BackgroundPegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is an active and well-tolerable treatment in ovarian cancer relapse, either alone or in combination with other drugs. No data are available on the possibility to rechallenge PLD treatment in long survivor patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, as evaluated for platinum agent, paclitaxel and gemcitabine. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti-tumor activity and the toxicity profile of re-challenge of PLD in recurrent ovarian cancer patients.MethodsData on 27 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer treated in the last ten years (2007-2017) with palliative PLD rechallenge were included in this multicenter retrospective Italian study.ResultsThe objective response rate to PLD re-treatment were complete response in 19%, partial response in 30% and stable disease in 37%. Only 1 case of G4 hematological toxicity was reported. No patient experienced severe cardiac impairment (G2-4).ConclusionPLD rechallenge represents an active and safe possibility of treatment for long survivor ovarian cancer patients.

Background Patients with limited-stage (ls) or extensive-stage (es) small-cell lung cancer (sclc) are commonly given platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment. Standard chemotherapy for patients with ls sclc includes a platinum agent such as cisplatin combined with the non-platinum agent etoposide. The objective of the present systematic review was to investigate the efficacy of adding radiotherapy to chemotherapy in patients with es sclc and to determine the appropriate timing, dose, and schedule of chemotherapy or radiation for patients with sclc.Methods The medline and embase databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (rcts) comparing treatment with radiotherapy plus chemotherapy against treatment with chemotherapy alone in patients with es sclc. Identified rcts were also included if they compared various timings, doses, and schedules of treatment for patients with es sclc or ls sclc.Results Sixty-four rcts were included. In patients with ls sclc, overall survival was greatest with platinum– etoposide compared with other chemotherapy regimens. In patients with es sclc, overall survival was greatest with chemotherapy containing platinum–irinotecan than with chemotherapy containing platinum–etoposide (hazard ratio: 0.84; 95% confidence interval: 0.74 to 0.95; p = 0.006). The addition of radiation to chemotherapy for patients with es sclc showed mixed results. There was no conclusive evidence that the timing, dose, or schedule of thoracic radiation affected treatment outcomes in sclc.Conclusions In patients with ls sclc, cisplatin–etoposide plus radiotherapy should remain the standard therapy. In patients with es sclc, the evidence is insufficient to recommend the addition of radiotherapy to chemotherapy as standard practice to improve overall survival. However, on a case-by-case basis, radiotherapy might be added to reduce local recurrence. The most commonly used chemotherapy is platinum–etoposide; however, platinum– irinotecan can be considered.

Purpose Standard therapy for advanced ovarian cancer consists of a platinum agent in combination with a taxane, which has a 5-year survival rate of approximately 45%. The large individual variability for ovarian cancer patients in both outcome and toxicity risk from chemotherapy makes the identification of pharmacogenetic markers that can be used to screen patients before therapy selection an attractive prospect. Patients and Methods We assessed 27 selected polymorphisms based on previously described associations or putative functional effects in 16 key genes from pathways that may influence cellular sensitivity to taxanes (ABCB1, ABCC1, ABCC2, ABCG2, CDKN1A, CYP1B1, CYP2C8, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, MAPT, and TP53) and platinum (ABCC2, ABCG2, ERCC1, ERCC2, GSTP1, MPO, and XRCC1) using polymerase chain reaction and Pyrosequencing in 914 ovarian cancer patients from the Scottish Randomised Trial in Ovarian Cancer phase III trial who were treated at presentation with carboplatin and taxane regimens after cytoreductive surgery. Results No reproducible significant associations between genotype and outcome or toxicity were found for any of the genes analyzed. Previously reported genotype associations could not be replicated in this large study of a well-defined patient population within one specific clinical trial. Conclusion There are no clear candidates for taxane/platinum pharmacogenetic markers. This study highlights the need for validation of putative genetic markers in large, well-defined clinical sample sets.

