BackgroundThe NAPOLI-1 trial demonstrated that liposomal irinotecan in combination with fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV) prolonged survival with a manageable safety profile in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) previously treated with gemcitabine-based therapy. Real-world data on clinical outcomes associated with liposomal irinotecan in NAPOLI-1-based regimens is needed to further substantiate this.MethodsThis real-world, retrospective chart review study included patients with mPDAC who received NAPOLI-1-based regimens from six academic centers in the United States. Liposomal irinotecan initiation defined the index date. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed with Kaplan-Meier methodology.ResultsThere were 374 patients evaluated; median age was 68 years, and 51% were female. Among 326 patients with baseline ECOG information, approximately 74% had ECOG score <2. Liposomal irinotecan was administered as a doublet with 5-FU in a NAPOLI-1-based regimen in the first line (1L; 16%), 2L (42%), and 3L+ (42%) of the metastatic setting. For patients treated in 1L, 2L, and 3L+, median [95% confidence interval (CI)] OS was 8.0 [5.1, 11.2], 7.3 [5.3, 8.8], and 4.6 [4.0, 5.7] months, and median [95% CI] PFS was 4.2 [2.2, 6.6], 3.0 [2.6, 3.7], and 2.0 [1.7, 2.2] months, respectively.ConclusionsPatients in a real-world setting treated with NAPOLI-1-based liposomal irinotecan doublet regimens at academic centers were older with poorer performance status compared to trial patients yet had similar outcomes and efficacy. Furthermore, liposomal irinotecan was frequently used in the 3L+ setting where no treatment has been approved and provided clinical benefit.

e16751 Background: The NAPOLI-1 study, a randomized phase 3 study in pts with mPDAC previously treated with gemcitabine-based therapy, demonstrated an improvement in overall survival (OS) with liposomal irinotecan + 5-fluorouracil/ leucovorin (5-FU/LV) vs. 5-FU/LV. In this analysis we describe the trends in pt characteristics, real-world OS (rwOS), and real-world time to-treatment failure (rwTTF) among pts with mPDAC treated with liposomal Irinotecan based regimens overall and stratified by tx initiation prior to 2018 (pre-2018) or after 2018 (post-2018). Methods: This retrospective observational study used de-identified data from Flatiron Health EHR database from over 280 cancer clinics in the US. Pt characteristics, rwOS, and rwTTF were assessed in adult pts diagnosed with mPDAC who received liposomal irinotecan treatment (tx) between January 1, 2016 and October 31, 2019. Results: Of the 590 pts treated with liposomal irinotecan based regimens, 53% were male, 56% were initially diagnosed with Stage IV disease, 92% were treated in the community setting, and median age at tx initiation was 69 (IQR: 62 – 75) years. Among pts with available ECOG scores (N = 435), 77% had a score of 0 or 1. 43% (n = 254) initiated tx pre-2018 and 57% (n = 336) post-2018. Pre-2018, 106 (42%) pts initiated liposomal irinotecan in the third line metastatic setting or later (3rd line+), 125 (49%) had ECOG score of 0-1, and median age was 68 (62–74) years. Post-2018, 36% of pts initiated tx in 3rd line+, 211 (63%) had ECOG score of 0-1, and median age was 70 (63 – 75) years. Median rwOS was 4.4 months [95% CI: 4.3–6.2] pre-2018 and 5.2 mos [4.3–6.2] post-2018. rwTTF was 1.6 mos [1.4–1.9] pre-2018 and 2.1 mos [1.6–2.5] among pts post-2018. Among pts treated in first- or second-line, pre-2018 rwOS was 5.3 mos [3.9–6.4] and post-2018 rwOS was 6.3 mos [5.0– 7.6]. Conclusions: In this descriptive real-world study of pts with mPDAC receiving liposomal irinotecan based regimens, pts initiating treatment post-2018 appear to be less pre-treated, older, and have better performance status than pts pre-2018. Pts treated post-2018 experienced numerically longer rwTTF and rwOS than pts treated pre-2018.

