TPS11581 Background: Metastatic undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma (UPS) and the genetically related myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) are soft tissue sarcoma (STS) subtypes with poor prognoses. While responses to front line chemotherapy can approach 20%, efficacy remains limited in the 2nd line setting and beyond. Pazopanib, the only approved treatment in the refractory setting, has demonstrated an objective response rate (ORR) of 4%. Envafolimab is a single domain PD-L1 antibody administered rapidly by subcutaneous (SQ) injection that is being studied in two additional pivotal trials: microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) cancer and biliary tract cancer. The activity of envafolimab appears to be similar to other PD-1 antibodies administered i.v. Envafolimab demonstrated a 32% objective response rate (ORR) in MSI-H colorectal cancer patients who failed three approved chemotherapeutics, similar to the ORR of 28% and 33% with nivolumab and pembrolizumab in these patient populations, respectively. The rationale for the ENVASARC trial is based on the previously reported activity of checkpoint inhibition in UPS/MFS. Single agent pembrolizumab demonstrated a 23% ORR, while the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab demonstrated a 29% ORR in refractory UPS/MFS. Methods: ENVASARC (NCT 04480502) is a pivotal multicenter (at ̃25 U.S. centers) open-label, randomized, non-comparative, parallel cohort study of treatment with envafolimab 300 mg every 3 weeks by SQ injection (cohort A; n = 80) or envafolimab 300 mg every 3 weeks by SQ injection combined with ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks i.v. for four doses (cohort B; n = 80) in patients with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic UPS/MFS who have progressed on one or two lines of prior therapy. The primary objective of each of parallel cohort is to demonstrate an ORR with a lower limit of the 95% confidence interval that excludes 5.0% in each cohort. If ≥ 9 responders are observed of the 80 patients enrolled in each cohort, then the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval will exclude 5.0%. Secondary endpoints include duration of response (DOR), PFS and OS. Key inclusion criteria: ≤ 2 prior lines of therapy (neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy excluded), ECOG ≤ 1. Clinical trial information: NCT 04480502.

e15552 Background: Single agent programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) inhibitor is ineffective against mismatch repair proficient (MMRp) colon cancer with response rates in single digits. Polyinosinic-Polycytidylic (Poly-ICLC) is a synthetic double stranded ribonucleic acid that generates inflammatory response increasing epitope recognition, develops tumor reactive T cells and induces interferon production which increases PD-L1 expression. In this trial, we test the effectiveness of combination of poly-ICLC and pembrolizumab in MMRp metastatic colon cancer. Methods: In this open label, single arm, single institution, phase 2 study, we enrolled 12 MMRp metastatic colon cancer patients from 1/25/2019 to 2/10/2021. Eligible patients had histologically confirmed MMRp metastatic colon cancer, ECOG 1-2 and progression on at least 2 lines of therapy. Treatment (Tx) consisted of Pembrolizumab (200 mg q3 weeks) and poly-ICLC (2 mg twice weekly, 3 days apart) for 1 year of treatment. Tx continued until progression, discontinuation or withdrawal. The primary endpoint was objective response rate by RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints included duration of response, adverse event profiling, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Intention-to-treat analyses (ITT) included all patient receiving at least one dose of the study agent. Results: 12 patients with median age 68.5 years (range 54-75) and 33% (4/12) male had been enrolled till 2/10/2021. Objective response rate was 8.3% (1 patient had partial response). The duration of response was 196 days. Among these 12 patients, median PFS was 63.5 days and median OS was 196 days. Treatment related adverse events of any grade were reported in 12/12 (100%) patients with the most common toxicities being nausea, vomiting, anorexia, dehydration and dizziness. 3/12 (25%) had serious (grade ≥ 3) toxicities and one patient died after experiencing leukocytosis, dehydration and hyperbilirubinemia attributed to the trial drugs. Conclusions: Poly-ICLC was not effective in combination with pembrolizumab for MMRp metastatic colon cancer in 3rd line setting and it did not seem to improve response rates to immunotherapy. Novel strategies for stimulating immunogenicity of cold tumors are needed. Clinical trial information: NCT02834052.

