371 Background: Lenvatinib (LEN) was shown to be noninferior to sorafenib (SOR) for overall survival (OS) in REFLECT (median OS [mOS], 13.6 vs 12.3 months [mo]; HR 0.92; 95% CI 0.79–1.06). LEN was superior vs SOR for secondary endpoints including objective response rate (ORR) per mRECIST: 24.1% vs 9.2% by investigator and 40.6% vs 12.4% by independent review (Kudo M et al. Lancet 2018). We report a posthoc responder analysis of patients (pts) who received first-line LEN in REFLECT and subsequent anticancer medication during survival follow up. Methods: In REFLECT, pts with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma were randomized 1:1 to receive first-line LEN or SOR. Objective response was defined as complete or partial response by mRECIST per investigator. Pts with disease progression and who discontinued treatment were followed for survival every 12 weeks; subsequent anticancer medication during survival follow up were recorded until time of death. Data cutoff: Nov 13, 2016. mOS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimates with 2-sided 95% CIs. Results: In REFLECT, one third of the overall study population (156/478 pts randomized to LEN and 184/476 to SOR) received subsequent anticancer medication, most commonly SOR (25% in LEN arm). ECOG performance status and laboratory assessments, including liver function tests, were comparable between arms prior to subsequent treatments. Among these pts, mOS was 21 vs 17 mo and ORR was 27.6% vs 8.7% for LEN vs SOR arms, respectively. In a subset analysis of LEN responders who received any subsequent anticancer medication (n = 43), mOS was 26 mo (95% CI 18.5–34.6). For SOR responders who received any subsequent anticancer medication (n = 16), mOS was 22 mo (95% CI, 14.6–NE). For LEN responders who subsequently received SOR (n = 35), mOS was 26 mo (95% CI 18.2–34.6). Conclusions: In REFLECT, one third of pts randomized to first-line LEN received subsequent anticancer medication, including SOR, with a mOS of 21 mo. In this exploratory, posthoc analysis of pts who responded to LEN and received any subsequent anticancer medication or SOR, mOS was 26 mo. Clinical trial information: NCT01761266.

9000 Background: In the randomized phase 3 CheckMate 9LA trial (NCT03215706), first-line NIVO + IPI combined with 2 cycles of chemo significantly improved overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR) vs chemo alone (4 cycles). Clinical benefit was observed regardless of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression level and histology. Here we report data with 2 years’ minimum follow-up from this study. Methods: Adult patients (pts) with stage IV / recurrent NSCLC, ECOG performance status ≤ 1, and no known sensitizing EGFR/ALK alterations were stratified by PD-L1 (< 1% vs ≥ 1%), sex, and histology (squamous vs non-squamous) and were randomized 1:1 to NIVO 360 mg Q3W + IPI 1 mg/kg Q6W + chemo (2 cycles; n = 361) or chemo alone (4 cycles; n = 358). Pts with non-squamous NSCLC in the chemo-alone arm could receive pemetrexed maintenance. The primary endpoint was OS. Secondary endpoints included PFS and ORR by blinded independent central review, and efficacy by different PD-L1 levels. Safety was exploratory. Results: At a minimum follow-up of 24.4 months for OS (database lock: Feb 18, 2021), pts treated with NIVO + IPI + chemo continued to derive OS benefit vs chemo, with a median OS of 15.8 months vs 11.0 months, respectively (HR, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.61–0.86]); 2-year OS rates were 38% vs 26%. Median PFS with NIVO + IPI + chemo vs chemo was 6.7 months vs 5.3 months (HR, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.56–0.79]); 8% and 37% of pts who had disease progression received subsequent immunotherapy, respectively. ORR was 38% with NIVO + IPI + chemo vs 25% with chemo. Similar clinical benefit with NIVO + IPI + chemo vs chemo was observed in all randomized pts and across the majority of subgroups, including by PD-L1 expression level (Table) or histology. Any grade and grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events were reported in 92% and 48% of pts in the NIVO + IPI + chemo arm vs 88% and 38% in the chemo arm, respectively. Conclusion: With 2 years’ minimum follow-up, first-line NIVO + IPI + chemo demonstrated durable survival and benefit versus chemo in pts with advanced NSCLC; no new safety signals were identified. Clinical trial information: NCT03215706. [Table: see text]

