    Abstract: The combination of interferon alfa (IFNα) and isotretinoin has shown a direct antiproliferative effect on human melanoma cell lines, but it remained unclear whether this combination is more effective than IFNα alone in patients with metastatic melanoma. We evaluated safety and efficacy of IFNα and isotretinoin compared with IFNα alone as adjuvant treatment in patients with primary malignant melanoma stage IIA and IIB. Patients and Methods In a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 407 melanoma patients in stage IIA (301 patients) and IIB (106 patients) were randomly assigned to either IFNα and isotretinoin (isotretinoin group; 206 patients) or IFNα and placebo (placebo group; 201 patients) after excision of the primary tumor. IFNα was administered three times a week at a dose of 3 million units subcutaneously for 24 months. Isotretinoin at a dose of 20 mg for patients ≤ 73 kg, 30 mg for patients greater than 73 kg, or placebo daily for 24 months. Results A scheduled interim analysis revealed no significant differences in survival rates, with the isotretinoin group and the placebo group showing 5-year disease-free survival rates of 55% (95% CI, 46% to 65%) and 67% (95% CI, 59% to 75%), respectively, and overall 5-year survival rates of 76% (95% CI, 67% to 84%) and 81% (95% CI, 74% to 88%), respectively. The trial was stopped for futility. Conclusion The addition of isotretinoin to an adjuvant treatment of low-dose IFNα in patients with stage IIA and IIB melanoma had no significant effect on disease-free or overall survival and is therefore not recommended.

    Abstract: Total neoadjuvant therapy is a new paradigm for rectal cancer treatment. Optimal scheduling of preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and chemotherapy remains to be established. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a multicenter, randomized, phase II trial using a pick-the-winner design on the basis of the hypothesis of an increased pathologic complete response (pCR) of 25% after total neoadjuvant therapy compared with standard 15% after preoperative CRT. Patients with stage II or III rectal cancer were assigned to group A for induction chemotherapy using three cycles of fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin before fluorouracil/oxaliplatin CRT (50.4 Gy) or to group B for consolidation chemotherapy after CRT. Secondary end points included toxicity, compliance, and surgical morbidity. RESULTS Of the 311 patients enrolled, 306 patients were evaluable (156 in group A and 150 in group B). CRT-related grade 3 or 4 toxicity was lower (37% v 27%) and compliance with CRT higher in group B (91%, 78%, and 76% v 97%, 87%, and 93% received full-dose radiotherapy, concomitant fluorouracil, and concomitant oxaliplatin in groups A and B, respectively); 92% versus 85% completed all induction/consolidation chemotherapy cycles, respectively. The longer interval between completion of CRT and surgery in group B (median 90 v 45 days in group A) did not increase surgical morbidity. A pCR in the intention-to-treat population was achieved in 17% in group A and in 25% in group B. Thus, only group B ( P  〈 .001), but not group A ( P = .210), fulfilled the predefined statistical hypothesis. CONCLUSION Up-front CRT followed by chemotherapy resulted in better compliance with CRT but worse compliance with chemotherapy compared with group A. Long-term follow-up will assess whether improved pCR in group B translates to better oncologic outcome.

    Abstract: e20550 Background: Patient selection, dosing regimens and resistance mechanisms for immune checkpoint inhibitor combination therapy remain unmet medical needs in lung cancer. Combining blockade of PD-1 and CTLA-4 can be more effective than monotherapy but is accompanied by an increase in toxicity. Thus, to circumvent unnecessary toxicity it is of great interest to identify patients who will benefit from PD-1/PD-L1 blockade alone and to add ipilimumab only in case of primary or secondary progression. We present interim data from the non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cohort of the ongoing BIOLUMA trial which evaluates efficacy and safety of nivolumab and ipilimumab in lung cancer with a broad translational program to identify potential biomarkers predictive of response and/or resistance including whole exome sequencing (WES) of serial biopsies, functional analysis of peripheral T-cells and gut microbiome analyses. Methods: BIOLUMA is a multicentre non-randomised phase II trial in 2 nd line patients with non-squamous NSCLC. Patients are treated with nivolumab 240 mg until disease progression and subsequently with a combination therapy of nivolumab 3 mg/kg q2w and ipilimumab 1mg/kg q6w. Primary endpoint is overall response rate (ORR) after addition of ipilimumab to nivolumab treatment. Analysis of sequential tumor biopsies, blood and gut microbiome is performed at different timepoints. Results: To date, 26 patients have been enrolled and 9 patients were transferred to the combination therapy after progression on nivolumab monotherapy. Drop out rate between the treatment arms is high, mainly due to rapid disease progression and adverse events which don’t allow addition of ipilimumab. ORR is available for 8 of these patients: 6 patients (75%) had PD as best response, and 1 (12.5%) each had a stable disease and partial response, respectively. The patient who achieved a PR had experienced primary tumor progression on nivolumab monotherapy before. Toxicity rate was similar to what has been reported from other trials. Conclusions: In NSCLC, addition of ipilimumab to nivolumab in nivolumab refractory patients seems to be safe, but the response rate is low and the drop out between the treatment parts high. Given these data, early termination of this cohort is currently discussed. Clinical trial information: NCT03083691.

