    Abstract: e18740 Background: HHIs are the only approved 1L systemic Tx for aBCC and Tx options following HHI Tx failure are limited. The objective of this study was to assess frequency, characteristics, and subsequent Tx patterns of pts with aBCC discontinuing 1L HHIs due to toxicity or disease progression. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using electronic health records of pts treated in The US Oncology Network (Network), a community-based network of 〉 450 oncology clinics. We identified adults (18+ years) with aBCC, not treated for another primary malignancy in the past 3 years, with ≥2 Network visits who discontinued 1L HHI monotherapy between January 2012 and November 2019 due to documented toxicity or progression without evidence of complete response (CR) who subsequently initiated second-line (2L) systemic Tx (2L initiators) or not (2L non-initiators). To exclude pts potentially using neoadjuvant HHIs, we required 2L non-initiators to be followed for ≥90 days after HHI discontinuation and excluded pts who underwent surgery or radiation during this period. Index date was Tx initiation for 2L initiators and 90 days after HHI discontinuation for 2L non-initiators. We describe cohort attrition and characteristics of 2L initiators and 2L non-initiators as well as Txs initiated among 2L initiators. Results: We identified 138 aBCC pts treated with HHIs regardless of line of therapy with fully accessible charts: 115/138 (83.3%) received HHIs as 1L systemic therapy for aBCC; 73/115 (63.5%) discontinued 1L HHIs; 37/73 (50.7%) discontinued due to documented toxicity or progression without evidence of CR. 4/37 pts (10.8%) initiated 2L systemic Tx (1 carboplatin & paclitaxel; 1 cemiplimab; 1 nivolumab; 1 pembrolizumab) within a median of 75 days (range: 2‒130) from HHI discontinuation. 2L initiators were 68.7 years of median age (range: 48.4‒71.1); 100% female; 75% White; 75% immunocompetent; 100% treated with 1L vismodegib for a median of 8.6 months (range: 6.8‒42.2); 100% discontinued 1L HHIs due to documented disease progression. We identified 15 2L non-initiators; median age 80.2 years (range: 49.6‒90+); 20% female; 100% White; 86.7% immunocompetent; 100% treated with 1L vismodegib for a median of 6.8 months (range: 1.9‒20.6); 93.3% discontinued 1L HHIs due to documented toxicity and 6.7% due to progression. Conclusions: In this small cohort of aBCC pts discontinuing 1L HHIs, ̃50% discontinued due to toxicity or disease progression. There was no clear standard of care among pts who experienced HHI Tx failure, with only a minority initiating subsequent 2L Tx. Effective Tx strategies for pts who do not respond to or cannot tolerate HHIs are needed.

    Abstract: e22029 Background: MCC is a rare, aggressive disease associated with poor prognosis. Avelumab, a fully human anti–PD-L1 monoclonal antibody, was the first immune checkpoint inhibitor approved by the FDA for the treatment of metastatic MCC (mMCC). In the JAVELIN Merkel 200 trial (Clinical trial information: NCT02155647), avelumab resulted in durable responses and a high objective response rate (ORR) in pts with mMCC. This retrospective descriptive study assessed real-world clinical outcomes in avelumab-treated pts with locally advanced MCC (laMCC) and mMCC in a US community oncology setting. Methods: This study included data on avelumab-treated laMCC and mMCC pts from 1/1/17 to 3/31/19 within The US Oncology Network. Study data were captured through 9/30/19 using structured fields and chart review of iKnowMed electronic healthcare records. Real-world ORR was assessed. Duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: 33 pts initiated treatment with avelumab (laMCC n = 11; mMCC n = 22) and were followed up for a median of 10.9 months (range, 0.5-27.2 months). Median age was 77 years (range, 44-90+ years), 78.8% of pts were male, and the majority (84.8%) of pts were treated in the first-line setting. During treatment, 27.2% of pts had emergency department visits and 39.4% were hospitalized; 1% and 23.1%, respectively, were treatment related. Clinical outcomes are reported in the table. Conclusions: This is the first study to examine pts with laMCC treated with avelumab in a real-world setting. Although the sample population is small, results suggest the clinical benefits in the real world in pts with mMCC treated with avelumab are consistent with benefits reported in the JAVELIN Merkel 200 trial. Clinical trial information: NCT02155647 . [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 4563 Background: BNC105P is an inhibitor of tubulin polymerization. In vivo exposure to BNC105P leads to selective damage of tumor vasculature in both primary and metastatic lesions, causing disruption of blood flow to tumors, hypoxia and associated tumor necrosis. BNC105P also has a direct anti-proliferative action on cancer cells. Up regulation of the mTOR pathway has been identified as a cellular response to hypoxic stress. The combined use of BNC105P with an agent active against mTOR may improve clinical outcome in patients with progressive mRCC who are refractory to VEGFR-directed tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). Methods: A phase I/II study in mRCC patients who have received 1-2 prior TKIs was undertaken. The phase I component enrolled 12 subjects at 4 dose levels of BNC105P (4.2, 8.4, 12.6, 16 mg/m 2 ; IV infusion Days 1 & 8, 21-day repeating cycle). Everolimus was administered concurrently (10 mg p.o.). PK analysis was performed during Cycle 1. Biomarker samples (pre- and post-dose during Cycle 1) were analyzed for 70 plasma analytes including VEGF, PDGF and other markers associated with angiogenesis and vascular responses. Results: Updated results from the completed phase I component confirm the BNC105P / everolimus combination was well tolerated. No DLTs (drug-related, during cycle 1) were observed in any of the phase I subjects. Toxicities on study deemed to be drug-related (either single agent or combination) included single Grade 3 events of anemia and pericardial effusion. Grade 2 events of fatigue, anemia and oral mucositis were also observed. Eight of the 12 phase I subjects achieved disease stabilization. Across all subjects a median of 6 cycles (range: 1-24) was administered, with removal from study predominantly due to disease progression. PK analysis confirmed no drug-drug interaction. The randomized phase II component of the study continues and will compare everolimus given concomitantly with BNC105P to a sequential approach (everolimus followed by BNC105P). Conclusions: Full dose BNC105P (16 mg/m 2 ) can be combined with full dose everolimus (10 mg) and is being further evaluated in a randomized phase II study. Clinical trial information: NCT01034631.

