Abstract Background: SOX (oxaliplatin and S1 every 3 weeks) is one of the most common used first line chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic G/GEJ cancer in Asia, but with significant hematological and neurological toxicity. In China, the majority of gastric cancer patients are the middle-aged and elderly with dissatisfactory tolerance to 3-weekly chemotherapy. Therefore, we aimed to assess efficacy and safety of biweekly SOX as first line treatment in patients 60 years old or older with advanced G/GEJ cancer in a single arm phase 2 study. Methods: Oxaliplatin was administered intravenously on day 1 at 85 mg/m2. S-1 was given at 80, 100, 120 mg/day depending on body surface area of <1.25 m2, 1.25 to <1.5 m2, or ≥1.5 m2 two times daily on days 1-10, every 2 weeks. Eligible patients were aged 60 years old or older with histological or cytological diagnosis of advanced G/GEJ adenocarcinoma, had measurable disease according to the RECIST v 1.1 without previous treatment. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), and the secondary endpoints included progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR) and safety. Results: Between May 2016 and Sep 2018, 42 patients were enrolled. Median follow-up time was 43.6 months. ORR and DCR were 52.4% and 85.7%, respectively. Median PFS was 4.6 months (95%CI 2.486-6.714). Median OS was 11.1 months (95%CI 8.001-14.199). The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade were thrombocytopenia (59.5%), neutropenia (57.1%), appetite loss (57.1%) and nausea (54.8%). Only two patients respectively suffered from grade 3 treatment-related neutropenia (1 patient, [2.4%]) and diarrhea (1 patient, [2.4%]). No other grade 3 or worse TRAEs occurred. Conclusions: First line biweekly SOX showed promising PFS and OS with a remarkable tolerance in advanced G/GEJ cancer patients 60 years old or older preliminary worth further evaluation.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04694404 (5/1/2021). This study was approved by the Ethical Committee of National Cancer Center/ National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/ Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, (17-048/1303).

e17510 Background: Limited effective treatments are available for advanced cervical cancer patients who progress after first-line chemotherapy. Historic data indicate PD-1 antibodies have significant activity in advanced cervical cancer patients. This study was designed to determine the efficacy and safety of HLX10 (a recombinant humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody) plus albumin-bound paclitaxel in patients with advanced cervical cancer who have progressed on or are intolerant to first-line standard chemotherapy. Methods: This is an ongoing single-arm, open-label, multicenter, two-stage phase 2 study (NCT04150575). 143 eligible patients aged between 18 and 75, with histologically or cytologically diagnosed cervical cancer and positive PD-L1 expression (combined positive score [CPS] ≥1) were planned to be enrolled and given intravenous infusion of HLX10 (4.5 mg/kg) plus albumin-bound paclitaxel (260 mg/m2) every 3 weeks. Stage one (N = 20) was a safety run-in and preliminary efficacy exploration study with primary endpoints of adverse events, serious adverse events and objective response rate (ORR, assessed by IRRC per RECIST v1.1). In this stage, after all patients completed two tumor evaluations (every 6 weeks), a safety evaluation and a preliminary evaluation of anti-tumor efficacy were conducted to determine whether to proceed to the second stage (N = 123). Stage two is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, phase 2 study with primary endpoint of ORR assessed by IRRC per RECIST v1.1. Results: Here we report the stage one results (safety and preliminary efficacy) of HLX10 in advanced cervical cancer patients. By cut-off date Oct 14, 2020, 21 eligible patients with median age of 50 (range: 31–65) and average CPS of 39.33 were enrolled; the median follow-up duration was 4.34 months. 71.4% patients had ECOG PS 1. The ORR assessed by IRRC and investigators were 52.4% (95% CI: 29.8%, 74.3%) and 42.9% (95% CI: 21.8%, 66.0%), respectively. The most common grade 3 or worse treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were decreased neutrophil counts (n = 7, 33.3%), decreased white blood cell count (n = 6, 28.6%) and anemia (n = 4, 19.0%). No TEAEs leading to drug discontinuation were observed. One death (multiple organ dysfunction syndrome) possibly related to treatment was reported. Conclusions: Stage one results demonstrated a manageable safety profile and encouraging efficacy (ORR 52.4%) of HLX10 plus albumin-bound paclitaxel in advanced cervical cancer patients who have progressive disease or intolerable toxicity to first-line standard chemotherapy, representing a novel potential treatment option that warranted further investigation. Clinical trial information: NCT04150575.

