e24072 Background: The prophylaxis of neutropenia has been evolving from short acting granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSFs) to long acting G-CSFs. The safety and effectiveness of long acting G-CSF in a real-world setting were still lacking. Methods: We performed a multi-center, non-interventional, real-world study to explore the tolerability and effectiveness of mecapegfilgrastim. Different prophylactic strategy (primary or secondary prophylaxis) were compared. The effect of mecapegfilgrastim by means of continuous administration was also explored. Results: This study included 638 patients who had complete the study from May 2019 to November 15, 2020. About half of the participants were breast cancer patients. The mean age of the patients were 56 years. The most frequently reported adverse event possibly related to study drug was white blood cell increase (6.2 %). No unexpected adverse events were reported. Overall, thirty-six (5.6 %) patients experienced grade ≥ 3 neutropenia in chemotherapy cycle one. The patients in the primary and secondary prophylaxis subgroups had incidence of grade ≥ 3 neutropenia of 4.3 % and 9.2 % in chemotherapy cycle one respectively. There was a decreasing trend of neutropenia from cycle one to cycle four when mecapegfilgrastim were administrated continuously. Conclusions: The mecapegfilgrastim was well tolerable and no unexpected adverse events were observed in real-world setting. Primary prophylaxis using mecapegfilgrastim had lower incidence of neutropenia than secondary usage.

e22065 Background: Evaluation of efficacy and safety of vismodegib (V) was done in a retrospective analysis of patients (pts) with locally advanced or multiple basal cell carcinoma (laBCC or multiple BCC) and pts with Goltz-Gorlin Syndrom (G-G Syn) in routine clinical practice. Methods: Baseline characteristics, efficacy data and treatment-related adverse events were collected from 30 laBCC or multiple BCC and 6 G-G Syn pts who were treated with V. Results: In 86-month period, 36 pts were diagnosed with laBCC (18 pts), multiple BCC (12 pts) or G-G Syn (6 pts), all inappropriate for surgery or radiotherapy. Baseline characteristics: median age was 72.6 years in laBCC + multiple BCC pts group and 51.3 years in G-G Syn pts group. Sixty percent of pts in laBCC + multiple BCC group were females; majority (70%) of pts were previously treated by surgery (S) and/or radiotherapy (RT); 43% of pts had 1 lesion with predominant localization in central face (eyes, nose, lips or ears in 84% of pts), 20% had 2-3 lesions and 37% more than 3 lesions. Fifty percent of pts in G-G Syn pts group were males; all pts were previously treated with S and/or RT. The overall response rate (ORR) was 76% in laBCC + multiple BCC and 83% in G-G Syn pts group. Disease control rate (DCR) was 93% in laBCC + multiple BCC and 100% in G-G Syn pts group. Median duration of treatment (DoT) was 7.8 months (range: 1.3-29.8) in laBCC + multiple BCC group and 27.1 months (range: 4.8-86.4) in G-G Syn group. At the time of analysis in laBCC or multiple BCC group one patient died due to other reasons than cancer, in 30% of pts treatment has been interrupted during the treatment course [in most cases due to complete response or adverse events (AEs)], 40% of pts are still on treatment. In G-G Syn group treatment has been interrupted in 50% of pts (in most cases due to adverse events), 67% of pts are still on treatment. AEs of any grade were reported in 97% of pts in laBCC or multiple BCC group and 83% in G-G Syn group. Majority of AEs in laBCC or multiple BCC group were grade 1 or 2 (96%)., 4% of AEs were grade 3: muscle cramps in 3 pts, respiratory infection, vomiting and anemia in 1 patient each. Majority of AEs in G-G Syn group were also grade 1 or 2 (87%), 13% of AEs were grade 3: muscle cramps in 2 pts, weight loss and diarrhea in 1 patient each. No grade 4 or 5 AEs were reported. Conclusions: Vismodegib has shown meaningful efficacy with manageable safety profile in pts with laBCC or multiple BCC as well as in pts with G-G Syn in real world setting.

