4507 Background: Cisplatin with gemcitabine (CG) remains the standard upfront chemotherapy regimen for metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC). Preclinical synergy was noted between cisplatin and berzosertib, a selective ATR inhibitor. The current study sought to determine if the combination of berzosertib and CG could improve clinical outcomes in mUC. Methods: An open-label, randomized study was conducted across 23 centers in the United States through the Experimental Therapeutics Clinical Trials Network of the National Cancer Institute. Key eligibility criteria included confirmed mUC, no prior cytotoxic therapy for metastatic disease, ≥ 12 months since perioperative therapy and eligibility for cisplatin based on standard criteria. Patients (pts) were randomized to receive either CG alone (control arm) or CG plus berzosertib (experimental arm). In the control arm, 70 mg/m2 of cisplatin was given on day 1 and gemcitabine at 1000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. In the experimental arm, 60 mg/m2 of cisplatin was given on day 1, gemcitabine at 875 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 and berzosertib at 90 mg/m2 on days 2 and 9 of a 21-day cycle. The primary endpoint of the study was progression-free survival (PFS), with secondary endpoints including response rate (RR), overall survival (OS) and toxicity. Results: A total of 87 pts (median age 67; M:F 68:19) were randomized; 41 pts received CG alone while 46 received CG with berzosertib. Visceral metastases were present in 49% of pts and 52%, 45% and 3% of pts were Bajorin risk 0, 1 and 2, respectively. Median PFS was 8.0 months for both arms (Bajorin risk adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.72-2.08). RR was 54%(4 CR, 21 PR) in the CG with berzosertib arm and 63% (4 CR, 22 PR) in CG alone arm (P = 0.66). Median OS was shorter with CG with berzosertib as compared to CG alone (14.4 versus 19.8 months; Bajorin risk adjusted HR 1.42, 95%CI 0.76-2.68). Notably higher rates of grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia (59% vs 39%) and neutropenia (37% vs 27%) were observed with CG plus berzosertib compared to CG alone. Higher rates of toxicity-related discontinuation were seen in the experimental arm (24% vs 15%), and the median cumulative cisplatin dose in the experimental arm was 250 mg/m2, as compared to 370 mg/m2 in the control arm (P < 0.001). Conclusions: No improvement in PFS was observed with the addition of berzosertib to CG, and a trend towards inferior survival was observed. These results suggest caution in reducing the starting dose of cytotoxic therapy to accommodate addition of a myelosuppressive agent, as in the experimental arm of this study. Clinical trial information: NCT02567409.

548 Background: YM155 (YM) is a small molecule survivin suppressant. In a phase I/II study of YM plus docetaxel (D) in solid tumors evidence of anti-tumor activity was observed in women with human epidermal growth factor 2 non-overexpressing (HER2 negative) metastatic breast cancer (mBC). Methods: This was a randomized study of YM plus D versus D as 1st line treatment in subjects with HER2 negative mBC. Eligibility criteria were: ECOG < 1, no prior chemotherapy for mBC, and at least one measurable lesion. Primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints were: objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DOR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), time to response (TTR) and safety. YM was administered at 5 mg/m2/day as a 168 hr continuous infusion followed by 14 Day (d) observation and D was administered at 75 mg/m2over 1 hr on d1 every 21d. In the control arm, D was dosed per investigator choice q 21d. Results: 101 subjects were randomized (50 YM + D; 51 D). Median (m) age 55 (range: 25 – 79), 25% had triple negative disease, > 60% had bone and lymph mets, 86% had prior therapy for BC. mPFS (days) was 251 (95%CI: 176 – 333) YM + D vs 252 (95%CI: 202-433) D (p=0.34). ORR, CBR and TTR (YM+D; D): 26% vs. 25.5%; 82% vs. 84.3% and 45 vs 59 d. OS data are immature but showed no difference (p=0.911). Adverse events [AEs (> 25%)] [YM + D% vs D %]: neutropenia 83 vs 84, alopecia 62.5 vs 53, fatigue 50 vs 41.2, nausea 35.4 vs 41.2, leucopenia 27 vs 33 and dyspnoea 33 vs 14. Common (>10%) serious AEs [YM + D% vs D%]: febrile neutropenia 21 vs 8 and neutropenia 10 vs 8. Conclusions: Preclinical and clinical evidence suggested the combination of YM + D may offer additional benefit to D alone in subjects with mBC. This study showed no difference in efficacy, but the combination appeared to be well tolerated. Clinical trial information: NCT01038804.

