12007 Background: YAs with cancer, defined as those diagnosed prior to the age of 40, may experience greater symptom burden compared to those diagnosed at older ages. We evaluated the impact of an ePROM-triggered, CC-based, supportive care intervention on symptom burden in YAs with cancer. Methods: The Enhanced, Electronic Health Record-facilitated Cancer Symptom Control (E2C2) trial was a cluster-randomized, pragmatic trial (NCT03892967) that enrolled oncology patients seen at Mayo Clinic Rochester and within the Mayo Clinic Health System (sites in Minnesota and Wisconsin) between March 2019 and January 2023. Patients routinely reported the severity of six SPPADE symptoms (Sleep deficit, Pain, Physical function impairment, Anxiety, Depression, and Energy deficit/fatigue) on 11-point numerical rating scales. Symptom severity was classified as none to mild (0-3), moderate (4-6), or severe (7-10). Those with moderate or severe symptoms were offered symptom management education, while those with severe symptoms were also offered the option to work virtually with a symptom care manager. In this post hoc analysis, we examined the effects of the intervention on change in symptom scores among YAs and time to improvement to a mild/moderate level in those with at least one severe symptom. Results: Among 40,659 patients who responded to at least one survey, 2,598 were YAs and 38,061 were adults ≥ 40 years. Among YAs, 10.7%, 24.3%, and 65.1% were 18-24 years, 25-31 years, and 32-39 years, respectively. A greater proportion of YA patients were female (61.5% vs 57.0%), of a non-white race (12.4% vs 5.3%), living in an urban setting (65.7% vs 55.1%), single (36.4% vs 9.6%), on non-government insurance (78.1% vs 36.6%), employed (72.6% vs 37.4%), and had a Bachelor’s degree or greater (37.8% vs 28.3%, p < 0.001 for all). Fewer YA patients had metastatic disease compared to older patients (24.2% vs 35.2%, p < 0.001). Compared to a pre-intervention baseline, the mean change in symptom score for YA patients following the intervention demonstrated improvements in anxiety (-0.195) and depression (-0.168, p < 0.0001 for both), while physical function impairment worsened over the intervention period (0.101, p = 0.014). Compared to adults ≥ 40 years, YAs experienced greater intervention effects for management of depression ( p < 0.001), fatigue ( p = 0.01), pain ( p < 0.0001), and physical function impairment ( p < 0.0001). Among YAs with a severe symptom during the intervention period, median time to improvement to a mild/moderate level was longer for anxiety compared to those ≥ 40 years (3.5 vs 2.7 months, p = 0.009). Conclusions: Routine ePROM surveillance, coupled with CC-based symptom management, led to improvements in anxiety and depression among YAs with cancer, although, time to improvement was longer for anxiety compared to adults ≥ 40 years.

Abstract Background Older adults remain underrepresented in prospective trials of immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer. To estimate pembrolizumab adverse events, we conducted a multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label phase 2 trial of oncologist-choice first-line pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy for older adults with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Methods Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology A171901 enrolled patients aged 70 years and older with stage IV or recurrent lung adenocarcinoma starting oncologist’s choice of first-line pembrolizumab with or without carboplatin and pemetrexed. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients experiencing a solicited grade 3 or greater adverse event within 6 months. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, quality of life, and association of a geriatric assessment toxicity risk score with severe adverse events. Results Among 95 evaluable patients, 43 (45.3%) received pembrolizumab and 52 (54.7%) received pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy. Median age was 77 years (range = 70-92 years); 11.6% had an E Performance Status of 2 or higher. During 6 months of treatment, 25.6% (95% CI = 13.5% to 41.2%) experienced a solicited grade 3 or greater adverse event in the monotherapy group and 42.3% (95% CI = 28.7% to 56.8%) in the combination group. Median overall survival was 16.4 months (95% CI = 10.1 to not estimable) with monotherapy and 29.9 months (95% CI = 16.4 to not estimable) with combination therapy. Quality of life worsened during treatment. The geriatric assessment toxicity risk score was not associated with severe adverse events with pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy. Conclusions Older adults with advanced lung adenocarcinoma receiving pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy had comparable adverse event rates to those in prior registration trials that excluded medically frail patients. These findings can inform shared decision making and support inclusion of older adults in future trials. Clinical Trial NCT04533451 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04533451)

