308 Background: Biosimilars for trastuzumab, a HER2 inhibitor (HER2I), have been available for use in the US since in 2019, yet information on their utilization and patient characteristics is limited. We assessed utilization and patient characteristics for the trastuzumab originator, biosimilars, and other HER2Is in the US. Methods: We analyzed healthcare claims for 10/1/2016-up to 2/29/2020 (end date varied across health plans) from the Biologics and Biosimilars Collective Intelligence Consortium’s Distributed Research Network ( > 95 million persons) using the FDA’s Sentinel distributed analysis tools. We conducted descriptive analyses on the number of incident users and patients’ characteristics for each HER2I. Adults continuously enrolled in their health plan with medical and drug coverage ≥365 days (baseline period) prior to their incident HER2I use were eligible for analysis. Results: Of the incident users (incident to any HER2Is), we identified 6,631 originator trastuzumab users, 122 trastuzumab-anns, 116 ado-trastuzumab emtansine, 54 neratinib, and 54 lapatinib users. Trastuzumab-dkst and trastuzumab/hyaluronidase-oysk had < 11 users each. Mean age was the highest for trastuzumab/hyaluronidase-oysk (73.7 years; SD, 18.6) and similar between the trastuzumab originator and biosimilars (52.5-59.0). The number of incident users/100,000 person-years decreased for the trastuzumab originator from 13.5 in 2016 to 9.4 in 2020 and increased for trastuzumab-anns from 0.4 in 2019 to 4.9 in 2020. Of the baseline clinical characteristics examined, Charlson/Elixhauser comorbidity score was the highest for lapatinib (2.0), lowest for trastuzumab-dkst and neratinib (0.5), and similar between the trastuzumab originator (1.1) and trastuzumab-anns (1.3). The proportion of patients who received any chemotherapy during the baseline period was 38.9% for lapatinib, 18.5% for the trastuzumab originator, and 14.8% for trastuzumab-anns. The proportion of endocrine therapy users was the highest for neratinib (63.0%) and similar between the trastuzumab originator (11.1%) and trastuzumab-anns (10.7%). Among incident users with metastatic breast cancer, endocrine therapy receivers during the baseline period accounted for 19.3% for the trastuzumab originator and 69.6% for lapatinib. Conclusions: Though full data were not available for 2019-2020 for all health plans, these preliminary findings suggest that utilization of biosimilar trastuzumab-anns increased whereas the trastuzumab originator use decreased over time and that there is a variation in patient characteristics between HER2Is and by metastatic status while the characteristics were generally similar between the trastuzumab originator and trastuzumab-anns. We plan to conduct ongoing assessment of HER2I utilization as more data become available to help inform clinical practices and health policies.

Aim: We conducted this study to describe nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) patient characteristics and treatment patterns in the US, Europe and Japan. Materials & methods: Descriptive analyses were conducted using the 2015–2017 Ipsos Global Oncology Monitor Database. Results: A total of 2065 (442 in the US, 509 in Europe and 1114 in Japan) patients (median age: 74–80 years; stage III at diagnosis : 38.5%; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG] score ≤1: 79.4%; treated by urologist : 88.4%) were included in the analytic cohort. Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists and antiandrogens were the most commonly used first regimen treatments. With subsequent nmCRPC regimens their use decreased, while the use of chemotherapy, corticosteroids, androgen synthesis inhibitors and second-generation androgen receptor inhibitors increased. Conclusion: These data represent real-world treatment patterns in nmCRPC.