6013 Background: In Study 19 (NCT00753545), olaparib capsules demonstrated improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) vs placebo in the PSR OC maintenance setting, irrespective of BRCAm status (Ledermann et al. Lancet Oncol 2014). LIGHT is the first prospective study to evaluate olaparib tablet treatment in PSR OC pts by BRCAm and HRD status. Methods: This is an open-label, non-randomized study (NCT02983799) that assessed efficacy and safety of olaparib monotherapy (300 mg BID) in pts with PSR, high-grade serous/endometrioid epithelial OC and ≥1 prior line of platinum chemotherapy. Pts were assigned to one of four cohorts: germline (g) BRCAm; somatic (s) BRCAm; HRD+ve (non-BRCAm); HRD–ve; by Myriad BRACAnalysis CDx and myChoice tests. HRD+ve was a score ≥42. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included: disease control rate (DCR) and investigator-assessed PFS (RECIST v1.1). Primary analysis was to be ~6 months (mo) after the last pt was enrolled. Results: Data cut off was 8/27/19. Of 271 pts treated (median of 31.7 weeks [2.1–96.0]), 270 had measurable disease at baseline and were included in efficacy analyses (Table). The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were nausea (66%) and fatigue (62%).Serious AEs and Grade ≥3 AEs were experienced by 25% and 44% of pts, respectively. AEs leading to olaparib dose interruptions, reductions and discontinuations occurred in 33%, 24% and 4% of pts, respectively. Conclusions: Olaparib treatment demonstrated activity across all cohorts. As observed in the maintenance setting, similar efficacy was seen in the gBRCAm and sBRCAm cohorts. For non-BRCAm pts, longer median PFS and higher ORR were observed in the HRD+ve cohort. Olaparib treatment was well tolerated with no new safety signals identified and a safety profile consistent with that seen in the PSR and first-line settings. Clinical trial information: NCT02983799.

5002 Background: PRCC is the most common type of non-clear cell RCC, accounting for 10–15% of renal malignancies. As a subset of PRCC cases are MET-driven, MET inhibition may be an appropriate targeted treatment approach. In a single-arm Phase II study, savolitinib (AZD6094, HMPL‐504, volitinib), a highly selective MET-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, demonstrated antitumor activity in pts with MET-driven PRCC (Choueiri et al. JCO 2017). The Phase III SAVOIR study (NCT03091192) further assessed savolitinib vs standard of care sunitinib in pts with MET-driven PRCC. Methods: In this open-label (sponsor blinded), randomized study, pts with centrally confirmed MET-driven ( MET and/or HGF amplification, chromosome 7 gain and/or MET kinase domain mutations), metastatic PRCC were randomized to savolitinib 600 mg once daily (QD), or sunitinib 50 mg QD 4 weeks on / 2 weeks off. Primary objective was progression-free survival (PFS; RECIST 1.1 by blinded independent central review). Secondary objectives included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety and tolerability. Results: After external data on predicted PFS with sunitinib in pts with MET-driven disease became available, study enrollment was closed. At data cutoff (Aug 2019), only 60 of the planned 180 pts were randomized (savolitinib n = 33; sunitinib n = 27). Most had chromosome 7 gain (savolitinib 91%; sunitinib 96%) and no prior therapy (savolitinib 85%; sunitinib 93%). PFS, OS, and ORR were numerically improved with savolitinib vs sunitinib (Table). CTCAE grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) were reported in 42% and 81% of pts; dose modifications were related to AEs in 30% and 74% of pts with savolitinib and sunitinib respectively. After discontinuation, 36% of all savolitinib and 19% of all sunitinib pts received subsequent anticancer therapy. Conclusions: Although pt numbers and follow-up were limited, savolitinib demonstrated encouraging efficacy and an improved safety profile vs sunitinib, with fewer grade ≥3 AEs and fewer dose modifications required. Sunitinib performance was poorer than expected based on external retrospective data. Further investigation of savolitinib as a treatment option for MET-driven PRCC is warranted.