64 Background: The incidence of eoCRC (diagnosed at age <50) is increasing. We have previously shown higher rates of severe anxiety and depression in this group compared to adults diagnosed at age ≥50 (average-onset CRC, aoCRC). We assessed the impact of ePROM collection coupled with a CC-based supportive care intervention on symptom burden in patients with eoCRC. Methods: The Enhanced, EHR-facilitated Cancer Symptom Control (E2C2) trial was a cluster-randomized, pragmatic trial conducted at Mayo Clinic Rochester and within the Mayo Clinic Health System (in Minnesota and Wisconsin) between 2019 and 2023. Enrolled patients serially reported the severity of six SPPADE symptoms (Sleep deficit, Pain, Physical function impairment, Anxiety, Depression, and Energy deficit/fatigue) on 11-point numerical rating scales. Symptom scores were interpreted as none to mild (0-3), moderate (4-6), or severe (7-10). Those with moderate symptoms were offered symptom management education and self-management materials, while those with severe symptoms were offered the option to work with a symptom care manager. In this post hoc analysis we examined the effects of the intervention on change in symptom scores among those with eoCRC, and using the Kaplan-Meier method, the median time to improvement to a mild/moderate level in those with a severe symptom, comparing eoCRC with aoCRC. Results: Among 4,422 patients with CRC, 887 had eoCRC. Forty-six percent of patients were female ( p =0.61), and a greater proportion of eoCRC patients were of a non-white race (11.6% vs 4.7%), lived in an urban setting (65.6% vs 50.5%), had a Bachelor’s degree or higher (36.8% vs 24.4%), were employed (78.5% vs 36.7%), on a non-government insurance plan (83.4% vs 35.3%), single (19.7% vs 11.2%) or married (74.2% vs 67.9%), and had metastatic disease (54.8% vs 46.1%, p <0.0001 for all). Compared to a pre-intervention baseline, the mean change in symptom scores for eoCRC patients following the intervention demonstrated improvements in anxiety (-0.238), depression (-0.134), and fatigue (-0.146, p <0.05 for all). Time to symptom improvement from severe to mild/moderate was longer for anxiety and depression in eoCRC patients compared to aoCRC patients (Table 1). Conclusions: Collection of ePROMs coupled with a CC-based intervention led to improvements in anxiety, depression, and fatigue among eoCRC patients, although time to symptom improvement was longer among eoCRC patients compared to aoCRC patients. Time to improvement of severe symptom (months), median (95% CI). eoCRC aoCRC p -value Sleep 4.2 (3.1-5.8) 3.8 (2.7-5.4) 0.4 Pain 4.1 (3.0-7.5) 3.2 (2.3-5.0) 0.5 Physical function impairment 3.1 (1.9-6.3) 2.8 (2.2-4.2) 0.5 Anxiety 4.3 (3.4-9.1) 2.6 (2.0-3.5) 0.009 Depression 4.3 (2.6-7.5) 2.6 (2.1-3.5) 0.04 Fatigue 4.3 (3.7-9.5) 3.4 (2.7-4.2) 0.06

Abstract Background: Older adults with newly diagnosed ALL treated with conventional chemotherapy have poor survival due to high rates of toxic death and disease relapse. The Alliance A041703 trial (NCT0373981) tested chemotherapy-free treatment with the anti-CD22 antibody-drug conjugate inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) followed by the anti-CD19-CD3 bifunctional T-cell engager blinatumomab (blina) without maintenance in older adults to reduce toxicity and increase efficacy of therapy for this patient (pt) population. We previously reported with 22-month (mo) median follow-up that the study met its primary endpoint with a 1-year (yr) event-free survival (EFS) of 75% (90% confidence interval [CI] 63-89% lower bound exceeding null rate of 10%; JCO 2023 41, 7006). Here we report secondary outcomes with 45-mo median follow-up: 3-yr EFS, 3-yr overall survival (OS), response, and relapse characteristics. Methods: Eligible pts were ≥60 yrs old with newly diagnosed, Ph-negative, CD22-positive (≥20% of blasts) B-cell ALL without planned allogeneic HCT (alloHCT), liver disease, or CNS involvement at enrollment. Induction IA was InO 0.8 mg/m2 day (d) 1, 0.5 mg/m2 d8, d15 IV on a 21d cycle. Pts with adequate cytoreduction (marrow blasts reduced ≥50% or marrow cellularity ≤20%) after IA went to IB if in CR/CRi (InO 0.5 mg/m2 d1, d8, d15 IV; 28d cycle) or IC if no CR/CRi (InO 0.8 mg/m2 on d1 and 0.5 mg/m2 on d8 and d15 IV; 28d cycle). Those without cytoreduction to IA started course II blina. Pts without