4048 Background: T-DXd is an antibody–drug conjugate comprising an anti-HER2 antibody, a cleavable tetrapeptide-based linker, and a topoisomerase I inhibitor. DESTINY-Gastric01 (DS8201-A-J202; ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03329690) is an open-label, multicenter, randomized, phase 2 trial of T-DXd in patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer (GC) or GEJ adenocarcinoma. In the primary analysis (101 OS events; median survival follow-up, 12.3 mo), T-DXd showed statistically significant benefit vs standard chemotherapy in objective response rate (ORR) and OS (Shitara K, et al. N Engl J Med. 2020;382:2419-2430); here, we present the final OS analysis as well as updated efficacy and safety. Methods: Patients (pts) with locally advanced or metastatic, centrally confirmed HER2-positive (IHC3+ or IHC2+/ISH+ on archival tissue) GC or GEJ cancer that had progressed after ≥2 previous lines of therapy including trastuzumab were randomly assigned 2:1 (T-DXd 6.4 mg/kg Q3W or physician’s choice [PC] irinotecan [I] or paclitaxel [P]). Pts were stratified by country, ECOG performance status (0, 1), and HER2 status. Primary end point was ORR by independent central review. Key secondary end points were OS, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), confirmed ORR, and safety. Final OS analysis was performed at 133 OS events. Results: 187 pts received T-DXd (n = 125) or PC (n = 62 [55 I; 7 P]); 79.7% of pts were Japanese and 20.3% were Korean. Pts had a median of 2 prior lines of therapy, and 44.4% had ≥3. At data cutoff (June 3, 2020), 8% of T-DXd and 0% of PC pts remained on treatment (median survival follow-up, 18.5 mo). OS was improved with T-DXd vs PC (median OS, 12.5 vs 8.9 mo; hazard ratio [HR], 0.60 [95% CI, 0.42-0.86]); 12-month OS, 52.2% vs 29.7%. ORR was 51.3% (61/119; 11 CR; 50 PR) with T-DXd vs 14.3% (8/56; all PR) with PC ( P < 0.0001); confirmed ORR, 42.0% (50/119; 10 CR; 40 PR) vs 12.5% (7/56; all PR) ( P = 0.0001); DCR, 86.6% vs 62.5% ( P = 0.0003); confirmed median DOR, 12.5 vs 3.9 mo; median PFS, 5.6 vs 3.5 mo (HR, 0.47 [95% CI, 0.31-0.71]; P = 0.0003). Grade ≥3 AEs occurred in 85.6% of T-DXd pts vs 56.5% with PC; the most common were neutrophil count decreased (49.6%, 22.6%), anemia (38.4%, 22.6%), and white blood cell count decreased (20.8%, 11.3%). 16 pts (12.8%) had T-DXd–related interstitial lung disease (ILD; 13 grade 1/2, 2 grade 3, 1 grade 4, no grade 5) vs 0 with PC. As reported in the primary analysis, there was 1 T-DXd–related death from pneumonia (non-ILD). Conclusions: With additional follow-up after the primary analysis, T-DXd continued to demonstrate OS benefit and clinically relevant improvement in ORR compared with standard chemotherapy, and a manageable safety profile, in HER2-positive advanced GC or GEJ adenocarcinoma. Clinical trial information: NCT03329690.

e16040 Background: Surufatinib is a novel small-molecule kinase inhibitor targeting VEGFRs, FGFR and CSF-1R, simultaneous targeting of angiogenesis through VEGFRs/FGFR1 and modulating tumor immune microenvironment through CSF-1R may be a uniquely potent strategy to enhance antitumor activity. Toripalimab is a monoclonal humanized IgG4 PD-1 antibody. Encouraging efficacy of surufatinib plus toripalimab treating patients with advanced solid tumors was reported at 2020 AACR. This is an ongoing, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of surufatinib in combination with toripalimab in various solid tumors. Here we report the results of patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. Methods: Patients with histologically confirmed gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma who have failed first-line of systemic chemotherapy were enrolled. Surufatinib 250 mg once a day (QD) will be orally administrated and toripalimab 240 mg will be intravenously administered every 3 weeks. Primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1. Results: As of Dec 31, 2020, a total of 21 gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma patients were enrolled. The median age was 58 years old, and 81% of the patients were male. Median duration of treatment was 3 months (surufatinib, 3 months; toripalimab, 3 months). Among 15 patients with at least one post-baseline efficacy evaluation, 2 patients achieved confirmed partial response (PR), with 3 additional unconfirmed PR. And there were 6 in stable disease (SD), 3 in progressive disease (PD) and one not evaluable per RECIST v1.1. There were 5 in PR, 7 in SD and 2 in PD per irRECIST, respectively. The confirmed and unconfirmed ORR were 13.3% (95% CI: 1.7%-40.5%) and 33.3% (95% CI: 11.8%-61.6%), respectively. The disease control rate (DCR) was 73.3% (95% CI: 44.9%-92.2%) per RECIST v1.1. Median PFS was 3.71 months (95% CI: 1.41-unknown). 14.3% (3/21) of patients had treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of ≥ Grade 3. The most common TRAEs of ≥ Grade 3 were herpes zoster (4.8%), lymphopenia (4.8%), lymphocyte count decreased (4.8%), white blood cell count decreased (4.8%), liver injury (4.8%) and anaemia (4.8%). 4.8% (1/21) of patients had serious TRAEs. One patient died due to unknown reasons. Conclusions: Surufatinib plus toripalimab appeared to show encouraging activity in advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma with manageable safety profile. Such combination could be a promising strategy for advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma in the future. Clinical trial information: NCT04169672.

