e16578 Background: Cabozantinib is a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor and getting attention in these days through its combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors. In this article, we analyze the efficacy of cabozantinib in patients with metastatic ccRCC in Korean who had progression after 1 or more VEGFR TKI therapies. Methods: Seventy-five patients from Jan.2019 to Dec. 2021 at Yonsei Cancer Center who had received cabozantinib treatment in second to fourth line of therapy were retrospectively reviewed. The primary endpoint was PFS. The secondary outcomes were the response rate, disease control rate (DCR), and OS. The evaluable subjects for efficacy were those who had at least one response evaluation. Results: Among 75 patients, 57 (76.0%) were male and median age was 59 years (range 33-81). Median follow up time was 12.1 months. There were 22 (29.3%) patients of second line, 38 (50.7%) of third line and 15 (20.0%) of fourth line of treatment. Median PFS was 5.6 months (95% CI, 4.6-6.6). Median OS was 13.6 months (95% CI, 5.0-22.2). The PFS based on the line of treatment was 4.7 months for second line, 5.6 months for third line and 12.0 months for 4th line. Proportion of patients who were previously treated with ICI was different between treatment line groups and showed increasing trend toward later line; 13.6% of second line, 31.6% of third line, and 66.7% of fourth line, respectively. The objective response rate was 8.0% with 6 patients of partial response. The DCR was 69.3%. The major toxicities were similar with the western population and most of them were less than CTCAE grade 3. Most common grade 3 or 4 AEs were anemia, hand-foot syndrome, fatigue, and stomatitis. There were no grade 5 AEs. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that cabozantinib is an effective treatment option after first line TKI in Korean ccRCC patients with manageable toxicities. Notably, its tolerability in the advanced line of treatment and synergy with ICIs are suggested in this study despite heterogeneous patients of real world setting. This is the first real world data with cabozantinib in Asian patients.

AIMS: The real-world data regarding the response rates, tolerability, and toxicities of immunotherapy is very limited. The aim of this study is to analyze these characteristics in patients who have received immunotherapy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) or urothelial cancer (UC). Methods: Retrospective review of patients over a year from 2017–2018 diagnosed with metastatic RCC and UC in our institute who received checkpoint inhibitors was done. PFS and OS were calculated. Results: A total of 16 patients, 11 with metastatic RCC and 5 patients with Metastatic UC were included in this study. All patients were male and Median age was 57.5 years. Median Number of cycles administered was 6. 50% of patients had a partial response to treatment, 16.6% of patients had stable disease and 33.3% of patients had progressive disease. There were no complete responses to therapy. Median Follow up was 9 months. The median PFS of the whole cohort was 6 months, while in RCC was 6 months and in UC was 1 month. Median OS of the whole cohort is 7 months, while the median OS for RCC and UC were 7 months and 3 months respectively. Fatigue was the most common adverse effect noted and Anaemia was the most common hematological side effect seen with immunotherapy in this study. Conclusion: This is real-world data of the use of the immune checkpoint inhibitors in the resource-limited setting. The benefit of Immune checkpoint inhibitors may in advanced renal cell cancers and Urothelial cancers may be different from that seen in the Western population.

BackgroundICI revolutionized modern Oncology landscape and being utilized in metastatic to adjuvant and neo-adjuvant settings. As Oncologists, we are treating cancer patients with ICI every day, yet there is still a lot that is unknown about these drugs. We don’t have clear understanding of the efficacy and toxicity when sequencing one ICI for another. We conducted a retrospective review of real world data at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center to understand further and to pave path for prospective studies to understand this issue further to improve patient care.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed Oncology patient charts who received ICI between January1, 2014 to December 18, 2018. Total 483 patients received ICI during this time frame and 22 of these patients received a second ICI either as monotherapy or in combination with other ICI or chemotherapy.ResultsA total of 22 patients received subsequent ICI after the initial ICI as showed in table 1. 15 of the 22 (68%) patients were transitioned from one ICI to another monotherapy. 11 of these patients were transitioned secondary to disease progression (73%), three had immune related adverse events and one was switched per standard of care. One patient had ICI re-challenge. Three patients had a transition from ICI monotherapy to combination ICI therapy. One patient went onto chemo-immunotherapy and 2 patients transitioned from combination ICI to chemo-immunotherapy.Abstract 284 Table 1Real world data of sequencing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) after initial ICIConclusionsICI therapy is evolving and patients are being treated with multiple lines of ICI. In current practices, ICI is frequently being transitioned from cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or its ligand, programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) classes or combined with chemotherapy or targeted therapy. It would be prudent to explore the effects of sequencing these medications either as a monotherapy or in combination with other therapies to better serve our patients and to prevent financial toxicity.

