e21032 Background: Previous studies suggested that MET exon 14 ( METex14) mutation regarding as a distinct subset was sensitive to MET-inhibitors, but poorly response to immunotherapy. Conversly, MET non-exon-14 (non-ex14) mutations including those undetermined functions and affecting the kinase or extracellular domains were found to be associated with the resistance to MET-inhibitors. However, therapeutic strategies for MET-non-ex14 mutant cancer are still largely unknown, and the relationship between MET-non-ex14 mutations and the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has never been reported. Using two public ICIs-treated cohorts, we aimed to assess the role of MET mutations including both METex14 and MET-non-ex14 mutations in NSCLC patients undergoing ICIs therapy. Methods: A total of 385 ICIs-treated NSCLC patients were enrolled to our study. MET mutations were defined as any nonsynonymous mutations, and we divided them into METex14 and MET-non-ex14 mutation subsets according to the mutated-position on MET. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze the difference of tumor mutational burden (TMB) score, and the Fisher’s exact test was applied to compare the rates of durable clinical benefit (DCB). Log-rank test was used to analyze the differences between Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Results: In the entire cohort, we found that 17 patients (17/385, 4.4%) had MET mutations, most of which were pure METex14 mutations (10/17, 58.8%). The median TMB of patients in the entire NSCLC cohort was 6.89 mut/Mb. MET-non-ex14 mutant patients (7/385, 1.8%) possessed a significantly higher TMB than METex14-mutant (10/385, 2.6%) and MET wild-type (368/385, 95.6%) sub-cohorts, respectively (median TMB, 17.92 mut/Mb versus 4.17 mut/Mb, p = 0.008; 17.92 mut/Mb versus 6.96 mut/Mb, p = 0.01, respectively). DCB was more common in patients harbored MET-non-ex14 mutations than patients with METex14 mutations and MET wild-type (66.7% versus 14.3%, p = 0.103; 66.7% versus 29.9%, p = 0.075, respectively). We found that patients with MET-non-ex14 mutations had a numerically longer progression free survival (PFS) than those with METex14 mutations and MET wild-type (p = 0.169). Moreover, the PFS was significantly longer in MET-non-ex14-mutant subgroup than patients with METex14 mutations (median PFS, 9.1 versus 2.1 months, p = 0.025). Correspondingly, the overall survival (OS) was significantly longer in MET-non-ex14-mutant subgroup than their wild-type counterparts (median OS, not reached versus 11 months, p = 0.039). Additionally, patients with MET-non-ex14 mutations exhibited relatively better OS versus METex14-mutant patients (median OS, not reached versus 18 months, p = 0.175). Conclusions: MET-non-ex14 mutations were associated with higher TMB, improved DCB rate, and could act as a favorable prognostic biomarker in ICIs-treated NSCLC patients.

426 Background: In an open-label, phase IV study of sunitinib as 1st-line treatment (Tx) in Chinese pts with mRCC, median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 61.7 and 133.4 wk, respectively; objective response rate (ORR) was 31.1% (Ann Oncol 2012;23:851P). We retrospectively investigated correlations between on-Tx hypertension (HTN), neutropenia (N), and thrombocytopenia (T) and efficacy endpoints in pts from this trial. Methods: HTN was defined by either maximum systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg (S-HTN) or maximum diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg (D-HTN). Using CTCAE assessment, N grade ≥2 and T grade >1 were used as cut-points for the analyses. Median PFS and OS were estimated by Kaplan−Meier method. The log-rank test was used to compare PFS and OS between groups with and without HTN, N grade ≥2, or T grade >1. Fisher’s exact test was used for ORR. Results: 102 pts were included in the HTN analyses, 60% with S-HTN versus 40% without S-HTN. Pts with S-HTN had greater ORR and longer PFS and OS than pts without S-HTN (Table). (Results were similar with D-HTN; see Table.) 103 pts were included in the N and T analyses, 67% with N grade ≥2 versus 33% with N grade <2, and 56% with T grade >1 versus 44% with T grade ≤1. Pts with N grade ≥2 had significantly greater ORR and significantly longer PFS and OS than pts with N grade <2 (Table). Pts with T grade >1 had greater ORR and significantly longer PFS and OS than pts with T grade ≤1 (Table). Conclusions: The developments of N grade ≥2 and T grade >1 during Tx with sunitinib were significantly associated with better outcome. Median PFS was more than twice as long for pts with S-HTN as for those without S-HTN, but the association did not reach statistical significance. [Table: see text]

