9011 Background: Lorlatinib, a third-generation ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor, significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall/intracranial responses vs crizotinib in patients (pts) with previously untreated ALK-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the ongoing randomized Phase 3 CROWN study (NCT03052608). To identify whether additional molecular biomarker analysis correlated with efficacy, we evaluated early ctDNA dynamics compared with clinical outcomes. Methods: Plasma samples were prospectively collected at screening (SC), week 4 (cycle 2, day 1 [C2D1]), week 24 (C7D1), and end of treatment for ctDNA analysis. ctDNA was analyzed using Guardant360CDx (Guardant Health, Inc., Redwood City, CA, USA). Mean variant allele fraction (VAF) of ALK alterations (fusions and/or mutations) and overall detected alterations at each time point and longitudinal mean change (dVAF) as (VAFC2D1) – (VAFSC) were calculated; dVAF <0 indicated decreased ctDNA at week 4. Objective tumor response and PFS were evaluated according to dVAF. These analyses were repeated vs ctDNA results at week 24. Additional correlation analyses between depth of molecular response and/or ctDNA clearance and clinical outcomes are ongoing. Results: Paired samples were available at SC and week 4 from 232 of 255 pts included in the ctDNA analysis: 118/130 (90.8%) in the lorlatinib arm and 114/125 (91.2%) in the crizotinib arm. ALK alterations were detected in 122/232 (52.6%) pts at SC (62/118 [52.5%] from the lorlatinib arm) but only 19/232 (8.2%) at week 4 (8/118 [6.8%] from the lorlatinib arm). Mean VAF of ALK alterations at week 4 was significantly decreased compared with SC in both treatment arms (lorlatinib -1.54, crizotinib -1.25; both P<0.0001; P=0.4239 between arms). In the lorlatinib arm, mean VAF at week 4 was significantly decreased compared with SC in pts with a complete or partial response (dVAF -1.53; n=47; P<0.0001), or stable disease (dVAF -1.37; n=12; P=0.0304). Similar results were observed in the crizotinib arm. In pts with dVAF <0 for ALK alterations, mean percent change from screening in tumor size was -40.8% with lorlatinib (n=59) and -38.7% with crizotinib (n=58). Only 2 pts had dVAF ≥0, both from the crizotinib arm. Median PFS for pts with dVAF <0 for ALK alterations was not reached in the lorlatinib arm (n=62), and was 7.4 months (95% CI, 7.2–9.3) in the crizotinib arm (n=58). Similar response and PFS data were observed in the analysis of dVAF for ALK alterations at week 24. Conclusions: Early ctDNA dynamics may predict lorlatinib efficacy in pts with previously untreated ALK-positive NSCLC. The magnitude of reduction in ctDNA at 4 weeks may be associated with better responses and potentially longer PFS. These findings further support the utility of dynamic ctDNA monitoring in ALK-positive NSCLC. Reference: Shaw AT, et al. N Engl J Med. 2020;383:2018-2029. Clinical trial information: NCT03052608.