Abstract Background The open-label, randomized, active-controlled KEYNOTE-045 study (NCT02256436) showed that second-line pembrolizumab significantly improved overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced/metastatic urothelial cancer (UC) that progressed after first-line platinum-containing chemotherapy, compared with standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel, docetaxel, or vinflunine). Pembrolizumab is approved for patients with bladder cancer in Japan. Patients and methods Analysis was performed in the subgroup of Japanese patients enrolled in the KEYNOTE-045 study. Coprimary end points were OS and progression-free survival (PFS). Objective response rate (ORR) and safety were secondary end points. Results Fifty-two Japanese patients (pembrolizumab, n = 30; chemotherapy, n = 22) were followed up for a median of 26.1 months. Patients who received pembrolizumab compared with chemotherapy had a 19% lower risk for death (hazard ratio [HR] 0.81, 95% CI 0.44–1.50); after adjusting for baseline covariates, the HR for OS was 0.61 (95% CI 0.32–1.15). The 24-month OS rate was higher with pembrolizumab (26.9% vs 14.3%). PFS was 2.0 and 4.9 months for pembrolizumab and chemotherapy, respectively (HR 1.71, 95% CI 0.95–3.08). ORR was similar for pembrolizumab and chemotherapy (20.0% vs 18.2%); durability of response was higher with pembrolizumab: 67% and 33% of patients, respectively, maintained a response for > 12 months. Treatment-related adverse events, including grade 3–5 events, occurred less frequently with pembrolizumab. Conclusions Pembrolizumab provided durable antitumor activity in patients with locally advanced/metastatic UC that progressed after platinum-containing chemotherapy in the overall population and in the Japanese subgroup; safety profile was consistent with that previously observed for pembrolizumab.

Purpose To determine whether addition of gemcitabine to concurrent cisplatin chemoradiotherapy and as adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin improves progression-free survival (PFS) at 3 years compared with current standard of care in locally advanced cervical cancer. Patients and Methods Eligible chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-naive patients with stage IIB to IVA disease and Karnofsky performance score ≥ 70 were randomly assigned to arm A (cisplatin 40 mg/m2 and gemcitabine 125 mg/m2 weekly for 6 weeks with concurrent external-beam radiotherapy [XRT] 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions, followed by brachytherapy [BCT] 30 to 35 Gy in 96 hours, and then two adjuvant 21-day cycles of cisplatin, 50 mg/m2 on day 1, plus gemcitabine, 1,000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8) or to arm B (cisplatin and concurrent XRT followed by BCT only; dosing same as for arm A). Results Between May 2002 and March 2004, 515 patients were enrolled (arm A, n = 259; arm B, n = 256). PFS at 3 years was significantly improved in arm A versus arm B (74.4% v 65.0%, respectively; P = .029), as were overall PFS (log-rank P = .0227; hazard ratio [HR], 0.68; 95% CI, 0.49 to 0.95), overall survival (log-rank P = .0224; HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.49 to 0.95), and time to progressive disease (log-rank P = .0012; HR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.37 to 0.79). Grade 3 and 4 toxicities were more frequent in arm A than in arm B (86.5% v 46.3%, respectively; P < .001), including two deaths possibly related to treatment toxicity in arm A. Conclusion Gemcitabine plus cisplatin chemoradiotherapy followed by BCT and adjuvant gemcitabine/cisplatin chemotherapy improved survival outcomes with increased but clinically manageable toxicity when compared with standard treatment.

