9530 Background: Ultraviolet (UV)-induced high tumor mutation burden (TMB) of NACM is associated with response to anti-PD-1 monotherapy (aPD-1). Anatomic location of the primary lesion (reflecting UV exposure) and race (reflecting eumelanin level) may serve as surrogates for TMB and be associated with varying response and irAE patterns. Methods: Pts with advanced NACM receiving aPD-1 between 2009-2019 were retrospectively analyzed from 5 institutions in the US, Australia and China. Best response, survival (PFS and OS), and organ/system-specific irAEs were compared by race (Caucasian [C] vs non-Caucasian [NC]) and primary anatomic site. Results: Among 697 patients, 616 were C, 81 were NC. Complete response rate (CRR) was 24.8% (95%CI, 21.4-28.4) and 2.6% (95%CI, 0.3-9.1) and ORR was 54.9% (95%CI, 50.9-58.9) and 15.6% (95%CI, 8.3-25.6) in C and NC, respectively (both P<.001). Median PFS was 16.5 (95%CI, 12.0-23.1) and 5.2 (95%CI, 3.6-7.6) months, median OS was 60.5 (95%CI, 49.9-not reached [NR]) and 29.2 (95%CI, 17.9-NR) months, in C and NC, respectively (P<.001 and =.04). In multivariate analyses, C had significantly higher CRR (OR 13.4, 95%CI 3.1-57.4), ORR (OR 10.6, 95%CI 4.6-24.5), and longer PFS (HR 0.5, 95%CI 0.4-0.7) than NC. Compared to a head primary site, NACM from less UV-exposed regions had significantly lower CRR (upper trunk, OR 0.6, 95%CI 0.4-0.96; lower limb, OR 0.5, 95%CI 0.2-0.9), ORR (lower limb, OR 0.6, 95%CI 0.3-0.9) and poorer PFS (perineum/buttock, HR 2.1, 95%CI 1.2-3.5; lower limb, HR 1.6, 95%CI 1.2-2.2) and OS (perineum/buttock, HR 3.8, 95%CI 2.2-6.8; lower limb, HR 1.7, 95%CI 1.2-2.4). Overall irAE incidence was similar between C and NC but irAE subtypes varied. C had significantly higher incidence of GI (12.2%, 95%CI 9.5-15.3% vs 1.2%, 95%CI, 0.03-6.7%, P=.001), respiratory (10.3%, 95%CI 7.8-13.2% vs 0, P<.001) and grade 3/4 (15.4%, 95%CI 12.4-18.8% vs 6.2%, 95%CI 2.0-13.8%, P=.03) irAEs; and lower incidence of endocrine (13.8%, 95%CI 10.9-17.0% vs 32.1%, 95%CI 22.2-43.4%, P<.001) and liver (4.8%, 95%CI 3.2-7.1% vs 13.6%, 95%CI, 7.0-23.0%, P=.005) irAEs. IrAEs did not vary by primary NACM site. Conclusions: Race and primary site are independently correlated with distinct response and survival outcomes in pts with advanced NACM receiving aPD-1. IrAE subtypes vary by race although overall irAE incidence does not.

Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR)/microsatellite stable (MSS) is associated with limited response to programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor monotherapy. Limited data of PD-1 blockade combined with anti-angiogenic therapy in GBC are reported. One recurrent GBC patient with pMMR/MSS was treated with camrelizumab plus apatinib. After 4 cycles of combination therapy, the patient achieved a durable complete response with manageable toxicity. The next-generation sequencing and immunohistochemistry analysis showed that tumor mutation burden (TMB) was 7.26 mutants/Mb and PD-L1 expression was 10% (tumor proportion score) and 20% (immune proportion score). This case suggests that camrelizumab in combination with apatinib may be an effective treatment option for GBC patients with pMMR/MSS status, who have moderate expression of TMB and PD-L1. Additionally, TMB and PD-L1 expression may serve as potential biomarkers for predicting PD-1 inhibitor response of GBC. Furthermore, this needs to be verified in future studies.