92 Background: ToGA study showed superiority of adding T-mab to standard chemotherapy and a positive correlation between HER2 expression levels and the T-mab efficacy. In gastric cancer IHH is frequently recognized but its clinical impact on T-mab efficacy is unclear. Methods: Patients who were treated with T-mab and had surgical specimens available for IHC test were retrospectively examined. When all tumor cells overexpressed HER2 protein by IHC, the tumor was defined as non-HER2-heterogeneous. The others were defined as HER2-heterogeneous. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using by Kaplan-Meier methods and compared by the log-rank test. The level of significance was set to p<0.05 and all statistical tests were two-sided. Results: 23 patients were enrolled. Their median age was 68 years and 83% were male. PS 0, GEJ cancer, intestinal type histology, visceral metastasis (lung or liver), and previous chemotherapy were found in 57%, 35%, 83%, 57%, and 57% of them, respectively. After a median follow-up of 11.3 months, the median OS, PFS, and overall response rate were 14.4 months, 10.8 months, and 62.5%, respectively. All tumors were IHC3+, and 13 were non-HER2-heterogeneous and 10 were HER2-heterogeneous. There was no significant difference in clinicopathological features between the two groups. Median PFS in non-HER2-heterogeneous group (21.9 months) was significantly longer than that in HER2-heterogeneous group (8.6 months), (HR: 0.24 [0.06-0.91], P=0.024). Median OS in non-HER2-heterogeneous group was not reached while that in HER2-heterogeneous group was 12.9 months (HR: 0.29 [0.06-1.42], P=0.102). A higher rate of response to T-mab was seen in non-HER2-heterogeneous group than in HER2-heterogeneous group, though the difference was not statistically significant (75% vs. 50%, p=0.608). Conclusions: IHH might have robust clinical impact on T-mab efficacy for HER2 positive GC. These findings should be validated by independent large cohorts and further molecular correlative analyses are warranted.

e20710 Background: Currently, prognostic markers associated with immunotherapy treatment outcomes in patients with metastatic NSCLC include PDL-1 expression, tumor mutational burden (TBM), and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR). In this study we examine the influence of pretreatment changes in weight, BMI, and NLR in 237 patients treated with anti-PD-1/PDL-1 therapy (ICI) at our institution. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of previously-treated stage IV NSCLC patients who received ICI. Pretreatment (≥ 6 weeks before starting therapy) values of weight, BMI, and NLR were compared to baseline values and NLR was analyzed as continuum and according to standard cutoffs of 3.5 and 5. The same variables were correlated with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) using the Log-Rank test. Results: 237 patients were analyzed: 45% were male, 73% were Caucasian, 72% were former smokers, and 25% were age ≥ 75 years. 148 patients had pretreatment NLR values. Of these, 32% had a ratio < 3.5 and 54% had ratio < 5. 34% had increased NLR at baseline, the majority of which (48/77) had a > 5% increase. 187 patients had pretreatment weight and BMI. Of these, 14% had a pretreatment BMI < 20. 71% had a negative change in BMI and 29% had a > 5% decrease in BMI. 65% had a negative change in weight and 26% had a > 5% decrease in weight. BMI decrease greater than 5% (p = 0.0039), negative weight change (p = 0.0371), and pretreatment NLR > 5 (p = 0.0136) were associated with shorter PFS. Change in NLR trended towards decreased PFS but was not statistically significant (p = 0.07) though only 77 of 237 patients had both values available. There was no statistical PFS difference between patients less than or ≥ 75 years old. Conclusions: The results suggest that decrease in pretreatment BMI and weight along with high baseline NLR are associated with significantly shorter PFS in NSCLC treated with anti-PD-1/PDL-1 therapy. If confirmed, these observations raise the possibility that specific treatment which reverses cancer associated weight loss might enhance effectiveness of immunotherapy.

