30 Background: The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the success rate of salvage radiation therapy (SRT) for recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa) after radical prostatectomy with and without planning based on prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET). Methods: This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label, Phase 3 clinical imaging trial powered for clinical outcome at 5 years. UCLA is the leading central site in which PSMA PET, clinical follow-up and data management are being done. UCSF was a participating site in which PSMA PET imaging can be done. SRT can be performed anywhere, patients are followed remotely by the UCLA investigators. Patients scheduled for SRT for recurrence after primary prostatectomy and with PSA ≥ 0.1ng/ml at time of enrollment were eligible. Patients were randomized to proceed with standard SRT allowing for any conventional imaging aside from PSMA PET/CT (control arm) or undergo a 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scan prior to SRT planning (investigational arm). The primary endpoint is the success rate of SRT at 5 years in patients who undergo SRT. We report here the preliminary results of a secondary endpoint: the impact of PSMA PET on SRT planning by comparing the pre-randomization RT plans prospectively obtained on surveys before randomization to the actually delivered RT plans obtained after follow-up. Results: Enrollment of the trial was complete. 193 patients were enrolled from 09.06.2018 to 08.17.2020. 7/90 patients (9%) in the control arm dropped-out the study because they underwent a PSMA PET at another institution, while 1/103 (1%) patients of the intervention arm dropped-out due to COVID-19 related complications. After a median follow-up of 13.3 months (last follow-up date 09/01/2020), delivered RT plans were obtained in 60/83 (72%) and 70/102 (69%) of patients of the control and the PSMA arms, respectively. Median PSA at enrollment was 0.32 ng/ml (IQR 0.17-1.35) and 0.22 ng/ml (IQR 0.14-0.50) in the control and PSMA arms, respectively. There was a change between the intended pre-randomization RT plan and the actually delivered RT plan in 17/60 (28%) and 40/70 (57%) of the patients in the control and PSMA arms, respectively (p = 0.002). SRT was aborted in favor of systemic therapy and/or metastasis directed RT for extra-pelvic M1 disease in 2/60 (3%) and 12/70 (17%) of the control and PSMA arms, respectively (p = 0.17). Dose prescription and/or target volume delineation was changed in 2/60 (3%) and 1/70 (26%) in the control and PSMA arms, respectively (p = 0.001). Conclusions: In this prospective randomized phase 3 study, PSMA PET had an impact on the SRT plan in more than half of the patients. Long-term follow-up will show if the impact of PSMA PET on SRT planning translates into improved outcome or not. Clinical trial information: NCT03582774.

Abstract Background: A previous single-arm Phase 2 study (Nature Med5:1171–7,1999), evaluated the ability of tumor-specific idiotype (ID) conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) administered with granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor - GM-CSF (BiovaxID vaccine) to induce complete remission (CR) and molecular remission (MR) in follicular NHL patients in first CR after chemotherapy. We reported (ASH 2005, Abstr 2441) that at 9.2 years follow-up, disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were 45% and 95%, respectively; median DFS was 8.0 years. To date, there have been no additional reported mortalities in this cohort. Although these data are promising, improvements in the treatments and increasing survival for patients with follicular lymphoma have necessitated additional rigor in the evaluation of overall safety and overall risk-benefit. The ongoing Phase 3 study that opened in 2000 by the NCI is designed to evaluate the impact of this vaccine on DFS in previously untreated subjects who have attained CR/Cru. As of August 2007, 231 subjects have been enrolled to receive chemotherapy and 176 have been randomized to receive vaccine (ID-KLH or KLH-KLH). Methods: Since Phase 3 trial inception in 2000, SAEs have been reported through a pharmacoviligance group and identified according to time period on the study (i.e. during chemotherapy, during vaccine, after vaccine, or unknown), causality, and relatedness to study agent. Results: As of August 2007, 32 SAEs have been reported in the BV301 trial, 7 of which occurred during the vaccination segment of the study. At a blinded interim analysis of the Phase 3 safety data, of the 7 SAEs reported during the vaccine segment of the study, 3 are considered unlikely to be related to the study agent (chest pain, compression fracture, herpes zoster), 2 possibly related (arrhythmia supraventricular, chest pain), 1 unrelated (vomiting), and 1 unknown (febrile neutropenia). The 1 SAE, cerebral ischaemia, that occurred post vaccine is considered unrelated to the study agent. Conclusions: Additional follow-up on the Phase 2 patients is needed, as well as similar analyses in other cohorts. Blinded Phase 3 safety data shows a positive safety profile for BiovaxID. Unblinded safety data will be needed to determine the final efficacy and safety profile.

