4136 Background: To investigate the safety and efficacy of capecitabine and oxaliplatin combination therapy (CapOx) in unresectable or metastatic adenocarcinomas of the biliary system. Methods: 65 patients (pts) (27 male, and 38 female) were enrolled (median age, 61 yrs). Major eligibility criteria: histologically proven, measurable disease, age ≤ 75 yrs, ECOG PS 0–2. A total number of 364 cycles (median, 5; range, 1–16) of oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2, d1) plus capecitabine (2 g/m2, d 1–14) were administered 3 weekly for gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) (27 pts), extrahepatic (20 pts), and intrahepatic (18 pts) cholangiocarcinoma (CCC). Response rates were assessed according to WHO criteria. Clinical outcome was determined separately for pts with either GBC/extrahepatic CCC or intrahepatic CCC (mass-forming type). Results: Grade 4 toxicities (WHO): diarrhea in 1 pt (1% of cycles), thrombocytopenia in 1 pt (1%), leukocytopenia in 1 pt (1%), and fever in 2 pts (1%); grade 3 toxicities: nausea/vomiting in 1 pt (1%), diarrhea in 2 pts (1%), thrombocytopenia in 3 pts (2%), and fever in 1 pt (1%). Grade 3/4 peripheral sensory neuropathy (Lévis scale) was found in 13 pts (14% of cycles). Two pts were excluded from study because of oxaliplatin-related allergic reactions. One patient died due to sepsis and another due to cerebral insult during the first treatment cycle. The overall disease control rate in 47 pts with GBC or extrahepatic CCC was 72% (complete response (CR), n = 2 (4%); partial response (PR), n = 11 (23%); stable disease (NC), n = 21 (45%)), whereas progressive disease (PD) was found in 13 pts (28%). In 18 pts with intrahepatic mass-forming CCC, no CR or PR was observed, 5 pts (28%) had SD, and 13 pts (72%) experienced PD. Conclusions: The CapOx protocol is well tolerated and remarkably active for advanced GBC as well as extrahepatic CCC with a disease-control rate of 72%. However, activity appears to be limited in the subset of pts with intrahepatic mass-forming type tumors. Survival data will be presented at the meeting.

4097 Background: Resection of pulmonary metastasis (PM) is widely accepted to improve the prognosis in selected patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the clinical implication of adjuvant chemotherapy after metastasectomy of PM is unknown. We conducted a multi-center phase 2 trial of adjuvant chemotherapy with mFOLFOX6 after metastasectomy of PM-CRC. Methods: Main eligibility criteria were first curative metastasectomy of 4 or less PMs and no prior chemotherapy except for adjuvant chemotherapy with fluoropyrimidine monotherapy after curative resection of primary or extrathoracic CRC metastasis. The study treatment was 12 courses of mFOLFOX6 (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, l-leucovorin 200 mg/m2, 5-fluorouracil 400 mg/m2 bolus followed by 2400 mg/m2 continuous infusion, every 2 w). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoints included disease-free survival (DFS), adverse events (AEs), and recurrence sites. The sample size was determined to be 93 expecting 5-year OS rate of 50% with threshold 35% (90% power, alpha error 5%). Results: Fifty-two pts from 34 institutions were enrolled between July 2011 and July 2014. Patient enrollment was closed prematurely because of slow accrual. Four patients were ineligible after enrollment and the safety and efficacy cohort comprised 52 and 48 patients, respectively. Patient backgrounds were as follows: gender (male/female) 31/21, median age (range) 63 (42-75) years, ECOG PS (0/1) 48/4, primary site (colon/rectum) 18/34, number of PM (1/2/3/4) 36/9/5/2, synchronous/metachronous PM 11/41, and unilateral/bilateral PM 40/12. With the median follow-up time of 6.0 (1.8-7.7) years, 5-year OS rate was 86% (95% CI: 72-93) and 5-year DFS rate was 59% (95% CI: 43-71). Tumors recurred in 19 patients (13 lung, 3 liver and 7 others). Total 41 pts (79%) completed 12 courses of mFOLFOX6 (reasons for discontinuation: AEs in 3, refusal due to AEs in 8). AEs ( > Grade 3) were neutropenia 50%, fatigue 8%, peripheral sensory neuropathy 8%, appetite loss 4%, diarrhea 4%, febrile neutropenia 2% and allergic reaction 2%. There was no treatment related death. Conclusions: Adjuvant mFOLFOX6 is feasible and may be effective after metastasectomy for PM-CRC, considering much better OS than we had expected.