e17088 Background: Immuno-oncology (IO) treatment demonstrated to improve Overall Survival (OS) in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). The prognostic impact of previous citoreductive nephrectomy (CN) and radical nephrectomy with curative intent in patients (pts) treated with IO is not well defined. Methods: 229 eligible pts, with a least one radiological assessment of response according to the RECIST 1:1 criteria, were retrospectively collected from 16 Italian referral centers. Baseline characteristics, outcome data including progression-free survival (PFS) and OS were collected. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were performed to compare PFS and OS between groups. Results: 153(66.8%) pts received IO as second line, 61(26.6%) as third line and 15(6.6%) pts as further line. 54 pts (23.6%) were good risk, 144(62.9%) were intermediate and 31(13.5%) were poor risk according to IMDC score. 189(82.5%) pts underwent nephrectomy (of them 72(32.4%) pts had synchronous metastatic disease and underwent CN), while 40(17.4%) pts did not. Nephrectomy was performed before IO treatment. ECOG PS, at the beginning of IO, was 0 for 167 pts (72.9%), the other 62 (27.1%) had ECOG PS 1 or 2. At a median follow up time of 17.5 months (mo), 13 (5.7%) pts are still in treatment while 216 (94.3%) experienced progression. 81 (35.3%) pts were treated after IO progression with mTOR and VEGFR inhibitors. 63 (27.5%) pts continued IO beyond progression. G3-G4 iAE were reported in 46 pts (20%). Median IO-PFS was 4.5 months in pts who did not undergo nephrectomy and 2.9 mo in pts who did (HR log rank 0.713, 95%CI 0.4788 to 1.063; p= 0.0582). Median IO-OS was 18.4 mo in pts who underwent nephrectomy and 10.3 mo in pts who did not (HR log rank 1.915, 95%CI 1.118 to 3.281; p= 0.0024). The difference in OS was irrespective of the IMDC criteria and the lines of treatment. Conclusions: In our real world experience, in mRCC pts treated with IO, previous nephrectomy was associated with a better outcome in terms of OS with all the limitations of a retrospective collection.

e16630 Background: Nivolumab, an anti-PD1 antibody, is FDA approved in patients (pts) with HCC. Anti-PD-1 promotes hyperstimulation of host immunity and is associated with a spectrum of toxicities known as immune-related adverse events (irAEs). In other malignancies, higher rates of irAEs are associated with improved cancer outcomes. This study shows correlation between irAEs and efficacy in pts with HCC treated with nivolumab. Methods: Demographic and toxicity data were collected retrospectively on all pts with HCC treated with nivolumab at a single institution from Jan 2012 – Sept 2019. Response was evaluated using RECISTv1.1. Adverse events were assessed according to CTCAEv5.0. Categorical variables were assessed by Fisher's exact test. Survival was estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed by the Cox-regression model. Results: 30 pts were treated; irAEs were detected in 16 (53%). There was no difference in baseline characteristics among those who did and did not experience irAEs (Table). The most frequent irAEs were elevated AST/ALT (n = 7; 44%), rash (n = 4; 25%), and hypothyroid (n = 4; 25%). 3 G3 (rash and transaminitis) and 1 G4 AE (pured red cell apalasia) were observed. Among all pts, overall response rate (RR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 13 and 50%, respectively. Median progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 27 and 56 weeks (w), respectively. The RR and DCR were higher among irAEs vs non-irAEs, although this did not reach statistical significance (RR 25 vs 0%; p = 0.05; DCR 62 vs 35%; p = 0.19). Median PFS and OS were longer in those with irAEs vs non-irAE; PFS 33 vs 16 w (HR: 0.26; CI 95%: 0.076-0.89; p = 0.028); (OS 69 vs 21 w HR: 0.18; CI 95%: 0.05-0.58; p = 0.002). On multivariate analysis, viral etiology was associated with prolonged PFS (p = 0.002) and MELD was associated with reduced OS (p = 0.004). Conclusions: Development of irAEs was associated with prolonged PFS and OS in pts with HCC treated with nivolumab. Further study is needed to determine whether type of irAE, onset time, or duration affect cancer outcomes. [Table: see text]

