10023 Background: The phase 3 IMspire150 study (NCT02908672) demonstrated improved progression-free survival with first-line combination treatment with A+C+V vs P+C+V in patients (pts) with previously untreated BRAFV600 mutation–positive advanced melanoma. Here we report incidence and time to development of CNS mets with A+C+V vs P+C+V in the IMspire150 study. Methods: Eligible pts were randomized 1:1 to receive A+C+V or P+C+V. A or P were given on day 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle after an initial cycle of C+V. Incidence and time to development of CNS mets were evaluated in pts with no history of CNS mets at baseline confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging/computed tomography (MRI/CT). On study MRI/CT assessments were performed as clinically indicated. Time-to-event outcomes were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and competing risks analysis. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using landmark analysis at time of initiation of A or P. Results: 514 pts were randomized to receive A+C+V (n = 256) or P+C+V (n = 258); 244 and 247 pts, respectively, had no history of CNS mets at baseline. After a median follow-up of 18.9 months, CNS mets had developed in 52/244 pts (21%) in the A+C+V arm and 62/247 pts (25%) in the P+C+V arm. In both arms, pts with CNS mets were more likely to have other known unfavorable prognostic factors: elevated LDH, presence of liver mets, and/or higher tumor burden. Cumulative incidence of CNS mets as first site of progressive disease with A+C+V vs P+C+V was 8% vs 9%, 16% vs 19%, 20% vs 24%, and 23% vs 26% at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, respectively (hazard ratio [HR] 0.87; 95% CI 0.60-1.26). Estimated CNS mets-free survival rates for A+C+V vs P+C+V were 91% vs 90%, 81% vs 75%, 74% vs 66%, and 69% vs 62% at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, respectively, with a trend for improved CNS mets-free survival with A+C+V (HR 0.79; 95% CI 0.55-1.14). Results of landmark analyses for CNS mets-free survival and cumulative incidence of CNS mets were similar to those in the overall analysis. Conclusions: The addition of anti–programmed death-ligand 1 to C+V is associated with numerically lower rates of interval development of CNS mets, consistent with the overall benefit observed for A+C+V in the study. This finding requires further follow-up to fully assess the magnitude of benefit of A+C+V on CNS mets-free survival. Clinical trial information: NCT02908672.

302 Background: In the phase III JAVELIN Renal 101 trial (NCT02684006), A + Ax demonstrated progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) benefit across IMDC risk groups (favorable, intermediate, and poor) vs S in patients with previously untreated aRCC. Here we report efficacy of A + Ax vs S by number of IMDC risk factors (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4-6) and target tumor sites (1, 2, 3, and ≥4) at baseline from the second interim analysis of overall survival (OS). Methods: Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive A 10 mg/kg intravenously every 2 wk + Ax 5 mg orally twice daily or S 50 mg orally once daily for 4 wk (6-wk cycle). PFS and ORR per independent central review (RECIST 1.1) and OS were assessed. Results: At data cut-off (Jan 2019), median (m) follow-up for OS and PFS was 19.3 vs 19.2 mo and 16.8 vs 15.2 mo for the A + Ax vs S arm, respectively. The table shows OS, PFS, and ORR by number of IMDC risk factors and target tumor sites at baseline. A + Ax generally demonstrated efficacy benefit vs S across subgroups. Conclusions: With extended follow-up, A + Ax generally demonstrated efficacy benefit vs S across the number of IMDC risk factors and tumor sites at baseline in aRCC. OS was still immature; follow-up for the final analysis is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT02684006 . [Table: see text]

Purpose There is no consensus on the optimal systemic treatment of patients with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. The IELSG-19 phase III study, to our knowledge, was the first such study to address the question of first-line treatment in a randomized trial. Patients and Methods Eligible patients were initially randomly assigned (1:1 ratio) to receive either chlorambucil monotherapy (6 mg/m2/d orally on weeks 1 to 6, 9 to 10, 13 to 14, 17 to 18, and 21 to 22) or a combination of chlorambucil (same schedule as above) and rituximab (375 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1 of weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 13, 17, and 21). After the planned enrollment of 252 patients, the protocol was amended to continue with a three-arm design (1:1:6 ratio), with a new arm that included rituximab alone (same schedule as the combination arm) and with a final sample size of 454 patients. The main end point was event-free survival (EFS). Analysis of chlorambucil versus the combination arm was performed and reported separately before any analysis of the third arm. Results At a median follow-up of 7.4 years, addition of rituximab to chlorambucil led to significantly better EFS (hazard ratio, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.38 to 0.77). EFS at 5 years was 51% (95% CI, 42 to 60) with chlorambucil alone, 50% (95% CI, 42 to 59) with rituximab alone, and 68% (95% CI, 60 to 76) with the combination ( P = .0009). Progression-free survival was also significantly better with the combination ( P = .0119). Five-year overall survival was approximately 90% in each arm. All treatments were well tolerated. No unexpected toxicities were recorded. Conclusion Rituximab in combination with chlorambucil demonstrated superior efficacy in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma; however, improvements in EFS and progression-free survival did not translate into longer overall survival.

