6037 Background: Among HPV-positive Oropharyngeal Cancer (OPC) patients (pts), some has a less favorable prognosis (T4, N2/N3, smokers >10 pack-year [p/y]). We assume that neoadjuvant immunotherapy might improve their oncological outcomes, so we tested nivolumab (N) prior to ChemoRadiaTion (CRT). Methods: The study population is restricted to HPV positive OPC pts (both p16+ & HPV-DNA+) with advanced disease (T4, N2/N3) or a smoking history >10 p/y. Pts were randomly allocated 1:2 to receive either cisplatin-based CRT (n=20) or 2 cycles of N 240 mg followed by CRT (n=41). The Primary Endpoint (PE) is the rate of pts who can receive Full Treatment in Due Time (FTDT), according to these criteria: a) 2 N infusions on day 1 and on day 14-16 b) CRT started between days 28-37 after the 1st N infusion c) No RT break ≥1 week d) RT dose received >95% of theoretical dose e) Cisplatin dose received ≥200 mg/m² To achieve FTDT, all criteria are required in the Experimental Arm (EA) while only criteria c), d), and e) are required in the Control Arm (CA). In the EA, the trial was designed in 2 steps, with FTDT rate of 88% considered as inacceptable versus an alternative of 98%, a type I error of 0.10, and a type 2 error of 0.08. As per protocol, patient accrual was temporarily suspended after inclusion of 19 pts in the EA (1st step) and results were reviewed by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC). To resume pts’ inclusion, FTDT had to be achieved in 18 pts in the EA. Results: From 07/2019 to 09/2020, 30 pts were enrolled including 11 in the CA (demographics are summarized in table). 2 pts in the EA did not reach the PE. For the 1st patient, the cisplatin dose was <200 mg/m2 due to grade 1 hearing loss and grade 2 tinnitus (1st cycle: 100 mg/m2, 2nd cycle: 80 mg/m2, no 3rd cycle). For the 2nd patient, CRT began at D38 due to logistical issues (maintenance of RT devices). As this delay was unrelated to N or to patient's condition, the IDMC considered that the inclusions could resume for the 2nd step. 7 N-related Adverse Events (AE) were reported in 4 pts including 3 serious AE (ankylosing spondylitis flare-up, colitis, diabetic ketoacidosis). Conclusions: Neoadjuvant N before CRT seems feasible for the treatment of OPC pts. The trial has reopened to inclusion as recommended by the IDMC. Clinical trial information: NCT03838263.

Abstract BACKGROUND Vismodegib (V) suppresses sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling. We postulated that vismodegib together with chemotherapy may be more efficient than chemotherapy alone in patients (pts) relapsing of a SHH-activated medulloblastoma (MB). MATERIAL AND METHODS Adult pts with recurrent SHH-MB not previously exposed to temozolomide (T) were randomly assigned (2:1 ratio) to Arm A (V daily 150mg/d, po) + T (D1-5: 150 mg/m2 for cycle 1 and 200 mg/m2 thereafter; n=up to 25pts) or Am B (T alone; n=up to 13pts). Identification of SHH activation was performed centrally by IHC (GAB1, β-catenin, filamin A, and YAP1). NGS analyses were performed to identify the mutations responsible for SHH activation. Primary objectives were to assess the incidence of severe toxicities (safety run-in based on a 3 + 3 design) and the 6-month non-progression rate (NPR-6m) according to WHO criteria and based on central read tumor assessment (Phase II). A Minimax Simon’s two-stage design was used to detect NPR-6m of 55% (p0: 30%, type I error rate of 5%, power of 80%). At first stage, ≥ 3/9 pts without progression at 6m were required for the accrual of 16 additional pts in Arm A. A 3rd independent and parallel arm with V as single agent (Arm C, n= up to15pts) was added for pts previously treated by T. RESULTS 24 SHH-MB pts were enrolled (Arm A: 10, Arm B: 5 and Arm C: 9; median age: 37 y [21–55]). At the end of the safety run-in; no major safety concerns were reported. At the end of Stage I: no objective response were reported and 2 pts among 10 were free of progression at 6m among in Arm A. According to statistical rules, the study was definitively closed to enrolment. NGS analyses showed a PTCH1 inactivating mutation in 6 pts (n=4 in arm A; n= 2 in arm B); a SMO activating mutation in 4 pts (n= 3 in Arm A; n=1 in Arm B). For 1 pt in each arm, no tumor sample was available for analysis, for 1 pt in Arm A DNA quality was insufficient, and for 1 patient in each arm no mutations of SMO, PTCH1, SUFU or SHH were found. Out of the 4 pts in Arm A with an inactivating PTCH1 mutation, only 1 was progression free at 6m. PFS and OS data will be presented at the meeting. CONCLUSION The combination of vismodegib with monthly T failed to demonstrate superior activity as compared with T alone. Further studies are warranted to refine therapeutic indication for vismodegib