4102 Purpose: To compare oxaliplatin (L-OHP) plus raltitrexed (RTX) with L-OHP plus fluorouracil and leucovorin (LV/5FU) for patients (pts) with recurrent and metastatic colorectal cancer(CRC). Methods: Eligible pts had to have histologically proven recurrent or metastatic CRC,not having previously received oxaliplatin as palliative chemotherapy,ECOG PS = 2,age:18∼70,and adequate hematological,renal and hepatic function.After written informed consent,pts were randomized to L-OHP:130 mg/m2 d1 + RTX: 3 mg/m2 d1 (Arm A) or + LV: 200 mg/m2 + 5FU:375 mg/m2 d1–5 (Arm B). Results: Between Jan 2005 and July 2006, 216 pts were enrolled at 15 centers in China.112 pts (mean age: 55.0 (19∼70), M/F: 57/46, PS 0/1/2: 46/53/13) were randomly assigned to A and 102 (mean age: 54.2(22∼70), M/F: 54/46, PS 0/1/2: 44/59/9) to B. 203 pts were eligible for response evaluation (A:103, B:100).The median number of cycles was 4 (1∼6) in A and 3 (1∼6) in B (P=0.1431).The RR was 29.1% (CR:2, PR:28, SD:50 , PD:23) in A and 17.0% (CR:2, PR:15, SD:46 , PD:37) in B (P=0.0437).The disease-control rate was 77.7% in A and 63.0% in B (P=0.0237). After a median follow-up of 10 months (4–16.5),92 pts had had progression of disease (40 in A and 52 in B); 73 deaths had occurred (35 in A and 38 in B), median time to progression was not reached. Following-up is ongoing.The median QoL scores for the two arms were comparable. 214 were included in the safety analyses (A:112, B:102). There was a higher incidence of neutropenia (48.2% verse 29.4%, P=0.005) and transaminase increase (49.1% verse 35.3%, P=0.041) among A. Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was much common in pts in A than those in B (20.5% verse 4.9% , P=0.001), but was complicated by fever in only 3.6% of cases (4 pts) in A and in 2.9% of cases (3 pts) in B. No pts were dead or infectious due to neutropenia. There were similar rates of grade 3 or 4 transaminase elevation in the two groups. Vomitting and anorexia were much commoner with B. Conclusions: The L-OHP+RTX seems beneficial in recurrent and metastatic CRC, demonstrating better response rate and higher disease control rate with acceptable tolerability, maintenance of QoL and convenient administration schedule.

LBA4003 Background: CRT is one of the best treatment options for localized EC. As new combinations are required to improve safety and survival, we launched a randomized phase II study to assess the complete response (CR) rate of CRT with FOLFOX versus 5FU/cisplatin in 97 pts with localized EC (Conroy 2010). The trial having met its objectives, it has been pursued as a phase III trial. Stratified randomization was performed centrally in a 1:1 ratio according to histological type, pretreatment weight loss in the prior 6 months (<10% vs ≥10%), ECOG PS (0 vs 1 vs 2), and center. Methods: Pts with technically unresectable cancer or those with surgical contraindications or who refused to undergo surgery were eligible. Eligibility criteria also included age >18 years (y), PS ≤ 2, previously untreated adenocarcinoma or squamous cell EC (any T, N0 or N1, M0 or M1a). The radiation dose was 50 Gy (2Gy/fr) 5 d/wk for 5 wks in both arms. In Arm A, pts received 6 bimonthly cycles (cy): oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 d1 and leucovorin 200 mg/m2 followed by 5-FU 400 mg/m2 bolus d1 then 1,600 mg/m2 46h continuous infusion (ci) ; the first 3 cy were delivered during RT, the 3 other after. In Arm B, pts received 4 cy: cisplatin 75 mg/m2 d1 followed by 5FU 1,000 mg/m2/d ci d1-4, the first 2 cy during RT and 2 other after. The primary endpoint was PFS. Main secondary endpoints were OS, grade 3-4 toxicities, and quality of life. A total of 266 pts would provide 90% power to detect a 20% 3y-PFS difference (α=0.05). Results: 267 pts were enrolled between 10/2004 and 08/2011. Treatment cohorts were well balanced: male 81%; median age 61 y; PS 0 53%, squamous cell 85.8%, stage III 52%, IVA 6.0% and IVB 3.0%. Full treatment was delivered to 67.9% and 72.2% of pts in arms A/B, respectively. 7 toxic deaths occurred in each arm. Grade 3/4 toxicities per pt (%) in arms A/B were neutropenia 30.6/31.3, febrile neutropenia 5.3/7.0, anemia 5.4/11.0, asthenia 17.6/10.2, respectively. The median FU time was 25.3 mos. 3y-PFS was 18.2/17.4 % (HR=1.07; 95%CI =0.80-1.43) and median OS was 20.2 /17.5 m (HR=1.06; 95%CI =0.77-1.46). Conclusions: CRT with FOLFOX does not improve PFS compared to cisplatin and 5-FU and has similar toxicities.