Abstract Several trials have shown the superior impact of high-dose melphalan (usually 200 mg/m2, MEL200) versus standard therapy in myeloma patients. Intermediate-dose melphalan (100 mg/m2, MEL100) was also superior to the standard dose, but MEL100 has not been clinically compared with MEL200 in a randomized study. In a case-matched study, response rate and event-free survival of MEL200 were superior to MEL100, but overall survival (OS) was similar. In this prospective, randomized, phase III trial, we compared the efficacy and toxicity of MEL200 and MEL100. Between January 2002 and July 2006, 299 patients were enrolled. Inclusion criteria were previously untreated myeloma, aged < 65 and Durie and Salmon stage II or III. Exclusion criteria were abnormal cardiac function, respiratory disease, abnormal liver function, abnormal renal function, HBV, HCV, or HIV positivity, concomitant cancer or psychiatric disease. The institutional review board approved the protocol and written informed consent was obtained from all patients. All patients received: 2 dexamethasone-doxorubicin-vincristine debulking courses (doxorubicin 50 mg/m2 day 1, vincristine 1 mg day 1, dexamethasone 40 mg days 1, 2, 3, 4, each course repeated every 28 days), 2 cycles of cyclophosphamide (4 g/m2, day 1) plus G-CSF followed by stem cell harvest. The MEL200 group was conditioned with 2 cycles of melphalan 200 mg/m2 followed by stem cell reinfusion; the MEL100 group was conditioned with 2 courses of melphalan 100 mg/m2 followed by stem cell reinfusion. At the present, 246 patients, median age 57 (range 32–65), completed the assigned therapy and were evaluated for response, progression-free survival (PFS) and OS. One-hundred and twenty-four patients were randomized to MEL200 and 122 to MEL100. Patient characteristics were similar in both groups. Abnormal cytogenetics (13q deletion, t(4;14), t(11;14), p53) were 75% in MEL200 patients and 56% in MEL100 patients (p=0.05). Forty-six patients did not complete tandem MEL200; 36 patients did not complete tandem MEL100. The near complete response rate of MEL200 was superior to MEL100 (32% versus 18%, p=0.011), but partial response was 80% versus 71%, respectively (p=0.079). The median follow-up for censored patients was 26.5 months. The 3 years PFS was 51% in the MEL200 arm and 33% in the MEL100 arm (HR=0.81, 95% CI 0.55–1.21, p=0.31). The 3 years OS was 86% in the MEL200 group and 71% in the MEL100 group (HR=0.82, 95 CI 0.45–1.48, p=0.51). Duration of grade 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia was comparable in two arms, but MEL200 patients required more platelet transfusions (p=0.03). Grade 3–4 non-hematological adverse events were reported in 49% of the MEL200 patients and in 38% of the MEL100 patients (P=0.07). The most frequent grade 3–4 adverse events were infections (54% of MEL200 patients versus 45% of MEL100 patients, p=0.25), mucositis (31% of MEL200 patients versus 7% of MEL100 patients, p=0.002) and gastrointestinal toxicities (20% of MEL200 patients versus 14% of MEL100 patients, p=0.3). In conclusion, MEL200 resulted in a significantly higher near complete response rate but this did not translate in a superior PFS and OS.

Abstract Abstract 1661 Poster Board I-687 Introduction One approach to improving outcomes in Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) is to incorporate newer targeted agents into standard chemotherapy regimens. As the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (Velcade‘) achieved a 33% response rate in relapsed MCL, we hypothesized that the incorporation of Velcade (Vc) into a modified R-hyperCVAD chemotherapy backbone would result in a high complete response rate (CR). The new regimen, VcR-CVAD, was tested for safety and efficacy in a phase II study within the Wisconsin Oncology Network (UW) and demonstrated a CR rate of 77% (Kahl, ASH 2008). To determine the safety and efficacy of this regimen in a cooperative group setting, we initiated E1405: a phase II study of VcR-CVAD with maintenance rituximab (MR) for untreated MCL. Methods Eligible patients had histologically confirmed, previously untreated MCL, PS 0-2, and adequate end organ function. The treatment plan included: Velcade 1.3 mg/m2 days 1 and 4, rituximab 375 mg/m2 IV day 1, cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2 IV over 3 hrs q 12 hrs X 6 doses days 1-3, doxorubicin 