e20545 Background: In primary metastatic breast cancer in elderly, both advanced age and advanced disease limit life expectancy. It remains a challenge to balancing the benefit from therapy and risk of adverse events impeding quality of life or survival. Our aim was to compare management and outcome of primary metastatic breast cancer in elderly treated in two health care settings. Methods: The first cohort comprised a hospital based series in the United States (US, n=73 women diagnosed between 2003 and 2012); the second comprised a population based series in The Netherlands (NL, n=125 women diagnosed between 2008 and 2012). All were ≥65 years at the time of diagnosis. Country was used as an instrumental variable, as a proxy for randomization to either care setting. Multivariable survival analyses were adjusted for age, comorbidity, T stage, nodal stage and hormone receptor status. Results: Characteristics of US and NL patients were similar, except for age (median 72; 79 years, p>0.001). US patients more often received breast surgery and chemotherapy in particular, less often endocrine therapy as monotherapy (Table), and received more lines of treatment (median 4; 2, p<0.001). Adverse events rarely were a reason for a next line of therapy (6% in each cohort). Three-year survival tended to be higher in US patients (HR for US patients was 0.71 (95% CI 0.48-1.05), p=0.089). Multivariable analyses revealed no survival differences (HR for US patients was 0.86 (95% CI 0.53-1.38), p=0.523). Results were similar after stratifying by age at diagnosis (<70; ≥70 years). Conclusions: Treatment of elderly with primary metastatic breast cancer varied considerably between the NL and the US cohort. However, no differences in overall survival were observed. These results warrant further studies to evaluate the extent of treatment in this population. [Table: see text]

1059 Background: Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is a heterogeneous disease associated with known somatic mutations of variable biological value in different subtypes. Furthermore, the clinical evolution of the disease demonstrates clonal evolution resulting in disease resistance more accurately detected using blood-based sequencing. Few studies have explored differences in genomic features of tumors across populations. Here, we performed circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) sequencing to compare the genomic landscape of patients with hormone-receptor positive MBC at time of first recurrence or de-novo metastatic diagnosis in the United States (US) and China. Methods: Twenty-three US patients from Northwestern University and 65 Chinese patients from Peking University had ctDNA sequencing from plasma performed using the harmonized CLIA-certified, 152-gene PredicineCARE assay in laboratories in the US and China, respectively. The data analysis was conducted in China. Institutional Review Boards at each site approved the study. Fisher’s exact test was performed to compare mutational frequencies across populations. Results: Median age of patients at MBC diagnosis was 51 in the US cohort and 55 in the Chinese cohort. 87% of US patients and 82% of Chinese patients had received prior therapy for primary breast cancer, including endocrine therapy. Mutations were detected in 17 of 23 (74%) US patients and 59 of 65 (91%) Chinese patients. CNAs were observed in 57% of US patients and 58% of Chinese patients. The most common mutations detected in US patients were TP53 (26%), PIK3CA (22%), AKT1 (22%), CDH1 (17%), PTEN (13%), and ESR1 (9%) vs. PIK3CA (46%), TP53 (35%), ESR1 (12%), and BRCA2 (11%) in Chinese patients. Frequency of AKT1 and CDH1 mutations were significantly higher in the US population (P < 0.05), while PIK3CA mutations were higher in the Chinese population (P < 0.05). CNA gains in CCND3 and CDK4 were significantly higher in the US cohort, and FGFR1 was significantly more common in the Chinese cohort (all P < 0.05). Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is a first cross-regional comparison study in HR+ MBC patients in the US and China using a harmonized cfDNA NGS platform. At a population level, there were notable differences observed in somatic variants in two cohorts. Future sequencing efforts and clinical trials should include patients of diverse ethnic backgrounds to explore the impact of differences in genomic landscape on probability of benefit from treatments. A larger validation cohort is required to confirm these findings.

Abstract Purpose Meaningful comparison of mutational landscapes across ethnic groups requires the use of standardized platform technology. We have used a harmonized NGS-based liquid biopsy assay to explore the differential genomic landscape of patients with initially hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative MBC of first line metastasis or primary Stage IV at diagnosis from the United States (US) and China (CN). Methods Plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from 27 US patients and 65 CN patients was sequenced using the harmonized CLIA-certified, 152-gene PredicineCare™ liquid biopsy assay. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between genomic alterations and progression-free survival (PFS), and p-values were calculated using the log-rank test. Results All patients in the CN cohort received chemotherapy and/or hormonal therapy, while 85.2% (23/27) patients in the US cohort received hormonal therapy plus CDK4/6 inhibitors. Mutations were detected in 23 of 27 (85%) US patients and 54 of 65 (83%) CN patients. The prevalence of AKT1 (P = 0.008) and CDH1 (P = 0.021) alterations were both higher in the US vs. CN cohort. In addition, FGFR1 amplification were more frequent in the CN vs. US cohort (P = 0.048). PTEN deletions (P = 0.03) and ESR1 alterations (P = 0.02) were associated with shorter PFS in the CN cohort, neither of these associations were observed in the US cohort. Interestingly, a reduced association between PTEN deletion and PFS was observed in patients receiving CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment. Conclusion The differential prevalence of ctDNA-based alterations such as FGFR1, AKT1, and CDH1 was observed in initially HR+/HER2− MBC patients in the US vs. CN. In addition, the association of PTEN deletions with shorter PFS was found in the CN but not the US cohort. The differential genomic landscapes across the two ethnic groups may reflect biologic differences and clinical implications.