e16740 Background: The goals of randomized control trials (RCTs) are to make causal inferences and precise treatment comparisons, not to describe large heterogeneous pt populations. RWE allows population-based healthcare decision makers to assess and manage therapeutic and economic options for their pts, including those who would and would not have met inclusion/exclusion criteria of a given RCT and are instead managed under usual care, irrespective of clinical trial protocols. In the pivotal phase 3 trial, NAPOLI-1, 117 pts were treated with liposomal irinotecan + 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid, median age 63 years; 66% were treated first- (1L) or second line (2L), and 91% had performance score ECOG 0 or 1. Pts in the trial had overall survival (OS) of 6.2 months (mos), time to treatment failure (TTF) 2.3 mos, and 27% experienced grades 3-4 neutropenia. The present study describes the patient characteristics and outcomes of pts with mPDAC treated with liposomal irinotecan in the US. Methods: This retrospective observational study used data from Flatiron Health EHR-derived de-identified database from over 280 cancer clinics. Patient characteristics, OS, TTF, and rates of neutropenia during treatment (tx) were assessed in adult pts diagnosed with mPDAC who received liposomal irinotecan based tx between November 1, 2015 and October 31, 2019. Results: 600 pts with mPDAC treated with a liposomal irinotecan based regimen were identified. Of these, 56% were initially diagnosed with stage IV disease, 53% were male, 21% had undergone a previous Whipple procedure, and 61% initiated liposomal irinotecan in the 1L or 2L metastatic setting. Median age at tx initiation was 68 (IQR: 62 – 75) years. 92% of pts were treated in the community setting. Among pts with available ECOG (n = 440), 77.5% were score 0-1. Grade 3/4 neutropenia was observed in 11% (n = 66). Overall, median OS was 5.0 mos [95%CI: 4.2–5.6]. mOS among pts treated in 1L (n = 88), 2L (n = 280), and third line plus (3L+, n = 232) were 6.9 mos [5.3–9.2], 5.4 mos [4.6–6.4], and 4.0 mos [3.4–4.5], respectively. Overall, median TTF was 1.9 mos [1.6–2.1]. TTF by line was 3.5 mos [2.3–4.8] in 1L, 2.1 mos [1.7–2.8] in 2L, and 1.4 mos [1.2–1.6] in 3L. Conclusions: This real-world cohort of pts with mPDAC were older, had worse performance status, and had more prior lines compared to the pivotal trial for liposomal irinotecan. Median OS, TTF, and neutropenia were similar to those previously reported. As expected, pts receiving liposomal irinotecan in earlier lines had higher median OS and TTF.

e16733 Background: Real-world data allows healthcare decision-makers to assess and manage therapeutic and economic options for patients, including those who would and would not have met eligibility criteria for randomized control trials (RCT) and are instead managed under usual care. This retrospective multi-academic center chart review study describes real-world characteristics and outcomes of US patients receiving liposomal irinotecan for the management of metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). Methods: Patients with mPDAC treated with liposomal irinotecan were eligible. Initiation of liposomal irinotecan defined index date; covariates assessed included clinical characteristics and treatment patterns; real-world overall survival (rwOS) was assessed via Kaplan-Meier methodology. The target enrollment is 300 patients. The study centers included were Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Emory Winship Cancer Institute, Houston Methodist Cancer Center, Henry Ford Cancer Institute, and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Results: Data on 26 patients were available for initial analyses. Mean age was 68 years; 58% were female and 65% Caucasian. 54% of patients had stage IV disease at first diagnosis, and 17%, 65%, and 17% had index ECOG score of 0, 1, and 2, respectively. Common genetic mutations include KRAS (40%) and TP53 (40%). Prior to liposomal irinotecan, treatments received for metastatic disease include gemcitabine+nab-paclitaxel (77%) and fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (LV)+irinotecan+oxaliplatin (19%). Patients had received 0 (12%), 1 (23%), and ≥2 (65%) lines of therapy in the metastatic setting prior to liposomal irinotecan. Mean duration of liposomal irinotecan use was 3.0 months; liposomal irinotecan was mostly received with 5-FU (23%) or 5-FU/LV (69%). Median rwOS was 4.9 months (95% CI: 3.0, 6.3). Conclusions: Real-world data of the first 26 patients in this study show patients treated with liposomal irinotecan are older, sicker, and have had more lines of therapy than previously reported in RCT data.

There are questions surrounding the real-world effectiveness of chemotherapeutic treatments for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. This literature review compared the clinical characteristics and outcomes of available real-world evidence (RWE) for liposomal irinotecan in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV), a treatment regimen indicated for patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) who previously progressed on gemcitabine-based therapy. A targeted literature search was conducted in the PubMed Central® and Embase® databases to identify available RWE regarding patients with mPDAC receiving liposomal irinotecan published within the last 5 years (January 2014–September 2019). Data were extracted for prior lines of therapy, performance status, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), duration of exposure, and adverse events. Six studies met inclusion criteria. A comparison of baseline patient characteristics and results with the included evidence reveals a clinically fragile, real-world patient population in terms of age (range: 61–68), prior lines of therapy with 34–61% of patients receiving ⩾2 lines of lines of prior therapy and performance status [49.8–100% of patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0–1]. Studies observed wide OS (range: 5.3–9.4 months) and similar PFS (range: 2.3–4.1 months), with two studies measuring duration of exposure (7.3 weeks, 3.1 months). Patients analyzed by RWE studies tended to be older with significant disease progression, poor performance status, and more heavily pretreated compared with the phase III registrational trial (NAPOLI-1). Despite this, patients treated with liposomal irinotecan + 5-FU/LV therapy had similar outcomes as those in NAPOLI-1.

