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.

Aim: Examine the effects of baseline hypertension (HTN) and statin or proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use on sunitinib treatment outcomes in STAR-TOR, a real-world registry. Materials & methods: Presence or absence of HTN and use or nonuse of statins or PPIs were determined at registry entry. End points included overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Results: Data were from 557 patients. Presence or absence of HTN did not affect OS or PFS. PFS (median [95% CI]) was longer in statin users (9.4 [6.5–13.6] months) versus nonusers (6.9 [5.7–8.2] months) (p = 0.0442). OS was shorter in PPI users (20.2 [14.9–28.3] months) versus nonusers (25.7 [22.7–33.0] months) (p = 0.0212). Conclusion: Comorbidities and comedications may affect real-world sunitinib treatment outcomes. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT00700258 ( ClinicalTrials.gov )

426 Background: In an open-label, phase IV study of sunitinib as 1st-line treatment (Tx) in Chinese pts with mRCC, median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 61.7 and 133.4 wk, respectively; objective response rate (ORR) was 31.1% (Ann Oncol 2012;23:851P). We retrospectively investigated correlations between on-Tx hypertension (HTN), neutropenia (N), and thrombocytopenia (T) and efficacy endpoints in pts from this trial. Methods: HTN was defined by either maximum systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg (S-HTN) or maximum diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg (D-HTN). Using CTCAE assessment, N grade ≥2 and T grade >1 were used as cut-points for the analyses. Median PFS and OS were estimated by Kaplan−Meier method. The log-rank test was used to compare PFS and OS between groups with and without HTN, N grade ≥2, or T grade >1. Fisher’s exact test was used for ORR. Results: 102 pts were included in the HTN analyses, 60% with S-HTN versus 40% without S-HTN. Pts with S-HTN had greater ORR and longer PFS and OS than pts without S-HTN (Table). (Results were similar with D-HTN; see Table.) 103 pts were included in the N and T analyses, 67% with N grade ≥2 versus 33% with N grade <2, and 56% with T grade >1 versus 44% with T grade ≤1. Pts with N grade ≥2 had significantly greater ORR and significantly longer PFS and OS than pts with N grade <2 (Table). Pts with T grade >1 had greater ORR and significantly longer PFS and OS than pts with T grade ≤1 (Table). Conclusions: The developments of N grade ≥2 and T grade >1 during Tx with sunitinib were significantly associated with better outcome. Median PFS was more than twice as long for pts with S-HTN as for those without S-HTN, but the association did not reach statistical significance. [Table: see text]

e14622 Background: Data from the Czech national registry of patients treated with targeted therapies for mCRC were analyzed retrospectively to compare treatment outcomes for bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd line of treatment. Methods: The database was launched in 2005 as a clinical registry of patients with mCRC treated with bevacizumab. Epidemiological and clinical data are entered by all Czech comprehensive cancer centers administering targeted therapy. In total, 4487 mCRC patients who received bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy in either 1st line (n=3990, 88.9%), 2nd line (n=386, 8.6%), or 3rd and higher line (n=111, 2.5%) had evaluable data and were included in the present analysis. Survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the differences were assessed using the log-rank test. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in the efficacy of combination chemotherapy with bevacizumab between the treatment lines. The objective response rate (ORR) in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd/higher line was 42.9%, 34.0% and 8.3%; (p<0.001) respectively. Similarly, in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd/higher line median progression free survival (mPFS) was 11.3 months (95% CI 11.0-11.7 months), 9.5 months (95% CI 8.2-10.9 months) , and 7.3 months (95% CI 5.9-8.7 months; p<0.001), and median overall survival (mOS) was 28.4 months (95% CI 27.1-29.8 months), 25.9 months (95% CI 19.4-32.4 months), and 15.0 months (95% CI 10.7-19.3 months; p<0.001), respectively. The spectrum of the most common adverse events was comparable in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd/higher line, and incidence of adverse events was similar at 11.6%, 8.8% and 8.1%, respectively. Conclusions: The efficacy of bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy decreased when administered in later lines of treatment for mCRC while the incidence and spectrum of toxicities remains unchanged.

Background/Aims: Lenvatinib was recently approved as a first-line oral multikinase inhibitor for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib and sorafenib for the treatment of unresectable HCC in patients with prior failure of transarterial treatment. Methods: Between January 2019 and September 2020, 98 unresectable HCC patients treated with lenvatinib or sorafenib as salvage therapy were enrolled from five Korean university-affiliated hospitals. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate were calculated to assess the antitumor response. Results: A total of 43 and 55 patients were treated with lenvatinib and sorafenib, respectively, as salvage therapy after the failure of transarterial treatments. The median PFS was 4.97 months in the lenvatinib group and 2.47 months in the sorafenib group (p = 0.001, log-rank test). The ORR was significantly higher in the lenvatinib group (25.6%) than in the sorafenib group (3.6%, p = 0.002). Use of lenvatinib over sorafenib (hazard ratio: 0.359, 95% confidence interval: 0.203–0.635, p < 0.001) was the most significant factor for a favorable PFS after the failure of transarterial treatments in all enrolled patients. For favorable OS, achieving objective response was the significant factor (hazard ratio 0.356, 95% confidence interval: 0.132–0.957, p = 0.041). There were no significant differences in the safety profile between the two groups. Conclusions: In this real-world study, lenvatinib was demonstrated to be more efficacious than sorafenib as a salvage therapy for transarterial treatments in unresectable HCC.

