49 Background: Elderly patients with mCRC are underrepresented in clinical trials. For this reason, the optimal treatment in this population is uncertain. The aim of this study is to compare efficacy and safety outcomes in patients with mCRC treated in our institution according to age (<65 vs ≥65 years). Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 482 patients with mCRC attended in the Hospital Gregorio Marañón (Spain) between January 2010 and 2018. Results: Patients characteristics table. First-line: chemotherapy (CT) 98.7% vs 97.3% respectively (p=0.324), biologic agents (BA) 81.2% vs 79.0% (p=0.585). Significantly more <65-year-old patients received FOLFOX (60.5% vs 44.4%) and more ≥65-year-old patients XELOX (9.2% vs 17.5%) or capecitabine (2.0% vs 7.5%). Second-line: CT 64.9% vs 63.5% (p=0.764), BA 60.4% vs 51.1% (p=0.055). Significantly more <65-year-old patients received FOLFIRI (67.0% vs 54.5%) and more ≥65-year-old patients irinotecan (2.0% vs 8.6%). Third and subsequent lines: Significantly more young patients received a third-line (CT: 41.6% vs 31.0%; BA: 24% vs 21.6%), fourth-line (CT: 22.1% vs 11.9%; BA:16.2% vs 6.4%) and fifth-line of treatment (CT: 11.7% vs 5.8%; BA: 4.5% vs 3.6%). More young patients underwent metastasis resection (74.0% vs 58.1%, p=0.001). There were no differences in rate of post-operative complications (p=0.840). There were no differences in overall survival (36.05m vs 28.06, p=0.142), progression-free-survival (first-line: 12.73m vs 11.78m, p=0.139; second-line: 8.78m vs 62.71m, p=0.254) or adverse event rate (73.4% vs 73.6%, p=0.967). Conclusions: Intensive treatment could be an effectiveness and safe option in selected elderly patients. [Table: see text]

e15586 Background: In Saudi Arabia, the incidence of colorectal cancer has been increased over the past few years. The optimal treatment beyond the second line is not fully understood. To the best of our knowledge, the efficacy and disease outcomes of triflurodine/tipiracil in Saudi patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC) has not been studied yet. Our study is a real-life practice evaluation of the efficacy of triflurodine/tipiracil in patients with refractory mCRC. Moreover, the prognosis and the prognostic significance of the different clinical variables have been analyzed. Methods: A retrospective, multi-centers ( 5 centers representative of Saudi Arabia )observational study in patients with mCRC who have received triflurodine/tipiracil beyond oxaliplatin & Irinotecan-based chemotherapy between December 2018-December 2020.We aimed to assess the response to triflurodine/tipiracil, to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS ), the overall survival (OS), and the associated factors of prognostic significance. Results:The data of 100 patients with refractory mCRC who has received triflurodine/tipiracil have been analyzed. The mean age was 55.2 +11.8 years. Forty-two patients were (42%) females and 58 (58%) were male patients. Sigmoid was the most common primary site of cancer in 35 (35%) patients, followed by rectum 29 (29%). Peritoneal metastasis was present in 17 (23.3%) patients ,liver in 51(56.6%) and lung in 39 (50.7%). Metastatic sites were ≥ 2 in 45 (45%) patients. Metastatic lesions were ≥ 5 in 65 (65%) patients. Xelox chemotherapy regimen was the most commonly used first-line chemotherapy which represents 43%, while Folfiri or Xeliri combination was the most used second line in 57 (60%). For the third line, Folfox or Xelox was used in 81 (83.5%) patients. The fourth line was given to 49 (67.1%). For first-line biological agents, Cetuximab was used most frequently 31 (46.3%).Evaluation of the response to treatment with triflurodine/tipiracil revealed one patient (1%) with a complete response,3 patients (3%) with partial response, 28 (28%) patients with stable disease, and 66 (66%) showed progressive disease. The estimated median progression-free survival was 5 months ( 3.839 - 6.161) and the median overall survival was 12 months (9.732-14.268). The log-rank analysis showed that the baseline neutrophils ≤ 75 % ( P-value= 0.0092) and low hemoglobin level (P-value= 0.0245) were strongly associated with a higher survival. By multivariate Cox regression analysis, the neutrophil count ≤ 75 % was the only independent predictor for survival. Conclusions: Trifluridine/tipiracil is effective in patients with refractory mCRC. The low neutrophil count might predict a better overall survival.