10029 Background: This is the first randomized trial testing the addition of an oncolytic virus to an immune checkpoint inhibitor for advanced melanoma. At the 3-year (yr) follow-up, the combination (combo) of T-VEC and ipi demonstrated durable and statistically superior objective response rate (ORR) over ipi alone (36.7% vs. 16.0%; odds ratio, 3.0; 95% Cl, 1.6–6.0; P = 0.002). Complete response (CR) rate was 21.4% with the combo and 6.0% with ipi. Median overall survival (OS) was not reached in either arm. In this post hoc analysis, we utilized the 3-yr landmark data to explore the relationship between CR and OS in the combo arm. Methods: Pts with unresectable, stage IIIB-IV melanoma were randomized 1:1 to receive combo or ipi alone. T-VEC was administered intratumorally on day 1 of week (wk) 1 at 106 plaque-forming units (PFU)/mL followed by subsequent doses at 108 PFU/mL on day 1 of wk 4, and every 2 wks thereafter. Ipi (3 mg/kg) was given every 3 wks starting on day 1 of wk 6 for up to 4 doses. Response was assessed by investigators per immune-related response criteria every 12 wks until disease progression. The primary endpoint was ORR; key secondary endpoints were OS, progression-free survival, and safety. Results: 198 pts were randomized (98 to combo; 100 to ipi). As of February 25, 2019, the median follow-up time was 40.0 mos (range: 0.2–63.7) for the combo arm. Among 98 pts who received combo, 21 (21.4%) had a best overall response of CR including 8 who converted from an initial partial response (PR), 15 (15.3%) had PR, 19 (19.4%) had stable disease, 30 (30.6%) had progressive disease, and 13 (13.2%) were unevaluable. Of 21 pts achieving CR, 17 (81%) had ECOG status of 0, 16 (76.2%) had stage IIIB-IVM1a disease, and 16 (76.2%) had no visceral metastases. Median duration of CR was not reached (range: 5.4[+]–58.2[+] mos); 19 of 21 CRs lasted more than 6 months. The baseline tumor burden was lower in pts with CR than in those with non-CR. Median OS was not reached in pts with CR (range: 25.1[+]–63.7[+] mos) and was 47.6 mos (range: 0.2[+]– 63.7[+] mos) in pts with non-CR (Log-rank P = 0.0005). The Kaplan–Meier estimated 3-year OS rate was 100.0% for patients with CR and 52.3% for those with non-CR. Conclusions: CR rate was higher with T-VEC plus ipi than with ipi alone in pts with advanced melanoma (21.4% vs. 6.0%). In the combo arm, CR was associated with prolonged OS, and pts with CR tended to have better ECOG performance status, earlier-stage disease, and lower baseline tumor burden, as compared with those with non-CR. Clinical trial information: NCT01740297.

7093 Background: Aim of this study was to evaluate the activity and toxicity of MTA and CBDCA combination as first line chemotherapy in advanced MPM. Methods: Chemonaive patients (pts) with histologically proven, an ECOG performance status (PS) 0–2, and measurable advanced MPM were considered. The schedule of administration was: pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 in combination with CBDA AUC 5, once every 21 days for 8 cycles. Results: From July 2003 to March 2005 76 pts (54 male and 22 female) have been treated with this combination chemotherapy. Median age was 62.7 years (range 40–70); median PS 0 (range 0–3); epithelial histologic findings were in 57 (75%), mixed in 13 (17.1%), sarcomatous in 3 (3.9%), and unspecified in 3 (3.9%) pts. A total of 537 cycles was administered (median 7, range 1 to 13). Grade 3 hematologic toxicity according to WHO criteria was seen in 43 (56.6%) pts (neutropenia in 30, thrombocytopenia in 8, and anemia in 5); grade 4 hematologic toxicity in 5 (6.6%) pts. The most common nonhematologic events were grade 3 nausea/vomiting in 10 (13.1%), and fever in 4 (5.3%) pts. 74 pts were evaluable for clinical response. There were 16 (21.%) partial responses (PR) and 3 (3.9%) complete responses (CR), for an overall response rate of 23.9%. 29 (38.2%) pts reported stable disease (SD). The overall survival was considered from date of diagnosis to date of death from any cause or to date of last follow-up. The median survival time for the entire group was estimated at 23 months. Conclusions: The results of this phase II study indicate that, at this dose and schedule, the combination of CBDCA and MTA is moderately active and that the profile of toxicity is acceptable in pts with advanced MPM. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

