7519 Background: VEN-based low intensity regimens have shown promise in older pts with newly diagnosed (ND) AML. We hypothesized that adding VEN to 10-day (d) DEC may improve outcomes in AML and HR MDS. Methods: Pts received VEN 400 mg daily or equivalent with DEC 20 mg/m2 for 10d every 4-8 weeks for induction and DEC 5d with VEN for consolidation after CR/CRi. If cycle 1 day 21 bone marrow showed ≤5% blasts, VEN was held to enable count recovery. VEN duration could be further reduced for myelosuppression. FLT3 and IDH inhibitors were allowed for applicable pts. All pts received tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) prophylaxis. Primary objective was overall response rate (ORR). Secondary objectives were safety and overall survival (OS). Data cut-off date was February 6, 2020. Results: Between January 2018 and December 2019 we enrolled 184 pts with ND AML (>60 yrs), untreated secondary AML (sAML), treated sAML, relapsed/refractory (R/R) AML and HR MDS (Table). 58% pts were ≥70 yrs, 30% pts had ECOG PS ≥2, 67% pts had ELN adverse risk AML. Previously treated pts (n=96) had received a median of 1 prior therapy (range 1-8) including HMA (62), intensive chemotherapy (49) and stem cell transplantation (SCT, 27). 30d mortality was 3.3% and 60d mortality was 7.6%. 30d mortality in ND AML was 1.4%. Most common G3/4 adverse events were infections with G3/4 neutropenia (46%), febrile neutropenia (28%), infections with ANC ≥1x109/L (6%) and TLS (3%). Outcomes are shown in Table. 25 pts (14%) proceeded to SCT including treatment naive AML (ND+ untreated sAML, 12), previously treated AML (treated sAML + R/R, 11) and HR MDS (2). 100d post-SCT mortality was 4%. Median OS in treatment naïve AML pts undergoing SCT was not reached (1yr OS 100%) and for previously treated AML pts was 22.1 months (mo). After a median follow up of 15 mos, 25% PTS continue therapy. Additional analyses by molecular subgroups will be presented. Conclusions: DEC10-VEN is safe and highly effective in ND AML and can serve as an effective bridge to SCT in previously treated pts. Trial continues to accrue (NCT03404193).

4046 Background: Angiogenesis and immunosuppression are hallmarks of tumor growth. This is the first study to combine R (anti-VEGFR2) with P (anti-PD-1) to simultaneously target both processes in the tumor microenvironment. Methods: Ongoing, multi-cohort, phase 1a/b trial enrolled pts with G/GEJ adenocarcinoma, measurable disease, ECOG PS 0-1, previously treated (Cohorts A and B) or untreated (Cohort A2) for advanced disease. PD-L1 was positive (tumor proportion score [TPS] ≥1%) or negative (TPS < 1%) using the DAKO PD-L1 22C3 IHC pharmDx assay. R was administered at 8 mg/kg on Days 1&8 (Cohorts A and A2) or 10 mg/kg on Day 1 (Cohort B) with P 200 mg on Day 1 q3W. Primary objective- assess safety and tolerability of R+P; preliminary efficacy will be examined. Results: As of 21-Nov-2016, 41 previously treated G/GEJ pts were enrolled. Median age was 58 y, 76% male, 66% had ECOG PS of 1, 46% were PD-L1+, and 59% received study treatment as third or subsequent line. Median duration on therapy was 2.8 mo and 4.1 mo for A and B, respectively. Overall, 33 (80%) pts experienced a treatment-related AE (TRAE) and similar between cohorts A and B. Ten (24%) pts experienced grade 3-4 TRAEs, most commonly colitis (7%) and hypertension (7%). One treatment-related death occurred (pneumonitis and pulmonary sepsis). Responses occurred in 3 (7%) pts with 46% disease control rate (DCR). Progression-free and overall survival rates at 6 mo were 22.4 % (95% CI, 9.8-38.0) and 51.2% (95% CI, 33.9-66.1) respectively. Nine (22%) pts remain on treatment. Eighteen of 25 planned treatment naïve G/GEJ pts were enrolled. Median age was 70 yr, 83% male, 56% had ECOG PS of 0, and PD-L1 status is pending. Median duration on therapy was 2.1 mo. Twelve (67%) pts experienced a TRAE. Grade 3 TRAEs occurred in 5 (28%) pts (hypertension [n = 3], diarrhea, and acute kidney injury). No grade 4-5 events occurred. Preliminary efficacy data showed 3 (17%) pts responded with 50% DCR. Median PFS is immature and 89% of pts remain on treatment. Conclusions: R+P generated no new safety signals and demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity in treatment naïve and previously treatedadvanced G/GEJ adenocarcinoma. Clinical trial information: NCT02443324.