    Abstract: 7020 Background: Blinatumomab is an anti-CD19/anti-CD3 bispecific T cell engager (BiTE) that induces target cell-dependent, polyclonal T cell activation and proliferation, resulting in redirected lysis of CD19 + target cells. Methods: In a phase 2 study, adult patients (N=36) with relapsed/refractory B-precursor ALL received continuous blinatumomab IV infusion for 28 days in ≤5 treatment/consolidation cycles. Whole blood and serum samples were collected throughout treatment and analyzed for lymphocyte subpopulations, cytokines, granzyme B, and blinatumomab serum concentrations. Results: Lymphocytes in all patients responded in a similar fashion. After infusion start, peripheral B cell counts dropped to ≤1 B cell/μL in 〈 1 week and remained undetectable throughout treatment. Peripheral T cells showed a redistribution characterized by swift disappearance within the first 2-6 hrs and subsequent recovery to baseline within several days. Otherwise, T cell counts remained at least stable in most patients. In some patients even an expansion of the T cell compartments was observed, most likely due to specific proliferation of activated T cells but could not be defined as prerequisite for treatment efficacy. During the first infusion days, a significant proportion of T cells newly expressed the activation marker CD69, and the T cell effector molecule granzyme B was detectable in serum. Additionally, a transient cytokine release dominated by IL-10, IL-6 and IFN-γ was observed in most patients shortly after first infusion start, which was alleviated or absent in subsequent cycles. Blinatumomab serum steady state concentrations (mean±SD) were 198±61 pg/mL and 694±236 pg/mL at doses of 5 and 15 μg/m²/d, respectively, which is comparable to those from previous studies. Conclusions: Immunopharmacodynamic response to blinatumomab was characterized by B cell depletion, T cell activation and redistribution, and release of granzyme B and cytokines, suggesting T cell engagement according to the expected BiTE mode of action. The tested pharmacodynamic markers did not allow for predictive differentiation between patients achieving a hematologic response and those who did not. Clinical trial information: NCT01209286.

    Abstract: 8563 Background: Patient selection, dosing regimens and resistance mechanisms for immune checkpoint inhibitor combination therapy remain unmet medical needs in lung cancer. We present interim data from the small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) cohort of the ongoing BIOLUMA trial which evaluates efficacy and safety of nivolumab and ipilimumab in lung cancer with a broad translational program to identify potential biomarkers predictive of response and/or resistance including whole exome sequencing (WES) of serial biopsies, functional analysis of peripheral T-cells and gut microbiome analyses. Methods: BIOLUMA is an investigator initiated, multicentre non-randomised phase II trial in 2 nd line patients with SCLC. The initial all-comer SCLC cohort was recently amended for inclusion of patients with high tumor mutation burden (TMB) only. Patients are pre-screened for TMB by WES at the time of first diagnosis. After progression on platinum-based therapy, 4 cycles of nivolumab 1 mg/kg q3w in combination with ipilimumab 3 mg/kg q3w and subsequent nivolumab 240 mg flat dose as monotherapy are given. Primary endpoint is overall response rate (ORR) of the upfront combination therapy. Analysis of sequential tumor biopsies, blood and gut microbiome is performed at different timepoints. Results: The SCLC cohort was amended to include TMB high patients only, after two treatment-related deaths had occurred and emerging data indicated treatment benefit depends on high TMB status for the combination therapy. Both patients with treatment-related death had a CT-scan documented partial response (not confirmed according to RECIST due to death). One each died of pneumonitis and encephalitis. From the all-comer cohort, efficacy data are available for 18 patients. ORR was 38.8% with 7 partial and no complete responses. Stable disease occurred in 16.7% (n = 3) resulting in a DCR of 55.5%. TMB pre-screening for the amended cohort is currently ongoing. Conclusions: In the SCLC cohort, upfront combination therapy of nivolumab and ipilimumab shows remarkable ORR but is accompanied by high toxicity rates. In order to ensure a reasonable balance of risks and treatment benefit, only TMB high patients are included after an amendment of the cohort to improve the risk/benefit ratio. Clinical trial information: NCT03083691.

