LBA2 Background: Gemcitabine-cisplatin (GP) chemotherapy is the standard 1st line treatment for locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic (r/m) NPC. Toripalimab, a humanized IgG4K monoclonal antibody specific for PD-1, provided durable responses in patients (pts) with r/m NPC as monotherapy in the ≥2nd line setting (POLARIS-02 study). The results of JUPITER-02, a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded Phase III trial of toripalimab in combination with GP chemotherapy as first-line treatment for r/m NPC are summarized. Methods: Pts with advanced NPC with no prior chemotherapy in the r/m setting were randomized (1:1) to receive toripalimab 240 mg or placebo d1 in combination with gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 d1, d8 and cisplatin 80 mg/m2 d1 every 3 weeks (Q3W) for up to 6 cycles, followed by monotherapy with toripalimab or placebo Q3W until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or completion of 2 years of treatment. Stratification factors were ECOG PS (0 vs. 1) and extent of disease (recurrent vs. primary metastatic) at enrollment. Progression-free survival (PFS) and response were assessed by independent review committee (IRC) per RECIST v1.1. The primary endpoint was PFS by IRC in the ITT population. Secondary end points included ORR, DOR and OS. There was one prespecified interim analysis of PFS at 130 PFS events with a planned final analysis at 200 PFS events. Results: 289 pts were randomized: 146 to the toripalimab arm and 143 to the placebo arm. By May 30, 2020 as the interim analysis cutoff date, the median treatment duration was 39 weeks in the toripalimab arm and 36 weeks in the placebo arm. A significant improvement in PFS was detected for the toripalimab arm compared to the placebo arm (HR = 0.52 [95% CI: 0.36-0.74] two-sided p = 0.0003), with median PFS of 11.7 vs. 8.0 months. The 1-year PFS rates were 49% and 28% respectively. An improvement in PFS was observed across relevant subgroups, including all PD-L1 subgroups. The ORR was 77.4% vs. 66.4% (P = 0.033) and the median DOR was 10.0 vs. 5.7 months (HR = 0.50 [95% CI: 0.33-0.78]). As of Jan 15, 2021, OS was not mature, with 25 deaths in the toripalimab arm and 35 in the placebo arm (HR = 0.68 [95% CI: 0.41-1.14], P = 0.14). The incidence of Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) (89.0% vs 89.5%); AEs leading to discontinuation of toripalimab/placebo (7.5% vs 4.9%); and fatal AEs (2.7% vs 2.8%) were similar between two arms; however, immune-related (irAEs) (39.7% vs. 18.9%) and Grade ≥3 irAEs (7.5% vs. 0.7%) were more frequent in the toripalimab arm. Conclusions: The addition of toripalimab to GP chemotherapy as 1st-line treatment for pts with advanced NPC provided superior PFS and ORR and longer DOR than GP alone with a manageable safety profile. These results support the use of toripalimab with GP chemotherapy as the new standard care for this population. Clinical trial information: NCT03581786.

PurposeThis phase III study compared the safety and efficacy of the following three different irinotecan-containing regimens in the first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer: irinotecan plus infusional fluorouracil (FU)/leucovorin (LV) (FOLFIRI), irinotecan plus bolus FU/LV (mIFL), and irinotecan plus oral capecitabine (CapeIRI).Patients and MethodsA total of 430 previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer patients were randomly assigned to receive FOLFIRI (n = 144), mIFL (n = 141), or CapeIRI (n = 145). Patients were concurrently randomly assigned to a double-blind treatment with celecoxib or placebo. After a protocol amendment, an additional 117 patients were randomly assigned to either FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab (FOLFIRI+Bev; n = 57) or mILF plus bevacizumab (mIFL+Bev; n = 60), whereas the CapeIRI arm was discontinued. The primary study end point was progression-free survival (PFS), with secondary end points of overall survival (OS), response rate, and toxicity.ResultsMedian PFS was 7.6 months for FOLFIRI, 5.9 months for mIFL (P = .004 for the comparison with FOLFIRI), and 5.8 months for CapeIRI (P = .015). Median OS was 23.1 months for FOLFIRI, 17.6 months for mIFL (P = .09), and 18.9 months for CapeIRI (P = .27). CapeIRI was associated with higher rates of severe vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration. After the amendment to add bevacizumab, the median survival time has not yet been reached for FOLFIRI+Bev and was 19.2 months for mIFL+Bev (P = .007). FOLFIRI+Bev was associated with a higher rate of ≥ grade 3 hypertension than mIFL+Bev.ConclusionFOLFIRI and FOLFIRI+Bev offered superior activity to their comparators and were comparably safe. An infusional schedule of FU should be the preferred irinotecan-based regimen in first-line metastatic colorectal cancer.