7127 Background: Abraxane (A) is a cremophor free, albumin-bound nanoparticle of paclitaxel (P) approved for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Belani et al. (JCO 21: 2933–2939, 2003) reported that P 100 mg/m2 days 1, 8 and 15 q 28 days with C AUC 6 on day 1 led to a 32% response rate in 132 patients (pts) with NSCLC. The median time to progression (TTP) was 35 weeks (wks) for stage IIIB and 29 wks for stage IV. Methods: This study was designed to determine if substituting A for P at an identical dose would lead to an improved response rate, TTP or decreased toxicity. Results: Fifty-six pts with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC previously untreated with chemotherapy were enrolled. The median age was 66 (range 37 - 83); 37 were male and median ECOG performance status was 1 (range 0–2). Thirteen pts were stage IIIB. Metastases included bone (17), liver (7), brain (2) and lymph nodes (16). Currently a total of 239 cycles of therapy have been administered with a median of 4 (range 1–8) cycles per pt. In 194 (81%) full dose A was administered on days 1, 8 and 15. The table below shows toxicities compared to P: Seven pts (13%) experienced grade (G) 1 neuropathy and 3 pts (5%) experienced G 2 neuropathy. Five pts were inevaluable for response due to removal from study after <2 cycles of treatment (2 died from progressive disease, 2 because of toxicity - thrombocytopenia and neutropenia - and 1 refused). Of 51 evaluable pts 1 (2%) had a complete response and 23 patients (45%) achieved a partial response. Four of 10 evaluable stage IIIB pts obtained a PR. Twenty-one pts were stable for at least 12 weeks of whom twenty remain stable at 12–29 weeks and one progressed at 23 weeks. A total of 13 pts have progressed and 3 pts have died. The Kaplan-Meier estimate of median TTP is 23 wks and maximum follow up is 34 wks. Conclusions: We conclude that combining A and C is tolerable and active in the treatment of newly-diagnosed NSCLC and antitumor activity compares favorably to that of P/C. Further studies are warranted in this population. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

657 Background: The phase III TRIBE trial met its primary endpoint, by demonstrating that first-line FOLFOXIRI plus bev significantly prolongs PFS, as compared to FOLFIRI plus bev. Also RECIST response rate, early response rate and deepness of response were significantly increased. At the first statistical analysis, with a median follow-up of 32.2 months, OS results were considered preliminary. Methods: Between July 2008 and May 2011, 508 patients were randomized to either FOLFIRI plus bev (arm A, n=256) or FOLFOXIRI plus bev (arm B, n=252). Both treatments were administered for a maximum of 12 cycles followed by 5FU/bev until progression. Results: At a median follow-up of 48.1 months, 374 deaths were recorded (Arm A=200 vs. Arm B=174). Median OS for Arm B vs. Arm A was 29.8 vs. 25.8 months (HR=0.80, 95% CI, 0.65-0.98, p=0.030). Long-term survival rates are reported in Table 1. Treatment effect was consistent across all analyzed subgroups. Among clinical variables, ECOG performance status of 1 or 2, right-sided primary tumor, synchronous metastases, disease not confined to the liver, unresected primary tumor, high Kohne score negatively affected prognosis at univariate analyses. At an exploratory model accounting for these variables, adjusted HR for treatment effect on OS was 0.77 (95% CI, 0.61-0.96, p=0.020). Conclusions: FOLFOXIRI plus bev improves survival of mCRC patients, as compared to FOLFIRI plus bev. The estimated 5-years OS rate of patients treated with FOLFOXIRI plus bev was equal to 24.9%, with an absolute benefit of 12.5% compared to controls. FOLFOXIRI plus bev represents a valuable option for the upfront treatment of mCRC. Clinical trial information: NCT00719797. [Table: see text]

TPS504 Background: The tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib is the standard of care for first-line hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). For patients with HCC after disease progression on sorafenib or for those with intolerance to sorafenib, no approved therapies are available. Because HCC is often driven by inflammation and is also associated with a suppressed immunoenvironment, there is a strong rationale to evaluate immunotherapy in patients with this type of cancer. The single-arm, multisite, phase 2 KEYNOTE-224 study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02702414) was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the anti–PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab in patients with previously treated advanced HCC. Methods: Approximately 100 patients will be enrolled. Inclusion criteria include age ≥18 years, histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of HCC Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C disease or BCLC stage B disease not amenable to or refractory to locoregional therapy, and disease not amenable to a curative treatment approach (eg, transplantation, surgery, or ablation). Patients must also have measurable disease based on RECIST v1.1 as confirmed by central imaging vendor review, documented objective radiographic progression after stopping treatment with sorafenib or intolerance to sorafenib, Child-Pugh liver score A, ECOG performance status 0-1, and predicted life expectancy > 3 months. Patients will be allocated to receive pembrolizumab 200 mg IV every 3 weeks for up to 35 cycles (~2 years) or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient withdrawal of consent, or investigator decision. Response will be assessed every 9 weeks per RECIST v1.1 by central imaging vendor review. Adverse events (AEs) will be assessed throughout treatment and for 30 days thereafter (90 days for serious AEs) and graded per NCI CTCAE v4.0. The primary end point is objective response rate per RECIST v1.1 by central imaging vendor review. Secondary end points are overall survival; safety and tolerability; and duration of response, disease control rate, time to progression, and progression-free survival per RECIST v1.1 by central imaging vendor review. Enrollment in KEYNOTE-224 is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT02702414.

