21 Background: Recent evidence from randomized trials suggests that FOLFOXIRI (5FU, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan) ± bevacizumab is associated with higher response rates with a potential for conversion of unresectable to resectable disease in mCRC. Yet limited evidence is available about efficacy and safety of this regimen in RWP with mCRC. The current study aims to evaluate conversion rate and safety of FOLFOXIRI ± bevacizumab in RWP with unresectable mCRC. Methods: Each year about 175 patients are diagnosed with mCRC in Saskatchewan. Patients who were diagnosed with unresectable mCRC between Jan 2015 to Dec 2018 and received FOLFOXIRI ±bevacizumab were assessed. Kaplan Meier survival methods and log rank test were performed. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess factors correlate with conversion. Results: 28 eligible patients with median age of 51 yrs (IQR:39-60) and M:F of 11:16 were identified. 42% patients had a comorbid illness, and 43% had WHO performance status of 0. 39% had rectal cancer, 46% had extrahepatic disease and 46% had bilobar liver metastases. 58% patients had a positive response to therapy, 60% had grade 3/4 toxicity & 32% required hospital admission. No treatment-related mortality was noted. 54% patients underwent metastasectomy (liver 73%, peritoneum and or ovaries 20%, lung 6%). 68% had primary tumor resection, 29% received rectal radiation, 21% had ablation and 18% had second surgery for recurrence. At 4 years 50% patients are alive. Median progression free survival of patients who underwent surgery is 18 (95%CI:11.3-24.7) vs. 11 months (4-18.1) without surgery (P = 0.28). Median overall survival of patients with surgery is 33 (17.5-48.5) vs. 16 months (8.3-23.7) without surgery (P = 0.03). Positive response to treatment is correlated with conversion (odd ratio 21.7, p = 0.002). Conclusions: In the real world setting younger patients with good performance status received FOLFIRINOX ± bevacizumab. Despite high rates of toxicity, more than half of patients were able to undergo surgery. A positive response to treatment significantly correlates with metastasectomy.

177 Background: RT-induced abscopal effect seems increase the efficacy of immunotherapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of patients (pts) with NSCLC previously undergone to RT before receiving PD-1 inhibitors. Methods: We conducted an observational, retrospective analysis of 63 consecutive pts with advanced NSCLC who received RT followed by PD-1 inhibitors at five Italian institutions. Tumor response to treatment was defined according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Median overall survival (OS) and the 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated with the Kaplan -Meier method. Results: 63 pts (median age 66 years; male:60.3%) with advanced NSCLC (adenocarcinoma [adc]:71.4%; squamous cells [sqc]:28.6%) were treated with PD-1 inhibitors after RT. RT was delivered a median of 70 days before the start of immunotherapy.47 pts(74.5%)received extracranical RT and 16 pts (25.7%) performed cranial irradiation. Median OS was 11.7 months (mo) [95% CI, 4.7-18.7] (adc: 13.0 mo [95% CI,7.3-18.7], sqc 5.1 mo [95%CI,2.9-7.3]). Median progression free survival (PFS) was 5.1 mo [95% CI,2.5-7.7] (adc: 9.0 mo[ 95% CI,2.6-15.3]; sqc: 3.5 mo [95% CI,2.0-5.1]). A better performance status (PS) according to ECOG scale was associated with an improved OS (PS 0[21 pts]: 15.4 mo [95% CI,10.8-19.9]; PS1[33 pts]: 11.7 mo [95%CI,4.0-19.4]; PS2[9 pts]: 4.1 mo [95% CI,0.9-7.3]). Median OS in 46 pts who received ≤ 1 previous systemic therapy was 13.0 mo [95% CI, 9.4-16.6] and in 17 pts who received ≥2 previous treatments was 7.4 mo [95% CI, 3.1-11.7]. Median OS in 45 pts aged < 70 years was 11.7 mo [95% CI, 4.7-18.7] and in 18 elderly (≥ 70 years) was 6.5 mo [95% CI, 0.0-17.7]. 9(14.3%) partial response, 23(36.5%) stable disease and 25(39.7%) progressive disease have been observed. Conclusions: The synergic combination of RT and PD-1 inhibitors leads to an enhancement of systemic antitumor immune responses, triggering the abscopal effect, resulting in prolonged OS.