    Abstract: Despite undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT), patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with internal tandem duplication mutation in the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 gene ( FLT3-ITD) have a poor prognosis, frequently relapse, and die as a result of AML. It is currently unknown whether a maintenance therapy using FLT3 inhibitors, such as the multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib, improves outcome after HCT. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase II trial (SORMAIN; German Clinical Trials Register: DRKS00000591), 83 adult patients with FLT3-ITD–positive AML in complete hematologic remission after HCT were randomly assigned to receive for 24 months either the multitargeted and FLT3-kinase inhibitor sorafenib (n = 43) or placebo (n = 40 placebo). Relapse-free survival (RFS) was the primary endpoint of this trial. Relapse was defined as relapse or death, whatever occurred first. RESULTS With a median follow-up of 41.8 months, the hazard ratio (HR) for relapse or death in the sorafenib group versus placebo group was 0.39 (95% CI, 0.18 to 0.85; log-rank P = .013). The 24-month RFS probability was 53.3% (95% CI, 0.36 to 0.68) with placebo versus 85.0% (95% CI, 0.70 to 0.93) with sorafenib (HR, 0.256; 95% CI, 0.10 to 0.65; log-rank P = .002). Exploratory data show that patients with undetectable minimal residual disease (MRD) before HCT and those with detectable MRD after HCT derive the strongest benefit from sorafenib. CONCLUSION Sorafenib maintenance therapy reduces the risk of relapse and death after HCT for FLT3-ITD–positive AML.

    Abstract: Blinatumomab is a CD19/CD3 BiTE (bispecific T-cell engager) antibody construct for the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome–negative acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia. We evaluated blinatumomab in relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Patients and Methods This 3 + 3 design, phase I dose-escalation study determined adverse events and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of continuous intravenous infusion blinatumomab in patients with relapsed/refractory NHL. Blinatumomab was administered over 4 or 8 weeks at seven different dose levels (0.5 to 90 μg/m 2 /day). End points were incidence of adverse events, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and overall response rate. Results Between 2004 and 2011, 76 heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory NHL, who included 14 with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, were enrolled; 42 received treatment in the formal dose-escalation phase. Neurologic events were dose limiting, and 60 μg/m 2 /day was established as the MTD. Thirty-four additional patients were recruited to evaluate antilymphoma activity and strategies for mitigating neurologic events at a prespecified MTD. Stepwise dosing (5 to 60 μg/m 2 /day) plus pentosan polysulfate SP54 (n = 3) resulted in no treatment discontinuations; single-step (n = 5) and double-step (n = 24) dosing entailed two and seven treatment discontinuations due to neurologic events, respectively. Grade 3 neurologic events occurred in 22% of patients (no grade 4/5). Among patients treated at 60 μg/m 2 /day (target dose; n = 35), the overall response rate was 69% across NHL subtypes and 55% for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n = 11); median response duration was 404 days (95% CI, 207 to 1,129 days). Conclusion In this phase I study of relapsed/refractory NHL, continuous infusion with CD19-targeted immunotherapy blinatumomab at various doses and schedules was feasible, with an MTD of 60 μg/m 2 /day. Single-agent blinatumomab showed antilymphoma activity.

    Abstract: To compare progression-free survival between single and tandem high-dose chemotherapy (HDT) followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation in chemotherapy-sensitive metastatic breast cancer patients. Patients and Methods Between February 1997 and June 2001, 187 patients with complete and partial remission were randomly assigned to receive either one or two cycles of HDT, consisting of thiotepa (125 mg/m 2 /d for 4 days), cyclophosphamide (1,500 mg/m 2 /d for 4 days), and carboplatin (200 mg/m 2 /d for 4 days), followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation. Results One hundred seventy one of 187 randomly assigned patients completed first HDT, but only 52 of 85 completed the second HDT cycle in the tandem HDT arm. The rate of complete remission on an intent-to-treat-basis was 33% in the single-dose HDT arm and 37% in the tandem HDT arm (P = .48). The median progression-free survival times in single and tandem HDT arms were 9.4 and 11.2 months, respectively (one-sided P = .06; two one-sided P = .12), whereas median overall survival time tended to be greater after single versus tandem HDT (29 v 23.5 months, respectively; P = .4). In a multivariate analysis for progression-free survival, tandem HDT (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.71; 95% CI, 0.52 to 0.98; P = .03) and achievement of complete remission after induction chemotherapy (HR = 0.59; 95% CI, 0.37 to 0.96; P = .03) were factors for a better progression-free survival, whereas the factor of three or more sites of metastases (HR = 1.66; 95% CI, 1.12 to 2.47; P = .01) was associated with a worse progression-free survival. Conclusion Despite a trend of improved progression-free survival, tandem HDT cannot be recommended for patients with chemotherapy-sensitive metastatic breast cancer because of a trend for shorter overall survival and higher toxicity compared with single HDT.
