33 Background: PSMA-targeted PET/CT is superior to conventional imaging modalities to localize biochemically recurrent (BCR) PCa after local therapy, particularly in pts with low PSA (<2 ng/mL). However, few studies have reported PSMA-targeted PET/CT accuracy compared to a pre-specified rigorous standard of truth (SOT) including histopathology, correlative imaging or treatment response in this population. Here, we report the CLR and PPV of PSMA-targeted 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT, for each of the pre-defined SOT criteria for the CONDOR prospective phase 3 study. Methods: The study enrolled men with rising PSA after definitive therapy and negative or equivocal standard of care imaging (e.g., CT/MRI, bone scintigraphy, F-18 fluciclovine). A single 9 mCi (333 MBq) ± 20% dose of 18F-DCFPyL was injected, followed by PET/CT 1-2 hours later. Pts with positive 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT scans based on local interpretation were scheduled for follow up within 60 days to verify suspected lesion(s) using a composite SOT. The primary endpoint was CLR defined as PPV with the requirement of anatomic lesion co-localization between 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT and the SOT. The SOT consisted of, in descending priority: 1) histopathology, 2) subsequent correlative imaging findings determined by two central readers, or 3) post-radiation PSA response. The trial was successful if the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval for CLR exceeded 20% for at least two of three independent, blinded central 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT reviewers. Results: 208 men (median PSA 0.8 ng/mL) underwent 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT and the study achieved its primary endpoint: CLR was between 84.8% to 87.0% (lower bound of 95% CI: 77.8%-80.4%) among the three 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT readers, against the composite SOT. The performance of 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT by CLR (≥1 lesion co-localized) and PPV (≥1 lesion confirmed) was maintained through all 3 SOT categories. Histopathology (N=31): 78.6-82.8% and 92.9-93.3% for CLR and PPV, respectively; correlative imaging (N=100): 86.1-88.6% and 87.0-89.5% for CLR and PPV, respectively; and PSA response (N=1): 100% for both CLR and PPV. Further analyses of the correlative imaging results showed CLR remained high across the different modalities used a) 18F-fluciclovine-PET/CT (N=71): (86.8-90.9%); b) MRI (N=23): (80.0-86.7%); and c) CT (n=6): (80.0-100%). Conclusions: PSMA-targeted 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT detected and localized metastatic lesions with high CLR and PPV regardless of which criterion defined CLR that was used, in men with BCR who had negative or equivocal baseline imaging.

Occult Disease

5501 Background: Current imaging modalities are inadequate for localizing and characterizing occult disease in men with BCR PCa, particularly in pts with low PSAs (<2 ng/mL). There is a need for improved diagnostic imaging to better inform treatment planning. 18F-DCFPyL (PyL) is a novel PET imaging agent that binds selectively with high affinity to PSMA, which is overexpressed in PCa cells. Methods: Men ≥18 years- with rising PSA after definitive therapy and negative or equivocal standard of care imaging (e.g., CT/MRI, bone scintigraphy) were enrolled. A single 9 mCi (333 MBq) ± 20% dose of PyL was injected, followed by PET/CT 1-2 hours later. Primary endpoint was correct localization rate (CLR), defined as percentage of pts with a 1:1 correspondence between at least one lesion identified by PyL-PET/CT and the composite standard of truth: pathology, correlative imaging, or PSA response. The trial was successful if the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval (LLCI) for CLR exceeded 20% for two of three independent, blinded central PyL-PET/CT reviewers. The secondary endpoint, impact of PyL-PET/CT on clinical management of pts was based on the treating physician’s documented clinical plans before and after PyL-PET/CT. Results: 208 men (median PSA 0.8 [0.2 - 98.4] ng/mL) underwent PyL PET/CT. The study achieved its primary endpoint: CLR of 84.8% to 87.0% among the three PyL-PET/CT readers; the LLCI for CLR by all three reviewers was >77%. Here we report the clinical impact. Based on local radiology assessment, PSMA-avid lesion(s) were identified in 69.3% (142/208) of pts. 63.9% (131/205) had a change in intended management after PyL-PET/CT, of which 78.6% (103/131) were attributable to positive PyL finding(s) and 21.4% (28/131) to negative PyL scans. Changes included: salvage local therapy to systemic therapy (n=58); observation before initiating therapy (n=49); noncurative systemic therapy to salvage local therapy (n=43); and planned treatment to observation (n=9). PyL was well tolerated with one drug-related SAE (hypersensitivity) and the most common AE being headache (n=4; 1.9%). Conclusions: PSMA-targeted PyL-PET/CT detected and localized occult disease in most men with BCR presenting with negative or equivocal conventional imaging. PyL-PET/CT led to changed management plans in the majority of pts, thus providing evidence that clinicians find PSMA PET imaging useful in men with recurrent or suspected metastatic PCa.