50 mg/m2 continuous infusion over 48 hrs days 1-2, vincristine 1 mg IV day 3, dexamethasone 40 mg po days 1-4. Cycles were repeated every 21 days for 6 cycles and all patients received G-CSF support. Patients achieving SD, PR, or CR received MR administered as 4 weekly treatments every 6 months for 2 years (protocol therapy). Patients had an option to receive high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (off protocol) rather than MR. The primary endpoint of the trial was the CR rate, incorporating PET imaging, to VcR-CVAD induction therapy. Results Seventy-six eligible patients were enrolled between 5/07 and 10/08. Baseline characteristics include median age 62 (40-76), 59M:17F, 91% stage III/IV, and 39% with elevated LDH. Sixty-four patients (84%) completed VcR-CVAD induction therapy. Reasons for treatment discontinuation included PD (1), toxicity (4), patient preference (2), and other/unknown (5). Response information is available on 74 patients while data is outstanding on 2 patients. The ORR was 96% (73/76; 95% CI, 89%-99%), CR rate 75% (57/76; 95% CI, 64%-84%) and the PR rate 21% (16/76; 95% CI, 13%-32%). Six of the PR patients were coded as such because of protocol violations in which a post-treatment bone marrow biopsy or PET scan was not obtained. The CR rate in the 68 completely restaged patients was 84%. Forty-four patients proceeded to planned MR while 21 patients went off protocol to SCT consolidation. Median follow up is currently too short (9 months) to assess PFS and OS. The major toxicity of the treatment regimen was expected myelosuppression. Grade 3-4 non hematologic toxicities were rare. No patients developed grade 3-4 neuropathy. There were no treatment related deaths. Conclusion The VcR-CVAD induction produced high overall response (96%) and CR rate (75%) in a representative MCL patient population treated on a cooperative group protocol. The CR rate was high and comparable to the UW pilot study (77%). No episodes of severe painful peripheral neuropathy were reported using the reduced vincristine dosage and the overall toxicity profile was very acceptable. Longer follow up is needed to determine if the high CR rate will translate into improved PFS and OS.

6005 Background: HPV is associated with 60-80% of OPSCC. E2399 results showed IC followed by (f/b) paclitaxel (P)/3D RT (70Gy) improved 2-yr progression-free (PFS) for HPV+ compared to HPV- OPSCC. We studied a regimen with 20% radiation dose reduction to 54Gy in HPV + OPSCC patients (pts) with a clinical complete response (CCR) to IC. Methods: Stage III/IVA,B resectable HPV+ OPSCC were included. Eligible pts received IC q3 week x 3 with P 90mg/m2 days (D) 1,8, 15, cisplatin (CDDP) 75mg/m2 D1, and cetuximab (C) 400 mg/m2 D1, cycle 1 f/b C 250 mg/m2 weekly. Primary tumor and involved nodal response to IC were determined independently. Pts recieved IMRT 54Gy/27 fxs with weekly C for CCR vs. 69.3Gy/33 fxs with weekly C if <CCR. Primary endpoint was 2-year PFS; secondary endpoints were toxicity, OS, response rate, QOL and correlative biomarkers. Results: From March 2010 to Oct 2011, 90 pts were enrolled (80 analyzable). Median age was 57 years, 95% men, 93% Caucasian, 91% PS 0, 46% never smokers, 84% not current smokers. Nodal stage: 39%-N2B, 29%-N2C, T stage: 23%-T1, 50%-T2, 16%-T3, 10%-T4. 96% received all 3 cycles of IC. Grade 3/4 toxicities included: rash (25%), neutropenia (11%). During CRT: oral mucositis (31%), dysphagia (17%), radiation dermatitis (8%). Response: Biopsy at primary site post- baseline measurements rendered 7/80 pts unevaluable (UE), 6/7 had investigator-reported CCR to IC. The centrally reviewed and investigator reported primary site CCR rate to IC was 63.8% ( 95% CI: 52.2%, 74.2%) and 71.3% (95% CI: 60.0%, 80.8%), respectively. Radiation: 73.8% (59/80 pts) received low dose IMRT/C to primary [54Gy (56), 52Gy (1), 40Gy (2)]. Best overall clinical response was 86% (CR +PR+SD) with 14% UE. Rate of post-treatment neck dissection in low dose vs other RT gp is 13.4% vs 22.2% ( p value of 0.46), respectively. Median follow up is 11.8 months. Conclusions: Overall, IC with P, CDDP and C f/b low dose RT with C was well tolerated, with all pts responding and very low grade 3/4 toxicities. Data on PFS are premature. A 2 year PFS of 85% or better will be considered worthy of further study. Clinical trial information: NCT01084083.