e17088 Background: Immuno-oncology (IO) treatment demonstrated to improve Overall Survival (OS) in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). The prognostic impact of previous citoreductive nephrectomy (CN) and radical nephrectomy with curative intent in patients (pts) treated with IO is not well defined. Methods: 229 eligible pts, with a least one radiological assessment of response according to the RECIST 1:1 criteria, were retrospectively collected from 16 Italian referral centers. Baseline characteristics, outcome data including progression-free survival (PFS) and OS were collected. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were performed to compare PFS and OS between groups. Results: 153(66.8%) pts received IO as second line, 61(26.6%) as third line and 15(6.6%) pts as further line. 54 pts (23.6%) were good risk, 144(62.9%) were intermediate and 31(13.5%) were poor risk according to IMDC score. 189(82.5%) pts underwent nephrectomy (of them 72(32.4%) pts had synchronous metastatic disease and underwent CN), while 40(17.4%) pts did not. Nephrectomy was performed before IO treatment. ECOG PS, at the beginning of IO, was 0 for 167 pts (72.9%), the other 62 (27.1%) had ECOG PS 1 or 2. At a median follow up time of 17.5 months (mo), 13 (5.7%) pts are still in treatment while 216 (94.3%) experienced progression. 81 (35.3%) pts were treated after IO progression with mTOR and VEGFR inhibitors. 63 (27.5%) pts continued IO beyond progression. G3-G4 iAE were reported in 46 pts (20%). Median IO-PFS was 4.5 months in pts who did not undergo nephrectomy and 2.9 mo in pts who did (HR log rank 0.713, 95%CI 0.4788 to 1.063; p= 0.0582). Median IO-OS was 18.4 mo in pts who underwent nephrectomy and 10.3 mo in pts who did not (HR log rank 1.915, 95%CI 1.118 to 3.281; p= 0.0024). The difference in OS was irrespective of the IMDC criteria and the lines of treatment. Conclusions: In our real world experience, in mRCC pts treated with IO, previous nephrectomy was associated with a better outcome in terms of OS with all the limitations of a retrospective collection.

631 Background: Sunitinib remains an important treatment option for mRCC, but the effect of comorbidities/comedications on sunitinib treatment outcomes have not been fully explored. Methods: Data were collated from STAR-TOR, an ongoing real-world registry. Cutoff date for analysis was 19 June 2019. This subgroup analysis assessed the presence or absence of hypertension (HTN), and the use or non-use of statins and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), determined at the time of entry to the registry. Treatment endpoints were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR). OS and PFS were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier methods. Differences within subgroups were tested using Log-rank test for OS and PFS, and Fisher’s exact test for ORR. Results: 557 sunitinib-treated pts were analyzed; 366 had HTN and 191 did not, 130 used statins and 427 did not, and 165 used PPIs and 392 did not. Median (m) OS (95% confidence intervals) was similar in pts with and without HTN (25.4 [21.1, 31.5] vs 21.5 [15.2, 28.0] months; p = 0.215). mPFS (8.0 [6.5, 9.9] vs 6.3 [5.4, 8.2] months; p = 0.140) and ORR (31.2% vs 30.9%; p = 1.000) were also similar in pts with and without HTN. mOS was similar in pts who used statins vs those who did not (27.8 [20.2, 35.4] vs 24.0 [19.4, 27.3] months; p = 0.884), while mPFS was significantly longer in pts who used statins (9.4 [6.5, 13.6] vs 6.9 [5.7, 8.2] months; p = 0.044). ORR was 37.8% vs 29.0% in pts who did and did not use statins (p = 0.072). mOS was significantly shorter in pts who used PPIs vs those who did not (20.2 [14.9, 28.3] vs 25.7 [22.7, 33.0] months; p = 0.021). mPFS (5.8 [4.6, 8.2] vs 8.0 [6.5, 9.8] months; p = 0.091) and ORR (26.6% vs 33.0%; p = 0.177) were similar in pts who did and did not use PPIs. Conclusions: In sunitinib-treated pts with mRCC in a real-world registry, mPFS was significantly longer and there was a trend toward better ORR in pts who used statins, whereas mOS was significantly shorter and there was a trend toward shorter mPFS in pts who used PPIs. Common comedications may affect sunitinib treatment outcomes in pts with mRCC.

