e22062 Background: This open-label, phase II study investigated the clinical activity and safety profile of axitinib, a potent and selective second-generation inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR) in patients with stage III melanoma. Methods: Eligible patients had histology proven stage III melanoma, at least 1 target lesion as defined by RECIST, and no prior systemic therapy. Primary end point was objective response rate (ORR) according to RECIST v1.1; response was also considered if there was a ≥ 25% reduction in the involved nodal basin specific uptake value (SUV) on PET/CT. Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR), progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Axitinib 5mg was given orally twice each day; treatment continued until tumor progression, unmanageable toxicity, or if the patient withdrew consent. After two months of therapy, patients then underwent definitive surgical resection of their involved nodal basins; one month after surgery patients would restart axitinib. In the 1st stage, 18 patients were to be enrolled; if there was ≥ 1 response, then the study would proceed to the 2nd stage with enrollment of additional 14 patients. At the end of the study, if there were at least 4 confirmed responses, then axitinib would be recommended for further studies in this patient population. Results: Fifteen patients were screened, and eleven patients were initiated on protocol therapy. Median age was 63 years (range 37-88). Three patients (27%) had BRAF mutations. Objective response rate was 45.5% [95% confidence interval (CI), 16.7-76.6], comprised of one complete and four partial responses, with two patients ongoing. Median duration of response was 8 months (95% CI, 3.5-13.3). Stable disease was observed in one patient, with an overall disease control rate of 54.5% (95% CI, 23.3-83.2]. Median progression free survival was 4 months [95% CI, 2.8-8.5]. Median overall survival was 59 months [95% CI, 29.6-67.5]. The most frequently reported ( > 15%) nonhematologic, treatment-related adverse effects were hypertension, fatigue, and diarrhea. Conclusions: Axitinib showed single-agent activity among patients with stage III melanoma and had favorable effect as a neoadjuvant therapy. Axitinib was well tolerated and safety profiles were consistent with previous reports from previous studies in patients with melanoma. Axitinib alone or combined with other therapies merits further research. Clinical trial information: NCT01321437.

PURPOSE Approximately 10% of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation–positive non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbor uncommon mutations. Here, we report the efficacy and safety of osimertinib in patients with NSCLC harboring uncommon EGFR mutations. PATIENT AND METHODS This was a multicenter, single-arm, open-label, phase II study in Korea. Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic or recurrent NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations other than the exon 19 deletion, L858R and T790M mutations, and exon 20 insertion were eligible for the study. The primary end point of objective response rate was assessed every 6 weeks by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Secondary end points were progression-free survival, overall survival, duration of response, and safety. RESULTS Between March 2016 and October 2017, 37 patients were enrolled. All were evaluable except one patient who withdrew consent after starting treatment. Median age was 60 years, and 22 (61%) were male. Among patients, 61% received osimertinib as first-line therapy. The mutations identified were G719X (n = 19; 53%), followed by L861Q (n = 9; 25%), S768I (n = 8; 22%), and others (n = 4; 11%). Objective response rate was 50% (18 of 36 patients; 95% CI, 33% to 67%). Median progression-free survival was 8.2 months (95% CI, 5.9 to 10.5 months), and median overall survival was not reached. Median duration of response was 11.2 months (95% CI, 7.7 to 14.7 months). Adverse events of any grade were rash (n = 11; 31%), pruritus (n = 9; 25%), decreased appetite (n = 9; 25%), diarrhea (n = 8; 22%), and dyspnea (n = 8; 22%), but all adverse events were manageable. CONCLUSION Osimertinib demonstrated favorable activity with manageable toxicity in patients with NSCLC harboring uncommon EGFR mutations.