IntroductionLimited data from controlled clinical trials are available for men who experience biochemical recurrence after definitive therapy for prostate cancer. In the absence of overt metastases, patients with non-metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (nmCSPC) often receive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). There is no standard-of-care consensus on optimal ADT timing, although most men are treated prior to metastases, especially those with high-risk features (Gleason score 8–10 or prostate-specific antigen doubling time (PSADT) <9–12 months). Given data that ADT plus novel hormonal agents improve survival in men with metastatic CSPC, there is a desire to evaluate these agents earlier in the disease course. The main objective of EMBARK is the comparative assessment of enzalutamide plus leuprolide (luteinising hormone-releasing hormone agonist (LHRHa)) or enzalutamide monotherapy versus monotherapy LHRHa to improve metastasis-free survival (MFS) in patients with high-risk nmCSPC PSA recurrence after definitive therapy.Methods and analysisEMBARK is a randomised, phase 3 study of high-risk patients with nmCSPC, a PSADT of ≤9 months and a screening PSA of ≥2 ng/mL above the nadir after radiotherapy (RT) or ≥1 ng/mL after radical prostatectomy (RP) with or without postoperative RT. Men (n=1050) are randomised 1:1:1 to enzalutamide 160 mg/day plus LHRHa or placebo plus LHRHa (double-blind arms) or enzalutamide monotherapy (open-label arm). Treatment is suspended at week 37 if PSA concentrations are <0.2 ng/mL and reinstated if levels rise to ≥2.0 ng/mL with RP or ≥5.0 ng/mL without RP. Patients with PSA ≥0.2 ng/mL at week 37 continue until treatment discontinuation criteria are met. The primary endpoint is MFS comparing enzalutamide plus LHRHa versus placebo plus LHRHa.Ethics and disseminationThe study is conducted under the guiding principles of the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki. The results will be disseminated at research conferences and in peer-reviewed journals.Trial registration numberNCT02319837.

TPS6093 Background: Since patients with early-stage oral cavity cancer (OCC; T1-2N0M0; AJCC 8th ed) have a 20-30% rate of occult nodal metastases despite clinical and radiographic assessment, standard of care treatment includes elective neck dissection (END). Many patients have comprehensive surgical management of the regional cervical nodal basin even though the majority of those necks (70-80%) will not contain disease. Assessment of draining first echelon lymph nodes by sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy (Bx), a less invasive surgical procedure, may provide an alternative to END, while potentially reducing morbidity and cost. A decisive clinical trial comparing SLN Bx versus END can focus the HNC clinical and research community and resources on establishing the standard of care for management of the neck in early-stage OCC. Methods: In order to address the efficacy of SLN Bx in this population, we recently activated an international multi-institutional phase II/III prospective trial randomizing patients to two surgical arms: SLN Bx and END. PET/CT is an integral imaging biomarker in this trial. A node-negative PET/CT study with central read is required before randomization. Patients with a positive PET/CT central result will remain in a registry to compare imaging findings with final neck pathology. Given the current evidence available regarding morbidity for SLN Bx versus END, the phase II will determine if patient-reported neck and shoulder function and related QOL at 6 months after surgery using the Neck Dissection Impairment Index (NDII) shows a signal of superiority of SLN Bx compared to END. A total of 228 randomized patients with negative PET/CT for potential evaluation of shoulder-related morbidity with difference in 6-month NDII scores (minimum important difference ³7.5; one-sided a = 0.10; 90% power) will