Abstract Introduction: For pts with RRMM who have failed or progressed on treatment (Tx) with newer agents, such as lenalidomide (LEN) and bortezomib (BORT), there are few Tx options, and overall survival (OS) is short (Kumar et al, Leukemia, 2012). POM is a distinct immunomodulatory agent with tumoricidal and immunoregulatory effects, and POM + LoDEX is approved in the United States and European Union for the Tx of pts with RRMM who have had ≥ 2 prior Tx, including LEN and BORT. Tx with POM + LoDEX has shown statistically greater survival benefits than high-dose DEX (MM-003; San Miguel et al, Lancet Oncol, 2013) or POM alone (MM-002; Richardson et al, Blood, 2014). POM + LoDEX has also demonstrated high overall response rates in pts with RRMM in the STRATUS trial (MM-010), a single-arm, open-label phase 3b study being conducted in 19 countries across Europe with a primary endpoint of safety (Dimopoulos et al, EHA 2015). Italian pts constituted the largest national subset in MM-010; hence, this subanalysis examines the safety and efficacy of POM + LoDEX in pts from Italy. Patients and Methods: Pts with RRMM (progressive disease [PD] on or within 60 days of last prior Tx) who had experienced Tx failure with BORT and LEN and had received adequate prior alkylator therapy were eligible. Pts received POM 4 mg on days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle in combination with DEX 40 mg (20 mg for pts aged > 75 yrs) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Thromboprophylaxis was required for all pts, and Tx was continued until PD or unacceptable toxicity. Results: A total of 219 pts were enrolled in MM-010 in Italy. The median age of this patient population was 67.0 yrs (range, 42-84 yrs), and 54.8% of pts were male. The median time since diagnosis was 5.5 yrs, and 37.0% of pts were International Staging System stage III. Patients were heavily pretreated, with a median of 4 prior anti-myeloma regimens (range, 2-11), and most pts were refractory to LEN (95%), BORT (82.2%), or both LEN and BORT (78.1%). As of May 4, 2015, 2 pts (0.9%) were not treated, 54 pts (24.7%) were still on treatment, and 163 pts (74.4%) had discontinued. After a median follow-up of 11.3 mos, in the intention-to-treat population, the overall response rate was 37.9% (range, 31.4%-44.7%), the median duration of response was 6.8 mos (95% CI, 4.9-10.8 mos), progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.2 mos (95% CI, 4.4-6.4 mos), and OS was 12.0 mos (95% CI, 10.6-15.2 mos). The most frequent grade 3/4 treatment-emergent AEs were neutropenia (56.7%), anemia (25.8%), thrombocytopenia (23.5%), and pneumonia (12.4%). Incidence of grade 3/4 venous thromboembolism (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) and peripheral neuropathy were infrequent (2.3% and 0%, respectively). The most common reasons for discontinuation were disease progression (49.8%), death (10.0%), and adverse events (AEs; 5.0%). AEs led to dose reductions or interruptions of POM in 23.0% and 71.0% of pts, respectively, and the median relative dose intensity for POM was 0.90. Conclusions: In line with previous studies, POM + LoDEX was active in Italian pts, a representative subset of the heavily pretreated MM-010 population. PFS and OS were consistent with those seen in previous trials. POM + LoDEX treatment was well tolerated, and discontinuations due to AEs were infrequent, consistent with the well-known toxicity profile and the appropriate drug management. This study confirms that POM + LoDEX is effective in patients with advanced RRMM, including those who have experienced failure of prior Tx with BORT and/or LEN.

PURPOSE Axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for relapsed aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in part on the basis of durable remission rates of approximately 40% in a clinical trial population. Whether this efficacy, and the rates of toxicity, would be consistent in a postcommercial setting, with relaxed eligibility criteria and bridging therapy, is unknown. This study describes the efficacy and safety correlates and outcomes in this setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred twenty-two patients from 7 medical centers in the United States were treated with axi-cel and were included in a modified intent-to-treat (mITT) analysis. Seventy-six patients (62%) were ineligible for the ZUMA-1 trial. Response and toxicity rates, duration of response (DOR), survival, and covariates are described on the basis of the mITT population. Correlative studies on blood and tumor samples were performed to investigate potential biomarkers of response and resistance. RESULTS Median follow-up was 10.4 months. In the mITT population, the best overall and complete response (CR) rates were 70% and 50%, respectively. Median DOR and progression-free survival (PFS) were 11.0 and 4.5 months in all patients and were not reached (NR) in CR patients. Median overall survival (OS) was NR; 1-year OS was 67% (95% CI, 59% to 77%). Although response rates were similar in the ZUMA-1–eligible and ZUMA-1–ineligible groups (70% v 68%), there was a statistically significant improvement in CR rate (63% v 42%, P = .016), DOR (median, NR v 5.0 months; P = .014), PFS (median, NR v 3.3 months; P = .020), and OS (1-year OS, 89% v 54%; P < .001) in patients who were ZUMA-1 eligible. Rates of grade ≥ 3 cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicty were 16% and 35%, respectively. CONCLUSION Axi-cel yields similar rates of overall response and toxicity in commercial and trial settings, although CR rates and DOR were more favorable in patients eligible for ZUMA-1.

