e16098 Background: Systemic therapy options for patients with advanced gastric cancer (GC) are limited. We here presented the efficacy results for advanced GC patients matched to targeted therapies or immunotherapies based on the identification of tumor tissue genotypes. Methods: We selected 30 patients diagnosed between 2014 and 2020 with advanced GC at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School identified with actionable alterations and received ≥1 matched therapies. Tumor biopsy specimens from the patients were analyzed using NGS and/or selected immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Results: In these 30 patients, median age at diagnosis was 63 years (range 28-83) and 6 (20%) were female. In total, 11 (37%) harbored c-MET amplification/overexpression (received savolitinib or crizotinib, cohort A), 9 (30%) harbored HER2 mutation/overexpression (received RC48-ADC or trastuzumab, cohort B), 6 (20%) dMMR/MSI-H/TMB-H (received sintilimab, pembrolizumab, tislelizumab or nivolumab, combined with antivascular or not, cohort C), 2 (7%) KIT mutation/amplification (received imatinib or anlotinib, cohort D), 1 (3%) BRAF V600E mutation (received vemurafenib, cohort E) and 1 (3%) EGFR mutation (received afatinib, cohort F). Except for three patients in cohort C, all patients received at least one previous line systemic therapy. In cohort A, three of 11 patients had an objective response (1 complete response and 2 partial responses, objective response rate (ORR) 27%), disease control rate (DCR) was 45%, median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 2.1 months, and median overall survival (mOS) was 3.7 months. In cohort B, ORR was 44% (4/9), DCR was 78% (7/9), mPFS and mOS was 3.1 months and 5.5 months, respectively. In cohort C, ORR was 17% (1/6), DCR was 67% (4/6), mPFS and mOS was 1.9 months and 6.8 months, respectively. In cohort D, no patient had objective response or disease control. In cohort E, the one patient had PR. Stable disease was observed in the patient in cohort F. In all cohorts, ORR was 30% (9/30), DCR was 60% (18/30), mPFS and mOS was 2.7 months and 5.8 months, respectively. Conclusions: Overall, 30 patients with advanced GC were treated with matched therapies according to specific genotype. These real-world outcomes suggested that matched therapies for advanced GC has promising efficacy, supporting the adoption of genotyping in treatment determination.

185 Background: Ramucirumab (RAM) is a novel anti-VEGF antibody approved in 2015 in Japan. Predictive factors for RAM in combination with paclitaxel (PTX) remain largely unknown. Methods: We reviewed 77 consecutive advanced gastric cancer patients who were treated with RAM plus PTX between June 2015 and June 2016 in our institution. We evaluated treatment outcome and analyzed potential predictive factors by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: Median age was 67 years (range 35-83) and 51 % of the patients were male. The ECOG performance status (PS) was ≥ 2 in 8 patients. 89% (69/77) patients were treated as second line chemotherapy. Objective response rate (ORR) in patients who have measurable disease was 52 % (17/33). Median progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) and was 6.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI] = 4.3-7.1) and 10.4 months (95% CI 6.8-13.6), respectively. The most frequent adverse events were peripheral neuropathy (44%), G3 ≥ neutropenia (34%), hypertension (32%) and bleeding (27%). At multivariate analysis, hypertension was independent factor for OS (Hazard ratio [HR] = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.14-0.90, P = 0.03). Also, bleeding (HR = 0.23, 95% CI = 0.09-0.55, P = 0.001) was independent factor for PFS and hypertension (HR = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.22-1.02, P = 0.06) had trend toward to show better PFS. Conclusions: RAM plus PTX showed promising efficacy for advanced gastric cancer. RAM related toxicities such as hypertension and bleeding/hemorrhage were independent factors for better outcome. Further investigation is warranted to verify our analysis.

