9032 Background: Selpercatinib, a first-in-class highly selective, potent, CNS-active RET kinase inhibitor, is approved in multiple countries for treatment of RET fusion+ lung or thyroid cancers. Selpercatinib demonstrated durable antitumor activity in previously treated pts with RET fusion+ NSCLC in an ongoing Phase 1/2 trial, LIBRETTO-001 (Besse et al., ASCO 2021). Methods: Pts with RET fusion+ NSCLC enrolled in the global, multicenter, LIBRETTO-001 trial (NCT03157128; 16 countries, 89 sites). Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival, duration of response, and safety. This post-hoc intrapatient analysis was based on a 30 March 2020 data cutoff date. Historical physician-reported best overall response (BOR) from last systemic therapy received prior to enrollment was compared with selpercatinib BOR by independent review committee per RECIST v1.1, with each patient serving as his/her own control. Results: In efficacy-evaluable pts (N = 218) who previously received platinum-based chemotherapy (chemo), median pt age was 61 years, the majority with ECOG of 0/1 (37%/61%), with a median of 2 (range: 1-15) prior systemic therapies. Overall, 57% of patients responded to selpercatinib while 16% responded to the immediate prior therapy. ORR improvements with selpercatinib were observed regardless of prior therapy: chemotherapy + immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) (57% vs 14%), single-agent ICI (48% vs 3%), or chemotherapy (58% vs 15%). A total of 108 patients (49%) did not respond to immediate prior therapy but responded to selpercatinib. Fewer patients had progressive disease as their BOR with selpercatinib (2%) compared to the immediate prior therapy (28%). The median duration of therapy for selpercatinib was notably extended compared with that of the immediate prior therapy (11.8 vs. 3.4 months, respectively). Conclusions: In pts with RET fusion+ NSCLC treated on LIBRETTO-001, systemic therapies administered prior to enrollment achieved less meaningful clinical benefit than selpercatinib. Selpercatinib demonstrated consistent efficacy regardless of the type of prior therapy. Clinical trial information: NCT03157128.

6074 Background: Selpercatinib is a first-in-class, CNS active, highly selective, and potent RET kinase inhibitor which has demonstrated durable antitumor activity in patients (pts) with RET altered thyroid cancer and is approved in multiple countries for the treatment of RET fusion+ lung or thyroid cancers. As response rates to cancer therapy usually decline on subsequent lines of therapy, the efficacy of selpercatinib was examined in the context of the last prior therapy received before trial enrollment. Methods: Pts with RET mutant medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) previously treated with multikinase inhibitors (cabozantinib and/or vandetanib) were enrolled in the global LIBRETTO-001 trial (NCT03157128). This post-hoc exploratory intrapatient analysis, based on March 30, 2020 data cutoff date, was performed to compare the retrospective physician-reported objective response rate (ORR) from the last systemic therapy prior to enrollment, as reported in pts case reports, to ORR by independent review committee per RECIST 1.1 with selpercatinib treatment, with each patient serving as his/her own control. Results: Efficacy-evaluable pts, 64% male, 90% white with a median age of 58 years, received prior therapy for MTC (n = 143). Pts had a median of 2 (range 1-8) prior systemic regimens. The ORR on selpercatinib (69%) was markedly higher than for the last prior therapy (10%) received before enrollment. ORR improvements with selpercatinib were observed regardless of prior therapy: cabozantinib (66% vs 14%) or vandetanib (71% vs 12%). Fewer pts had progressive disease as their best overall response with selpercatinib (2/143; 1.4%) compared to last prior therapy (33/143; 23.1%). Notably selpercatinib achieved 62% ORR in pts that did not respond to their previous line of therapy prior to enrolment. This shift from non-responder to responder on selpercatinib therapy was consistent regardless of prior cabozantinib or vandetanib treatment, where pts achieved 57% and 61% ORR respectively when subsequently treated with selpercatinib. In contrast, only 3% of patients did not respond to selpercatinib after a previous response to the immediate prior therapy. Similarly, 5% and 2% of patients were non-responders on selpercatinib after a prior response with cabozantinib and vandetanib therapy respectively. Conclusions: Prior to selpercatinib, response with previous multikinase therapy was rare. By contrast, selpercatinib demonstrated robust efficacy regardless of response to or specific prior therapy in pts with RET mutant MTC. Clinical trial information: NCT03157128.