Abstract Purpose: Alemtuzumab (MabCampath) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the CD52 antigen, which is highly expressed on most human B and T lymphocytes. Alemtuzumab has shown considerable activity in both relapsed/refractory CLL and in the frontline treatment setting. In a recent study, treatment with single-agent alemtuzumab induced MRD-negative remissions in 20% of patients with relapsed/refractory CLL (Moreton et al JCO 2005;23:2971–2979). Other studies suggest that MRD negativity can also be attained when alemtuzumab is administered as consolidation for patients with CLL who achieve incomplete initial responses to chemotherapy. Here, we report our long-term experience within a randomized phase III trial that investigates the role of alemtuzumab for consolidation therapy in patients with previously untreated CLL. Methods: Pts in complete or partial remission after induction chemotherapy, with either fludarabine (F) or fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide (FC), were randomized to receive either alemtuzumab 30 mg, 3 times a week for ≤12 wks or no further treatment. Of 21 eligible pts, who had responded to induction with F or FC (1 CR, 1 nPR, 9 PRs), 11 pts (median age: 60 years) randomized to receive alemtuzumab consolidation and 10 to the observation arm. Pts in the alemtuzumab arm received standard premedication and infection prophylaxis with famciclovir and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Results: After a median follow-up of 48 months, calculated from time of randomization within this consolidation trial, progression-free survival (PFS) was significantly improved for pts who received alemtuzumab consolidation compared to those who received no further treatment (median PFS not reached versus 20.6 months, P = 0.004). PFS from the beginning of induction therapy with F or FC is also significantly greater for patients in the alemtuzumab consolidation arm versus the observation arm. So far, 3 of 11 pts presented with disease progression after alemtuzumab consolidation compared with 8/10 progressing pts in the observation arm. Differences in PFS between both arms were not associated with disease stage before first line treatment, type of first line chemotherapy (F vs. FC) or response status before initiation of consolidation therapy (CR vs. nPR vs. PR). Correlations between achievement of MRD negative responses and PFS is still under investigation and is planned for presentation. With the exception of 2 patients (1 pt in each arm) all patients remain alive. The study was stopped prematurely due to severe infections (7 CTC III infections, which included 4 CMV reactivations, 1 CTC IV infection) in 7/11 patients being treated with alemtuzumab. However, these infections were successfully treated, not associated with the cumulative dose of alemtuzumab, and no late complications of consolidation therapy have been observed. Conclusions: Although based on few pts due to incomplete accrual, long-term PFS was significantly prolonged in patients with CLL receiving alemtuzumab consolidation after first line chemotherapy with F or FC. An ongoing phase I/II trial of the GCLLSG (CLL2i) is currently evaluating the optimal dose and schedule of alemtuzumab in CLL pts after fludarabine-based chemotherapy.