PURPOSE CheckMate 032 is an open-label, multicohort study that includes patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) treated with nivolumab 3 mg/kg monotherapy every 2 weeks (NIVO3), nivolumab 3 mg/kg plus ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 3 weeks for four doses followed by nivolumab monotherapy 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks (NIVO3+IPI1), or nivolumab 1 mg/kg plus ipilimumab 3 mg/kg every 3 weeks for four doses followed by nivolumab monotherapy 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks (NIVO1+IPI3). We report on the expanded NIVO1+IPI3 cohort and extended follow-up for the NIVO3 and NIVO3+IPI1 cohorts. METHODS Patients with platinum-pretreated mUC were enrolled in this phase I/II multicenter study to receive NIVO3, NIVO3+IPI1, or NIVO1+IPI3 until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary end point was investigator-assessed objective response rate per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, including duration of response. RESULTS Seventy-eight patients were treated with NIVO3 (minimum follow-up, 37.7 months), 104 with NIVO3+IPI1 (minimum follow-up, 38.8 months), and 92 with NIVO1+IPI3 (minimum follow-up, 7.9 months). Objective response rate was 25.6%, 26.9%, and 38.0% in the NIVO3, NIVO3+IPI1, and NIVO1+IPI3 arms, respectively. Median duration of response was more than 22 months in all arms. Grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 21 (26.9%), 32 (30.8%), and 36 (39.1%) patients treated with NIVO3, NIVO3+IPI1, and NIVO1+IPI3, respectively. Grade 5 treatment-related pneumonitis occurred in one patient each in the NIVO3 and NIVO3+IPI1 arms. CONCLUSION With longer follow-up, NIVO3 demonstrated sustained antitumor activity alone and in combination with ipilimumab. NIVO1+IPI3 provided the greatest antitumor activity of all regimens, with a manageable safety profile. This result not only supports additional study of NIVO1+IPI3 in mUC, but demonstrates the potential benefit of immunotherapy combinations in this disease.

PURPOSE Targeted therapies against non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring HER2 mutations remain an unmet need. In this study, we assessed the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib in patients with HER2-mutant advanced NSCLC in a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase II study. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with stage IIIB or IV HER2-mutant lung adenocarcinoma who were previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy were enrolled to receive pyrotinib at a dose of 400 mg/d for 21-day cycles. The primary end point was objective response rate per independent review committee (IRC). RESULTS Between October 20, 2016, and December 10, 2018, 60 patients received pyrotinib monotherapy. At baseline, 58 (96.7%) were stage IV, and 25 (41.7%) received at least 2 lines of prior chemotherapy. As of data cutoff on June 20, 2019, IRC-assessed objective response rate was 30.0% (95% CI, 18.8% to 43.2%). All subgroups of patients with different HER2 mutation types showed a favorable objective response rate. The objective response rates were similar between patients with and without brain metastases (25.0% v 31.3%). The median duration of response was 6.9 months (95% CI, 4.9 to 11.1 months). The median progression-free survival was 6.9 months (95% CI, 5.5 to 8.3 months) per IRC. The median overall survival was 14.4 months (95% CI, 12.3 to 21.3 months). Treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or 4 occurred in 28.3% of patients, with the most common being diarrhea (20.0%; all grade 3). No treatment-related deaths were reported. CONCLUSION Pyrotinib showed promising antitumor activity and an acceptable safety profile in chemotherapy-treated patients with HER2-mutant NSCLC.

