    Abstract: 9555 Background: For the treatment of advanced BRAF V600 -mutated melanoma, targeted therapy (BRAF/MEK-inhibition) is a standard of care. Encorafenib + binimetinib (EB) were approved in the EU in Sep 2018 and in Switzerland in Nov 2019, based on positive results from COLUMBUS (NCT01909453), with a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 14.9 mo (4-year PFS: 26%) and overall survival (OS) of 33.6 mo (4-year OS: 39%). As data from controlled trials are based on selected populations, BERING MELANOMA investigates the use of EB under real-world conditions in a broader population. Methods: BERING MELANOMA is an ongoing, multi-national, multi-center, prospective, longitudinal, non-interventional study. It analyzes the effectiveness, quality of life and tolerability of EB-treatment under real-world conditions (primary endpoint: 1-year PFS-rate), focusing on the first- (1L) and second-line setting and including an evaluation of the impact of prognostic factors. The project aims to enroll up to 750 patients (pts) in a total of 80 German, Austrian and Swiss sites with a study duration of 8 yrs. So far, from Oct 2019 to Jan 2021, 153 pts have been included. Pts with prior BRAF-/MEK-inhibition (except adjuvant use completed 〉 6 mo) and 〉 1 prior treatment line were excluded. Results: Here we present the first planned interim analysis based on the initial 100 enrolled pts (91 treated / 89 evaluable; median follow-up: 8.1 mo). This analysis set shows a median age of 63.0 yrs (range 29.0-88.0), 52% of pts were female. 81% presented with distant metastases (brain: 31%), with an involvement of ≥3 organ systems in 51% and an elevated LDH in 42%. 54% of pts underwent prior systemic therapy (adjuvant: 28%; 1L: 24%, with ipilimumab + nivolumab as main 1L-treatment: 52%). EB was mainly administered in the 1L-setting (65%). Main reasons for EB-selection were: physician's preference (37%), efficacy (34%), quality of life (21%). Median estimated EB treatment duration was 12.7 mo (95%CI 8.3-NE), median relative dose intensity was 100% for both drugs. Treatment adaptations were required in 34% of pts. Adverse events (AE) were reported in 76% of pts (grade 3/4: 26%). Main AE (≥10%, all grades) were: nausea (18%), diarrhea (17%), CK increase (15%), fatigue (11%), gamma-GT increase (11%). No fatal toxicities were observed. Conclusions: This first interim analysis of BERING MELANOMA shows an investigation of EB in a real-world population with advanced disease. Despite the poorer prognosis configuration as compared to the pivotal study, the observed treatment duration and tolerability profile are largely consistent with data derived from COLUMBUS without any new safety signals. The second interim analysis will be performed after enrollment of 200 pts and will include an initial analysis of effectiveness data. Clinical trial information: NCT04045691.

    Abstract: High tumor mutational burden (TMB) is associated with a favorable outcome in metastatic melanoma patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, data are limited in the adjuvant setting. As BRAF mutated patients have an alternative with targeted adjuvant therapy, it is important to identify predictive factors for relapse and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients receiving adjuvant anti-PD-1 antibodies. Methods We evaluated 165 melanoma patients who started adjuvant anti-PD-1 antibody therapy at our center between March 2018 and September 2019. The initial tumor stage was assessed at the beginning of therapy according to the 8th edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual. Tumor and normal tissue of the high-risk stages IIIC/D/IV were sequenced using a 700 gene NGS panel. Results The tumor stages at the beginning of adjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy were as follows: N  = 80 stage IIIA/B (48%), N  = 85 stage IIIC/D/IV (52%). 72/165 patients (44%) suffered a relapse, 44/72 (61%) with only loco regional and 28/72 (39%) with distant metastases. Sequencing results were available from 83 to 85 patients with stage IIIC/D/IV. BRAF mutation status (HR 2.12, 95% CI 1.12–4.08; p  = 0.022) and TMB (HR 7.11, 95% CI 2.19–23.11; p  = 0.001) were significant and independent predictive factors for relapse-free survival (RFS). Conclusion BRAF mutation status and TMB were independent predictive factors for RFS. Patients with BRAF V600E/K mutation and TMB high had the best outcome. A classification based on BRAF mutation status and TMB is proposed to predict RFS in melanoma patients with adjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy.