9019 Background: Lorlatinib is a selective, potent, brain-penetrant, 3rd generation (gen) ALK/ROS1 TKI approved for pts with advanced ALK+ NSCLC previously treated with a 2nd gen ALK TKI. We recently showed that ALK mutation tumor genotyping after failure of a 2nd gen ALK TKI may identify pts more likely to respond to lorlatinib.1 To identify other molecular response correlates, we evaluated if early ctDNA dynamics predict clinical outcome on lorlatinib. Methods: In pts enrolled on the ongoing ph 2 study (NCT01970865), plasma samples were prospectively collected for ctDNA analysis at baseline (BL), cycle 3 day 1 (C3D1, or 6 weeks) and end of treatment. Plasma DNA was analyzed using Guardant360. Change in variant allele fraction (dVAF)2 of ALK alterations (fusions and/or mutations) was calculated as (mean VAFC3D1) – (mean VAFBL); dVAF < 0 indicated decreased ctDNA at C3D1. BOR, PFS and OS were evaluated according to dVAF. Results: Of 121 paired BL/C3D1 samples collected from 158 ALK+ pts previously treated with one or more 2nd gen ALK TKIs, 57 (47%) harbored a detectable ALK alteration at BL. At C3D1, mean VAF of ALK fusions and/or mutations was significantly decreased compared to BL (-1.07, p = 0.0014). Mean tumor volume was reduced by 26% in pts with dVAF < 0 (n = 40), but only by 12% in pts with dVAF ≥0 (n = 13) (p = 0.049). Mean dVAF at C3D1 was significantly decreased compared to BL for pts with CR/PR, while there was no significant difference with SD or PD/IND; mean dVAF -1.84, -0.74, and +0.35 in pts with CR/PR, SD, or PD/IND, respectively (p = 0.0011, 0.1444 and 0.3383). Median PFS was 6.6 months (mo) in pts with dVAF < 0 (n = 44) and 2.6 mo in pts with dVAF ≥0 (n = 13) (HR = 2.6, 95% CI: 1.2, 5.8). Median OS was 18.0 mo in pts with dVAF < 0 (n = 34) and 8.6 mo in pts with dVAF ≥0 (n = 13) (HR 2.0, 95% CI, HR 0.9–4.6). Conclusions: Early ctDNA dynamics may predict lorlatinib efficacy in ALK+ NSCLC, with decreased ctDNA at 6 wks associated with better response and longer PFS. Further studies are needed to validate these findings and to determine whether early intervention based on dynamic ctDNA monitoring may improve outcome. References: 1. Shaw, et al.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> This study compared clinical outcomes of 2nd- and 3rd-line regorafenib in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In this retrospective cohort study, 48 patients were treated with regorafenib for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Thirty-five and 13 patients were initiated on 2nd- and 3rd-line therapy, respectively. We assessed the responses to and safety of the therapy. <b><i>Results:</i></b> There were no statistically significant differences in clinical characteristics at the start of 2nd- or 3rd-line regorafenib therapy. The overall response rate of 2nd- and 3rd-line regorafenib was 20 and 8%, respectively. The disease control rate was 57 and 54%, respectively. Median overall survival (mOS) from the start of 2nd-line regorafenib was 17.5 months. mOS from the start of 3rd-line regorafenib was not obtained. Median progression-free survival of 2nd- and 3rd-line regorafenib was 4.9 and 2.3 months, respectively. mOS from 1st-line therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitor plus sorafenib-regorafenib-lenvatinib was 29.5 months; that with lenvatinib-sorafenib-regorafenib was not obtained. Patients on 3rd-line therapy tended to have better Child-Pugh scores and tumor factors at the start of 1st-line therapy than other patients. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Patients on 2nd- and 3rd-line regorafenib showed favorable responses. Good Child-Pugh scores and tumor factors may be associated with a better response rate and OS.

Aim: To examine the effectiveness of eribulin mesylate for metastatic breast cancer post cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKi) 4/6 therapy. Materials & methods: US community oncologists reviewed charts of patients who had received eriublin from 3 February 2015 to 31 December 2017 after prior CDKi 4/6 therapy and detailed their clinical/treatment history, clinical outcomes (lesion measurements, progression, death) and toxicity. Results: Four patient cohorts were created according to eribulin line of therapy: second line, third line, per US label and fourth line with objective response rates/clinical benefit rates of 42.2%/58.7%, 26.1%/42.3%, 26.7%/54.1% and 17.9%/46.4%, respectively. Median progression-free survival/6-month progression-free survival (79.5% of all patients censored) by cohort was: 9.7 months/77.3%, 10.3 months/71.3%, not reached/70.4% and 4.0 months/0.0%, respectively. Overall occurrence of neutropenia = 23.5%, febrile neutropenia = 1.3%, peripheral neuropathy = 10.1% and diarrhea = 11.1%. Conclusion: Clinical outcome and adverse event rates were similar to those in clinical trials and other observational studies. Longer follow-up is required to confirm these findings.