7511 Background: In NCIC CTG study BR24, CED 30 mg/d + CP increased objective response rate (RR) and progression-free survival (PFS), but there were concerns regarding toxicity in some pts. BR29 tested a lower dose of CED 20 mg/d limiting accrual to pts without significant weight loss/hypoalbuminemia. Methods: Consenting, eligible adult pts with advanced incurable NSCLC of any histology were randomized to receive CED 20 mg/d or PLA with up to 6 cycles of C (AUC = 6) P (200 mg/m2); non-progressing pts continued CED/PLA after CP until progression, unacceptable toxicity or pt request. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). An interim analysis (IA) for PFS was planned after 170 events in the first 260 pts; the study would continue if the hazard ratio (HR) for PFS was < 0.7. Accrual continued until the required number of events was reached then held pending IA. Results: The trial was halted when the IA (n=260) revealed a HR for PFS of 0.89 (95% CI 0.66-1.20). A final analysis including all 306 randomized pts (median age 62, male 55%, PS 0 26%, PS 1 74%, adenocarcinoma 64%, squamous 13%, other histology 23%. RR was significantly higher with CED (52% vs 34 %, p = 0.001). For CED/PLA, respectively, median OS and PFS were 12.2/12.1 [HR: 0.95 (0.69-1.30, p=0.74)] and 5.5/5.5 months [HR: 0.91 (0.71-1.18, p=0.5)]. Grade >3 hypertension (15% vs 3%, p=0.0002), anorexia (7% vs 1%, p=0.02) and diarrhea (16% vs 1%, p<0.0001) were all significantly increased with CED; there were 2 deaths possibly-related to CED [1 each hemorrhage, leukoencephalopathy (prior radiation)]. Conclusions: Adding a lower dose of CED to CP increased RR and toxicity, but not PFS or OS.

TPS8112 Background: MM remains incurable and patients (pts) typically relapse or become refractory to current treatments. Novel regimens are needed to improve pt outcomes. Elo is a humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody targeting the cell surface glycoprotein CS1, which is highly expressed on >95% of MM cells. Len/Dex is approved for treatment of relapsed MM and an objective response rate (ORR) of ~60% was reported in phase III trials of this combination in RR MM. In a phase II study (N=73) of Elo (10 or 20 mg/kg) in combination with Len/Dex in pts with RR MM, the 10 mg/kg group (n=36) demonstrated an ORR of 92% and median progression-free survival (PFS) that was not reached after a median follow-up of 14.1 months. Encouraging activity was seen in patients with high-risk cytogenetics and/or stage 2-3 disease. Based on these data, a randomized, open-label phase III trial has been initiated to determine if the addition of Elo to Len/Dex will improve PFS in patients with RR MM compared with Len/Dex alone. Methods: Pts (N=640) with RR MM and 1-3 prior therapies are eligible, including pts with mild or moderate renal impairment. Pts are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive 28-day cycles of Len 25 mg PO (days 1-21) and Dex 40 mg PO (days 1, 8, 15 and 22) with or without Elo. Elo dose and schedule is 10 mg/kg IV on days 1, 8, 15, 22 in the first 2 cycles and on days 1 and 15 in subsequent cycles. Dex 8 mg IV + 28 mg PO is used during the weeks with Elo. Treatment will continue until disease progression, death, or withdrawal of consent. Patients will be followed for tumor response every 4 weeks until progressive disease and then survival every 12 weeks. The primary endpoint is PFS (90% power for a hazard ratio [experimental to control arm] of 0.74) and the secondary endpoints are ORR and overall survival. Exploratory endpoints are safety, time to response, duration of response, time to subsequent therapy, health-related quality of life, and pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of Elo. Potential biomarkers will also be assessed. As of January 10th, 2012, 107 pts were enrolled and 68 pts were treated. NCT01239797.