    Abstract: 9522 Background: Durable clinical benefit has been achieved with nivolumab (NIVO) + ipilimumab (IPI), including an overall survival (OS) of 49% and a melanoma-specific survival (MSS) of 56%, with median MSS not reached (NR) at 6.5-y minimum follow-up. Here we report sustained efficacy outcomes at 7.5 y. Methods: Patients (pts) with previously untreated, unresectable stage III/IV melanoma were randomly assigned 1:1:1 and stratified by PD-L1 status, BRAF mutation status, and metastasis stage to receive NIVO 1 mg/kg + IPI 3 mg/kg for 4 doses Q3W, followed by NIVO 3 mg/kg Q2W (n = 314); NIVO 3 mg/kg Q2W + placebo (n = 316); or IPI 3 mg/kg Q3W for 4 doses + placebo (n = 315) until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Co-primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and OS with NIVO + IPI or NIVO alone versus IPI. Results: With a minimum follow-up of 7.5 y, median OS remained stable at 72.1 mo (NIVO + IPI), 36.9 mo (NIVO), and 19.9 mo (IPI); median MSS was NR, 49.4 mo, and 21.9 mo, respectively (Table). While the objective response rate remained stable at 58% (NIVO + IPI), 45% (NIVO), and 19% (IPI), median duration of response had now been reached for NIVO at 90.8 mo and remains NR and 19.2 mo for NIVO + IPI and IPI, respectively. Subsequent systemic therapy was received by 36%, 49%, and 66% of NIVO + IPI-, NIVO-, and IPI-treated patients, respectively, and median time to that therapy was NR (95% CI, 45.9–NR), 24.7 mo (16.0–38.7), and 8.0 mo (6.5–8.7). Of patients alive at 7.5 y, 106/138 (77%, NIVO + IPI), 80/115 (70%, NIVO), and 27/60 (45%, IPI) were off treatment and had never received subsequent systemic therapy. No change to the safety summary was observed with additional follow-up; updated health-related quality of life data will be reported. Of the 10 new deaths since the 6.5-y follow-up (ie, 5 NIVO + IPI; 3 NIVO; 2 IPI), none were treatment-related; 4 were due to melanoma progression; 1 was due to an unknown cause; and 5 were due to other causes, but not associated with a COVID diagnosis. Conclusions: The 7.5-y follow-up continues to demonstrate the durability of responses with NIVO + IPI and an ongoing survival plateau. A substantial difference in median OS and MSS between patients treated with NIVO + IPI or NIVO was observed in descriptive analyses. Clinical trial information: NCT04540705. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 8567 Background: Vemurafenib (vem) has been FDA approved for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic BRAF V600E mutated melanoma since August 2011 based on results of a randomized phase III study (treatment-naive) and a single arm phase II study (previously treated). We report results of an expanded access study that allowed appropriate patients (pts) to receive vem until the drug was approved. Methods: Eligible pts had metastatic melanoma with a BRAF V600E mutation as detected by the cobas 4800 BRAF V600 Mutation Test. Enrolled pts received oral vem 960 mg b.i.d. Adverse events (AEs) were evaluated for vem-related toxicities; tumor responses were assessed using RECIST 1.1. Results: 29 US sites screened 745 pts and enrolled 374 from December 2010 until October 2011. The following results are based on a median follow up time and treatment duration of 2 months. At baseline, mean age of pts was 54 y with 22% of pts ≥65 y; 75% had stage M1c disease; 29% had received radiotherapy for brain metastases. 19% of pts were ECOG PS 2 or 3; 71% of pts had prior systemic therapy for metastatic melanoma (21% 1 regimen; 50% ≥2 regimens). 50 pts had prior adjuvant treatment. At data cut-off, 243 pts had sufficient follow-up time for tumor assessment. In this group, the unconfirmed overall response rate was 52% (95% CI, 46 to 59). The median time to response was 1.8 months. Based on 240 pts with available ECOG PS status at time of analysis, response rate was 53% for pts with ECOG PS 0 or 1 (n=209), and 45% for pts with ECOG PS 2 or 3 (n=31). 370 pts were evaluable for safety analysis. The most common vem-related AEs were rash (36%), arthralgia (33%) and fatigue (21%) with the majority (~90%) of grade 1 or 2. 25 vem-related serious AEs were reported in 5.4% of pts with a slightly higher rate of pts with ECOG PS 2 or 3 (8.7%) compared to ECOG PS 0 or 1 (4.7%). 18% of pts missed at least one dose and 11% of pts required dose reduction of at least one level due to AEs. Conclusions: This expanded access study, with its limited follow-up time, confirms the established rapid and high tumor response rate with vem. No new safety signals were detected. Compared to the overall population, pts with an ECOG PS 2 or 3 demonstrated a similar benefit.