LBA9000^ Background: The humanized monoclonal IgG4 anti-PD-1 antibody MK-3475 has demonstrated durable antitumor activity in MEL and NSCLC. We evaluated MK-3475 efficacy and safety in a pooled analysis of 411 MEL pts. Methods: A nonrandomized cohort of ipilimumab-naive (IPI-N) and IPI-treated (IPI-T) pts treated with MK-3475 10 mg/kg Q2W, 10 mg/kg Q3W, or 2 mg/kg Q3W and randomized cohorts of IPI-N and IPI-T pts treated with 2 Q3W or 10 Q3W were included. Response was assessed every 12 wk by RECIST 1.1 by independent central review and by immune-related response criteria (irRC) by investigator. Results: 162 pts were treated at 2 Q3W, 192 at 10 Q3W, and 57 at 10 Q2W. 190 pts were IPI-N and 221 were IPI-T. As of the 10/18/2013 cutoff, all pts had ≥6 mo follow-up and >75% had ≥9 mo follow-up. Among the 365 pts with measurable disease at baseline, ORR by RECIST was 40% (95% CI 32%-48%) in IPI-N and 28% (95% CI 22%-35%) in IPI-T pts. Responses were durable (88% ongoing at analysis). Median PFS by RECIST was 24 wk in IPI-N and 23 wk in IPI-T pts. Median OS was not reached, with 1-y OS of 71% in all pts. Benefit was observed by both RECIST and irRC at all doses and schedules in IPI-N and IPI-T pts (Table). MK-3475 demonstrated activity in all major subgroups irrespective of ECOG PS, LDH levels, BRAFmutation, M stage, and number and type of prior therapy. Overall, 12% of pts experienced drug-related grade 3/4 AEs and 4% discontinued due to a drug-related AE. There were no drug-related deaths. Conclusions: MK-3475 showed durable responses and a manageable safety profile across dose and schedules in IPI-N and IPI-T MEL pts. The observed efficacy and safety suggest MK-3475 may be an appropriate treatment for all pts with MEL. Clinical trial information: NCT01295827. [Table: see text]

LBA9015 Background: Pembrolizumab (pembro) monotherapy has demonstrated durable antitumor activity in advanced PD-L1–expressing NSCLC. We present 5-y OS for patients (pts) enrolled in the phase 1b KEYNOTE-001 study (NCT01295827), the first trial evaluating pembro in advanced NSCLC. These data provide the longest efficacy/safety follow-up for NSCLC pts treated with pembro. Methods: Pts had confirmed locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC and provided a contemporaneous tumor sample for PD-L1 evaluation by IHC using the 22C3 antibody. Pts received pembro 2 mg/kg Q3W or 10 mg/kg Q2W or Q3W. The primary efficacy endpoint was ORR. OS was a secondary endpoint. Results: 550 pts were enrolled (treatment-naive, n=101; previously treated, n=449). As of November 5, 2018 (data cutoff), median (range) follow-up was 60.6 (51.8–77.9) mo; 82% (n=450/550) had died. Estimated 5-y OS rates were 23.2% for treatment-naive pts and 15.5% for previously treated pts (Table). ORR (by investigator per irRC) was 42% (95% CI, 32–52) for treatment-naive pts and 23% (95% CI, 19–27) for previously treated pts. Median (range) DOR was 16.8 (2.1+ to 55.7+) mo and 38.9 (1.0+ to 71.8+) mo, respectively. Immune-mediated AEs had occurred in 17% of pts at 5 y, similar to the incidence reported at 3-y follow-up. Additional results, including outcomes in key subgroups and detailed safety follow-up data, will be presented. Conclusions: In KEYNOTE-001, 5-y OS rate was 23.2% in treatment-naive pts and 15.5% in previously treated pts with advanced NSCLC treated with pembro, compared to a historical rate of ~5% (per SEER 2008–2014), prior to the introduction of anti–PD-1 therapy. 5-y OS rate was at least 25% in pts with PD-L1 TPS ≥50% in both pt populations in KEYNOTE-001. Clinical trial information: NCT01295827. [Table: see text]