Abstract Background FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab is used as a first-line therapy for patients with unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer. However, there are no clear recommendations for second-line therapy after FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab combination. Here, we describe our planning for the EFFORT study to investigate whether FOLFIRI plus aflibercept has efficacy following FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab for mCRC. Methods EFFORT is an open-label, multicenter, single arm phase II study to evaluate whether a FOLFIRI plus aflibercept has efficacy following FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab for mCRC. Patients with unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer who received FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab as a first-line therapy will receive aflibercept and FOLFIRI (aflibercept 4 mg/kg, irinotecan 150 mg/m2 IV over 90 min, with levofolinate 200 mg/m2 IV over 2 h, followed by fluorouracil 400 mg/m2 bolus and fluorouracil 2400 mg/m2 continuous infusion over 46 h) every 2 weeks on day 1 of each cycle. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS). To achieve 80% power to show a significant response benefit with a one-sided alpha level of 0.10, assuming a threshold progression-free survival of 3 months and an expected value of at least 5.4 months, we estimated that 32 patients are necessary. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, overall response rate, safety, and exploratory biomarker analysis for differentiating anti-VEGF drug in 2nd-line chemotherapy for unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer. Discussion This is the first study to investigate whether FOLFIRI plus aflibercept has efficacy following FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab for unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer. Switching to a different type of anti-VEGF drug in second-line therapy after FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab appears to be an attractive treatment strategy when considering survival benefit. It is expected that this phase II study will prove the efficacy of this strategy and that a biomarker for drug selection will be discovered.

Purpose To test the efficacy of adding cisplatin to first-line treatment for elderly patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) within a combined analysis of two parallel phase III trials, MILES-3 and MILES-4. Patients and Methods Patients with advanced NSCLC who were older than age 70 years with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0 to 1 were randomly assigned to gemcitabine or pemetrexed, without or with cisplatin. In each trial, 382 events were required to detect a hazard ratio (HR) of death of 0.75, with 80% power and two-tailed α of .05. Trials were closed prematurely because of slow accrual, but the joint database allowed us to analyze the efficacy of cisplatin on the basis of intention-to-treat and adjusted by trial, histotype, non-platinum companion drug, stage, performance status, sex, age, and size of the study center. Results From March 2011 to August 2016, 531 patients (MILES-3, 299; MILES-4, 232) were assigned to gemcitabine or pemetrexed without (n = 268) or with cisplatin (n = 263). Median age was 75 years, 79% were male, and 70% had nonsquamous histology. At a median 2-year follow-up, 384 deaths and 448 progression-free survival events were recorded. Overall survival was not significantly prolonged with cisplatin (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.70 to 1.05; P = .14) and global health status score of quality of life was not improved, whereas progression-free survival (HR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.63 to 0.92; P = .005) and objective response rate (15.5% v 8.5%; P = .02) were significantly better. Significantly more severe hematologic toxicity, fatigue, and anorexia were found with cisplatin. Conclusion The addition of cisplatin to single-agent chemotherapy does not significantly prolong overall survival, and it does not improve global health status score of quality of life in elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.

