e20527 Background: Single-agent belantamab mafodotin (GSK2857916) is a first-in-class immunoconjugate targeting B-cell maturation antigen that demonstrated deep and durable responses in heavily pretreated patients with RRMM in the pivotal DREAMM-2 study (NCT03525678; Lancet Oncol 2020). Methods: DREAMM-2 included patients with late-line RRMM treated with ≥3 prior lines of therapy, refractory to an immunomodulatory agent and a proteasome inhibitor, with prior exposure to an anti-CD38 antibody. Evidence from Phase II/III trials in a similar patient population was systematically identified following PRISMA guidelines. Based on the specificity of the DREAMM-2 population, selinexor plus low-dose dexamethasone (sel+dex) was identified as the only feasible comparator (STORM Part 2, NCT02336815). Matching-adjusted indirect comparisons (MAIC) were used to investigate the efficacy of single-agent belantamab mafodotin vs. sel+dex. Populations were matched for all clinically validated effect modifiers and prognostic factors with available data. MAIC were performed for overall response rate (ORR), time to response (TTR), duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS), as per NICE guidelines. Results: Single-agent belantamab mafodotin was more efficacious than sel+dex in terms of OS and DoR (Table). Results for ORR, TTR, and PFS showed no statistical difference between the two regimens. Conclusions: MAIC of single-agent belantamab mafodotin vs. sel+dex in this patient population with RRMM showed significantly improved efficacy on OS and DoR for belantamab mafodotin. Further validation is required owing to limited data availability. Additional safety analyses will further inform comparisons of the two. Clinical trial information: NCT03525678; NCT02336815.

5016 Background: Irinotecan and bevacizumab have single agent activity in platinum sensitive (PSen) and resistant (PRes) ovarian cancer patients (pts). We sought to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of irinotecan plus bevacizumab in these pts. The trial was designed to evaluate whether the progression free survival (PFS) at 6 months is at least 40% and with secondary objectives of estimating response rate (RR), duration of response (DoR), time to progression and toxicity. Methods: No limitation on number of prior regimens was placed, and prior use of study drugs was allowed. Irinotecan 250mg/m2 and bevacizumab 15mg/kg every 3 weeks were given. Due to treatment-related grade 3 toxicity (diarrhea and neutropenia) experienced by the first 5 pts on the study, the dose of irinotecan was amended to 175mg/m2. Results: 20 pts with recurrent ovarian cancer [PSen 5, PRes 15] of a planned 35 have been recruited thus far. Median age is 59 (45-78). Median number of prior regimens is 5 (3-12) with 9 pts demonstrating progressive disease (PD) on prior topotecan-containing regimens and 7 pts exhibiting PD on prior bevacizumab-containing regimens. 4 pts discontinued treatment before 2 cycles (2 for protocol defined toxicity, 2 by patient/physician choice). Partial response (PR) was observed in 2 PSen pts and 1 PRes pt, while stable disease (SD)was seen in 9 (2 PSen, 7 PRes) out of the 15 pts assessable for response at this time. 3 pts demonstrated PD after 2 cycles of treatment. 12 of 13 pts with PR or SD by RECIST also had response by CA125 criteria. Median DoR thus far (SD plus PR) is 18 weeks (4-37). 6 pts have ongoing response (4-18 weeks). Of 19 pts that received > 2 cycles, 3 had grade 3 diarrhea (2 before protocol amendment and 1 after). 2 pts had grade 3/4 neutropenia (1 before and 1 after protocol amendment). Median PFS is 9.6 months (mts). Median overall survival is 15.5 mts. PFS rate at 6 mts is 61% with 95% confidence interval: (40%, 92%). Conclusions: Results of the trial to date suggest the hypothesis that the PFS at 6 mts is less than 40% can be rejected. Activity of this regimen is encouraging given the heavily pretreated nature of the pts. Dose-limiting diarrhea and neutropenia required protocol amendment. We continue to accrue study subjects at the amended dosing.

The Moment

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a disease almost impossible to cure. In the context of heavily pretreated patients, the anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1) pembrolizumab is a valid therapeutic option. The alteration of the PD-1-PD ligand 1 (PD-L1) axis is often present in MF, and this aspect explains the feasibility of this therapy. We report the case of a 60-year-old woman diagnosed with MF in 2003, Olsen stage IA (T1M0NXBO). Since the moment of the diagnosis, she received 10 lines of therapy, with a short duration of response after each one of them. In April 2020, our patient started pembrolizumab 2 mg/kg every 3 weeks, and she achieved a partial response after the 4th cycle, consistent with the modified severity assessment tool (mSWAT) 1, which she is still maintaining after 10 cycles. No grade ≥3 adverse events were recorded. We conclude that pembrolizumab can induce extremely rapid responses in MF, with very low toxicity.