    Abstract: 9514 Background: There is limited data about the impact of melanoma on the psychological burden of patients. Despite some known predictors for distress like female gender or younger age, melanoma stages have not been found being related to distress in melanoma patients and there is no data concerning distress in melanoma patients under systemic treatment for metastases. Methods: Between July and September 2016, 820 melanoma patients at the outpatient clinic at the Department of Dermatology at the University of Tuebingen underwent psycho-oncological screening. The patients routinely completed the distress thermometer (DT), supplemented by a problem list, before consulting the physician. DT scores ≥ 5 are above-threshold, indicating the need for psycho-oncological support. We matched psycho-oncological data with tumor and patient specific data to examine tumor or patient specific influence on distress using logistic regression. Results: 406 (49.5%) men and 414 (50.5%) women were included, mean age was 62.35 years (IQR 52-75), mean time since primary diagnosis of melanoma was 54.84 months (IQR 15-76). 359 (44%) of the patients suffered from advanced melanoma (stage III n = 182, stage IV n = 177). 120 patients (14.6%) received systemic treatment for metastases: 90/120 (75%) checkpoint inhibitors, 27/120 (22.5%) targeted therapy and 3/120 (2.5%) chemotherapy. 338/820 (41.2%) of the patients met the cut-off score for distress. Significant influencing factors (p 〈 0.05) for DT values of ≥ 5 were: female gender, younger age, melanoma stage III and IV. Interestingly we found a lower risk for values above-threshold for patients under systemic treatment, although this was not significant (p = 0.252). Conclusions: This is the first analysis to demonstrate the impact of advanced melanoma stages on DT scores above-threshold. Our study is also the first to indicate a lower risk for distress in patients under systemic treatment. This might be due to the closer contact between these patients and their physicians. Nevertheless, more than 40% of our patients needed psycho-oncological support. Departments that care for melanoma patients should therefore be fitted by a sufficient number of psycho-oncologists.

    Abstract: e21566 Background: Since 2018, adjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have been available for patients with resected stage III/IV melanoma. The Checkmate 238 and Keynote 054 studies showed a survival benefit in patients receiving adjuvant ICI. However, there is no validated biomarker to identify patients at high risk of relapse, despite receiving adjuvant therapy. Here we investigated resistance patterns to immune checkpoint inhibition in the adjuvant setting. Methods: In this cohort study, a discovery cohort of 30 patients from the Department of Dermatology, University Hospital Zürich, was used to evaluate resistance patterns to adjuvant ICI. A second cohort of 107 patients from the Department of Dermatology, University Hospital Tuebingen, was used to validate the findings. We measured epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression in primary tumor and metastatic tissue by immunohistochemistry and digital pathology using QuPath. The primary endpoint was relapse-free survival. Results: We included 137 patients with melanoma receiving adjuvant ICI: 63 (46%) were females, and 52 (38%) patients harbored a BRAFV600 mutation. The median follow-up was 45 and 39 months in the Zürich and Tuebingen cohorts, respectively (95% confidence interval (CI) 41.8-48.2 and 36.8-41.2, respectively). The two cohorts were homogenous in terms of patients' and tumor characteristics, except for the relapse rate, which was significantly higher in the Tuebingen cohort ( p 〈 0.002). 71 (52%) therapy naïve in transit or lymph node metastasis and 23 (17%) primary tumors were available to evaluate EGFR expression by immunohistochemistry and digital pathology using QuPath. Surprisingly, in both cohorts, patients with high EGFR expression in metastatic tissue had a significantly higher relapse rate than patients with low EGFR expression ( p= 0.0004 and p= 0.0168 for the Zürich and Tuebingen cohorts, respectively). EGFR expression in primary tumors did not correlate with relapse-free survival ( p= 0.7286). Next-generation sequencing revealed that EGFR expression assessed by immunohistochemistry was not associated with the presence of EGFR mutations and/or amplifications. Conclusions: Currently, there are no validated biomarkers to identify patients with melanoma at high risk of recurrence, despite receiving adjuvant ICI. We found in two independent cohorts that EGFR expression in therapy naive metastatic tissue is positively associated with relapse in patients receiving adjuvant ICI. Our data identified EGFR as a prognostic biomarker that can easily be assessed by immunohistochemistry, allowing us to stratify patients for adjuvant ICI therapy according to their risk of relapse. Stratification according to EGFR expression should be considered in future clinical trials in the adjuvant setting.