8034 Background: Nintedanib (N) is an oral inhibitor of VEGFR, FGFR, and PDGFR. This global phase 3 study investigated the safety and efficacy of N + pemetrexed (PEM) vs placebo (P) + PEM in patients (pts) with advanced, non-squamous NSCLC previously treated with chemotherapy. Methods: Pts were randomized 1:1 to N 200 mg po bid + PEM 500 mg/m2 iv q21d (n=353, Arm A) or P + PEM (n=360, Arm B). Continuation until PD or unacceptable toxicity with N, P, PEM, or a combination was permitted. 1° endpoint was centrally reviewed PFS. The null hypothesis was tested on the ITT population after 394 events had occurred (two sided α=5%). 2° endpoints included OS, investigator-assessed PFS, response rate (RR), safety, and QoL. Results: Baseline pt characteristics were balanced between Arm A vs B (median age 59 y, female 45–42%, ECOG PS 1 62-61%, adenocarcinoma 95–93%, prior bevacizumab 8%). Based on a planned DMC futility analysis of investigator-assessed PFS, enrolment was halted after randomizing 713/1300 planned pts (no safety issues identified). Ongoing pts were unblinded and follow-up continued per protocol. Subsequent ITT analysis of the 1° endpoint (centrally reviewed PFS) favored Arm A vs B (median 4.4 vs 3.6 mo, HR 0.83 [95% CI: 0.7–0.99], p=0.04). Disease control was also significantly improved in N-treated pts (61 vs 53%, odds ratio 1.37, p=0.039). No difference in OS (HR 1.03) or RR (9%) was found. Exploratory analyses identified time since start of 1st-line therapy as a predictive marker of improved outcome with N + PEM (ASCO 2013). There was no increase in SAEs or G5 AEs with N + PEM. Addition of N to PEM resulted in a higher incidence of ≥G3 elevated ALT (23 vs 7%), elevated AST (12 vs 2%), and diarrhea (3 vs 1%), but no difference in ≥G3 hypertension, bleeding, thrombosis, mucositis, or neuropathy. Conclusions: The 1° endpoint was met even though the study was stopped prematurely. Treatment with N + PEM significantly improved centrally reviewed PFS vs P + PEM in pts with advanced non-squamous NSCLC previously treated with chemotherapy, and had a manageable safety profile. Clinical trial information: NCT00806819.

216 Background: Previously presented data from cohorts (C) 1-3 of the phase 2 KEYNOTE-199 study (n = 258; NCT02787005) showed that pembrolizumab monotherapy had antitumor activity and acceptable safety in patients (pts) with mCRPC previously treated with next-generation hormonal agents (NHAs; eg, abiraterone, enzalutamide) and docetaxel. Activity was observed for both PD-L1–positive and negative cohorts and in RECIST-measurable and bone-predominant disease. We present data from KEYNOTE-199 C1, C2, and C3 based on longer-follow-up. Methods: C1 enrolled 133 pts with RECIST-measurable, PD-L1–positive disease, C2 enrolled 66 pts with RECIST-measurable, PD-L1–negative disease, and C3 enrolled 59 pts with nonmeasurable, bone-predominant disease. All pts had ECOG PS 0-2 and received ≥1 NHA and 1-2 prior chemotherapies including docetaxel. Pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W was given for 35 cycles or until PD or intolerable toxicity. Response was assessed Q9W in yr 1, then Q12W. Primary end point was ORR per RECIST v1.1 by central review. Key secondary end points included DCR (CR + PR + SD ≥6 mo), duration of response (DOR), OS, and safety. Results: Median follow-up as of Aug 21, 2018, was 9.5 mo in C1, 7.9 mo in C2, and 14.1 mo in C3. ORR (95% CI) was 5% (2-11) in C1 and 3% ( < 1-11) in C2. DCR was 10% in C1, 9% in C2, and 22% in C3 per RECIST v1.1. Median (range) DOR was not reached (1.9-21.8+ mo) in C1 and 10.6 mo (4.4-16.8) in C2; KM estimates of DOR ≥12 mo were 71% and 50%. Median (95% CI) OS was 9.5 mo (6.4-11.9) in C1, 7.9 mo (5.9-10.2) in C2, and 14.1 (10.8-17.6) in C3. 12-mo OS rates were 41% in C1, 35% in C2, and 62% in C3; 18-mo rates were 30%, 21%, and 36%. Grade 3-5 drug-related AE rates were 15% in C1, 14% in C2, and 17% in C3. There were 2 drug-related deaths (n = 1 each sepsis and pneumonitis). Conclusions: Pembrolizumab shows antitumor activity and disease control with acceptable safety in RECIST-measurable and bone-predominant mCRPC previously treated with NHAs and docetaxel. Responses are durable, and the observed OS benefit is promising. Clinical trial information: NCT02787005.

