Abstract Introduction Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare endocrine malignancy with limited treatment options. Theranostic approaches with adrenal specific radiotracers hold promise for improved diagnostics and treatment. Here, we report a new theranostic approach to advanced ACC applying (R)-1-[1-(4-[ 123I]Iodophenyl)ethyl]-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid azetidinyl amide ([ 123I]IMAZA) for diagnostic imaging and [ 131I]IMAZA for radionuclide therapy. Patients and treatment 69 patients with non-resectable, metastatic ACC were screened, using a diagnostic [ 123I]IMAZA scan. Patients with significant uptake in all tumoral lesions were offered treatment with [ 131I]IMAZA. Tumor response was assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST version 1.1), and adverse effects were assessed by Common Toxicity Criteria (version 5.0). Results After screening, 13 patients were treated with a median of 25.7 GBq [ 131I]IMAZA (range, 18.1–30.7 GBq). Five individuals received a second treatment course. Best response was a decrease in the RECIST target lesions of 26% in two patients. Five patients with disease stabilization experienced a median progression-free survival of 14.3 months (range, 8.321.9). Median overall survival in all patients was 14.1 months (4.056.5) after therapy. Treatment was well tolerated, i.e. no severe toxicities (CTCAE grade ≥3) were observed. Conclusion In patients with advanced ACC refractory to standard therapeutic regimens, [ 131I]IMAZA treatment was associated with disease stabilization and non-significant tumour size reduction in a significant patient fraction and only limited toxicities. High [ 131I]IMAZA-uptake in tumor lesions was observed in 38.5% of patients with advanced ACC, rendering [131I] IMAZA a potential treatment option in a limited, well-defined patient fraction. Further clinical trials will be necessary to evaluate the full potential of this novel theranostic approach.

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare endocrine malignancy with limited treatment options in the advanced stages. Immunotherapy offers hope for altering the orthodox management of cancer, and its role in advanced ACC has been investigated in different studies. With the aim clarifying the role of immunotherapy in ACC we performed a comprehensive review about this topic focusing on the predictors of response, efficacy, safety, and the mechanisms of resistance. Five clinical trials with four immune checkpoint inhibitors (pembrolizumab, avelumab, nivolumab, and ipilimumab) have investigated the role of immunotherapy in advanced ACC. Despite, the different primary endpoints used in these studies, the reported rates of overall response rate and progression free survival were generally poor. Three main potential markers of response to immunotherapy in ACC have been described: Expression of PD-1 and PD-L1, microsatellite instability and tumor mutational burden. However, none of them has been validated in prospective studies. Several mechanisms of ACC immunoevasion may be responsible of immunotherapy failure, and a greater knowledge of these mechanisms might lead to the development of new strategies to overcome the immunotherapy resistance. In conclusion, although currently the role of immunotherapy is limited, the identification of immunological markers of response and the implementation of strategies to avoid immunotherapy resistance could improve the efficacy of this therapy.

Phase 1B

e16006 Background: FTD/TPI, an antimetabolite, is approved for treatment of refractory mGEC. This study sought to determine whether the combination of FTD/TPI with IRI (“TASIRI”) was safe and effective in mGEC previously treated with FP. Methods: This investigator‐initiated, multicenter, open‐label, single-dose level, single‐arm phase 1b study enrolled pts with mGEC previously treated with at least one line of FP containing regimen. FTD/TPI was given at 25 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1 to 5 with 180 mg/m2 IRI on day 1 of a 14‐day cycle. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival at six months (mo) (PFS-6). The aim was to show an improvement of PFS-6 from 15% to at least 30% based on historical controls. Results: At the time of data-cutoff (03Feb2021), 23 pts were screened and ultimately 20 pts were treated. The study met its primary endpoint. With a median follow-up of 9.8 mo (range 0.7 – 17), 8 pts are still on treatment and 4 pts have died. PFS-6 is 53.9% (lower limit of 95% CI: 28%). Median PFS and overall survival are 6.9 mo and not reached, respectively. At the time of data-cutoff, data were available for 13 pts with measurable disease by RECIST criteria and at least 1 on-treatment scan. Of those, 11 had stable disease and 2 had progressive disease as best response (5 pts had tumor shrinkage < 30%), therefore the disease control rate was 84.6%. The most common any grade (G) treatment related adverse events (TRAE) were nausea (n = 14, 70%), diarrhea (n = 9, 45%), and fatigue (n = 8, 40%). G3-4 TRAE in > 5% of pts were anemia (17%) and neutropenia (9%). 2 serious TRAE were reported: G4 febrile neutropenia (n = 1) and G3 hypotension (n = 1). There was no G5 TRAE. Conclusions: The combination of TASIRI showed encouraging clinical activity with a meaningful improvement in PFS-6 compared to historic controls. TASIRI was well tolerated and no new safety signals were seen. TASIRI warrants further investigation for patients with refractory mGEC and limited treatment options. Updated results with longer follow-up will be presented at the meeting. Clinical trial information: NCT04074343.