events in IA/B/C received course II blina continuous IV (9 mcg/d x 7d then 28 mcg/d x 21d; 14d break; 28 mcg/d x28d). Pts with CR/CRi to InO received 2 more 28d cycles of blina; others received 3 more. CNS prophylaxis was methotrexate 15 mg intrathecal x 8 doses. EFS was time from therapy start to failure to achieve CR/CRh/CRi by the end of course II, progression, relapse, or death, whichever occurred first, censored at last follow up. OS was time from registration to death from any cause censored at the last known alive date. Results: The median age of the 33 treated pts was 71 yrs (range 60-84). Eight pts had prior therapy for alternate malignancy in CR for &gt;2 yrs prior to enrollment (6 multiple myeloma, 1 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, 1 breast cancer). Median CD22 expression was 92% (range 21-100%) and 49% had NCCN poor-risk genetics. Five pts underwent alloHCT in first CR/CRi and 2 pts received POMP maintenance after early discontinuation of blina (1 toxicity, 1 physician choice). The CR/CRi rate after InO was 85% (1 early death/refractory, 2 refractory, 2 undetermined due to low marrow cellularity on remission assessment marrow) with CR/CRi rate of 97% by completion of course II blina. With 45 mo median follow-up, the estimated 3-yr EFS was 48% (95% CI 33-70%) with a median EFS of 31 mo (95% CI 17.4-not reached [NR]) and no events after 31 mo. Sixteen events occurred: 12 relapses, 1early death, and 3 deaths in remission (1 encephalopathy, 1 relapse of multiple myeloma, 1 pulmonary complications after alloHCT). No isolated CNS relapse has been reported. Among relapses, 10 had immunophenotyping. Four (40%) were CD19-negative, one of which was also CD22-negative. Among CD19-negative relapses, genetics were hypodiploid (2), Pax5alt (1), and ZNF384-like (1, also CD22-negative). TP53 mutation or loss was observed in 5/12 (42%) relapses. Thirteen pts died. The estimated 3-yr OS was 59% (95% CI 44-79%) with median OS NR (95% CI 32-NR) with no deaths after 36 mo. In univariate analysis, EFS and OS were not impacted by age, gender, genetic risk (NCCN), prior therapy for alternate malignancy, or alloHCT in first remission. EFS was better with higher CD22 expression at diagnosis (≥90% vs &lt;90%, 3-yr EFS 60% vs 25%, P=0.044). EFS and OS were worse for detectable minimal residual disease (MRD) at any timepoint by ASO-PCR. Undetectable MRD after course IA (1 cycle InO induction) was associated with EFS with a 3-yr EFS of 52% vs 0% for detectable MRD (median NR vs 8 mo, hazard ratio [HR] 0.07, P=0.004) and a 3-yr OS of 100% vs 0% for detectable MRD (median NR vs 20 mo, HR 0.00, P=0.0014). Conclusions: Longer follow-up of chemotherapy-free treatment with InO and blina for older pts with newly diagnosed, Ph-negative, CD22-positive, B-cell ALL reveals durable remissions and survival. The A041703 regimen is a compelling option for first-line treatment of this pt population. Support: U10CA180821, U10CA18088; https://acknowledgments.alliancefound.org.

PURPOSE Older patients with ALL receiving conventional chemotherapy have poor survival due to toxic death and relapse. We hypothesized that a chemotherapy-free, targeted regimen using the anti-CD22 antibody-calicheamicin conjugate inotuzumab ozogamicin followed by the bispecific anti-CD19/CD3 T-cell engager blinatumomab would reduce toxic death and yield high rates of prolonged remission and survival. METHODS Eligible patients were age 60 years and older with untreated, Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)–negative, CD22-positive, B-cell ALL. Patients received up to two cycles of inotuzumab ozogamicin followed by four or five cycles of blinatumomab with intrathecal methotrexate CNS prophylaxis. The primary end point was 1-year event-free survival (EFS). RESULTS The 33 eligible patients had a median age of 71 years (range, 60-84) and a median CD22 expression of 92% (range, 21%-100%). Eight (24%) had previous chemotherapy or radiation for other cancers, six for multiple myeloma. The composite complete remission rate was 85% after two cycles of inotuzumab ozogamicin and 97% by the end of two cycles of blinatumomab. At a median follow-up of 30 months, the 1-year EFS and overall survival were 75% (95% CI, 61 to 92) and 85% (95% CI, 73 to 98), respectively. EFS was shorter with lower CD22 expression or detectable measurable residual disease at any time point. CONCLUSION Inotuzumab ozogamicin then blinatumomab without maintenance chemotherapy in older patients with untreated, Ph-negative, CD22-positive, B-cell ALL yields a high remission rate and excellent EFS. Given the lack of standard, safe, and effective therapies in this population, the regimen should be considered a standard treatment option.