e16161 Background: Fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) is an exceedingly rare liver cancer affecting children and young adults without underlying liver disease. Complete surgical resection is the primary treatment option, but recurrence is common. There are currently no established systemic therapies. We have treated patients in both the neoadjuvant and adjuvant setting with three novel combination therapies: 5-fluorouracil/interferon/nivolumab (“Triple Therapy” or TT), gemcitabine/oxaliplatin/lenvatinib (GOL), and nivolumab/lenvatinib/quercetin (NLQ). The purpose of this study was to evaluate objective responses and tolerability of three multi-agent systemic therapies in the treatment of FLC. Methods: Data from all patients with FLC who received TT, GOL, or NLQ between May 2018 and February 2021 were reviewed. Patients who received a minimum of six cycles of systemic therapy with follow up scans at least two months after initiation were assessed based on objective response, survival, and toxicity. Results: Twenty-nine patients with FLC who were treated with novel multi-agent systemic therapy were evaluable based on the above criteria. Median age at start of treatment was 20 (7-52; 16F, 12M, 1 non-disclosed). Twenty-three patients received one combination therapy (13 TT, 8 GOL, 2 NLQ), five received two different lines (3 TT/NLQ, 2 TT/GOL), and one patient received all three novel combinations. Between our 29 patients, they had relapsed 36 total times, and 11 had already tried 2+ systemic therapies. Best RECIST 1.1 objective response (clinical remission + partial response) and tumor control rate (clinical remission + partial response + stable disease) were 58%/95%, 55%/100%, and 33%/83% for TT, GOL, and NLQ respectively. The median longest Progression Free Survival (PFS) on any novel multi-agent regimen was 9 months (2-29; 9.5 for TT, 7 for GOL, 6.5 for NLQ), with 18 patients still receiving the therapy extending their PFS. Of those with previous relapses, 56% have a PFS longer than their previous longest remission and 69% have a PFS longer than their previous shortest time to relapse. Half of patients with previous relapses are still receiving the treatment responsible for their longest PFS. Fever, chills, and nausea were the most common adverse effects experienced throughout all three regimens. Seven patients experienced 1+ grade 3 adverse event. There were no toxic deaths or organ failure. Two patients died as a result of disease; their longest PFS (1 on GOL, 1 on TT) were nine and 10 months. Conclusions: FLC is a devastating cancer with patients often relapsing even after successful surgical remission. There is a strong need for effective and tolerable systemic therapies for those with unresectable, relapsed, progressive, or metastatic disease. We have had promising results in treating FLC and prolonging survival with minimal toxicities using novel multi-agent regimens.

BackgroundThere is no effective systemic therapy for metastatic adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) after failure of platinum-based chemotherapy. The efficacies of single-agent oral multikinase inhibitors (MKIs) or salvage immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) have been very limited. It is unknown whether combining CPIs, such as pembrolizumab (PEM), with other therapies, such as MKIs, could yield higher response rates in ACC, yet this combination has shown promise in other cancers. Herein, we describe the first case series using PEM in combination with the MKI lenvatinib (LEN) in patients with progressive, metastatic ACC.MethodsA retrospective case series describing the use of LEN/PEM as salvage therapy in patients with progressive/metastatic ACC.ResultsEight patients were treated with the LEN/PEM combination therapy. Half were female, and the median age at time of diagnosis was 38 years (range 21–49). Three (37.5%) patients had hormonally active ACC. The median number of prior lines of systemic therapy was 4 (range 2–9). Six (75%) patients had had disease progression on prior CPIs and five (62.5%) patients had progressed on prior MKI therapy. The median progression-free survival was 5.5 months (95% CI 1.8–not reached) and median duration of therapy was 8.5 months (range 2–22). Two (25%) patients had a partial response, one (12.5%) patient had stable disease, and five (62.5%) patients had progressive disease. None of the eight patients stopped therapy because of adverse events.ConclusionsIn our small cohort of heavily pretreated patients with ACC, the combination of LEN/PEM was associated with objective responses in a subset of patients without significant toxicity. This combination should be formally investigated in phase II clinical trial with robust correlative studies to identify predictors for response.

