TPS4661 Background: Liposomal irinotecan administered with 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5-FU/LV) is approved in the USA for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) following progression with gemcitabine-based therapy. A phase 1/2 study in previously untreated locally advanced/metastatic PDAC showed promising anti-tumor activity with liposomal irinotecan 50 mg/m2 free base + 5-FU 2400 mg/m2 + LV 400 mg/m2 + oxaliplatin (OX) 60 mg/m2 on days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle (Wainberg et al. Ann Oncol 2019;30 Suppl 4: SO-005). Herein, we present the design of the phase 3 NAPOLI-3 study investigating the efficacy and safety of this regimen as first-line therapy in patients with mPDAC. Methods: NAPOLI-3 (NCT04083235) is a phase 3, open-label, randomized, global study in adults with histologically/cytologically confirmed pancreatic adenocarcinoma not previously treated in the metastatic setting. Patients are required to have one or more metastatic tumors measurable with computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 0–1. Site activation began in Dec 2019 and enrollment is ongoing. Random allocation (1:1) of 750 patients is planned to liposomal irinotecan + 5-FU/LV + OX (regimen as per phase 1/2 study) or nab-paclitaxel 125 mg/m2 + gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 on days 1, 8 and 15 in a 28-day cycle. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints (progression-free survival [PFS] and overall response rate assessed with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 criteria) will be compared only if the primary endpoint shows superiority for liposomal irinotecan + 5-FU/ LV + OX over nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine. Safety assessments include adverse-event monitoring. Patients will continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or study withdrawal, and will then be followed for survival every 2 months until death or study end (when all patients have died, withdrawn consent or are lost to follow-up). Clinical trial information: NCT04083235 .

Objectives Pancreatic resection is associated with postoperative morbidity and reduced quality of life (QoL). A systematic literature review was conducted to understand the patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) landscape in early-stage pancreatic cancer (PC). Methods Databases/registries (through January 24, 2019) and conference abstracts (2014–2017) were searched. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale/Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. Searches were for general (resectable PC, adjuvant/neoadjuvant, QoL) and supplemental studies (resectable PC, European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QoL Questionnaire [QLQ] – Pancreatic Cancer [PAN26]). Results Of 750 studies identified, 39 (general, 22; supplemental, 17) were eligible: 32 used QLQ Core 30 (C30) and/or QLQ-PAN26, and 15 used other PROMs. Baseline QLQ-C30 global health status/QoL scores in early-stage PC were similar to all-stage PC reference values but lower than all-stage–all-cancer values. The QoL declined after surgery, recovered to baseline in 3 to 6 months, and then generally stabilized. A minimally important difference (MID) of 10 was commonly used for QLQ-C30 but was not established for QLQ-PAN26. Conclusions In early-stage PC, QLQ-C30 and QLQ-PAN26 are the most commonly used PROMs. Baseline QLQ-C30 global health status/QoL scores suggested a high humanistic burden. Immediately after surgery, QoL declined but seemed stable over the longer term. The QLQ-C30 MID may elucidate the clinical impact of treatment on QoL; MID for QLQ-PAN26 needs to be established.

TPS592 Background: For advanced CCA, standard of care 1L systemic treatment is GEM + CIS. Genetic alterations in intrahepatic CCA provide potential therapeutic targets. Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 2 gene rearrangements driving CCA tumorigenesis were identified almost exclusively in intrahepatic CCA patients (pts) (incidence, 10–16%). In phase 2, PEM (INCB054828), a selective, potent, oral FGFR1–3 inhibitor elicited an objective response rate (ORR) of 35.5% and median progression-free survival (PFS) of 6.9 months (mo) in previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic CCA with FGFR2 rearrangements (NCT02924376). FIGHT-302, a randomized, open-label, phase 3 study will evaluate efficacy and safety of 1L PEM vs GEM + CIS in unresectable/metastatic CCA with FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements (NCT03656536). Methods: Eligible pts are adults with confirmed unresectable/metastatic CCA; no prior systemic therapy for advanced disease < 6 mo before enrollment; radiographically measurable/evaluable disease (per RECIST v1.1); ECOG PS ≤1; documented FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements. Exclusions include clinically significant corneal or retinal disorder; history of calcium and phosphate homeostasis disorder or systemic mineral imbalance with ectopic soft tissue calcification; untreated CNS metastases or history of uncontrolled seizures. Pts will be randomized (1:1; stratified by region and tumor burden) to PEM 13.5 mg QD on a 21-day (d) cycle or GEM (1000 mg/m2) + CIS (25 mg/m2) on D1 and D8 of 21-d cycles (max 8). Crossover to PEM allowed after confirmed progression. PEM titration to 18 mg from cycle 2 allowed for pts without hyperphosphatemia (serum phosphate > 5.5 mg/dL) and Grade ≥2 treatment-related adverse events during cycle 1. Hyperphosphatemia will be managed with diet modifications, phosphate binders, diuretics, or dose adjustments. Treatment will continue until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint is PFS (by independent review). Secondary endpoints are ORR, overall survival, duration of response, disease control rate, safety, and quality of life. Four pts (target N = 432) are enrolled as of Sep 25, 2019. Clinical trial information: NCT03656536.

