    Abstract: TPS4597 Background: Non-clear cell renal cell carcinomas (nccRCC) account for approximately 25% of RCC patients (pts.). Data on treatment strategies for this heterogenous group of RCC are still limited, since most clinical trials focus on clear-cell RCC (ccRCC) histology. Recently combination therapies with immune checkpoint inhibitors (IO, avelumab or pembrolizumab) and tyrosinekinaseinhibitors (TKI) (axitinib) have been approved for treatment in RCC in all International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium (IMDC) risk groups. Additionally nivolumab and ipilimumab (IO/IO) has been approved for treatment in intermediate and high risk pts. showing a significant improvement in overall response rate (ORR), progression free (PFS), and overall survival (OS) compared to sunitinib. Moreover retrospective analysis in nccRCC pts. have shown promising results for IO-based therapies as well in these entities. Methods: In this prospective randomized phase-II multicenter European trial adults with advanced or metastatic nccRCC without prior systemic therapy are eligible. Other key inclusion criteria include: available tumor tissue, Karnofsky 〉 70% and measurable disease per RECIST 1.1. All histological diagnoses are reviewed by a central pathologist. The study plans to randomize ̃306 pts. stratified for papillary or non-papillary non-clear cell histology and by the IMDC risk score. Pts. will be randomized 1:1 to either i) nivolumab 3mg/kg intravenously (IV) plus Ipilimumab 1mg/kg IV every 3 weeks for 4 doses followed by nivolumab fixed dose 240mg IV every 2 weeks or fixed dose 480mg IV every 4 weeks or ii) standard of care therapy according to the approved schedule. Treatment will be discontinued in case of unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of informed consent. Pts may continue treatment beyond progression, if clinical benefit is achieved and treatment is well tolerated. Primary endpoint is the OS rate at 12 months. Secondary endpoints include OS rate at 6 and 18 months, median OS, PFS, ORR and quality of life. The trial is in progress and 214 patients (132 pts with papillary, 76 pts with non-papillary histology) have been enrolled until now. Clinical trial information: NCT03075423.

    Abstract: e16580 Background: Gain of function mutations of the FGFR3 gene have been reported to be important driver mutations in a subset of muscle-invasive bladder urothelial cancer (MIBC). Subsequently, gene specific kinase inhibitors (e.g., erdafitinib) have been developed to target FGFR3 mutant metastasized MIBC with promising clinical activity. FGFR3 mutational status testing is required for erdafitinib treatment, but FGFR3 mutations are rare in metastatic MIBC (10-15%). Thus, cheap and fast pre-screening tools such as artificial intelligence (AI) based image classifiers could help to reduce turnover times of FGFR3 mutational testing and save costs arising from universal mutational testing. Herein, we propose an AI-based approach to identify MIBC FGFR3 mutated patients on routine histological slides. Methods: Slides from 612 patients with MIBC from two different sources (CCC-EMN Erlangen cohort n = 239, mutant = 20; TCGA-BLCA n = 373, mutant = 50) were used. The CCC-EMN cohort was used as a discovery set while TCGA-BLCA was used as an independent validation set. A two-step AI model was used to 1) extract features from each slide and 2) predict FGFR3 status from these features. The AUC, sensitivity and specificity were used as metrics to assess the performance of our model. Most predictive regions of FGFR3 mutation were reviewed by an expert pathologist. Results: The model reached an AUC/Sensitivity/Specificity of 0.82 [0.76-0.87] / 0.90 [0.82-0.97] / 0.57 [0.53-0.62] on TCGA-BLCA, substantially improving upon results previously reported on the same cohort (Loeffler et al. 2021: AUC = 0.70). Most predictive regions of FGFR3 mutation revealed monomorphous conventional urothelial tumor morphology and low desmoplastic tumor stroma content, while least predictive regions contained pleomorphic tumor morphology and high amounts of desmoplastic tumor content. Conclusions: By ruling out 57% of MIBC FGFR3 wild type tumors with high sensitivity, our model is the first to reach valuable performance for clinical use. Consequently, this study paves the way for the development of FGFR3 pre-screening tools to ease the management of patients with MIBC.