Aim: This study sought to understand the association between liposomal irinotecan dose reductions (DRs) and clinical outcomes among patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Materials & methods: A retrospective study of adult patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma treated with liposomal irinotecan in the Flatiron Health database was conducted to assess treatment and clinical outcomes. Results: DRs occurred in 28.4% of the 320 patients in the study. Patients with DRs had longer overall survival (7.7 [95% CI: 6.2–10.2]) vs 3.6 [3.2–4.1] months) and time to discontinuation (4.2 [3.0–4.9] vs 1.4 [1.0–1.5] months) than patients without DRs. Results were consistent in a validation analysis requiring three cycles of treatment. Conclusion: Liposomal irinotecan DRs were associated with improved clinical outcomes compared with patients without DRs.

Background: Liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) plus 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (5-FU/LV) was effective and well-tolerated in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (mPAC) that progressed on gemcitabine-based therapy in the global NAPOLI-1 trial. Real-world data may further clarify the outcomes and safety profile of nal-IRI + 5-FU/LV in clinical practice. Methods: This retrospective analysis included patients with mPAC who received nal-IRI + 5-FU/LV following gemcitabine-based therapy under a Managed Access Program in Korea. Results: From January 2017 to April 2018, 86 patients across 10 institutions received nal-IRI + 5-FU/LV (median age, 61 years; 60% male; ECOG performance status, 0–1). A total of 35 (41%) and 51 (59%) patients had received less than two and two or more lines of chemotherapy before inclusion, respectively. At a median follow up of 6.4 months, median overall survival (OS) was 9.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 7.4–11.4) and median progression-free survival (PFS) was 3.5 months (95% CI 1.3–5.7). Six-month OS and PFS rates were 65.1% and 37.5%, respectively. Objective response and disease control rates were 10% and 55%, respectively. Most common grade 3–4 toxicities were neutropenia (37.2%), nausea (10.5%), vomiting (9.3%), anorexia (8.1%) and diarrhoea (4.7%). Conclusion: Real-life data for Korean patients indicate that, consistent with NAPOLI-1, nal-IRI + 5-FU/LV is effective and well-tolerated in patients with mPAC that progressed on gemcitabine-based therapy.

e12527 Background: RIB + aromatase inhibitor (AI) is approved as 1L treatment (tx) for HR+, HER2− MBC. Real-world data on efficacy and safety of RIB+AI are limited. REACHAUT, a prospective, noninterventional trial assessed the safety of RIB+AI in 1L setting in postmenopausal patients (pts) with HR+, HER2− MBC in a real-world setting. First interim analysis results about safety are presented. Methods: 75 postmenopausal pts with HR+, HER2− MBC, QTc < 450 msec, and no prior ET for advanced disease were enrolled at 13 sites. 1L chemotherapy (CT) was allowed. Results: At data cutoff (25-Jan-2019), 61 pts were evaluable for safety (ongoing, n = 44; discontinued, n = 17). Median duration of follow-up was 29 d. Median age at baseline was 65 y ( < 65 y, n = 28; ≥65 y, n = 33); ECOG performance status was 0 (n = 39) and 1 (n = 12). 42.6% had visceral (lung, liver) metastases (mets), while 34.4% had bone only mets. Most common prior tx included CT (29.5% in neoadjuvant/adjuvant/metastatic setting) and ET (41%). Pts received RIB in 1L (93.4%) and second-line (6.6%) setting. In 80.3% pts receiving RIB, the ET partner included letrozole (57.4%), exemestane (11.5%), anastrozole (9.8%). Median duration of RIB exposure was 100 d. Median time to first AE was 14 d. 83.6% pts experienced AEs with mild (63.9%) to moderate (50.8%) severity. Serious AEs were noted in 6.6% pts. Most common AEs were neutropenia (42.6%) and QTc prolongation (24.6%). 4.9% pts had hepatobiliary AEs. Due to AEs, dose adjustments (4.9%) and dose interruptions (19.8%) were needed. No deaths were reported; median PFS was not reached. Subgroup analysis by age ( < 65 y vs ≥65 y) showed that the incidence of AEs was 55.9% vs 44.1%. Neutropenia was reported in 46.4% pts aged < 65 y vs 39.3% pts aged ≥65 y; QT prolongation events were noted in 21.4% pts aged < 65 y vs 27.2% pts aged ≥65 y. Dose adjustments and dose interruptions were needed in 14.3% and 46.4% pts aged < 65 y vs 15.2% and 45.5% pts aged ≥65 y. Conclusions: Overall safety of RIB+AI in routine clinical practice in REACHAUT was consistent with that reported in the MONALEESA-2 study. In real-world setting, pt age ( < 65 y vs ≥65 y) had minimal impact on AEs. Clinical trial information: NIS006622.