serve as the “Go/No-Go” decision to move forward into phase III. The phase III portion is a non-inferiority (NI) trial with disease-free survival (DFS) as the primary endpoint (NI margin hazard ratio 1.34 based on a 5% absolute difference in 2-year DFS; one-sided alpha 0.05; 80% power, and an interim look for efficacy at 67% of the events based on an O’Brien-Fleming boundary). The NDII at 6 months after surgery is a hierarchical co-primary endpoint for the phase III. Target accrual of phase III is 618 PET/CT negative patients, including those randomized in phase II (297 DFS events required for the final analysis). In addition to radiotherapy and imaging credentialing, quality assurance will include central pathology review of all negative SLN Bx cases and surgeon credentialing through an education course and SLN Bx and END case review by the surgical co-chairs. A surgical quality assurance working group will review all trial SLN Bx and END outcomes. As of 02/15/21, 7 patients have been screened and 6 of the planned 228 randomized patients in phase II have been enrolled. Clinical trial information: NCT04333537.

6015 Background: Cetuximab (C), an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (mAb), is approved for advanced HNSCC but benefits a minority. Crosstalk between the EGFR and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/cMet pathways is a known resistance mechanism. HGF is also immunosuppressive within the tumor microenvironment. A Phase I study confirmed the safety of C and ficlatuzumab (F), an IgG1 anti-HGF mAb, with preliminary efficacy and biomarker data suggesting that dual pathway inhibition may overcome tumor-intrinsic or immune cetuximab resistance. Methods: The primary objective of this phase II randomized, non-comparative trial was to evaluate the efficacy of F (20 mg/kg every 2 wks), with or without C (500 mg/m2 every 2 wks), in pan-refractory, advanced HNSCC. Eligibility criteria included recurrent/metastatic HNSCC, performance status (PS) 0-1, C resistance (defined as progression on or within 6 months of exposure), and resistance to or ineligibility for platinum and anti-PD1 mAb. Randomization was stratified by HPV status and center. The primary endpoint was median progression-free survival (mPFS). An arm was deemed worthy of further study if the lower bound of the 90% 1-sided confidence interval (CI) excluded the historical control of 2 months. Secondary objectives included overall response rate (ORR) in the overall and HPV-stratified populations. A Bayesian continuous monitoring rule for futility was applied. Results: 60 patients were randomized and 58 treated between Jan 2018 and Dec 2020 (27 to F; 33 to FC). Baseline characteristics were balanced across major prognostic variables including age, PS, HPV status, platinum resistance, and PD1 mAb exposure. Median time since prior cetuximab was 3.5 months (range 0-48 months). Grade ≥3 adverse events attributed to F included: pneumonitis (2); edema (3); diarrhea (1); LFT elevation (1); rash (2); electrolyte abnormality (2). The Table presents efficacy data. The F arm stopped for futility after 26 evaluable subjects accrued. The FC arm completed accrual and met the primary endpoint; 32 evaluable subjects had mPFS of 3.6 months (lower bound 90% 1-sided CI: 2.3 months) and ORR of 19% (6/32). All responses were in HPV- subjects, including 2 complete (CR) and 4 partial responses (PR) to the FC combination and 1 PR to F monotherapy. The mPFS and ORR for the HPV- population (n = 16) on FC were 3.8 months and 38% (6/16). Mechanistic signaling and immune biomarkers are under analysis. Conclusions: The well-tolerated FC combination met the primary PFS endpoint in pan-refractory, advanced HNSCC with notable activity in HPV- HNSCC, warranting phase III investigation. Clinical trial information: NCT03422536. [Table: see text]