4012 Background: Preliminary analyses from the global, multicohort, phase 2 KEYNOTE-059 (NCT02335411) study suggested that safety of pembro + 5-FU + cisplatin is manageable as 1L therapy in pts with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer (cohort 2). We present efficacy and updated safety data from KEYNOTE-059 cohort 2. Methods: Cohort 2 enrolled pts ≥18 y with HER2 – recurrent or metastatic G/GEJ adenocarcinoma, measurable disease, no prior therapy for metastatic/advanced disease, and ECOG PS 0-1. Pts received pembro 200 mg on day 1 of each 21-day cycle + cisplatin 80 mg/m2 for 6 cycles + 5-FU 800 mg/m2 (or capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 in Japan) Q3W for up to 2 y or until disease progression, investigator/pt decision to withdrawal, or unacceptable toxicity. PD-L1+pts had expression in ≥1% tumor or stromal cells using IHC (22C3 antibody). End points were safety and tolerability (primary), ORR (RECIST v1.1, by central review), DOR, PFS, and OS (secondary). Results: Of 25 enrolled pts, 64% were men, 68% were Asian, and 64% had PD-L1+ tumors. Median age was 64 y. At data cutoff (Oct 19, 2016), median duration of follow-up was 12.2 mo (range, 1.8 to 19.6) and 84% of pts had discontinued treatment, mainly owing to clinical or radiologic disease progression (64%). ORR (CR + PR) was 60% (95% CI, 38.7-78.9) in all pts. Overall, 32% of pts had SD (95% CI, 14.9-53.5), 4% had PD (95% CI, 0.1-20.4), and 4% were not evaluable (95% CI, 0.1-20.4). ORR was 68.8% (95% CI, 41.3-89.0) in PD-L1+ pts and 37.5% (95% CI, 8.5-75.5) in PD-L1– pts. Median DOR (range) was 4.6 mo (2.6 to 14.4+) in all pts, 4.6 mo (3.2 to 14.4+) in PD-L1+ pts, and 5.4 mo (2.8 to 8.3+) in PD-L1–pts. Median PFS was 6.6 mo (95% CI, 5.9-10.6); median OS was 13.8 mo (95% CI, 7.3-not estimable). Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 76% of pts. TRAEs led to discontinuation in 3 pts (grade 3 stomatitis, grade 2 hypoacusis, and grade 1 creatinine increase). No TRAEs were fatal. Conclusions: Pembro + 5-FU + cisplatin showed manageable safety and encouraging antitumor activity as 1L therapy for pts with advanced G/GEJ cancer. Further exploration of pembro + 5-FU + cisplatin in this setting is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT02335411.