7004 Background: Previous data with dasatinib (SPRYCEL®), a short-acting oral multitargeted kinase inhibitor of BCR-ABL and SRC family kinases, have shown the safety and efficacy of the 70 mg BID dose in CP-CML patients. Surprisingly, phase-I data (NEJM 2006;354:2531) demonstrated complete hematologic (CHR) and major cytogenetic responses (MCyR) among CP-CML patients at total daily doses (TDD) of 100 mg and 140 mg in both the BID and QD schedule, despite the achievement of only transient inhibition of BCR-ABL by dasatinib when administered once daily. Methods: Patients with CP-CML resistant or intolerant to imatinib were randomized to one of 4 dasatinib arms: 1) 100 mg QD; 2) 50 mg BID; 3) 140 mg QD; 4) 70 mg BID. In this randomized, prospective, open-label trial, the primary objective compared the CyR rate among the BID and QD arms. Secondary objectives included comparison of the CyR rate between TTDs of 100 and 140 mg and the safety among the 4 arms. Results: 662 patients were randomized from July 2005 to March 2006 and received treatment. Response rates, with a median duration of treatment of 8 months, are shown below. Duration of CyR and progression-free survival were similar across all 4 arms. There was significantly less grade (Gr) 3–4 neutropenia (P=0.035), thrombocytopenia (P=0.001), anemia (P=0.032), and pleural effusions (P=0.028) in the 100-mg QD arm compared to the other 3 arms combined. No differences were seen across the 4 arms in the rates of other adverse events. There were fewer interruptions and reductions and the least number of patients discontinuing treatment for drug-related toxicity in the 100-mg QD arm. Conclusions: Dasatinib 100 mg QD offers the most favorable benefit-risk ratio in CP-CML. This trial provides the first evidence that intermittent kinase inhibition can achieve deep clinical remissions and is associated with an improved safety profile. One-year follow-up on all subjects, molecular response rates, and BCR-ABL mutation data will be presented. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

3055 Background: Acquired ALK resistance mutations (mut.) are the main mechanism of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance (30-50%). While next-generation TKIs are more active on mut. than earlier TKIs, compound ALK resistance are associated with failure to next-generation TKIs. We evaluated the clinical utility of detecting ALK resistance mutations in blood to predict TKI efficacy. Methods: ALK positive advanced NSCLC pts were prospectively enrolled between Oct. 2015 and Aug. 2018 in 8 French institutions. Prospective samples were collected; ctDNA was analyzed by amplicon-based Inivata InVisionFirst-Lung. Results: A total of 101 pts with advanced ALK positive NSCLC were enrolled and 328 samples collected. In samples collected at TKI failure (N=74), we detected 9 single and 7 complex (≥2) ALK resistance mut. (22%), associated with EML4-ALK variant 3 (38%) vs. variant 2 (13%) vs. variant 1 (none); 30% had other somatic mut. (mainly TP53 and KRAS, PI3KCA, MET, etc.). No mutations were detected in 48% of samples (ctDNA neg). ALK mut. were more frequent after 2nd/3rd generation TKI (43% post-lorlatinib (7), 29% post-2nd gen. (31), 11% post-crizotinib (36)). ALKG1202R was the most common, as single (n=3) or complex mut. (n=4). The median overall survival (mOS) was 100.4 mo. (95% CI 41.9-158.9) and the median progression free-survival (mPFS) to subsequent line was 2.8 mo. (0.7-4.9). Patients with ctDNA neg had mOS of 105 mo. (39.3-172.1) vs. 58.5 mo. (33.1-84.0) if ≥1 ALK mut. vs. 44.1 mo. (20.0-68.2) if others ( P=0.001). Pts with the complex ALK mut. had worse OS compared to singles ALK mut. (mOS 26.9 mo. vs. 58.5 mo., P=0.001); ALK complex mut. were associated with poor efficacy to subsequent therapy (PFS <3 mo. in 57%; no cases with PFS >6 mo.) vs. single mut., with longer PFS (PFS >6 mo. in 56%). Detectable ALKG1202R mut. were associated with shorter median OS (58.3 mo.; 7.9-109.1) vs. overall population; 86% of cases developed rapid PD (PFS <3mo.) to subsequent therapy with only one durable response to lorlatinib (PFS >6mo.). Conclusions: The absence of ctDNA mutations at TKI failure was associated with prolonged OS, whereas complex ALK mutations at TKI failure may predict resistance to subsequent therapy. Larger and specifically designed studies should be performed to validate these findings.

