4578 Background: Nivolumab in combination with cabozantinib (N+C) has demonstrated significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and overall survival (OS), compared with sunitinib as a first-line (1L) treatment for aRCC in the phase 3 CheckMate (CM) 9ER trial. As there are no head-to-head trials comparing N+C with pembrolizumab in combination with axitinib (P+A), this study compared the efficacy of N+C with P+A as 1L treatment in aRCC. Methods: An MAIC was conducted using individual patient data on N+C (N = 323) from the CM 9ER trial (median follow-up: 23.5 months) and published data on P+A (N = 432) from the KEYNOTE (KN)-426 trialof P+A (median follow-up: 30.6 months). Individual patients within the CM 9ER trial population were reweighted to match the key patient characteristics published in KN-426 trial, including age, gender, previous nephrectomy, International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium risk score, and sites of metastasis. After weighting, hazards ratios (HR) of PFS, duration of response (DoR), and OS comparing N+C vs. P+A were estimated using weighted Cox proportional hazards models, and ORR was compared using a weighted Wald test. All comparisons were conducted using the corresponding sunitinib arms as an anchor. Results: After weighting, patient characteristics in the CM 9ER trial were comparable to those in the KN-426 trial. In the weighted population, N+C had a median PFS of 19.3 months (95% CI: 15.2, 22.4) compared to a median PFS of 15.7 months (95% CI: 13.7, 20.6) for P+A. Using sunitinib as an anchor arm, N+C was associated with a 30% reduction in risk of progression or death compared to P+A, (HR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.53, 0.93; P = 0.015; table). In addition, N+C was associated with numerically, although not statistically, higher improvement in ORR vs sunitinib (difference: 8.4%, 95% CI: -1.7%, 18.4%; P = 0.105) and improved DoR (HR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.47, 1.31; P = 0.359). Similar OS outcomes were observed for N+C and P+A (HR: 0.99; 95% CI: 0.67, 1.44; P = 0.940). Conclusions: After adjusting for cross-trial differences, N+C had a more favorable efficacy profile compared to P+A, including statistically significant PFS benefits, numerically improved ORR and DoR, and similar OS.[Table: see text]

487 Background: HD IL-2 is associated with an objective response rate of 16-20% with durability of response in select mRCC patients. HD IL-2 is also associated with significant toxicity including vascular leak syndrome and inflammatory side effects. Few predictive markers can identify patients likely to respond to HD IL-2. Methods: Patients treated with HD IL-2 at the University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute from 2000 to 2012 with clear cell mRCC were evaluated. Grade of toxicities during HD IL-2 treatment were collected based on provider documentation in the electronic health record. Rates of adverse events (AEs) and overall survival stratified grade 3 AEs were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival estimates and Cox proportional hazards models. All AEs were graded per common terminology criteria version 4. Grade 3 rigors were defined as severe rigors requiring opioids. Results: A total of 85 patients were included with a median age of 56 years (range 32-76 years) and 79% (n = 67) were male. Patients belonged to the following MSKCC risk categories: 11 (13%) good, 70 (82%) intermediate, and 4 (5%) poor risk. The mean total dose received was 1097 MIU (range: 160 – 3048 MIU). The prevalence of grade 3 AEs is presented in the table. Median survival of patients with ≥grade 3 rigors after HD IL-2 administration was 1501 days vs 533 days for those without (p = 0.0005, HR 2.54). Presence of rigors was also associated with a significant improvement in progression free survival, time to next treatment and response rates. No other AEs predicted response to HD IL-2. Conclusions: Presence of grade 3 rigors predicts improved survival during HD IL-2 therapy. Notably, grade 3 fever was rarely observed because of our institutional protocol of routinely using scheduled antipyretics to diminish fevers. [Table: see text]