    Abstract: 718 Background: Predictive markers for immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) in renal cell carcinoma patients are still missing. Until now, mainly primary tumor tissues have been analyzed to identify reliable markers including PD-L1, although distant metastases represent the therapy targets. Taking into account putative heterogeneity between primary tumors and metastases as well as dynamic changes during tumor progression and treatment, markers from liquid biopsies seem to be more suitable. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of PD-L1 in plasma and on extracellular vesicles (EV) from plasma in the Nivoswitch trial. Methods: Plasma samples at randomization were obtained from 39 patients who received 3 months of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy followed by random allocation to Nivolumab (“switch arm”) or continued TKI therapy (control arm) and during treatment (day 30). PD-L1 concentration was quantified by ELISA. EVs were isolated by ultracentrifugation or by using a commercial kit. They were characterized by Western blotting using cell specific, EV-specific markers as well as PD-L1 antibody. The data was analyzed by Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests as well as Kaplan Meier estimates. Results: PD-L1 was detected in plasma and EVs in all patients. PD-L1 plasma concentration was similar between response categories both in the overall cohort and the control (TKI) arm. In contrast, PD-L1 concentration in the “switch arm” was significantly lower in patients with objective response compared to patients with stable (p=0.028) or progressive disease (p=0.008) at day 0, whereas no significant difference occurred at day 30. Plasma PD-L1 levels during treatment (day 30 compared to day 0) did not show an association with therapy response in both arms. A trend towards better OS was found in patients with lower PD-L1 irrespective of treatment arm, but not for PFS. PD-L1 was detected on plasma EVs both by Western blotting as well as by ELISA, although the concentrations were too low for statistical analysis. Conclusions: In this study, plasma PD-L1 concentration did not show strong associations with clinical outcomes which might be caused by the rather small sample size and inherent heterogeneity of treatment. However, PD-L1 concentrations may have prognostic value confirming published data on tumor tissues. PD-L1 is detectable on EVs from plasma. Further studies should investigate the potential of EVs as biomarkers as well as their functional role in therapy response, especially in ICI. Clinical trial information: NCT02959554 .

    Abstract: Patients with biochemical failure (BF) after radical prostatectomy may benefit from dose-intensified salvage radiation therapy (SRT) of the prostate bed. We performed a randomized phase III trial assessing dose intensification. Patients and Methods Patients with BF but without evidence of macroscopic disease were randomly assigned to either 64 or 70 Gy. Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy or intensity-modulated radiation therapy/rotational techniques were used. The primary end point was freedom from BF. Secondary end points were acute toxicity according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 4.0) and quality of life (QoL) according to the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaires C30 and PR25. Results Three hundred fifty patients were enrolled between February 2011 and April 2014. Three patients withdrew informed consent, and three patients were not eligible, resulting in 344 patients age 48 to 75 years in the safety population. Thirty patients (8.7%) had grade 2 and two patients (0.6%) had grade 3 genitourinary (GU) baseline symptoms. Acute grade 2 and 3 GU toxicity was observed in 22 patients (13.0%) and one patient (0.6%), respectively, with 64 Gy and in 29 patients (16.6%) and three patients (1.7%), respectively, with 70 Gy (P = .2). Baseline grade 2 GI toxicity was observed in one patient (0.6%). Acute grade 2 and 3 GI toxicity was observed in 27 patients (16.0%) and one patient (0.6%), respectively, with 64 Gy, and in 27 patients (15.4%) and four patients (2.3%), respectively, with 70 Gy (P = .8). Changes in early QoL were minor. Patients receiving 70 Gy reported a more pronounced and clinically relevant worsening in urinary symptoms (mean difference in change score between arms, 3.6; P = .02). Conclusion Dose-intensified SRT was associated with low rates of acute grade 2 and 3 GU and GI toxicity. The impact of dose-intensified SRT on QoL was minor, except for a significantly greater worsening in urinary symptoms.

