TPS2067 Background: Resection (R) followed by single or multi-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRT) of brain metastases lowers resection bed recurrence compared to R alone. Nevertheless, for larger (>2.5cm) brain metastasis, 12-month recurrence rates after R+SRT can exceed 20–30%. Aiming to improve outcomes, a permanently implanted collagen tile brachytherapy device (GammaTile or GT, GT Medical Technologies, Tempe, AZ) utilizing Cs-131 seeds embedded within a bioresorbable collagen tile was developed and is described as Surgically Targeted Radiation Therapy (STaRT) to distinguish it from external beam radiation therapy. It is hypothesized that immediate adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) and/or RT dose intensification could improve outcomes. The device is FDA-cleared for this indication and early commercial use is demonstrating favorable safety and efficacy outcomes. STaRT allows rapid dose delivery of radiation therapy directly to the tumor bed with predictable dosimetry immediately at the time of resection, and an intense but localized radiation treatment, which may confer a reduced risk for radiation necrosis compared to other therapies. The device is easily placed with minimal additional operative time and limited staff radiation exposure. It is hypothesized that R+ STaRT will increase the surgical bed recurrence-free survival, while reducing the impact on functional and neurocognitive status compared to R+SRT. Methods: Multicenter, randomized, comparison trial of patients with resectable, previously untreated “index” brain metastases measuring ≥2.5–5 cm, and 0–3 other tumors, will be preoperatively randomized 1:1 to undergo either R+ SRT or R+STaRT to the index lesion; unresected tumors in both groups will receive SRT. Planned sample size is 180 from 13 sites. Enrollment will open in Q1. Primary endpoint is surgical bed-recurrence free survival. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, quality of life (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Brain, Linear Analog Self-Assessment), neurocognition (Hopkins Verbal Learning Test, Trail Making Tests, Controlled Oral Word Association), functional status (Karnofsky Performance Scale, Barthel-ADL), and adverse events. Follow-up will be at 1,3,6,9, and 12 months, then every 6 months through 24 months. This will be the first randomized trial comparing R+SRT versus R+STaRT delivered by Cs-131 sources in permanently implanted resorbable collagen tile carriers. Primary and secondary outcome measures will be captured to elucidate the potential risks and benefits of these two differing post-operative RT delivery methods in the setting of newly diagnosed metastatic brain tumors.

Abstract BACKGROUND Resection (R) followed by single- or multi-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRT) of brain metastases (BMs) lowers resection bed recurrence compared to R alone. Nevertheless, for larger BMs, 12-month recurrence rates after R+SRT can exceed 20–30%. Aiming to improve outcomes, a permanently implanted collagen tile brachytherapy device (GammaTile, GT Medical Technologies, Tempe, AZ) utilizing Cs-131 seeds embedded within a bioresorbable collagen tile was developed and is described as Surgically Targeted Radiation Therapy (STaRT) to distinguish it from external beam radiotherapy. STaRT allows rapid, intense localized radiation dose delivery directly to the tumor bed with predictable dosimetry immediately at the time of R, which may confer reduced risk for radiation necrosis compared to other therapies. It is hypothesized that R+ STaRT will increase surgical bed recurrence-free survival (SB-RFS), while reducing impact on functional and neurocognitive status compared to R+SRT. METHODS Multicenter, randomized, comparison trial of patients with resectable, previously untreated “index” BMs (≥ 2.5–5cm), and 0–3 other tumors, will be preoperatively randomized 1:1 to undergo R+SRT or R+STaRT to the index lesion; unresected tumors in both groups will receive SRT. Planned sample size is 180 from 14 sites. Enrollment opened 03/31/2021. First subject was enrolled 04/07/2021. Primary endpoint is SB-RFS. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, quality of life, neurocognition, functional status, imaging findings and adverse events. Follow-up will be through 24 months. This will be the first randomized trial comparing R+SRT versus R+STaRT delivered by Cs-131 sources in permanently implanted resorbable collagen tile carriers. Primary and secondary outcome measures captured will elucidate the potential risks and benefits of these two RT delivery methods in the setting of newly diagnosed BMs. We will present trial accrual progress, available data, experience and lessons learned.