11534 Background: KIT or PDGFRA oncogenic activation drives GIST progression throughout the disease course. Accordingly, currently approved agents in metastatic GIST focus on the therapeutic suppression of these receptors. However, the clinical benefit after imatinib (IM) progression is still modest, suggesting the co-operation of KIT/PDGFRA-independent mechanisms in GIST cell survival. Selinexor is an oral, selective inhibitor of XPO1-mediated nuclear export, and preclinical studies evidenced antitumoral activity in GIST as single agent and in combination with IM in both IM-sensitive and IM-resistant models. Methods: The phase Ib portion studied IM 400 mg daily plus weekly selinexor in patients (pts) with IM-resistant, advanced GIST. Prior intolerance to IM was not allowed. A standard 3+3 dosing schema was utilized to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of this combination. Investigator-assessed response was evaluated every 8 weeks using RECIST 1.1. Results: At data cutoff of Sep 25, 2020, 12 pts were enrolled and received treatment with IM 400 mg and selinexor once weekly at dose levels (DL) 1 (60 mg), DL2 (80 mg) and DL3 (100 mg). Median age 57 (range 46-77), 42% female, median prior therapies 4 (range 2-7). Although only 1/6 pts developed a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) at DL3, the RP2D was defined at DL2 (IM 400 mg daily and selinexor 80 mg once weekly) based on activity data in the DL2 and the need for dose reductions in 5/6 pts at DL3 after the DLT window. All pts were evaluable for toxicity and response. One DLT occurred at DL3 (G3 nausea). Non-DLT G3/4 toxicities were anemia (1/12 pts), neutropenia (1/12 pts), vomiting (1/12 pts) and fatigue (2/12 pts). Common G1/2 toxicities were nausea (11/12 pts), vomiting (10/12 pts), neutropenia (5/12 pts) and anemia, fatigue, diarrhea, and periorbital edema (4/12 pts each). No unexpected toxicities were observed. Overall response rate in the 12 pts evaluable for response was 67% (95% CI 0.349-0.901), with 2 pts achieving PR (17%) and 6 pts SD (50%) as the best response. Clinical benefit rate (CBR = CR, PR, SD) ≥ 16 weeks was 42% (95% CI 0.157-0.723). Median progression free survival was 3.5 months (95% CI 1.7-7.3). Four pts remain on trial at data cutoff. Conclusions: IM and selinexor combination is well-tolerated and has clinical activity in heavily pretreated GIST pts. The trial is currently exploring selinexor as single agent in the IM-resistant GIST population. Clinical trial information: NCT04138381.

1077 Background: In pts with pretreated mTNBC, standard-of-care chemotherapy is associated with low objective response rates (ORRs) and short median progression-free survival (PFS). SG is an antibody-drug conjugate composed of an anti–Trop-2 antibody coupled to the cytotoxic SN-38 payload via a proprietary, hydrolyzable linker. SG received accelerated FDA approval for treatment of pts with mTNBC who have received ≥2 prior therapies for metastatic disease. The confirmatory phase 3 ASCENT study (NCT02574455) in pts with relapsed/refractory mTNBC demonstrated a significant survival benefit of SG over TPC (median PFS: 5.6 vs 1.7 mo, HR 0.41, P< 0.0001; median overall survival [OS]: 12.1 vs 6.7 mo, HR 0.48, P< 0.0001) with a tolerable safety profile. Here we summarize efficacy results for SG vs each TPC agent in ASCENT to examine how each TPC agent performed individually. Methods: Pts had mTNBC refractory to or progressing after ≥2 prior standard chemotherapy regimens. Pts were randomized 1:1 to receive SG (10 mg/kg intravenously on days 1 and 8, every 21 days) or single-agent TPC (eribulin, vinorelbine, capecitabine, or gemcitabine). Primary endpoint was PFS per RECIST 1.1 by independent review in brain metastases-negative (BMNeg) pts. Secondary endpoints were ORR per RECIST 1.1, duration of response, OS, and safety. Outcomes for each of the agents in the TPC arm were analyzed and compared with SG. Results: Of 529 pts enrolled, 468 were BMNeg. Among pts in the TPC cohort (n = 233), eribulin was the most commonly chosen chemotherapy (n = 126), followed by vinorelbine (n = 47), capecitabine (n = 31), and gemcitabine (n = 29). Treatment with eribulin, vinorelbine, capecitabine, and gemcitabine resulted in shorter median PFS vs SG (2.1, 1.6, 1.6, and 2.7 vs 5.6 mo, respectively); similar results were observed for median OS (6.9, 5.9, 5.2, and 8.4 vs 12.1 mo), ORR (5%, 4%, 6%, and 3% vs 35%), and clinical benefit rate (CBR; 8%, 6%, 10%, and 14% vs 45%). Key grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) with TPC overall vs SG included neutropenia (33% vs 51%), leukopenia (5% vs 10%), fatigue (5% vs 3%), and anemia (5% vs 8%). Key grade ≥3 TRAEs with eribulin vs SG included neutropenia (30% vs 51%), leukopenia (5% vs 10%), fatigue (5% vs 3%), anemia (2% vs 8%), and peripheral neuropathy (2% vs none), respectively. The safety profiles of vinorelbine, capecitabine, and gemcitabine combined were consistent with that of TPC overall and with eribulin. One treatment-related death was reported for the TPC arm (eribulin) and none with SG. Conclusions: The efficacy benefit observed with SG vs TPC in pts with mTNBC was retained when evaluating each TPC chemotherapy agent individually. These results confirm that SG should be considered as a new standard of care in pts with pretreated mTNBC. Clinical trial information: NCT02574455 .

