    Abstract: 87 Background: Anti-PD-(L)1-based therapy yielded unprecedented efficacy in patients with MSI-high mCRC. A relevant proportion of subjects may achieve long-term disease control when receiving ICIs, particularly anti-PD-1 plus anti-CTLA-4 combo. However, some patients still experience treatment refractoriness or short-term clinical benefit. Methods: We analyzed data of 163 patients with MSI-high mCRC treated with anti-PD-1 +/- anti-CTLA-4 agents. The endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); multivariable analyses were performed using a cure model (Othus et al, CCR 2012), which allows to test which factors, including ICI type, could identify patients achieving long-term disease control. To account for biases consistent with non-random ICI assignment, we estimated a propensity score (covariates: ECOG PS, age, sex, primary tumor location, its resection, adjuvant treatment, synchronous presentation of mets, mucinous histotype, RAS/BRAF status, n. prior treatment lines, previous chemo, n. metastatic sites, presence of peritoneal, lung, liver, bone, brain, nodal mets), and then in the cure model we applied an inverse-probability-of-treatment-weight (IPTW) based on propensity score. A beforehand variable selection was operated using a random survival forest (RSF) model (RSF covariates: all the propensity score covariates plus ICI line and ICI type, platelets count (PLT), NLR, LDH), where we introduced a weight system in order to adjust variable selection net of ICI type. Results: RFS selected 5 variables: ICI type, ECOG PS, NLR, PLT and N. prior lines, the combination of which allowed to estimate the cure probability: the higher the probability the greater the chance of achieving long-term disease control. The Table shows the odds ratio estimates, defining the chance of being “cured” according to the values of the selected variables. ICI type was significantly associated with long-term disease control: patients treated with anti CTLA-4-combo achieved the highest chance of being cured, 3.41 times greater than the chance of patients treated with anti PD-1 mono. The median cure probability was as higher as 70.1% (IQR: 51.9-81.0%) with CTLA-4-combo vs 34.8% (IQR: 18.4-51.9%) with anti-PD-1 mono; the probability within treatment groups was varying according to ECOG PS, NLR, PLT and n. prior lines. Conclusions: Based on 5 variables including the ICI treatment type, a nomogram was built in order to estimate the cure probability in patients with MSI-high mCRC and potentially assist clinicians in their clinical practice.

    Abstract: 2544 Background: Precision medicine is a promising tool in oncology. Depatux-M is a new antibody-drug conjugate, consisting of a specific antibody against activated EGFR and a cytotoxic agent with antimicrotubule activity. The Intellance2/EORTC 1410 phase II trial, showed interesting results for Depatux-M and TMZ combination in EGFR-amplified glioblastoma (GBM) patients (PTS) at first recurrence after RT and TMZ. In our study, we investigated clinical outcome and safety of this combination used in recurrent GBM PTS as “compassionate use”. Methods: In this prospective observational study, PTS were enrolled from 7 centres of AINO. Major inclusion criteria were: histologically confirmed diagnosis of GBM, 1 or more prior systemic therapies, ECOG PS ≤ 2 and EGFR-amplified (analyzed by FISH). According to original schedule, patients received Depatux-M 1.25 mg/kg every two weeks combined with TMZ until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the survival curves, RANO criteria for radiological assessment, CTCAE v5.0 for drug related adverse events. Results: From October 2018 to June 2019, we enrolled 36 PTS: median age was 57, ECOG PS 0-1 in 88% of PTS, MGMTmet in 64%, 42% received the treatment as second-line therapy and 27% underwent further chemotherapy at progression. At the time of analysis, 13 PTS (36%) had died and 27 PTS (75%) had progressed. Median OS was 8.7ms (95%CI not available), 6ms OS was 68%; median PFS was 2.3ms (95% CI 1.8 – 2.8), 6ms PFS was 37%. All PTS were evaluable for response: disease control rate was 47%: stable disease was reported in 36% and partial response in 11% of PTS. Drug-related adverse events led to dose reductions of Depatux-M in 17% of PTS, in 28% was delayed and in 8% was permanently discontinued. The most frequent grade 3-4 adverse events were ocular toxicity in 67% and haematological toxicity in 17% of PTS; no death was considered drug-related. Conclusions: We report the first “real world” experience of Depatux-M plus TMZ in recurrent GBM. We showed encouraging clinical benefit, despite most patients were treated beyond the second-line of therapy. Overall the results are closed to those reported in previous phase II trial. Although toxicity was higher than expected, it was manageable and only a small group of patients discontinued the treatment due to serious adverse events