446 Background: Several PD-1 immune-checkpoint inhibitors including Nivolumab (Nivo) are approved in urothelial cancer. Recently, in the front line setting, improved activity of combined PD-L1 and CTLA4 immune-checkpoint inhibition has been reported and a phase III trial with Nivolumab + Ipilimumab (Nivo+Ipi) is ongoing. Here we report a response-based tailored approach starting treatment with Nivo monotherapy using Nivo+Ipi as immunotherapeutic “boost”. Methods: Between July 2017 and April 2019 86 patients were enrolled and treated according to protocol version 3 (cohort 1). Patients started with Nivo 240 mg Q2W induction. After 4 dosings and tumor assessment at week 8 (i) responders (PR/CR) to Nivo monotherapy continued with maintenance while (ii) patients with stable (SD) or progressive disease (PD) received 2 cycles Nivo3+Ipi1 followed by another 2 cycles Nivo1+Ipi3 if not responding. Median follow-up is 8.7 months. The primary endpoint is confirmed investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST1.1. Secondary endpoints include activity of Nivo monotherapy at week 8, remission rate with Nivo+Ipi “boosts”, safety, overall survival and quality of life. Results: Of the patients 42, 39 and 5 were first, second and third line, respectively. Median age was 67 years (range 45-84), 61 patients (71 %) were male and 25 female. ORR with Nivo monotherapy at first assessment (week 8) was 29 % and 23 % in first and second/third line, respectively. Of the patients 41 received Nivo+Ipi “boosts” after week 8 while 12 received later “boosts”. Best overall response (BOR) rate with Nivo induction ± Nivo+Ipi “boosts” was 48 % and 27 % in first and second/third line, respectively. In first line 7/17 (41 %) patients receiving Nivo+Ipi after week 8 had an improved response compared to 2/24 (8.3 %) in second/third line. Of the patients who continued with Nivo maintenance after week 8 and received later “boosts” 2/12 (17 %) had a PR and 2/12 (17 %) improved to SD. Treatment-related AEs will be presented. Conclusions: TITAN–TCC explores a response-driven use of Nivo+Ipi as an immunotherapeutic “boost”. In first line, this significantly improved ORR compared to the expected response rate of Nivo monotherapy, providing further evidence to the added value of Ipi in combination with Nivo. Further follow-up is ongoing to characterize duration and depth of response. Clinical trial information: NCT03219775 . Research Sponsor: Bristol-Myers Squibb[Table: see text]

Abstract Introduction: This study is aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sintilimab combined with albumin-bound paclitaxel/ cisplatin as a second-line treatment in these patients with relapsed or refractory extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Methods and Materials: ES-SCLC patients received a second-line regimen of sintilimab combined with albumin-bound paclitaxel/cisplatin. Albumin-bound paclitaxel/cisplatin can be used for up to 6 cycles. Sintilimab use was not stopped until the disease progressed or untolerable side effects occurred. After 2 cycles of chemotherapy or when the patient's condition progressed significantly, computed tomography was rechecked to observe the clinical curative effect and adverse reactions. Results: Totally 38 patients with recurrent SCLC were included for efficacy evaluation. The objective response rate and disease control rate were 26.3% and 84.2% respectively. The median PFS and OS were 6.5 months (95% CI: 3.8-7.8) and 10.8 months (95% CI: 8.5-16.2), respectively. The main adverse reactions are bone marrow suppression, alopecia, peripheral neurotoxicity, muscle and joint pain, gastrointestinal reactions, and fatigue. The severe adverse reactions (grade 3-4) are mainly leukopenia (21.1%), neutropenia (21.1%) and decreased hemoglobin (7.9%). No significant correlation was found between PD-L1 expression and efficacy.Conclusion: Sintilimab combined with albumin-bound paclitaxel/cisplatin has a positive effect on the treatment of ES-SCLC, and the adverse reactions are tolerable.