154 Background: In 2016 we observed a lack of standardization in the use of cut-off points to define positivity when testing for PD-L1 expression in NSCLC, despite these being specified by assay manufacturers or recommended based on trial data. One year on we look at how clinical practice has changed in light of new approvals for PD-(L)1 inhibitors, availability of new IVD assays and changes in clinical practice guidelines recommending the use of immunotherapy for stage IV NSCLC. Here we explore how the variety of test brands and cut-off points used in the US has changed since 2016 by examining real-world clinical usage data. Methods: Between June and August 2016 and June and August 2017, a panel of pathologists in the US (n = 21 in 2016 and n = 28 in 2017) was asked to report on their practices relating to PD-L1 expression testing in NSCLC, through the submission of online de-identified record forms (n = 167 and n = 224 PD-L1-tested samples in 2016 and 2017 respectively). Results: Of the 224 samples gathered in 2017, 187 (84%) were tested with the Dako 22C3 pharmDx assay (vs 67% in 2016), 16 (7%) with the Dako 28-8 pharmDx assay (vs 22% in 2016) and 11 (5%) with a lab-developed test (LDT). An increase in the use of 1% staining as the cut-off was observed for both 22C3 and 28-8 pharmDx. The full distribution of cut-offs used is shown in the table below. Conclusions: Following initial fragmentation of clinical practices in 2016, PD-L1 expression testing has seen consolidation towards greater use of the Dako 22C3 assay and higher conformity in testing at the recommended cut-off points. While greater standardization simplifies testing, the choice of assay has potential implications on subsequent treatment: current PD-L1 assays allow physicians to confirm whether a specific PD-(L)1 inhibitor is appropriate for a patient, but there is no single PD-L1 expression test that supports oncologists in making treatment decisions for the PD-(L)1 inhibitor class as a whole.[Table: see text]

e13059 Background: Ribociclib and abemaciclib in combination with endocrine therapy have demonstrated survival benefit in women with HR-positive/HER2-negative mBC. This study assessed early real-world treatment and dosing patterns of ribociclib for mBC in a US community oncology setting. Methods: This was a retrospective, observational, descriptive study of female mBC patients initiating treatment with ribociclib between March 1, 2017 and September 30, 2018 within the US Oncology Network (USON) and followed through December 31, 2018. USON’s iKnowMed (iKM) EHR database was used to identify patients and medical chart data review was conducted to abstract treatment information. Descriptive analyses were performed to assess patient and treatment characteristics. Results: A total of 161 patients were selected for chart review, of which 116 patients who received ribociclib were confirmed as eligible. The mean age of patients at initiation of treatment was 66 (SD 14) years. Among patients with documented menopausal status, 90% were post-menopausal, and 10% were pre-menopausal. Among patients with documented receptor status, 99% were ER+/HER2-. Patients most commonly initiated ribociclib in the first-line setting (1L n = 52, 2L n = 30, 3L n = 9, 4L+ n = 25) and in combination with letrozole (n = 33, 28.4%). Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score at time of ribociclib initiation was 0-1 in 60.4% of patients. Documented metastatic sites were present in bone (35.3%), lung (8.6%), and liver (6%). The most common comorbidities documented within 6 months of treatment initiation were cardiovascular disease (53.4%), diabetes (19%), and depression (18.1%). Overall, 46.6% (n = 54) of patients received prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy and 32.8% patients (n = 38) received prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant endocrine therapy. 95% of patients started at the full dose of 600mg. One-fourth of patients (n = 29) had a dose-hold and 27.6% (n = 32) patients experienced a dose reduction with ribociclib therapy. Conclusions: This study represents early ribociclib uptake in a real-world setting in the US. Early utilization demonstrates patients receiving ribociclib are older and sicker than those in pivotal clinical trials. Substantial heterogeneity in ribociclib initiation by LOT was observed.