NAPOLI-1 (NCT01494506) was a phase III study of liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) plus 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5-FU/LV) in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) previously treated with gemcitabine-based therapy. This post hoc analysis of NAPOLI-1 aimed to develop a predictive nomogram for overall survival (OS) at 6 and 12 months. Analyses were derived from all patients in NAPOLI-1 randomized to receive nal-IRI+5-FU/LV, nal-IRI monotherapy, or 5-FU/LV combination therapy. OS was associated with baseline factors using univariate and multivariable Cox analyses. A predictive nomogram was derived and validated using a concordance index and calibration plots. The univariate analyses identified 21 independent factors that contributed to OS, with eight factors significantly associated with OS. The Karnofsky Performance Score contributed the largest number of points (100), followed by presence of liver metastasis (98) and randomization to nal-IRI+5-FU/LV (96). The other baseline factors showing effects were albumin (g/dL), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (U/mL), disease stage at diagnosis, and body mass index (kg/m2). The nomogram was used to predict the 6- and 12-month survival probability. The mean absolute errors between the observed and predicted probabilities for OS at 3, 6, and 9 months were 0.07, 0.08, and 0.07, respectively. This nomogram, based on NAPOLI-1, provides additional insight to aid decision-making for patients with mPDAC after previous gemcitabine-based therapy.

TPS545 Background: Advanced cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is a life-threatening disease with limited effective chemotherapy options. Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (mIDH1) occur in 13–15% of CC cases, and up to 25% of intrahepatic CC cases, leading to epigenetic and genetic changes that promote oncogenesis via production of the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). AG-120 (ivosidenib), a first-in-class oral mIDH1 inhibitor, displayed a favorable safety profile and clinical activity in a phase 1 study enrolling 73 mIDH1 CC patients who had received ≥1 prior systemic regimen. As of 10 Mar 2017, 4/73 (5%) had a partial response and 41/73 (56%) stable disease. Progression free survival (PFS) rates at 6 months and 12 months were 38.5% and 20.7%, respectively. The 500 mg once daily dose level of AG-120 was selected for further development in mIDH1 CC. Methods: ClarIDHy is a global, phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, randomized (2:1) study of AG-120 (500 mg once daily) vs. matched placebo in 186 mIDH1 CC patients (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02989857). Key eligibility criteria: non-resectable or metastatic CC, documented mIDH1 by central laboratory testing, ECOG performance status 0–1, measurable disease (RECIST v1.1), documented disease progression after ≤2 prior systemic therapies in the advanced setting including at least 1 gemcitabine- or 5-fluorouracil-containing regimen, and no prior mIDH inhibitor therapy. Crossover from placebo to AG-120 will be allowed at time of radiographic disease progression. Primary endpoint: PFS assessed by independent radiologists. Secondary endpoints: safety, tolerability, overall response rate (RECIST 1.1), overall survival, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analyses, and quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BIL21 scales). An independent data monitoring committee will monitor the data during study conduct. The ClarIDHy study is currently activated at participating sites in the US, UK, EU, and S. Korea.

TPS4142 Background: Advanced cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is a life-threatening disease for which there are limited therapeutic options. Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (mIDH1) occur in up to 25% of intrahepatic CC cases. mIDH1 lead to epigenetic and genetic changes that promote oncogenesis via production of the oncometabolite, D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). AG-120 is a first-in-class oral inhibitor of the mIDH1 enzyme, and is being tested in a phase 1 study that enrolled 73 patients (pts) with mIDH1 CC who had received a median of 2 prior therapies (range 1–5). AG-120 has demonstrated a favorable safety profile and clinical activity in this study. Among the 72 efficacy evaluable pts (≥1 post-baseline response assessment or discontinued prematurely), 6% (n = 4) had a confirmed partial response and 56% (n = 40) had stable disease. Progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 6 months was 40% as of Dec 16, 2016. The 500 mg once daily (QD) dose of AG-120 was selected for the ongoing phase 3 study in mIDH1 CC described here. Methods: ClarIDHy is a global, phase 3, multicenter, double-blind study randomizing 186 pts with mIDH1 CC in a 2:1 ratio to AG-120 (500 mg QD) or matched placebo (NCT02989857). Key eligibility criteria: nonresectable or metastatic CC; documented mIDH1 based on central laboratory testing; ECOG 0–1; measurable disease (RECIST v1.1); documented disease progression following ≤2 prior systemic therapies in the advanced setting, including at least 1 gemcitabine- or 5-fluorouracil-containing regimen; and no prior mIDH inhibitor therapy. Crossover from the placebo arm to the AG-120 arm will be permitted. The primary endpoint is PFS as assessed by an independent review. Secondary endpoints include safety, tolerability, overall response rate, overall survival, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses on plasma, and quality of life as assessed by the EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-BIL21, and EQ-5D-5L instruments. An independent data monitoring committee will monitor the data throughout the study. The ClarIDHy study is currently activated at participating sites in the US and will be activated in centers throughout Europe and in South Korea. Clinical trial information: NCT02989857.