3521 Background: In the phase 2 CheckMate 142 trial, NIVO + low-dose IPI provided robust and durable clinical benefit and was well tolerated as 1L therapy for MSI-H/dMMR mCRC (Lenz et al. Ann Oncol 2018;29:LBA18). Longer follow-up data will be presented. Methods: Patients with MSI-H/dMMR mCRC and no prior treatment for metastatic disease received NIVO 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks + low-dose IPI 1 mg/kg every 6 weeks until disease progression or discontinuation. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR). Results: For all 45 patients (median follow-up was 13.8 months), ORR was 60% (95% CI 44.3–74.3). Responses were consistent with the overall population across subgroups including age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy, and mutation status (Table). Seven patients (16%) had grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs); 3 (7%) had any grade TRAEs leading to discontinuation. Updated response, survival, and safety data after a longer follow-up (median 19.9 months) will be presented. Conclusions: NIVO + low-dose IPI demonstrated robust and durable clinical benefit and was well tolerated. Evaluated subgroups had responses consistent with the overall population. NIVO + low-dose IPI may represent a new 1L treatment option for patients with MSI-H/dMMR mCRC. Clinical trial information: NCT02060188. [Table: see text]

TPS6589 Background: The PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab is currently approved as first-line monotherapy for patients with R/M HNSCC whose tumors express PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥1. In a phase 1b/2 trial (NCT02501096) of pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib (multikinase inhibitor of VEGFR 1-3, FGFR 1-4, PDGFRa, RET, and KIT) in solid tumors, the combination demonstrated promising antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile in patients with HNSCC. LEAP-010 (NCT04199104) is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line pembrolizumab with or without lenvatinib in patients with PD-L1–positive R/M HNSCC. Methods: Key eligibility criteria include histologically confirmed R/M HNSCC incurable by local therapies, PD-L1–positive tumor (CPS ≥1) as determined by central laboratory, measurable disease as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) per RECIST v1.1, and ECOG performance status (PS) 0 or 1. Patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 to pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib or pembrolizumab plus placebo. Randomization will be stratified by PD-L1 status defined by tumor proportion score ( < 50% vs ≥50%), human papillomavirus status for oropharynx cancer (positive vs negative), and ECOG PS (0 or 1). Patients will receive intravenous pembrolizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks for 35 cycles (~2 years) and oral lenvatinib 20 mg or placebo once daily; patients may continue to receive lenvatinib or placebo after pembrolizumab treatment is complete. Treatment will continue until BICR-verified disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Pembrolizumab retreatment (second course) for 17 additional cycles will be allowed for eligible patients who stop pembrolizumab and subsequently experience BICR-verified disease progression. These patients could have stopped treatment with stable disease, partial response, or complete response or after 35 cycles of pembrolizumab for reasons other than disease progression or toxicity. Tumor imaging assessment will be performed at week 6, then every 6 weeks until 1 year, and thereafter every 9 weeks. Primary end points are objective response rate and progression-free survival, assessed by BICR per RECIST v1.1, and overall survival. Secondary end points are duration of response and safety and tolerability. Recruitment is ongoing; planned enrollment is ~500 patients. Clinical trial information: NCT04199104 .