631 Background: Sunitinib remains an important treatment option for mRCC, but the effect of comorbidities/comedications on sunitinib treatment outcomes have not been fully explored. Methods: Data were collated from STAR-TOR, an ongoing real-world registry. Cutoff date for analysis was 19 June 2019. This subgroup analysis assessed the presence or absence of hypertension (HTN), and the use or non-use of statins and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), determined at the time of entry to the registry. Treatment endpoints were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR). OS and PFS were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier methods. Differences within subgroups were tested using Log-rank test for OS and PFS, and Fisher’s exact test for ORR. Results: 557 sunitinib-treated pts were analyzed; 366 had HTN and 191 did not, 130 used statins and 427 did not, and 165 used PPIs and 392 did not. Median (m) OS (95% confidence intervals) was similar in pts with and without HTN (25.4 [21.1, 31.5] vs 21.5 [15.2, 28.0] months; p = 0.215). mPFS (8.0 [6.5, 9.9] vs 6.3 [5.4, 8.2] months; p = 0.140) and ORR (31.2% vs 30.9%; p = 1.000) were also similar in pts with and without HTN. mOS was similar in pts who used statins vs those who did not (27.8 [20.2, 35.4] vs 24.0 [19.4, 27.3] months; p = 0.884), while mPFS was significantly longer in pts who used statins (9.4 [6.5, 13.6] vs 6.9 [5.7, 8.2] months; p = 0.044). ORR was 37.8% vs 29.0% in pts who did and did not use statins (p = 0.072). mOS was significantly shorter in pts who used PPIs vs those who did not (20.2 [14.9, 28.3] vs 25.7 [22.7, 33.0] months; p = 0.021). mPFS (5.8 [4.6, 8.2] vs 8.0 [6.5, 9.8] months; p = 0.091) and ORR (26.6% vs 33.0%; p = 0.177) were similar in pts who did and did not use PPIs. Conclusions: In sunitinib-treated pts with mRCC in a real-world registry, mPFS was significantly longer and there was a trend toward better ORR in pts who used statins, whereas mOS was significantly shorter and there was a trend toward shorter mPFS in pts who used PPIs. Common comedications may affect sunitinib treatment outcomes in pts with mRCC.

565 Background: Polymorphisms in fragment C receptor (FcγR) are expected as a predictive biomarker of cetuximab (Cmab). Previous studies have convincingly confirmed the distributions (dists) of FcγR polymorphisms in Western population and shown the existence of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between FcγRIIa and FcγRIIIa polymorphisms. Meanwhile, the dists in Asian population have been unknown but a few studies for non-cancer patients have suggested the difference in dists between Asian and Western populations. We investigated the dists of FcγR polymorphisms and their association with clinical response to Cmab in Japanese mCRC patients. Methods: Ninety-three patients with irinotecan/oxaliplatin/5-FU-refractory mCRC and treated by Cmab plus irinotecan or Cmab monotherapy were retrospectively registered from 8 centers in Japan. FcγR polymorphisms were determined from genomic DNA extracted from peripheral blood samples based on the Multiplex allele-specific PCR method. Comparisons according to FcγR polymorphisms were evaluated using Fisher's exact test for response rate (RR) and log-rank test for progression-free survival curves (PFS). Results: The dists of FcγRIIa HH/HR/RR and FcγRIIIa VV/VF/FF were 68/30/2% and 4/40/56%, respectively (Table). The absence of LD between FcγRIIa and FcγRIIIa polymorphisms was confirmed (GENEPOP, p=0.526; Linkdis, p=0.146). Of 74 patients with KRAS wild-type and treated by Cmab plus irinotecan, no difference according to FcγR polymorphisms was observed in either RR (IIa: HH 37% vs. HR/RR 36%, p=1.00; IIIa: VV/VF 39% vs. FF 35%, p= 0.81) or PFS curves (IIa: HH vs. HR/RR, p=0.84; IIIa: VV/VF vs. FF, p=0.09). Similar results were seen in patients treated by cetuximab monotherapy. Conclusions: This study clarified an ethnic difference in the frequencies of FcγR polymorphisms. Associations between the polymorphisms and clinical response to Cmab did not reach a statistical significance. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e20526 Background: The most frequent genetic alteration in advanced NSCLC is KRASm in ~25% of tumors. This event associates with smoking pattern and high mutational burden, which correlate with the efficacy of CI in NSCLC. There is in silico evidence that coexisting KRASm and TP53m positively impact immuneCI benefit , but this association needs clinical validation. Methods: We retrospectively assess the efficacy of PD-1/PDL-1 CI (atezolizumab, pembrolizumab, nivolumab or durvalumab) in a cohort of NSCLC patients whose tumors were KRASm (with or without coexisting TP53m) as assessed by a next-generation sequencing test. Endpoints were clinical benefit rate (CBR), defined as partial response or stable disease > 4 months (m), and time to progression (TTP) on immuneCI. Fisher-exact test and log-rank test P values are described. Results: 25 pacients were identified, 68% female, median age 54 y (33-75), 95% former/current smoker; 95% adenocarcinoma; 59% with 2 or more metastatic sites; 36% immuneCI as third-line or beyond (median time from first-line to immuneCI of 7.5 m). 20 tumors had KRASm in codon 12, 3 codon 13 and 2 in codon 61. Overall, CBR was 36% (CI95% 19%-57%) and median TTP was 3.7 m (CI95% 2.2-NA). Coexisting KRASm/ TP53m (n = 11) did not associate with higher CB (27% vs 50%, p = 0.56). A trend for lower TTP in the KRASm/ TP53m vs TP53 wild-type was observed (2.1 vs 5.6 m, HR 0.3; p = 0.11). Conclusions: NSCLC patients whose tumors are KRASm can have substantial benefit with immuneCI. In our series, the population with KRASm/ TP53m tumors did not derive higher clinical benefit from this therapeutic intervention

