Use of a real-world data approach to rapidly generate outcomes data following a case study of a novel treatment combination in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

e16735 Background: We use a real-world data approach to report on safety and benefits on metastatic pancreatic cancer pts who were treated with a MEK inhibitor plus hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) after exhausting all other treatment options. MEK inhibition acts on the KRAS pathway, which in turn increases autophagy as a resistance mechanism, furthermore, HCQ inhibits autophagy causing a cytotoxic effect. This combination was shown to diminish tumor volume in xenograft mouse models and a partial response in one heavily pre-treated patients was reported. Methods: XCELSIOR is an IRB approved, patient-centric, real-world data and outcomes registry for developing operational and analytic methods in precision oncology. Searching the XCELSIOR database, we identified 14 pts for whom this regimen had been considered. As part of their participation in XCELSIOR, these patients shared access to their full medical records, which were collected, processed, and abstracted into a 21 CFR 11 compliant database for analysis. We additionally collected de-identified data on 12 pts treated with this combination from five academic centers. Three more patients are expected to start treatment soon. Results: Between March 2018 and January 2020, 15 patients treated with the trametinib/HCQ combination and 3 patients treated with cobimetinib/HCQ were identified in XCELSIOR and five academic institutions. The median age at diagnosis was 64 (range 43-74) and 56% were male. For patients treated with trametinib/HCQ, the median time on treatment was 67 days (range 5-172 days), 11 patients were treated for more than 30 days (median time 97 days). The median PFS for this group was 2.9 months and the median OS was 7.4 months. The clinical benefit rate was 60% for the 10 evaluable patients treated with trametinib/HCQ, 1 patient had a partial response (previously published), 5 had stable disease (for at least 8 weeks) and 4 had progressive disease (physician reported). 2/3 patients treated with cobimetinib/HCQ were on treatment for more than 30 days and all three had progressive disease within 7 weeks. The most common side effects were Grade 1 fatigue and Grade 1/2 rash for both combinations. An additional 3 patients will start treatment soon and will be included in the analysis. Conclusions: Combinatorial MEK and autophagy inhibition was well tolerated in heavily treated metastatic pancreatic cancer patients. Trametinib/HCQ demonstrates some clinical benefit for this group. We demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing real-world data in precision oncology. Clinical trial information: NCT03793088 .