281 Background: TACE and lenvatinib has each shown to prolong overall survival in patients with unresectable HCC, combination of which may also improve clinical outcomes and have been widely used in the real world accordingly. However, the optimal timing of adding on lenvatinb to TACE remains unclear. We are aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety between two combination strategies. Methods: From Nov 2018 to Jun 2020, 79 consecutive patients had received a combination treatment of lenvatinib and TACE. Patients followed up for more than 2 months were included in this analysis. They were classified as early-combination group(add on lenvatinib before or after the first TACE ) and late-combination group(add on lenvatinib after at least two procedures of TACE ). Tumor response and progression-free survival (PFS,time from the first day of prescribing lenvatinib to progression or death) were assessed according to RECIST1.1 criteria. Liver function were also evaluated at baseline and every 2 months later. AEs were recorded during the combination treatment period according to CTCAE 5.0. Results: A total of 48 u-HCC patients was finally enrolled. Median follow-up in all patients was 9.3(5.3-14.3)months. Patients’ baseline characteristics were similar in two groups. For early-combination group(n=22)and late-combination group(n=26), the mean age was 65±9.7 and 61±11.6years(p=0.2);BCLC stage C HCC was 59% and 54%(p=0.89);and Child-Pugh A proportion was 81.8% and 77%(p=0.73) respectively. The objective response rate(ORR) was 22.9% in total 48 cases. There was no significant difference in response rate (18.2% vs 26.9%, P=0.51) or disease control rate (90.9% vs 92.3%, P=1.00). Median PFS was significantly longer in the early-combination group than that in late-combination group (14.5 vs 8.9 months; p=0.048). The safety profile was similar between two groups. Grade 3/4 adverse events were 3 (13.6%) and 2 cases(7.7%) respectively (P=0.65). Conclusions: This is to date the first real-world data of the combination timing of lenvatinib with TACE in u-HCC patients. Early-combination strategy may be a better option for the u-HCC patients with a longer mPFS.

Background: Neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) are a rare group of tumors with different prognosis and response to therapy. Their heterogeneity is dependent on the site of origin, morphology and Ki67. Temozolomide (TEM) appears to be active in metastatic NENs (mNENs) but there is limited evidence about its efficacy in gastrointestinal NENs. We analyzed “real-world” data on the use of TEM alone or in association with capecitabine (CAPTEM) in patients with mNENs. Patients and Methods: One hundred consecutive patients with advanced NENs treated with TEM or CAPTEM between 2009 and 2019 were included. A pre-treatment tumor growth rate (TGR0) was calculated. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), tolerance, objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were analyzed. A propensity score analysis and inverse probability of treatment weights for Cox-regression models were used. Results: TEM-based therapy was administered to 95 patients (26.3% CAPTEM and 83.7% TEM) with a median age of 59 years (range 26-85) years. ECOG performance status was 0-2. Carcinoid syndrome was reported in 12 (12.6%) patients. Twenty (21.1%) patients with grade (G) 3 neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) and 9 (9.4%) with G3 neuroendocrine tumors (NET) were included in the analysis. Median PFS of the entire group was 10.4 months (95% confidence interval (CI):6.0-11.5). In multivariate analysis, a higher risk of progression was observed for NEC G3 patients (hazard ratio (HR) 2.70, 95%CI:1.25-5.84) and for a TGR ≥19.55 (HR:2.53, 95%CI:1.45-4.40). Median OS was 23.4 months (95%CI: 17.0-29.0) and was similar in both treatment groups (23.9 vs. 20.5 months for TEM and CAPTEM, respectively, p =0.585). In multivariate analysis, TGR ≥19.55 was associated with a higher risk of death (HR:2.18, 95%CI:1.16-4.11) than TGR<19.55, as was NEC G3 (HR: 2.42, 95%CI:1.04-5.59) with respect to NETs. No differences in terms of mPFS or mOS were seen in relation to the primary site of disease. In the 86 patients evaluable for response, ORR was 44.1% and the DCR was 70.9%. Mild adverse events (grade I-II) included anemia, neutropenia and headache. Rare cases of grade 3 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were recorded. Conclusions: TEM-based regimens are associated with a high DCR and a relatively tolerable toxicity profile in NEN of pancreatic, intestinal and lung origin. Further investigation of these specific NETs is warranted in prospective clinical trials.