Abstract Background This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of ramucirumab monotherapy and combination therapy for advanced gastric cancer in the real-world setting. Methods This single-arm, prospective, multicenter, non-interventional, observational, post-marketing study was conducted in Japan from August 2015 to March 2019. Patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer and newly prescribed ramucirumab were followed for up to 12 months after first treatment. Data on adverse events and survival were collected via Electronic Data Capture. Results Of 687 enrolled patients, 658 were eligible for analysis. Most patients received either ramucirumab monotherapy (123/658; 18.7%) or ramucirumab plus paclitaxel combination therapy (528/658; 80.2%). The majority of patients reported ≥ 1 adverse events in both the combination therapy (any grade, 479/528; 90.7%; ≥ Grade 3, 321/528; 60.8%) and monotherapy groups (any grade, 77/123; 62.6%; ≥ Grade 3, 42/123; 34.2%). The most common any grade adverse events were neutropenia (combination: 49.6%; monotherapy: 8.9%), fatigue (combination: 19.5%; monotherapy: 13.8%), and decreased appetite (combination: 18.2%; monotherapy: 10.6%). Grade 5 adverse events were reported in 4 patients, including metastases to meninges, pneumonia aspiration, death, and gastric perforation; of these, gastric perforation was deemed treatment-related. Median survival time was 5.7 months (95% confidence interval: 4.1–6.8 months) following monotherapy and 11.0 months (95% confidence interval: 9.8–12.2 months) following combination therapy. Conclusions This analysis adds to the limited data available on ramucirumab use in a real-world setting, demonstrating similar safety and effectiveness for ramucirumab in treating advanced gastric cancer in routine clinical practice in Japan to that of global clinical trials.

Axial Involvement

Background:Evidence on the efficacy of biologics in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients with axial manifestations affecting 30-70% of PsA patients is limited. Secukinumab (SEC) has provided significant and sustained improvement in the signs and symptoms of active PsA and ankylosing spondylitis.Objectives:This study aims to analyze the experience of using SEC for PsA patients with axial involvement in real-world setting.Methods:Multicentric observational, longitudinal, retrospective study conducted in a tertiary hospital between January 2016 and December 2019. Patients with PsA (CASPAR criteria) and clinical and/or image diagnosis of axial involvement receiving at least one dose of SEC were included. Patients with non-pathological sacroiliacs x-ray and MRI had to have spinal pain VAS ≥4/10 after failure to NSAIDs, prior to the onset of SEC, to be included. Medical records were reviewed to collect demographic and clinical data, features of PsA (manifestations, treatments and activity assessment). Descriptive statistics and then a comparative analysis with the Studentt-test to analyze the effectiveness of SEC were performed.Results:Of 98 PsA patients treated with SEC, 58 (59.2%) had axial involvement, of which 41 (71%) female. Mean age was 54 y.o (SD 10) and average duration of the disease was 10 years (SD 8). All 58 patients had peripheral disease (33% joint erosions), 55 (95%) had psoriasis, 20 (34%) showed dactilitis and 39 (67%) had enthesitis. Sacroiliacs x-ray was damaged in 38 (66%) patients (grade I-IV) and 23 (40%) pathological MRI, with HLAB27+ at 8 (14%) patients. Average BMI was 29 (SD 8), with an obesity rate of 33% (19 pt). Observed comorbidities were hypertension (27 pt, 47%), diabetes mellitus (6 pt, 10%), dyslipidemia (23 pt, 40%), active smoking (18 pt, 31%) and malignancy (6 pt, 10%). Regarding previous treatments, 90% had received cDMARDs, particularly methotrexate (86%) and 40 (69%) had been exposed to at least one bDMARD (15 pt to one, 9 to two, 6 to three and 10 to four or more). 7 patients were on 300 mg dose and 51 patients on 150 mg dose (dose escalation to 300 mg was performed in 16 patients and 44% respond and maintain SEC). Average drug survival time was 1.4 (SD 1) years. At 6 months of SEC therapy, tender and swollen joint count, spinal pain VAS, CRP, ASDAS-CRP and DAPSA had significantly decreased (Table 1). 29 (50%) patients suspended SEC during follow-up due to primary ineffectiveness (8), secondary ineffectiveness (16), adverse events (3), latex allergy (1) and remission (1). Adverse events do not differ from those reported in clinical trials.Table 1.Disease activity assessment at 6 months of secukinumab therapy.Baseline6 months after SECMean differenceP valueSJC4,8±5,41,9±3,1-2,8 (IC95% -3,9 a -1,7)p<0,0001TJC7,7±5,83,9±4,1-3,8 (IC95% -5,1 a -2,4)p<0,0001Spinal pVAS6,1±3,24,2±2,9-1,9 (IC95% -2,4 a -1,4)p<0,0001CRP (mg/L)7,7±9,94,9±5,9-2,9 (IC95% -4,5 a -1,2)p=0,0009ASDAS-CRP2,5±1,91,8±1,3-0,7 (IC95% -0,9 a -0,4)p<0,0001DAPSA27,7±12,116,7±10,4-11 (IC95% -15,3 a -6,8)p<0,0001SJC: swollen joint count, TJC: tender joint count, Spinal pVAS: spinal pain visual analog scale, CRP: C-reactive protein, SEC: secukinumab.Conclusion:Secukinumab in real-world setting provided improvements in the axial and peripheral manifestations of PsA, using both the 150 mg and 300 mg doses.Disclosure of Interests:MARIA MARTIN LOPEZ: None declared, Beatriz Joven-Ibáñez Speakers bureau: Abbvie, Celgene, Janssen, Merck Sharp & Dohme, Novartis, Pfizer, José Luis Pablos: None declared