This retrospective study investigated the clinical efficacy and safety of bortezomib retreatment in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM). A total of 30 patients who relapsed or progressed after≥6 months since the last dose of their previous bortezomib therapy were included in this study. During the median 6 cycles (range: 2–12) of bortezomib retreatment, 10 (33.3%), 2 (6.7%), and 6 (20.0%) patients achieved complete response, very good partial response, and partial response, respectively. Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia (47.0%), thrombocytopenia (43.0%), anemia (10.0%), and peripheral sensory neuropathy (3.0%) were observed. The median time to progression, progression-free survival, and overall survival were 5.8 months (95% CI: 2.6–9.0), 5.5 months (95% CI: 4.2–6.8), and 13.4 months (95% CI: 6.1–20.7), respectively. Patients who received bortezomib retreatment≥12 months from initial last therapy had a 1-year OS rate of 65.8% (95% CI: 43.5–88.1) while patients receiving retreatment after 6–12 months interval had a 1-year OS rate of 41.7% (95% CI: 13.9–69.5) (P=0.038). In conclusion, this study demonstrates that retreatment with bortezomib is an effective strategy for patients with MM who relapsed at a long interval after initial bortezomib therapy.

520 Background: BRAF V600 mutations are associated with rare objective responses to the mutated BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib in patients with mCRC. Blockade of BRAFV600 by vemurafenib causes feedback upregulation of EGFR, whose signaling activities can be impeded by cetuximab. In murine models of BRAFV600 mCRC, the combination of irinotecan, cetuximab, and vemurafenib leads to greater anti-tumor activity, as suggested by a prior Phase 1B study. Methods: Patients (pts) with BRAFV600 mutated and extended RAS wild-type mCRC were randomized to irinotecan (180 mg/m2 IV every 14 days) and cetuximab (500 mg/m2 IV every 14 days) with or without vemurafenib (960 mg PO twice daily). Patients had received 1 or 2 prior regimens, with no prior anti-EGFR agents, although prior irinotecan was allowed. Crossover from the control arm to the experimental arm was allowed after documented progression. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS, investigator assessed), with 90% power to detect a HR of 0.5, with two-sided type 1 error of 5%. Results: 106 patients were enrolled (54 in the experimental arm) from 12/2014 to 4/2016, with ECOG PS ≤ 1. Median age of 62 years, 59% female, and prior irinotecan therapy in 39%. PFS was improved with the addition of vemurafenib (HR = 0.42, 95% confidence interval [CI] of 0.26 to 0.66, P < 0.001) with median PFS of 4.4 (95% CI: 3.6 – 5.7) months vs 2.0 (95% CI: 1.8 – 2.1). Response rate was 16% vs 4% (P = 0.09), with disease control rate of 67% vs 22% (P < 0.001). Grade 3/4 adverse events higher in the experimental arm included neutropenia (28% vs 7%), anemia (13% vs 0%), and nausea (15% vs 0%). There was no increase in skin toxicity or fatigue. No new safety signal was observed. Approximately 50% of patients in the control aim crossed over at the time of progression. Overall survival and efficacy at cross-over data remain immature. Conclusions: The addition of vemurafenib to the combination of cetuximab and irinotecan resulted in a prolongation of progression-free survival and a higher disease control rate, indicating that simultaneous EGFR and BRAF inhibition is effective in BRAFV600 mutated CRC. Clinical trial information: NCT02164916.