Abstract BACKGROUND In last decade, there were numerous attempts to improve the outcome of patients with glioblastoma (GBM), but even after maximal surgical resection, radiation therapy (RT) and temozolomide (TMZ), followed by maintenance TMZ for 6 months the median OS is 14.6 months. In the EF-14 Phase III trial, the addition of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) at 200 kHz to maintenance TMZ increased the median OS to 20.9 months, compared with 16.0 months with maintenance TMZ alone (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.53–0.76; p<0.001). Based on these results, the currently accepted standard of care for newly diagnosed GBM (ndGBM) is surgical resection if safely feasible, followed by RT with concomitant TMZ, and then followed by maintenance TMZ in combination with TTFields. Preclinical investigations have shown a radio-sensitizing effect of TTFields on glioma cells, suggesting synergistic effects between TTFields and radiotherapy. In a pilot study of 10 patients with ndGBM, we demonstrated that there was no increased treatment-related toxicity when TTFields were given in combination with RT/TMZ. The only TTFields-related adverse event was skin toxicity below the arrays. Preliminary progression free survival (PFS) data was encouraging. Based on the results of the pilot study, we designed this prospective, randomized Phase II study to further investigate if the addition of TTFields TMZ/RT treatment in ndGBM patients improves treatment efficacy and delays disease progression. MATERIAL AND METHODS Following debulking surgery or biopsy, 60 adult patients (≥18 years) with histologically confirmed GBM, KPS≥70 and life expectancy of at least 3 months will be randomized 1:1 to either a) RT with concomitant TMZ and TTFields (200 kHz) for 6 weeks followed by up to 6 months of maintenance TMZ in combination with TTFields (experimental arm) up to 24 months; or b) RT with concomitant TMZ alone followed by maintenance TMZ in combination with TTFields (control arm). Exclusion criteria: patients with early progressive disease, significant comorbidities precluding maintenance RT or TMZ or patients with an implanted electronic device. The primary endpoint is progression free survival at 12 months (PFS12). Treatment with TTFields will be continued until second progression or 24 months (the earlier of the two). All patients will be followed for survival. Grading and severity of all adverse events will be recorded using CTCAE V5.0. The sample size of 60 patients provides 80% power with a two-sided alpha level of 0.05 to detect a PFS12 of 46.5% with RT/TMZ/TTFields compared to 29.4% with RT/TMZ followed, respectively, by maintenance TMZ/TTFields (calculated from the RT/TMZ followed by maintenance TMZ/TTFields arm of the EF-14 trial). It is forecasted to take 24 months to fully recruit. Follow-up will continue for >12 months from recruitment of the last patient.

Postmastectomy Radiation Therapy

Purpose Conventionally fractionated postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) takes approximately 5 to 6 weeks. Data supporting hypofractionated PMRT is limited. We prospectively evaluated a short course of hypofractionated PMRT, in which therapy was completed in 15 treatment days. Patients and Methods We delivered PMRT at a dose of 36.63 Gy in 11 fractions of 3.33 Gy over 11 days to the chest wall and the draining regional lymph nodes, followed by an optional mastectomy scar boost of four fractions of 3.33 Gy. Our primary end point was freedom from any grade 3 or higher toxicities. We incorporated early stopping criteria on the basis of predefined toxicity thresholds. Results We enrolled 69 women with stage II to IIIa breast cancer, of whom 67 were eligible for analysis. After a median follow-up of 32 months, there were no grade 3 toxicities. There were 29 reported grade 2 toxicities, with grade 2 skin toxicities being the most frequent (16 of 67; 24%). There were two patients with isolated ipsilateral chest wall tumor recurrences (2 of 67; crude rate, 3%). Three-year estimated local recurrence-free survival was 89.2% (95% CI, 0.748 to 0.956). The 3-year estimated distant recurrence-free survival was 90.3% (95% CI, 0.797 to 0.956). Forty-one patients had chest wall reconstructions; three had expanders removed for infection before radiation therapy. The total rate of implant loss or failure was 24% (9 of 38), and the unplanned surgical correction rate was 8% (3 of 38), for a total complication rate of 32%. Conclusion To our knowledge, our phase II prospective study offers one of the shortest courses of PMRT reported, delivered in 11 fractions to the chest wall and nodes and 15 fractions inclusive of a boost. We demonstrated low toxicity and high local control with this schedule. On the basis of our data, we have designed a cooperative group phase III prospective, randomized trial of conventional versus hypofractionated PMRT that will activate soon.