Indirect Comparisons

7559 Background: Given a lack of WM randomized trials directly comparing zanubrutinib with chemoimmunotherapy, this study aimed to indirectly compare zanubrutinib with bendamustine-rituximab (BR) and with dexamethasone-rituximab-cyclophosphamide (DRC) separately through matching-adjusted indirect comparisons (MAIC). Methods: MAIC were conducted to re-weight the individual data of 102 WM patients (83 relapsed/refractory [R/R] and 19 treatment-naïve [TN]) treated with zanubrutinib in the ASPEN trial (NCT03053440) so that the weighted average baseline characteristics of patients treated with zanubrutinib matched those of 71 R/R patients treated with BR, and 72 TN patients treated with DRC separately. Matching variables for MAIC with BR included age, prior lines of therapy, IgM concentration, International Prognostic Scoring System for WM score, and extramedullary disease (EMD); and for MAIC with DRC included age, platelet count, hemoglobin concentration, and EMD. Kaplan-Meier curves of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of comparators were digitized to re-create patient-level data. Comparisons of survival and adverse event incidence between treatments were conducted using Cox proportional hazards models and modified Poisson models. Results: Compared to DRC, zanubrutinib was associated with longer PFS (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.39 [95% confidence interval 0.18-0.82] and 0.35 [0.14-0.86] pre- and post-matching, respectively) and longer OS (HR: 0.56 [0.20-1.53] and 0.47 [0.14-1.62] pre- and post-matching, respectively), and insignificantly higher incidences of neutropenia (risk ratio [RR]: 1.63 [0.71-3.77] and 1.47 [0.58-3.74] pre- and post-matching, respectively). Compared to BR, zanubrutinib was associated with longer PFS (HR: 0.32 [0.15-0.69] and 0.37 [0.15-0.91] pre- and post-matching, respectively), longer OS (HR: 0.31 [0.12, 0.80] and 0.29 [0.10-0.85] pre- and post-matching, respectively), lower incidences of neutropenia (RR: 0.45 [0.26-0.78] and 0.50 [0.27-0.91] pre- and post-matching, respectively) and lower incidences of pneumonia (RR: 0.18 [0.02-1.55] and 0.26 [0.03-2.28] pre- and post-matching, respectively). Conclusions: Zanubrutinib demonstrated longer PFS than DRC, and longer PFS and OS than BR in WM, before and after matching adjustment based on patient characteristics. [Table: see text]

Abstract The CD52 and CD20 antigens are ubiquitously expressed on CLL B cells and are important therapeutic targets for the monoclonal antibodies alemtuzumab and rituximab, respectively. Circulating soluble CD52 (sCD52) and CD20 (sCD20) have been shown to have prognostic value in CLL, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and Hodgkin’s disease (Blood101:2507, 2003; Br J Haem123:850, 2003). The pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacy of these mAbs may be adversely affected by circulating sCD52 and sCD20. Using the previously described ELISAs, we measured levels of sCD52 and sCD20 at various time points in blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) of chemotherapy-naïve patients treated with FCR. Treatment consisted of fludarabine 25 mg/m2 d1-3, cyclophosphamide 250mg/m2 d1-3, and rituximab 375–500mg/m2 d1 as previously described (JCO23:4079, 2005). Courses were repeated every 4 weeks for a total of 6 courses. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were fit to evaluate the correlations of sCD52 and sCD20 and baseline characteristics with progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). A total of 291 patients were included, pretreatment characteristics [median (range)] were as follows: age=57yrs (17–86); WBC=76.9K/μL(2.1–619.5); ALC=66.7K/μL(0.8–558); HGB=12.4g/dL(6.1–18.7); PLT=155K/μL(8–406); ß2M= 3.7mg/L(1.6–16.4); LDH=550 IU/L(103–1828). Patients with Rai stage 0=8; I–II=186; and III–IV=97. The median follow-up time for all patients is 56 months. Of the 278 responding patients, 88 (31.7%) have progressed; the median time to progression has not been reached. To date, the median survival time for the 291 patients has not been reached; 57 (19.6%) patients have died. Pretreatment characteristics analyzed included age, gender, PS, WBC, ALC, HGB, PLT, ß2M, and RAI stage; post-treatment factors included PCR for IgVH in BM, and sCD52 and sCD20 (BM and PB) levels at response. Univariate analyses identified the following predictors for PFS (p < .05): age, HGB, ß2M, PCR for IgVH at response, and PB sCD20 at response. Independent predictors for PFS identified in multivariate analysis included PCR for IgVH and PB sCD20 level at response. For OS, significant (p < .05) factors in univariate analyses included: age, HGB, ß2M, PCR for IgVH at response, and BM sCD52 at response. Independent predictors for OS identified in multivariate analysis included age and BM sCD52 level at response. Residual sCD52 at response may reflect residual disease, therefore correlating with shorter OS. We are currently evaluating sCD52 and sCD20 as prognostic factors for clinical outcomes in previously treated patients that received FCR as salvage therapy.