TPS136 Background: Salvage radiotherapy (SRT) for prostate cancer (PCa) biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) is commonly initiated in patients with PSA < 1 ng/mL, a threshold at which standard-of-care imaging is insensitive for detecting recurrence. The purpose of this randomized phase 3 trial is to evaluate the success rate of SRT for PCa BCR after RP with and without planning based on 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT (PSMA). Here we present the study protocol. Methods: This is an interventional phase 3 randomized prospective open label clinical trial with parallel assignment designed for superiority. Patients who are planned to undergo SRT for PCa BCR with PSA > 0.1 ng/ml are eligible. The choice of treating the prostate bed with/without pelvic lymph nodes, with/without androgen deprivation therapy, is left to the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist (RO). RO may or may not change the RT plan depending on the PSMA findings. Any other imaging is allowed for SRT planning if done per routine care. The primary endpoint is the success rate of SRT measured as biochemical progression-free survival (PFS) after initiation of SRT. Biochemical progression is defined by PSA≥0.2 ng/mL and rising. Based on literature data we hypothesized that 1) the incorporation of PSMA to SRT planning will improve 5-year PFS by 20%, 2) the 5-year PFS will be 60% in standard Arm 1 and 80% in interventional Arm 2, and 3) 13% of subjects randomized to Arm 2 will have extra-pelvic metastasis detected by PSMA and will not be included in analysis of the primary endpoint. We will randomize 193 patients (1:1.13 ratio) to proceed with standard SRT (n = 90) or undergo PSMA scan (free of charge for patients) prior SRT planning (n = 103). Patients will be followed for 5 years after the date of initiation of SRT. Discussion: Main pitfalls in study design include 1) drop-out of patients randomized to the control arm and 2) potential FDA approval of PSMA PET imaging probes in the near future (no randomization to standard arm would be then acceptable). This is the first prospective randomized phase 3 trial designed to determine whether PET/CT can improve outcome of SRT in patients with BCR. Clinical trial information: NCT03582774.

483 Background: There are controversial data on the impact of a long waiting period between radiochemotherapy (RCT) and resection for rectal cancer on the rate of complete pathological response (pCR = ypT0N0). The impact on the oncological prognosis is also unknown. We present the 3 years survival results of the GRECCAR6 trial. Methods: The GRECCAR6 trial was a phase III, multicentre, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, controlled trial. Patients with cT3/T4 or TxN+ tumours assessed by radiological examination (MRI and/or endo-ultrasound) of the mid or lower rectum who had received RCT (45-50 Gy with intravenous 5-FU or capecitabine) were included and randomized between 7 weeks or 11 weeks of waiting period. Primary endpoint was the pCR rate. Secondary endpoints were overall, disease-free survival and rate of recurrences. Results: A total of 265 patients from 24 participating centres were enrolled between October 2012 and February 2015. Among them, 253 patients underwent surgery with mesorectal excision. The rate of pCR was 17% (43/253). Mean follow-up from surgical resection was 32±8 months. 25 deaths occurred with a 89% OS at 3 years. DFS was 67.7% at 3 years due to 77 deaths or recurrences. 3-years local and distant recurrences rates were 9.2% and 24.9%, respectively. The group of randomization had no impact on the OS (p = 0.9486) and the DFS (p = 0.8672). Distant (p = 0.8589) and local (p = 0.5780) recurrences were also not influenced by the waiting period. Patients with a pCR had an excellent prognosis with an overall survival of 94.5% versus 87.9% for the remaining patients at 3 years (p = 0.232) and a DFS of 89.6% versus 63.4% (p = 0.0025). On multivariate analysis, DFS was influenced by low rectal tumors (OR=1.74; [1.03; 2.94], p = 0.037), R1 resection (OR = 2.03; [1.18; 3.50], p = 0.011), ypT3-T4 (OR = 2.4; [1.12; 5.19], p = 0.0245) and N+ (OR = 2.85; [1.76; 4.61], p < 0.001). Conclusions: Waiting 4 weeks longer after radiochemotherapy has no influence on the oncological outcomes of T3/T4 rectal cancers. Clinical trial information: NCT01648894.