10003 Background: Effective regimens with favorable toxicity profiles are needed for heavily pre-treated children with relapsed AML. AAML1421 is a Phase I/II study of CPX-351, a liposomal preparation of cytarabine and daunorubicin demonstrating efficacy in adults. AAML1421 sought to determine the recommended Phase 2 Dose (RPD2) of CPX-351 and the response rate (complete response (CR) + complete response without platelet recovery (CRp)) after up to 2 cycles of therapy. Methods: Children > 1 and ≤ 21 years of age with relapsed/refractory AML were eligible for dose finding, and those in first relapse were eligible for efficacy. A modified rolling six design was used for dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) assessment which occurred in Cycle 1. Dose level 1 (DL1) was 135 units/m2 on days 1, 3, and 5 with a single dose de-escalation to 100 units/m2 if DL1 was intolerable. The Efficacy Phase used a Simon-two stage design. The response rate was determined after up to 2 cycles of therapy (Cycle 1: CPX-351; Cycle 2: FLAG). The Overall Response Rate (ORR) was defined as CR+CRp+CRi (CRi = CR with incomplete hematologic recovery). Results: Thirty-eight patients (pts) enrolled: 6 in dose-finding and 32 in the efficacy phase. DLT occurred in 1/6 patients and was a grade 3 decrease in ejection fraction(EF). This was the only Grade 3 cardiac toxicity. Therefore, 135 units/m2 on days 1, 3, 5 was the RP2D. All dose finding pts were eligible for efficacy determination. One pt in the efficacy phase was unevaluable. The most common ≥ Grade 3 toxicities in Cycle 1 included fever/neutropenia (45%), infection (47%), and rash (40%). There was no toxic mortality. Best responses included 20 CR (54%), 5 CRp (14%), and 5 CRi (14%). Seventy percent achieved best response after cycle 1. Twenty-one of 25 patients with CR/CRp had no detectable residual disease (RD) (84%) by flow cytometry. HSCT was used as consolidation in 23/29 responders (79%); 18 of 23 (78%) had no detectable RD prior to HSCT. Conclusions: The RP2D of CPX-351 is 135 units/m2/dose on days 1, 3, 5. CPX-351 was well tolerated and protocol therapy was effective with CR+CRp rates of 68.3% (90% CI 52.9% to 78.0%) and ORR (CR+CRp+CRi) of 81.1% (90% CI 67.4% to 88.8%). AAML1421 response rates are superior to any published North American cooperative group clinical trial for children with AML in first relapse. Clinical trial information: NCT02642965.

Purpose Bortezomib has demonstrated promising activity in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL). This is the first study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bortezomib added to rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CVP) in previously untreated advanced-stage FL. Patients and Methods This is a phase II multicenter trial adding bortezomib (1.3 mg/m2 days 1 and 8) to standard-dose R-CVP (BR-CVP) for up to eight cycles in patients with newly diagnosed stage III/IV FL requiring therapy. Two co-primary end points, complete response rate (complete response [CR]/CR unconfirmed [CRu]) and incidence of grade 3 or 4 neurotoxicity, were assessed. Results Between December 2006 and March 2009, 94 patients were treated with BR-CVP. Median patient age was 57 years (range, 29 to 84 years), and the majority had a high (47%) or intermediate (43%) Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index score. BR-CVP was extremely well tolerated, with 90% of patients completing the intended eight cycles. No patients developed grade 4 neurotoxicity, and only five of 94 patients (5%; 95% CI, 0.8% to 9.9%) developed grade 3 neurotoxicity, which was largely reversible. On the basis of an intention-to-treat analysis, 46 of 94 patients (49%; 95% CI, 38.8% to 59.0%) achieved a CR/CRu, and 32 of 94 patients (34%) achieved a partial response, for an overall response rate of 83% (95% CI, 75.4% to 90.6%). Conclusion The addition of bortezomib to standard-dose R-CVP for advanced-stage FL is feasible and well tolerated with minimal additional toxicity. The complete response rate in this high-risk population compares favorably to historical results of patients receiving R-CVP. Given these results, a phase III trial comparing BR-CVP with R-CVP is planned.