264 Background: Small cell bladder cancer (SCBC) and small cell prostate cancer (SCPC) are rare and aggressive cancers. Standard therapy remains a platinum agent combined with etoposide, with few options after recurrence. Advances in molecular genomics and drug development have altered our approach to cancer. These same novel approaches may alter how we approach SCBC and SCPC. The purpose of this study is to identify potential targets and compare molecular profiles of SCBC and SCPC to SCLC. Methods: In total, 21 SCBC and 19 SCPC were identified from a de-identified database (Caris Life Sciences). Specimens were evaluated for genetic aberrations (Sanger or next generation sequencing [NGS], ISH) and/or protein expression (immunohistochemistry [IHC]). Comparisons were made against a de-identified cohort of SCLC (n = 428). Results: Pathogenic/presumed pathogenic mutations in SCBC were found in TP53 (91.7%, 11/12), RB1 (18.2%, 2/11), PTEN (8.3%, 1/12), EGFR (7.7%, 1/13), and PIK3CA (7.1%, 1/14). SCPC genetic aberrations were detected in TP53 (72.7%, 8/11) and RB1 (25.0%, 2/8). No carcinomas in this cohort had a high mutational burden or MSI-high status (0%, 0/7). Amplified genes found in SCBC included DDR2 (50%, 1/2) and EGFR (25.0%, 1/4). In SCPC, gene amplification was found in AKT2 (20%, 1/5), CCNE1 (20%, 1/5), FGFR1 (20%, 1/5), and MYC (20%, 1/5). The highest protein expression rates in SCBC involved MRP1 (100%, 5/5), TOP2A (94.1%, 16/17), and RRM1 (81.3%, 13/16). The highest protein expression rates in SCPC were MRP1 (100%, 6/6), TUBB3 (100%, 9/9), and TOP2A (94.4%, 17/18). Comparisons between SCBC and SCPC with SCLC revealed more similarities than differences. Significant differences were found in RRM1 by IHC between SCBC and SCLC. Also, significant differences were found between SCPC and SCLC in AR and PTEN by IHC. Conclusions: Comparisons of GU small cell carcinomas reveal similarities to SCLC. Both TP53 and RB1 mutations were found in both SCBC and SCPC. Amplification in genes CCNE1 and FGFR1, frequently identified in SCLC, were also found in SCPC. The high protein expression in biomarkers like MRP1 may explain the poor response to cytotoxic chemotherapy. Prospective studies are urgently needed.

e19184 Background: The role of PD-L1 testing in locally advanced (LA) or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) is not currently well-defined, except in cisplatin-ineligible patients (pts). IMVigor130 trial data are the first to suggest cisplatin-eligible PD-L1 positive pts may also benefit from immunotherapy (IO) (ESMO LBA14_PR, 2019). As clinical data accumulate on the influence of PD-L1 expression on LA/mUC pt outcomes with IO, we assessed medical oncologists’ (ONCs) PD-L1 testing perceptions and practices. Methods: ONCs completed a longitudinal, online self-report survey fielded from August 22 to September 23, 2019, prior to release of IMVigor130 data. Baseline results are reported. Descriptive statistics and bivariate comparisons by practice setting were conducted. Results: ONCs (N = 203) had a mean of 15 years in practice; a majority (64%) practice in the community. ONCs tested most LA/mUC pts, but initiated treatment for about a third before receiving results (Table). Half believe PD-L1 testing in LA/mUC will increase over time; this view was more common for ONCs who do not (n = 55) vs. do (n = 148) order PD-L1 testing as standard for LA/mUC pts (55% vs. 49%). Most ONCs reported that pts in an IO + chemotherapy trial arm should be stratified by PD-L1 status (74%), but not platinum agent (69%). Common barriers to more LA/mUC pts (n = 92) getting a PD-L1 test were limited biopsy sample (54%), lack of influence on treatment decisions (54%), and treatment initiation urgency (30%). ONCs varied little by practice setting. Conclusions: PD-L1 testing has been adopted by ONCs for most of their LA/mUC pts. However, ONCs report limited biopsy sample and lack of influence on treatment decisions as barriers to testing more LA/mUC pts, supporting their initiation of therapy prior to receipt of results and desire for trial data to be stratified by PD-L1 status. Results suggest PD-L1 expression is not yet a key driver in treatment decisions. Given the variability in self-reported responses, results should be interpreted with this limitation in mind.

lntraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy is theoretically a feasible route for treating ovarian cancer. It is possible to expose tumor tissue disseminated peritoneal surface to extremely high concentration of anticancer agents. Three large-scale, randomized trials conducted in the US have demonstrated a significant improvement of progression survival and/or overall survival in IP chemotherapy arm over intravenous arm. Despite these favorable results, IP chemotherapy has not been accepted as standard care. One of the reasons for this is the use of cisplatin, which has been replaced by the less toxic platinum agent, carboplatin, when administered intravenously. In this review article, we discuss why IP chemotherapy using carboplatin has been ignored and its future potential