BackgroundLenvatinib is a multikinase inhibitor of VEGFR 1–3, FGFR 1–4, PDGFRα, RET, and KIT. Pembrolizumab is an anti-programmed death-1 monoclonal antibody. We previously reported results from a cohort of 108 patients with metastatic EC (data cutoff date, January 10, 2019) who received lenvatinib + pembrolizumab as part of an ongoing multicenter, open-label, phase 1b/2 study evaluating the combination treatment in patients with selected solid tumors (NCT02501096). Lenvatinib + pembrolizumab showed a tolerable safety profile and promising antitumor activity per immune-related (ir) Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) by investigator assessment, including an objective response rate (ORR) of 38.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 29.7–48.7), median progression-free survival (PFS) of 7.4 months (95% CI, 5.3–8.7), and median overall survival (OS) of 16.7 months (95% CI, 15.0-not estimable).1 Here we present updated efficacy and safety data (data cutoff date: August 18, 2020).MethodsPatients included in the EC cohort had histologically confirmed, measurable metastatic EC and had received ≤2 prior chemotherapies (unless discussed with the sponsor). Patients received lenvatinib (20 mg orally once daily) and pembrolizumab (200 mg intravenously once every 3 weeks). The phase 2 efficacy endpoints included ORR, PFS, OS, and duration of response. Tumor assessments for primary and secondary endpoints were evaluated by investigators per irRECIST.ResultsThe 108 patients from the key efficacy analysis set for the previously reported results were all included in these updated analyses. Median follow-up duration for the study was 34.7 months. Efficacy outcomes are summarized in table 1. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 104 (96%) patients (94 [87%] grade ≤3, 10 [9%] grade ≥4). TRAEs led to study-drug interruption of 1 or both drugs in 80 (74.1%) patients and dose reductions of lenvatinib in 73 (67.6%) patients; 23 (21.3%) patients discontinued 1 or both drugs due to a TRAE. The most common grade ≥3 TRAEs were hypertension (33.3%), lipase increased (9.3%), fatigue (8.3%), and diarrhea (7.4%).Abstract 354 Table 1ConclusionsWith extended follow-up, our updated efficacy analysis continued to show clinical benefit in patients with metastatic EC who received lenvatinib + pembrolizumab. Moreover, the combination had a manageable safety profile that was generally consistent with the established safety profiles of the individual monotherapies. No new safety signals were detected. A phase 3 study of lenvatinib + pembrolizumab versus treatment of physician’s choice in advanced endometrial cancer further supports the lasting clinical benefits observed in our study.2Trial Registration www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT02501096ReferencesMakker V, Taylor MH, Aghajanian C, et al.

AimsRadiotherapy with concurrent 5-fluorouracil/mitomycin-C based chemotherapy has been established as definitive standard therapy approach for anal cancer. Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) leads to a precise treatment of the tumor, allowing dose escalation on Gross Tumor Volume (GTV), with a surrounding healthy tissues sparing. Our study assessed the impact of 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET/CT) on the radiotherapy contouring process and its contribution to lymphatic spread detection, resulting to a personalization of Clinical Target Volume (CTV) and dose prescription.MethodsThirty-seven patients, with histologically proven squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCCAC) were analyzed. All patients were evaluated with history and physical examination, trans-anal endoscopic ultrasound, pelvis magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis and planning 18FDG-PET/CT. The GTV and CTV were drawn on CT, MRI and 18FDG-PET/CT fused images.ResultsThirty-four (91%) out of 37 patients presented lymph nodes involvement, in one or more areas, detected on 18FDG-PET/CT and/or MRI. The 18FDG-PET/CT showed positive lymph nodes not detected on MRI imaging (PET+, MRI−) in 14/37 patients (38%). In 14 cases, 18FDG-PET/CT allowed to a dose escalation in the involved nodes. The 18FDG-PET/CT fused images led to change the stage in 5/37(14%) cases: four cases from N0 to N1 (inguinal lymph nodes) and in one case from M0 to M1 (common iliac lymph nodes).ConclusionsThe 18FDG-PET/CT has a potentially relevant impact in staging and target volume delineation/definition in patients affected by anal cancer. In our experience, clinical stage variation occurred in 14% of cases. More investigations are needed to define the role of 18FDG-PET/CT in the target volume delineation of anal cancer.