    Abstract: 647 Background: Cabozantinib (CABO) is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor registered for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) for the first or subsequent lines. Tolerability in real world elderly patients is poorly documented. G8 is a short test for vulnerability gaining increased interest as a screening tool for trials in geriatric oncology. Methods: ZEBRA/MEET-URO 9 was a prospective multicenter study of safety and activity of CABO administered to pts ≥70 years with mRCC, either in the first or subsequent lines of treatment, until progression or unacceptable toxicity. All pts underwent G8 score at baseline, with a cut-off for vulnerability of 14 or below. Data on tolerability and activity were collected prospectively after signature of informed consent. Results: A total of 104 pts started CABO at 13 Italian Centers, 38,5% as first line. Median age was 75.8 yrs (range 70.2-87.4 yrs, 26 pts ≥80 yrs), 73.1% males. IMDC score was good 19.2%, intermediate 53.9%, poor 26.9%. Primary tumor had been removed in 82.7% of pts, histology was clear cell 78.8%, papillary 8.7%, chromophobe 5.8%, unclassified 6.7%. G8 score was ≤14 in 65.4% of pts. Up-front dose reduction of CABO was more frequent in pts with low G8 score (79.4 vs 41.7%, p=0.003), but eventually the majority of pts (91.4%) underwent dose reductions of CABO. After a median treatment of 6.4 months (0.5-26.1 months), 38.4% of pts developed G3-4 toxicities, 22.1% interrupted treatment due to adverse events, 2.8% (3 pts) died due to cardiovascular or thromboembolic events. Median PFS was 7.6 months (95% CI=5.8-12.6 months) in first line, 10.0 months (5.8-15.6) in second or further lines, median OS was 20.1 months (11.1-not reached) and 15.6 months (12.5-not reached), respectively. G8 score ≤14 did not correlate with rate of temporary interruptions 〉 7 days, hospitalization, incidence of G3-5 toxicities, as well as with PFS. Pts with G8 score ≤14 had a trend for reduced OS, but difference was not statistically significant both in the first and further lines of treatment. Conclusions: Screening G8 test was positive in more than a half of pts, underlying the need for detailed geriatric assessment and increased clinical monitoring of such patients. A G8 score ≤14 correlated with up-front dose reduction of CABO but not with G3-5 toxicities probably due to the high rates of dose reductions in the whole cohort. Correlation between low G8 score and OS could not be demonstrated in this population.

    Abstract: To verify whether both doublet chemotherapy with a modified schedule of fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX) and monochemotherapy with fluorouracil plus leucovorin (5-FU + LV) achieve satisfactory efficacy when both regimens are combined with panitumumab (PAN) as initial treatment of elderly patients with RAS/ BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). PATIENTS AND METHODS PANDA (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02904031 ) was an open-label, randomized phase II noncomparative trial in previously untreated patients age 70 years and older with unresectable RAS/ BRAF wild-type mCRC. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to mFOLFOX + PAN (arm A) or 5-FU + LV + PAN (arm B) for up to 12 cycles, followed by PAN maintenance. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). In each arm, assuming a null hypothesis of median PFS time ≤6 months and target PFS ≥9.65, 90 patients per arm were needed to achieve 90% power and 5% type I error (one-sided Brookmeyer-Crowley test). RESULTS Between July 2016 and April 2019, 91 patients were randomly assigned to arm A and 92 to arm B. At a median follow-up of 50.0 months (IQR, 45.6-56.4), median PFS was 9.6 and 9.0 months for arm A and B, respectively ( P 〈 .001 in each arm). Overall response rate was 69% and 52%, whereas median overall survival was 23.5 and 22.0 months in arm A and B, respectively. The overall rate of grade 〉 2 chemotherapy-related adverse events was 60% and 37%, respectively. Baseline G8 and Chemotherapy Risk Assessment Scale for High-Age Patients scores were prognostic, but they were not associated with efficacy and safety of the two arms. CONCLUSION Both mFOLFOX and 5-FU + LV + PAN are reasonable options as initial therapy of elderly patients with RAS/ BRAF wild-type mCRC. 5-FU + LV + PAN is associated with a better safety profile.