3575 Background: The literature reports that adding biologics to chemotherapy (ctx) may increase the incidence of clinically significant neutropenia. his trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of PEG in reducing the incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN) in pts with locally-advanced (LA) or metastatic (m)CRC receiving first-line treatment with either FOLFOX/B or FOLFIRI/B. Methods: Key eligibility: ≥ 18 years old; measurable, nonresectable CRC per RECIST 1.1. Pts were randomly assigned 1:1 to either placebo or 6 mg PEG ~24 h after ctx/B. The study treatment period included four Q2W cycles, but pts could continue their assigned regimen until progression. Pts were stratified by region (North America vs rest of world), stage (LA vs mCRC), and ctx (FOLFOX vs FOLFIRI). Estimated sample size (N = 800) was based on the expected incidence of grade 3/4 FN (primary endpoint) across the first 4 cycles of ctx/B, powered for PEG superiority over placebo. Other endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: 845 pts were randomized (Nov 2009 to Jan 2012) and received study treatment; 783 pts completed 4 cycles of ctx/B. Median age was 61 years; 512 (61%) pts were male; 819 (97%) had mCRC; 414 (49%) received FOLFOX, and 431 (51%) received FOLFIRI. Grade 3/4 FN (first 4 cycles) for placebo vs PEG was 5.7% vs 2.4%; OR 0.41; p = 0.014. A similar incidence of other ≥ grade 3 adverse events was seen in both arms (28% placebo; 27% PEG). See table for additional results. Conclusions: PEG significantly reduced the incidence of grade 3/4 FN in this pt population receiving standard ctx/B for CRC. Follow-up is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT00911170. [Table: see text]

TPS453 Background: FOLFIRINOX remains the standard of care for the first line treatment of patients with locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, however the prognosis remains poor, thus novel treatment options are indicated. Eryaspase, asparaginase (ASNase) encapsulated in red blood cells (RBCs) is an investigational product under development. Following infusion, asparagine and glutamine are actively transported into RBCs where they are hydrolyzed by the encapsulated ASNase. A randomized phase IIb study in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer whose disease progressed following first-line treatment (NCT02195180) was previously conducted. Eryaspase in combination with gemcitabine monotherapy or FOLFOX combination therapy improved overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS). The safety profile of eryaspase was acceptable. A second line pivotal randomized phase III trial (Trybeca-1) is currently enrolling (NCT03665441). We design this phase I study to determine the safety of mFOLFIRINOX combined with Eryaspase in the first line of treatment. Methods: Patients with locally or metastatic biopsy proven pancreatic adenocarcinoma will be treated with the combination of mFOLFIRINOX plus Eryaspase. This will be a standard 3+3 design with 4 possible doing levels. mFOLFIRINOX dosing will include 5-Fluorouracil 2400 mg/m2 over 46 hours, Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, Irinotecan 150 mg/m2 plus Eryaspase 75 Units/kg at dose level 0. Eryaspase will be dose escalated up to 100 Units/kg. The study will enroll at three academic centers. Key eligibility criteria include performance status 0 or 1; locally advanced or metastatic tumor disease; adequate organ function. The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and safety of this novel combination. Key secondary objectives include objective response rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and biomarker research. A data safety monitoring committee will review data every 3 months. Clinical trial information: 04292743.