Abstract Introduction - Aims: Several prognostic scoring systems have been developed for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), including the International Prognostic System (IPSS), the WHO Prognostic Scoring System (WPSS) and the Revised IPSS (IPSS-R). We evaluated the prognostic value of the IPSS-R on an independent group of 2,582 Greek patients with MDS, registered in the Hellenic National MDS Registry. The aim of this multicenter study was to validate the IPSS-R as a predictor for leukemia-free survival (LFS) and overall survival (OS), in newly-diagnosed MDS patients and to compare its prognostic significance with that of IPSS and WPSS. Moreover, to investigate the predictive value of IPSS-R in association with other recognized prognostic variables, such as patient's age, baseline serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and ferritin concentrations, IPSS, WPSS, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, transfusion dependency, and response to first-line treatment. Methods: Clinicopathological data from 2,582 MDS patients, diagnosed between 1/2000 - 1/2015 and registered in the Hellenic National MDS Registry were analyzed. Patients with MDS/MPN were excluded. Data included age, gender, date of diagnosis, clinical characteristics, WHO-2008 classification, laboratory parameters, transfusion dependency, bone marrow aspirate and biopsy morphology, cytogenetic findings, and type of treatment. LFS was calculated from the date of initial diagnosis of MDS until bone marrow blast increased to ≥20% [transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), according to the WHO classification], or last contact. OS was defined as the time from MDS diagnosis to death, or last contact. Patients alive and not having developed AML until last follow-up were censored for OS and LFS, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression analysis were performed with regard to LFS and OS. Differences between Kaplan-Meier curves were evaluated using the Mantel-Cox (log-rank) test. All significant variables identified by univariate Cox regression analysis and clinical factors important for MDS were used to build the multivariate Cox regression models. Multivariate Cox regression analysis included only those patients for whom the status of all variables was known, and comprised age, serum LDH, and ferritin levels, transfusion dependency, response to first-line treatment, IPSS, WPSS, and IPSS-R. Confidence intervals (CI) were estimated at the 95% level; all tests were two-sided, accepting p<0.05 as indicative of a statistically significant difference. All statistical analyses were performed with the statistical software SPSS (version 21). Results: 1,623 male (62.9%) and 959 female MDS patients with a median age of 74 years at diagnosis were included in the current study. Complete follow-up information was available for 2,376 patients. The estimated median OS was 58 months (95% CI = 52.9 - 63.1 months). For 1,974 patients, data used in the calculation of all three scoring systems were complete, thus allowing risk score calculation and comparison of the three risk assessment systems. Median OS was significantly different in patient subgroups classified according to IPSS, WPSS, and IPSS-R, as shown by the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (p<0.001). Fig. 1 shows Kaplan-Meier OS curves of MDS patients stratified according to IPSS-R (p<0.001). Moreover, the comparison of the prognostic value of the IPSS, WPSS, and IPSS-R revealed that the IPSS-R was significantly superior to both, WPSS and IPSS (p<0.001 in all cases). Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that the high prognostic value of IPSS-R, in terms of LFS and OS, was independent of patient's age, serum LDH, and ferritin concentration, ECOG performance status, and transfusion dependency (p<0.001). Interestingly, besides IPSS-R, patient age and transfusion dependency retain their small - yet significant - prognostic impact in the multiparametric models, thus implying that these two parameters could add prognostic value to the IPSS-R. Conclusions: Our data support the notion that all three prognostic scores are very useful predictors for both, LFS and OS in MDS, yet IPSS-R is superior to IPSS and WPSS as a prognostic tool, with regard to OS.

4067 Background: N9741 randomized 1691 patients (pts) to seven 5FU, Ox and Iri containing regimens for MCRC. After 20.4 months median follow-up, FOLFOX and IROX improved time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) compared to IFL. Here we update OS and TTP, and report an analysis of factors prognostic of pt outcome. Methods: 5 yr OS and TTP were calculated by Kaplan-Meier per treatment (rx) arm. Pt factors [rx arm, age, gender, prior adjuvant rx, body mass index (BMI), performance status (PS), number of disease sites (#sites), neutrophil count (ANC), hemoglobin, platelets, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALK), aspartate aminotransferase (AST)] were assessed for univariate association with OS, TTP, response rate (RR), and any grade =3 toxicity. Associated factors were included in multivariate Cox and logistic regression models. Results: After a median follow-up of 4.3 yrs, FOLFOX treated pts were more likely to live 5 yrs, 9.2% versus 5.4% for IROX (p=.016) and 3.8% for IFL (p<.001). Median TTP was also significantly longer in the FOLFOX arm, 9.2 mo vs 6.5 mo for IROX (p=<.001) and 6.0 mo for IFL (p=<.001). The prognostic model found higher PS, ANC and ALK, and more disease sites were prognostic of worse OS (see table ). Age = 70 was associated with poorer survival (HR death 1.33, p=.03), but not TTP, RR, or grade =3 toxicity. FOLFOX rx was the most powerful prognostic factor for TTP and OS. The odds of grade =3 toxicity were significantly higher in FOLFOX treated pts (OR 1.65, p<.001) and lower in men (OR .63, p<.001). No significant interactions between rx arm and pt factors were present, suggesting no factor examined is predictive of rx-specific outcome. Conclusions: 9% 5 yr OS in MCRC pts treated with first-line FOLFOX sets a new benchmark. We confirmed pre-rx PS, WBC, and ALK are prognostic for OS, though FOLFOX rx was the strongest prognostic factor. No factor was associated with differential outcome or toxicity by rx arm, thus these factors cannot be used to guide rx selection. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]