7543 Background: Enzastaurin, an oral serine/threonine kinase inhibitor, suppresses signaling through PKC and the PI3K/AKT pathway, induces tumor cell apoptosis, reduces proliferation, and suppresses tumor-induced angiogenesis. Over-expression and activity of PKC and PI3K/AKT are associated with poor prognosis and treatment resistance in NSCLC. This multicenter phase II trial of enzastaurin as second- and third-line treatment of NSCLC determined the rate of progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months (mos). Secondary objectives included safety and the rate of overall survival (OS) at 12 mos. Methods: Eligibility included metastatic (stage IV and wet IIIB) NSCLC and prior platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients (pts) received 500 mg of oral enzastaurin, once daily, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurred. All pts were eligible for 2nd or 3rd line treatment. Results: In the 54 pts enrolled [54% M, 46% F; median age: 63 (range: 43–82); 22.2% stage III, 77.8% stage IV, ECOG PS=2], adenocarcinoma was the most frequent diagnosis (67%). Prior therapies included radiotherapy (74%) and EGFR inhibitors (28%). At the final analysis, the median PFS was 1.9 mos (95% CI: 1.7–1.9), and the PFS rate at 6 mos was 14% (95% CI: 4.4%–23.6%). The median OS was 9.9 mos (95% CI: 6.5–14.6). The OS rate at 12 mos was 46.3% (95% CI: 32.1%–60.5%). Nineteen pts (35%) had stable disease (SD); none had a complete or partial response. Ten (19%) pts were on-study for =6 cycles, 3 of whom continued for >10 months. The most common toxicity, fatigue (grade =2, n=15), occurred within 1 week of enrollment and was not reported in pts with SD. Grade =3 toxicities observed were ataxia (n=1), fatigue (n=2), thrombo-embolism (n=1), and anemia (n=1). Two pts discontinued due to fatigue and dizziness. Five pts died on-study and 4 within 30 days of discontinuation due to PD. Post-study chemotherapy (n=28) included bevacizumab, erlotinib, pemetrexed, gemcitabine, cisplatinum and paclitaxel. Conclusion: Although no objective tumor responses occurred, 14% of the pts were progression-free at 6 months. Based on encouraging survival and tolerability data, further evaluation of enzastaurin as a single agent or in combination, is warranted in NSCLC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

5040 Background: Sunitinib malate, an oral, multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor of multiple receptors, showed significant efficacy in 168 pts with cytokine refractory mRCC, with a 42% objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS) of 8.2 months at 50 mg/day (4 weeks on treatment, 2 weeks off) per investigator assessment (Motzer et al. JAMA 2006;295:2516–24). This study was designed to determine the efficacy and safety of single-agent sunitinib when administered in a continuous 37.5 mg/day regimen. Methods: Pts with histologically proven mRCC, refractory to a cytokine-based regimen, were enrolled in this open-label, multicenter, phase II study. Eligibility criteria included measurable disease, ECOG PS 0/1, and adequate organ function. Pts were randomized to receive sunitinib in the morning (AM) or in the evening (PM) at a dose of 37.5 mg/day, with individual doses subsequently titrated based on tolerability. The primary endpoint was RECIST-defined ORR. Secondary endpoints included PFS, adverse events (AEs) and quality of life measures. Results: 107 pts were randomized to AM (54) or PM (53) dosing and have been on study a median of 6.8 months (0.4 to 13.3). As of October 2006, 55 pts have discontinued due to progression (37 pts [35%]), AEs (17 pts [16%]), and 1 consent withdrawal (1%); 47 pts (44%) were dose reduced to 25 mg/day due to grade 2/3 AEs, the most frequent being: asthenia (12%), hand-foot syndrome (8%), and diarrhea (5%). The most commonly reported (=5% of pts) grade 3/4 AEs were hypertension (10%), asthenia (9%), hand-foot syndrome (9%), anorexia (8%), and diarrhea (6%). 31 pts (29%) were maintained on continuous sunitinib at 37.5 mg/day, and 29 (27%) were escalated to 50 mg/day. There were no significant differences between pts who received AM or PM dosing. Quality of life results will be presented. The best response by RECIST per investigator assessment shows an ORR of 19% with 43 pts (40%) with =6 months of stable disease. The median PFS is 8.3 months. Conclusions: Sunitinib 37.5 mg/day continuous dosing has a manageable safety profile and demonstrates promising clinical benefit as second-line therapy in mRCC. This regimen provides alternative sunitinib dosing that can be explored in combination studies. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

