TPS173 Background: Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer, and is the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. In patients with locally advanced or metastatic GC, fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-based combination chemotherapy is first-line standard of care. Despite refinement in chemotherapy regimens, outcomes are poor and survival after first-line treatment remains low. A subset of GCs exhibit platinum sensitivity and genomic instability that is characteristic of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase proteins 1 and 2 (PARP1/2) are involved in DNA damage repair, and their inhibition is cytotoxic for cells with HRD. Pamiparib is a selective PARP1/2 inhibitor that crosses the blood-brain barrier, has shown potent DNA–PARP trapping, and has demonstrated antitumor activity in preclinical models. In early phase clinical studies (NCT02361723; NCT03333915), pamiparib was generally well tolerated and showed preliminary antitumor activity; 60 mg oral twice daily (BID) was established as the recommended dose. Methods: This ongoing, global, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multicenter phase III study (NCT03427814) is designed to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of pamiparib vs placebo as maintenance therapy in ~540 patients with advanced GC who have responded to first-line, platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients who are ≤ 8 weeks after their last dose of first-line platinum based chemotherapy will be randomized 1:1 to receive either pamiparib 60 mg BID or placebo in 28-day cycles. Patient randomization will be stratified by genomic loss of heterozygosity status (ie, high vs low), region, and ECOG status. Radiologic assessments will be centrally evaluated per RECIST every 8 weeks after first dose. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival; key secondary endpoints include safety/tolerability, overall survival, objective response rates, time and duration of response, and time to second subsequent treatment. Correlative biomarker analyses in tumor tissues and blood will be performed. Clinical trial information: NCT03427814.

LBA7511 Background: INFORM (a phase III, randomized, multicenter, parallel group study; NCT00770588 ) investigated the efficacy, safety and tolerability of gefitinib (G) vs. placebo (P) as maintenance therapy in pts with locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC following standard first-line platinum based chemotherapy. Methods: Pts (≥18 years, with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC and WHO performance status 0-2) had completed 4 cycles of first-line platinum based doublet chemotherapy without progression/unacceptable toxicity. Pts were randomized 1:1 to G 250mg/day or P on discontinuation of first-line therapy. Progression-free survival (PFS; primary endpoint) was assessed in the intent to treat population (Cox proportional hazards adjusted for histology [adenocarcinoma vs. non-adenocarcinoma], smoking status [never-smoker vs. smoker], EGFR mutation status [positive vs. negative vs. unknown] and best response to first-line chemotherapy [complete response/partial response vs. stable disease]). PFS was considered superior with gefitinib if the G:P hazard ratio (HR) upper confidence interval (CI) was <1.00. Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate, disease control rate, symptom improvement and tolerability. Results: 296 pts (n=148 G, n=148 P) were randomized (27 centers in china; 26 September 2008-10 August 2009). PFS data cutoff on 24 January 2011. Median duration of follow-up was 16.8 months: 91% pts progressed; 59% deaths. Demography was balanced between treatments; overall, 54.1% pts were never-smokers, 70.6% had adenocarcinoma, and 40.9% were female. For G vs. P, PFS HR=0.42; 95% CI 0.32-0.54; p<0.0001; median PFS 4.8 vs. 2.6 months. Most common AEs (any grade) with G were rash (49.7%), diarrhea (25.2%), and ALT increase (21.1%) which were generally mild/moderate. Overall incidence of serious AEs: G (6.8%); P (3.4%). Other secondary endpoint data (including OS and biomarkers) will be presented. Conclusions: PFS was significantly longer with G compared with P as maintenance therapy in Chinese patients with locally advanced NSCLC.

TPS4648 Background: Gastric cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Capecitabine + oxaliplatin (CAPOX) is a standard first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. Claudin (CLDN)18.2 has emerged as a promising targetable biomarker. In healthy tissue, CLDN18.2, a tight junction protein, is confined to gastric mucosa (ie, cells in the pit and base regions of gastric glands). Upon malignant transformation, structural loss in gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma cells may allow antibodies more access to previously unavailable CLDN18.2. Zolbetuximab is a chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to CLDN18.2 and mediates cell death through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity. Results of a phase 2 study (NCT01630083) showed prolonged survival of patients with CLDN18.2-positive (CLDN18.2+) advanced G/GEJ adenocarcinoma treated with zolbetuximab + epirubicin, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine (EOX) vs EOX alone. Methods: This phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (NCT03653507) will enroll ~500 adult patients from global sites. Patients are required to have CLDN18.2+/HER2− locally advanced unresectable or metastatic G or GEJ adenocarcinoma that is radiographically evaluable per RECIST v1.1. Patients are not permitted to have received prior treatment with chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic G or GEJ adenocarcinoma. Patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either zolbetuximab plus CAPOX or placebo plus CAPOX. Randomization will be stratified by region (Asia vs non-Asia), number of metastatic sites (0 to 2 vs ≥3), and prior gastrectomy (yes vs no). Zolbetuximab will be administered at a loading dose of 800 mg/m2 IV on Cycle 1 Day 1 followed by 600 mg/m2 IV every 3 weeks. Central testing of tumor tissue will determine CLDN18.2 and HER2 status (if unknown); patients will be considered CLDN18.2+ if ≥75% of tumor cells demonstrate moderate-to-strong membranous immunohistochemical staining. The primary objective is to compare progression-free survival between treatment arms. Secondary endpoints are overall survival; objective response rate; duration of response; and the safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of zolbetuximab. As of January 31, 2020, 127 sites were active and open to enrollment. Clinical trial information: NCT03653507 .

