There are not many real-world studies evaluating daily insulin doses requirements (DIDR) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using second-generation basal insulin analogs, and such comparison is necessary. The aim of this study was to compare DIDR in individuals with T1D using glargine 300 UI/mL (IGlar-300) or degludec (IDeg) in real clinical practice. An observational, retrospective study was designed in 412 patients with T1D (males: 52%; median age 37.0±13.4 years, diabetes duration: 18.7±12.3 years) using IDeg and IGla-300 ≥6 months to compare DIDR between groups. Patients using IGla-300 (n=187) were more frequently males (59% vs 45.8%; p=0.004) and had lower glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (7.6±1.2 vs 8.1%±1.5%; p<0.001) than patients using IDeg (n=225). Total (0.77±0.36 unit/kg/day), basal (0.43±0.20 unit/kg/day) and prandial (0.33±0.23 unit/kg/day) DIDR were similar in IGla-300 and IDeg groups. Patients with HbA1c ≤7% (n=113) used significantly lower basal (p=0.045) and total (p=0.024) DIDR, but not prandial insulin (p=0.241), than patients with HbA1c between 7.1% and 8% and >8%. Patients using IGla-300 and IDeg used similar basal, prandial and total DIDR regardless of metabolic control subgroup. No difference in basal, prandial and total DIDR was observed between patients with T1D using IGla-300 or IDeg during at least 6 months in routine clinical practice.

e13024 Background: Hertraz, the first trastuzumab biosimilar was approved in Morocco in 2017. Real world data on trastuzumab biosimilars are very limited or not available. HERLife is a prospective, non-interventional phase IV study program that investigated the experience of using Hertraz, a biosimilar for trastuzumab (Herceptin), under routine clinical practice conditions in Morocco. The primary aim of this study was to confirm the acceptable safety and tolerability of Hertraz. Methods: Ninety-nine patients with HER2-positive breast cancer treated with Hertraz were enrolled from 8 public and private sector hospitals and followed up for 12 months as part of this non-interventional study. Cardiac events (LVEF) and other unexpected or serious adverse events were monitored. The study arms consisted of patients with early breast cancer (Arm 1, n=70) and metastatic breast cancer (Arm 2, n=29) whose median age was 53 years in both groups. Results: Switching from Herceptin to Hertraz was observed in 45% of 29 MBC patients and 27% of 70 EBC patients. Switching was done at a median of 4th cycle. Pertuzumab was used in combination with Hertraz in 69% and 19% of patients in the metastatic and neoadjuvant settings, respectively. Two patients had a decline in LVEF. One patient treated with Hertraz alone and one patient treated with Hertraz and pertuzumab developed a decrease in LVEF requiring a three-week treatment discontinuation of Hertraz. Treatment of Hertraz was continued after 1 skipped cycle without occurrence of new side effects. No other trastuzumab related adverse events was observed. Four patients in the metastatic group and 2 patients in the early breast cancer arm had a relapse in the 12 months of clinical follow-up. Conclusions: The management of HER2+ breast cancer in Morocco follows the international recommendations. This is the first real world safety data of Hertraz from Morocco. The 12-month follow-up treatment with Hertraz showed an acceptable cardiac safety profile. In cases where there was a switch from Herceptin to Hertraz or Hertraz combined with pertuzumab, the safety profile was similar to that previously reported in other studies.

e19260 Background: A recent study (Foster, Tromanhauser et al. 2019) utilizing Electronic Health Record (EHR) data found that patients with MM rarely have both serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) and 24-hour urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP) documented in routine clinical practice settings. These elements are necessary to classify response using the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) consensus criteria. It could be hypothesized that adding the additional requirements for bone marrow biopsy necessary to confirm a complete response would further reduce the rate of strict adherence to the IMWG criteria in the real world (RW). Clinicians are however assessing response and progression in RW settings and often report these assessments in published literature. In this study, we survey the literature to determine how RW response is being captured and reported outside of the clinical trial setting. Methods: A systematic search was performed using Medline 2010-2019. Using a standardized grading system, English language articles were evaluated that utilized EHR data from routine clinical practice to report RW response in patients with active MM. Registry based and/or pragmatic observational studies were excluded as many had mandatory reporting procedures in place. Studies were then categorized based on methods of assessing response, progression and use of IMWG criteria. Results: The majority of studies grade 1 studies identified (21/25) utilized best response achieved based on treating physician-documented assessment and either did not specify the use of IMWG(10/21) criteria or explicitly stated they did not use conventional criteria (11/21). Progression event capture and reporting varied greatly with many using physician-documented progression, change in regimen, addition of additional agents to existing regimen, stem cell transplant, or an individually created algorithm. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that there is a need for further research on objective techniques for the assessment of RW progression and response in patients with MM. Additionally, validation of an approach that utilizes partial adherence to IMWG criteria would help in the ability to compare findings across clinical trial and RW settings. This validation work is under way, and preliminary results will be reported at the meeting.