    Abstract: 493 Background: The tumor microenvironment in UC harboring FGFR gene alterations is characterized by decreased T-cell infiltration and low immune marker expression, potentially implicating suboptimal response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. The association between FGFR gene mutations/fusions and anti-PD-(L)1 treatment outcomes in advanced UC was assessed using real-world pt data. Methods: A pooled dataset of matched clinical and genomic data for advanced UC pts treated with anti-PD-(L)1 in any line from the Bladder Cancer Research Initiative for Drug Targets in Germany (BRIDGE) Consortium and UNC-CH was assessed. FGFR status was defined by a prespecified panel of FGFR2/3 mutations and fusions. Overall survival (OS) was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox proportional hazards models. Multivariate analyses were performed using potential prognostic covariates (sex, age, baseline tumor stage, urothelial histology, smoking history, primary tumor location, and ECOG) in a Cox regression model for OS to assess their impact on the effect of FGFR alterations. Results: Median OS for FGFR+ pts (n=28) who received any line of anti-PD-(L)1 therapy was 9.5 mo vs 7.5 mo for FGFR− pts (n=139) (HR: 1.03, 95% CI: 0.60-1.76, p=0.93). Median OS for pts treated with first-line anti-PD-(L)1 was 5.42 mo in FGFR+ pts (n=10) and was not reached for FGFR− pts (n=31) (HR: 2.06, 95% CI: 0.68-6.24, p=0.19); median OS in second-line anti-PD-(L)1 was 6.5 mo (FGFR+; n=14) vs 5.7 mo (FGFR−; n=86) (HR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.44-1.81, p=0.74). The multivariate analyses showed a significant trend of poorer OS in FGFR+ pts with first-line anti-PD-(L)1 (HR: 10.42, 95% CI: 1.45-74.97, p=0.02); wide CI may be attributed to small sample size for some categories in several covariates. Conclusions: Treatment with first-line anti-PD-(L)1 in FGFR+ pts may be associated with poorer OS outcomes in FGFR+ pts; however, this trend was not observed in FGFR+ pts treated with any line and second-line anti-PD-(L)1. Investigation of the predictive value of FGFR alterations to immunotherapy outcomes in larger real-world pt datasets is warranted.

    Abstract: 530 Background: Patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) that underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) prior to radical cystectomy (RC) show improved overall survival. Patients with a pathological complete response (pCR) usually have the best prognosis. In the literature, impaired response to immune checkpoint therapy has been reported in active smokers. The aim of our study was to examine the association of smoking status with pCR at RC after NAC. Moreover, we investigated the interaction of smoking status and Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) mRNA expression at transurethral resection (TUR) and pCR prediction at RC after NAC. Methods: Clinical Data and formalin fixed paraffin embedded tumor tissue samples from TUR and RC of 49 patients with MIBC were retrospectively analyzed. Using RT-PCR PD-L1 mRNA expression was measured in 40-∆C t values and normalized against the control gene CALM2. Smoking status was defined as never, former and active. After NAC, RC was performed and the specimens were evaluated for pCR, defined as ypT0N0M0. Statistical analyses comprised nonparametric and chi 2 testing, partition models and spearman correlation analyses. Results: The study cohort had a median age of 63 years and consisted of 38/49 (78%) males. Regarding smoking status 11/49 (22%) were never, 17/49 (35%) were former and 21/49 (43%) were active smokers. After NAC, 17/49 patients (35%) had a pCR. Never/former smokers did not show a higher rate of pCR compared to active smokers (43%vs.24%, p=0.16). Comparing smoking status (never/former vs. active smokers) within the subgroup showing high PD-L1 expression (≥32.1∆C t ), a higher rate of pCR was found in never/former smokers (58% vs. 25%, p=0.047). Conclusions: Never and former smokers with MIBC that show high PD-L1 mRNA expression patterns are more likely to show pCR at RC after NAC. Smoking cessation is important for the management of MIBC patients undergoing NAC and RC.