418 Background: Telomeres (T) consist of thousands of copies of TTAGGG tandem repeats capping the ends of the chromosome. T along with enzyme telomerase provides protection against any threats to the genome that might arise as a consequence of “end replication problem.” During aberrant cell proliferations the normal check points of cell cycle is compromised leading to unrestricted cell division with extremely short T and subsequent genomic instability. Studies have linked short TL with premalignant and malignant stages of CRC carcinogenesis. However, the relation of TL to the clinical outcomes has not been conclusively determined. In this study we evaluated the association of TL with clinical outcomes in a cohort of 75 CRC patients. Methods: Tumor DNA was isolated from formalin fixed paraffin embedded specimens. TL was measured by using a qRT-PCR method that provided the relative T copy number, compared to reference copy number of the housekeeping gene, β-Globin, which resulted in a T/S ratio. One T/S ratio unit is equivalent to a mean TL of 4,270 base pairs (BP). Results: From 75 patients, 122 tissue samples were identified (66 primary, 52 metastases, 29 matched pairs). Age at diagnosis (>/< median) had a statistically significant difference in TL (mean BP 4700 vs. 4374; p=0.05) with shorter TL in the advanced age. Females had longer TL compared to men (mean BP 4722 vs. 3669 respectively; p=0.04). Shorter TL was associated with shorter progression free survival (PFS) for patients treated with cetuximab/panitumumab (3963 vs. 5295 p=0.04). There was a trend towards increased overall survival (>/< median) with longer TL (4934 vs. 4117; p=0.08). We failed to find a difference in the TL between primary and metastatic sites in the 29 patients with paired samples. Conclusions: TL is a potential biomarker predictive of clinical outcome (PFS) for patients treated with cetuximab/panitumumab. Tumor TL reduces with advancing age and appears to be sex dependent. Further studies to validate TL’s predictive role in patient outcomes are underway.

9595 Background: Lorlatinib is a 3rd-generation ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) developed to penetrate the central nervous system (CNS) and overcome resistance to 2nd-generation (2nd-gen) ALK TKIs. In a phase II study, lorlatinib demonstrated significant intracranial (IC) activity after failure of 2nd-gen TKIs. As treatment discontinuation for extracranial (EC) progression can confound assessment of durability of IC response, we performed a phase II study (NCT02927340) to selectively evaluate lorlatinib activity in ALK+ pts with CNS-only disease. Methods: Between 11/2016 and 1/2019, 22 pts with IC progression on an ALK TKI with no other sites of measurable disease were enrolled at 2 institutions. Pts received lorlatinib at a starting dose of 100 mg QD. The primary endpoint was the IC disease control rate (DCR) at 12 weeks per modified RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints were IC objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), and progression-free survival (PFS). Results: Of the 22 pts enrolled, 21 (95%) had progressed on a 2nd-gen ALK TKI and 14 (64%) had previously received CNS radiation (median 21.1 months between radiation and lorlatinib). Median number of prior ALK TKIs was 2 (range 1-4). As of the data cutoff of 12/15/19, median follow-up was 14 months. At 12 weeks, the IC-DCR was 95%, including 8 pts with stable disease. Best IC ORR was 59% with 6 complete and 7 partial responses. Nine (41%) pts relapsed on study, including 3 IC-only, 5 EC-only, and 1 combined relapse. Four pts continued treatment beyond EC-only progression. Although median IC DOR and PFS were not estimable due to few progression events, the IC progression-free rate at 12 months was 81% (95% CI: 53%-94%). Twelve pts have discontinued study treatment due to progression (n = 6), edema (n = 1), pulmonary hypertension (n = 1), or transition to commercial lorlatinib (n = 4). Conclusions: Lorlatinib induces durable intracranial responses in pts with CNS-only progression on 2nd-gen ALK TKIs, suggesting that CNS-specific relapses are primarily driven by ALK-dependent mechanisms. Further studies are needed to characterize the molecular basis of sensitivity to lorlatinib in this unique subgroup of pts with ALK+ lung cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT02927340 .

7 Background: We previously reported that cediranib, a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, combined with olaparib, a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor, prolonged radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) compared with olaparib alone in patients with mCRPC. Herein, we present updated clinical data in the overall population and in subgroups by homologous recombination (HR) gene status. Methods: Men with a minimum of one prior line of systemic therapy for mCRPC were randomized 1:1 to receive olaparib 200 mg by mouth twice daily with cediranib 30 mg by mouth daily (C+O) or olaparib 300 mg by mouth twice daily (O). Patients were required to undergo a baseline metastasis biopsy. Next generation sequencing of HR genes was performed on available samples using BROCA-HR assay. HR deficiency (HRD) was defined by presence of homozygous deletions or deleterious mutations in HR genes including BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, and others. The primary endpoint was rPFS and secondary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Results: Eighty-four patients were included in the analysis of whom 26 patients (31.0%) had HRD mCRPC. The most common HR gene alterations included BRCA2 (n=17, 20%), CDK12 (n=9, 11%), and ATM (n=7, 8%). Consistent with our prior report, in the overall cohort, C+O compared to O resulted in a significant improvement in rPFS (Table). The benefit in rPFS was most pronounced in patients with HRD mCRPC; however, there was no difference between arms in HR proficient (HRP) cancers. Independent of arm allocation, rPFS and OS were numerically longer in patients with HRD mCRPC compared to HRP mCRPC (rPFS: 8.8 versus 4.3 months, p=0.14; OS: 18.6 vs. 12.3 months, p=0.24). Conclusions: C+O improved rPFS in patients with mCPRC compared with O alone. The biomarker analyses revealed that the rPFS benefit of C+O over O is likely driven by patients with HRD mCRPC. Our data warrant validation and support further investigation of the combination of C+O in patients with HRD mCRPC. Clinical trial information: NCT02893917. [Table: see text]