Abstract Background: Clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of the CD30-targeted antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab vedotin (BV) for the treatment of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma(e.g. ALCL, PTCL-NOS, AITL, CTCL and etc.). While clinical trials are critical for establishing efficacy, collection of real-world data outside of the controlled trial setting is important to evaluate how interventions are applied and assess the effectiveness of new treatments in routine clinical practice. Inclusion criteria are often rather restrictive compared with the patient populations seen by physicians in daily practice. There are limited real-world data related to treatment with BV in China. Our study aims to obtain timely real-world knowledge in terms of safety and effectiveness of BV in CD30+ lymphoma patients in China. Study Design and Methods: The study (NCT04837222) is a real-world, prospective, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of BV in patients with CD30+ lymphoma in China. Consecutive CD30+ lymphoma patients treated with BV as a part of standard clinical practice will be enrolled. Key inclusion criteria includes adult patients undergoing treatment with BV or to be received with BV, patient/legal guardian must be able to read, understand, and sign the Informed Consent Form, CD30+ lymphoma by INV (any CD30 expression). Exclusion criteria includes patient who currently participates in or with plan to participate in any interventional clinical trial, any other reason that, in the investigator's opinion, makes the patient unsuitable to participate in this study. As CD30+ lymphoma is not a common disease and the affordability of novel treatment is limited, 1000 patients with CD30+ lymphoma will be recruited from almost 30 hematology centers. The physician will determine the treatment regimen, as well as the frequency of laboratory and clinical assessment according to her/his routine practice. All patients will be followed up per routine clinical practice and data will be documented at baseline/3/6/9/12/18/24 months unless withdrawal of Informed Consent, death or loss of follow-up, whichever comes first. Loss to follow-up will be minimized through active contact with participating patients thereafter to ensure almost all clinically relevant outcomes will be captured. The primary endpoint is serious adverse events. Secondary endpoints include adverse events, adverse drug reaction, dose adjustment, characteristics of patients receiving BV, use of BV, number of BV cycles administered, disease characteristics, time to next treatment, overall response rate, duration of response, progression free survival rate, overall survival rate, quality of life and cost-effectiveness ratio. Descriptive analysis will be performed for data analysis. Disclosures Zhang: Takeda Pharmaceuticals: Current Employment.

e18770 Background: Maintenance therapy with PARP inhibitors (PARPi) in recurrent high grade ovarian cancer is standard of care for patients who have responded to second or subsequent lines of platinum-based chemotherapy. The increased access to PARP inhibitors (Olaparib, Niraparib and Rucaparib) has provided the opportunity to explore the real-world toxicities in routine clinical practice, toxicity management and the consequent impact on maintenance therapy outcomes. Methods: Patients with relapsed ovarian cancer that received maintenance PARP inhibitor therapy in routine clinical practice between April 2015 and April 2020 were identified. Electronic patient records were reviewed retrospectively to retrieve details of any reported toxicities (occurring at any time during therapy) and their management. Data was entered into and analysed in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Results: 99 patients who received second or subsequent line maintenance PARPi therapy were included (median age 63.6 years). 36% had a germline BRCA1/2 mutation, 6% had a somatic BRCA1/2 mutation and 58% were BRCA wild-type. 69% received 2nd line maintenance therapy; 22% and 9% received a maintenance PARP inhibitor following 3rd or 4+ line therapy respectively. 56% had not received previous maintenance therapy; 43% had received Bevacizumab. 48% patients commenced maintenance therapy at full dose. 13% of patients experienced no toxicities. 60% of patients experienced G1-2 toxicities, with 42% experiencing >2 episodes; most common toxicities were fatigue, nausea/vomiting and thrombocytopenia. 26% of patients experienced >G3 toxicity, with 9% experiencing >2 episodes, 4% of which were recurring toxicities; most common toxicities were hypertension, neutropenia and anaemia. 64% of patients developed toxicity within the first cycle of treatment; 39% had a dose interruption, 56% of which were < 2 weeks duration. 59% patients required a dose reduction from their starting dose due to toxicities. There was no significant difference in median PFS between patients who had been dose reduced compared to those who received full starting dose (p > 0.05). Conclusions: In keeping with phase III clinical trials, our real-world experience is that most PARPi toxicities are low grade and occur early in treatment. Toxicities can be effectively managed with brief dose interruptions and dose reductions, without adverse impact on survival outcomes.