142 Background: Apatinib, a small molecule VEGFR TKI, has been approved in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer in China. Due to toxicity, many pts underwent temporary interruptions during treatment. We analyzed the data from a phase IV clinical trial of Ahead-G201 to evaluate the relationship between dose interruption, drug safety and efficacy. Methods: At the cutoff date of Jul 10, 2017, Ahead-G201 study enrolled 1037 pts. The adverse events (AEs) and clinical efficacy were evaluated for pts with no, 1, 2 and ≥3 dose interruptions. Results: 336 of 1037 pts underwent dose interruptions during apatinib treatment: 1 interruption in 183 pts; 2 interruptions in 67 pts; and ≥3 interruptions in 86 pts. The toxicity and efficacy for them were listed in Table. For safety, pts with no interruption had the lowest incidence of all AEs (59.3%) and grade 3-4 AEs (30.0%). Pts with ≥3 interruptions had the highest objective response rate (ORR, 20.3%) and disease control rate (DCR, 82.6%). Moreover, these pts got median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 6.6 mos and median overall survival (mOS) of 9.4 mos, which were the longest among 4 groups. Furthermore, multivariate analysis revealed that ≥3 interruptions of apatinib bring much more efficacy benefit both in mPFS (6.6 vs 3.8 mos: hazard ratio, 0.5, 95%CI, 0.3 to 0.7) and mOS (9.4 vs 6.6 mos: hazard ratio, 0.5, 95%CI, 0.3 to 0.8) for pts, than those with no interruption. Conclusions: Current results indicated that dose interruptions are required to manage toxicity and it is necessary to explore an optimal dosing pattern of apatinib in advanced gastric cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT02426034. [Table: see text]

35 Background: A fine balance between maintaining efficacy and reducing toxicity is necessary for drug therapies in many cancers. This study seeks to review the data from phase IV clinical trial of Ahead-G201 to help elucidate the optimal initial dose of apatinib in advanced gastric cancer. Methods: Pts data from the Ahead-G201 study at cut-off date of Jul 10, 2017 were extracted to explore the correlation of apatinib initial dose (500 mg vs 850 mg) with safety and clinical efficacy. Results: 864 of eligible pts received apatinib at an initial dose of 500 mg, and 58 pts received at 850 mg. Dose interruption occurred in 258 pts (33.1%) at 500 mg and in 27 pts (46.5%) at 850 mg. For safety, the most common adverse events (AEs) were proteinuria, hypertension and leukocyte decrease in both groups. Moreover, the incidence of all AEs and grade 3-4 AEs in pts at 500 mg was significantly lower than pts at 850 mg (Table). For efficacy, pts at 500 mg achieved an objective response rate (ORR) of 10.8% and a disease control rate (DCR) of 70.6%, at best response, which were 10.3% and 55.2% in pts at 850 mg. Pts at 500 mg got a significantly longer median progression-free survival (mPFS) and median overall survival (mOS) than pts at 850 mg (PFS, 4.6 mos vs 2.2 mos; OS, 6.8 mos vs 4.0 mos). Multivariate analysis indicated that apatinib treatment at an initial dose of 500 mg was significantly associated with longer mOS in advanced gastric cancer pts (6.8 mos vs 4.0 mos: hazard ratio, 0.5; 95%CI, 0.3 to 0.8), compared to initial dose of 850 mg. Conclusions: Compared to receiving apatinib at initial dose of 850mg, oral administration of apatinib starting from 500 mg seemed to bring more clinical benefit for patients with advanced gastric cancer, whilst with lower toxicities.

