Aim: To investigate real-world overall survival (rwOS) and real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) in locally advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma postplatinum and postprogrammed death receptor-1/death ligand 1 inhibitors. Patients & methods: Adult patients diagnosed with locally advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2018 and treated with taxane monotherapy or any therapy postplatinum and post-PD-1/L1 inhibitors were included from a nationwide electronic health record-derived oncology database. Results: Median rwOS among 72 patients treated with taxane monotherapy was 7.6 months (95% CI: 5.2–14.4) and rwPFS was 2.9 months (95% CI: 2.4–4.0). Among 208 patients treated with any therapy, median rwOS was 8.9 months (95% CI: 7.3–10.6) and rwPFS was 3.6 months (95% CI: 2.7–4.7). Conclusion: Short duration of rwOS and rwPFS were observed, highlighting the need for effective and safe treatments in this patient population.

PURPOSE A prospective randomized trial was performed to determine if the addition of methotrexate, vinblastine, and doxorubicin to cisplatin (M-VAC) imparted a response rate or a survival advantage over single-agent cisplatin in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS From October 1984 through May 1989, 269 patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma were entered onto this international intergroup trial and randomized to receive intravenous (IV) cisplatin (70 mg/m2) alone or with methotrexate (30 mg/m2 on days 1, 15, 22), vinblastine (3 mg/m2 on days 2, 15, 22) plus doxorubicin (30 mg/m2 on day 2). Cycles were repeated every 28 days until tumor progression or a maximum of six cycles. There were 246 fully assessable patients of whom 126 were randomized to cisplatin alone and 120 were randomized to the M-VAC regimen. RESULTS As expected, the M-VAC regimen was associated with a greater toxicity, especially leukopenia, mucositis, granulocytopenic fever, and drug-related mortality. Response rates were superior for the M-VAC regimen compared with single-agent cisplatin (39% v 12%; P less than .0001). Similarly, the progression-free survival (10.0 v 4.3 months) and overall survival (12.5 v 8.2 months) were significantly greater for the combined therapy arm. CONCLUSION Although a more toxic regimen, we found M-VAC to be superior to single-agent cisplatin with respect to response rate, duration of remission, and overall survival in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma.

e17019 Background: Based on our previous study, the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a prognostic factor in patients with metastatic urothelial cancer (MUC) treated with platinum-based first-line chemotherapy. The objective of this retrospective analysis was to explore prognostic value of the SII at baseline of second-line chemotherapy with vinflunine in MUC population. Methods: We evaluated 70 consecutive MUC (53 bladder, 21 upper tract) patients (54 men) treated with second-line chemotherapy with vinflunine at four oncological departments since 2010. ECOG performance status (PS) ≤ 1 had 44 patients (pts.), haemoglobin < 10 g/dL was present in 25 pts. and liver involvement in 18 pts. SII was based on platelets (P), neutrophils (N) and lymphocytes (L) counts defined as PxN/L. This study population was dichotomized by median into low SII and high SII groups. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and their 95% CI were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared with logrank test. Results: At median follow-up of 9.0 months (1-29 months), 68 pts. experienced disease progression and 62 died. Pts. with low SII at baseline had significantly better PFS and OS opposite to those with high SII (HR = 0.61, 95% CI 0.37-1.00, p = 0.0318 for PFS, HR = 0.60, 95% CI 0.36-1.00, p = 0.0312 for OS, respectively). In addition to the prognostic factors by Bellmunt (ECOG PS ≥ 1, liver involvement, haemoglobin < 10 g/dL), we identified peritoneal metastases as a factor associated with significantly worse survival (HR = 0.28, 95% CI 0.11-0.72, p < 0.00001 for PFS, HR = 0.30, 95% CI 0.12-0.75, p < 0.00001 for OS, respectively). Conclusions: The SII at baseline of treatment with second-line vinflunine represents a prognostic factor for pts. with MUC. Based on SII, pts. could be stratified into clinical trials in future. MUC pts. with high SII might be candidates for a different treatment approach. Key Words: Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma. Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index. Vinflunine. Progression-Free Survival.