278 Background: Tivozanib (T) is a potent and highly selective VEGF receptor (R) tyrosine kinase inhibitor in clinical development for RCC. Axitinib is also a potent and selective VEGF-R inhibitor now commonly part of front-line aRCC treatment. The activity of T after axitinib has not been previously defined. The activity of T after prior therapy types including axitinib is of clinical relevance. Methods: The pivotal TIVO-3 study enrolled subjects with mRCC who failed 2 or 3 prior systemic regimens, one of which included a VEGFR TKI, stratified by IMDC risk category and type of prior therapy (two TKIs; TKI plus checkpoint; TKI + other) then randomized in a 1:1 ratio to T or S. The primary objective of the overall trial was to compare progression free survival (PFS) by blinded independent radiological review. Patients with prior axitinib received as monotherapy in the second or third line setting and other predefined subgroups were reviewed for outcome with T. Results: Patients treated with T after prior axitinib had a PFS of 5.5 months and an ORR of 13% compared to 3.7 months and 8% for patients treated with S. Other subgroups are presented in the table below. Clinical trial information: NCT02627963 . Conclusions: Tivozanib improved PFS vs. sorafenib in patients who have progressed after multiple VEGFR-TKIs, including patients with prior second or third line axitinib treatment. These results suggest differential activity from tivozanib and axitinib despite both being potent and selective VEGF-R inhibitors. [Table: see text]

Abstract Introduction: TGR-1202 is a next generation, once daily, oral PI3Kδ inhibitor that displays promising clinical activity in patients with relapsed and refractory hematologic malignancies, with a differentiated safety and tolerability profile compared to other PI3Kδ inhibitors (Burris, ASCO 2015). Obinutuzumab is a glycoengineered Type II anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody approved for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in combination with chlorambucil. TGR-1202 has previously been combined with a similarly glycoengineered Type I anti-CD20 mAb, ublituximab, demonstrating clinical activity in patients with heavily pre-treated hematologic malignancies (Lunning, ASCO 2015). The purpose of this study is to explore the safety and efficacy of TGR-1202 + obinutuzumab + chlorambucil in patients with CLL, evaluating a novel treatment regimen of a glycoengineered anti-CD20 with a PI3Kδ inhibitor. Methods: Eligible patients have a diagnosis of CLL/SLL with an ECOG PS ≤ 2. TGR-1202 is escalated in a 3 + 3 design. Cohort 1 was intiated at 800 mg of an initial formulation, with an improved micronized formulation introduced in Cohort 2 at 400 mg and increased in subsequent cohorts. Obinutuzumab is administered as a fixed IV infusion at 1000 mg on days 1, 8 and 15 of cycle 1, followed by day 1 of cycles 2 - 6. Chlorambucil is administered at 0.5 mg/kg on days 1 and 15 of cycle 1 and optional for cycles 2 - 6. After cycle 6, patients remain on TGR-1202 monotherapy until disease progression. Safety is the primary endpoint and is evaluated by CTCAE v. 4.0. Efficacy (ORR and duration of response) is a secondary endpoint, with responses evaluated according to IWCLL (Hallek, et. al. 2008). Results: As of August 2015, 18 patients (15 naïve/3 rel/ref) have been enrolled: Median age is 66 years (range 51-85y); 12 female/6 male, median ECOG PS = 1. FISH from the 3 relapsed patients are del13q/del17p, del11q/del17p and del11q/+12/del13q and 4 treatment naïve patients with 11q del only. All patients are evaluable for safety: AE's have been manageable, with neutropenia (61% Gr3/4), thrombocytopenia (33% Gr3/4) and increases in ALT/AST (28% Gr3/4) being the most frequent Gr3/4 events reported. Chlorambucil was discontinued in 4 patients in cycle 2 due to adverse events. No patient discontinued TGR-1202 due to ALT/AST elevations or neutropenia. 17 patients are evaluable for efficacy of which 14 were treatment naïve and 3 were previously treated, notably all 3 of which had previously progressed on a BTK inhibitor. To date, 93% (13/14) of the treatment naïve patients have achieved an objective response, including 4/14 (28%) complete responses, while 2/3 previously treated patients have achieved a response. The remaining 2 patients not in response have stable disease with 48% and 42% nodal reductions, respectively, with both remaining on study. Notably 6 of the 14 treatment naïve patients (43%) are MRD negative by peripheral blood. Conclusions: The combination of TGR-1202 + obinutuzumab + chlorambucil is well tolerated, with clinical activity observed in all patients, including patients with del17p, previously progressing on a BTK inhibitor. 7/14 (50%) of treatment naïve patients, including those with del11q, achieved either a CR or MRD negativity. Neutropenia, the highest reported AE, was manageable. Notably the ALT/AST increases observed with this combination have not been seen when TGR-1202 is administered as a single agent or in combination with another glycoengineered anti-CD20 mAb, ublituximab (<5% ALT/AST increase; N=137; O'Connor, ICML 2015).

