    Abstract: Hormonal breast cancer treatment increases menopausal symptoms in women. This study investigated differences between the symptoms associated with either adjuvant tamoxifen or exemestane. Patients and Methods Ten common symptoms were assessed by self-report questionnaire administered to 1,614 consecutive patients at baseline and every 3 months during the first year of a double-blind, randomized trial of postmenopausal women with early hormone receptor–positive breast cancer. Symptoms were categorized as none, mild, moderate, or severe. A hot flash score was calculated at each time point. Symptoms were analyzed by repeated-measures analysis of variance. Each time period was tested repeatedly against the baseline; an overall P value was assigned for each reported symptom. Results Compliance was excellent, with 7,286 questionnaires analyzed. Baseline symptom prevalence ranged from 2% (vaginal bleeding) to 60% to 70% (bone/muscle aches and low energy). There were no significant differences in vaginal bleeding, mood alteration, or low energy. Patients receiving tamoxifen had significantly more vaginal discharge (P 〈 .0001). Exemestane patients reported more bone/muscle aches (P 〈 .0001), vaginal dryness (P = .0004), and difficulty sleeping (P = .03). In both groups, the hot flash score peaked at 3 months and decreased thereafter. At 12 months, patients receiving tamoxifen had a significantly higher mean hot flash score (P = .03), with daily hot flashes increasing from baseline by 33% compared with a 7% increase from baseline with exemestane. Conclusion At 12 months, exemestane was associated with fewer hot flashes and less vaginal discharge than tamoxifen, but with more vaginal dryness, bone/muscle aches, and difficulty sleeping. Symptoms were common in both groups.

    Abstract: 4580 Background: Despite advances in the treatment of clear cell RCC, there is a paucity of data to guide management of nccRCC due to the heterogeneity and rarity of these tumors. The clinical activity of new combination therapies (including immunotherapy (IO), anti-vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors (VEGF), and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors) in metastatic nccRCC is not known. Methods: In this multicenter retrospective analysis, we explored the efficacy of combination systemic therapies in patients with nccRCC. Baseline and follow-up demographic, clinical, treatment, and radiographic data were collected. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by investigator review. Secondary endpoints include progression- free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), median duration of response (DOR), overall survival (OS), and biomarker correlates. Results: Among 66 included patients, median age was 59 yr; 60% were male and 62% white. Histologies included papillary (38%), chromophobe (17%), unclassified (24%), translocation (12%), and other (9 %). Sarcomatoid and/or rhabdoid differentiation was present in 18%, 70% had prior nephrectomy, 86% were IMDC intermediate/poor risk, 29% and 32% had liver and bone metastasis respectively. 67% received combination treatment in the first line. Comparison of outcomes based on treatment regimen is shown in the table. Conclusions: Antitumor activity was observed with novel combinations in nccRCC which warrants further prospective studies. Response rates and survival with combination therapy in this dataset remain inferior to rates seen in clear cell RCC.[Table: see text]

    Abstract: 351 Background: Pancreas cancer is expensive to treat, and the effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) and chemoradiation (CRT) following resection is debated. We compared both survival and healthcare costs by adjuvant therapy after curative-intent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreas adenocarcinoma (PC). Methods: All patients with resected PC in Ontario, Canada diagnosed 2004 to 2014 were identified and linked to administrative healthcare databases. Stratified Kaplan—Meier survival curves and log-rank test compared survival across treatment groups. Costs were assessed from the perspective of Ontario’s single-payer healthcare system and compared between CT and CRT. A one-year time horizon was used from the date of surgery. Results: 677 PC patients met all inclusion/exclusion criteria and underwent curative-intent PD with 77% receiving CT and 23% CRT. Median survival after resection was 21.7 and 18.9 months for CT and CRT groups, respectively. Patients receiving CRT were less likely to have high comorbidity burden (ADG ≥ 10), but were similar across other demographics. CRT patients were more likely to have margin positive disease. In a subgroup of 489 patients with margin negative disease, median survival in the node negative patients (n = 156) was 28.0 months for CRT and 24.7 months for CT (p = 0.8297, logrank). Median survival in the node positive patients (n = 333) was 20.6 months and 21.8 months for the CRT and CT patients, respectively (p = 0.9856, logrank). The median total one-year cost for CT was $52,575 (USD); CRT was $68,216 (Table 1). Conclusions: Patients who underwent adjuvant CT and CRT after PD for PC had similar overall survival, but healthcare expenditures were significantly higher in the CRT group. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 4545 Background: Despite recent advances in the treatment of clear cell RCC, there is a paucity of data to guide management of nccRCC due to the heterogeneity and rarity of these tumors. The clinical activity of combination therapies (including IO-IO, IO-VEGF, VEGF-mTOR) in subtypes of advanced nccRCC is unknown. Methods: In this multicenter retrospective analysis, we evaluated the efficacy of combination systemic therapies in patients with nccRCC. Eligible patients included those with nccRCC as determined by local genitourinary pathology review and receipt of one of three combination regimens during any line treatment (IO-IO, IO-VEGF, mTOR-VEGF). The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by investigator review. Secondary endpoints were progression- free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), and overall survival (OS). Results: Among 128 included patients, median age was 57 years; 66% were male and 65% white. Histologies included papillary (37%), unclassified (33%), chromophobe (16%), translocation (9%), and other (5 %). Among all patients, 69% had prior nephrectomy; 80% were IMDC intermediate/poor risk; 20% had sarcomatoid and/or rhabdoid differentiation, 27% and 29% had liver and bone metastasis respectively and 63% received combination treatment as first line. Comparison of outcomes based on treatment regimen, line of treatment and subtype is shown in the table. Median PFS and OS were longer with IO/IO and IO/VEGF compared to VEGF/ mTOR at 8.5, 9.5 and 3.7 months and 24.4, 18.2 and 15.4 months respectively. Conclusions: Antitumor activity was observed with novel combinations in nccRCC in both frontline and later line setting. Optimal management of nccRCC remains an unmet need and prospective data is warranted to guide treatment selection for this population. [Table: see text]