e20675 Background: Brigatinib (BRG), ceritinib (CER), and alectinib (ALEC) are second-generation ALK inhibitors developed for crizotinib (CRZ)-resistant ALK+ NSCLC. No randomized trial has directly compared the efficacy of these treatments. The goal of this analysis was to use an MAIC to indirectly compare progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for BRG vs CER and BRG vs ALEC in CRZ-resistant ALK+ NSCLC patients (pts). Methods: This analysis used pt-level data from arm B (180 mg qd with a 7-day lead-in at 90 mg, n=110) of the ALTA trial for BRG and published summary data from ASCEND-1/ASCEND-2 and NP28673 trials for CER and ALEC, respectively. PFS and OS curves from published data were digitized to generate virtual pt-level data for estimation of event rates. Pts in ALTA were assigned weights so that their weighted mean baseline characteristics matched baseline characteristics in each of ASCEND-1, ASCEND-2, and NP28673. Relative treatment effects pre- and post-matching were estimated using Cox proportional hazards models. Results: Prior to matching, baseline imbalances were noted in ECOG PS 2, prior chemotherapy, Asian race, smoking status, and best prior response to CRZ among trials. Weighting reduced effective sample sizes (ESSs) for ALTA pts in the matched comparisons. Relative efficacy results were robust and did not appreciably change after adjusting for the prognostic factors (Table 1). Conclusions: Both before and after matching, BRG had significantly longer PFS compared to CER and ALEC, significantly longer OS than CER, and a trend toward longer OS than ALEC. [Table: see text]

4537 Background: KEYNOTE-061 (NCT02370498) was a randomized, open-label, phase 3 study of pembrolizumab vs paclitaxel in pts with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma with tumor progression after first-line therapy (N = 592). In this analysis, we evaluated tTMB using FoundationOne CDx (F1CDx; Foundation Medicine) in pts with gastric or GEJ cancer in KEYNOTE-061. Methods: In pts with evaluable F1CDx tTMB data (n = 204), we analyzed the association of tTMB with confirmed objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) within each treatment arm using one-sided (pembrolizumab) and two-sided (paclitaxel) Wald test nominal P for logistic regression (ORR) and Cox proportional hazards regression (PFS; OS) adjusted for ECOG performance status; significance was prespecified at 0.05. The clinical utility of tTMB was assessed using the prespecified cutoff of 10 mut/Mb for F1CDx. Clinical data cutoff: Oct 26, 2017. Results: tTMB was positively associated with ORR ( P < 0.001; AUROC, 0.68), PFS ( P < 0.001), and OS ( P = 0.003) with pembrolizumab but not paclitaxel (ORR, P = 0.047; AUROC, 0.30; PFS, P = 0.605; OS, P = 0.084). Pt outcomes by tTMB cutoff are reported in the Table; prevalence of TMB ≥10 mut/Mb was 17%. In pts with microsatellite stable disease-only, HRs (95% CI) by treatment arm for OS by F1CDx cutoff were 0.40 (0.14-1.17) for tTMB ≥10 mut/Mb (n = 21) vs 0.97 (0.70-1.34) for tTMB <10 mut/Mb (n = 168). Conclusions: In this exploratory analysis from KEYNOTE-061, tTMB as determined by F1CDx demonstrated a positive association with clinical outcomes with pembrolizumab, but not paclitaxel, in pts with GC; these findings are consistent with those reported with whole exome sequencing. Pembrolizumab demonstrated an OS benefit vs paclitaxel in the subgroup with tTMB ≥10 mut/Mb, which remained when pts with microsatellite instability-high disease were excluded.

Favorable Prognostic Factor

<b>Purpose:</b> The development of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in patients undergoing immunotherapy has been reported to be a favorable prognostic factor in several studies. We aimed to examine the correlation between irAEs and prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and further reveal the patient characteristics associated with response to immunotherapy among treatment responders who developed irAEs. <b>Methods:</b> We retrospectively enrolled 80 patients with NSCLC who received immunotherapy at Shinshu University Hospital between February 2016 and February 2020. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared between patients with and those without irAEs. We examined the prognostic factors associated with PFS and OS using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional-hazards models. We further analyzed the patients who developed irAEs by classifying them into responders and non-responders. <b>Results:</b> Twenty-five patients developed irAEs. The median PFS and OS of the patients with irAEs were significantly longer than those of the patients without irAEs (6.8 vs. 1.9 months, <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001, and 37.8 vs. 8.1 months, <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001, respectively). Multivariate analysis associated with PFS and OS indicated that the development of irAEs was an independent favorable prognostic factor. Among the patients developing irAEs, the responder group had a significantly higher incidence of multiple irAEs than the non-responder group (41.7 vs. 0.0%, <i>p</i> = 0.009). <b>Conclusion:</b> Our findings revealed that the development of irAEs was associated with clinical benefits in NSCLC patients who received immunotherapy. In particular, patients with multiple irAEs might have good prognoses.

