TPS5603 Background: There is a significant unmet need to develop new regimens for BRCA1/2-nonmutated advanced ovarian cancer (OC). The PARP inhibitor olaparib is approved for women with platinum-sensitive, recurrent OC regardless of BRCA1/2 status and, more recently, for newly diagnosed women with BRCA-mutated OC. In the TOPACIO/KEYNOTE-162 study, the combination of the PD-1–blocking antibody pembrolizumab (pembro) and niraparib demonstrated efficacy in platinum-resistant relapsed OCirrespective of BRCA1/2 status. ENGOT-OV43/KEYLYNK-001 (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03740165) is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, active- and placebo-controlled study of pembro plus paclitaxel-carboplatin chemotherapy (CT) followed by olaparib maintenance for first-line treatment of patients with BRCA1/2-nonmutated advanced epithelial OC (EOC). Methods: Patients with stage III or IV BRCA-nonmutated EOC, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer will be stratified by surgery status (no residual tumor after primary debulking surgery [PDS], residual tumor after PDS, or planned interval debulking), bevacizumab use, and PD-L1 status (combined positive score < 10 or ≥10). After one lead-in cycle of CT, patients will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive: CT + pembro followed by olaparib maintenance; CT + pembro followed by placebo; or CT + placebo followed by placebo. The CT regimen will be administered for 5 cycles, and pembro 200 mg Q3W will be administered for 35 infusions. Olaparib 300 mg BID maintenance therapy will start after the end of CT as concomitant treatment with pembro until discontinuation or for 2 years if the patient has a complete response. Bevacizumab use is permitted at investigator’s discretion and determined prerandomization. Primary endpoints are investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) per RECIST 1.1 criteria and overall survival. Key secondary endpoints are PFS per RECIST 1.1 assessed by blinded independent central review, PFS after next-line treatment, and safety. Enrollment is currently ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03740165.

LBA2 Background: Gemcitabine-cisplatin (GP) chemotherapy is the standard 1st line treatment for locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic (r/m) NPC. Toripalimab, a humanized IgG4K monoclonal antibody specific for PD-1, provided durable responses in patients (pts) with r/m NPC as monotherapy in the ≥2nd line setting (POLARIS-02 study). The results of JUPITER-02, a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded Phase III trial of toripalimab in combination with GP chemotherapy as first-line treatment for r/m NPC are summarized. Methods: Pts with advanced NPC with no prior chemotherapy in the r/m setting were randomized (1:1) to receive toripalimab 240 mg or placebo d1 in combination with gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 d1, d8 and cisplatin 80 mg/m2 d1 every 3 weeks (Q3W) for up to 6 cycles, followed by monotherapy with toripalimab or placebo Q3W until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or completion of 2 years of treatment. Stratification factors were ECOG PS (0 vs. 1) and extent of disease (recurrent vs. primary metastatic) at enrollment. Progression-free survival (PFS) and response were assessed by independent review committee (IRC) per RECIST v1.1. The primary endpoint was PFS by IRC in the ITT population. Secondary end points included ORR, DOR and OS. There was one prespecified interim analysis of PFS at 130 PFS events with a planned final analysis at 200 PFS events. Results: 289 pts were randomized: 146 to the toripalimab arm and 143 to the placebo arm. By May 30, 2020 as the interim analysis cutoff date, the median treatment duration was 39 weeks in the toripalimab arm and 36 weeks in the placebo arm. A significant improvement in PFS was detected for the toripalimab arm compared to the placebo arm (HR = 0.52 [95% CI: 0.36-0.74] two-sided p = 0.0003), with median PFS of 11.7 vs. 8.0 months. The 1-year PFS rates were 49% and 28% respectively. An improvement in PFS was observed across relevant subgroups, including all PD-L1 subgroups. The ORR was 77.4% vs. 66.4% (P = 0.033) and the median DOR was 10.0 vs. 5.7 months (HR = 0.50 [95% CI: 0.33-0.78]). As of Jan 15, 2021, OS was not mature, with 25 deaths in the toripalimab arm and 35 in the placebo arm (HR = 0.68 [95% CI: 0.41-1.14], P = 0.14). The incidence of Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) (89.0% vs 89.5%); AEs leading to discontinuation of toripalimab/placebo (7.5% vs 4.9%); and fatal AEs (2.7% vs 2.8%) were similar between two arms; however, immune-related (irAEs) (39.7% vs. 18.9%) and Grade ≥3 irAEs (7.5% vs. 0.7%) were more frequent in the toripalimab arm. Conclusions: The addition of toripalimab to GP chemotherapy as 1st-line treatment for pts with advanced NPC provided superior PFS and ORR and longer DOR than GP alone with a manageable safety profile. These results support the use of toripalimab with GP chemotherapy as the new standard care for this population. Clinical trial information: NCT03581786.

PurposeThis phase III study compared the safety and efficacy of the following three different irinotecan-containing regimens in the first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer: irinotecan plus infusional fluorouracil (FU)/leucovorin (LV) (FOLFIRI), irinotecan plus bolus FU/LV (mIFL), and irinotecan plus oral capecitabine (CapeIRI).Patients and MethodsA total of 430 previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer patients were randomly assigned to receive FOLFIRI (n = 144), mIFL (n = 141), or CapeIRI (n = 145). Patients were concurrently randomly assigned to a double-blind treatment with celecoxib or placebo. After a protocol amendment, an additional 117 patients were randomly assigned to either FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab (FOLFIRI+Bev; n = 57) or mILF plus bevacizumab (mIFL+Bev; n = 60), whereas the CapeIRI arm was discontinued. The primary study end point was progression-free survival (PFS), with secondary end points of overall survival (OS), response rate, and toxicity.ResultsMedian PFS was 7.6 months for FOLFIRI, 5.9 months for mIFL (P = .004 for the comparison with FOLFIRI), and 5.8 months for CapeIRI (P = .015). Median OS was 23.1 months for FOLFIRI, 17.6 months for mIFL (P = .09), and 18.9 months for CapeIRI (P = .27). CapeIRI was associated with higher rates of severe vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration. After the amendment to add bevacizumab, the median survival time has not yet been reached for FOLFIRI+Bev and was 19.2 months for mIFL+Bev (P = .007). FOLFIRI+Bev was associated with a higher rate of ≥ grade 3 hypertension than mIFL+Bev.ConclusionFOLFIRI and FOLFIRI+Bev offered superior activity to their comparators and were comparably safe. An infusional schedule of FU should be the preferred irinotecan-based regimen in first-line metastatic colorectal cancer.