e16560 Background: Trifluridine/tipiracil, an oral drug, was approved in Japan for patients (pts) with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Insufficient oral intake (INSUF) is one of the most common complications. We evaluated the clinical characteristics and impact of oral intake during 2nd line chemotherapy (CT). Methods: We retrospectively evaluated AGC pts receiving 2nd line CT from January 2012 to December 2018 at a single institution. We defined “INSUF” as a requirement for daily intravenous fluids or hyperalimentation and “improvement of oral intake (IMP)” as no such requirement for > 1 week. Exacerbation (EXA) was defined as a change from “sufficient oral intake (SUF)” to INSUF. Results: We enrolled 495 pts, of which 67 (13%) and 428 (87%) pts had INSUF and SUF at the start of 2nd line CT, respectively. Patient characteristics are summarized in the Table. There was no difference in the cytotoxic drugs of 2nd line CT. The causes of INSUF were peritoneal metastases (79%), cachexia (15%), and primary complications (3%). The objective response rates of INSUF and SUF pts were 9% and 26%, respectively. INSUF pts had poorer progression-free survival (PFS) (1.7 vs. 3.7 months [M]; adjusted HR [aHR], 1.51; p < 0.001) and overall survival (3.2 vs. 10.1 M; aHR, 2.01; p < 0.001) than SUF pts. At the end of 2nd line CT, 147 (32%) and 314 (68%) pts had INSUF and SUF, respectively. In SUF pts, the factors correlated with EXA were poor ECOG PS (odds ratio [OR], 5.26; p < 0.001), massive or moderate ascites (OR, 2.04; p = 0.031), palliative operation history (OR, 2.90; p = 0.007), and ramucirumab use (OR, 0.50; p = 0.034). Median PFS was shorter after CT in pts with EXA than in those without (1.7 vs. 4.2 M; aHR, 2.05; p < 0.001). Among INSUF pts, 11 pts (16%) achieved IMP; the rate of IMP did not differ according to regimen. Median PFS was shorter in pts without IMP than in pts with IMP (1.1 vs. 3.3 M; aHR, 4.97; p = 0.001). Subsequent CT was administered to 29% and 71% of INSUF and SUF pts, respectively. Conclusions: INSUF at the start of 2nd line CT was a poor prognostic factor. For appropriate use of oral drugs, CT should be changed in SUF pts with factors associated with EXA. [Table: see text]

4523 Background: First-line treatment with pembro or pembro + chemo vs chemo alone was evaluated in patients with PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥1, HER2-negative advanced gastric cancer in the randomized, active-controlled, phase 3 KEYNOTE-062 study (NCT02494583). We present results from the Asian subpopulation receiving pembro monotherapy or chemo. Methods: Eligible patients were randomly assigned 1:1:1 to pembro 200 mg, pembro + chemo (cisplatin + 5-FU or capecitabine), or placebo + chemo every 3 weeks for ≤35 cycles (~2 years). Randomization was stratified by region, disease status, and fluoropyrimidine treatment. Primary end points for this analysis were overall survival (OS) in patients with CPS ≥1 and patients with CPS ≥10; progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) were exploratory end points. Data cutoff was March 26, 2019. Results: Globally, 256 patients received pembro monotherapy and 250 received chemo. Pembro was noninferior to chemo for OS in CPS ≥1 per prespecified margins (median OS, 10.6 vs 11.1 months, respectively; HR [99.2% CI], 0.91 [0.69-1.18]). In the Asian population 62 patients received pembro and 61 received chemo; 26 and 22 had CPS ≥10 (Table). Compared with the global population, Asian patients had a higher proportion of ECOG performance status 0, more diagnoses of stomach cancer, and a greater proportion with 0-2 metastatic sites. Median OS was longer with pembro than chemo using both CPS cutoffs (HR [95% CI]: CPS ≥1, 0.54 [0.35-0.82]; CPS ≥10, 0.43 [0.21-0.89]); 12- and 24-month OS rates were higher for pembro using both CPS cutoffs (12-month OS: CPS ≥1, 69% vs 54%; CPS ≥10, 81% vs 68%; 24-month OS: CPS ≥1, 45% vs 23%; CPS ≥10, 54% vs 27%). The HR (95% CI) for PFS was 1.11 (0.76-1.64) for CPS ≥1 and 0.71 (0.36-1.39) for CPS ≥10. Conclusions: In Asian patients with advanced gastric cancer, OS favored pembro in patients with CPS ≥1 and CPS ≥10. Clinical trial information: NCT02494583 . [Table: see text]