Purpose To compare epirubicin, cisplatin, and capecitabine (ECX) with fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) as first-line treatments in patients with advanced gastric or esophagogastric junction (EGJ) adenocarcinoma. Patients and Methods This open, randomized, phase III study was carried out in 71 centers. Patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric or EGJ cancer were randomly assigned to receive either ECX as first-line treatment (ECX arm) or FOLFIRI (FOLFIRI arm). Second-line treatment was predefined (FOLFIRI for the ECX arm and ECX for the FOLFIRI arm). The primary criterion was time-to-treatment failure (TTF) of the first-line therapy. Secondary criteria were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), toxicity, and quality of life. Results In all, 416 patients were included (median age, 61.4 years; 74% male). After a median follow-up of 31 months, median TTF was significantly longer with FOLFIRI than with ECX (5.1 v 4.2 months; P = .008). There was no significant difference between the two groups in median PFS (5.3 v 5.8 months; P = .96), median OS (9.5 v 9.7 months; P = .95), or response rate (39.2% v 37.8%). First-line FOLFIRI was better tolerated (overall rate of grade 3 to 4 toxicity, 69% v 84%; P < .001; hematologic adverse events [AEs], 38% v 64.5%; P < .001; nonhematologic AEs: 53% v 53.5%; P = .81). Conclusion FOLFIRI as first-line treatment for advanced gastric and EGJ cancer demonstrated significantly better TTF than did ECX. Other outcome results indicate that FOLFIRI is an acceptable first-line regimen in this setting and should be explored as a backbone regimen for targeted agents.

336 Background: First-line FOLFOXIRI demonstrated superior activity and efficacy compared to FOLFIRI. Moreover, the outcome is improved by the addition of bev to first-line doublets. A phase II study of FOLFOXIRI/bev showed promising activity and manageable toxicities. The present trial compared FOLFOXIRI/bev to FOLFIRI/bev as first-line treatment in unresectable mCRC. Methods: Eligibility criteria included: measurable and unresectable mCRC, age 18-75 years, no prior chemotherapy for advanced disease. Patients (pts) were randomized to either FOLFIRI/bev (bev 5 mg/kg, irinotecan 180 mg/sqm, l-LV 200 mg/sqm, 5FU bolus 400 mg/sqm, 5FU infusion 2400 mg/sqm over 48h q2w, arm A) or FOLFOXIRI/bev (bev 5 mg/kg, irinotecan 165 mg/sqm, oxaliplatin 85 mg/sqm, l-LV 200 mg/sqm, 5FU infusion 3200 mg/sqm over 48h q2w, arm B). Treatment was planned for a maximum of 12 cycles followed by maintenance with bev and 5FU until progression. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Results: Between July 2008 and May 2011, 508 pts were randomized among 35 italian centers. Pts characteristics were (arm A/arm B): median age 60/61 yrs, ECOG PS 1-2 11%/10%, synchronous metastases 81%/79% multiple sites of disease 74%/70%. At a median follow-up of 20.9 months 391 pts have progressed. The study met its primary endpoint: FOLFOXIRI/bev significantly increased PFS (median 9.5 vs 11.9 months, HR 0.72 [95%CI:0.59-0.87], p=0.001). Response rate was also significantly increased (53% vs 64%, p=0.015). Main per patient toxicities were (arm A/arm B): grade 3-4 diarrhea 10%/18%, grade 3-4 vomiting 3%/4%, grade 3-4 stomatitis 4%/8%, grade 3-4 peripheral neurotoxicity 0%/5%, grade 3-4 neutropenia 20%/49%, febrile neutropenia 6%/8%, hypertension 2%/4%, thromboembolic events 7%/7%, bleeding 1%/1%. Deaths within 60 days were 3% and 4%. Conclusions: FOLFOXIRI/bev significantly increases PFS and response rate compared to FOLFIRI/bev. Chemotherapy- and bev-related toxicities occur with the expected incidence. Clinical trial information: NCT00719797.