4557 Background: A recent phase III trial of intermittent vs. continuous AD supports IAD as standard of care for men treated with AD for BR. To identify potential prognostic factors during 1OFF, times to T and PSA rises from our prospective trial of IAD in men with BR were analyzed in relation to times to CRPC and PCM. Methods: 72 men with BR after definitive local therapy were treated with IAD, each cycle consisting of 9 months of leuprolide and flutamide followed by a variable “off treatment” interval. T and PSA were followed monthly; AD was resumed when PSA reached a pre-specified value. Cycles repeated until CRPC, defined as ≥2 PSA rises with T≤50 ng/dL. Markers of interest from 1OFF-2ON were time to first T>50, time from first T>50 to first PSA rise ≥0.1 ng/mL, time to first PSA rise ≥0.1, and PSA doubling time (PSAdt), calculated using the first 3 PSA measurements starting from first PSA ≥0.1. The associations of these markers with CRPC and PCM were evaluated using Cox proportional hazards models (or logistic regression if the Cox proportional hazards assumption was not met), controlling for age at study entry and Gleason score categorized to ≤7 or >7. Results: A 30-day increase in time to first T>50 was significantly associated with a 75% increase in the risk of PCM. A 30-day increase in time to PSA rise from 1OFF or after T>50 was significantly associated with a 23% or 72% reduction in the risk of CRPC, respectively. While neither of the associations of PSAdt with CRPC or PCM were significant, they were of moderate size: PSAdt displayed a moderate reduction in risk of CRPC by 35% and PCM by 38%. Conclusions: During the first “off treatment” interval of IAD, the time to first T>50 is prognostic for PCM. Time to first PSA rise after 1OFF and after first T>50 are both prognostic for CRPC.

8510 Background: RRMM patients (pts) who have exhausted treatment (Tx) with bortezomib (BORT) and lenalidomide (LEN) or thalidomide have a poor prognosis with short overall survival (OS). HiDEX is a well-established standard Tx in RRMM. POM has demonstrated clinical efficacy in pts refractory to LEN and BORT. MM-003 compared POM + LoDEX vs. HiDEX in RRMM pts who failed LEN and BORT and who progressed on their last Tx. Methods: Pts must have been refractory to last prior Tx (progressive disease [PD] during Tx or within 60 days) and failed LEN and BORT after ≥ 2 consecutive cycles of each (alone or in combination). Pts were randomized 2:1 to receive 28-day cycles of POM 4 mg D1–21 + DEX 40 mg (20 mg for pts aged > 75 y) weekly or DEX 40 mg (20 mg for pts aged > 75 y) D1–4, 9–12, and 17–20. Tx continued until PD or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included OS, overall response rate (ORR; ≥ partial response), and safety. Analyses were based on intent to treat. Results: 455 pts were randomized to POM + LoDEX (n = 302) or HiDEX (n = 153). The median number of prior Tx was 5 (range 1-17). 72% were refractory to LEN and BORT. Median follow-up was 4 months. POM + LoDEX significantly extended median PFS (3.6 vs. 1.8 months, HR = 0.45, P < .001) and OS (not reached vs. 7.8 months, HR = 0.53, P < .001) vs. HiDEX. The OS benefit was observed despite 29% of HiDEX pts receiving POM after PD. The trial met the primary endpoint of PFS, crossed the upper boundary for OS superiority, and the Data Monitoring Committee recommended crossover from HiDEX to POM ± DEX. With updated data, the ORR was 21% for POM + LoDEX vs. 3% for HiDEX (P < .001) and 24% vs 3% for pts randomized ≥ 6 months post-enrollment (P < .001). The most frequent grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) for POM + LoDEX vs. HiDEX were neutropenia (42% vs. 15%), anemia (27% vs. 29%), and infection (24% vs. 23%). Discontinuation due to AEs was infrequent (7% vs. 6%). Updated data will be presented. Conclusions: POM + LoDEX significantly extended PFS and OS vs. HiDEX in pts who failed LEN and BORT. POM + LoDEX should become a standard of care in RRMM pts who have exhausted Tx with LEN and BORT. Clinical trial information: NCT01311687.