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line chemotherapy with re-introduction of oxaliplatin (OX) more than 6 months after adjuvant chemotherapy including OX. Methods Stage II/III colon cancer patients with neuropathies of grade ≤ 1 who relapsed more than 6 months after adjuvant chemotherapy including OX were considered eligible. Eligible patients were treated with 5-fluorouracil, l-leucovorin and OX plus molecularly targeted agents or capecitabine and OX plus bevacizumab (BV) or S-1 and OX plus BV. The primary endpoint was the progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints were the overall survival (OS), response rate (RR) and toxicity. Results A total of 50 patients were enrolled between September 2013 and May 2019. Twelve patients received 5-fluorouracil, l-leucovorin and OX (FOLFOX) plus BV, 21 patients received capecitabine and OX plus BV, 10 patients received S-1 and OX plus BV and 7 patients received FOLFOX plus cetuximab or panitumumab. The median PFS was 11.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 8.3–16.0), the median OS was 45.4 months (95% CI 37.4–NA), and the RR was 56.0% (95% CI 42.3–68.8). Adverse events of grade ≥ 3 that occurred in ≥ 5% of cases were neutropenia in 6 patients (12%), peripheral sensory neuropathy in 5 patients (10%), diarrhea in 4 patients (8%), hypertension in 4 patients (8%), anorexia in 3 patients (6%) and allergic reactions in 3 patients (6%). Conclusions First-line chemotherapy with re-introduction of OX more than 6 months after adjuvant chemotherapy including OX can be used safely with expected efficacy for relapsed colon cancer patients.

11565 Background: TAPUR is a phase II basket study evaluating anti-tumor activity of commercially available targeted agents in pts with advanced cancers with genomic alterations. Results in a cohort of STS pts with CDK4 amplification treated with P are reported. Methods: Eligible pts had advanced STS, no standard treatment options, measurable disease, ECOG PS 0-2, and adequate organ function. Genomic testing was performed in CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited site selected labs. Pts received P at 125 mg orally once daily for 21 days, followed by 7 days off until disease progression. Pts matched to P had CDK4 amplification and no RB mutations. Simon 2-stage design tested the null disease control (DC) - defined as partial (PR), complete response (CR) or stable disease at 16+ weeks (SD 16+) - rate of 15% vs. 35% (power = 0.85; α = 0.10). If ≥2 of 10 pts in stage 1 have DC, 18 more pts are enrolled. If ≥7 of 28 pts have DC, the null DC rate is rejected. Secondary endpoints are progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety. Results: 29 pts (66% male) with STS with CDK4 amplification were enrolled from July 2016 to Nov 2019. 1 pt was not evaluable and excluded from efficacy analyses. Demographics and outcomes are summarized in Table. One pt with partial response (PR) and 12 pts with SD16+ were observed for DC and objective response (OR) rates of 48% (95% CI: 31%, 62%) and 3.7% (95% CI: 0.1%, 19%), respectively, and the null DC rate of 15% was rejected (p<0.001). 9/13 pts with DC continued on treatment for >32 weeks. 14 pts had at least one grade 3-4 AE at least possibly related to P with the most common being low WBC/platelets. Other grade 3 AEs included increased alanine aminotransferase, anemia, and fatigue. Conclusions: Monotherapy P demonstrated anti-tumor activity in heavily pre-treated pts with STS with CDK4 amplification. Additional study is warranted to confirm the efficacy of P in pts with STS with CDK4 amplification. Clinical trial information: NCT02693535. [Table: see text]