5517 Background: In ARIEL4 (NCT02855944), rucaparib significantly improved the primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) vs chemotherapy (CT) in patients with advanced, relapsed ovarian carcinoma (OC) harboring a deleterious BRCA1/2 (BRCA) mutation (median PFS 7.4 [95% CI 7.3–9.1] vs 5.7 [5.5–7.3] months; hazard ratio (HR) 0.64 [95% CI 0.49–0.84]; P=0.001). This prespecified exploratory analysis investigated the effect of platinum sensitivity on the efficacy of rucaparib vs CT in ARIEL4. Methods: Patients were randomized 2:1 to oral rucaparib 600 mg twice daily or CT and stratified based on progression-free interval (≥1 to <6 months = platinum resistant; ≥6 to <12 months = partially platinum sensitive; ≥12 months = fully platinum sensitive). In the CT group, patients with platinum-resistant or partially platinum-sensitive disease received weekly paclitaxel 60–80 mg/m2; patients with fully platinum-sensitive disease received investigator’s choice of platinum-based CT (single-agent carboplatin or cisplatin, or platinum doublet). Patients could crossover from CT to rucaparib following radiologic disease progression. Efficacy endpoints were explored in patients with a confirmed BRCA mutation (patients with a reversion mutation were excluded), based on the randomization strata of platinum sensitivity. Results: The visit cutoff date was September 30, 2020. PFS and objective response rates (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 for rucaparib vs CT across subgroups are presented in the Table. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events in the rucaparib group were anemia/decreased hemoglobin (platinum-resistant patients: rucaparib 47% vs CT 40%; partially platinum-sensitive patients: 63% vs 27%; fully platinum-sensitive patients: 58% vs 20%) and nausea (52% vs 21%; 51% vs 23%; 60% vs 68%). In the intent-to-treat population, 74/116 (64%) patients in the CT group crossed over to receive rucaparib: 39/59 (66%) with platinum-resistant, 25/31 (81%) with partially platinum-sensitive, and 10/26 (38%) with fully platinum-sensitive disease. Conclusions: Results from this exploratory subgroup analysis suggest that rucaparib is a reasonable treatment option for heavily pretreated patients across all platinum sensitivity subgroups. Safety was consistent with prior rucaparib studies. Clinical trial information: NCT02855944. [Table: see text]

PURPOSE Melphalan flufenamide (melflufen) is a first-in-class peptide-drug conjugate that targets aminopeptidases and rapidly and selectively releases alkylating agents into tumor cells. The phase II HORIZON trial evaluated the efficacy of melflufen plus dexamethasone in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), a population with an important unmet medical need. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with RRMM refractory to pomalidomide and/or an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody received melflufen 40 mg intravenously on day 1 of each 28-day cycle plus once weekly oral dexamethasone at a dose of 40 mg (20 mg in patients older than 75 years). The primary end point was overall response rate (partial response or better) assessed by the investigator and confirmed by independent review. Secondary end points included duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety. The primary analysis is complete with long-term follow-up ongoing. RESULTS Of 157 patients (median age 65 years; median five prior lines of therapy) enrolled and treated, 119 patients (76%) had triple-class–refractory disease, 55 (35%) had extramedullary disease, and 92 (59%) were refractory to previous alkylator therapy. The overall response rate was 29% in the all-treated population, with 26% in the triple-class–refractory population. In the all-treated population, median duration of response was 5.5 months, median progression-free survival was 4.2 months, and median overall survival was 11.6 months at a median follow-up of 14 months. Grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 96% of patients, most commonly neutropenia (79%), thrombocytopenia (76%), and anemia (43%). Pneumonia (10%) was the most common grade 3/4 nonhematologic event. Thrombocytopenia and bleeding (both grade 3/4 but fully reversible) occurred concomitantly in four patients. GI events, reported in 97 patients (62%), were predominantly grade 1/2 (93%); none were grade 4. CONCLUSION Melflufen plus dexamethasone showed clinically meaningful efficacy and a manageable safety profile in patients with heavily pretreated RRMM, including those with triple-class–refractory and extramedullary disease.