e16138 Background: The combination of lenvatinib (LEN) and pembrolizumab (PEMBRO) showed promising response rates and survival in a phase 1b trial for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Whether LEN plus PEMBRO provides better outcomes than LEN monotherapy remains unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of LEN plus PEMBRO versus lenvatinib monotherapy in patients with unresectable HCC in the real world setting. Methods: A total of 123 patients with unresectable HCC were retrospectively enrolled, including 61 patients with LEN monotherapy and 62 patients with LEN plus PEMBRO. We evaluated progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) by RECIST 1.1 and modified RECIST (mRECIST) criteria. Results: One hundred and one (82.1%) patients were in BCLC stage C and 81 (65.9%) patients received LEN or LEN plus PEMBRO as first line setting. During a median follow-up period of 8.0 months, 71 (57.7%) and 31 (25.2%) of patients had disease progression and death, respectively. The median PFS was 8.4 and 4.9 months in the LEN plus PEMBRO and LEN monotherapy groups, respectively (p = 0.033). The median OS was not reached in the LEN-PEM group and was 17.2 months in the LEN monotherapy group (p = 0.064). Patients with LEN plus PEMBRO had higher objective response rate (ORR: 34.4% vs 23.7% by RECIST 1.1, p = 0.277; 57.4% vs 32.2% by mRECIST, p = 0.010) and higher disease control rate (83.6% vs 62.7% by RECIST 1.1, p = 0.017; 85.2% vs 62.7% by mRECIST, p = 0.009). In subgroup patients with BCLC stage C, LEN plus PEMBRO provided significantly longer PFS (9.1 vs 4.8 months, p = 0.008), higher ORR (60% vs 33.3%, p = 0.015) and higher DCR (88% vs 60.4%, p = 0.004) by mRECIST criteria. Conclusions: LEN plus PEMBRO provides significantly better ORR, DCR and PFS then LEN monotherapy for patients with unresectable HCC.

TPS177 Background: Trastuzumab (Tmab) with cisplatin and fluoropyrimidines improved the overall survival (OS) of patients (pts) with HER2 (+) advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Nivolumab (Nivo) is an anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibody that demonstrated a survival benefit as third line or later of AGC. To date, most trials investigating anti-PD-1 antibody for 1st line treatment focus on HER2 (-) AGC. In HER2(+) breast cancer mouse model, combining Tmab with anti-PD-1 antibody was reported to enhance ADCC activity of Tmab, and show greater tumor regression. In our data, the PD-L1 expression was observed in 44% of tumor cells and 70% of immune cells in human HER2(+) AGC. Based on these data, we have plannedthis phase Ib investigator-initiated trial to investigate the safety and tolerabirity of Nivo plus Tmab and either S-1 or capecitabine (Cape) plus Oxaliplatin (Ox) for pts with HER2(+) AGC. Methods: Histopathologically confirmed HER2(+) AGC with mesurable lesions, aged > 20 years, chemo-naïve pts are enrolled in this study. Pts receive Nivo (360 mg/body; day 1) plus Tmab (course1, 8 mg/kg; course 2 onward, 6 mg/kg; day 1) and either S-1 (40 mg/m2 bid d1-14; cohort 1) or Cape (1000 mg/m2 bid d1-14; cohort 2) plus Ox (130 mg/m2; day 1) every three weeks until desease progression or unacceptable toxicity. In the primary part, six pts for each cohort will be assessed for tolerability.To estimate the objective response rate (ORR) in the analysis-set, on our hypothesis that a true response rate is 80%, 20 pts are required for the 90% C.I. to be ± 20%. Therefore the expansion part for each cohort will be 12-15 pts. Primary endpoint is safety. Secondary endpoint is tolerability and exploratory endpoints include ORR, disease control rate, progression free survival and OS. Collaborative biomarker analysis includes whole exome sequences, RNA sequences, gut microbiome, and IHC using biopsy specimens. In addition, T-cell repartry, circulating tumor DNA and exomes will be also analyzed using blood obtained during treatment. This study just has been initiated at four sites in Japan. Clinical trial information: UMIN000034222.