49 Background: In May 2020, Olaparib was approved for HRRm mCRPC post progression on abiraterone and enzalutamide, and rucaparib was approved for BRCAm mCPRC following progression on androgen receptor targeted inhibitors and prior taxane therapy for mCRPC. HRRm are associated with approximately 25% of mCRPC and may be derived from germline or somatic origin. Somatic and germline alterations can be detected by tumour testing, but to differentiate between these, independent germline testing is needed. This study examined real-world genomic/genetic testing (GT) patterns in patients (pts) diagnosed with mCRPC in the United States (US). Methods: Data were drawn from the Adelphi Prostate Cancer Disease Specific Programme; a point-in-time survey administered to oncologists (onc), urologists (uro) and surgeons (sur) between January and August 2020 in the US. Physicians (phys) completed an attitudinal survey and a patient record form for the next four to nine mCRPC pts seen. Study variables included patient demographics, clinical factors and GT patterns. HRRm testers were defined as phys who tested for HRRm. Pts were identified as positive, negative or unknown depending on the outcome of the HRRm test. Results: A total of 72 phys (69% onc/ 29% uro/ 1% sur; 40% academic vs. 60% community) reported on 346 mCRPC pts. 41% of phys were based in the Northeast, 24% Midwest, 23% South and 13% in the West region of the US. 65 phys (90%) reported having access to overall GT; of these 5% identified as having access to germline tests only, while 94% were able to test for germline and somatic mutations. Challenges to conducting GT overall were ‘cost per test’ (50%), ‘having to send out for the tests (within country)’ (25%), ‘inadequate sample available’ (25%) and ‘patient refusal’ (25%). GT was typically conducted at identification of castrate-resistance (52%), metastases (51%) and at initial diagnosis (49%). 72% of total phys were HRRm testers; for these, patient characteristics primarily driving HRRm testing included Ashkenazi Jewish heritage (63%) and ECOG of 2-4 (58%). Other common drivers were family history, young diagnosis age and hormone therapy failure (all 46%). 132 (38% of 326) mCRPC pts were tested for HRRm; 39% of tested pts were identified with a HRRm. Most common HRRm tested were BRCA1 (90%), BRCA2 (89%) and ATM (55%). Conclusions: In this study majority of US phys had access to GT, but testing was only performed in 38% of pts with mCRPC. The higher than expected % of pts identified with an HRRm suggest that molecular testing was prioritised in high risk populations, as identified by the phys. With the recent approval of olaparib and rucaparib, GT may become more routine in clinical practice to identify eligible pts. Broader testing may also depend on addressing other barriers to testing including cost and testing logistics/practicalities.