Background: Metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by a poor survival rate, which can be improved by systemic treatment. Consensus on the most optimal first- and second-line palliative systemic treatment is lacking. The aim of this study was to describe the use of first- and second-line systemic treatment, overall survival (OS), and time to failure (TTF) of first- and second-line treatment in metastatic PDAC in a real-world setting. Patients and Methods: Patients with synchronous metastatic PDAC diagnosed between 2015 and 2018 who received systemic treatment were selected from the nationwide Netherlands Cancer Registry. OS and TTF were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves with log-rank test and multivariable Cox proportional hazard analyses. Results: The majority of 1,586 included patients received FOLFIRINOX (65%), followed by gemcitabine (18%), and gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel (13%) in the first line. Median OS for first-line FOLFIRINOX, gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel, and gemcitabine monotherapy was 6.6, 4.7, and 2.9 months, respectively. Compared to FOLFIRINOX, gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel showed significantly inferior OS after adjustment for confounders (hazard ratio [HR], 1.20; 95% CI, 1.02–1.41), and gemcitabine monotherapy was independently associated with a shorter OS and TTF (HR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.71–2.30 and HR, 2.31; 95% CI, 1.88–2.83, respectively). Of the 121 patients who received second-line systemic treatment, 33% received gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel, followed by gemcitabine (31%) and FOLFIRINOX (10%). Conclusions: Based on population-based data in patients with metastatic PDAC, treatment predominantly consists of FOLFIRINOX in the first line and gemcitabine with or without nab-paclitaxel in the second line. FOLFIRINOX in the first line shows superior OS compared with gemcitabine with or without nab-paclitaxel.

e17023 Background: Oxidative stress plays a significant role in cancer development and progression. A marker of lipid peroxidation TBARS is upregulated in various diseases. The objective of this prospective study was to explore predictive and prognostic values of TBARS in MUC patients (pts.) before the first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Methods: Seventy-two consecutive pts. (57 men) with MUC (58 bladder, 14 upper GU tract) were enrolled into this study. Performance status ECOG ≥ 2 had 11 pts., visceral metastases were present in 34 pts. Most common type of treatment regimen was gemcitabine and cisplatin (65 pts.), gemcitabine and carboplatin received 7 pts. Based upon TBARS mean of 6,06 μmol/L, pts. were dichotomized into low and high groups. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and their 95% CI were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared with log-rank test. Results: At median follow-up of 9.6 months, 65 pts. experienced progression and 64 pts. died. Pts. with low TBARS had significantly better survival opposed to pts. with high TBARS (HR 0.44, 95% CI 0.27-0.74; P = 0,0009 for OS and HR 0.51; 95% CI 0.31-0.84; P = 0,006 for PFS, respectively). Pts. with ECOG ≤ 1 had significantly better both, OS and PFS in comparison to pts. with ECOG > 2. Conclusions: In this study, high plasma TBARS levels in patients with MUC before chemotherapy initiation were associated with poor survival. Therefore, this biomarker could be used for identification of patients with worse prognosis and could lead to better patient stratification and treatment decision making. The study was supported by VEGA 1/0614/12. Key Words: Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma. Platinum-Based Chemotherapy. Lipid Peroxidation. TBARS. Survival.