TPS2656 Background: ESCC remains the predominant histological subtype of, and accounts for most deaths from, esophageal cancer. PD-1 inhibition has demonstrated antitumor activity and was generally well tolerated in patients (pts) with advanced unresectable or metastatic ESCC. Tislelizumab, an investigational anti-PD-1 antibody, was engineered to minimize binding to FcγR on macrophages to abrogate antibody-dependent phagocytosis, a mechanism of T-cell clearance and potential resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy. Results from early phase clinical studies suggest single-agent tislelizumab was generally well tolerated and had antitumor activity in pts with solid tumors, including ESCC. Methods: This phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study (NCT03783442) is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment of unresectable, locally advanced recurrent or metastatic ESCC. Adult pts with histologically confirmed ESCC that had metastatic disease either at first diagnosis or with a ≥6 month treatment-free interval will be eligible. Additional eligibility criteria include measurable/evaluable disease, ECOG performance score ≤1, and no prior anti-PD-(L)-1, PD-L2, or other first-line therapy or palliative radiation treatment ≤4 weeks before treatment. Approximately 480 pts will be randomized 1:1 to receive investigator-chosen chemotherapy (ICC) plus tislelizumab 200 mg IV Q3W or ICC plus placebo. Chemotherapy options include: platinum (cisplatin 60–80 mg/m2 or oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 IV Q3W) plus 5-FU 750–800 mg/m2 IV daily for 5 days Q3W; or platinum plus capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 orally BID for 14 days Q3W; or platinum + paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV Q3W. Progression-free survival and overall survival are coprimary endpoints; secondary endpoints include objective response rate, duration of response, and health-related quality-of-life. Safety will be assessed by monitoring adverse events, physical examinations, vital signs, and electrocardiograms. This study is actively enrolling. Clinical trial information: NCT03783442.

TPS648 Background: Up to 25% of BCs overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Patients with HER2+ disease have a higher rate of relapse and shorter overall survival (OS). Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting HER2, is the standard of care and improves OS for HER2+ BC, but acquired resistance is common. The combination of trastuzumab and paclitaxel has shown good tolerability and excellent objective response rates (ORR) in up to 84% of patients with HER2+ metastatic BC (MBC) (Gasparini G, et al. BCRT. 2007;101:355-65). Everolimus is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a protein kinase central to multiple protein synthesis pathways and implicated in trastuzumab resistance. Everolimus-containing regimens have shown promising results in patients with ER+, HER2– advanced BC in phase II/III trials; everolimus plus trastuzumab/paclitaxel or vinorelbine has shown encouraging ORR with an acceptable safety profile in phase I/II trials in patients with HER2+ MBC. The present phase III study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of adding everolimus to first-line standard therapy in HER2+ advanced BC. Methods: Women with HER2+, locally advanced or metastatic BC who have received no prior systemic therapy (except endocrine) are eligible. Local disease must not be amenable to resection with curative intent. Women with a history of central nervous system metastasis are excluded. Patients are randomized 2:1 (everolimus vs control) to receive standard therapy (paclitaxel and trastuzumab) plus everolimus (10 mg daily) or placebo. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival. Secondary endpoints include OS, ORR, and clinical benefit rate. Additional endpoints are safety, performance status, and biomarkers. This trial is sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals and is registered (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00876395). Enrollment began September 2009, with a planned accrual of 717. The current accrual is 719, and the estimated primary completion date is October 2012.

AbstractWhether extensive intraoperative peritoneal lavage (EIPL) after gastrectomy is beneficial to patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is not clear. This phase 3, multicenter, parallel-group, prospective randomized study (NCT02745509) recruits patients between April 2016 and November 2017. Eligible patients who had been histologically proven AGC with T3/4NxM0 stage are randomly assigned (1:1) to either surgery alone or surgery plus EIPL. The results of the two groups are analyzed in the intent-to-treat population. A total of 662 patients with AGC (329 patients in the surgery alone group, and 333 in the surgery plus EIPL group) are included in the study. The primary endpoint is 3-year overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoints include 3-year disease free survival (DFS), 3-year peritoneal recurrence-free survival (reported in this manuscript) and 30-day postoperative complication and mortality (previously reported). The trial meets pre-specified endpoints. Estimated 3-year OS rates are 68.5% in the surgery alone group and 70.6% in the surgery plus EIPL group (log-rank p = 0.77). 3-year DFS rates are 61.2% in the surgery alone group and 66.0% in the surgery plus EIPL group (log-rank p = 0.24). The pattern of disease recurrence is similar in the two groups. In conclusion, EIPL does not improve the 3-year survival rate in AGC patients.

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.
