e16542 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are commonly used as first-line treatment for pts with advanced RCC. In the recent phase 3 CLEAR trial, LEN + PEMBRO showed improved objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) vs sunitinib in first-line treatment of advanced RCC (Motzer R et al. NEJM. 2021). Additional treatment options are needed for pts with disease progression on ICIs. A phase 1b trial of LEN + PEMBRO was performed in multiple tumor types and included an expansion part into a phase 2 cohort of ICI-pretreated, treatment-naïve, or previously treated ICI-naïve pts with metastatic RCC (NCT02501096). We report the final results of the RCC cohort with an extended follow-up. Methods: Eligible pts were ≥18 years old and had measurable disease. Efficacy analyses were conducted by prior therapy grouping. The primary endpoint was ORR at week 24 (ORRwk24) per immune-related (ir) RECIST by investigator assessment. Secondary endpoints included ORR, duration of response (DOR), PFS, OS, and safety. Exploratory endpoints included tumor response assessed per RECIST v1.1 by independent review committee (IRC). Subgroup analyses of the ICI-pretreated group will be included in the poster. Results: The recommended doses determined in phase 1b were LEN 20 mg daily + PEMBRO 200 mg once every 3 weeks (Taylor M et al. JCO. 2020). The study enrolled 145 pts (efficacy analysis, n=143; safety analysis, n=145). At data cutoff (August 18, 2020), the median follow-up time was 19.8 months. The ORRwk24 was 55.8% (95% CI 45.7–65.5) for ICI-pretreated pts (n=104), 72.7% (95% CI 49.8–89.3) for treatment-naïve pts (n=22), and 41.2% (95% CI 18.4–67.1) for previously treated ICI-naïve pts (n=17). The median OS for the previously treated ICI-naïve pts was 30.3 months and was not reached in the other groups. Additional efficacy analyses are shown in the table. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 99.3% of pts; the most common were fatigue (58.6%), diarrhea (55.2%), and hypertension (40.0%). Most pts (69%) maintained the LEN starting dose or were reduced to LEN 14 mg daily (dose level −1). Conclusions: LEN + PEMBRO demonstrated promising antitumor activity with a manageable safety profile in pts with metastatic RCC, including pts who were ICI-pretreated. Clinical trial information: NCT02501096. [Table: see text]

e21040 Background: The anti-angiogenic drug bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy has achieved positive results in previous studies. In particular, the median progression-free survival (PFS) for EGFR-negative patients was increased to 8.3 months in the BEYOND study. Unlike bevacizumab, anlotinib is a novel multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor and can be conveniently orally administered. In the phase III trial ALTER 0303, anlotinib significantly improved overall survival (OS) and PFS in advanced NSCLC patients. This exploratory study aims to establish the efficacy and safety of anlotinib in combination with pemetrexed and carboplatin as first-line treatment in advanced non-squamous NSCLC. Methods: This is a multi-center, single-arm clinical trial. Adults with treatment-naive, histologically confirmed stage IIIB-IV non-squamous NSCLC, ECOG 0-1, and without known sensitizing EGFR/ALK alterations are included. Patients received anlotinib (12 mg p.o., QD, d1 to 14, 21 days per cycle) combined with pemetrexed (500 mg/m2, iv, d15-21, Q3W) + carboplatin (AUC = 5, iv, d15-21, Q3W) for 4 cycles followed by anlotinib and pemetrexed maintenance until disease progression (PD). The primary endpoint was PFS. Secondary endpoints were OS, objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and safety. Results: Between Mar 2019 and Dec 2020, 40 patients were enrolled in six centers and 31 of them have received at least one tumor assessment. Median age was 62 (33, 75); 66.7% male, 11.1% brain metastasis. At data cutoff (Dec 31, 2020), patients were followed up for a median of 8.26 months. Median PFS was 10.5 months (95% CI: NE, NE); ORR was 67.7% (0 CR, 21 PR), DCR was 96.8% (0 CR, 21 PR, 9 SD) and median OS was NE. The most common Grade ≥ 3 AEs were hypertension 22.2%, neutropenia 19.44%, myelosuppression 11.1%, thrombocytopenia 8.33%, leukopenia 5.56%, hand-foot syndrome 5.56% and there were no Grade 5 toxicities. Conclusions: This study finds that anlotinib plus pemetrexed and carboplatin can significantly improve PFS and ORR compared to standard chemotherapy for treatment-naive non-squamous NSCLC patients. The combination was well tolerated, and the AEs were manageable. The follow-up time is not sufficient, and the OS outcomes need further evaluation. Clinical trial information: NCT03790228.