46 Background: A real-world study (n= 436, PMID: 29707790) suggest that D1 mCSPC has worse outcomes than D0 mCSPC. The objective of our study is to validate these findings in a real-world setting, and compare clinical and tumor genomic characteristics associated with D1 vs. D0 mCSPC. Methods: In this retrospective study, eligible patients had mCSPC, received androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) +/- intensification with docetaxel or novel hormonal therapy. D1 mCSPC was diagnosed as those with distant metastasis at the first diagnosis of prostate cancer. Progression-free survival (PFS) was per PCWG2 criteria or clinical progression, and overall survival (OS) was date of death or last follow up from start of ADT for mCSPC. Baseline clinical characteristics were compared using the t test. Survival was compared using the log-rank test with Kaplan-Meier methods. Results: Of 396 eligible patients, 242 had D1 mCSPC. Men with D1 mCSPC were younger, had significantly higher median PSA, Gleason score, and alkaline phosphatase at diagnosis of mCSPC, and had significantly shorter PFS and OS with standard ADT, as well as intensified ADT, compared to men with D0 mCSPC (Table). Conclusions: These findings validate data from a previous real-world study that D1 CSPC is associated with inferior prognosis and outcomes on systemic therapy compared to D0 mCSPC. These data may aid with counseling and treatment selection, as well as patient stratification in future trials in mCSPC. Comparison of comprehensive genomic profiling data, obtained through CLIA certified labs, will be presented at the meeting.[Table: see text]

Abstract Objective The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of gemcitabine maintenance on progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic gallbladder cancer (GBC). Materials and Methods Sixty patients with unresectable or metastatic GBC having ongoing response to treatment with initial six cycles of gemcitabine and a platinum-based doublet chemotherapy were prospectively randomized on day 21 of the 6th cycle in 1:1 fashion to receive either maintenance gemcitabine 1 g/m2 intravenously on day 1 and day 8 of three weekly cycle or observation. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan–Meier method and comparisons by the log-rank test. A p-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results Of 60 patients, a total of 56 were available for final analysis. The median PFS was 4.7 months (3.1–6.3) in gemcitabine arm and 2.6 months (2.4–2.8) in observation arm, hazard ratio (HR) 0.196 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.1–0.39), p < 0.001. Median overall survival in gemcitabine arm was 12.4 months (9.15–15.6) as opposed to 9.9 months (8.29–11.5) in observation arm, HR 0.76 (95% CI: 0.43–1.35), p = 0.354. The grade 3 or 4 side effects in maintenance arm were transaminitis (17.9%), thrombocytopenia (17.8%), neutropenia (14.2%), and febrile neutropenia (7.1%). Conclusions Maintenance gemcitabine therapy in unresectable/metastatic GBC patients responding to first-line gemcitabine and platinum treatment contributes to increase PFS with minimal and manageable side effects.

51 Background: The landscape of M0 CRPC has changed with the recent demonstration of metastasis-free survival (MFS) and overall survival (OS) improvements with the use of ARPIs in clinical trial settings. However, the extrapolation of this data to clinical practice is limited by strict exclusion criteria in these trials, including prior or concurrent malignancy, cardiovascular disease, or hypertension. The purpose of this study was to assess real-world outcomes in patients with M0 CRPC treated with ARPIs compared to historical controls. Methods: We designed a retrospective cohort study with the inclusion of patients in Alberta, Canada diagnosed with M0 CRPC between 2001-2020. Via chart review, we identified baseline characteristics, potential confounders, treatment details, and clinical outcomes. The primary outcome of interest was MFS. Secondary outcomes included: second progression-free survival (PFS2) and OS. Median survival times were measured using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test was used for comparison of outcomes based on ARPI exposure. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) accounting for impact of PSA doubling time (PSADT), use of osteoclast inhibiting agents, and presence of pelvic lymphadenopathy. Results: We identified 211 patients across multiple centres in Alberta with M0 CRPC, with 54 having received apalutamide (40/54), enzalutamide (7/54), or darolutamide (7/54). Median age at M0 CRPC diagnosis was 74 years; median PSADT was 4.4 months; and 19% of patients (40/211) had pelvic lymphadenopathy at diagnosis. Median MFS in patients treated with ARPIs was 47.5 months compared to 20.6 months in those not treated with ARPIs (HR, 0.23; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.11-0.49; p < 0.001). Median PFS2 in ARPI treated patients was 66.3 months compared with 35.6 months (HR, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.18-0.87; p = 0.022). Median OS for patients treated with ARPI was not reached. Conclusions: Given the older age of men with advanced prostate cancer, real-world outcomes that include patients with comorbidities are important adjuncts to the interpretation of clinical trials exploring the benefit of novel therapeutics. Here, we demonstrate that in a real-world, unselected population of men with M0 CRPC, apalutamide, enzalutamide, and darolutamide seem to confer similar MFS and PFS2 benefits to those demonstrated in the SPARTAN, PROSPER, and ARAMIS studies. Real-world OS data remain immature and will be an important addition to these findings.