255 Background: In a phase IV trial (NCT01525550), median progression-free survival (PFS) was 13.2 mo in sunitinib-treated patients (pts) with well-differentiated panNETs. Objective response rate (ORR) was 24.5% and median overall survival (OS) was 37.8 mo. Exploratory analyses evaluated potential associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in genes involved in angiogenesis, protein transport or inflammatory response and clinical outcomes. Methods: Blood samples were genotyped using TaqMan assays for 12 SNPs previously associated with panNET risk, prognosis or drug effect. Associations between SNP and PFS or OS were assessed by comparing genotypes within treatment-naïve (TN), previously treated (PT) and combined groups, and within a genotype between treatment groups, using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards models. Fisher’s exact test was used for association between ORR and genotype. PFS and ORR were investigator-assessed. P values displayed are unadjusted and Bonferroni method was used for multiplicity adjustment. Results: 56 pts were genotyped: 25 TN and 31 PT. There were no significant associations between genotype and PFS or OS but there was a trend toward shorter PFS in pts with VEGFR1 rs9554320 C/A versus C/C (hazard ratio [HR] 1.78; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.83–3.82; p = 0.117) and VEGFR1 rs9582036 A/C versus A/A (HR 1.88; 95% CI 0.9–3.93; p = 0.102). The genotypes G/G of VEGFA rs2010963 (p = 0.041) , G/G of VEGFA rs833068 (p = 0.041) and A/C of VEGFR1 rs9582036 (p = 0.046) showed a trend toward a higher ORR in the PT versus TN group. Genotype T/T of VEGFR2 rs7692791 (p = 0.103) showed a trend toward to a lower ORR in the TN versus PT group. Higher ORR was associated with IL1B rs16944 G/A versus G/G (46.4% vs 4.5%; p = 0.001) in the combined group. Conclusions: Potential associations between ORR and VEGFA rs2010963 and rs833068, VEGFR1 rs9582036 and VEGFR2 rs7692791 were observed. IL1B rs16944 was significantly associated with ORR, consistent with the role of IL1B in panNET etiology and development. Most correlations were not significant after adjustment for multiplicity. Clinical trial information: NCT01525550.

e16142 Background: The REFLECT trial established LEN as a first-line treatment option for HCC. However, decreased LEN exposure is common due to adverse events leading to dose reductions and treatment discontinuations. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether starting dose or dose-intensity of LEN affects survival. To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine dosing of LEN and survival in HCC patients treated outside of Asia. Methods: From July 2018 to December 2019, HCC patients treated with first-line LEN from 10 different Canadian cancer centers were included. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR) and objective response rate (ORR) were retrospectively analyzed and compared across different mean dose-intensities (> 66.7% vs <=66.7%) and starting dose groups (Full vs reduced). Survival outcomes were assessed with Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards models. DCR and ORR were determined radiographically according to the treating physician´s assessment in clinical notes and not RECIST 1.1 or mRECIST. Results: A total of 173 patients were included. Median age was 67 years, 77% were men and 23% East Asian. The most frequent causes of liver disease were hepatitis C (38%) and B (20%). 56% of patients received localized treatment prior to LEN. Of those, 24% had TACE, 6% TARE and 8% had liver transplant. Before starting LEN 31% of patients were ECOG 0 and 57% were ECOG 1. Most patients were Child-Pugh A (81%) and BCLC stage C (73%). Main portal vein invasion was present in 15% of the patients. Median follow-up was 4.5 months. LEN was started at full dose in 54% of patients and 60% had a mean dose intensity greater than 66.7%. ORR, PFS and OS results and their comparison between the different starting dose and dose-intensities are shown in the table. In a multivariate model that adjusted for age, gender, stage, ECOG, Child-Pugh, BCLC, cirrhosis, liver etiology disease (hepatitis B, C and non-viral), presence of tumor thrombus, prior transplant and localized treatment, dose intensity (>66.7 vs <=66.7% [HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.42-1.18; p=0.18]) was not a predictor of survival. Conclusions: In HCC patients starting LEN at a reduced dose does not appear to compromise survival. LEN dose-intensity of > 66.7% was associated with improved survival, but not after controlling for potential confounders.[Table: see text]