10520 Background: DFSP is an infiltrative, low-grade, dermal tumor with propensity to recur locally and occasionally metastasize. Translocation between COL1A1 on chromosome 17 and PDGFB on chromosome 22, which results in transcriptional upregulation of PDGFB, is characteristic of DFSP. Autocrine/paracrine PDGFB-mediated activation of PDGFRB drives DFSP proliferation. Two distinct phase II trials of imatinib in patients (pts) with locally advanced or metastatic DFSP were conducted, 1 in North America (SWOG) with confirmed objective response rate and 1 in Europe (EORTC) with 14 week progression-free rate as primary end-points. Methods: Pts with locally advanced or metastatic DFSP were eligible. In the EORTC trial confirmation of t(17;22) by FISH was prospectively required for participation, imatinib was started at 400mg bid, surgery was undertaken after 14 weeks if feasible and response was assessed at 14 weeks. Full accrual was to be 44 pts in one step. In the SWOG trial confirmation of t(17;22) by RT-PCR was performed after enrollment, imatinib was started at 400mg daily and response was assessed every 8 weeks. Full accrual was to be 40 pts in 2 steps. Results: 16 pts were enrolled in EORTC and 8 pts enrolled in SWOG trial. The studies were closed early because of slow accrual and regulatory approval of imatinib in DFSP. Pts age ranged from 24 to 70 yrs, DFSP was located on head/neck, trunk and extremity in 7, 11 and 6 pts, respectively, ranged in size from 1.2–49 cm and was classic, pigmented and fibrosarcomatous DFSP in 13, 1 and 7 pts, respectively. One patient did not have DFSP on central review, lacked t(17;22) and thus was ineligible. Metastases were present in 7 pts involving lung in 6 pts. 11 pts (46%) had partial response, 9 pts had stable disease and 4 pts had progressive disease as best response. Median time to progression was 1.7 yrs. Response and progression-free at 1 yr rates were similar between studies. Imatinib was stopped in 11 pts for progression, 1 pt for toxicity, 2 pts resected free of gross disease and 1 pt withdrew. Conclusions: Imatinib is active in DFSP harboring t(17;22) with an objective response rate approaching 50% and is active in fibrosarcomatous DFSP. Response rates and time to progression did not appear to differ between pts taking 400 mg daily versus 400 mg bid. [Table: see text]

Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

88 Background: Over 1 million individuals worldwide annually are diagnosed with GECa. The majority of patients(pts) present with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic disease(dx). Even with resectable dx 5 year survival is low at ~40% with current best treatment (tx). Following initial platinum based therapy there is no established standard 2nd line tx. Besides HER2-directed therapy there has been little progress with targeted biologic agents. ICORG, the all-Ireland Cooperative Oncology Research Group investigated the utility of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib in a multicentre trial. Methods: A prospective Phase II, nonrandomised, open label, one arm study of single agent sorafenib in the tx of platinum pre-treated relapsed GECa was conducted. Primary objective was dx control rate (DCR) post 4 months of tx. Secondary endpoints were OS, PFS, TTP, ORR, tolerability/toxicity and biomarkers of tx response/resistance. The protocol allowed for an interim analysis to be performed if clinically indicated. A sample size of 54 pts was identified using the single stage Fleming design approach to test whether the proportion responding, P, is ≤ 0.35 or ≥ 0.50. Pts received Sorafenib 400mg bid p.o. continuously q28days until dx progression or intolerable toxicity. Response by RECIST was evaluated by CT q8weeks. For pts with sufficient tumour samples translational studies were done. Results: An interim review performed in Nov 2012 (35 months post study opening) indicated that 33/41 evaluable pts recruited to date had progressed before completing 4 months of tx. Therefore, the number of evaluable pts with dx control could not reach the pre-specified figure of 22, & the hypothesis P >= 0.50 was rejected. Fifteen pts had just 1 cycle of tx, 5 of whom completed ≤ 2 weeks. A further 14 pts had 2 cycles. Median survival time to progression was 56 days (95% CI 53 – 59 days).Median OS was 120 days (95% CI 91 – 149 days). Safety data analyses and translational studies are ongoing and will be available for presentation at the meeting. Conclusions: Sorafenib as monotherapy is inactive in platinum pretreated pts with relapsed GECa. A significant unmet clinical need for novel effective therapies remains. Clinical trial information: 2008-005062-31.