3576 Background: Obatoclax (Ob) is a small-molecule antagonist of all the Bcl-2 prosurvival proteins. In vitro it enhances the effects of the drugs cisplatin and etoposide. Bcl-2 family proteins are frequently expressed in SCLC, and SCLC cell lines are sensitive to Ob. Methods: This study was designed to find the maximal tolerated doses (MTD) of oOb when given on a 21 day (D) cycle together with carboplatin (AUC 5 D1) and etoposide (100 mg/m2 D1–3), in separate dose escalations using Ob as a 3-hr infusion D1–3 and as a 24-hr infusion D1–3. Eligible patients had ES-SCLC, measurable disease, ≤1 prior therapy, ECOG PS ≤1, and adequate hematological, renal and hepatic function. 3- 6 patients were enrolled into ascending dose cohorts with standard DLT rules evaluating safety in C1 to determine dose escalation. Results: 24 patients were enrolled into 5 dosing cohorts (14 males; median age 67). A total of 66 cycles (C) have been administered to date. There were no DLTs in the initial cohorts using Ob 15 mg over 3 hr or Ob 30 mg over 24 hr. Two DLTs occurred in the Ob 30 mg over 3 hr cohort - both due to myelosuppression in previously treated patients. As a result, the trial was amended to exclude previously treated patients. 5 previously untreated patients receiving Ob 30 over 3 hr had no DLTs. There were no DLTs in the Ob 45 mg over 24 hr cohort but 2 patients in the Ob 24-hr infusion cohorts had infusion pump malfunctions while at home. There were 2 DLTs in the Ob 45 mg over 3 hr cohort (somnolence, euphoria, & disorientation) establishing MTD of Ob 30 mg over 3 hr daily x 3. After C2 the 6 previously untreated patients on Ob 24-hr infusion cohorts had 3 PRs, 1 SD, 1 PD, and 1 Unk; the 2 previously treated patients had PRs. After C2 all 7 previously-untreated patients at 15 or 30 mg in the 3-hr infusion cohorts have PR; the 3 previously treated patients had SD. Conclusions: Ob can be combined with carboplatin and etoposide using either a 3-hr or a 24-hr infusion, and both regimens are associated with high early response rates in ES-SCLC, perhaps due to inhibition of mcl-1. Due to practical issues with the 24-hr infusion arm, the 3-hr 30 mg MTD dose will be utilized in a randomized phase II versus carboplatin and etoposide alone. [Table: see text]

8567 Background: Vemurafenib (vem) has been FDA approved for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic BRAFV600E mutated melanoma since August 2011 based on results of a randomized phase III study (treatment-naive) and a single arm phase II study (previously treated). We report results of an expanded access study that allowed appropriate patients (pts) to receive vem until the drug was approved. Methods: Eligible pts had metastatic melanoma with a BRAFV600E mutation as detected by the cobas 4800 BRAFV600 Mutation Test. Enrolled pts received oral vem 960 mg b.i.d. Adverse events (AEs) were evaluated for vem-related toxicities; tumor responses were assessed using RECIST 1.1. Results: 29 US sites screened 745 pts and enrolled 374 from December 2010 until October 2011. The following results are based on a median follow up time and treatment duration of 2 months. At baseline, mean age of pts was 54 y with 22% of pts ≥65 y; 75% had stage M1c disease; 29% had received radiotherapy for brain metastases. 19% of pts were ECOG PS 2 or 3; 71% of pts had prior systemic therapy for metastatic melanoma (21% 1 regimen; 50% ≥2 regimens). 50 pts had prior adjuvant treatment. At data cut-off, 243 pts had sufficient follow-up time for tumor assessment. In this group, the unconfirmed overall response rate was 52% (95% CI, 46 to 59). The median time to response was 1.8 months. Based on 240 pts with available ECOG PS status at time of analysis, response rate was 53% for pts with ECOG PS 0 or 1 (n=209), and 45% for pts with ECOG PS 2 or 3 (n=31). 370 pts were evaluable for safety analysis. The most common vem-related AEs were rash (36%), arthralgia (33%) and fatigue (21%) with the majority (~90%) of grade 1 or 2. 25 vem-related serious AEs were reported in 5.4% of pts with a slightly higher rate of pts with ECOG PS 2 or 3 (8.7%) compared to ECOG PS 0 or 1 (4.7%). 18% of pts missed at least one dose and 11% of pts required dose reduction of at least one level due to AEs. Conclusions: This expanded access study, with its limited follow-up time, confirms the established rapid and high tumor response rate with vem. No new safety signals were detected. Compared to the overall population, pts with an ECOG PS 2 or 3 demonstrated a similar benefit.