1564 Background: Patients with recurrent anaplastic glioma (AG) have few treatment options after initial alkylating agent therapy. In this study, the efficacy of thalidomide and irinotecan against recurrent AG was tested to assess if synergistic activity of cytotoxic and antiangiogenic agents could affect clinical outcome. Methods: Patients with recurrent AG with a KPS≥70 not on enzyme inducing anticonvulsants and with fewer than three relapses after radiation therapy and chemotherapies were eligible; the total planned enrollment is 39 patients. Irinotecan is administered at 125 mg/m2 weekly for 4 weeks followed by 2 weeks rest; thalidomide is initiated at 100 mg daily and escalated weekly up to 400 mg daily. Warfarin (1 mg) is given for prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Patients undergo clinical and radiologic evaluations every 6-weeks. The primary endpoint is progression free survival at 6 months (PFS-6). To determine possible radiologic correlates to treatment effects, DCE- MR perfusion-imaging studies are obtained at baseline and subsequent follow up visits. Results: 17 are evaluable for response; the remainder were inevaluable. All evaluable patients had previously failed temozolomide and 9 had also failed nitrosourea therapy. The median age is 44 yrs and median KPS is 90. Four patients are alive and progression free at 6-months whereas 9 have progressed; the median progression free survival is 23 weeks and the PFS-6 is 34%. The best response was a CR in one patient, PR in 2 and stable disease in 9. Two patients have died of unspecified causes probably related to treatment. Median overall survival has not been reached; the 12-month and 18 month survivals by Kaplan Meier analysis are 73% and 26% respectively. Grade 3 and 4 toxicities included fatigue (29%), leukopenia (29%), nausea/vomitting (24%), and diarrhea (18%) requiring dose reductions. Two patients had VTE. Conclusions: The preliminary results of this ongoing study suggest that the combination of irinotecan and thalidomide has activity in patients with recurrent anaplastic gliomas; the ongoing assessment of this combination in patients with AG will more definitively define whether the combination can be an effective second line therapy for this population.

18115 Background: One retrospective study (Hotta K, Ann Oncol 2005), investigating the prognosis of patients (pts) obtaining SD as best response with G treatment, has demonstrated that both progression-free survival (PFS) and survival (S) were significantly longer than those in pts with progressive disease (PD). The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the PFS and S outcome in pts with advanced NSCLC who achieved SD or partial response (PR) after treatment with E or G. Methods: Pooled data from 62 pts, entered into an open label phase II program of E (n=31) and a compassionate-use program of G (n=31), were retrospectively analyzed. E and G were given orally at 150 and 250 mg per day respectively and were continued until disease progression, development of unacceptable toxicity or patient’s refusal. Results: Pts characteristics: median age 69 years (42–85); females= 21 pts (34%); never/former smokers= 16/38 pts (26/61%); adenocarcinoma/BAC= 35/10 pts (56/16%); PS 0/1= 18/38 pts (29/61%). In 16 pts (26%) E or G were given as first-line therapy; 21 pts (34%) had received =2 prior lines of chemotherapy. Six pts (10%) achieved a PR and 18 pts (29%) obtained SD. TTP and OS in pts obtaining PR and SD were comparable: 7 vs 5.5 and 9.7 vs 9.1 months respectively. In progressing pts median TTP and OS were 1.7 and 3.7 months. Conclusions: Our findings indicate the importance of achieving disease control with both E and G treatment. Pts obtaining SD had a similar PFS and S compared with those having PR. An analysis of the role of mutational status and other biomarkers in predicting clinical outcome is currently underway. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