Purpose No standard treatment exists for patients with cholangiocarcinoma for whom first-line gemcitabine-based therapy fails. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 ( FGFR2) fusions/translocations are present in 13% to 17% of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas. BGJ398, an orally bioavailable, selective pan-FGFR kinase inhibitor, has shown preliminary clinical activity against tumors with FGFR alterations. Methods A multicenter, open-label, phase II study ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02150967) evaluated BGJ398 antitumor activity in patients age ≥ 18 years with advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma containing FGFR2 fusions or other FGFR alterations whose disease had progressed while receiving prior therapy. Patients received BGJ398 125 mg once daily for 21 days, then 7 days off (28-day cycles). The primary end point was investigator-assessed overall response rate. Results Sixty-one patients (35 women; median age, 57 years) with FGFR2 fusion (n = 48), mutation (n = 8), or amplification (n = 3) participated. At the prespecified data cutoff (June 30, 2016), 50 patients had discontinued treatment. All responsive tumors contained FGFR2 fusions. The overall response rate was 14.8% (18.8% FGFR2 fusions only), disease control rate was 75.4% (83.3% FGFR2 fusions only), and estimated median progression-free survival was 5.8 months (95% CI, 4.3 to 7.6 months). Adverse events included hyperphosphatemia (72.1% all grade), fatigue (36.1%), stomatitis (29.5%), and alopecia (26.2%). Grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 25 patients (41%) and included hyperphosphatemia (16.4%), stomatitis (6.6%), and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (4.9%). Conclusion BGJ398 is a first-in-class FGFR kinase inhibitor with manageable toxicities that shows meaningful clinical activity against chemotherapy-refractory cholangiocarcinoma containing FGFR2 fusions. This promising antitumor activity supports continued development of BGJ398 in this highly selected patient population.

335 Background: CCA is a hepatobiliary malignancy with poor prognosis and few treatment options following cytotoxic therapy in the first-line metastatic setting. The fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) axis may promote CCA tumorigenesis. FGFR2 fusions (in up to 17% of intrahepatic CCAs) may predict FGFR inhibitor sensitivity. A prior phase 1 trial of the selective pan-FGFR inhibitor BGJ398 showed antitumor activity in a pt with CCA harboring an FGFR2 fusion. Methods: This ongoing phase 2, open-label study is evaluating oral BGJ398 125 mg once daily on a 3-week-on/1-week-off schedule (28-day cycle) in pts with advanced or metastatic CCA with FGFR2 fusions (n ≈ 40) or other FGFR genetic alterations (n ≤ 15) who progressed after cisplatin/gemcitabine or are cisplatin intolerant (NCT02150967). The primary endpoint is investigator-assessed overall response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, best overall response (BOR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival, safety, and pharmacokinetics. Results: As of 10 July 2015, 26 pts with CCA harboring FGFR2 fusions (n = 22) or other FGFR alterations (n = 4), pretreated with 1 to ≥ 4 prior regimens, were enrolled. Common adverse events (AEs; ≥ 20% of pts), were hyperphosphatemia (50%), fatigue (42%), constipation (38%), cough (23%), and nausea (23%). Grade 3/4 AEs occurring in ≥ 2 pts were hyper/hypophosphatemia, lipase increase, and hyponatremia. AEs were manageable, reversible, and rarely led to treatment discontinuation. Among 22 pts evaluable for BOR, 3 achieved partial response and 15 had stable disease, including 10 with tumor reductions (-41%, n = 1; -2% to -29%, n = 9). Overall DCR was 82%. As of the cutoff date, 18 pts remained on therapy, of which 13 were on for > 120 days. Kaplan-Meier estimated lower limit (95% CI) of median time on study was 143 days. Conclusions: BGJ398 shows impressive anti-tumor activity and a manageable safety profile in pts with advanced FGFR-altered CCA, an indication of high unmet medical need. Updated data including additional responses post data cutoff will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT02150967.