3047 Background: Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC) has a poor prognosis after failure of multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors. New immunomodulators, such as anti-programmed death (PD)-1 antibody drugs, have made progress in the treatment of MRCC, but their objective response rate is only about 25%. Therefore, it is important to enhance the response rate of anti-PD-1 therapy. Methods: Patients with MRCC were eligible if they were failed to at least one kinase inhibitors, ECOG PS 0-2. Patients received nivolumab (2mg/kg, q2w) or keytruda ( 2mg/kg, q3w), followed by CD3-retronectin activated T cell, and the total number of CD3-retronectin activated T cell each time was about 5×109/L. The primary objective was to determine the objective response rate, secondary objectives included time to symptom relief, time to efficacy, safety. Results: 8 pts were enrolled (median age 58 [31-79], male 6). Pts had received a median of 2 (1-4) prior regimens. To date there is 2 patients that the efficacy can not be evaluated. The other 6 pts got remission (3 complete remission and 3 partial remission), the median time to efficacy was 10 weeks (6-12 weeks) and the time to symptom relief was 4 weeks (3-6 weeks). There was no grade 3/4 adverse effects. family:'';font-size:12.0000pt;mso-font-kerning:1.0000pt;" > 109/L.

Conclusions: CD3-retronectin activated T cell might improve the efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy without increasing the side effects. This combination therapy has many implications in the age of immunotherapy, and should be explored across cancer types. mily:'';font-size:12.0000pt;mso-font-kerning:1.0000pt;" > 109/L.

Tumor Mutational Burden

TPS1115 Background: A previous study from our group showed that approximately 9% of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is hypermutated, defined as a tumor mutational burden (TMB) ≥10 Mutations/Megabase (Mut/Mb). The aim of this study is to evaluate if patients with hypermutated HER2-negative MBC benefit from the combination of nivolumab plus ipilimumab. Methods: This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter, phase 2 study assessing the efficacy of nivolumab 3 mg/Kg intravenously (IV) every 14 days plus Ipilimumab 1 mg/Kg IV every 6 weeks in subjects with hypermutated metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer. Patients with measurable HER2-negative MBC, TMB ≥10 Mut/Mb assessed by a cancer-gene panel evaluating > 300 genes and performed in a CLIA-certified laboratory, and 0-3 prior lines of chemotherapy in the advanced setting are eligible. The primary objective is overall response rate according to RECIST 1.1. Secondary objectives include the safety and tolerability of the combination, progression-free survival, and overall survival. The study will follow a two-stage design. In the first stage 14 patients will be enrolled. If there is at least one patient with objective response, accrual will continue to the second stage where an additional 16 patients will be enrolled. If there are at least 4 patients with an objective response among the 30 patients, the regimen will be considered worthy of further study. If the true response rate is 5%, the chance the regimen is declared worthy of further study is less than 5%. If the true response rate is 25%, the chance that the regimen is declared worthy of further study is > 90%. Tumor biopsies, peripheral blood, and stool collection are mandatory and will be obtained at baseline, on treatment (end of cycle 1), and at disease progression and will be assessed for potential biomarkers of treatment response. The trial was activated in February 2019, and accrual should be completed in 18 months. Clinical trial information: NCT03789110.