Abstract Background Ruxolitinib is a potent JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor that has demonstrated rapid and durable reductions in splenomegaly, improved MF-related symptoms and quality of life (QoL), and prolonged survival in 2 phase 3 studies comparing ruxolitinib with placebo (COMFORT-I) and best available therapy (COMFORT-II). However, no clinical trial in pts with MF had been conducted in Asian countries, and only a limited number of Asian pts or healthy volunteers had been enrolled in any ruxolitinib study. Methods This study was an open-label phase 2 study evaluating ruxolitinib in Asian pts with PMF, PPV-MF, or PET-MF who had palpable splenomegaly ≥ 5 cm below the costal margin and intermediate-2– or high-risk MF by the International Working Group for Myelofibrosis Research and Treatment (IWG-MRT) criteria. Pts received starting doses of ruxolitinib 15 or 20 mg twice daily (bid) based on baseline platelet count (100-200 or > 200 × 109/L, respectively); dose adjustments balancing safety and efficacy were allowed to titrate each pt to their most appropriate dose. The primary endpoint was met if the proportion of pts achieving ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume from baseline at week 24 was ≥ 27.5% as measured by MRI/CT. Symptomatic response was assessed as a secondary endpoint using the 7-day modified MF Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF) v2.0 total symptom score (TSS) and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QoL Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). The study was conducted in China (n = 63), Japan (n = 30), Korea (n = 17), and Taiwan (n = 10). The data cutoff date for this analysis was 7 June 2013. Results Overall, 120 pts were enrolled (PMF, n = 80; PPV-MF, n = 21; PET-MF, n = 19), and their baseline characteristics were as follows: median age, 61 years (range, 25-80 years); 51.7% female; 69.2% intermediate-2 and 30.8% high risk by IWG-MRT criteria; median palpable spleen size, 15 cm (range, 5-45 cm); median spleen volume, 2159 cm3; 55.8% of pts had prior exposure to hydroxyurea. The median follow-up was 8.44 months; 22.5% of pts discontinued treatment, primarily for adverse events (AEs; 9.2%) and disease progression (7.5%). The median duration of treatment was 8.44 months (range, 0.5-21.7 months), and the median daily dose was 20.64 mg/day in the 15 mg bid group (n = 46) and 36.11 mg/day in the 20 mg bid group (n = 74). All pts were evaluable for achievement of the primary endpoint, 101 pts remained on study and were evaluable at week 24, and 96 pts had nonzero scores on the MFSAF-TSS and were evaluable for a reduction from baseline. Most pts who had assessments at week 24 (91% [92/101]) had a reduction from baseline in spleen volume (Figure). The study met the primary endpoint, with 31.7% (38/120) of all pts achieving ≥ 35% reduction from baseline at week 24. Overall, 38.3% (46/120) of pts achieved ≥ 35% reduction from baseline in spleen volume at any time on study. As measured by the 7-day MFSAF, 49% (47/96) of pts achieved ≥ 50% reduction from baseline in TSS (median reduction, 47.2%). Pts experienced an improvement from baseline at week 24 in EORTC global health status/QoL (mean change, 5.2). The most common nonhematologic AEs (≥ 10%) regardless of relationship to study medication included diarrhea (25.8%), upper respiratory tract infection (17.5%), ALT level increased (15.0%), pyrexia (15.0%), AST level increased (13.3%), cough (11.7%), herpes zoster infection (11.7%), nasopharyngitis (10.8%), constipation (10.0%), gamma-glutamyl transferase level increased (10.0%), and headache (10.0%), and most were grade 1/2. Serious AEs were reported for 24.2% of pts, and 65.8% of all pts had grade 3/4 AEs. The most common new or worsening laboratory abnormalities were low hemoglobin (all grade 3, 55.7%), low lymphocyte (grade 3/4, 19.5%), low platelet (grade 3/4, 15.3%), and low ANC (grade 3/4, 7.6%) levels. AEs observed in this study were consistent with those observed in the 2 large phase 3 COMFORT studies. Six pts (5%) died on treatment or within 30 days of discontinuation. Summary/conclusions Findings from this study demonstrated that ruxolitinib was relatively well tolerated in Asian pts with MF and provided substantial reductions in splenomegaly and modest improvements in MF-associated symptoms. The AEs observed with ruxolitinib treatment in this study are consistent with those observed in the large phase 3 COMFORT studies, and there were no new AEs associated with ruxolitinib in Asian pts with MF.