423 Background: Response to VEGF targeted therapies has been recently shown to be an important prognostic and predictive marker in metastatic RCC. However, whether the extent of tumor shrinkage (TS) correlates with distinct clinical outcome remains unknown. We investigated the role of early TS fractions on median progression free survival (PFS) and median overall survival (OS). Methods: Tumor evaluations according to RECIST 1.1 were performed within 3 months (mo) of targeted therapy with a VEGF inhibitor in 108 patients (pts). Pts were then categorized in fractions of TS: a) -100% to -60%; b) -60 % to -30% and c) -30% to 0% or gain in tumour size: d) 0% to +20% and e) > +20%. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank analyses were performed to estimate PFS and OS with a landmark set to 6 mo. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was utilized for evaluation of prognostic factors. Results: First-line VEGF inhibition achieved a PFS of 10.6 mo (95% CI 8.7 – 12.5) and an OS of 29.8 mo (95% CI 23.9 – 35.6) in all pts. 5 pts achieved a complete remission (4.6%), 28 pts a partial remission (25.9%), 52 pts. stable disease (48.2%), and 23 pts. had progressive disease (21.3%) as best response. In univariate analyses histology (clear cell differentiation vs. others) and TS were associated with PFS (p = 0.026; p <0.0001) and OS (p = 0.017; p = 0.009). Multivariate analyses confirmed the relevance of TS as a prognostic variable for OS (p = 0.021; HR 1.49) and PFS (p = <0.001; HR 1.91). Conclusions: TS is an independent predictive and prognostic marker in first-line treatment with VEGF inhibitors in mRCC. [Table: see text]

e18513 Background: Distantly metastatic HNSCC carries a poor prognosis with limited palliative systemic treatment options and a paucity of literature examining factors impacting outcomes of such therapy. We sought to evaluate characteristics conferring more favorable responses to frontline palliative systemic therapy after distant failure (DF). Methods: From an IRB-approved database, we identified 332 pts with metastatic HNSCC treated from 1999 to 2019. Pts with locoregional HNSCC who developed DF and subsequently were treated with palliative systemic therapy were included. Pts were categorized by disease factors, and outcomes were analyzed for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) with Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank p-values. Results: A total of 85 pts were identified with median age 59.5 years (37-89); 82.4% male, 90.6% Caucasian, 52.9% with > 10 pack-years tobacco use history. Oropharynx primary was the most common site (36.5%) followed by oral cavity (23.5%). All 31 oropharynx cancer pts were HPV-related. Sixty-six pts initially received definitive chemoradiotherapy, with 43 receiving concurrent radiosensitizing cisplatin. Median time to DF was 15 months (m). Thirty pts (35.3%) had concurrent locoregional failure with DF. 62.4% had only one metastatic organ site, with lung-only metastasis in 43.5%. Carboplatin/paclitaxel was the most commonly used frontline palliative chemotherapy (50.6%); 22.4% received frontline nivolumab or pembrolizumab, and 9.4% were treated with frontline platinum/5-FU/cetuximab (9.4%). 63.5% of pts achieved a best response of stable disease or better with frontline therapy. At two years after initial DF, 6 pts (7%) were disease-free. Sixteen pts were alive at last follow-up. After DF, median PFS was 6.5 m and median OS was 10.6 m. On univariate analysis, HPV-related disease was associated with increased PFS (9.5 vs 5.1 m, p < 0.0001) and increased OS (21.1 vs 7.7 m, p < 0.0001). Pts with one metastatic organ site had better OS (11.0 vs 6.2 m, p = 0.047). There was a trend of increased OS with lung-only metastasis (14.4 vs 7.7 m, p = 0.0776), and absence of concurrent locoregional failure (10.8 vs 8.3 m, p = 0.1153). Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that HPV-related metastatic HNSCC is associated with a statistically significant increased PFS and OS. Additionally, there was a trend of increased OS with lower locoregional and distant metastatic burden at DF though statistical significance was not achieved.