393 Background: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (la/mUC) have poor survival following progression after platinum-containing chemotherapy and PD-1/L1 inhibitor regimens. Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is an antibody-drug conjugate directed to Nectin-4, a cell adhesion molecule highly expressed in urothelial carcinoma, with remarkable efficacy observed in a single-arm trial in this setting. This randomized phase III study (EV-301) was performed to confirm these findings. Methods: EV-301 (NCT03474107) is a global, open-label phase III study of EV vs chemotherapy conducted in patients with la/mUC who had received a prior platinum-containing chemotherapy and had disease progression during or after PD-1/L1 inhibitor treatment. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive EV (1.25 mg/kg) on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle or investigator choice of standard docetaxel, paclitaxel, or vinflunine chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS); secondary endpoints included investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR) per RECIST v1.1, as well as safety/tolerability. A prespecified interim analysis, which tested OS at an adjusted 1-sided significance level of P = 0.00679, was performed when ≥285 deaths had occurred. The results of this interim analysis are presented here. Results: Overall, 608 patients with la/mUC were randomly assigned to EV (n=301) or chemotherapy (n=307). As of July 15, 2020, 301 deaths had occurred (EV, n=134; chemotherapy, n=167). After an 11.1 mo follow-up, median OS was significantly prolonged by 3.9 mo with EV compared with chemotherapy (median OS: 12.9 vs 9.0 mo, respectively; HR=0.70 [95% CI: 0.56-0.89], 1-sided P =0.001). Additionally, the OS benefit of EV was retained in the majority of prespecified subgroups. Progression-free survival also was improved with EV (5.6 mo) vs chemotherapy (3.7 mo) (HR=0.61 [95% CI: 0.50-0.75]; 1-sided P <0.00001). Both ORR and DCR were significantly higher with EV vs chemotherapy (40.6% vs 17.9% and 71.9% vs 53.4%, respectively; 1-sided P <0.001 each). Rates of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs; 93.9% vs 91.8%), including serious TRAEs (22.6% vs 23.4%), were comparable between the EV and chemotherapy groups. Rates of grade ≥3 TRAEs were ~50% in both groups; decreased neutrophil count (13.4%) and white blood cell count (6.9%) were more common in the chemotherapy group, and maculo-papular rash (7.4%) was more common in the EV group. Conclusions: EV is the first therapy to show significant survival advantage over standard chemotherapy in patients with treatment-experienced la/mUC. With robust clinical benefit and a tolerable safety profile, EV is a new standard of care for this aggressive disease. Clinical trial information: NCT03474107.

458 Background: There are currently limited options for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (la/mUC) following progression on platinum chemotherapy and anti-programmed death 1/death-ligand 1 (PD-1/L1) therapy. Further, limited data are available from clinical trials or real-world studies on outcomes in this population. This retrospective analysis investigated clinical outcomes in patients treated with taxane monotherapy, a commonly used and NCCN guideline-recommended option in this setting. Methods: Patients aged ≥18 years with histologically-confirmed diagnosis of la/mUC on or after 2011, ≥2 clinical visits, and sufficient relevant unstructured data were included from the de-identified nationwide Flatiron Health electronic health record-derived database. The study cohort included patients treated with taxane monotherapy (docetaxel, paclitaxel, or nab-paclitaxel) following anti-PD-1/L1 therapy and who have received prior platinum containing chemotherapy. Baseline characteristics, overall survival (OS), real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) based on clinician documentation of disease status, and real-world response (rwR) based on clinician-confirmed radiologic assessments were reported. Patients were followed until death, data cutoff, or loss to follow up. Results: Among 276 patients treated following anti-PD-1/L1 therapy and who met all of the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 72 were treated with taxanes and also had documented prior platinum chemotherapy. Patients were mostly male (75%) and Caucasian (74%), with a mean age of 73 years. 65% had > 2 sites of metastasis at index (start date of taxane). Post index, median OS = 7.6 months (95% CI 5.2, 14.4) and median rwPFS = 2.9 months (95% CI, 2.4, 4.0). Among the 50 patients with ≥1 rwR assessment, confirmed rwR = 18% (95% CI: 9%, 32%). Conclusions: In the real-world setting, limited responses to taxanes and short duration of PFS and OS were observed in patients with la/mUC previously treated with a platinum and anti-PD-1/L1 therapy. There is a need for more effective therapies to improve clinical outcomes for this patient population.