310 Background: LEN inhibits the activity of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, fibroblast growth factor receptor, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor–α. These targets have been shown to be expressed in patients (pts) with BTC. The objective of this study is to evaluate LEN as a potential treatment option for these pts. Methods: This is an open-label, phase 2 study conducted in Japan. Pts aged ≥ 20 years with confirmed diagnosis of unresectable BTC, measureable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1, and 1 prior gemcitabine-based doublet chemotherapy, will receive LEN 24 mg/d. The primary endpoint is objective response rate. Secondary objectives include disease control rate (DCR), safety, and pharmacokinetics. Enrollment of 25 pts is planned. The study includes an interim evaluation for futility. If there is no objective response and disease control is achieved in < 5 pts of 15‒17 pts, the study will end. Results: An interim evaluation was performed with 17 pts enrolled (data cutoff: 25 July 2016). Ten (59%) pts were aged < 65 years, 10 (59%) were male, 2 (12%) had prior surgery, and 13 (76%) received prior gemcitabine + cisplatin therapy. Efficacy results appear in the table. One pt had a partial response (PR) and 13 had stable disease (SD). The DCR was 82%. All pts experienced treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Grade ≥ 3 TEAEs occurred in 11 (65%) and serious AEs (SAEs) occurred in 7 (41%) pts. There were no fatal SAEs. TEAEs leading to LEN discontinuation, dose reduction, and dose interruption occurred in 1 (6%), 12 (71%), and 9 (53%) pts, respectively. Analysis of trough plasma concentration in 13 pts from this study showed no difference versus that observed in a previous phase 3 study of LEN in differentiated thyroid cancer. Conclusions: Because results of this interim evaluation did not meet futility criteria, the study was continued, with findings suggesting possible activity of LEN in pts with unresectable BTC who failed gemcitabine-based doublet chemotherapy. Toxicities were generally manageable with dose modifications as only 1 pt required discontinuation from LEN. Clinical trial information: NCT02579616. [Table: see text]

217 Background: Durvalumab (D) and tremelimumab (T), monoclonal antibodies against PD-L1 and CTLA-4 immune checkpoints, have shown efficacy as monotherapy/combination therapy in multiple cancer types. Herein, we report a randomized phase 2 study to evaluate efficacy and safety of D monotherapy with or without T (D+T) in previously treated mPDAC. Methods: Part A was a lead-in safety and signal-seeking study with plans to expand to Part B as a nonrandomized or randomized controlled study pending efficacy signal. Eligible pts had progressive disease (PD) following front-line 5-FU- or gemcitabine-based therapy. In Part A, pts were randomized to D (1.5 g IV Q4W) or D+T (D 1.5 g IV + T 75 mg IV Q4W × 4 doses → D 1.5 g IV Q4W) for up to 12 months (mo) or until confirmed PD or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate per RECIST 1.1. Results: In Part A, 65 pts were randomized to D (n = 33) or D+T (n = 32). Due to a pretreatment death, 64 pts received therapy. Eleven pts (34.4%) in D+T and 10 (31.3%) in D had treatment-related adverse events (trAEs); 7 (22%) in D+T and 2 (6%) in D had grade ≥3 trAEs. Common trAEs: fatigue (12.5%), diarrhea (12.5%), and hypothyroidism (9.4%) in D+T; fatigue (9.4%), diarrhea (6.3%), and pruritus (6.3%) in D. Grade ≥3 trAEs were diarrhea (9.4%), fatigue (6.3%) in D+T and ascites (3.1%), hepatitis (3.1%), and increased lipase (3.1%) in D. In D+T, 3 (9.4%) pts and 1 (3.1%) in D discontinued therapy due to trAEs. No trAEs resulted in death. In D+T, 1 (3.1%) pt had a durable confirmed partial response (PR) > 12 mo and disease control rate (DCR) was 9.4%. In D, 2 (6.1%) pts had unconfirmed PRs, and the DCR was 6.1%. Median PFS in both arms was 1.5 mo, and median OS was 3.1 mo in D+T and 3.6 mo in D. Biomarker analyses (tumor mutation burden, PD-L1 and microsatellite status) are currently being evaluated. Conclusions: Typical safety profiles were observed for D or D+T in mPDAC. Part B was not enrolled as the threshold for efficacy was not met in Part A. D and D+T had modest activity in second-line non-selected mPDAC, underpinning the need for multimodal immune-based combinations to overcome intrinsic resistance in this disease. Clinical trial information: NCT02558894.