TPS4688 Background: Dovitinib is a novel targeted therapy, that has proven to inhibit, among other tyrosin kinases, the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR). Since this pathway has been proposed to play a major role in ACC, we aim to test the clinical efficacy of dovitinib in this tumor. Methods: An open label phase II trial has been designed in patients with advanced non-resectable ACC. The objective will be to obtain at least a 15% response rate according to RECIST criteria. Taking as a basis the two-stage Gehan model, 15 patients would need to be included in the first stage to demonstrate a treatment efficacy of at least 15%. Sample size calculation was done based on the following parameters, probability of Type I error α = 0.05, power of the test (1 - β) = 0.8. Main inclusion criteria are advanced non-resectable disease and no prior therapy (other than mitotane). Dovitinib scheduled dose matches currently employed standard in the drug development (500mg daily for 5 days then 2 days off) for 6 months. If clinical benefit is obtained longer treatment will be allowed for particular patients. Since this is an extremely unfrequent disease 7 institutions, members of the SOGUG (Spanish Oncology Genitourinary Group), will participate. The active support of a big collaborative group will guarantee candidate patients to be refereed to such institutions. Starting January 26th 2012 recruitment is scheduled to last around 12 months. A translational research, including whole exome analysis, will be performed in order to improve our scarce knowledge of ACC.

Abstract Background The FLAIR trial in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia has a randomised, controlled, open-label, confirmatory, platform design. FLAIR was successfully amended to include an emerging promising experimental therapy to expedite its assessment, greatly reducing the time to reach the primary outcome compared to running a separate trial and without compromising the validity of the research or the ability to recruit to the trial and report the outcomes. The methodological and practical issues are presented, describing how they were addressed to ensure the amendment was a success. Methods FLAIR was designed as a two-arm trial requiring 754 patients. In stage 2, two new arms were added: a new experimental arm and a second control arm to protect the trial in case of a change in practice. In stage 3, the original experimental arm was closed as its planned recruitment target was reached. In total, 1516 participants will be randomised to the trial. Results The changes to the protocol and randomisation to add and stop arms were made seamlessly without pausing recruitment. The statistical considerations to ensure the results for the original and new hypotheses are unbiased were approved following peer review by oversight committees, Cancer Research UK, ethical and regulatory committees and pharmaceutical partners. These included the use of concurrent comparators in case of any stage effect, appropriate control of the type I error rate and consideration of analysis methods across trial stages. The operational aspects of successfully implementing the amendments are described, including gaining approvals and additional funding, data management requirements and implementation at centres. Conclusions FLAIR is an exemplar of how an emerging experimental therapy can be assessed within an existing trial structure without compromising the conduct, reporting or validity of the trial. This strategy offered considerable resource savings and allowed the new experimental therapy to be assessed within a confirmatory trial in the UK years earlier than would have otherwise been possible. Despite the clear efficiencies, treatment arms are rarely added to ongoing trials in practice. This paper demonstrates how this strategy is acceptable, feasible and beneficial to patients and the wider research community. Trial registration ISRCTN Registry ISRCTN01844152.

