This study investigated the antitumor activity and safety of pembrolizumab in patients with recurrent cervical cancer in real-world practice. We conducted a multi-center retrospective study of patients with recurrent or persistent cervical cancer treated with pembrolizumab at sixteen institutions in Korea between January 2016 and March 2020. The primary endpoints were the objective response rate (ORR) and safety. Data were available for 117 patients. The median age was 53 years (range, 28–79). Sixty-four (54.7%) patients had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≥2. Forty-nine (41.9%) patients were stage ≥III at diagnosis. Eighty-eight (75.2%) patients had squamous cell carcinoma. The median number of prior chemotherapy lines was two (range, 1–6). During the median follow-up of 4.9 months (range, 0.2–35.3), the ORR was 9.4%, with three complete responses and eight partial responses. The median time to response was 2.8 months (range 1.3–13.1), and the median duration of response (DOR) was not reached. In the population of patients with favorable performance status (ECOG ≤1) (n = 53), the ORR was 18.9%, and the median DOR was 8.9 months (range, 7.3–10.4). Adverse events occurred in 55 (47.0%) patients, including eight (6.8%) patients who experienced grade ≥3 events, and two of them were suspicious treatment-related deaths. Pembrolizumab had modest antitumor activity in patients with recurrent cervical cancer comparable to that found in previously reported clinical trials. However, in patients with favorable performance status, pembrolizumab showed effective antitumor activity. Some safety profiles should be carefully monitored during treatment.

6092 Background: Although laterally extended endopelvic resection (LEER) has been introduced to control the pelvic sidewall tumors, there is a lack of evidence about its efficacy and safety despite high skillful procedure, compared with the other treatments. Thus, we performed a prospective cohort study with historical comparison for four years. Methods: One gynecologic oncologist performed LEER consecutively for patients with the pelvic sidewall tumors between March 2014 and July 2018. We compared clinicopathologic characteristics and survival between patients who received primary LEER and with those treated with other treatments. Results: We enrolled 37 patients treated with LEER. Among them, 22 (59.5%) and 15 (40.5%) had recurrent and primary disease. Among perioperative outcomes, there was more estimated blood loss, and hospitalization was longer in recurrent disease and previous surgery (p < 0.05). In recurrent disease, previous progression-free survival < 8 months was related to poor recurrence-free survival after LEER (median, 5.4 vs. 10.2 months; p < 0.05). When LEER was applied for the first recurrence of cervical cancer, recurrence-free survival and overall survival after treatment seemed to be longer in LEER (n = 9) than in palliative chemotherapy (n = 27) without statistical significance (median, 12.2 vs. 4.7 months and 23.2 vs. 12.4 months; p = 0.13 and p = 0.63). In 15 patients with primary locally advanced cervical cancer, LEER after partial response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy showed longer progression-free survival than LEER after stable or progressive disease to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and primary radiotherapy (p = 0.012). After LEER, grade 3 and 4 complications developed in 15 (23.1%) and 2 (3.1%) patients. Conclusions: Compared with palliative chemotherapy, LEER followed by palliative chemotherapy may improve progression-free survival in patients with recurrent cervical cancer located in the pelvic sidewall. If possible, it is more effective to apply LEER without preceding palliative chemotherapy for recurrent cervical cancer located in the pelvic sidewall.

e18021 Background: The efficacy and safety of the combination of carboplatin and liposomal doxorubicin was tested in in patients with locally advanced or recurrent cervical cancer. Methods: The combination of carboplatin (area under the concentration curve AUC = 5) and liposomal doxorubicin (starting dose, 40 mg/m2) was administered intravenously every 28 days to 75 patients with locally advanced or recurrent cervical cancer to determine the drug efficacy and safety. Results: During the observation, all patients were received surgery or radiation before combination chemotherapy. 58 patients were assessable for response, and 12 patients were assessable for toxicity. During therapy, none patients required discontinuation of chemotherapy while only 2 patients needed dose reduction, because of side effect. The overall response rate was 77.3%, the median time to response was 8 weeks, the median duration of response was 24 weeks, and the median survival was 37 weeks. The most common adverse events with these patients included myelosuppression (69.0%), neutropenia (31.0%), anemia (23.0%), thrombocytopenia (21.0%) and neutropenic fever (11.0%). Conclusions: The combination of carboplatin and liposomal doxorubicin shows clinical efficacy and acceptable safety in patients with locally advanced or recurrent cervical carcinoma. It might provide a noval treatment for late stage cervical cancer.

<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> As a small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), apatinib has shown a survival benefit in multiple solid tumors. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib in patients with metastatic, recurrent cervical cancer after failure of radiotherapy and first-line chemotherapy. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A total of 42 patients between June 2018 and March 2019 were involved in this study. All patients orally received apatinib once daily in a 4-week cycle until disease progression or adverse events that prohibit further therapy. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and adverse events. <b><i>Results:</i></b> During a median follow-up of 13 months, 8 patients achieved a partial response and 24 cases achieved stable disease. None of them reported a complete response. The ORR and DCR were 19.0 and 76.2%, respectively. The median PFS was 6.0 months (95% CI 4.9–7.1), and the median OS was 12.0 months (95% CI 10.1–13.9). The global health score/HRQoL improved significantly following 3-cycle treatment (50.4 ± 12.5 vs. 60.1 ± 11.8; <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.01). The most frequent grade 3–4 adverse events were hand-foot syndrome, hypertension and fatigue. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Apatinib should be an effective and tolerable treatment option for patients with metastatic, recurrent cervical cancer after failure of radiotherapy and first-line chemotherapy.