7515 Background: PCNSL is an aggressive primary brain tumor with median progression free survival (PFS) after upfront methotrexate-based chemotherapy of 2-3 years. Outcome and treatment options are poor for recurrent/refractory (r/r) disease. Ibrutinib has shown promising clinical response in Mantle cell lymphoma, CLL, Marginal Zone, and Waldenström. This trial investigates Ibrutinib in patients with r/r PCNSL and SCNSL. Methods: Eligible patients had r/r PCNSL or SCNSL, age≥18, ECOG≤2, normal end-organ function, and unrestricted number of CNS directed prior therapies. In patients with SCNSL disease, systemic disease needed to be absent. Results: Twenty-five patients were enrolled (3 at 560 mg; 22 at 840 mg). Median age was 68 (range 21-85); 15 were women. Median ECOG was 1 (0: 2, 1: 15, 2: 8). 64% had PCNSL and 36% SCNSL; 68% had recurrent disease. Seventeen had parenchymal disease, 3 isolated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) involvement and 5 both. Seven grade 4 adverse events were observed in 7 patients neutropenia (in 3 patients), lymphopenia (2), sepsis (1), and ALT elevation (1). Fourteen patients developed 20 grade 3 toxicities, including lymphopenia in 5 patients, hyperglycemia in 3, ALT elevation in 2, thrombocytopenia in 2, lung infection in 2, AST elevation in 1, neutropenia in 1, urinary tract infection in 1, colitis in 1, febrile neutropenia in 1 and fungal encephalitis in 1. The most common toxicities at any grade were hyperglycemia, thrombocytopenia and anemia of which most were grade 1/2. No grade 5 events have been observed. After a median follow-up of 414 days (range 289-674), 22/25 patients were evaluated for response (3 did not complete at least 15 days of drug treatment). Over all response was 68% (17/22; 77% (17/22) in patient that completed at least 15 days of drug treatment) with 10 CR, 7 PR, 2 SD and 3 PD as best response. The median PFS is 4.6 months (5.4 months in patients that completed at least 15 days of drug treatment; longest: 15.3 months). The median overall survival has not been reached. Conclusions: Patients with CNS lymphoma tolerate Ibrutinib with manageable adverse events. Clinical response was seen in 68% of CNS lymphoma patients. Clinical trial information: NCT02315326.

The onset of brain metastases (BM) is a major turning point during advanced breast cancer (ABC) evolution, with only few treatment options when local therapies have failed. The therapeutic effect of eribulin, a wildly used drug in the treatment of ABC, remains unclear in this setting. Patients and Methods: We performed a retrospective observational study to assess eribulin efficacy in patients with ABC who displayed BM at time of eribulin initiation. We collected data from the medical files of all ABC patients who received eribulin at our institution from 2012 until 2020. Our main endpoint was the central nervous system (CNS) progression-free survival. (CNS-PFS). Other evaluation criteria were extra-cranial progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: Twenty patients with BM monitoring data available were selected out of the 549 who received eribulin during the inclusion period. Fifteen patients (75%) had BM progressive as the best response, three patients (15%) had disease stabilization for more than 6 months and only one patient had a partial response according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Median CNS-PFS was 3.39 months (95CI (3.02–3.76)). Cox univariate analysis identified molecular subtype as the only prognostic parameter in our cohort, with patients with hormone-receptor positive tumors less likely to experience CNS progression than those with triple-negative MBC (HR = 0.23 (95CI = 0.07–0.80), p = 0.021). Median extra-cranial PFS was 2.67 months (95CI (2.33–3.01)). Median OS was 7.68 months (95CI (0–17.41)). Conclusion: Eribulin seems to have only a limited impact on BM evolution. Hormone receptors expression may identify a subset of patients with better BM control.