PurposeThe treatment outcome of brentuximab vedotin (BV) has not been related with CD30 expression in previous studies enrolling patients with a wide range of CD30 expression level. Thus, this study explored the efficacy of BV in high-CD30–expressing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients most likely to benefit.Materials and MethodsThis phase II study (Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02280785) enrolled relapsed or refractory high-CD30–expressing NHL, with BV administered intravenously at 1.8 mg/kg every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was > 40% disease control rate, consisting of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease. We defined high CD30 expression as ≥ 30% tumor cells positive for CD30 by immunohistochemistry.ResultsHigh-CD30-expressing NHL patients (n=33) were enrolled except anaplastic large cell lymphoma. The disease control rate was 48.5% (16/33) including six CR and six PR; six patients (4CR, 2PR) maintained their response over 16 completed cycles. Response to BV and survival were not associated with CD30 expression levels. Over a median of 29.2 months of follow-up, the median progression-free and overall survival rates were 1.9 months and 6.1 months, respectively. The most common adverse events were fever (39%), neutropenia (30%), fatigue (24%), and peripheral sensory neuropathy (27%). In a <i>post-hoc</i> analysis for the association of multiple myeloma oncogene 1 (MUM1) on treatment outcome, MUM1- negative patients showed a higher response (55.6%, 5/9) than MUM1-positive patients (13.3%, 2/15).ConclusionBV performance as a single agent was acceptable in terms of disease control rates and toxicity profiles, especially MUM1-negative patients.

PURPOSE To evaluate the objective tumor response rate and safety profile of oxaliplatin when administered to patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 39 patients were entered onto this phase II trial. One patient was excluded for having had a second cancer, so the study was based on 38 patients. Patients were treated with oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 as a 2-hour infusion on day 1, every 21 days. Patients were assessed for response every three courses. All clinical and radiologic data were reviewed by an external panel of experts, with their assessment being considered definitive. RESULTS Nine partial responses (PRs) were observed (response rate, 24.3%; 95% confidence interval, 11.8% to 41.2%). The median duration of response was 216+ days. Fifteen patients (40.5%) had stable disease and 13 (35.2%) had progressive disease. The median progression-free survival time for all patients was 126+ days (range, 21 to 447+). The main toxicity was peripheral sensory neuropathy. Grade 3 neurotoxicity (National Cancer Institute common toxicity criteria [NCI-CTC]) was reported in 13%. Hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicities were mild. The incidence of grade 3 neutropenia was 5.2%, while that of grade 3 or 4 thrombopenia was 7.9%. Vomiting (grade 3 or 4) occurred in 7.9% of patients and grade 3 diarrhea in 2.6%. CONCLUSION This phase II study provides clear evidence of the safety and efficacy of oxaliplatin monotherapy at this dose and schedule in patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal carcinoma.

PurposeTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of ixabepilone in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) resistant to anthracycline, taxane, and capecitabine, in this multicenter, phase II study.Patients and MethodsPatients with measurable disease who had tumor progression while receiving prior anthracycline, taxane, and capecitabine were enrolled. Ixabepilone 40 mg/m2monotherapy was administered as a 3-hour intravenous infusion on day 1 of a 21-day cycle. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR), assessed by an independent radiology facility (IRF).ResultsA total of 126 patients were treated and 113 were assessable for response. Patients were heavily pretreated: 88% had received at least two lines of prior chemotherapy in the metastatic setting. IRF-assessed ORR was 11.5% (95% CI, 6.3% to 18.9%) for response-assessable patients. Investigator-assessed ORR for all treated patients was 18.3% (95% CI, 11.9% to 26.1%). Fifty percent of patients achieved stable disease (SD); 14.3% achieved SD ≥ 6 months. Median duration of response and progression-free survival were 5.7 and 3.1 months, respectively. Median overall survival was 8.6 months. Patients received a median of 4.0 treatment cycles (range, one to 16 cycles), and 25% of patients received ≥ eight cycles. Grade 3/4 treatment-related events included peripheral sensory neuropathy (14%), fatigue/asthenia (13%), myalgia (8%), and stomatitis/mucositis (6%). Resolution of grade 3/4 peripheral sensory neuropathy occurred after a median period of 5.4 weeks.ConclusionIxabepilone demonstrated clear activity and a manageable safety profile in patients with MBC resistant to anthracycline, taxane, and capecitabine. Responses were durable and notable in patients who had not previously responded to multiple prior therapies.