TPS597 Background: Deregulation of the FGFR signaling pathway is implicated in various cancers. In iCCA, FGFR genetic aberrations include FGFR2 fusions and, less commonly, FGFR2 M/A. iCCA prognosis is poor, and chemotherapeutic and targeted treatment options are limited. While FGFR2 fusions are acknowledged oncogenic drivers, the oncogenic potential of FGFR2 M/A is less well defined. Derazantinib (DZB) is an investigational, oral small-molecule kinase inhibitor with activity against FGFR1, 2 and 3, which demonstrated antitumor activity in patients with unresectable iCCA with FGFR2 fusions. Based on preliminary efficacy data demonstrating durable responses of > 6 months and a clinically meaningful progression-free survival in a subset of iCCA patients harboring FGFR2 M/A (NCT01752920), the multicenter, multicohort open-label phase 2 study FIDES-01 is evaluating the effect of DZB in separate cohorts of iCCA patients with FGFR2 fusions or FGFR2 M/A. Methods: The new cohort evaluates 300 mg once daily dosing of DZB in patients with unresectable iCCA with FGFR2 M/A per liquid or tissue biopsy-based next generation sequencing and at least one previous systemic therapy. Treatment will continue until progressive disease, intolerance, withdrawal of informed consent, or death. Using a Simon’s two-stage design, the primary endpoint to assess the antitumor activity of DZB is the proportion of patients with PFS at 3 months (PFS3; per RECIST 1.1 central review). Secondary objectives are evaluation of median PFS, objective response rate, duration of response, safety profile, quality of life (incl., QLQ-C30, QLQ-BIL21, EQ-5D), and symptom response from baseline. Current status: The study was initiated in July 2019 with planned enrollment of 43 patients with confirmed FGFR2 M/A. Clinical trial information: NCT03230318.

5001 Background: The oral PARP inhibitor olaparib has shown antitumor activity in pts with SOC. Our multicenter study compared the efficacy of (Arm A) olaparib capsules plus P/C for 6 cycles then maintenance olaparib monotherapy vs (Arm B) P/C alone for 6 cycles and no further therapy in pts with PSR SOC (NCT01081951). Methods: Pts received 6 x 21-day(d) cycles of olaparib (200 mg bid, d1–10/21) + P (175 mg/m2 iv, d1) + C (AUC4 iv, d1), then olaparib monotherapy as maintenance (400 mg bid, continuous) (Arm A), or 6 x 21d cycles of P (175 mg/m2 iv, d1) + C (AUC6 iv, d1) then no further therapy (Arm B), until progression. Randomization (1:1) was stratified by number of platinum treatments and platinum-free interval. Primary endpoint: progression-free survival (PFS) by central review (RECIST 1.1). Secondary endpoints: overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), safety. Archival tissue was collected where available for analysis of biomarker correlation. Results: Of 162 pts randomized (n=81 per arm), 156 received treatment (Arm A, n=81; Arm B, n=75) and 121 began the maintenance/no further therapy phase (Arm A, n=66; Arm B, n=55). Olaparib + P/C (AUC4) followed by maintenance olaparib showed a significant improvement in PFS vs P/C (AUC6) alone (HR = 0.51, 95% CI 0.34, 0.77; P=0.0012; median = 12.2 vs 9.6 months). OS data are immature (total events: 14%). ORR was similar for Arm A and Arm B (64 vs 58%). Most common AEs during the combination phase were alopecia (74 vs 59%), nausea (69 vs 57%) and fatigue (64 vs 57%) for Arm A vs Arm B, respectively. Pts with grade ≥3 AEs (65 vs 57%), serious AEs (SAEs: 15 vs 21%) and AEs leading to treatment discontinuation (19 vs 16%) were similar for Arm A vs Arm B. Most common AEs during maintenance/no further therapy were nausea (50 vs 6%) and vomiting (29 vs 7%). 29 vs 16% of pts had grade ≥3 AEs, 9 vs 7% had SAEs and 8% vs N/A discontinued due to AEs in the olaparib vs no treatment arms, respectively. There were no fatal AEs. Conclusions: In pts with PSR SOC, olaparib plus P/C (AUC4) followed by olaparib 400 mg bid monotherapy maintenance treatment resulted in a significant improvement in PFS vs P/C (AUC6) alone.