4051 Background: Afatinib, an irreversible pan-ErbB kinase inhibitor showed anti-tumor activity against esophageal cancer in phase I trial. In this multicenter, open-label, single arm phase II study, we aimed to evaluate the activity and safety of afatinib in R/M ESCC. Methods: Patients (pts) who had ECOG PS 0-2 and had progressed on platinum-based chemotherapy for R/M ESCC were enrolled. Pts were treated with afatinib 40mg/day until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient’s refusal. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1. The estimated sample size was 49, using a two-stage minimax design to evaluate incremental response rate from 5 to 15%. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), and safety profile. Additionally, we try to identify biomarker to predict efficacy of afatinib with target capture sequencing and gene expression profile as exploratory endpoints. Results: In a total of 49 enrolled pts (median age 60; range 44 -84), ORR and DCR were 14.3 % and 73.3%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 6.6 months, median PFS and OS was 3.4 months (95% CI 2.2-4.6) and 6.6 months (95% CI 5.2-8.0). Median treatment duration and duration of response were 2.8 months (range, 0.4-15.3) and 7.1 months (range, 2.5-13.9), respectively. Dose reduction and interruption occurred in 19 (38.8%) and 15 (30.6 %) pts. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) occurred in 33 pts (67.3%) with most common TRAEs being diarrhea (n=22, 44.9%) and acneiform rash (n=12, 24.5%). G3-4 TRAEs were rare, occurring in 7 pts (14.3 %). Conclusions: Afatinib demonstrated modest efficacy with manageable toxicity in platinum-resistant R/M ESCC patients. Given the modest response rate, identification of predictive biomarkers is essential for further clinical investigation of afatinib in R/M ESCC. Those biomarkers are being analyzed and will be presented in the conference (NCT02353936). Clinical trial information: NCT02353936. [Table: see text]

TPS497 Background: Standard first-line treatment for patients (pts) with la/mUC is cisplatin-based chemotherapy or carboplatin-based chemotherapy for pts unfit for cisplatin. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) are standard treatment options for pts who progressed during or after platinum-based chemotherapy. While some pts with la/mUC achieve durable responses with CPIs, less than 25% of pts respond. Following failure of a CPI, no therapies are approved. Enfortumab vedotin is a fully humanized monoclonal antibody that delivers the microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E to tumors expressing Nectin-4, which is expressed in 97% of mUC pt samples (Petrylak et al. ASCO, 2017). In a phase 1 study (EV-101; NCT02091999), single-agent EV 1.25 mg/kg was generally well tolerated and demonstrated a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 42% across the overall population of pts with mUC; in pts with prior CPI therapy or liver metastasis at baseline confirmed ORRs of 42% and 36% were observed. A pivotal phase 2 study of EV in la/mUC pts with prior CPI treatment (EV-201; NCT03219333) is ongoing. Methods: EV-301 is a global, multicenter, open-label phase 3 trial (NCT03474107) enrolling adult pts with la/mUC and an ECOG performance status score ≤1, who have received a prior platinum-containing chemotherapy, and have experienced disease progression during or following treatment with a CPI. Approximately 550 pts will be randomized (1:1) to receive EV (1.25 mg/kg) administered by IV infusion over approximately 30 minutes on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle ( Arm A), or investigator choice of IV docetaxel, paclitaxel, or vinflunine (EU only) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle ( Arm B). Treatment with the study drug will continue until radiological disease progression, intolerance, or other discontinuation criterion is met. Radiological assessments of tumor response status will be performed at baseline and every 8 weeks. The primary endpoint is overall survival; secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, duration of response, and overall response rate, as well as assessment of safety/tolerability, and quality-of-life parameters. Clinical trial information: NCT02091999.