    Abstract: 5010 Background: GC has been shown to independently prognosticate outcomes in prostate cancer. Herein, we validate the GC in a European randomized phase III trial of dose escalated SRT after RP. Methods: SAKK 09/10 (NCT01272050) randomized 350 patients with biochemical recurrence after RP to 64Gy vs 70Gy. No patients received androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or pelvic nodal radiotherapy. A pre-specified statistical plan was developed to assess the impact of the GC on clinical outcomes. RP samples were centrally reviewed for the highest-grade tumor and those passing quality control (QC) were run on a clinical-grade whole-transcriptome assay to obtain the GC score (0 to 1; 〈 0.45, 0.45-0.6, 〉 0.6 for low-, intermediate-, and high, respectively). The primary aim of this study was to validate the GC for the prediction of freedom from biochemical progression (FFBP) using Cox multivariable analysis (MVA) adjusting for age, T-category, Gleason score, persistent PSA after RP, PSA at randomization, and randomization arm. The secondary aims were to evaluate the association of GC with clinical progression-free survival (CPFS) and use of salvage ADT. Results: Of 233 patients with tissue available, 226 passed QC and were included for analysis. The final GC cohort was a representative sample of the overall cohort, with a median follow-up of 6.3 years (IQR 6.0-7.2). GC score (continuous per 0.1 unit, score 0-1) was independently associated with FFBP (HR 1.14 [95% CI 1.03-1.25], p = 0.009). Higher GC scores were independently associated with CPFS, use of salvage ADT, and rapid biochemical failure ( 〈 18 months after SRT). High- vs. low/intermediate-GC showed a HR of 2.22 ([95% CI 1.37-3.58], p = 0.001) for FFBP, 2.29 ([95% CI 1.32-3.98] , p = 0.003) for CPFS, and 2.99 ([95% CI 1.50-5.95], p = 0.002) for use of salvage ADT. Patients with high-GC had 5-year FFBP of 45% [95% CI 32-59] vs 71% [95% CI 64-78] in low-intermediate GC. Similar estimates for GC risk groups were observed in the 64Gy vs 70Gy in GC high (5-year FFBP of 51% [95% CI 32-70] vs 39% [95% CI 20-59]) and in low-intermediate GC (75% [95% CI 65-84] vs 69% [95% CI 59-78]). Conclusions: This study represents the first contemporary randomized controlled trial in patients with recurrent prostate cancer treated with early SRT without ADT that has validated the prognostic utility of the GC. Independent of standard clinicopathologic variables and radiotherapy dose, patients with a high-GC were more than twice as likely than a lower GC score to experience biochemical and clinical progression and receive salvage ADT. This data confirms the clinical value of Decipher GC for tailoring treatment in the postoperative salvage setting.

    Abstract: 538 Background: The value of PD-L1 to predict durable responses to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) is inconsistent. We hypothesize that the use of archived primary tumor material (PRIM) for PD-L1 testing in clinical trials not properly reflecting the metastatic disease status (MET) contributes to this clinical issue. Objective: To analyze the predictive and prognostic value of PD-L1, spatial immunephenotypes and MHC-I determined in patient-matched PRIM/MET. Methods: PD-L1 (Ventana IC-Score, combined positivity score), spatial immunephenotypes (midi-plex digital spatial immuneprofiling) and MHC-I were examined in 154 mUC patients with at least one available pretreatment MET (138 patient-matched PRIM/MET pairs). 119 patients received first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, and 50 patients received second-line immunecheckpoint inhibition. PD-L1 expression, spatial immunephenotypes and MHC-I status of (patient-matched PRIM and) pretreatment MET were correlated to chemotherapy and ICI response and outcomes. Results: Discordance rates in patient-matched PRIM/MET amounted 25/30%, 36% and 49% for PD-L1 (CPS10/IC5%), immunephenotypes and MHC-I (loss versus preserved), respectively. Correlations with chemotherapy and ICI responses were observed for immunephenotypes and MHC-I status determined in MET (not for PD-L1 alone), but not in PRIM. In case of ICI, patients with cytotoxic tumor immune microenvironments (TIME) showed durable responses with disease control rates of 90% and a hazard ratio for disease progression/death of 0.05 (95%-CI:0.01-0.65) versus patients with immunedepleted MET (DCR 29%). MET MHC-I status added incremental value to predict durable ICI responses: Combination of MHC-I based (auto-)antigen expression of tumor cells with spatial immunepehnotypes in pre-treatment MET improved predictive and prognostic impact for response and outcome prediction of mUC patients undergoing first-line platinum-based chemotherapy and second-line immunecheckpoint inhibition. Limitations include the partly retrospective design and the lack of MET multisampling on individual patient level. Conclusions: The TIME is subject to substantial dynamics during metastatic evolution. MET immunephenotypes and MHC-I statuses show promising potential to predict chemotherapy and durable ICI responses, while the PRIM TIME does not. Thus, future clinical trials should rather rely on pre-treatment MET-biopsies reflecting the current immunological disease state than on PRIM.