359 Background: Statins are HMG-CoA inhibitors that regulate several mechanisms involved in tumor growth, including mitochondrial metabolism, activation of oncogenic signaling pathways, and immune modulation. Population-based studies showed that statin intake may be negatively associated with RCC onset. The impact of statins on response to immunotherapy in mRCC is unknown. Herein we study the association between statin administration and outcomes in patients with mRCC treated with nivolumab in the NIVOREN-GETUG AFU 26 phase II trial (NCT03013335). Methods: Patients with mRCC who failed previous VEGFR inhibitors were included. We assessed nivolumab activity, including objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) according to statin intake at baseline. Toxicity was assessed using CTCAE v4.0. Results: Overall,133 patients were treated with statins at baseline among 702 evaluable for concomitant therapies (19%). Among them, median age was 68 (49-90), 84% were male, 85% had a performance status ≥ 80%, 42% were overweight and 20% obese. Patients treated with statins had mostly good (23%) or intermediate (58%) IMDC risk, 64% had grade 3 or 4 tumors, and nivolumab was given in a third line setting or more in 55%. Median follow-up was 23.9 months (95%CI 23.0-24.5) in the overall cohort. The ORR was 26% in patients treated with statins, PFS 5.0 months (CI95% 3.0 – 5.5), OS 27.9 months (CI95% 19.4-30.3). Outcomes of patients with or without statins did not differ significantly. Similar rates of grade 3-5 TRAE were reported in patients with (20%) or without (18%) statin intake. Conclusions: This is the first study to evaluate statin intake and outcomes with nivolumab in patients with mRCC. Despite numerically higher ORR, statins were not significantly associated with improved outcomes. These data require other analyzes considering other factors such as BMI and other comorbidities. Further studies may help better understand the interplay between immunity and metabolic reprogramming in RCC.

71 Background: For patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treatment with Trifluridine/Tipiracil, also known as TAS-102, improves overall survival. In Australia, TAS-102 was initially made available locally through patients self-funding, later via an industry sponsored Medicine Access Program (MAP) and then via the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of TAS-102 in real world Australian population. Methods: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the Treatment of Recurrent and Advanced Colorectal Cancer (TRACC) registry was undertaken. The characteristics and outcomes of patients receiving TAS-102 were assessed and compared to all TRACC patients and those enrolled in the registration study (RECOURSE). Results: Across 13 sites, 107 patients were treated with TAS-102 (non-PBS n = 27, PBS n = 80), The median number of patients per site was 7 (range: 1-17). The median age was 60 years (range: 31-83), compared to 67 for all TRACC patients and 63 for RECOURSE. Comparing registry TAS-102 and RECOURSE patients, 75% vs 100% were ECOG performance status 0-1, 74% vs 79% had initiated treatment more than 18 months from diagnosis of metastatic disease and 39% vs 49% were RAS wild type. Median time on treatment was 10.4 weeks (range: 1.7-32). Median clinician assessed progression-free survival was 3.3 compared to RECIST defined PFS of 2 months in RECOURSE study, while median overall survival was the same at 7.1 months. Two patients (2.3%) had febrile neutropenia and there were no treatment-related deaths in the real-world series, where TAS102 dose at treatment initiation was at clinician discretion. In the RECOURSE study there was a 4% febrile neutropenia rate and one treatment-related death. Conclusions: TRACC registry patients treated with TAS102 were younger than both TRACC patients overall and those from the RECOURSE trial. Less strict application of RECIST criteria and less frequent imaging may have contributed to an apparently longer PFS. However overall survival outcomes achieved with TAS102 in real world patients were comparable to findings from this pivotal trial with an acceptable rate of major adverse events.