278 Background: We report the primary analysis of JAVELIN Gastric 100, which compared avelumab (anti–PD-L1) maintenance after 1L CTx vs continued CTx in patients (pts) with GC/GEJC. Methods: In this global, open-label, phase 3 trial (NCT02625610), eligible pts had previously untreated, unresectable, locally advanced/metastatic (LA/M) HER2− GC/GEJC. Pts without progressive disease (PD) after 12 weeks of 1L oxaliplatin/fluoropyrimidine induction were randomized 1:1 to avelumab 10 mg/kg Q2W switch maintenance or continued CTx, stratified by region (Asia vs non-Asia). Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) post induction in all randomized or PD-L1+ (≥1% of tumor cells, 73-10 assay) pts. Results: 805 pts received induction CTx and 499 pts were randomized (avelumab, n = 249; CTx, n = 250). At data cutoff (Sep 13, 2019), minimum follow-up was 18 months. In the avelumab and CTx arms, median OS post induction/randomization was 10.4 months (95% CI 9.1-12.0) vs 10.9 months (95% CI 9.6-12.4), hazard ratio (HR) 0.91 (95% CI 0.74-1.11; p = 0.1779); 24-month OS rates were 22.1% (95% CI 16.8-28.0) vs 15.5% (95% CI 10.8-20.9), respectively. The HR for OS in PD-L1+ pts (n = 54) was 1.13 (95% CI 0.57-2.23). No OS trend was seen in Asian pts (n = 114; HR 0.90 [95% CI 0.59-1.36]) or other subgroups, except for a potential benefit with avelumab in pts with no metastatic sites at randomization (n = 60; HR 0.52 [95% CI 0.28-0.98]). Progression-free survival was similar between arms (HR 1.04 [95% CI 0.85-1.28]). In the avelumab vs CTx arms, objective response rates (post randomization only) were 13.3% (95% CI 9.3-18.1) vs 14.4% (95% CI 10.3-19.4), and 12-month rates for duration of response were 62.3% (95% CI 40.9-77.9) vs 28.4% (95% CI 13.2-45.7), respectively. Treatment-related adverse event rates (all grades/grade ≥3) were 61.3%/12.8% with avelumab and 77.3%/32.8% with CTx. Conclusions: Avelumab maintenance showed clinical activity and favorable safety vs continued CTx in pts with LA/M GE/GEJC; however, JAVELIN Gastric 100 did not meet its primary objective of demonstrating superior OS in the randomized or PD-L1+ population. Clinical trial information: NCT02625610.

TPS3173 Background: Despite the past decade of transformative advances in immuno-oncology, the response rate to checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remains low (~15%). There is significant interest in developing strategies to overcome resistance to these treatments, thus increasing response rate. Emerging evidence suggests that radiation therapy (RT) could potentially augment the antitumor response to ICIs through synergic effect. However, RT dose and ultimate efficacy are limited by toxicity related to exposure of healthy tissues. NBTXR3 is a first-in-class radioenhancer administered by direct intratumoral injection, designed at the nanoscale to increase RT dose deposition within tumor cells and RT-dependent tumor cell killing, without increasing surrounding normal tissue toxicity. Preclinical and early clinical data suggest NBTXR3 activated by RT can trigger an anti-tumor immune response, producing both local and systemic (abscopal) effects. We hypothesize that NBTXR3 activated by RT, in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy (R3/RT/PD-1), will act synergistically to maximize the local RT effect and produce a systemic response sufficient to increase the proportion of ICI responders or convert ICI non-responders to responders. Methods: This trial [NCT03589339] is a multicenter, open-label, phase I study to evaluate safety and tolerability of R3/RT/PD-1 in three cohorts: (1) Locoregional recurrent or recurrent and metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) amenable to re-irradiation of the HN field, (2) Lung metastases, or (3) Liver metastases, both from any primary cancer eligible for anti-PD-1 treatment. Approximately two-thirds of patients in each cohort will be anti-PD-1 non-responders. NBTXR3 injected volume is based on a percentage of gross tumor volume (GTV). The primary objective is to determine the R3/RT/PD-1 recommended phase 2 dose in each cohort. Secondary objectives are to evaluate anti-tumor response (objective response rate; ORR), safety and feasibility of NBTXR3 injection, and NBTXR3 body kinetic profile. Exploratory objectives will assess biomarkers of R3/RT/PD-1 response, including PD-L1 status by IHC, as well as mRNA and cytokine immune marker profiling. To date, three patients have been treated, one in cohort 1, two in cohort 2. Clinical trial information: NCT03589339 .

From May 1980 to November 1981, 51 consecutive patients with locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous carcinoma were treated with 2 successive outpatient chemotherapeutic regimens including adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, bleomycin, methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil with or without mitomycin-C. A 34% objective response rate was obtained with acceptable toxicity and good patient compliance. The presence of mitomycin-C did not influence response rate. Median survival was 9 months.