This cross-sectional study analyzes patient-reported outcome findings from the Enhanced, Electronic Health Record–Facilitated Cancer Symptom Control (E2C2) trial to investigate level of symptom burden in adolescents and young adults with cancer.

Abstract Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a disease with guarded prognosis with a 5-year overall survival (OS) of 3.1% in patients with metastatic disease. The need for innovative treatments for this lethal disease is paramount. TTFields is a novel treatment modality that employs low intensity, alternating, and intermediate frequency electrical fields that abrogates cancer cell proliferation through different mechanisms. These include inhibition of mitosis, disruption of cancer cell membranes, metabolomic dysregulation of cancer cells, and immunogenic activation of the tumor microenvironment (TME). TTFields are approved in glioblastoma multiforme, non-small cell lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma. The PANOVA trial demonstrated promising efficacy for TTFields plus chemotherapy in patients with PDA. A trial of GCN in patients with PDA demonstrated exceptional efficacy in patients with metastatic disease. Here in, we present our ongoing clinical trial investigating the safety and efficacy of TTFields plus GCN in patients with PDA (NCT04605913). Methods: This a phase I/II trial with an initial safety run-in phase followed by the phase II portion. The primary objective of the trial is to determine the safety (CTCAE v 5.0) of GCN plus TTFields. Secondary objectives include determining the 6-month progression free survival (PFS) rate, overall response rate (ORR, RECIST v1.1), 12-month survival rate, OS, and QOL (EORTC QLQ-C30, version 3.0.2.3). Inclusion criteria include PDA with liver metastasis (patients can have additional sites of metastasis), ECOG 0-1, measurable disease, and ability to operate the Novo TTF-100L (P)/Novo TTF-200T system. Treatment consisted of TTFields (150 kHz 18 hours/day) and GCN (G: 1000 mg/m2, C 30 mg/m2, and N: 150 mg/m2 every 2 weeks, 28 days cycle), followed by a maintenance phase after 6 months (G: 1000 mg/m2 every 2 weeks) plus TTFields until progression. Six patients were to be enrolled in the phase I portion and if ≤1/6 patients experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT, treatment emergent adverse event, or skin toxicity of Gr4), the plan would be to move to a phase II trial enrolling 34 more patients. If 2/6 patients experienced a DLT, 6 patients would be enrolled in dose level -1 (GCN plus TTFields for 9 hours/day followed by the maintenance treatment) and if tolerated the phase II portion would start with dose level -1 regimen. The phase I portion was completed without any DLTs and the trial is currently enrolling to the phase II portion. The total number of patients (40) was powered to the 6-months PFS rate and ORR (estimated using the lower bound of exact one-sided 90% confidence intervals). The goal is to "reject" a 6-month PFS rate of 66% and an ORR of 71% (based on previous GCN trial). Time-to-event endpoints will be assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Citation Format: Hani M.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a rare but aggressive cancer with limited curative options outside of surgical resection. Trans-arterial radioembolization (TARE) with yttrium-90 is a promising treatment with retrospective data showing an overall survival (OS) of up to 30 months. The single arm prospective MISHPEC trial combined TARE with gemcitabine and cisplatin showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 39% at 3 months along with a median OS of 22 months. PDL1 inhibitor (Durvalumab) has shown modest benefit in addition to chemotherapy in unresectable cholangiocarcinoma with three-year OS of 15% based on the TOPAZ-1 trial. ICC is a biologically cold tumor; preclinical data indicates that Yttrium-90 TARE can alter tumor microenvironment making it conducive to effector T cell recruitment and function leading to enhanced efficacy of immunotherapy. This provides the biological rationale of combining yittrium-90 TARE with systemic immunotherapy involving dual PDL1 and CTLA-4 inhibitors. Here in, we present our ongoing clinical trial investigating the safety and efficacy of yttrium-90 TARE combined with Durvalumab and Tremelimumab in patients with ICC (NCT06058663). METHODS: In this phase 1 study, yittrium-90 TARE will be combined with Durvalumab and Tremelimumab in 16 patients with unresectable or oligometastatic ICC. Eligible patients with histologically confirmed measurable disease must not have received any prior local therapies and any immunotherapy with ECOG PS of 0 or 1, adequate liver (Child Class A, ALBI 1 or 2) and renal function. Patients should also have a favorable mapping angiography based on an angiosomal analysis. Ablative radioembolization would be performed at least a dose of greater than 205 Gy MIRD to &gt;75% of tumor. Study treatment with Tremelimumab (x 1 dose of 300mg total) + Durvalumab 1500mg monthly will continue until unacceptable toxicities, or disease progression for up to 24 months. Durvalumab and Tremelimumab will be infused in two alternate schedules after yittrium-90 TARE. In cohort 1 (3 patients) immunotherapy will be delivered within 24 hours of TARE. In cohort 2 (3 patients) immunotherapy will be delivered 2 weeks after TARE. Subsequent patients will be enrolled in either cohort 1 or 2 based on the safety signal from the first 6 patients. Primary goal of the study is to determine safety of this combination. Secondary goals include ORR per RECIST 1.1, progression-free survival, overall survival, infield and out of field response rate and downstaging to resection. Correlative studies include ctDNA at baseline along with evolution through treatment, pre and post treatment biopsies to look at tumor microenvironment and post treatment dose volume histograms. Three patients have been accrued in the study thus far.