Purpose We reported previously that the detection of androgen receptor splice variant-7 (AR-V7) mRNA in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) correlated with poor outcomes from the use of abiraterone and enzalutamide in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Here, we expanded our cohort size to better characterize the prognostic significance of AR-V7 in this setting. Methods We prospectively enrolled 202 patients with CRPC starting abiraterone or enzalutamide and investigated the prognostic value of CTC detection (+ v –) and AR-V7 detection (+ v –) using a CTC-based AR-V7 mRNA assay. We examined ≥ 50% prostate-specific antigen (PSA) responses, PSA progression-free survival, clinical and radiologic progression-free survival, and overall survival. We constructed multivariable models adjusting for PSA, Gleason sum, number of prior hormone therapies, prior abiraterone or enzalutamide use, prior taxane use, presence of visceral metastases, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score. We also separately examined the first-line and second-line novel hormonal therapy (NHT) settings. Results Median follow-up times were 15.0, 21.7, and 14.6 months for CTC–, CTC+/AR-V7– and CTC+/AR-V7+ patients, respectively. CTC+/AR-V7+ patients were more likely to have Gleason scores ≥ 8 ( P = .05), metastatic disease at diagnosis ( P = .01), higher PSA ( P < .01), prior abiraterone or enzalutamide use ( P = .03), prior taxane use ( P = .02), and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group ≥ 1 ( P = .01). Outcomes for the overall cohort (and separately for the first-line and second-line NHT cohorts) were best for CTC– patients, intermediate for CTC+/AR-V7– patients, and worse for CTC+/AR-V7+ patients. These correlations remained significant in multivariable models. Conclusion This expanded analysis further characterizes the importance of CTC-based AR-V7 mRNA detection in predicting outcomes in patients with CRPC receiving first- and second-line NHT and, to the best of our knowledge, is the first to suggest that this assay be interpreted using three separate prognostic categories: CTC–, CTC+/AR-V7–, and CTC+/AR-V7+.

Abstract Bortezomib is a targeted proteosome inhibitor licensed & approved for in multiple myeloma both as first line and in relapsed setting. This is a retrospective non experimental cross sectional quantitative comparative group study using clinical case notes, laboratory & pharmacy records for patients treated with Bortezomib in 2011 & 2012. Outcomes studied included remission status, adverse events, progression free survival and overall survival at follow up. The study also looked at the comparative responses of cohort of patients administered Bortezomib through intravenous & subcutaneous route. The cohort consisted of 33 patients, 21 male, 11 female, median age 71 years, first line 10 patients, second line 23 , median number of cycles in 2011 & 2012 – first line 3 & 8 , second line 5 & 4, respectively. In 2011, 8 received intravenous treatment, 9 were switched from intravenous to subcutaneous route whilst all patients from 2012 received subcutaneous Bortezomib. The most frequently used regimen was Bortezomib Dexamethasone ( VD). The overall response rate ( ORR >/= Minor Response) was: First line 70% (7/10) ; Second line 47.8% ( 11/23); median PFS ( Figure 1) 6 months ( First line: 7 months ; Second line : 6 months) and median overall survival ( Figure 2) at follow up: 9 months ; 39.4 % ( 13/33) First line 8.5 months, Second line 11 months. Subcutaneous Bortezomib was equivalent to intravenous Bortezomib in terms of efficacy & tolerance. Of 33 patients, there were 12 dose reductions. Adverse events reported included: peripheral Neuropathy - grade 3 - 6% ( all grades 27.3%); Diarrhoea - grade 3 - 3% (all grades 6%); Nausea / Vomiting - grade 3 - 3% ( all grades 6%) and Second Primary Malignancies - 12% ( 4 of 33). Mortality at follow up was 20 patients from cohort of 33 ; causes included disease progression in 11, second primary malignancy with disease progression in 4, COPD 2, Systemic Amyloidosis 2, Tuberculosis 1 , Multiple co morbidities 1 and Asthma with mechanical failure in single patient. Second primary malignancies ( 4/33) included Prostate carcinoma ( 1), Renal Cell Carcinoma (1), Neuroendocrine tumour ( 1 ) and Unknown Primary in single patient. Beyond second line treatment, majority (14 of 23 patients; 60.9 %) did not have further active treatment. These data indicate that patient outcomes were modest compared to published data from VISTA and APEX trials. Majority of patients did not have further active treatment beyond second line which suggests the most effective treatment strategy should be used upfront as patients may not be fit to have further lines of therapy despite availability of recently introduced novel targeted agents. A higher percentage of second primary malignancies were noticed in this cohort which should be an area of further clinical research.