430 Background: The combination of cisplatin-based chemotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors is extensively investigated in urothelial carcinoma. Using this combination in the neoadjuvant setting for patients (pts) with MIUC might improve pathological response rate (PaR: <ypT2N0) but carries the risk of increased perioperative morbidity. Methods: SAKK 06/17 is an open-label single arm phase II trial for pts with operable MIUC cT2-T4a cN0-1. Treatment consists of 4 cycles of neoadjuvant cis/gem q3w in combination with 4 cycles durva 1500mg q3w followed by resection. Durva is continued after surgery q4w for 10 cycles. Primary endpoint is event free survival (EFS) at 2 years. 58 pts are needed based on type I error of 10% and a power of 80% for H1 EFS at 2 years ≥ 65% compared to H0 EFS at 2 years ≤ 50%. We report the secondary endoints PaR, pathological complete remission (pCR: ypT0 N0), and safety on the full analysis set (FAS, received at least one dose of durva). Results: 61 pts were included between 7/18 and 9/19 at 12 sites. The FAS consists of 58 pts (79% male, median age 67.5 yrs) with bladder cancer (95%) or upper urinary tract/urethral cancer (5%). Clinical T2, T3, T4 stage were present at diagnosis in 69%, 21%, 10%, respectively, and 17% had cN1. 95% of pts received all 4 doses of neoadjuvant durva, 81% all 4 cycles of cis/gem and 17% switched to carboplatin. In total grade 3 and 4 adverse events (AE) during neoadjuvant treatment occurred in 48% and 27%, respectively. AEs related to durva were G3 in 7 pts (12%) and G4 in one patient (2%). Resection was performed in 53 pts (91%; 51 radical cystectomy, 2 nephroureterectomy), 4 pts refused surgery and one patient was irresectable due to a frozen pelvis. R0 resection was achieved in 52 pts (98%), one had R1. Postoperative complications included Clavien-Dindo III in 13 pts (24%) and IV in 5 pts (9%). PaR was found in 60% (95% CI 46.0%-73.5%) with 18 pts achieving pCR (34%; 95% CI 21.5%-48.3%) and 14 patients (26%) ypT1/ypTis. Conclusions: The first FAS results for neoadjuvant durvalumab in combination with cis/gem for operable MIUC confirm elevated pathological response rates and demonstrate acceptable safety. Postoperative morbidity is relevant but not exceeding the expected frequency or severity. Clinical trial information: NCT03406650.

4019 Background: Results from a ph1b trial evaluating gem/NP with CD40 agonistic monoclonal antibody APX005M ± nivo demonstrated promising clinical activity in pts with untreated mPDAC (O’Hara 2021). Herein, we report results from the follow-on, randomized (rand) ph2 trial evaluating gem/NP ± nivo ± APX005M. Methods: Pts with untreated mPDAC were rand to 1 of 3 open-label arms: gem/NP/nivo (A), gem/NP/APX005M (B), gem/NP/nivo/APX005M (C). All pts were treated with 1000 mg/m2 gem and 125 mg/m2 NP. Patients received 240 mg nivo in arms A and C and 0.3 mg/kg APX005M (RP2D) IV in arms B and C. Ph1b pts were included in ph2 analyses. 1° endpoint: 1-year OS rate of each arm, compared to a 35% historical OS rate for gem/NP (Von Hoff 2013). Key 2° endpoints: ORR, DCR, DOR, PFS and safety. Tumor and blood were collected for biomarker analysis. Planned enrollment of 35 pts/arm provided 81% power for testing the alternative of 58% OS rate vs 35%, using a 1-sided, 1-sample Z test with 5% type I error. Trial was not powered for cross-arm comparison. Results: 93 pts were rand in ph2 (N = 34, 30, 29 to A, B, C); when ph1b pts included, a total of 105 pts (34, 36, 35) were analyzed for efficacy and 108 pts (36, 37, 35) for safety. Min follow-up was 14 months (mos). Baseline characteristics were balanced across arms, inclusive of tumor burden, presence of liver metastases and stage at initial diagnosis (stage 1-3 vs 4). 1-year OS rate was 57% (1-sided p = 0.007 vs 35% historical rate, 95% lower CI bound = 41%) for A, 51% (p = 0.029, 95% bound = 36%) for B and 41% (p = 0.236, 95% bound = 27%) for C. Median OS and secondary endpoints are listed in Table. TRAE rates were similar across arms and to ph1b. 8 (7%) pts experienced an AE leading to tx discontinuation (6, 1, 1 in A, B, C), 40 (37%) pts experienced a serious TRAE (14, 15, 11 in A, B, C) and 2 pts died due to TRAEs; 1 each in B (acute hepatic failure) and C (intracranial hemorrhage). Conclusions: In this ongoing, seamless ph1b/2 trial of gem/NP ± nivo ± APX005M in pts with mPDAC, antitumor activity was observed in all arms. 1° endpoint of 1-year OS > 35% was met when combining gem/NP with either nivo or APX005M; however, not the combination. Safety was manageable; consistent with ph1b. Detailed multiomic immune and tumor biomarker analyses are underway to elucidate mechanisms of action and inform pt subsets that benefit most from these combinations. Clinical trial information: NCT03214250. [Table: see text]