374 Background: Pembrolizumab, anti–PD-1 antibody, provides response rates of around 15% in patients (pts) with PD-L1-positive advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Lenvatinib, a multikinase inhibitor of VEGF receptors and other receptor tyrosine kinases, substantially decreased the tumor-associated macrophages and increased infiltration of CD8-positive T cells and enhanced anti-tumor activity of PD-1 inhibitors in vivo model. This phase 2 study has been conducted to evaluate efficacy and safety of the combination of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab in pts with AGC. Methods: Eligible pts were with AGC having measurable lesions according to RECIST ver. 1.1. Pts could be enrolled regardless of PD-L1 status. Pts received 20 mg oral lenvatinib daily plus 200 mg intravenous pembrolizumab every 3 weeks. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Planned sample size was 29 pts based on Simon’s optimal two-stage design with one-sided ɑ = 5% and power = 80%. The threshold and expected ORRs were 10% and 30%. PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) was assessed using the anti–PD-L1 22C3 antibody. Results: From October 2018 to March 2019, 29 pts (27 MSS and 2 MSI-H) were enrolled and assessed for anti-tumor response. Fourteen pts received the study treatment as first-line and 15 pts as second-line. ORR was 69% (95% CI 49 to 85). The disease control rate was 100%. ORR in MSS pts was 70%. ORR was numerically higher in pts with CPS≥1 (n=19, ORR 84%) than that of pts with CPS<1 (n = 10, ORR 40%). Median progression-free survival was 6.9 months (95% CI, 4.4-9.4 months) with 14 pts with ongoing treatment at the data cut off in August 2019. Grade ≥ 3 treatment related adverse events occurred in 13 pts (45%) including hypertension (34%), proteinuria (17%), and platelet count decreased (7%). Conclusions: Lenvatinib with pembrolizumab showed a promising antitumor activity with acceptable safety profiles for pts with AGC, which warrants further investigations in a larger cohort.

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of camrelizumab in the treatment of digestive system malignancies in the real world. Methods: A retrospective study was designed. A total of 34 patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer who received camrelizumab treatment in the xx hospital from July 2019 to May 2020 were included. The follow-up endpoint was set for October 30, 2020. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) and safety. Secondary endpoint measures included progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Cox regression was used for the analysis of factors associated with PFS. Results: As the best response, only 5 patients achieved a partial response and 10 patients had disease progression, with an ORR of 14.31%. Compared with gastric cancer, the ORR of esophageal cancer (3.0% vs 0.0%) (P<0.05). The PFS was 4.5 months (2-10 months). OS ranged from 4 to 11 months, and median OS has not been reached. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that gastric cancer (HR=1.695, 95% CI:11.216–2.435, P<0.05) was associated with still shorter PFS, and camrelizumab combined with other drugs (HR=0.512, 95% CI: 0.095–0.737, P<0.01) was associated with PFS in patients. The most common AEs were anemia (41.2%, 14/34) in all grades 1 to 2. Grade 3 AEs occurred in 3 patients (2.9%), including 1 case of immune pneumonitis, 1 case of hemangioma, and 1 case of transaminase increased. Other adverse events included diarrhea, nausea, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, reactive cutaneous capillary proliferation (RCCEP), fatigue, and hypothyroidism, all of which did not exceed 12%. Conclusion: Camrelizumab is effective and safe in the treatment of patients with digestive system malignancies, but the overall response rate is limited.

e15508 Background: Apatinib is the first oral anti-angiogenic agent approved for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer in China. With the development of marketing promotion, the real world observation of the efficacy and prognostic factors analysis of apatinib become the urgent need for clinical decision. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib in patients with advanced gastric cancer, and the association between some prognostic factors and clinical outcomes. Methods: We collected the data of 153 patients with advanced gastric cancer, who were treated with apatinib after failure of at least one regimen chemotherapy from December 2014 to June 2019. Treatment response, progression-free survival(PFS), overall survival(OS) and treatment-related adverse events were evaluated. Results: The median PFS for 153 patients was 3.1m (95% confidence interval, CI 2.863-3.337). The median OS was 6.0m (95% CI 4.392-7.608). Adverse events of grade 3 or above happened in 47.6 percent of patients and 61.7 percent of whom stopped treatment. Multivariate analysis showed that the number of metastatic sites was the independent factor simultaneously predicting DCR (disease control rate, P = 0.008) and OS (P = 0.007). Patients spending more than one year from diagnosis to treatment with apatinib had better DCR (P = 0.032) and longer PFS (P = 0.015). Liver metastasis (P = 0.007) and combined systemic therapy (P = 0.036) were significantly associated with DCR, but not associated with PFS or OS. Conclusions: Some patients with advanced gastric cancer can benefit from apatinib. This study help us to identify patients who has potential benefit from apatinib.