3615 Background: Retrospective data suggested that the continuation of BV with second-line CT beyond progression (PD) in pts who received BV in first-line can improve the outcome. Recently, results of the AIO/AMG ML18147 study demonstrated an improved overall survival (OS) by continuing BV beyond PD. Methods: This phase III study randomized pts with measurable mCRC treated in first-line with BV plus fluoropyrimidine, FOLFIRI, FOLFOX or FOLFOXIRI, to receive in second-line mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI (depending on first-line CT) with or without BV. The primary end-point was progression free survival (PFS).To detect a HR for PFS of 0.70 with an α and β error of 0.05 and 0.20 respectively, the study required 249 events. Assuming an accrual time of 24 months (mos) and a follow up of 12 mos we planned to randomize 262 pts. Results: Considering the results of the AIO/AMG ML18147 trial, the study accrual was stopped prematurely. A total of 185 pts were randomized and 184 pts were included in the ITT analysis (1 pt randomized in error). Pts characteristics were (arm A/arm B): number 92/92, gender M75%-F25%/M57%-F43%, median age 66 (38-75)/62 (38-75) years, PS=0 82%/82%, multiple site of disease 76%/77%. At a median follow up of 18 mos the study met its primary endpoint by improving PFS in the BV arm. We updated results and at a median follow up of 22 mos the improvement in PFS for the experimental arm was confirmed with a median PFS of 5.2 mos for arm A and 6.7 mos for arm B (HR=0.66; 95% CI 0.49–0.90; unstratified p=0.0072). Subgroup analyses showed a consistent benefit in all subgroups including gender (F: HR=0.63; M: HR=0.72) and first-line PFS (≤10 mos: HR=0.57; >10 mos: HR=0.71). Response rates (RECIST) were 18% and 21% (p=0.71). Toxicity profile was consistent with previously reported data. The OS data are still immature, with 56 events in arm A and 54 in arm B and the median OS is 16.0 mos and 16.5 mos respectively (HR=0.83; 95% CI 0.57-1.22; unstratified p=0.34). Conclusions: This study demonstrates an improvement in PFS by continuing BV in second-line in pts who had received CT+BV in first-line. Clinical trial information: NCT00720512.

8027 Background: The CLL14 trial demonstrated significant improvement of progression-free survival (PFS) with fixed-duration venetoclax-obinutuzumab (VenG) as compared to chlorambucil-obinutuzumab (ClbG) in patients with previously untreated CLL and coexisting conditions. Here, we report follow-up data on safety and efficacy. Methods: Patients with previously untreated CLL and coexisting conditions were randomized 1:1 to receive 12 cycles of venetoclax with 6 cycles of obinutuzumab or 12 cycles of chlorambucil with 6 cycles of obinutuzumab. Primary endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival. Key secondary endpoints were response rates, rates of minimal residual disease (measured every 6 months up to 5 years after last patient enrolment) and overall survival. Follow-up is ongoing but all patients are off study treatment. This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02242942. Results: Of the 432 enrolled patients, 216 were randomly assigned to receive VenG and 216 to receive ClbG. After a median follow-up of 39.6 months (interquartile range 36.75 - 43.04), progression-free survival continued to be superior for VenG as compared to ClbG (median not reached vs 35.6 months; hazard ratio [HR] 0.31 [0.22-0.44], p < 0.001). At 3 years, the estimated progression-free survival rate was 81.9% in the VenG arm and 49.5% in the ClbG arm. This benefit was consistently observed across all clinical and biological risk groups, including patients with TP53 mutation/deletion and unmutated IGHV status. Of note, PFS was also significantly longer for VenG treated patients with mutated IGHV status. Assessment of minimal residual disease 18 months after end of treatment showed that 47.2% of patients in the VenG arm had undetectable (u) uMRD ( < 10−4), 13% had low (L)-MRD (≥ 10−4 and < 10−2) and 7.9% high (H)-MRD (≥ 10−2), compared to 7.4% uMRD, 17.1% L-MRD, 26.9% H-MRD in the ClbG arm. No difference has been observed (HR 1.027, 95% CI 0.602-1.753, p = 0.921) for overall survival; median overall survival has not been reached in either group. Second primary malignancies were reported in 36 (17%) patients in the VenG arm and 22 (10.3%) in the ClbG arm. No new safety signals were observed. Conclusions: The results suggest that the superior efficacy and deep remissions after fixed-duration VenG are maintained during extended follow-up, and show the long-term benefits of 12 cycles of VenG across all known risk categories. Clinical trial information: NCT02242942 .

Abstract Objective: We examined the surgical approaches used at a single institution to treat petroclival meningioma and evaluated changes in method utilization over time. Methods: Craniotomies performed to treat petroclival meningioma between September of 1994 and July of 2005 were examined retrospectively. We reviewed 46 patients (mean follow-up, 3.6 yr). Techniques included combined petrosal or transcochlear approaches (15% of patients), retrosigmoid craniotomies with or without some degree of petrosectomy (59% of patients), orbitozygomatic craniotomies (7% of patients), and combined orbitozygomatic-retrosigmoid approaches (19% of patients). In 18 patients, the tumor extended supratentorially. Overall, the rate of gross total resection was 43%. Seven patients demonstrated progression over a mean of 5.9 years. No patients died. At 36 months, the progression-free survival rate for patients treated without petrosal approaches was 96%. Of 14 patients treated with stereotactic radiosurgery, none developed progression. Conclusion: Over the study period, a diminishing proportion of patients with petroclival meningioma were treated using petrosal approaches. Utilization of the orbitozygomatic and retrosigmoid approaches alone or in combination provided a viable alternative to petrosal approaches for treatment of petroclival meningioma. Regardless of approach, progression-free survival rates were excellent over short-term follow-up period.