TPS2670 Background: The gut microbiome has emerged as a new therapeutic target to augment the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade. MRx0518 is a novel, gut microbiome-derived, oral live biotherapeutic, designed to induce a broad immunostimulatory response to re-engage PD-1 inhibitor activity. Preclinical studies showed that MRx0518 reduced tumour growth in models of kidney, lung and breast cancer. MRx0518 increased CD4 and CD8 T cell and NK cell infiltration into the tumour and decreased Tregs. Upregulation of tumour TLR5 was observed and linked to the bacterial flagellin moiety, which was shown to strongly induce NFκB, cytokine responses and IFNγ+ CD4 and CD8 T cells. The study, one of the first oncology trials conducted with live biotherapeutics, is a single center, open label, safety and preliminary efficacy study of MRx0518 in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with solid tumors who have progressed on PD-1 inhibitors. Methods: Trial consists of 2 parts. In Part A, 12 patients receive pembrolizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks plus 1 capsule (bid) of MRx0518 with a DLT period of 1 cycle (21 days). In Part B, up to 30 patients per cohort (NSCLC, Urothelial, Renal and Melanoma) will receive pembrolizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks plus 1 capsule (bid) of MRx0518 for up to 35 cycles or until disease progression per RECIST 1.1. The primary end points are safety and tolerability of MRx0518 in combination with pembrolizumab (Parts A and B) and clinical benefit of MRx0518 in combination with pembrolizumab (Part B). Secondary end points are objective response rate, duration of response, disease control rate, and progression-free survival. Exploratory end points include biomarkers of treatment effect, effect on microbiota and overall survival. Recruitment is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03637803.

TPS482 Background: Two combination chemotherapy regimens have emerged as standard of care options for first-line treatment of mPAC: 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (LV) + irinotecan + oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX), and nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine. Nal-IRI (MM-398) is a nanoliposomal formulation of irinotecan. In a randomized phase 3 study (NAPOLI-1), of patients with mPAC who had been previously treated with gemcitabine-based therapy, nal-IRI + 5-FU/LV demonstrated its safety and significant clinical activity, increasing overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) relative to 5-FU/LV. The goal of this current study is to determine the preliminary safety and efficacy of nal-IRI+ + 5-FU/LV with or without oxaliplatin as compared to nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine in previously untreated patients with mPAC. Methods: This open-label, phase 2 comparative study will be conducted in two parts. Part 1 is a safety run-in of a nal-IRI+5-FU/LV + oxaliplatin regimen. The safety run-in will enroll small cohorts of patients following a traditional 3 + 3 dose escalation design to confirm the target dose of oxaliplatin (n = ~6-18). The primary objective of Part 1 is the safety and tolerability of nal-IRI + 5FU/LV + oxaliplatin. Part 2 is a randomized, efficacy study of a nal-IRI + 5-FU/LV + oxaliplatin regimen (Arm 1), the nal-IRI + 5-FU/LV combination that previously demonstrated efficacy in the NAPOLI-1 trial (Arm 2), versus a nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine control arm (Arm 3) (n = ~156-168). The primary objective of Part 2 is to assess the efficacy of nal-IRI-containing regimens in first-line mPAC patients compared to nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine using the progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 24 weeks as the primary endpoint. Secondary of part 1 is a PK study and Part 2 secondary endpoints will include OS, PFS, objective response rate (per RECIST, v1.1), decrease in CA19-9 levels and quality of life assessments. Clinical trial information: NCT02551991.