Immunosuppressive therapy (IST) based on antithymoglobin (ATG) and cyclosporin (CsA) is the first-line treatment for severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patients who are unfit for transplantation,and the overall response rate (ORR) is about 70%.The utility of eltrombopag (EPAG),a TPO receptor agonist, achieved robust hematologic response in refractory and treatment-naïve SAA patients in clinical trials and some other studies. However, only a few data came from Asia countries where higher incidence of AA has been reported. A retrospective study on the use of EPAG in AA was conducted in mainland China. Aplastic anemia (transfusion dependent non-severe, severe, and very severe) patients who started eltrombopag before Feb 2019 and continued for at least 3 months either as first-line treatment or as rescue treatment, were enrolled. The maximum daily dosage of EPAG used continuously for at least 2 weeks is defined as the stable dosage. Response criteria were referred to that used in previous reports (Townsley DM, NEJM 2017; BCSH, BJH 2016). Fifty-six patients from eleven centers were enrolled in this study, including 26 males and 30 females at the median age of 39 (7-80) years. All patients were transfusion-dependent by the time of EPAG administration, and there were 14 VSAA, 24 SAA and 18 transfusion dependent non-severe aplastic anemia (TD-NSAA). Nineteen treatment-naïve patients received EPAG and IST (ATG+CsA, n=10; CsA/CsA+androgen, n=9) as first-line treatment. Thirty-seven patients were refractory to IST. Eltrombopag was administered at a median dose of 75 (25-150) mg per day for 7 (3-31) month. The median follow-up time was 9 (3-40) months. The overall response rate in patients receiving EPAG as first-line therapy was 78.9% (15/19), and most patients achieved complete response (CR) (10/15). Among the 10 patients receiving ATG+CsA, 6 patients achieved hematologic response (HR) at 3 months post-treatment, including 3 CR. Six patients were diagnosed as VSAA and three achieved HR. For the 9 patients treated with CsA/CsA+androgen, 8 achieved HR (88.9%) and 4 were CR (44.4%) at 3 months. By last follow-up, the cumulative HR rate was 70% in ATG+CsA group and 89% in CsA/CsA+ androgen group. Among the 14 responders, 11 patients receiving EPAG at a stable dosage ≤75mg/d and achieved HR at 3 months. The overall response rate in IST-refractory patients was 46% (17/37), with trilineage response in 27% patients at 3 months. For the 18 ATG+CsA refractory SAA patients,trilineage HR occurred in 4 patients (22.2%, 4/18), bi-lineage HR in one patient and single lineage HR in one patient. Thus, the total HR was 33.3% (6/18) at 3 months and increased to 44% (8/18) by last follow-up. Among the 19 CsA/CsA+ androgen refractory patients, 6 (31.5%, 6/19) achieved trilineage HR, one achieved bi-lineage HR and 4 achieved single lineage response. Total HR rate was 57.9% (11/19) at 3 months after EPAG initiation and 68% (13/19) by last follow-up, including 9 patients with trilineage HR. Among 17 responders, 13 received a stable EPAG dose of≤75mg/d. Most patients tolerated EPAG well. Adverse events occurred in 29 patients (52%) and most were mild to moderate, including gastrointestinal symptom (n=15, e.g. abdominal pain, nausea), impaired liver function (n=5), skin changes (n=7, e.g. skin pruritus and rash) and musculoskeletal pain (n=6), and venous thrombus (n=2). Eltrombopag dosage was reduced in 2 patients due to severe digestive symptoms at 100 mg/d and discontinued in one patient who suffered from upper limb venous thrombus. In conclusion, EPAG is effective and safe in treating Chinese AA patients at a daily dose of 75mg and less. The real-world result of EPAG in Chinese patients is similar to those reported in Western countries. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

TPS4157 Background: C inhibits tyrosine kinases involved in tumor growth, angiogenesis, and immune regulation, including MET, VEGFR, and TAM kinases (Tyro3, AXL, MER). C is approved for treatment of aHCC after prior S based on improved overall survival (OS) vs placebo in the phase 3 CELESTIAL trial (Abou-Alfa NEJM 2018). Standard of care for first-line treatment of aHCC is tyrosine kinase inhibition with S or lenvatinib, and phase 3 trials of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in first- and second- line aHCC are ongoing. C may promote an immune-permissive tumor environment, which could enhance response to ICIs. C is being evaluated in combination with the anti-PD-L1 antibody A in multiple tumor types including HCC in a phase 1 study; and dose, preliminary clinical activity, and safety have been established in aRCC (Agarwal Ann Oncol 2018). A in combination with bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF antibody, has shown preliminary clinical activity in first-line aHCC (Pishvaian Ann Oncol 2018). Here, we present the study design of a phase 3 trial of C+A vs S in pts with aHCC who have not received prior systemic therapy. Methods: This international, randomized, open-label phase 3 trial (NCT03755791) is evaluating the efficacy and safety of C+A vs S as first-line treatment for aHCC. Eligibility criteria include age ≥18 years, BCLC stage B or C, Child-Pugh A, ECOG PS 0 or 1, and measurable disease per RECIST 1.1. Patients are randomized 6:3:1 to an experimental arm of C (40 mg qd) + A (1200 mg infusion q3w), a control arm of S (400 mg bid), and an exploratory arm of C monotherapy (60 mg qd). 640 pts are planned at ~200 sites globally. Randomization is stratified by disease etiology (HBV [with or without HCV], HCV [without HBV], or other), region (Asia, other), and the presence of extrahepatic disease and/or macrovascular invasion (yes, no). OS and progression-free survival are coprimary endpoints and objective response rate is a secondary endpoint. Additional endpoints include safety, pharmacokinetics, and correlation of biomarker analyses with clinical outcomes. Enrollment in COSMIC-312 is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03755791.