Purpose Interim positron emission tomography (PET) using the tracer, [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose, may predict outcomes in patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas. We assessed whether PET can guide therapy in patients who are treated with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP). Patients and Methods Newly diagnosed patients received two cycles of CHOP—plus rituximab (R-CHOP) in CD20-positive lymphomas—followed by a PET scan that was evaluated using the ΔSUVmax method. PET-positive patients were randomly assigned to receive six additional cycles of R-CHOP or six blocks of an intensive Burkitt’s lymphoma protocol. PET-negative patients with CD20-positive lymphomas were randomly assigned or allocated to receive four additional cycles of R-CHOP or the same treatment with two additional doses rituximab. The primary end point was event-free survival time as assessed by log-rank test. Results Interim PET was positive in 108 (12.5%) and negative in 754 (87.5%) of 862 patients treated, with statistically significant differences in event-free survival and overall survival. Among PET-positive patients, 52 were randomly assigned to R-CHOP and 56 to the Burkitt protocol, with 2-year event-free survival rates of 42.0% (95% CI, 28.2% to 55.2%) and 31.6% (95% CI, 19.3% to 44.6%), respectively (hazard ratio, 1.501 [95% CI, 0.896 to 2.514]; P = .1229). The Burkitt protocol produced significantly more toxicity. Of 754 PET-negative patients, 255 underwent random assignment (129 to R-CHOP and 126 to R-CHOP with additional rituximab). Event-free survival rates were 76.4% (95% CI, 68.0% to 82.8%) and 73.5% (95% CI, 64.8% to 80.4%), respectively (hazard ratio, 1.048 [95% CI, 0.684 to 1.606]; P = .8305). Outcome prediction by PET was independent of the International Prognostic Index. Results in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma were similar to those in the total group. Conclusion Interim PET predicted survival in patients with aggressive lymphomas treated with R-CHOP. PET-based treatment intensification did not improve outcome.

Abstract Context: The natural history of malignant pheochromocytoma or paragangliomas (MPP) remain unknown. Objective: The primary aim of this study was to define progression-free survival at 1 year in therapy-naive patients with MPP. Secondary objectives were to characterize MPP and to look for prognostic parameters for progression at 1 year. Design and Setting: The files of MPP followed up between January 2001 and January 2011 in two French Endocrine Networks were retrospectively reviewed. Therapy-naive patients were enrolled. Main Outcome Measures: The main outcome was progression-free survival at 1 year in therapy-naive MPP patients according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors 1.1 criteria. Results: Ninety files (46 men, 44 women, mean age of 47.5 ± 15 years) were reviewed on site by one investigator. MPP characteristics were as follows: presence of an adrenal primary, a mitotic count exceeding 5 per high power field, hypertension, inherited disease, and presence of bone metastases in 50%, 22%, 60%, 49%, and 56% patients, respectively. Fifty-seven of the 90 patients with MPP (63%) were classified as therapy-naive. The median follow-up of these 57 patients was 2.4 years (range, 0.4–5.7). At 1 year, progression-free survival was 46% (CI 95: 33–59). Twenty-six of 30 (87%) patients with progression at 1 year had exhibited progressive disease at the first imaging workup performed after a median of 5.7 months. No prognostic parameter was identified. Conclusions: Half of the therapy-naive patients with MPP achieved stable disease at 1 year. In symptom-free patients with MPP, a wait-and-see antitumor policy seems appropriate as first line. Modality for a prospective follow-up is proposed.

Abstract BackgroundSoft tissue sarcoma(STS) is a malignant tumor of highly heterogeneous mesenchymal origin. STS has a biologic pattern and clinical transformation with localized invasive growth and susceptibility to hematogenous metastasis. Metastatic and recurrent soft tissue sarcoma may be treated by local therapeutic options, including surgery and radiation therapy. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of SBRT for metastatic and recurrent soft tissue sarcoma.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of 37 STS patients with 58 lesions treated with SBRT from 2009-2019 at our institution. We analyze the local control (LC), overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS) and toxicity rates of the patients.ResultThe median follow-up was 20 months(range 2 to 120 months). One and two year LC rates were 75.3% and 55.2% [95% confidence interval (CI) 20–25 months]. Median OS was 24 months and the survival rates were 66.6%, 45% and 26.6% at 1, 2 and 3-year after SBRT. Median PFS were 11months (95% CI 8–18 months). No acute or chronic grade ≥ 3 toxicity was observed.ConclusionsIn patients with metastatic and recurrent STS, LC, OS and PFS were higher than expected. SBRT should be a proper treatment option for STS.