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.

e16567 Background: ICI/TKI combinations are a new standard of care for the initial treatment (tx) of mRCC. Efficacy and toxicity of such combination regimens beyond the first-line (1L) setting remain unknown. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts for adult patients (pts) receiving an ICI/TKI combination in any line of tx for mRCC of any histology at one of two academic centers as of May 1, 2020. ICIs included pembrolizumab (Pm), nivolumab (Ni), ipilimumab (Ip), or avelumab (Av); TKIs included sunitinib (Su), axitinib (Ax), pazopanib (Pz), lenvatinib (Ln), or cabozantinib (Ca). Clinical data including pt demographics, histology, International mRCC Database Consortium (IMDC) risk group, tx history, and ICI/TKI tx and toxicity details were recorded. Outcomes included objective response rate (ORR), median progression-free survival (mPFS), and safety, analyzed via descriptive statistics and the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Of 85 pts, 69 (81%) were male and 67 (79%) had clear cell histology. IMDC risk was favorable (24%), intermediate (54%), poor (20%), and unknown (2%). 39% had ICI/TKI tx in the 1L setting. ICI/TKI regimens included Pm/Ax (33%), Ni/Ca (25%), Ni/Ax (20%), Av/Ax (11%), Ni/Ip/Ca (8%), Ni/Su (2%), and Ni/Ln (1%). ORR and mPFS stratified by line of tx and prior tx are shown in the table. Of 52 pts who received ICI/TKI tx as salvage (after 1L), 52% had a grade 3 or higher (≥G3) adverse event (AE), of which the most common were anorexia (13.5%), diarrhea and hypertension (11.5% each), and fatigue (9.6%). 65% of pts on salvage ICI/TKI tx stopped tx for progression/death, while 16% stopped tx for ≥G3 AE. ≥G3 AE rates by line of tx were 62.5% (2L), 50% (3L), and 45% (≥4L). Conclusions: ICI/TKI combination therapy is effective and safe beyond the 1L setting. Prior tx history appears to impact efficacy but has less of an effect on safety/tolerability. These observations will need to be confirmed in prospective studies.[Table: see text]

e21032 Background: Previous studies suggested that MET exon 14 ( METex14) mutation regarding as a distinct subset was sensitive to MET-inhibitors, but poorly response to immunotherapy. Conversly, MET non-exon-14 (non-ex14) mutations including those undetermined functions and affecting the kinase or extracellular domains were found to be associated with the resistance to MET-inhibitors. However, therapeutic strategies for MET-non-ex14 mutant cancer are still largely unknown, and the relationship between MET-non-ex14 mutations and the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has never been reported. Using two public ICIs-treated cohorts, we aimed to assess the role of MET mutations including both METex14 and MET-non-ex14 mutations in NSCLC patients undergoing ICIs therapy. Methods: A total of 385 ICIs-treated NSCLC patients were enrolled to our study. MET mutations were defined as any nonsynonymous mutations, and we divided them into METex14 and MET-non-ex14 mutation subsets according to the mutated-position on MET. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze the difference of tumor mutational burden (TMB) score, and the Fisher’s exact test was applied to compare the rates of durable clinical benefit (DCB). Log-rank test was used to analyze the differences between Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Results: In the entire cohort, we found that 17 patients (17/385, 4.4%) had MET mutations, most of which were pure METex14 mutations (10/17, 58.8%). The median TMB of patients in the entire NSCLC cohort was 6.89 mut/Mb. MET-non-ex14 mutant patients (7/385, 1.8%) possessed a significantly higher TMB than METex14-mutant (10/385, 2.6%) and MET wild-type (368/385, 95.6%) sub-cohorts, respectively (median TMB, 17.92 mut/Mb versus 4.17 mut/Mb, p = 0.008; 17.92 mut/Mb versus 6.96 mut/Mb, p = 0.01, respectively). DCB was more common in patients harbored MET-non-ex14 mutations than patients with METex14 mutations and MET wild-type (66.7% versus 14.3%, p = 0.103; 66.7% versus 29.9%, p = 0.075, respectively). We found that patients with MET-non-ex14 mutations had a numerically longer progression free survival (PFS) than those with METex14 mutations and MET wild-type (p = 0.169). Moreover, the PFS was significantly longer in MET-non-ex14-mutant subgroup than patients with METex14 mutations (median PFS, 9.1 versus 2.1 months, p = 0.025). Correspondingly, the overall survival (OS) was significantly longer in MET-non-ex14-mutant subgroup than their wild-type counterparts (median OS, not reached versus 11 months, p = 0.039). Additionally, patients with MET-non-ex14 mutations exhibited relatively better OS versus METex14-mutant patients (median OS, not reached versus 18 months, p = 0.175). Conclusions: MET-non-ex14 mutations were associated with higher TMB, improved DCB rate, and could act as a favorable prognostic biomarker in ICIs-treated NSCLC patients.