ObjectiveTo determine the efficacy of the thrombopoietin receptor agonist romiplostim for the prevention of temozolomide-induced thrombocytopenia in newly diagnosed glioblastoma.MethodsIn the PLATUM phase II open-label, multicenter, single-arm trial, patients diagnosed with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia during chemoradiotherapy received weekly subcutaneous romiplostim injections. PLATUM aimed at demonstrating that the percentage of thrombocytopenic patients treated with romiplostim able to complete 6 cycles of maintenance temozolomide chemotherapy exceeded 10% (p0 = 0.10; pA = 0.35). Using type I error equal to 0.05% and 95% power, 31 patients had to be recruited. According to a Fleming 2-step design with a preplanned interim analysis after recruitment of 20 patients (step 1), the trial was terminated early for success.ResultsTwenty patients were enrolled in step 1. Median age was 61 years (range 33–73). Twelve patients received 6 temozolomide cycles, corresponding to a success rate of 60% (95% confidence interval 36%–81%). Four patients discontinued temozolomide because they did not respond to romiplostim, 2 for progression, and 2 for adverse events unrelated to romiplostim.ConclusionThe thrombopoietin receptor agonist romiplostim improves exposure to chemotherapy in patients with glioblastoma experiencing temozolomide-induced thrombocytopenia.Clinicaltrials.gov identifierNCT02227576.Classification of evidenceThis study provides Class IV evidence that for patients with glioblastoma and thrombocytopenia, romiplostim is effective for the secondary prophylaxis of temozolomide-induced thrombocytopenia.

Purpose Two previous single-arm trials have drawn conflicting conclusions regarding the activity of pazopanib in urothelial cancers after failure of platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients and Methods This randomized (1:1) open-label phase II trial compared the efficacy of pazopanib 800 mg orally with paclitaxel (80 mg/m2 days 1, 8, and 15 every 28 days) in the second-line setting. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Results Between August 2012 and October 2014, 131 patients, out of 140 planned, were randomly assigned. The study was terminated early on the recommendation of the independent data monitoring committee because of futility. Final analysis after the preplanned number of deaths (n = 110) occurred after a median follow-up of 18 months. One hundred fifteen deaths had occurred at the final data extract presented here. Median OS was 8.0 months for paclitaxel (80% CI, 6.9 to 9.7 months) and 4.7 months for pazopanib (80% CI, 4.2 to 6.4 months). The hazard ratio (HR) adjusted for baseline stratification factors was 1.28 (80% CI, 0.99 to 1.67; one-sided P = .89). Median progression-free survival was 4.1 months for paclitaxel (80% CI, 3.0 to 5.6 months) and 3.1 months for pazopanib (80% CI, 2.7 to 4.6 months; HR, 1.09; 80% CI, 0.85 to 1.40; one-sided P = .67). Discontinuations for toxicity occurred in 7.8% and 23.1% for paclitaxel and pazopanib, respectively. Conclusion Pazopanib did not have greater efficacy than paclitaxel in the second-line treatment of urothelial cancers. There was a trend toward superior OS for paclitaxel.