Abstract Introduction To evaluate the safety and efficacy of zanubrutinib, lenalidomide plus R-CHOP (ZR 2-CHOP) as the first-line treatment for DLBCL patients, we conducted this single-arm retrospective observational study. Methods Treatment-naïve patients with DLBCL(including but not limited to double-hit, double expression) aged 18 to 75 years were enrolled.ZR 2-CHOP was given as follows, Oral zanubrutinib was given continuously (160 mg twice daily) from Day 0, lenalidomide 25 mg daily Day 1-7. Patients were administered intravenously rituximab (375 mg/m 2 Day 0), cyclophosphamide (750 mg/m 2 Day 1), doxorubicin (50 mg/m 2 Day 1), vincristine (1.4 mg/m 2 Day 1), and oral prednisone (100 mg Day 1-5). All patients were recommended to receive 6 cycles of ZR 2-CHOP (R-CHOP or R 2-CHOP were allowed in cycle 1-2 due to poor physical condition at treatment) and patients older than 70 years old were administered ZR 2-miniCHOP (Figure 1). CT or PET-CT scans were applied to mid-term efficacy and PET-CT scan was conducted after 6 cycles. ctDNA was dynamically detected before treatment, after 3 and 6 cycles to evaluate tumor mutational burden. The primary endpoint was complete response ratio (CRR) at mid-term and after 6 cycles. The secondary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR), ctDNA dynamics and adverse events (AE). AEs were graded based on CTCAE (version 5.0). Results 12 treatment-naïve DLBCL patients diagnosed in Pukou CLL Center were enrolled in this cohort between July 2020 and June 2021. The median age was 56 years old and all patients had ECOG-PS ≤2. 1 patient (1/12) was diagnosed as double-hit DLBCL and 9 patients (9/12) as double-expression. 10 patients were non-GCB and 2 were GCB. 7 patients were classified as high-intermediate and high-risk group according to NCCN-IPI (Table 1). At data cutoff (1st July, 2021), the median follow-up was 8 months (3-12 months) with all patients have completed at least 3 cycles and mid-term assessment has been conducted. The ORR was 100.0%, with 10 patients achieved CR and 2 patients achieved PR (both two patients received R-CHOP regimen in cycle 1/cycle 1-2 due to poor physical condition at initial treatment, Figure 1). 10 patients have received 6 cycles, all of them achieved CR (Figure 2). ctDNA was dynamically detected in six patients. The median number of detectable ctDNA mutation among six patients was 8 (0-12) with two patients classified as MCD subtype and one patients as EZB subtype. All six patients showed undetectable ctDNA after 3 cycles. During end of treatment follow-up, one patient (triple-hit, EZB) who scheduled to receive auto-SCT underwent disease progression 4 months later and reemergence of ctDNA showed previous homologous clones. The most common hematological toxicity events were lymphocytes count decreased, neutrophil count decreased, thrombocytopenia and anemia, with 3-4 level occurrence rate was 66.7%, 25.0%, 25.0% and 16.7%. The most common non-hematological toxicity events were nausea, fatigue and anorexia. One patients discontinued oral zanubrutinib and lenalidomide in last two cycles due to drug rash. Conclusion ZR 2-CHOP could attain high CR rate and ctDNA clearance in TN DLBCL, including patients with DEL and/or high-risk. The overall tolerability was manageable. ZR 2-CHOP could be one of the promising choice for TN DLBCL. Figure 1 Figure 1. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare. OffLabel Disclosure: Zanubrutinib was used in the initial treatment of high-risk DLBCL.

