT with ADT. Median follow up period was 113 months (IQR: 95–128). Median neoadjuvant ADT and total ADT duration were 7 months (IQR: 6–10) and 27 months (IQR: 14–38), respectively. Results. PSA recurrence-free survival (PSA-RFS), cancer specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS) rates at 5 years were 84.1%, 98.5%, and 93.6%, respectively, and 67.9%, 91.2%, and 78.1%, respectively, at 10 years. Pre-RT PSA less than 0.2 ng/ml was associated with superior outcomes of PSA-RFS (HR = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.25–0.70, p=0.001), CSS (HR = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.09–0.82, p=0.013), and OS (HR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.26–0.91, p=0.021). On multivariate analysis, age (≥70 y.o.) and pre-RT PSA (≥0.2 ng/ml) were factors predictive of poorer OS (p=0.032) , but iPSA, T stage, Gleason score, number of NCCN high-risk criteria, a combination with anti-androgen therapy and neoadjuvant ADT duration were not predictive of treatment outcome. Conclusion. In patient with high-risk prostate cancer, RT plus ADT achieved good oncologic outcomes. PSA < 0.2 ng/ml before radiation therapy is a strong independent predictor for long overall survival.

Biomarker Analysis

Purpose The AVAglio (Avastin in Glioblastoma) and RTOG-0825 randomized, placebo-controlled phase III trials in newly diagnosed glioblastoma reported prolonged progression-free survival (PFS), but not overall survival (OS), with the addition of bevacizumab to radiotherapy plus temozolomide. To establish whether certain patient subgroups derived an OS benefit from the addition of bevacizumab to first-line standard-of-care therapy, AVAglio patients were retrospectively evaluated for molecular subtype, and bevacizumab efficacy was assessed for each patient subgroup. Patients and Methods A total of 349 pretreatment specimens (bevacizumab arm, n = 171; placebo arm, n = 178) from AVAglio patients (total, N = 921) were available for biomarker analysis. Samples were profiled for gene expression and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation status and classified into previously identified molecular subtypes. PFS and OS were assessed within each subtype. Results A multivariable analysis accounting for prognostic covariates revealed that bevacizumab conferred a significant OS advantage versus placebo for patients with proneural IDH1 wild-type tumors (17.1 v 12.8 months, respectively; hazard ratio, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.26 to 0.73; P = .002). This analysis also revealed an interaction between the proneural subtype biomarker and treatment arm (P = .023). The group of patients with mesenchymal and proneural tumors derived a PFS benefit from bevacizumab compared with placebo; however, this translated to an OS benefit in the proneural subset only. Conclusion Retrospective analysis of AVAglio data suggests that patients with IDH1 wild-type proneural glioblastoma may derive an OS benefit from first-line bevacizumab treatment. The predictive value of the proneural subtype observed in AVAglio should be validated in an independent data set.