291 Background: Among patients (pts) with endometrial cancer (EC), response rates for platinum-based regimens in the first-line (1L) setting range from 40% to 62% in clinical trials. This study describes patient characteristics, treatment patterns, time to next treatment (TTNT), and overall survival (OS) among pts with advanced/recurrent EC treated with a platinum-based regimen in a real-world setting in the US. Methods: This retrospective study used Optum Clinformatics Extended Data Mart de-identified databases from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2019. Adult pts with advanced/recurrent EC who initiated a 1L platinum-based regimen and subsequently initiated second-line (2L) antineoplastic therapy were identified. Prior to initiation of 1L, a 12-month washout period of continuous enrollment without use of antineoplastic agents (except hormonal agents) was imposed. Kaplan-Meier (KM) rates were used to report TTNT and OS from 2L, third line (3L), and fourth line (4L), separately. Results: A total of 1878 pts with advanced/recurrent EC initiated 2L therapy following a platinum-based regimen in 1L. Among them, 739 (39.4%) pts initiated 3L and 330 (17.6%) initiated 4L or later (4L+) therapy. Median pt age was 68.0 years. More pts received platinum-based regimens (56.4%) in 2L than other options (Table). Few pts (3.3%) received immunotherapy. Among pts receiving 3L, a similar percentage of pts were treated with platinum-based (33.2%) and other chemotherapy regimens (33.8%); few pts received immunotherapy (3.0%). Among pts receiving 4L+, the most frequent treatment option was other chemotherapy (46.1%). Median TTNT was 17.7, 10.6, and 8.4 months for 2L, 3L, and 4L pts, respectively. KM rates of OS following initiation of 2L therapy at 1, 2, 3, and 4 years were 68.4%, 49.6%, 41.3%, and 33.6%, respectively, with a median OS of 23.5 months. Conclusions: Among pts with advanced/recurrent EC treated with platinum-based therapy in 1L, platinum-based regimens remain prevalent treatment choices in later lines of therapy. In this study, immunotherapy was used infrequently in 2L, 3L, and 4L+. The median TTNT decreased in later lines of therapy. This study highlights a critical need for novel, more effective treatment options in later lines of therapy to optimize outcomes among pts with advanced/recurrent EC.[Table: see text]

e13058 Background: Eribulin mesylate was approved in the United States (US) in 2010 for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (mBC) after at least two prior chemotherapeutic regimens, which should have included an anthracycline and a taxane in either the adjuvant or metastatic setting. Visceral metastases, including those to the lung and brain, have been identified as poor prognostic features for patients with mBC. The objective of this analysis was to assess the real-world clinical effectiveness of eribulin in mBC patients with visceral metastases when treated in accordance with the US label. Methods: Patients with mBC initiating eribulin consistent with the US label between 2011-2017 were identified through a retrospective, multi-site chart review study conducted in US oncology practices. De-identified, patient-level demographics, clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes were entered into an electronic case report form by the patients’ treating physicians. Sites of metastases at initiation of eribulin were indicated by providers. Clinical outcomes assessed included best overall response to eribulin as recorded in the patient’s chart, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). The proportion of patients with either a complete or partial response as their best overall response was calculated. PFS and OS were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method from the initiation of eribulin for all patients with visceral metastases and subsets reporting lung or brain metastases site, respectively. Results: The analysis included 470 patients with visceral metastases, including 342 with lung metastases and 22 with brain metastases at the time of eribulin initiation. Eribulin was third-line therapy for approximately three quarters of patients in these subgroups, and the remainder received eribulin in fourth line or later. Mean age was 59 years in general (59 and 54 years in those with lung and brain metastases, respectively). Over half of patients (53.6%) had either a complete or partial response to eribulin. Median PFS was estimated at 6.0 months, and median OS was estimated at 10.5 months. Results for the subgroups of patients with lung and brain metastases are shown in the table. Conclusions: The results of this retrospective analysis affirm clinical effectiveness of eribulin in mBC patients with visceral metastases, when used consistent with the US label.[Table: see text]

More pts received platinum-based regimens (56.4%) in 2L than other options (Table). Few pts (3.3%) received immunotherapy. Among pts receiving 3L, a similar percentage of pts were treated with platinum-based (33.2%) and other chemotherapy regimens (33.8%); few pts received immunotherapy (3.0%). Among pts receiving 4L+, the most frequent treatment option was other chemotherapy (46.1%). Median TTNT was 17.7, 10.6, and 8.4 months for 2L, 3L, and 4L pts, respectively. KM rates of OS following initiation of 2L therapy at 1, 2, 3, and 4 years were 68.4%, 49.6%, 41.3%, and 33.6%, respectively, with a median OS of 23.5 months. Conclusions: Among pts with advanced/recurrent EC treated with platinum-based therapy in 1L, platinum-based regimens remain prevalent treatment choices in later lines of therapy. In this study, immunotherapy was used infrequently in 2L, 3L, and 4L+. The median TTNT decreased in later lines of therapy. This study highlights a critical need for novel, more effective treatment options in later lines of therapy to optimize outcomes among pts with advanced/recurrent EC.[Table: see text]