Abstract BackgroundAccording to the NAPOLI-1 trial, nanoliposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) plus 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5-FU/LV) showed improved overall survival compared to fluorouracil alone for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who previously treated gemcitabine-based therapy. In that trial, Asian patients had frequent dose modification due to hematological toxicity. There has been limited information on the clinical benefit and toxicity of this regimen in a real-world setting. Herein, we assessed real-world experience of nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer after gemcitabine failure.MethodsWe conducted a single institution retrospective analysis of response, survival and safety in patients who had been treated with nal-IRI with 5-FU/LV. Patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma previously treated with gemcitabine-based therapy received nal-IRI (80mg/m2) with 5-FU/LV every 2 weeks. ResultsFifty-one patients received nal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV between January 2015 and December 2020. The median age was 67 years, and males were 58.8%. A total of 40 (78.4%) and 11 (21.6%) patients had received one and two lines of prior chemotherapy before enrollment, respectively. Median progression-free survival was 2.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.8-3.7) and median overall survival was 7.0 months (95% CI 6.0-7.9). Chemotherapy doses were reduced or delayed in 33 (64.7%) patients during the first 6 weeks and median relative dose intensity was 0.87. Thirty-six (70.6%) patients experienced any grade 3 or 4 adverse events. Most common grade 3 or 4 adverse event was neutropenia (58.8%) and most non-hematologic adverse events were under grade 2. Since the start of first-line chemotherapy, median overall survival was 16.3 months (95% CI 14.1-18.4).ConclusionsNal-IRI plus 5-FU/LV seems to be effective, with manageable toxicities, after gemcitabine-based treatment in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Aim: To evaluate sorafenib treatment in Latin American patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma in the real-world GIDEON study. Patients & methods: Sorafenib administration, safety and efficacy were analyzed by Child–Pugh status. Results: Of 90 evaluable patients (37% Child–Pugh A, 46% Child–Pugh B and 3% Child–Pugh C at study entry), 97% started sorafenib at 800 mg/day. Patients with Child–Pugh B7 had the longest median treatment duration of sorafenib (33.1 weeks). Sorafenib-related adverse events occurred in 58% of patients with Child–Pugh A (21% grade 3/4) and 46% with Child–Pugh B (7% grade 3/4). Conclusion: Sorafenib had a similar safety profile across patients with Child–Pugh A and B and is a treatment option for both groups.