290 Background: In three randomized trials in the first-line metastatic breast cancer (MBC) setting, combining BEV with CT significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS; primary endpoint) and objective response rate (ORR) vs. CT alone. BEV also showed a significant PFS benefit in the second-line MBC setting (RIBBON-2) when combined with TAX or other CT. We analyzed data from the subgroup of patients (pts) with TNBC in RIBBON-2. Methods: Eligible pts had MBC that had progressed on first-line CT without BEV. Second-line CT (TAX, gemcitabine, capecitabine, or vinorelbine) was chosen before 2:1 randomization to CT with either BEV (10 mg/kg q2w or 15 mg/kg q3w) or placebo (PLA). All pts could receive BEV at progression. The primary endpoint was PFS. Results: RIBBON-2 included 684 pts; 159 (23%) had TNBC and of these, 67 (42%) received TAX with BEV/PLA. Baseline characteristics were broadly similar in the two treatment arms. In an exploratory analysis of pts with TNBC, BEV + CT led to significantly improved PFS and ORR vs. CT alone, and a trend toward improved overall survival (OS). The magnitude of the effect was particularly pronounced in pts receiving TAX CT. Conclusions: Pts with TNBC derive significant ORR and PFS benefit from BEV combined with second-line CT. Despite the small sample size, there was a trend (HR 0.624; p = 0.0534) toward OS benefit in pts treated with BEV, especially with TAX CT. [Table: see text]

6092 Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are currently used to treat patients with advanced iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC) but none has been approved by the FDA or the EMA until now. Sometimes, patients are treated with off-label TKI when a clinical trial is not available or in second- and third-line therapy. Methods: We hereby report the efficacy of “off-label” sorafenib and sunitinib treatments as first-, second- and third-line therapy in metastatic DTC patients from the French TUTHYREF (TUmeurs THYroïdiennes REFractaires) network. Primary endpoints were progression free survival (PFS) and tumor response according to sequential TKI treatment. Secondary endpoint was organ-specific metastatic site analysis. Results: 45 patients with advanced iodine-refractory DTC treated with off-label TKI were included in this study (26 men, mean age: 62 years). 22 had papillary, 10 had follicular and 13 had poorly DTC. 24/45 patients were treated with two and 3/45 with three lines of TKIs. Sorafenib was the most frequently used (57%) followed by sunitinib (21.5%) and vandetanib (21.5%). Partial response (PR) rate was of 29% in the 21 patients who received first-line sorafenib therapy whereas PR was observed in 57% of the 7 first-line sunitinib patients. There was no PR with second- (n=24) and third-line (n=3) treatments. However, median progression free survival (PFS) was similar in second- as compared to first-line sorafenib or sunitinib treatment (6.7 vs. 7.6 months, HR 0.85 (95CI 0.45-1.61) p=0.6). Liver metastases were the most responsive to treatment (n=7; mean of -30%), followed by lung (n=57; mean of -19%) and lymph node (n=43; mean of -13%) metastases. Bone (n=14) and pleural (n=9) lesions were the most refractory to treatment (mean of -1% and -5%, respectively). Conclusions: Due to the small number of patients, we could not recommend a specific treatment sequence (sorafenib then sunitinib) over another (sunitinib then sorafenib). But TKI therapy appears to be beneficial in refractory DTC patients even in second- and third-line therapy, with similar PFS and stable disease as best response. Bone and pleural metastases were the most refractory and liver lesions the most responsive to treatment.

10572 Background: In STS third line treatment is poorly defined. However many patients (pts), after aggressive therapy as first and second line progress in their disease ask to be treated. Oral cyclophosphamide (CPM) was already used in breast cancer, prostate cancer and in elderly pts with STS with favourable results. Aim of our study was to define the feasibility, tolerability and activity of oral CPM as third line and further line chemotherapy Methods: 45 pts (19 M; 26 F) with advanced or metastatic STS heavily pretreated were included. Oral CPM was given daily at total dose of 50 mg/day without interruption excepted for toxicity or progressive disease Results: Median age was 60 (32-81), histological subtypes were: leiomyosarcoma 12, liposarcoma 10, condrosarcoma 5, sinovialsarcoma 4, sarcoma NOS 4, other 10. Primary sites were: extremities 21, retroperitoneum 19, trunk 5. 41 pts were metastatic, 4 locally advanced. 41 pts were pretreated with chemotheraphy (15 were in II line, 17 in III line, 7 in IV line, 2 in V line). Median PS (ECOG) was 2 . Median duration of theraphy was 4 months (1-38). Progression free survival (PFS) ranged from 0 to 42+ months (median 4 months). Treatment was well tolerated, we registred only one episode of leucopenia G2 and one of asthenia G2. No complete responses were seen. Only 3 minimal responses and 18 stable disease were seen. Conclusions: Oral CPM showed a mild activity and good tolerability in advanced soft tissue and metastatic STS. It could be an appropriate solution as second line and further therapy and in unfit or elderly pts.