9042 Background: Brigatinib is a next-generation ALK inhibitor with demonstrated activity against ALK mutations. We report primary analysis results with brigatinib in Japanese patients with ALK-positive NSCLC who have not previously been treated with an ALK TKI in the phase 2 J-ALTA study (NCT03410108). Methods: J-ALTA, a multi-cohort study, included a TKI-naive expansion cohort. Patients in the TKI-naive cohort received brigatinib 180 mg qd with 7-day lead-in at 90 mg. Primary endpoint was 12-month progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by an independent-review committee (IRC). Secondary endpoints included confirmed objective response rate (ORR; IRC- and investigator-assessed); IRC-assessed PFS and duration of response (DoR); overall survival (OS); intracranial PFS (iPFS by IRC); and safety. Results: A total of 104 patients were enrolled in the whole study; of these, 32 patients had TKI-naive NSCLC (median age, 60.5 y; 94% had adenocarcinoma; 22% had baseline brain metastases; 25% received prior chemotherapy). As of September 29, 2020, median follow-up was 14.2 months and 27 patients remained on treatment. IRC-assessed 12-month PFS was 93% (90% CI, 79–98). Confirmed ORR was 97% (90% CI, 84–100) by IRC, with 2 complete responses and 29 partial responses. Median DoR as assessed by the IRC was not mature; median PFS, iPFS, and OS were not reached. In the TKI-naive cohort, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported in all 32 patients (most common: increased creatine phosphokinase, 81%; hypertension, 59%; diarrhea, 47%). Grade ≥3 TEAEs were reported in 91% of patients in this cohort (most common: increased creatinine phosphokinase, 44%; hypertension, 34%; increased lipase, 19%) and 75% of all patients. Three cases (9.4%) of interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis were reported in the TKI-naive cohort; all were grade 1 and occurred after day 15 of brigatinib treatment. Dose discontinuations/interruptions/reductions due to AEs in the TKI-naive cohort were 0%/94%/66%, respectively, and in the total study population were 5%/72%/41%. AE frequency and profile were similar in the TKI-naive and overall cohorts. Conclusions: In the J-ALTA TKI-naive cohort, brigatinib demonstrated substantial efficacy and manageable safety in the Japanese patient population. Brigatinib remains one of the treatment options in Japanese patients. Clinical trial information: NCT03410108.

1048 Background: Approximately 25% of HER2 overexpressing breast tumors express a truncated form of the receptor (p95HER2) that lacks the extracellular domain but retains kinase activity. p95HER2-positive tumors are associated with a worse prognosis and resistant to trastuzumab therapy. In preclinical models, lapatinib (L), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of EGFR and HER2, is active in p95HER2 expressing tumors. The aim of this analysis was to test the hypothesis that benefit from L-based therapy is independent of p95HER2 expression in 2 clinical trials in patients (pts) with HER2-positive tumors treated with either L monotherapy (Study EGF20009 ) or L in combination with capecitabine (Study EGF100151). Methods: Pre-treatment tumor tissue from both trials (N=201) was analyzed for p95HER2 expression by immunofluorescence as previously described (Scaltriti M. et al, JNCI 2007). Expression of p95HER2 was correlated with clinical benefit rate (CBR: complete response [CR] + partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD] ≥ 24 weeks) and progression-free survival (PFS) using logistic regression and Cox-proportional hazard models. Results: 68/105 and an initial 72/96 tissue samples were evaluable for p95HER2 expression from studies EGF20009 and EGF100151, respectively. The Table summarizes the results from the L treated pts. The CBR and PFS in L treated pts were not significantly different between the p95HER2 subgroups. Expanded data for p95HER2 expression in additional EGF100151 tumor samples will be presented. Conclusions: L as a monotherapy or in combination with capecitabine has similar response activity in pts with p95HER2-positive and p95HER2-negative HER2-positive breast tumors.