6020 Background: In CheckMate 141, nivo resulted in significantly prolonged overall survival (OS), favorable safety, and stable quality of life vs IC in patients (pts) with platinum-refractory (PR) R/M SCCHN. Cetuximab, a formal trial stratification factor, permits exploratory subgroup assessment. Outcomes by prior cetuximab use are described. Methods: CheckMate 141 was a randomized, open-label, phase 3 trial (NCT02105636) in which pts (N = 361) with PR R/M SCCHN were randomized 2:1 and stratified by prior cetuximab use to nivo 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks or IC of methotrexate, docetaxel, or cetuximab. The primary endpoint was OS; additional endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety. A multivariate analysis will explore influence of additional factors. Results: Nivo improved OS vs IC regardless of prior cetuximab, and improvement was greater in pts without prior cetuximab (Table). Median OS was longer for nivo vs IC in pts with PD-L1 expression ≥ 1% regardless of prior cetuximab, and in pts with PD-L1 expression < 1% without prior cetuximab. Among pts with PD-L1 expression ≥ 1%, ORR was higher with nivo vs IC with/without prior cetuximab. PFS was similar regardless of prior cetuximab. Grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse event rates for nivo vs IC were 11.7% vs 40.9% with prior cetuximab and 15.4% vs 26.7% without prior cetuximab. Conclusions: OS and ORR improved with nivo vs IC regardless of prior cetuximab use, and the magnitude of benefit was greater in pts without prior cetuximab exposure. These results support the use of nivo for R/M SCCHN regardless of prior cetuximab use. Clinical trial information: NCT02105636. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background Irinotecan-based doublet chemotherapy strategy was standard second-line backbone treatment for patients with oxaliplatin‑refractory metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC). The aim of this study was to evaluate tolerability and efficacy of raltitrexed combined with irinotecan biweekly administered as the second-line therapy for mCRC patients.Methods The study was a single-center, non-randomized, open-label phase II trial. Patients with mCRC after failure with first-line treatment of oxaliplatin and fluoropyrimidine or its derivatives were enrolled. Irinotecan (180 mg/m2) and raltitrexed (2.5 mg/m2) were given intravenously on day 1. Cycles were repeated every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival, and the secondary endpoints included overall response rate, disease control rate, overall survival and treatment related adverse events. Results Between December 2012 and October 2016, 35 patients were enrolled. 33 and 35 patients were assessed for response and safety, respectively. The overall response rate (ORR) was 8.6 %, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 71.4%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.5 months (95% CI 3.8–5.2). The median overall survival was 12.0 months (95% CI 8.5–15.5). Four patients received conversion therapy to no evidence of disease (NED), and 2 patients were still alive with beyond 24 months survival. The most common grade 3/4 hematological adverse events were leukopenia (8.6%), neutropenia (5.7%). The most common grade 3/4 nonhematological adverse events were anorexia (14.3%), vomiting (14.3%), nausea (11.4%) and fatigue (8.6%). Two patients discontinued the protocol treatment because of treatment-related gastrointestinal adverse events. No one died from treatment-related events. The incidence and severity of toxicity was irrelevant to UGT1A1 status.Conclusions The combination of irinotecan with raltitrexed is an active, convenient and acceptable toxic regimen for second-line treatment for mCRC patients, which needs further study as a chemotherapy backbone to be combined with targeted agents in mCRC.Trial registration No. ChiCTR-ONC-12002767. The study was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry at 29 Octorber 2012, http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx.

We aimed to investigate the activity of apatinib in combination with camrelizumab in patients with inoperable high-grade osteosarcoma progressing after chemotherapy.MethodsThis open-label, phase 2 trial was conducted at Peking University People’s Hospital. We enrolled patients with advanced osteosarcoma progressed after chemotherapy. Patients received 500 mg apatinib orally once daily plus 200 mg camrelizumab by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) and clinical benefit rate at 6 months, which were based on RECIST V.1.1.Results43 patients were enrolled between January 25 and September 4, 2018. With median follow-up time of 48.3 (Q1, Q3, 30.6, 66.6) weeks, 13 (30.23%, 95% CI 17.2%, 40.1%) of 43 patients were progression free at 6 months and the 6-month PFS rate was 50.9% (95% CI 34.6%, 65.0%). Until final follow-up, the objective response rate was 20.9% (9/43) and two patients with durable disease control were observed. Patients with programmed cell death 1 ligand-1 (PD-L1) tumor proportion score ≥5% and pulmonary metastases tended to have a longer PFS in comparison to the others (p=0.004 and 0.017, respectively). Toxic effects led to dose reductions, or interruptions, or both in 24 (55.8%) of 43 patients and permanent discontinuation in 4 (9.3%) patients. There were no treatment-related deaths.ConclusionsAlthough the combination of apatinib and camrelizumab seemed to prolong PFS in comparison to single agent apatinib in treating advanced osteosarcoma, it did not reach the prespecified target of 6-month PFS of 60% or greater. Overexpression of PD-L1 and the presence of pulmonary metastases only were associated with longer PFS.Trial registration numberNCT03359018.