PurposeThis randomized, open-label, parallel-group, multicenter study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of bendamustine and chlorambucil in previously untreated patients with advanced (Binet stage B or C) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).Patients and MethodsPatients (≤ 75 years of age) were randomly assigned to receive bendamustine 100 mg/m2/d intravenously on days 1 to 2, or chlorambucil 0.8 mg/kg (Broca's normal weight) orally on days 1 and 15; treatment cycles were repeated every 4 weeks for a maximum of six cycles. The response to treatment was assessed according to National Cancer Institute Working Group criteria, and the final determination of response was made by a blinded independent review committee.ResultsA total of 319 patients were randomly assigned (162 bendamustine, 157 chlorambucil). Complete or partial responses were achieved in 110 (68%) of 162 bendamustine-treated and 48 (31%) of 157 chlorambucil-treated patients (P < .0001). More patients showed complete responses with bendamustine than with chlorambucil (31% v 2%). Median progression-free survival was 21.6 months with bendamustine and 8.3 months with chlorambucil (P < .0001). Bendamustine was also associated with an improvement in duration of remission, compared with chlorambucil (median, 21.8 v 8.0 months). Hematologic National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria grade 3 to 4 adverse events were more common with bendamustine than with chlorambucil (occurring in 40% v 19% of patients). Severe infections (grade 3 to 4) occurred in 8% of bendamustine-treated patients and 3% of chlorambucil-treated patients.ConclusionBendamustine offers significantly greater efficacy than chlorambucil, and a manageable toxicity profile, when used as first-line therapy in patients with advanced CLL.

In this patient population, regorafenib was first demonstrated to confer a survival benefit in the RESORCE trial, and subsequently it was approved as a second-line treatment for patients with advanced HCC. An open-label expanded access program (EAP) of regorafenib was implemented for compassionate use. We investigated the efficacy and safety of regorafenib based on our experience of the RESORCE trial and the EAP. Methods: Data from 5 patients from the RESORCE trial and 6 from the EAP were analyzed retrospectively. All patients had tolerated prior sorafenib and were progressing during sorafenib treatment. Results: The median progression-free survival was 9.2 months (95% CI 2.3-16.1). One patient achieved a partial response and 7 achieved stable disease. The objective response rate was 9.1%, and the disease control rate was 72.7%. No treatment-associated mortalities were observed. Grade 3 hypophosphatemia was observed in 2 patients, grade 2 anorexia was observed in 5 patients, and grade 3 neutropenia was observed in 2 patients. Grade 2 and grade 3 thrombocytopenia were observed in 2 and 3 patients, respectively. All treatment-related adverse events were improved by reduction or interruption of regorafenib. Five patients showed decreased serum albumin levels. Conclusion: Sorafenib and regorafenib sequential therapy presents a safe and effective treatment option for patients with advanced HCC.

AbstractThe METRIC study (NCT#0199733) explored a novel antibody–drug conjugate, glembatumumab vedotin (GV), targeting gpNMB that is overexpressed in ~40% of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and associated with poor prognosis. The study was a randomized, open-label, phase 2b study that evaluated progression-free survival (PFS) of GV compared with capecitabine in gpNMB-overexpressing TNBC. Patients who had previously received anthracycline and taxane-based therapy were randomized 2:1 to receive, GV (1.88 mg/kg IV q21 days) or capecitabine (2500 mg/m2 PO daily d1–14 q21 days). The primary endpoint was RECIST 1.1 PFS per independent, blinded central review. In all, 327 patients were randomized to GV (213 treated) or capecitabine (92 treated). Median PFS was 2.9 months for GV vs. 2.8 months for capecitabine. The most common grade ≥3 toxicities for GV were neutropenia, rash, and leukopenia, and for capecitabine were fatigue, diarrhea, and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia. The study did not meet the primary endpoint of improved PFS over capecitabine or demonstrate a relative risk/benefit improvement over capecitabine.