    Abstract: 48 Background: First-line decision making is the key to the successful management of mCRC patients (pts). RAS/BRAF status is essential to choose the best targeted agent. In hub centers, a not negligible proportion of pts referred from elsewhere may not have standard tissue-based (STB) molecular results available at the time of first oncologic visit (T0). LB may help circumvent these hurdles. Methods: A monoinstitutional prospective head-to-head comparison of LB versus (vs) STB testing was conducted in a real-world setting. Selection criteria included: mCRC with unknown RAS/BRAF status at T0, tissue from primary or metastases archived in external centers, no previous anti- EGFR agents. At T0, pts underwent plasma sampling for LB testing and procedure for tissue recovery. RAS/BRAF genotyping was carried out by droplet digital PCR on circulating-free (cf) DNA. Primary endpoint was the comparison of time to LB (T1) vs STB (T2) results. Secondary endpoints were the overall percent agreement (OPA), specificity, sensitivity, positive and negative predictive value (PPV and NPV) of LB. Urinary (u) cfDNA testing was also explored. Results: A total of 33 pts were included. Mean T1 was 7 (2-12) days (d) as compared to 22 (7-65) d mean T2. T2 included a mean time for tissue recovery of 17 d. The OPA between LB and STB analysis was 83%. Compared to STB testing, LB specificity and sensitivity were 90% and 80%, respectively, with a PPV of 94% and NPV of 69%. In detail, at STB and LB testing, RAS mutation was found in 50% and 43% of pts; BRAF mutation in 17% and 13%, respectively. LB results included 1 false positive and 4 false negative (FN). FN showed a significantly lower tumor burden (i.e. total tumor volume) at basal CT scan. Concordance between STB and ucfDNA testing was 89%, with a sensitivity of 83% and specificity of 100% recorded for ucfDNA analysis. Conclusions: Faster turnaround time, high concordance and accuracy are 3 key-points supporting the adoption of LB in routinary mCRC care, in particular when decision on first-line is urgent and tissue recovery from external centers may require a long time. Results should be interpreted with caution in LB wild-type cases with low tumor burden.

    Abstract: 11 Background: In the phase 2 CheckMate 142 trial, nivolumab plus low-dose ipilimumab provided robust and durable clinical benefit and was well tolerated as first-line therapy for microsatellite instability-high/DNA mismatch repair deficient (MSI-H/dMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) (Lenz et al. Ann Oncol 2018;29:LBA18). Longer follow-up data will be presented. Methods: Patients with MSI-H/dMMR mCRC and no prior treatment for metastatic disease received nivolumab 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks plus low-dose ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 6 weeks until disease progression or discontinuation. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR). Results: For all 45 patients (median follow-up was 13.8 months), ORR was 60% (95% CI 44.3–74.3). Responses were consistent with the overall population across subgroups including age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy, and mutation status (Table). Seven patients (16%) had grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events; 3 (7%) had any grade treatment-related adverse events leading to discontinuation. Updated response, survival, and safety data after a longer follow-up (median 19.9 months) will be presented. Conclusions: Nivolumab plus low-dose ipilimumab demonstrated robust and durable clinical benefit and was well tolerated. Evaluated subgroups had responses consistent with the overall population. Nivolumab plus low-dose ipilimumab may represent a new first-line treatment option for patients with MSI-H/dMMR mCRC. Clinical trial information: NCT02060188. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 66 Background: MPI is an effective tool for geriatric assessment in elderly patients (pts). An oncological version of MPI (Onco-MPI) has been validated by our group in pts with cancer. We evaluate here the prognostic role of Onco-MPI in pts affected by urological cancer. Methods: Pts aged ≥70 years with prostate, renal and urothelial cancer (bladder or upper urinary tract) referred to the Medical Oncology 1 Unit from Jan 2005 to Aug 2019 received a basal comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). Onco-MPI was calculated by a validated algorithm as a weighted linear combination of the CGA domains as previously described, identifying 3 different prognostic groups: low (scores 0.0-0.46), intermediate (scores 0.47-0.63) and high risk (scores 0.64-1.0). Results: A total of 643 pts were included; 382 with prostate, 121 renal and 140 urothelial cancer. Median age was 77 years (68-95). ECOG PS was 0 in 44%, 1 in 34.2% and 〉 1 in 21.6%; 19.3% had stage I or II disease, 29.7% stage III and 51% stage IV. Median overall survival (OS) was 35.4 months (95% CI 29.5-41.2). Onco-MPI score (low vs medium vs high risk) was significantly associated with OS in the overall population as well as in the subgroups of patients with prostate, renal or urothelial cancer (table). In pts with prostate cancer the majority of pts were low risk (93%) and only few intermediate (7%), no one was high risk. Conclusions: Onco-MPI confirmed its prognostic role in elderly pts with prostate, renal and urothelial carcinoma. It may be therefore valuable both in clinical practice for driving decision-making, and in geriatric clinical trials thanks to its standardization.[Table: see text]