341 Background: Neutrophilia is known to be associated with worse prognosis in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC); however, less is known about the role of eosinophils in the response to immunotherapy (IO). We investigated the association of the baseline neutrophil to eosinophil ratio (NER) with outcomes to IO-based combination treatment in mRCC. Methods: Patients with mRCC treated with ipilimumab plus nivolumab, pembrolizumab plus axitinib, or avelumab plus axitinib at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center were retrospectively identified. Patients on >10mg prednisone and patients with prior IO were excluded. Baseline NER (at time of first IO) and association with progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and objective response rate (ORR) were investigated. Data cutoff was 9/1/2020. Analysis for PFS and OS was performed using the log-rank test and Mantel-Haenszel method, and analysis of the odds ratio for ORR was performed using Fischer’s exact test. Results: Sixty-one patients were identified: 89% clear cell histology, 74% prior nephrectomy, 69% IMDC intermediate risk, and 72% treatment-naïve. Patients with baseline NER < median (N=31) had improved clinical outcomes compared to patients with baseline NER > median (N=30) (Table). Improvement in PFS by NER was maintained when stratified by anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 and anti-PD(L)-1/VEGF (p= 0.0062 and p= 0.049); however, differences in OS and ORR were no longer significant. The median baseline NER among patients with partial response (PR) was significantly lower at 22.7 (95% CI 18.9-31.1) vs. 51.6 (95% CI 39.5-93.1) among those with progressive disease (PD) (p= 0.0054). For comparison, the median neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio was not significantly different between PR (2.60) and PD (3.84, p= 0.056). Conclusions: Patients with a low baseline NER treated with IO-based combinations had improved clinical outcomes compared to patients with a high baseline NER. Additional investigation of this parameter in larger cohorts is warranted. [Table: see text]

Background. We investigated the efficacy of TILs and anti-PD1 combination therapy in patients with metastatic cervical cancer with low MSI expression and PDL1-negative. Methods. A total of 80 patients were put on TILs and anti-PD1 combination therapy, and the progression-free survival time (PFS) and overall survival time (OS) were assessed by Kaplan–Meier analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors that could predict the prognosis of metastatic cervical cancer in the previously described patients. Results. The objective response rate was 25%, whereas the mPFS and mOS were 6.1 and 11.3 months, respectively. The therapeutic efficacy was influenced by the characteristics of TILs, infection with HPV, and development of fever just after the therapy. Conclusion. Overall, our results show that the combination therapy of TILs and anti-PD1 significantly improves the prognosis of metastatic cervical cancer.

ObjectiveWe described progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with primary mucinous ovarian cancer receiving adjuvant gynecologic versus gastrointestinal chemotherapy regimens.MethodsWe identified all primary mucinous ovarian cancer patients receiving adjuvant gynecologic or gastrointestinal chemotherapy regimens at a single institution from 1994 to 2016. Gynecologic pathologists using strict pathologic/clinical criteria determined diagnosis. Adjuvant therapy was coded as gynecologic or gastrointestinal based on standard agents and schedules. Clinical/pathologic/treatment characteristics were recorded. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for continuous variables, and Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables. Progression-free and overall survival were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, applying landmark analysis.ResultsOf 62 patients identified, 21 received adjuvant chemotherapy: 12 gynecologic, 9 gastrointestinal. Median age (in years) at diagnosis: 58 (range 25–68) gynecologic cohort, 38 (range 32–68) gastrointestinal cohort (p=0.13). Median body mass index at first post-operative visit: 25 kg/m2(range 18–31) gynecologic cohort, 23 kg/m2(range 18–31) gastrointestinal cohort (p=0.23). History of smoking: 6/12 (50%) gynecologic cohort, 3/9 (33%) gastrointestinal cohort (p=0.66). Stage distribution in gynecologic and gastrointestinal cohorts, respectively: stage I: 9/12 (75%) and 3/9 (33%); stage II: 2/12 (17%) and 1/9 (11%); stage III: 1/12 (8%) and 5/9 (56%) (p=0.06). Grade distribution in gynecologic and gastrointestinal cohorts, respectively: grade 1: 8/12 (67%) and 1/9 (13%); grade 2/3: 4/12 (33%) and 7/9 (88%) (p=0.03). Three-year progression-free survival: 90.9% (95% CI 50.8% to 98.7 %) gynecologic, 53.3% (95% CI 17.7% to 79.6%) gastrointestinal. Three-year overall survival: 90.9% (95% CI 50.8% to 98.7%) gynecologic, 76.2% (95% CI 33.2% to 93.5%) gastrointestinal.ConclusionOngoing international collaborative research may further define associations between chemotherapy regimens and survival.