7501 Background: This multicenter, randomized, phase III study compared B-R and CHOP-R as first-line treatment in patients (pts) with indolent lymphomas or mantle cell lymphoma and was first published in The Lancet in 2013. The final analysis demonstrated a significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) in the B-R group compared to the CHOP-R group, with a median PFS of 69.5 vs. 31.2 months, respectively. In the current analysis, we present updated results for overall survival (OS), time-to-next-treatment (TTNT), and secondary malignancies (sNPL) with a median follow-up of 113 months for patients with indolent lymphomas (excluding MCL). Methods: 447 pts with indolent lymphomas were randomized to receive B-R or CHOP-R for a maximum of 6 cycles. The primary endpoint was PFS; secondary endpoints included OS, TTNT, and sNPL. Results: Patient characteristics were well balanced between arms; median age was 64 years. The difference in OS between the two treatment arms was not statistically significant, with 60 deaths in the B-R group vs 68 deaths with CHOP-R (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.58 – 1.15, p = 0.249). The estimated 10-year survival rates were 71% for B-R and 66% for CHOP-R. TTNT was significantly prolonged with B-R compared with CHOP-R (HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.38 – 0.69, p < 0.001). Median TTNT was not yet reached in the B-R group (95% CI 124.9 – n.y.r) vs. 56 months in the CHOP-R group (95% CI 39.1 – 82.0). Patients treated initially with B-R needed fewer second-line treatments due to disease progression compared to CHOP-R treated pts: 73 pts (34%) in the B-R group received salvage treatment compared with 106 pts (52%) in the CHOP-R group. For B-R pts, CHOP-R was used as second-line therapy 26 times (36%), whereas B-R was used for pts initially treated with CHOP-R 49 times (46%). 36 pts with sNPL were observed in the B-R group compared with 39 in the CHOP-R group, with 7 hematological malignancies in both groups to date. Conclusions: In pts with previously untreated indolent lymphomas, B-R demonstrates a PFS and TTNT benefit over CHOP-R. Clinical trial information: NCT00991211.

e15788 Background: Nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine and FOLFIRINOX showed survival advantage comparing to gemcitabine monotherapy in metastatic pancreatic cancer (PAC). However, the objective response rates (ORR) were about 30% and still unmet clinical expectation. S-1 is an oral fluoropyrimidine derivative showed comparable and superior clinical benefit in treatment of unresectable and postoperative PAC comparing to gemcitabine. Since nab-paclitaxel and S-1 provided additional clinical benefits in PAC, we conducted a single-arm, phase II trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel plus S-1 as first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced and metastatic PAC. Methods: Nab-paclitaxel was given at 120 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1 and 8, in combination with S-1 which was orally administered (80-120 mg/d according to the body surface area) on day 1-14 of each 21-day cycle, for 6 cycles. The primary endpoint was ORR, secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety. Results: Sixty patients including 5 locally advanced and 55 metastatic PAC received a median of 4 cycles (range from 2 to 6). The ORR by either blinded independent review or investigator assessment was 50.0% (Table). Median PFS and OS were 5.7 months (95%CI, 4.9 to 6.6 m) and 9.3 months (95%CI, 8.3 to 10.3 m), respectively. The most common adverse events were neutropenia, sensory neuropathy, and nausea/vomiting. Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia were 22.3% and 11.7%, grade 3 sensory neuropathy was 5%. The patients with grade 3 and 4 neutropenia, and those with biochemical response (50% reduction of CA19-9) achieved better ORR (75% and 76.7%, respectively). Of 52 patients with elevated CA19-9 at baseline, 32 patients (61.5%) had biochemical response showed a better median OS than those without the biochemical response (15.9 m versus 5.7 m, P=0.029). Conclusions: Nab-paclitaxel plus S-1 showed encouraging ORR and being tolerated. Future phase III randomized clinical trial in advanced PAC is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT02124317.