9065 Background: Cediranib, a pan-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, suppresses expression of BRCA1, BRCA2, and RAD51 and increases sensitivity of tumors to poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in vitro. Olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, demonstrated clinical efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors carrying a germline BRCA mutation. We therefore tested the anti-tumor activity of cediranib and olaparib combination in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors. Here, we report the data from the SCLC cohort. Methods: This multi-institutional, two-stage, phase 2 study enrolled pts with metastatic SCLC previously treated with a minimum of one prior line of platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced setting. Patients were treated with cediranib 30mg po daily plus olaparib 200mg po BID until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST v1.1. Baseline tumor biopsies were obtained for biomarker analyses. Results: Baseline characteristics of the 25 pts enrolled are summarized below. The overall ORR rate was 28% (95% CI: 0.104,0.456). Median duration of response was 3.8 months (mos). Six of 8 pts had an objective response lasting longer than 3 mos up to 10.3 months. Disease control rate (# of pts with CR, PR or SD / # evaluable pts) was 88% (95% CI: 0.75,1.01). Median progression free survival was 4.1 mos (95% CI: 2.3, 6.2). Median OS was 5.5 mos (95% CI: 3.4, NA). Grade 3/4 adverse events (G3/4 AEs), irrespective of attribution, occurred in 14 of 25 (56%). G3/4 AEs occurring in > 10% of pts were hypertension (21%), fatigue (17%) and weight loss (13%). Conclusions: The cediranib/olaparib combination resulted in promising clinical activity with ORR of 28% in biomarker-unselected pts with platinum-pretreated SCLC. The regimen required prompt initiation of antihypertensives, but AEs were overall manageable. Analyses of mutation status in homologous recombination DNA repair genes are going and will be correlated with clinical activity. Clinical trial information: NCT02498613. [Table: see text]

TPS9633 Background: RET gene fusions have been identified as oncogenic drivers in multiple tumor types, including 1-2% of NSCLC, but no selective RET inhibitors are approved for use. The investigational RET inhibitor, pralsetinib, potently and selectively targets oncogenic RET alterations, including those that confer resistance to multikinase inhibitors. In the registration-enabling phase 1/2 study (ARROW; NCT03037385), pts with RET-fusion+ NSCLC treated with 400 mg once daily (QD) of pralsetinib (N = 80) after platinum-based chemotherapy achieved an overall response rate (ORR) of 61% (95% CI 50, 72; 2 responses pending confirmation) per independent central review. In addition, a promising ORR of 73% (all centrally confirmed responses) was attained in the treatment naïve cohort (N = 26). Most treatment-related adverse events were grade 1-2 across the entire safety population treated at 400 mg QD (N = 354). AcceleRET Lung, an international, open-label, randomized, phase 3 study, will evaluate the efficacy and safety of pralsetinib versus standard of care (SOC) for first-line treatment of advanced/metastatic RET fusion+ NSCLC (NCT04222972). Methods: Approximately 250 pts with metastatic RET-fusion+ NSCLC will be randomized 1:1 to oral pralsetinib (400 mg QD) or SOC (non-squamous histology: platinum/pemetrexed ± pembrolizumab followed by maintenance