    Abstract: 9528 Background: Preclinical models support the combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) with targeted therapy (TT), suggesting a synergistic effect; however, clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of triplet combination in first-line setting showed limited advantage compared to TT only. Early data from the phase II TRIDeNT (NCT02910700) study showed promising clinical activity in anti-PD1 refractory pts. We sought to evaluate the efficacy of combined TT plus anti-PD1 after the failure of standard therapy in pts with advanced melanoma. Methods: This retrospective, multicenter study included pts with advanced melanoma who were treated with a BRAF inhibitor and a MEK inhibitor in combination with a PD1 inhibitor after failure of a minimum of one standard therapy in seven major melanoma centers between February 2016 and July 2022. Demographics, disease characteristics, therapy details, and outcome data were evaluated. Results: 59 pts were identified; med age was 48 yrs (range, 24-80), 32 pts (54.2%) were males, 20 pts (33.9%) had ECOG PS 1, 46 pts (78%) had 3 or more metastatic sites, 40 pts (67.8%) had brain metastases, and 25 (42.2%) had LDH levels above the upper limit of normal before initiation of triple therapy. Median follow-up time was 16.2 months (IQR, 6.02-20.81). Median number of previous treatment lines was 2 (range, 1-6); 40 pts (67.8%) were pretreated with at least one line of ICI and TT in any sequence. Of 55 pts who received ICI (n = 41 CTLA4 plus PD1; n = 9 PD1 mono; n = 2 CTLA4 mono; n = 3 PD1-based therapy) prior to triplet therapy, 44 pts (80%) were primary resistant (progressive disease (PD); stable disease (SD) for 〈 6 months), and 11 pts (20%) secondary resistant (complete response (CR), partial response (PR), SD for 〉 6 months) to the ICI therapy. Treatment with triplet therapy resulted in an overall response rate (ORR) of 44.1% (n = 26) and a disease control rate (DCR) of 55.9% (n = 33) with a median duration of response of 13.7 months (range, 5.4-33.2). Median PFS for the entire cohort was 6 months (95% CI, 3.88-8.08), with a 12-month PFS of 29.4% (95% CI, 17.8-42.1) and a 24-month PFS of 20.2% (95% CI, 11.0-32.8). Median OS was 15.7 months (95% CI, 8.1-23.3 months), with a 12-month OS of 52.7% (95% CI, 39.1-65.7) and a 24-month OS of 43.2% (95% CI, 29.6-55.9). Pts with extracerebral PD prior to triplet therapy (40.7%, n = 24) showed an ORR of 50%, pts with intracerebral PD (32.2%, n = 19) of 47.4%, and pts with global PD (27.1%, N = 16) of 31.3%. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) of grade ≥3 occurred in 17 of 59 pts (28.8%), of which cytokine release syndrome (n = 7) and hepatitis (n = 3) were the most common. In 16.9% (n = 10) of pts, TRAEs led to treatment discontinuation. Conclusions: Triple therapy has shown promising efficacy in heavily pretreated pts with advanced melanoma and may represent a treatment option after failure of standard therapy with ICI and TT.

    Abstract: e21591 Background: Adjuvant therapy for melanoma patients (pts) is now available for pts from stage IIB onwards. Pts with cutaneous melanoma in early stages stage IB/IIA have low risk of relapse. However, this group still contributes to the most melanoma deaths in absolute numbers. Therefore, it is important to identify pts in stage IB/IIA that could benefit from adjuvant therapy. One promising biomarker is a proprietary 7-protein immunohistochemistry (7-P-IHC) signature (Immunoprint). Based on primary tumor tissue analysis, the 7-P-IHC has shown very high sensitivity and risk enhancement ability in previous prospective and retrospective validations. 1,2 The 7-P-IHC test result indicates a risk score predicting relapse-free and melanoma-free survival (RFS, MSS), thereby allocating most relapses to the high score risk group. To further validate its key parameters, the MelaRisk trial was started in 2022, aiming to analyze up to 500 tissue samples with Immunoprint. Here we present its interim analysis and a combined analysis of all available data for Immunoprint in stage IB/IIA. Methods: All pts with available formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks of the Central German Melanoma Registry diagnosed from 2005-16 and AJCC v8 stage IB/IIA were screened. Tumor tissue samples from 119 pts (83/IB; 36/IIA) were available; the 7-P-IHC was used to determine a risk group. Results: 7-P-IHC assigned 68 pts to the low-risk (57%) and 51 (43%) to the high-risk group. Median follow-up was 76 months. 15/17 relapses after 5-years were detected, resulting in a sensitivity of 88%. 5-years RFS event rate of the cohort according to AJCC v8 was 12% and 19% for stages IB and IIA, respectively. This was enhanced to a risk of recurrence of 30% (stage IB) and 29% (stage IIA) in the respective high score group. 5y-RFS rate was 97% for pts with 7-P-IHC low score risk and 71% for pts with 7-P-IHC high score risk (p=0.0001). 7-P-IHC was the only significant factor in a multivariate Cox analysis for RFS (HR 10.78 (2.38-48.74), p=0.002) and could detect 4/5 MSS events. Combined analysis including these and previous Immunoprint results in stage IB/IIA are summarized in the table. Conclusions: 7-P-IHC could concentrate 88% of stage IB/IIA RFS events in a small high score risk group. This group entails 43% of pts of the total cohort, correctly identifying pts needing adjuvant therapy. Immunoprint should be used to select pts in future studies in the adjuvant setting if these promising interim results can be confirmed in the final analysis. 1. Meyer et al. (2023) EJC; 2.