287 Background: A clinical impact of salvage surgery after chemotherapy in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma on cancer survival is controversial. We verified a clinical role of salvage surgery with analyzing long-term outcome after salvage surgery in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma treated with cisplatin/gemcitabine/paclitaxel-based chemotherapy at a single institution. Methods: From 2003 to 2010, 31 of 47 patients (66%) with metastatic urothelial carcinoma showed objective responses (CR in 4, PR in 27) after multiple courses of the chemotherapy. Twelve of 27 patients with PR underwent salvage surgeries after the chemotherapy (10 male and 2 female, median 61.0 years old). All of the patients underwent metastatectomy of residual lesions (10 of retroperitoneal lymphnodes, 2 of lung). Seven of the patients underwent radical surgeries for primary lesions as well. Progression-free survival and overall survival of the patients were analyzed retrospectively in comparison with those of patients without salvage surgery. Results: All 12 patients could achieve surgical CR. Pathologic findings showed pathological CR in 2 patients. In median follow-up 32.5 months (range: 4.5-65.4), progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with salvage surgery were better than those in 16 PR patients without the surgery (72.9% vs 0%, and 91.7% vs 10.6% at 2 years, p=0.0005 and 0.0003; log-rank test). Conclusions: Although there were several biases in patients backgrounds (e.g., metastatic lesion, number, age), salvage surgery in patients with residual tumor after GCP chemotherapy could have strong impact on cancer survival. Surgical CR should be achieved in an affordable patient who is responder of GCP therapy. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Background/Aim. About 1.8 million new lung cancer cases are diagnosed in the world every year, and about 1.6 million cases are with fatal outcome. Despite improvements in treatment in previous decades, the survival of patients with lung cancer is still poor. The five-year survival rate is about 50% for patients with localized disease, 20% for patients with regionally advanced disease, 2% for patients with metastatic disease, and about 14% for all stages. The median survival of patients with untreated NSCLC in the advanced stage is four to five months and the annual survival rate is only 10%. The main goal of the research is to obtain and analyze the results of treatment with concomitant chemotherapy in terms of its efficacy and toxicity in selected patients with locally advanced inoperable non-small cell lung cancer. Methods. The study included data analysis of 31 patients of both sexes who were diagnosed and pathohistologically verified with NSCLC in inoperable stage III and were referred by the Council for Malignant Lung Diseases to the Radiotherapy Department of the Military Medical Academy for concomitant chemoradiotherapy treatment. Upon expiry of the three-month period from the performed radiation treatment, the tumor resonance was assessed on the basis of MSCT examination of the chest and upper abdomen according to RECIST 1.1 criteria (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors). According to the same criteria, progression-free survival (PFS) was also assessed every three months during the first two years, then every 6 months or until the onset of disease symptoms, as well as overall survival (OS). Result. The median progression-free survival is 13 months, and the median overall survival is 20 months. During and immediately after RT, 9 (29%) patients had a grade 2 or higher adverse event. Conclusion. The use of concomitant chemoradiotherapy in patients in the third stage of locally advanced inoperable non-small cell lung cancer provides a good opportunity for a favorable therapeutic outcome, with an acceptable degree of acute and late toxicity, and represents the standard therapeutic approach for selected patients in this stage of the disease.