pemetrexed ± pembrolizumab; squamous histology: platinum/gemcitabine). Stratification factors include intended use of pembrolizumab, history of brain metastases, and ECOG PS. Key eligibility criteria include no prior systemic treatment for metastatic disease; RET-fusion+ tumor by local or central assessment; no additional actionable oncogenic drivers; no prior selective RET inhibitor; measurable disease per RECIST v1.1. Pts randomized to SOC will be permitted to cross-over to receive pralsetinib upon disease progression. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (blinded independent central review; RECIST v1.1). Secondary endpoints include ORR, overall survival, duration of response, disease control rate, clinical benefit rate, time to intracranial progression, intracranial ORR, safety/tolerability and quality of life evaluations. Recruitment has begun with sites (active or planned) in North America, Europe and Asia. Clinical trial information: NCT04222972 .

9071 Background: BRG is a kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of patients (pts) with ALK+ metastatic NSCLC; specific details for BRG use vary by indication and country. We report long-term efficacy and safety results of the Phase 1/2 and Phase 2 (ALTA) trials of BRG. Methods: The Phase 1/2 study was a single-arm, open-label trial (NCT01449461) of BRG 30–300 mg/d in pts with advanced malignancies. ALTA (NCT02094573) randomized pts with CRZ-refractory ALK+ NSCLC to receive BRG at 90 mg qd (arm A) or 180 mg qd with 7-d lead-in at 90 mg (arm B). For the Phase 1/2 study, investigator assessments of confirmed objective response rate (cORR; RECIST v1.1), duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety in pts with ALK+ NSCLC are reported. The primary endpoint of ALTA was cORR per investigator; secondary endpoints included cORR per independent review committee (IRC), DoR, PFS, and OS. Results: In the Phase 1/2 study, 137 pts received BRG; of these, 79 pts had ALK+ NSCLC (71/79 had prior CRZ; 28/79 received 180 mg qd [7-d lead-in at 90 mg]; 14/79 received 90 mg qd). In ALTA, 222 pts with CRZ-refractory ALK+ NSCLC were randomized (n = 112/110, arm A/B). At the end of the Phase 1/2 study (Feb 18, 2020), with median 27.7 mo follow-up (̃67 mo after last pt enrolled), 4 pts remained on BRG. At the end of ALTA (Feb 27, 2020), with median 19.6/28.3 mo follow-up in arm A/B (̃53 mo after last pt enrolled), 10/17 pts in arm A/B were still on treatment. Table shows efficacy results from final analyses with long-term follow-up. In ALTA, the IRC-assessed intracranial cORR in pts with measurable baseline brain metastases was 50% (13/26) in arm A and 67% (12/18) in arm B; Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimated median intracranial DoR was 9.4 mo (95% CI, 3.7, not reached [NR]) in arm A and 16.6 mo (3.7, NR) in arm B. With long-term follow-up, no new safety signals were identified. Treatment-emergent adverse events led to dose interruption (Phase 1/2: 59%; ALTA arm A/B: 49%/61%), dose reduction (13%; 8%/33%), or discontinuation (10%; 4%/13%). Conclusions: BRG showed sustained long-term activity, PFS, and manageable safety in pts with CRZ-refractory ALK+ NSCLC. The 180 mg/d dose after 7-d lead-in at 90 mg/d led to numerically higher median PFS and OS. Final results are similar to those reported for other approved ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors in this setting. Clinical trial information: NCT01449461, NCT02094573. [Table: see text]