AbstractBackgroundAcute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in adults is aggressive, with long‐term outcomes impacted by treatment resistance and toxicity. CD52 is expressed in most cases of B‐ and T‐lineage ALL. Alemtuzumab, a humanized immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody that targets CD52, was identified as a potential agent to improve treatment efficacy without increasing toxicity.MethodsIn this phase 1/2 study (Cancer and Leukemia Group B [CALGB] 10102, NCT00061945), a course of single‐agent alemtuzumab was intercalated into CALGB 19802 backbone chemotherapy after the third course of intensive chemotherapy in those who were CD52+ at diagnosis. Phase 1 tested three dose levels of subcutaneous alemtuzumab (10, 20, and 30 mg 3 times weekly for 4 weeks/12 doses) and demonstrated that 30 mg was tolerable. Phase 2 established feasibility.ResultsThe study enrolled 295 evaluable patients (115 in phase 1, 180 in phase 2); 206 (69.8%) were CD52+. Among evaluable CD52+ patients, 43.7% (90/206) completed the first three treatment modules; 97.8% (88 of 90) were treated with alemtuzumab. Alemtuzumab was associated with cytomegalovirus viremia, which occurred in 23.3% (14 of 60) of patients during and 29.2% (19 of 65) after alemtuzumab treatment. With a median follow‐up of 101.2 months, median overall survival (OS) was 26.3 months (3‐year rate, 44%; 5‐year rate, 36%; 10‐year rate, 31%). Landmark analysis at the start of the fourth course of treatment demonstrated no difference in OS or disease‐free survival between patients who did and who did not receive alemtuzumab.ConclusionAlemtuzumab was feasible to administer in adults with ALL receiving intensive chemotherapy, but was without evidence of benefit.

12065 Background: Incidence of cancer, including colorectal, breast, pancreas, kidney, and uterine cancer, is increasing in younger populations. Adolescents and young adults (AYA, defined as age 15-39) with cancer face unique challenges. This study aimed to characterize how symptom burden differs between AYA and non-AYA (aged 40+) patients with cancer. Methods: We performed a subgroup analysis of the E2C2 study, a cluster-randomized, pragmatic trial examining the effectiveness of routine symptom assessment and guideline-based management on patient-centered and healthcare utilization metrics during and following cancer treatment. Six symptoms [Sleep disturbance, Pain, Physical function impairment, Anxiety, Depression, and Energy deficit/fatigue (SPPADE)] were evaluated using 11-point numerical rating scales (NRS). Symptom severity was classified as mild (0-3), moderate (4-6), or severe (7-10). We conducted a subgroup analysis of symptom burden among AYA patients (defined as age 18-39 in this study), using their first-reported NRS scores. Results: The E2C2 cohort included 2,598 AYA patients and 38,061 non-AYA patients who completed >1 SPPADE NRS on at least one survey. AYA patients were more likely than non-AYA patients to report severe anxiety ( p<0.0001) and depression ( p<0.0001) (Table). Non-AYA patients were more likely to report severe pain ( p=0.02179), fatigue ( p=0.0022), and physical function limitations ( p<0.0001). Sociodemographic differences were also noted. A higher proportion of AYA patients held a bachelor’s degree or higher (38% vs 28%), were employed (73% vs 37%), and lived in an urban setting (67% vs 56%), compared to non-AYA patients. Non-AYA patients were more likely to have government insurance (63% vs 21%) and to be married (72% vs 59%). Conclusions: AYA patients with cancer were more likely to report severe depression and anxiety compared to their counterparts age 40 and above, underscoring the need for targeted and tailored psycho-oncology care for this population.