474 Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the US. Half of pts diagnosed with CRC develop liver disease. Unresectable liver metastases are responsible for morbidity/mortality. Typically, pts with metastatic CRC receive an oxaliplatin- or irinotecan-based regimen as first-line chemotherapy, +/- bevacizumab. On progression, pts are treated with the regimen they did not receive during first-line chemo. A study to evaluate yttrium 90 glass microspheres (TheraSphere; 90Y) in pts with unresectable mCRC of the liver showed that pts with good performance status, no extrahepatic metastases, and ≤ 25% tumor may benefit most from 90Y. 90Y glass microspheres are approved by FDA under a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE). This study will evaluate outcomes in this patient subset when 90Y is added to second-line SOC chemo. The objective is to evaluate efficacy/safety of 90Y in patients with liver mCRC that has progressed after first-line chemo. Methods: Open-label, multi-center, randomized study to evaluate 90Y treatment in ~340 eligible pts, in whom SOC 2nd-line chemo with either an oxaliplatin or irinotecan-based regimen is planned. Eligible pts will be randomized 1:1 to control or treatment. Treatment pts will receive a first cycle of second-line chemo within 21 days of randomization and at least 14 days after the last dose of first-line agents including VEGF inhibitors. 90Y will be administered in place of the second chemotherapy cycle. Control pts will receive planned SOC second-line chemo. Primary endpoint is progression-free survival. Secondary: overall survival, hepatic progression-free survival, time to symptomatic progression, tumor response rate, and adverse events. Pts will have regular study visits as long as they participate, at which time safety/efficacy data will be collected and recorded. Results: NA Conclusions: Given the potential benefit to mCRC pts, this Phase 3 study will evaluate 90Y in the second-line setting in patients who have progressed following SOC first-line chemotherapy. Clinical trial information: NCT01483027.

648 Background: EVE following failure of sorafenib or sunitinib for RCC was first approved by the FDA in 2009. CATChEz (NCT01545817) was designed to test the activity of EVE following first-line PAZ in pts with advanced or metastatic RCC who had not received prior systemic therapy. Methods: From 2012 to 2016, pts received first-line PAZ followed by EVE until progressive disease (PD), death, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, or study termination. Pts with PD during or within 6 months of stopping PAZ were eligible for EVE. Pts off study treatment were evaluated for PD, survival, and updates on anticancer treatment every 8 weeks until death or end of study. The primary efficacy endpoint was median progression-free survival (mPFS) for the second-line EVE treatment period; secondary endpoints included other survival measures, and safety evaluations were for second-line EVE and grade 3/4 toxicities attributable to PAZ and EVE. Results: Of 74 pts who started first-line PAZ, 38 received ≥1 dose of second-line EVE. The primary endpoint of mPFS from the start of second-line EVE and the secondary endpoint of mPFS with first-line PAZ (Table) were consistent with previous reports; no unexpected adverse events (AEs) were reported. All pts had ≥1 treatment-emergent AE, 83.8% had grade ≥3 AEs, and 71.6% had serious AEs. Of 34 total deaths, 29 were due to PD and 5 were due to AEs (2 related to EVE [lower respiratory tract infection; pulmonary sepsis]; 3 unrelated to study treatment). Conclusions: Efficacy and safety outcomes were consistent with published phase III data. The CATChEz study supports sequential first-line use of PAZ followed by EVE for the treatment of pts with advanced or metastatic RCC. Clinical trial information: NCT01545817. [Table: see text]