TPS707 Background: Based on findings from a randomized phase 2 study (Study 205), lenvatinib (LEN) + everolimus (EVE) was approved in the United States and European Union for patients (pts) with advanced RCC following 1 prior anti-angiogenic therapy. In that study, LEN 18 mg QD + EVE 5 mg QD significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) compared with either monotherapy. In the LEN+EVE cohort, grades 3 and 4 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 71% of pts. We report the design of an ongoing, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, phase 2 study (Study 218) to evaluate if a lower LEN starting dosage regimen provides similar efficacy with a better safety profile than LEN 18 mg + EVE 5 mg (NCT03173560). Methods: Eligible pts are aged ≥ 18 years with advanced clear cell RCC, 1 prior anti-VEGF therapy, ≥ 1 measurable target lesion per RECIST 1.1, a KPS score of ≥ 70, and prior nivolumab is allowed. Pts will receive LEN 18 mg or 14 mg QD + EVE 5 mg QD in 28-day cycles until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The LEN 14-mg dose will be escalated to 18 mg if no intolerable grade 2, or any grade ≥ 3 TEAEs requiring dose reduction occur in cycle 1. The primary endpoints are objective response rate (ORR) at week 24 (ORR24W) and the proportion of pts with intolerable grade 2 and any grade ≥ 3 TEAEs within 24 wks after randomization. Secondary endpoints include PFS and ORR. An estimated 306 pts will be randomized. Sample size is based on detecting noninferiority (NI) of ORR24W and superiority of the primary safety endpoint. Two interim analyses (IA) will be performed when 150 and 200 pts have completed 24 wks of follow-up or discontinue earlier. Each analysis will test NI and futility of the LEN 14-mg arm ORR24W vs the 18-mg arm ORR24W. An O’Brien-Fleming boundary will be used for NI. If the 1-sided P-value is ≤ 0.005 at the first IA, ≤ 0.014 at the second IA, or ≤ 0.045 at the final analysis, then NI in ORR24W will be claimed. If the futility boundary is crossed (ie, 1-sided P-value is ≥ 0.776 at the first IA or ≥ 0.207 at the second IA), then futility will be claimed. Clinical trial information: NCT03173560.

9526 Background: Primary analysis (Oct 2017) of cemiplimab (REGN2810) in pts with mCSCC in a Phase 2 study demonstrated substantial antitumor activity, durable responses, and acceptable safety profile. We now report 12-month follow-up data from these pts (NCT02760498; data cutoff date: Sep 20, 2018). Methods: Pts with mCSCC received cemiplimab 3 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks (Q2W). Tumor measurements were performed Q8W. The primary objective was to evaluate objective response rate (ORR; complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) according to independent central review (per RECIST 1.1 for scans; modified WHO criteria for photos). Results: 59 pts (median age: 71 years) were enrolled. Median duration of follow-up was 16.5 months (range: 1.1–26.6). ORR by central review was 49.2% (95% CI: 35.9–62.5; 10 CRs and 19 PRs [4 CRs and 25 PRs by investigator-assessment (INV)]). Median duration of response (DOR) has not been reached. The longest DOR at data cut-off was 21.6 months and was still ongoing. Observed DOR exceeded 12 months in 22/29 pts (75.9%) with response. Durable disease control rate (stable disease or response for ≥16 weeks) was 62.7% (95% CI: 49.1–75.0). Median observed time to response was 1.9 months (range: 1.7–9.1). Median progression-free survival was 18.4 months (95% CI: 7.3–not evaluable); median overall survival has not been reached. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (all grades, Grade ≥3) were diarrhea (28.8%, 1.7%), fatigue (25.4%, 1.7%), and nausea (23.7%, 0%). By INV, grade ≥3 immune-related adverse events occurred in 13.6% of pts. Conclusions: This analysis demonstrates substantial antitumor activity and increasing DOR with cemiplimab 3 mg/kg Q2W in pts with mCSCC. There were no new safety signals. These data strongly support the recent FDA approval of cemiplimab-rwlc for pts with mCSCC or locally advanced CSCC who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation. Clinical trial information: NCT02760498.