TPS1134 Background: Multiple lines of evidence implicate the IL-6/JAK2/Stat3 signaling pathway in metastatic progression and therapeutic resistance in breast cancer (Marotta et al, JCI2011; Britschgi et al, Cancer Cell 2012). Ruxolitinib, an oral inhibitor of JAK1 and JAK2, is approved for the treatment of intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis, but has not been extensively tested in solid tumors. Methods: Pts with triple-negative breast cancer or inflammatory breast cancer of any subtype are eligible for prescreening of archival tumor tissue for pStat3 expression by immunohistochemistry. Pts with high (Cohort A; T-score >5) or low (Cohort B; T-score 3-4) pStat3 expression, measurable disease, adequate organ function, ECOG PS 0-2, and progression through > 1 line of prior therapy may proceed to receive ruxolitinib, 25 mg orally twice daily. Staging studies are performed at baseline (BL) and every 8 weeks (wk). Baseline tumor biopsy is required for pts who have accessible disease, with an optional biopsy at progression. Blood for IL-6, CRP, and circulating tumor cells are collected at BL, Wk 4, and off-treatment. Patient reported outcomes including EORTC QLQ C-30 and the M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory are collected at BL, Wk 4, Wk 8, and off-treatment. Statistical Considerations: The primary endpoint of this open-label phase 2 trial is objective response by RECIST 1.1. The study is designed to distinguish between a response rate of 5% versus 20% in each cohort, separately. If > 2 responses out of 21 pts are observed in the first stage of Cohort A, a further 20 pts will be entered on that cohort; the agent will be deemed worthy of further study if > 5 of the total 41 pts achieve an objective response (power 0.90, type I error 0.046). Cohort B will open to accrual if Cohort A passes the first stage. If > 2 responses out of 21 pts are observed in the first stage of Cohort B, a further 20 patients will be entered into Cohort B, and the agent will be deemed worthy of further study if > 5 of the total 41 pts achieve an objective response (power 0.90, type I error 0.046). Study Status: A total of 85 patients have consented for prescreening of tumor tissue. As of January 3, 2013, 5 of a planned 41 patients with high pStat3 IHC scores have been treated with ruxolitinib, and accrual is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT01562873.

LBA1^ Background: Enzalutamide, an orally administered androgen receptor inhibitor, improved overall survival (OS) in men with mCRPC who had received prior docetaxel therapy (Scher et al, NEJM 367:13, 2012). This study examined whether enzalutamide could prolong OS and radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic chemotherapy-naive men with mCRPC. Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multinational phase 3 study (NCT01212991), chemotherapy-naive patients with mCRPC were stratified by site and randomized 1:1 to enzalutamide 160 mg/day or placebo. OS and rPFS were co-primary endpoints and analyzed for the intent-to-treat population. Planned sample size was 1,680 with 765 deaths to achieve 80% power to detect a target OS hazard ratio (HR) of 0.815 with a type I error rate of 0.049 and a single interim analysis at 516 (67%) deaths. The co-primary endpoint of rPFS had sufficient power to detect a target HR of 0.57 and a type I error rate of 0.001 with a minimum of 410 events. Results: A total of 1,717 men were randomized (1,715 treated) between September 2010 and September 2012. The interim analysis at 539 deaths showed a statistically significant benefit of enzalutamide over placebo with a 30% reduction in risk of death (OS: HR 0.70; 95% CI: 0.59-0.83; P< 0.0001) and an 81% reduction in risk of radiographic progression or death (rPFS: HR 0.19; 95% CI: 0.15-0.23; P< 0.0001). At the time of the analysis, 28% of enzalutamide patients and 35% of placebo patients had died. Estimated median OS was 32.4 months (mo) (95% CI, 31.5–upper limit not yet reached [NYR]) in the enzalutamide arm vs 30.2 mo (95% CI, 28–upper limit NYR) in the placebo arm. Median rPFS was NYR (95% CI: 13.8–upper limit NYR) in the enzalutamide arm vs 3.9 mo (95% CI: 3.7-5.4) in the placebo arm. Seizure events were reported in two patients. The Independent Data Monitoring Committee considered the benefit-risk ratio to favor enzalutamide and recommended stopping the study and crossing placebo patients to enzalutamide. Secondary endpoints and safety analysis will be presented. Conclusions: Treatment with enzalutamide significantly improves OS and rPFS in men with chemotherapy-naive mCRPC. Clinical trial information: NCT01212991.