Background: Fanconi anemia (FA) is the most frequent genetic cause of bone marrow failure (BMF) due to a DNA repair mechanism defect. The natural history of FA is marked by progressive BMF during early childhood. Throughout life, the hematopoietic situation may change by clonal evolution toward myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative treatment for bone marrow failure in FA patients. The role of HSCT for FA patients with AML or advanced MDS is less defined. Currently, HSCT first line result offers 50% Overall Survival (OS) for patients with cytogenetic abnormalities only and 30% OS for patients with advanced MDS or AML in FA (Ayas et al., JCO 2013; Mitchell et al., BJH 2014). We previously reported a FLAG-sequential approach in 6 patients with FA (5 AML and 1 advanced MDS), all alive at a median follow-up of 28 months (Talbot et al., Hematologica 2014). We update here those patients and report 12 more patients treated by FLAG-sequential since then. Materials & Methods: This retrospective study (2006-2019) was conducted in 7 centers in France and Brazil on behalf of the French Reference Center for Aplastic Anemia to evaluate FLAG-sequential in FA patients with morphological clonal evolution (no patients with cytogenetic abnormalities only). The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Anonymous data collection was declared to the appropriate authorities. The FLAG-sequential treatment consisted of FLAG, Fludarabine 30 mg/m²/d for five days and Cytarabine 1 g/m²x2/d with G-CSF for five days, which was followed three weeks later by Cyclophosphamide 10 mg/kg/d for four days, Fludarabine 30 mg/m²/d for four days and TBI 2 Gy (Fig 1A). In a haploidentical setting, Cyclophosphamide at 30 mg/kg/d was performed only in post-transplantation, at Days +4 and +5 (Fig 1B). Results: Eighteen patients were included with 14 AML, 1 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and 3 RAEB-2 (Table 1). The median age at the time of HSCT was 22 years (4-37 years). Fifteen patients (83%) were older than 10 years at the time of HSCT. The median follow-up was 31 months (3- 153 months). Eight patients (44%) had complex karyotype. None of the included patients had a history of solid malignancies before HSCT. All patients engrafted. The cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment at Day 60 was 94% (95% CI 63-100%) with a median of 18 days (12-343 days). The cumulative incidence of platelet engraftment at Day 60 was 83% (95% CI 50%-96%) with a median of 25 days (17-245 days). The donor chimerism was complete at Day +100 for 15 patients. The three patients without full donor chimerism at Day +100 either had a relapse (n=1) and 2 early deaths before Day+100 from steroid-refractory aGVHD (n=1) or septic shock (n=1). None of the patients received a second HSCT. Non-relapse mortality (NRM) at 3 years was 32% (95% CI 6-58%) (Fig 2). Cumulative incidence of grades II to IV aGVHD was 56% (35% grades III to IV). Cumulative incidence of extensive cGVHD was 16%. Infectious complications during HSCT include the following: CMV (n=8), EBV (n=2), adenovirus (n=4), BK virus (n=7), respiratory syncytial virus (n=1), candidaemias (n=2) and invasive aspergillosis (n=3). Progression free survival (PFS) and OS at 3 years were 53% (95%CI 32-89%) and 53% (95%CI 32-89%), respectively (Fig 2). Cumulative incidence of relapse at 3 years was 13% (95%CI 0-31%) (Fig 2). Seven patients died during the study. Causes of death were relapse (n=2), aGVHD (n=2), cGVHD (n=1), septic shock (n=1), and respiratory syncytial virus associated with invasive aspergillosis (n=1). GVHD-relapse free survival (GRFS) at 3 years was 48% (95%CI 29-78%). One patient had anal epidermoid carcinoma at 4 years after HSCT, which required multiple surgical ablations. Conclusion: With almost 3 years follow-up, which is long enough for our results to be considered robust, we report an OS and PFS of 53%, which compares favorably to historical controls since all of our 18 patients were treated with florid disease at time of HSCT (and not with cytogenetic abnormality only, known to be associated with a better prognosis). Toxicity is still a concern in this particular population of FA patients with notably a high rate of infectious complications. Future well designed prospective clinical trials will refine this sequential strategy, which appears promising in this particular difficult clinical situation.