Purpose. This study retrospectively evaluated overall survival (OS) by treatment of recurrent or metastatic uterine adenosarcoma including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy and evaluated OS and progression-free survival (PFS) after 1st line systemic chemotherapy. Methods. 78 patients with recurrent or metastatic adenosarcoma comprised the study population. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate OS and PFS. The log-rank test was performed to test the difference in survival between groups. Results. Median OS from diagnosis of recurrent or metastatic disease was 1.8 yrs. OS was influenced by pathology on recurrence, p=0.035. Median OS differed by surgery for 1st recurrence 26.3 months versus 15.1 months. OS was not influenced by chemotherapy, p=0.58, palliative radiation, p=0.58, or hormonal therapy, p=0.15. The response rate (CR + PR) per RECIST 1.1 for chemotherapy was 31.2% for doxorubicin-based regimens and 14.3% for gemcitabine/docetaxel. OS since 1st line chemotherapy was not significantly different among chemotherapy regimens. However, the median PFS was superior for doxorubicin/ifosfamide (15.4 months) compared to gemcitabine/docetaxel (5.0 months), platinum-based regimens (5.7 mo), or other doxorubicin-based regimens (6.5 months). Conclusion. These results suggest that surgery is an important treatment modality for recurrent or metastatic uterine adenosarcoma, and the most effective chemotherapeutics are doxorubicin/ifosfamide and gemcitabine/docetaxel.

142 Background: AA + prednisone (P) significantly increased OS, time to opiate use, and was well tolerated at the COU-AA-302 final analysis. Here we further characterize OS benefit adjusting for crossover therapy and for baseline prognostic factors. Methods: Patients (N = 1,088) were randomized 1:1 to receive AA (1 g) + P (5 mg po BID) vs P. Co-primary end points were radiographic progression-free survival and OS. Median time to events with 95% CI was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Stratified log-rank test was used to test the difference in treatment effect. Adjustment for crossover utilized the iterative parameter estimate (IPE) and impact of baseline prognostic factors was examined via the multivariate Cox proportional hazard model. Results: With a median follow-up of 49.2 months and 741 deaths (96% of required), AA + P significantly reduced the risk of death vs P (19%) and prolonged median OS (34.7 vs 30.3 months) (Table). 44% of patients initially receiving P alone subsequently received AA + P as crossover per protocol (17%) or as subsequent therapy (27%). IPE adjustment resulted in a 26% reduction in the risk of death (Table). By multivariate analysis, AA + P treatment led to a 21% reduction in the risk of death; baseline prostate-specific antigen (PSA), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), hemoglobin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone metastases, and age were significant OS prognostic factors (Table). Conclusions: AA + P yielded a statistically significant improvement in OS. Greater improvement in OS was observed after adjusting for the 44% of patients originally on P who ultimately received AA + P. Adjusting for baseline prognostic factors also demonstrated an AA + P OS benefit. Clinical trial information: NCT00887198. [Table: see text]