Purpose Bortezomib-melphalan-prednisone (VMP) has improved overall survival in multiple myeloma. This randomized trial compared VMP plus thalidomide (VMPT) induction followed by bortezomib-thalidomide maintenance (VMPT-VT) with VMP in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Patients and Methods We randomly assigned 511 patients who were not eligible for transplantation to receive VMPT-VT (nine 5-week cycles of VMPT followed by 2 years of VT maintenance) or VMP (nine 5-week cycles without maintenance). Results In the initial analysis with a median follow-up of 23 months, VMPT-VT improved complete response rate from 24% to 38% and 3-year progression-free-survival (PFS) from 41% to 56% compared with VMP. In this analysis, median follow-up was 54 months. The median PFS was significantly longer with VMPT-VT (35.3 months) than with VMP (24.8 months; hazard ratio [HR], 0.58; P < .001). The time to next therapy was 46.6 months in the VMPT-VT group and 27.8 months in the VMP group (HR, 0.52; P < .001). The 5-year overall survival (OS) was greater with VMPT-VT (61%) than with VMP (51%; HR, 0.70; P = .01). Survival from relapse was identical in both groups (HR, 0.92; P = .63). In the VMPT-VT group, the most frequent grade 3 to 4 adverse events included neutropenia (38%), thrombocytopenia (22%), peripheral neuropathy (11%), and cardiologic events (11%). All of these, except for thrombocytopenia, were significantly more frequent in the VMPT-VT patients. Conclusion Bortezomib and thalidomide significantly improved OS in multiple myeloma patients not eligible for transplantation.

Background: Selinexor (SEL) is an orally bioavailable, highly-selective, and slowly-reversible small molecule that inhibits Exportin 1. Preclinical studies showed that SEL had synergistic antimyeloma activity with glucocorticoids, proteasome inhibitors (PIs) and immunomodulators. The combination of selinexor and dexamethasone (DEX) has been approved in the United States for patients with penta-refractory multiple myeloma in July 2019. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of selinexor based treatment in Multiple myeloma.Methods: We systematically searched the Medline (PubMed), Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials Library databases and ClinicalTrials.gov. Outcome measures of efficacy included overall response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), stringent complete response rate (sCR), complete response rate (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), partial response rate (PR), minimal response (MR), rate of stable disease (SDR), rate of progressive disease (PDR) and median progression-free survival (mPFS). Safety was evaluated by the incidences of all grade adverse events and Grade≥3 adverse events. The subgroup analysis was conducted to analyze the difference in different combination treatment regimens (SEL + DEX + PIs vs SEL + DEX).Results: We included six studies with 477 patients. The pooled ORR, CBR, sCR, CR, VGPR, PR, MR, SDR, and PDR were 43% (18–67%), 55% (32–78%), 5% (−2–13%), 7% (4–11%), 14% (5–24%), 23% (15–31%), 11% (8–14%), 26% (14–38%) and 14% (4–23%), respectively. SEL + DEX + PIs treatment had higher ORR (54 vs 24%, p = 0.01), CBR (66 vs 37%, p = 0.01), sCR (10 vs 2%, p = 0.0008), and VGPR (23 vs 5%, p &lt; 0.00001) compared to SEL + DEX treatment, and lower PDR (4 vs 23%, p &lt; 0.00001) and SDR (17 vs 37%, p = 0.0006). The pooled incidences of any grade and grade≥3 were 45 and 30% in hematological AEs, and in non-hematological AEs were 40 and 30%, respectively. The most common all grade (68%) and grade≥3 (54%) hematological AE were both thrombocytopenia. Fatigue was the most common all grade (62%) and grade≥3 (16%) non-hematological AE. Compared to SEL + DEX treatment, SEL + DEX + PIs treatment had lower incidences of hyponatremia (39 vs 12%, p &lt; 0.00001), nausea (72 vs 52%, p &lt; 0.00001), vomiting (41 vs 23%, p &lt; 0.0001), and weight loss (42 vs 17%, p = 0.03) in all grade AEs. Meanwhile, SEL + DEX + PIs treatment had lower incidences of anemia (36 vs 16%, p = 0.02), fatigue (20 vs 13%, p = 0.04), hyponatremia (22 vs 5%, p &lt; 0.0001) than SEL + DEX treatment in grade≥3 AEs.Conclusion: Our meta-analysis revealed that selinexor-based regimens could offer reasonable efficacy and tolerable adverse events in patients with multiple myeloma. SEL + DEX + PIs treatments had higher efficacy and lower toxicities than SEL + DEX.