    Abstract: 4002 Background: Data on first-line treatment efficacy in elderly patients are limited. Many analyses adopt a questionable cut-off of 65 years and specific evidence with anti-EGFRs is low. FOLFOX-panitumumab (pan) is an option for RAS wild-type (wt) untreated mCRC patients. Guidelines recommend considering fluoropyrimidine monotherapy as an option for elderly patients, but no randomized studies have ever explored the role of the combination with an anti-EGFR. Methods: This is a prospective, open-label, multicenter phase II randomized trial. Unresectable and previously untreated RAS- BRAF wt mCRC patients aged ≥70 were randomized to receive FOLFOX-pan (arm A), or 5FU/LV-pan (arm B) for up to 12 cycles followed by pan maintenance until PD. The primary EP was PFS in both arms. Stratification criteria were age (≤75 vs 〉 75 years), ECOG PS (0–1 vs 2) and geriatric assessment with G8 Score (≤14 vs 〉 14). In each treatment arm, the null hypothesis for median PFS was set at ≤6 months. Assuming an expected median PFS time ≥9.5 months with both experimental regimens, a sample size of 90 patients in each arm granted to the study a power of 90%, with a type I error rate equal to 5% (1-sided Brookmeyer-Crowley test) for rejecting the null hypothesis. No formal comparison between the two arms was planned. Results: From Jul 2016 to Apr 2019 a total of 394 patients were screened, 211 were deemed eligible for inclusion and 185 were randomized (92 arm A and 93 arm B). Main pts’ characteristics were (arm A/B): males 66%/61%; median age 77/77y; PS≥1 49%/55%; right colon 23%/21%; G8 〉 14 31%/30%. At a median follow up of 20.5 mos, 135 (arm A/B: 64/71) PD events were collected. Median PFS was 9.6 (95% CI 8.8-10.9) in arm A with FOLFOX-pan and 9.1 (95% CI 7.7-9.9) in arm B with 5FU/LV-pan. Response rates were (arm A/B): 65%/57%. Grade 3-4 toxicities were (arm A/B): neutropenia 9.8%/1.1%; diarrhea 16.3%/1.1%; stomatitis 9.8%/4.4%; neurotoxicity 3.3%/0%; fatigue 6.5%/4.4%; skin rash 25%/24.2%, hypomagnesemia 3.3%/7.7%. Conclusions: Large prospective randomized studies in molecularly selected elderly mCRC are feasible with multicenter collaborative efforts. Primary EP was met in both treatment arms. 5FU/LV plus panitumumab for up to 12 cycles followed by panitumumab maintenance until PD might be a reasonable option in elderly mCRC patients with RAS/BRAF wt tumors deserving further investigations in phase III trials. Clinical trial information: NCT02904031 .

    Abstract: e14024 Background: Regorafenib (REG), an oral multikinase inhibitor of angiogenic, stromal, and oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases showed encouraging benefit in recurrent GBM patients enrolled in the randomized, phase 2 REGOMA trial. We investigated the clinical outcome and safety of REG in a real-life population of recurrent glioblastoma patients treated at Veneto Institute of Oncology as off-label use. Methods: The clinical data of patients receiving REG at Veneto Institute of Oncology (Padua, Italy) were entered prospectively into clinical records and were retrospectively analyzed. The primary endpoints of the study were overall survival (OS) and safety. The major inclusion criteria were: histologically confirmed diagnosis of GBM, disease progression as defined by RANO criteria after surgery followed by radiochemotherapy with temozolomide, ECOG PS ≤ 2; PTS with ≥ 2 prior lines of therapy were excluded. According to original schedule, patients received REG 160 mg once daily for the first 3 weeks of each 4-week cycle until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the survival curves, RANO criteria for radiological assessment, CTCAE v5.0 for drug related adverse events. Results: From February 2018 to September 2020, 54 consecutive patients were treated with REG and enrolled in this study: median age was 56, ECOG PS 0-1 in 91% of patients, MGMTmet in 53%, second surgery at the time of relapse were performed in 30% of enrolled patient, 41% of patients underwent steroids at baseline. At the time of analysis, median follow-up was 11.1 ms, 30 PTS (56%) had died and 50 PTS (93%) had progressed. Median OS was 10.2 ms (95%CI, 6.4-13.9), 12m-OS was 43%; median PFS was 2.3ms (95%CI, 1.3-3.3) and 6m-PFS was 18%. All patients were evaluable for response: disease control rate (DCR) was 46.3%; stable disease was reported in 38.8% and partial response in 7.4%. Age, MGMT status and corticosteroid use at baseline were not statistically significant on multivariate analysis for OS. Grade 3 drug-related adverse events (AEs) occurred in 10 patients (18%) and the most frequent were hand-foot skin reaction, asthenia and increased lipase and transaminases; 1 PT (2%) reported a grade 4 AE (rash maculo-papular). AEs led to REG dose reductions in 37% of patients and, it was permanently discontinued in 5%. No death was considered to be drug-related. Conclusions: We reported a large, mono-institutional “real world” experience of REG in recurrent glioblastoma patients. Overall, results are close to those reported in REGOMA trial although, we showed a longer OS. Toxicity was moderate and manageable. Encouraging clinical benefits of REG in recurrent GBM population were confirmed.