BACKGROUND: PCNSL is an aggressive primary brain tumor with median progression free survival (PFS) after upfront methotrexate-based chemotherapy of 2-3 years. Outcome and treatment options are poor for recurrent/refractory (r/r) disease. This trial combines the pan-PI3K inhibitor copanlisib with Ibrutinib in patients with r/r PCNSL. METHODS: Eligible patients had r/r PCNSL, age≥18, ECOG≤2, normal end-organ function, and an unrestricted number of CNS directed prior therapies. Ibrutinib was given orally daily; copanlisib intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. RESULTS: Six patients have been enrolled so far and received copanlisib at 60 mg and ibrutinib at 560 mg. Median age was 68 (range 50-77); 3 were women. Median ECOG was 1 (0: 2, 1: 3, 2: 1). All had recurrent parenchymal disease. Three had additional cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) involvement. Two had received prior single-agent ibrutinib. Initially, no prophylactic antimicrobial treatment was required. PCP prophylaxis was made mandatory after one patient developed PCP pneumonia leading to a grade 5 lung infection. Four patients are still on trial and one withdrew due to personal choice. Two grade 4 adverse events were observed in 2 patients (LFT elevation, lymphopenia); four grade 3 events in 3 patients (rash, lymphopenia, LFT elevation). The most common toxicities at any grade were transient, infusion-related hyperglycemia and hypertension. No Aspergillus infections have been observed. Enrollment into the next dose level (copanlisib 60 mg, ibrutinib 840 mg) is ongoing. After a median follow-up of 180 days (range 46-249), all patients were evaluated for response with an overall response rate of 67% with 1 CR, 3 PR, 1 SD and 1 PD as best response. CONCLUSION: Treatment with copanlisib and ibrutinib in patients with PCNSL has manageable adverse events after initiation of mandatory PCP prophylaxis. Clinical response was seen in 67% of patients. Disclosures Grommes: Squipps: Speakers Bureau; Kite: Consultancy; BTG: Consultancy. OffLabel Disclosure: The combination of the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib and the pan PI3K inhibitor copanlisib in recurrent PCNSL will be discussed

4043 Background: Systemic treatment options for progressive metastatic NET, including islet cell carcinoma (ICC) and carcinoid tumor (CT), are limited. These tumors frequently express the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Gefitinib, a small-molecule inhibitor of the EGFR tyrosine kinase, has been shown to inhibit the growth of NET cell lines. Methods: Eligibility criteria included: radiographic progression by RECIST criteria, ECOG PS ≤ 2, ≤ 1 prior chemotherapy, and good organ function. Prior interferon and prior or concurrent octreotide (if disease progression documented on stable dose) were allowed. Pts received gefitinib 250 mg po daily. We evaluated 6 month (mos) progression-free survival (PFS) in two cohorts (ie, CT and ICC) using separate 2-stage phase II designs. 6 mos PFS rates of 30% (CT) and 10% (ICC) were considered promising. Results: 96 pts were enrolled: (57 CT, 39 ICC). For pts evaluable for the primary endpoint, 23 of 38 (61%) CT pts and 9 of 29 (31%) pts with ICC were progression-free at 6 mos. 1 PR and one minor response (MR = 20–29% decrease in sum of target lesion diameters) were observed in 40 CT pts; 2 PR and 1 MR in 31 ICC pts. In addition, 32% (12/38) of CT and 14% (4/29) of ICC pts had stable disease on study for a duration that exceeded by at least 4 months the time to progression documented prior to study entry. Grade 3–4 toxicity was infrequent with fatigue (6%), diarrhea (5%) and rash (3%) most common. Evaluation of markers of the EGFR pathway on tumor tissue will be presented. Conclusions: Gefitinib is well-tolerated and results in prolonged disease stabilization in pts with prior documented objective progression of CT and ICC, with rare objective responses.