Abstract BACKGROUND Tumor treating fields (TTFields) is a non-invasive, regional antimitotic treatment approved as a standard-of-care for newly diagnosed glioblastoma (ndGBM). In the EF-14 Phase 3 trial, TTFields (200 kHz) plus temozolomide (TMZ) significantly increased survival of ndGBM patients without increasing systemic toxicity. TTFields-related AEs were mainly skin AEs. In preclinical models, TTFields increase the therapeutic effects of radiation therapy (RT). A pilot study showed that TTFields concomitant with RT and TMZ is well tolerated. The benefit of concomitant TTFields with RT and TMZ will be tested in the TRIDENT trial. METHODS TRIDENT is an international phase III randomized trial comparing standard RT with TMZ vs the triple combination of RT/TMZ with concomitant TTFields. RT is delivered through the TTFields arrays. Patients in both arms will receive maintenance TTFields/TMZ. TTFields (200 KHz) will be delivered &gt;18 hours/day using Optune. Patients will continue TTFields treatment until second recurrence. Patients with pathologically confirmed ndGBM, ≥ 18 years, KPS ≥ 70, either sex, post-surgery or biopsy, and amenable for RT/TMZ therapy will be stratified by extent of resection and MGMT promoter methylation status. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). Secondary end points: progression free survival (PFS; RANO), 1- and 2-year survival rates, overall radiological response (ORR; RANO), progression-free survival (PFS6M, PF12M, PFS2Y); severity and frequency of AEs (CTCAE V5.0); pathological changes in resected GBM tumors post treatment; quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30); and correlation of OS to TTFields compliance. The hypothesis is that concomitant TTFields/RT/TMZ will significantly improve OS versus RT/TMZ. Sample size (N=950; 475/arm) will detect a HR&lt; 0.8 with 5% type I error. Survival will be measured from the time of randomization until date of death. At the time of analysis, patients lost to follow-up or still on protocol follow-up will be censored at the last date known to be alive.

Abstract Background For patients with operable intracranial neoplasms, there are opportunities to augment local control beyond traditional methods, such as external beam radiation therapy (EBRT),. Brachytherapy, the implantation of radioactive sources into the resection cavity, can be useful in this setting by providing immediate initiation of radiation and limiting the exposure of surrounding normal tissue to radiation. Traditional intracranial brachytherapy methods have been limited by uneven dose distributions, complicated workflows, extended procedural times, the cost of dedicated equipment, and frequent adverse events. To address these issues, a permanently implanted device with Cs-131 radiation seeds embedded in a bioresorbable collagen carrier tile (GammaTile, GT Medical Technologies, Tempe, AZ USA) was developed. Described as surgically targeted radiation therapy (STaRT), it is FDA-cleared for use in newly-diagnosed malignant intracranial neoplasms and recurrent intracranial tumors, including brain metastases, and has demonstrated excellent safety and local control in early commercial use. The primary objectives of this multicenter, prospective, observational (phase IV) registry study [NCT04427384] are to evaluate “real-world” clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes that measure the safety and efficacy of STaRT using the device. Methods Subjects (N=600) at up to 50 enrolling sites undergoing resection of brain tumors of any pathology with intra-operative GammaTile placement are eligible for enrollment. We project 40% of enrollees to have brain metastasis. Tumor pathology, overall survival, radiation- and surgery-related adverse events, quality of life, serial MRIs, and timing of surgical bed recurrence and/or distant recurrence will be collected. The powered primary endpoint for recurrent brain metastases, surgical bed-progression free survival, will compare STaRT to standard-of-care benchmarks. This study will be the first observational study of resection plus GammaTile. Results will be used to benchmark clinical outcomes in the real-world setting, allow for comparisons to existing treatments, and facilitate the design of future clinical trials.