    Abstract: Lay abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive skin cancer. Because MCC progresses quickly, many patients have a poor prognosis. Avelumab is a type of drug that helps the patient's immune system to fight cancer. Avelumab was the first such drug approved by the US FDA for treating metastatic MCC based on the results of the JAVELIN Merkel 200 clinical trial. In SPEAR-Merkel, we studied how MCC patients with locally advanced as well as metastatic disease responded when they were treated with first-line avelumab in a real-world setting. These patients were from oncology practices in communities throughout the USA. Overall response rates in SPEAR-Merkel were comparable between patients with locally advanced and metastatic MCC. Importantly, we found that these patients experienced survival benefit similar to patients in the JAVELIN Merkel 200 (part B) study and other real-world studies.

    Abstract: In the phase III CheckMate 238 study, adjuvant nivolumab significantly improved recurrence-free survival (RFS) and distant metastasis-free survival versus ipilimumab in patients with resected stage IIIB–C or stage IV melanoma, with benefit sustained at 4 years. We report updated 5-year efficacy and biomarker findings. Patients and Methods: Patients with resected stage IIIB–C/IV melanoma were stratified by stage and baseline programmed death cell ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and received nivolumab 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks or ipilimumab 10 mg/kg every 3 weeks for four doses and then every 12 weeks, both intravenously for 1 year until disease recurrence, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoint was RFS. Results: At a minimum follow-up of 62 months, RFS with nivolumab remained superior to ipilimumab (HR = 0.72; 95% confidence interval, 0.60–0.86; 5-year rates of 50% vs. 39%). Five-year distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rates were 58% with nivolumab versus 51% with ipilimumab. Five-year overall survival (OS) rates were 76% with nivolumab and 72% with ipilimumab (75% data maturity: 228 of 302 planned events). Higher levels of tumor mutational burden (TMB), tumor PD-L1, intratumoral CD8+ T cells and IFNγ-associated gene expression signature, and lower levels of peripheral serum C-reactive protein were associated with improved RFS and OS with both nivolumab and ipilimumab, albeit with limited clinically meaningful predictive value. Conclusions: Nivolumab is a proven adjuvant treatment for resected melanoma at high risk of recurrence, with sustained, long-term improvement in RFS and DMFS compared with ipilimumab and high OS rates. Identification of additional biomarkers is needed to better predict treatment outcome. See related commentary by Augustin and Luke, p. 3253

    Abstract: 4603 Background: BNC105P is an investigational agent that destabilizes tubulin polymers leading to selective damage of tumor vasculature, causing disruption of blood flow to tumors, hypoxia and associated tumor necrosis. BNC105P also has a direct anti-proliferative action on cancer cells. Preclinical investigations have demonstrated that BNC105P is effective at selectively damaging the vasculature in both primary and metastatic lesions. Up regulation of the mTOR pathway has been identified as a survival response by the tumor to hypoxic insult. It follows that the combined use of BNC105P with an agent active against mTOR may improve clinical outcome in patients with progressive mRCC who are refractory to VEGFR-directed tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). Methods: A phase I/II study in mRCC patients who have received 1-2 prior TKIs was undertaken. Using a classic 3+3 design, the phase I component of this study enrolled 12 subjects at 4 dose levels of BNC105P (4.2, 8.4, 12.6, 16 mg/m 2 ; IV infusion Days 1 and 8, 21-day repeating cycle). Everolimus was administered concurrently (10 mg p.o.). PK analysis was performed during Cycle 1. Results: The phase I component has been completed. The BNC105P / everolimus combination was well tolerated. No DLTs (drug-related, during cycle 1) were observed in any of the phase I subjects. Toxicities on study deemed to be drug-related (either single agent or combination) included single grade 3 events of anemia and pericardial effusion. Grade 2 events (more than 1 occurrence) of fatigue, anemia and oral mucositis were also observed. Seven phase I subjects achieved at least disease stabilization with a minimum time on therapy of 18 weeks (6 cycles). Across all subjects a median of 6 cycles (range: 1-15) was administered. PK analysis confirmed no drug-drug interaction. The randomized phase II component of the study continues and will compare everolimus given in combination with BNC105P to a sequential approach (everolimus followed by BNC105P). Conclusions: The MTD of BNC105P (16 mg/m 2 ) can be combined with full dose everolimus and is being evaluated in the randomized phase II study.