TPS4143 Background: Blockade of the immune checkpoint receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1) has shown clinical benefit in multiple tumor types. Nivolumab (anti–PD-1) has demonstrated a survival advantage versus (vs) placebo in patients (pts) with advanced gastric cancer (GC) or gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJC) (Kang YK et al. Lancet 2017;390:2461–71). Lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3) is an immune checkpoint molecule that negatively regulates effector T-cell function and is a marker of T-cell exhaustion. Preliminary data in melanoma suggest that combining nivolumab with relatlimab (anti–LAG-3) could improve efficacy without substantially increasing toxicity vs nivolumab especially, but not exclusively, in LAG-3-expressing pts (Ascierto PA et al. Ann Oncol 2017;28(S5):LBA18). Furthermore, LAG-3 expression was as high as 33% in an analysis of solid tumors including GC (Edwards R et al. J Immunother Cancer 2017;5(S3):P510). Study CA224-060 will assess the clinical efficacy and safety of relatlimab and nivolumab with chemotherapy for first-line treatment of GC or GEJC. Methods: This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase 2 study of relatlimab and nivolumab with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy vs nivolumab with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Approximately 250 adult pts with untreated, locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic GC or GEJC will be enrolled. To be randomized, pts must have tumor tissue for analysis of biomarkers, LAG-3 status, and PD-L1 combined positive score. Key exclusion criteria include HER2-positive status, untreated CNS metastases, or significant cardiovascular disease. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) using RECIST v.1.1 by blinded independent central review in LAG-3-expressing pts. Other endpoints include investigator-assessed ORR, ORR in LAG-3-negative pts, duration of response, overall survival, progression-free survival, and safety and tolerability. Efficacy signals in biomarker subgroups will be explored. Currently, 26 sites are activated with 15 randomized pts. Clinical trial information: NCT03662659.

Prospective trials of anti-mycobacterial antibiotic therapy (AMAT) have proven efficacious in Crohn’s disease (CD) but use as first-line treatment in CD has not been evaluated. This paper reports the outcomes of patients with CD treated with first-line AMAT. This paper consists of a case series of treatment-naïve CD patients who received AMAT as first-line treatment between 2007 and 2014 at a single center. AMAT treatment consisted of rifabutin, clofazimine and clarithromycin, plus either ciprofloxacin, metronidazole or ethambutol. Symptoms, inflammatory blood markers, colonoscopy and histology results, in addition to, the Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI) were tabulated from patients’ clinical records, and descriptive statistics were conducted. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test assessed the difference in CDAI scores before and while on AMAT. The statistical significance was set at 5%. Clinical remission (CDAI < 150) with rapid improvement in clinical symptoms and inflammatory markers was seen in all eight patients receiving AMAT as sole therapy by 6 weeks. In all eight patients, the median CDAI score decreased significantly, from 289 prior to treatment to 62 at the 12-month follow-up (p < 0.001). Follow-up colonoscopies showed healing of CD ulcers, no visible mucosal inflammation, restoration of normal vascular patterns and complete mucosal healing on histology samples. AMAT as first-line therapy demonstrated a rapid improvement of Crohn’s disease (not previously seen when used as second-line therapy).