e21063 Background: The prognosis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients(pts) with multiple brain metastases is poor. WBRT is the main treatment for the pts, but QUARTZ study showed that the efficacy of WBRT is unsatisfactory. The synergistic effect of the antiangiogenic therapy with radiation therapy has been well established. Anlotinib, an antiangiogenic multi-target TKI, had significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) of advanced NSCLC with Brain Metastases. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with WBRT in pts with brain metastases ( > 3) from advanced NSCLC. Methods: Advanced NSCLC pts with brain metastases ( > 3) who were histologically confirmed to be driver gene wild type or positive and pts who had received two or more previous treatments were eligible. Pts with meningeal metastasis were excluded. All pts were treated with anlotinib (12 mg, QD, day 1 to 14 of a 21-day cycle) combined with WBRT (DT 30Gy/12f), followed by maintenance therapy with anlotinib until disease progression or treatment intolerance. The primary endpoint was intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS). Secondary endpoints were extracranial PFS (ePFS), OS and toxicity. Results: As of 25 Jan 2021, 28 pts were enrolled. The median age was 57.5 years with 46.4% male. 89.3% of pts with adenocarcinoma. 21.4% pts harbored EGFR mutation. A total of 25 pts were included in efficacy analysis. In intracranial evaluation, ORR was 64.0%, DCR was 88.0%, median iPFS was 11.1 months (95% CI 5.9 to 12.1). In extracranial evaluation, ORR was 12.0%, DCR was 84.0%, median ePFS was 6.0months (95% CI 3.2 to 8.8). Most common grade 1-2 adverse events (AEs) were hypertension (67.8%), fatigue (64.2%)，anorexia (46.4%) and hand and foot skin reaction (37.5%). The most common grade 3-4 AEs were hypertension (12.5%), hand and foot skin reaction (10.7%) and fatigue (7.2%). No intracranial hemorrhage occurred during treatment. Dose adjustment due to AE occurred in 21.4% patients. Conclusions: This prospective study shows that the combination of anlotinib and WBRT for patients with multiple brain metastases after standard treatment resistance exhibited an effective therapeutic approach and manageable AEs. For further investigation, large sample and additional clinical trials are warranted. Clinical trial information: ChiCTR1900022093.

First subject was enrolled 10/14/2020. Tumor pathology, overall survival, radiation- and surgery-related adverse events, patient- and provider-reported quality of life, serial MRIs, and timing of surgical bed and/or distant recurrence are collected. Powered primary endpoints for recurrent brain metastases, recurrent glioblastoma, and recurrent meningioma (surgical bed-progression free survival (PFS), overall survival, and PFS, respectively), compare STaRT to standard-of-care benchmarks. Results will be used to improve awareness and access to this treatment, benchmark clinical outcomes in the real-world setting, allow for comparisons to existing treatments, facilitate the design of future clinical trials, and contribute to the optimal sequencing of treatments for intracranial neoplasms.

e14006 Background: Previous studies have shown that brain metastases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with positive driver genes have poor prognosis. There is still lack of prospective studies on the efficacy and safety of targeted therapy combined with concurrent radiotherapy for brain metastases(BM). Methods: NSCLC patients, with ECOG score 0-2, having MRI confirmed brain or meningeal metastases were eligible. Patients must have driver gene mutation and received corresponding targeted therapy. The intracranial radiotherapy regimen was SRS or whole brain radiotherapy. The primary objective was iPFS (intracranial progression-free survival); Secondary objectives were: iORR (intracranial objective response rate), PFS (progression-free survival), OS (overall survival). MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination) and FACT-Br was carried out before/after weekly radiotherapy and during systematic treatment. Treatment-related toxicities were assessed according RTOG/EORTC criteria. Tumor responses were evaluated using RECIST V1.1 criteria. Survival analysis was performed using the Graphprism version 6.0 by Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Results: 23 NSCLC with BM was included. Among them, 10 patients were newly diagnosed with NSCLC BM. 2 patients’ BM progressed after targeted therapy. 11 NSCLC patients were newly diagnosed with BM after targeted therapy. 91.3% of patients presented an EGFR mutation, including primarily EGFR 19-exon deletion, EGFR 21-L8585R. 11.5% presented with c-MET mutation. Median age was 58.34 yrs(44-71yrs). Patients were mostly treated with Erolotinib and Gefitinib. All patients were adenocarcinoma. At last follow-up, for patients newly diagnosed with NSCLC BM, 8 patients had achieved intracranial progression, and 7 patients had reached OS, of which 1 died before completing WBRT. The median iPFS was 9.3m(95%CI:0.571-4.055) and the median OS was 11.9m (95%CI:0.2752 -2.732). As for patients who progressed after targeted therapy, one patient’s OS was 4.4m, iPFS of the other patient was 3.9m. Among NSCLC patients who were newly diagnosed with BM after targeted therapy, 8 patients had achieved intracranial progression and 5 patients had reached OS. The median iPFS was 6.13m (95%CI:0.247-1.751) and the mOS was 13.8m (95%CI:0.3660-3.634). Common adverse effects include dry skin, fatigue, dizziness, headache, anorexia, and grade I myelosuppression and no serious adverse events (SAEs); MMSE and FACT-Br scores were no significant differences at baseline and follow-up. Conclusions: In stage IV brain metastatic NSCLC with driver gene mutation, targeted therapy combined with concurrent radiotherapy for BM is tolerable, and there is no significant impact on the quality of life and cognitive function after radiotherapy. The evaluation of efficacy requires further follow-up. Support:LC2019ZD009,81972853 and 81572279.