Purpose The multicohort phase Ib KEYNOTE-028 (NCT02054806) study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab, an anti–programmed death 1 monoclonal antibody, in patients with programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) –positive advanced solid tumors. The results from the advanced endometrial cancer cohort are reported. Patients and Methods Female patients with locally advanced or metastatic PD-L1–positive endometrial cancer who had experienced progression after standard therapy were eligible. Patients received pembrolizumab 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks for up to 24 months or until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary efficacy end point was objective response rate by RECIST (version 1.1). Secondary end points included safety, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival, and overall survival. The data cutoff was February 17, 2016. Results Of 75 patients screened, 36 (48.0%) had PD-L1–positive tumors, and 24 (32.0%) were enrolled. Fifteen (62.5%) of these 24 patients had received at least two previous lines of therapy for advanced disease. Three patients (13.0%) achieved confirmed partial response (95% CI, 2.8% to 33.6%); the median DOR was not reached. Two patients were still receiving treatment and exhibiting continued response at time of data cutoff. Three additional patients (13.0%) achieved stable disease, with a median duration of 24.6 weeks. One patient who achieved partial response had a polymerase E mutation. Thirteen patients (54.2%) experienced treatment-related adverse events (AEs), with fatigue (20.8%), pruritus (16.7%), pyrexia (12.5%), and decreased appetite (12.5%) occurring in ≥ 10% of patients. Grade 3 treatment-related AEs were reported in four patients. No patient experienced a grade 4 AE, and no patient discontinued treatment because of an AE. Conclusion Pembrolizumab demonstrated a favorable safety profile and durable antitumor activity in a subgroup of patients with heavily pretreated advanced PD-L1–positive endometrial cancer.

Published experience with carfilzomib in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) and extramedullary disease (EMD) is still limited. The current study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of carfilzomib containing therapy regimens in EMD. We retrospectively analyzed 45 patients with extramedullary RRMM treated with carfilzomib from June 2013 to September 2019. The median age at the start of carfilzomib was 64 (range 40–80) years. Twenty (44%) and 25 (56%) patients had paraosseous manifestation and EMD without adjacency to bone, respectively. The serological overall response rate (ORR) was 59%. Extramedullary response was evaluable in 33 patients, nine (27%) of them achieved partial remission (PR) (ORR = 27%). In 15 (33%) patients, we observed no extramedullary response despite serological response. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were five (95% CI, 3.5–6.5) and ten (95% CI, 7.5–12.5) months, respectively. EMD without adjacency to bone was associated with a significantly inferior PFS (p = 0.004) and OS (p = 0.04) compared to paraosseous lesions. Carfilzomib based treatment strategies showed some efficacy in heavily pretreated patients with extramedullary RRMM but could not overcome the negative prognostic value of EMD. Due to the discrepancy between serological and extramedullary response, evaluation of extramedullary response using imaging is mandatory in these patients.

Abstract DREAMM-2 (NCT03525678) is an ongoing global, open-label, phase 2 study of single-agent belantamab mafodotin (belamaf; GSK2857916), a B-cell maturation antigen-targeting antibody-drug conjugate, in a frozen-liquid presentation in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Alongside the main study, following identical inclusion/exclusion criteria, a separate patient cohort was enrolled to receive belamaf in a lyophilised presentation (3.4 mg/kg, every 3 weeks) until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity. Primary outcome was independent review committee-assessed overall response rate (ORR). Twenty-five patients were enrolled; 24 received ≥1 dose of belamaf. As of 31 January 2020, ORR was 52% (95% CI: 31.3–72.2); 24% of patients achieved very good partial response. Median duration of response was 9.0 months (2.8–not reached [NR]); median progression-free survival was 5.7 months (2.2–9.7); median overall survival was not reached (8.7 months–NR). Most common grade 3/4 adverse events were keratopathy (microcyst-like corneal epithelial changes, a pathological finding seen on eye examination [75%]), thrombocytopenia (21%), anaemia (17%), hypercalcaemia and hypophosphatemia (both 13%), neutropenia and blurred vision (both 8%). Pharmacokinetics supported comparability of frozen-liquid and lyophilised presentations. Single-agent belamaf in a lyophilised presentation (intended for future use) showed a deep and durable clinical response and acceptable safety profile in patients with heavily pre-treated RRMM.