3614 Background: Gilbert’s disease patients (pts) (homozygotous for the UGT1A1*28 allele) have a major risk (>30%) of severe, life-threatening, neutropenia when treated with Irinotecan (IRI). The aim of this study was to demonstrate that, in these pts, treated with IRI 1st line for mCRC, primary prevention with GCSF (lenograstim) reduces under 10% the risk of grade 4 or febrile neutropenia. Methods: This is a prospective, multicenter, phase II study of FOLFIRI + bevacizumab 1st line (IRI 180 mg/m² every 2 weeks) and primary prophylactic GCSF (D5 to D11 each course) in mCRC pts with Gilbert’s disease. Pre-chemotherapy UGT1A1 genotyping was centralized and standardized using a biological molecular technique applied on DNA blood-extracted lymphocytes. Using a 2-step Fleming design, (α=5% and β=90%), 30 pts had to be included with an interim analysis (IA) planned after 20 pts and 4 months of follow-up. Results: Twenty pts from 7 centers were included between 10/2007 and 02/2012 and 19 analysed for the IA. Median pts age was 63 years (range: 45-73), 60% were females, 90% were PS 0 or 1, 80% had a colic primary site and 73% hepatic metastases. The primary site was non- resected in 1/3 of pts. The total number of administered courses of chemotherapy was 229 with a median of 12 per pt (range: 1-40). Among all these courses, 213 were administered with GCSF. IRI was administered as defined by the protocol with a nearly 100% rate of received /theoretical dose. Grade 3 neutropenia rate was 10.5%. No grade 3-4 diarrhea, no grade 4 or febrile neutropenia and no toxic death were observed. No declared SAEs were related to GCSF. In term of best response at 6 months, 7 pts were in complete or partial response and 9 had stable disease. Median progression free survival and overall survival were respectively 8.7 months (4.9; 13.4) and 24.4 months (12.6; ND). Conclusions: This study is the first to demonstrate that a pharmacogenetic approach based on a simple genetic test easy to perform can achieve a high rate of safe and performant administration of IRI in high risk mCRC pts. Clinical trial information: NCT00541125.

4112 Background: Adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC) are rare and aggressive. Treatment options are limited and marked by poor efficacy and substantial toxicity. In this phase II single-center study, the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab was assessed in patients (pts) with advanced ACC. Methods: Enrolled pts were aged ≥18 y with advanced ACC, ECOG ≤ 1, available tumor samples for biomarker analysis. Pts received pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W for 2 y or until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, physician/patient decision to stop treatment. Imaging was performed every 9 wks. Tumor PD-L1 positivity (modified proportion score ≥ 1% or presence of stromal interface) was evaluated. Primary endpoint was ORR (by RECIST v1.1). Secondary endpoints included DOR, PFS, OS, safety. Somatic and germline next-generation sequencing was performed. Results: 39 pts were treated. Median age 62 (range, 19-87), 28% ECOG 0, 72% received ≥ 1 therapy. In available samples to date, 7/31 (23%) PD-L1+. At time of analysis, median follow-up among survivors was 17.8 mo (range, 5.4-34.7). ORR was 23.1% (95% CI, 11.1-39.3); 0 CR, 9PR. Seven pts (17.9%) had SD as best response. Among the 9 PRs, median time to PR was 4.1 mo (range, 1.7-10.5) and median DOR was not reached (95% CI, 4.1-not reached). Three pts achieving PR have completed 2 y of treatment with ongoing response noted. Tumor PD-L1 status is currently available in 6 pts with PR, 2/6 (33%) PD-L1+. Median PFS was 2.1 mo (95% CI, 2.0-10.7). Median OS was 24.9 mo (95% CI, 4.2-not reached); 2-year OS rate was 50% (95% CI, 36-69%). In the 34 tested tumors, germline testing identified 2 PR pts with Lynch syndrome; the remaining 7 PRs were MSS. Median tumor mutation burden for all PRs was 4.1 mutations/megabase (range, 0-31.5). There was no significant relationship between somatic alterations and response to treatment. Grade 3/4 treatment-related AEs occurred in 7/39 (17.9%) pts. Two pts discontinued therapy due to AEs; both pts achieved PRs and continue to respond. All pts with PRs had LFT elevation ≥ grade 2. Conclusions: Pembrolizumab demonstrated antitumor activity and was well tolerated in advanced ACC. Durable responses were noted. Complete evaluation of tumor PD-L1 and microsatellite status will be reported at the meeting. Clinical trial information: NCT02673333.