Background:Voclosporin (VCS) is a novel high potency calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) with a favorable metabolic profile and a consistent predictable dose response potentially eliminating the need for therapeutic drug monitoring. LN occurs more frequently and is more severe in Hispanic/Latino ethnicity SLE patients. The recently completed phase 3 AURORA study builds on the favorable efficacy seen in the Phase IIb AURA-LV study in patients with active LN.Objectives:Document efficacy and safety of VCS vs placebo over one year when used with 2 grams of MMF daily and a rapid steroid taper in patients with active LN.Methods:AURORA is a Phase III multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 52-week study of active LN patients. Patients were randomized 1:1 to VCS (23.7 mg BID) or placebo in combination with mycophenolate (MMF, 1 g BID) and rapidly tapered oral steroids. The primary endpoint was renal response (RR) at 52 weeks, defined as UPCR of ≤ 0.5 mg/mg, eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min, or no confirmed decrease from baseline in eGFR of > 20%, presence of sustained, low dose steroids and no administration of rescue medication. Ethnicity subgroup analyses of RR was also undertaken given the higher severity of disease in the Hispanic/Latino LN patients.Results:There were 357 patients enrolled, 88% female, median age of 31 and 33% of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity. Renal response by intention to treat analysis at 52 weeks was 40.8% for the voclosporin arm and 22.5% for the control arm (OR: 2.65; 95% CI: 1.64, 4.27; p< 0.001); therefore, AURORA met its primary endpoint. These findings were consistent with those observed in the previously completed pivotal AURA-LV study. Ethnicity subgroup analysis of RR at 52 weeks noted benefit of VCS in both Hispanic/Latino (VCS 38.6% and control 18.6%, p=0.0062, OR 3.45) and non-Hispanic/Latino patients (VCS 41.8% and control 24.6%, p=0.0045, OR 2.29). The benefits of VCS were also seen for all pre-specified hierarchical secondary endpoints: RR at 24 weeks, partial renal response (PRR) at 24 and 52 weeks, time to achieve UPCR ≤ 0.5, and time to 50% reduction in UPCR. Furthermore, all pre-specified subgroup analyses (age, sex, race, biopsy class, region, and prior MMF use) favored VCS. VCS was well tolerated with no unexpected safety signals. The overall incidence of SAEs were similar in both groups (VCS 20.8% and control 21.3%); with infection most commonly reported (VCS 10.1% and control 11.2%). Overall mortality in the trial was low, with one death in the voclosporin arm and five in the control arm. Additionally, the VCS arm showed no significant decrease at week 52 in eGFR or increase in BP, lipids, or glucose.Conclusion:The AURORA study met its primary endpoint and VCS was efficacious in Hispanic/Latino ethnicity patients, a difficult to treat group.Disclosure of Interests:Cristina Arriens Grant/research support from: - BMS: Investigator Initiated Trial Research Funding, GSK: Investigator Initiated Trial Research Funding, Exagen: Research Grant, Consultant of: AstraZeneca (Sci Ad Board Dec 2017), GSK (Sci Ad Board Oct 2018), BMS (Sci Ad Board April 2019), Svetlana Polyakova: None declared, Igor Adzerikho: None declared, Simrat Randhawa Shareholder of: Aurinia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. stock, Employee of: Aurinia Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Neil Solomons Shareholder of: Aurinia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. stock, Employee of: Aurinia Pharmaceuticals.