3133 Background: The primary objective of EPCCT (phase I and non-randomised phase II trials) is to determine the safety and tolerability of new therapeutic agents. Response rates (RR) in these trials have typically been reported at around 10-15%. Increasingly RR and survival outcomes are now investigated in EPCCT as primary or secondary objectives. Methods: Retrospective data analysis was performed on patients (pts) enrolled onto an EPCCT between January 2018 and December 2019 at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, UK. Data on demographics, prior systemic treatment, sites of disease, performance status, comorbidities, types of therapy, RR, progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were collected. Statistical analyses were performed with univariable and multivariable models. Objective response rate (ORR) was defined as the proportion of pts with complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). Duration of response (DOR) was from initial response to progressive disease (PD). Disease control rate (DCR) was defined as CR+PR+ stable disease (SD). Results: A total of 247 pts were treated across 46 EPCCTs. Median age 61 years; 57% female. Sixty-six percent of pts had ≥2 lines of treatment and the majority were ECOG PS 0/1 (98%). Eighty-one percent of pts had ≥2 sites of metastatic disease, and 13 major tumour types were included. Monotherapy trials (159 pts) were predominantly targeted therapies (TT; 60%), or immunotherapies (IO; 20%). Combination therapy trials (88 pts) were TT-based (68%) or IO-based (32%). Data for RR analyses was available for 231 pts. ORR across all trials was 15% (CR 2%) and DCR was 63%. The median DOR was 8.3 months (mos) (95% CI: 7.0 – 9.7) with 28% of pts responding for >6 mos and 7% for >12 mos. ORR in pooled IO treated pts was 27%, DCR was 65% with sustained response >6 mos seen in 37% of these pts. ORR in pooled TT treated pts was 9.4%, DCR was 60% and sustained response > 6 mos seen in 25% of pts. ORR for IO v TT treated pts was significantly different, p=0.007 (pearson chi square), but no significant difference was seen for DCR. Median PFS for all patients was 5.0 mos (95% CI: 4.1 – 6.0) and OS was 10.4 mos (95% CI: 8.4 – 13.0). OS for those with a PR is not reached (HR for PR v PD, 0.006 (95% CI: 0.002 – 0.18). Pts with SD appear to have significantly better OS compared to those with PD (14.6 v 4.2 mos, HR 0.2 (95% CI: 0.1 – 0.3). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis for OS was significant for male gender (HR 1.9, p=0.002), presence of liver metastasis (HR 2.0, p=0.001), low Hb (HR 0.8, p=0.03) and log (LDH) (HR 1.9, p<0.001). Conclusions: Two-thirds of pts enrolled on EPCCTs benefitted in terms of DCR with significant OS improvement in those with PR and SD. Higher ORR were seen in pts receiving IO-based treatments however DCR was similar in IO and TT pts. Gender, presence of liver metastases, Hb count and LDH level contributed significantly to survival differences.

Abstract This retrospective study was undertaken to investigate the association of relative dose intensity (RDI) with the outcome of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients with advanced stage disease receiving ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine) and escalated BEACOPP regimen (bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, prednisone). A total of 114 HL patients treated between 2004 and 2013 were enrolled for evaluation. RDI calculations were based on a Hryniuk's model. The association of variables with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) was analysed using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. The median age of patients was 39 years, majority of patients were males and had stage IV disease. Fifty-four patients received ABVD and 60 received BEACOPP chemotherapy with 24 and 4 deaths, respectively. Patients in BEACOPP group were significantly younger with lower Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) in comparison with ABVD group, making the comparison of groups impossible. In ABVD group, RDI was not significantly associated with OS (p=0.590) or PFS (p=0.354) in a multivariate model where age was controlled. The low number of events prevented the analysis in the BEACOPP group. Patients' age was strongly associated with both OS and PFS: all statistically significant predictors for OS and PFS from univariate analyses (chemotherapy regimen, CCI, RDI) lost its effect in multivariate analyses where age was controlled. Based on our observations, we can conclude that RDI is not associated with the OS or PFS after the age is controlled, neither in all patients combined nor in individual chemotherapy groups.