15062 Background: The survival of advanced gastric cancer remains poor, while no chemotherapy regimen was recognized standard. Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine (Xeloda) have demonstrated promising antitumor efficacy in advanced colorectal cancer. The present study was conducted to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of XELOX (Oxaliplatin and Xeloda) regimen in gastric cancer. Methods: Patients with unresectable or metastatic gastric cancer were enrolled into this study. They all receive the XELOX regimens (Oxaliplatin 130mg/ m2 intravenously in 2 hours on day 1 followed by oral capecitabine 1000mg/ m2 twice daily for 14 days every 3 weeks).We evaluated the response every 2 cycles. Results: The median age of the total enrolled 45 patients was 55 years (range, 22–82 years), including 32 male and 13 female. They received a median of 5 cycles (range, 2–8 cycles) of XELOX. 21 of 45 patients (46.7%) achieved an objective response, 1 patient (2.2%) had completed response. 17 patients (37.8%) experienced stable disease. Median time to tumor progression (TTP) and median overall survival were not available yet due to the further follow-up needed. Most toxicity events were mild to moderate in XELOX regimen, with grade 3/4 neutropenia of 8.9 %, thrombocytopenia of 6.7%, anemia of 11.1%, hand-foot syndrome of 6.7 % and diarrhea of 6.7 %. Grade 3 neuropathy was 4.4%. The patients with advanced gastric cancer had a good tolerance to this chemotherapy. Conclusions: XELOX is a highly effective first-line treatment for unrsectable and metastatic gastric cancer. The response rates in this trial seems to be similar to those observed with FU/leucovorin/oxaliplatin combinations. XELOX is tolerable well in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Introduction: About 2 to 10% of patients (pts) diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) develop diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL, so-called Richter transformation (RT)) over long-term follow-up. The outcomes of pts with RT are variable and poorly understood and there is no consensus on the best therapeutic approach. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical characteristics, outcomes and factors predictive of survival in a large series of RT from the French Innovative Leukemia Organization (FILO). Methods: Biopsy-confirmed RT (limited to DLBCL and excluding Hodgkin lymphoma) diagnosed from 2001 to 2018 were identified from eight FILO centers. Clinical and biological characteristics of CLL and RT at diagnosis, including cytogenetics, clonal relation with the pre-existing CLL, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) status, cell of origin (COO) analyzed by immunohistochemistry and RT score (Tsimberidou AM et al, J Clin Oncol, 2006) were analyzed as well as treatment and outcomes. Overall survivals (OS) were defined as time from CLL and RT diagnosis to death from any cause and analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Statistical analyses were performed with SAS version 9.4. Results: A total of 70 CLL pts who developed RT were identified. The median age at CLL diagnosis was 62 years old (range 35-82), and 50 (71.4 %) were male. The median time to transformation was 5.5 years (range 0 to 22 years), with 12 simultaneous diagnosis of CLL and RT. Prior to RT, 20 (29%) pts had not been treated for CLL, 50 received one (n=21) or more (n= 29) line of treatment ; 6 pts had received a novel agent (ibrutinib, idelalisib or venetoclax). The median age at RT diagnosis was 68 years old (range 42-88). All biopsies were centrally reviewed; 38/58 pts (66%) had elevated LDH (>1.5N) ; 35/65 pts (54 %) had bulky disease (≥ 5 cm); 10/54 (18.5%) pts had del(17p) or TP53 mutation ; 9/42 pts (21%) had a complex karyotype (at least 3 abnormalities). The CLL and RT were clonally related in 27/27 (100%) tested pts. COO by Hans algorithm was non germinal center B cell-like (GCB) in 26/28 pts (93%). EBV was positive or detected in 5/40 (12.5%) pts. The median of Ki67 positivity was 70% (range 30% to 100%). The RT score (based at RT diagnosis on ECOG performance status 2-4, LDH >1.5 x normal, platelets<100 x 109/L, tumor size >5 cm and >1 prior therapy for CLL) was : low risk in 17 pts (31%), low-intermediate risk in 10 pts (19%), high-intermediate risk in 14 pts (25%) and high risk in 14 pts (25%). The most common first-line treatment of RT was immunochemotherapy (n=57, 87%) including R-CHOP-like regimen (n=48, 73%). Autologous or allogeneic transplantation was performed for 7 pts (11%). Response to first-line treatment was complete or partial response in 26 pts (40%), and stable disease or progression in 39 pts (60%). After a median follow-up of 8 years, 51/64 pts (80%) have died. The main causes of death were progressive DLBCL (n=36, 71%), infection (n=8, 16%) or progressive CLL (n=2, 4%). The median OS of the cohort from CLL and RT diagnosis (Figure 1) were 7.8 years and 9.5 months, respectively. In univariate analysis, patients with TP53 disruption at CLL stage, low platelets count, elevated LDH, elevated beta2-microglobulin, high ECOG score, high RT score, EBV positivity and absence of response to first-line RT treatment had worse OS. The ECOG score, platelets count and TP53 disruption remain significant in multivariate Cox-regression. Last, we compared the clinical and biological parameters of two Richter groups defined as: (i) short-term survivors (<12 months, n = 34) and (ii) long-term survivors (>48 months, n = 18). Long survival was significantly associated with elevated platelets count, low LDH, low ECOG, low RT score and response to RT first-line treatment. Discussion: The clinical outcomes of RT patients is poor and novel treatment options are needed. However, a group of long-term survivors was identified, characterized by elevated platelets count, low LDH, low ECOG, low RT score and response to immunochemotherapy.