6027 Background: A randomized controlled trial was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of dose-dense, weekly paclitaxel plus carboplatin (ddTC) with or without bevacizumab (Bmab) compared to conventional, tri-weekly paclitaxel plus carboplatin (cTC) with or without Bmab, in metastatic or recurrent cervical carcinoma not amenable to curative treatments with local therapy. Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to either a cTC or a ddTC regimen. After Bmab was approved in Japan (in May 2016) the protocol was amended, and patients on both arms received Bmab if not contraindicated. The cTC was paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) for 3 h on day 1 followed by carboplatin at an area under the curve of five IV for 1 h on day 1. The ddTC was paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 IV for 1 h on day 1 followed by carboplatin at an area under the curve of five IV for 1 h on day 1 and paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 IV for 1 h on day 8 and day 15. Both cTC and ddTC treatments were repeated every three weeks, for up to nine cycles. Bmab 15 mg/kg IV was repeated until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint of phase II was the response rate (RR) in patients with measurable lesion, who had received Bmab. If the RR of the ddTC + Bmab arm was greater than that of the cTC + Bmab arm for more than 5%, the study would proceed to phase III, which had overall survival (OS) as its primary endpoint. The planned sample size in the phase II part was 56 to select the ddTC arm with a probability of at least 75% if the difference of RR was 15% or more (45% vs. 60%). Results: Patient accrual started in October 2015. It was suspended in May 2019 because the number of Bmab-treated patients with measurable lesions reached 56. In total, 122 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the cTC arm (cTC: 29 patients; cTC + Bmab: 32 patients) or the ddTC arm (ddTC: 30 patients; ddTC + Bmab: 31 patients). The primary analysis of the phase II part was conducted in November 2019. The RRs of each regimen were 67.9% [95% CI, 47.7-84.1] (19/28, cTC + Bmab), 60.7% [40.6-78.5] (17/28, ddTC + Bmab), 55.2% [35.7-73.6] (16/29, cTC), and 50.0% [29.9-70.1] (13/26, ddTC). Conclusions: The study did not meet the primary endpoint of phase II. Dose-dense, weekly paclitaxel plus carboplatin is not promising for metastatic or recurrent cervical carcinoma.

7520 Background: Both ibr and ven have activity in relapsed/refractory (R/R) MCL, but complete remissions (CR) are attained in <25% with either. We sought to determine the activity of the combination in an investigator-initiated, phase 2 study. Methods: Enrolment of 24 patients (pts) with R/R (n=23) or frontline (n=1) MCL completed in 09/16. Pts received 4 weeks of ibr (560mg/d), followed by introduction of ven (weekly ramp-up to target 400mg/d). The primary endpoint was CR rate at week 16, as assessed by PET/CT, BMAT, flow & molecular MRD, and endoscopy (if baseline gut involvement). Response was calculated separately with and without knowledge of the PET result by IWG criteria (Cheson JCO 2007), in order to compare with published studies (ibr, 9% CR at wk16; ven, best CR rate 21%). Results: Median age of pts was 68 (range, 47-81) years. For the R/R pts (n=23), median lines of prior therapy was 2 (1-6), 48% were refractory to last treatment, and 30% had failed previous autologous SCT. As of data cutoff on Jan 11 2017, 18 pts remain on therapy, and 6 stopped treatment due to progressive disease (4), adverse event (1) or unrelated death (1). At week 16, ORR was 71% (63% CR) and 80% of complete responders were flow-cytometry negative in the marrow (sensitivity 10-3 to 10-4). Using CT without PET, the comparison responses were CR 42%, CRu 17%, PR 17% (ORR 78%). After a median follow-up of 8.3 (range 1.4-17.7) months, the 8-month estimates of PFS and OS months are 74% and 81%. Adverse events ≥20%, irrespective of attribution, were fatigue (71%), diarrhea (67%), nausea (50%), URTI (38%), gastro-esophageal reflux (33%), neutropenia (33%), cough (25%) and bruising (21%); with the exception of neutropenia (25% grade 3-4), these were predominantly grade 1-2 in severity. Tumour lysis syndrome occurred in 2 pts with high tumour burden, leading to revision of the protocol ven starting dose from 50mg, to 20mg/d. Conclusions: The combination of ibr and ven was tolerable and achieved CR rate of 63% at week 16 in pts with MCL. The efficacy results compare favorably with historical results, and warrant further phase III investigation. Clinical trial information: NCT02471391.
