A number of familial diseases have an age‐of‐onset component, which can be considered as a censored quantitative trait. However, few software resources are available for the use of time‐to‐event endpoints in linkage analysis. The purpose of this analysis was to examine the use of martingale residuals from Cox survival models as quantitative traits for familial diseases with variable age at onset. We used these residuals as quantitative traits in variance components linkage scans for the 50 replicates of the general population simulated data for chromosomes 6 and 7. The region on chromosome 6 containing markers D06G034 and D06G035 demonstrated evidence for linkage, consistent with the underlying genetic model. This analysis demonstrates the applicability of using martingale residuals as a quantitative trait in linkage analyses of diseases that depend on age of onset. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

348 Background: Patients (pts) with mUC have few treatment options beyond the second-line setting. HER2 gene amplification has been reported in a minority of pts with UC, but there have been anecdotal reports of the activity of HER2-targeted agents. MyPathway is a multi-basket study evaluating the efficacy and safety of targeted therapies in non-indicated tumor types harboring relevant molecular alterations. We present preliminary data for pts with HER2-positive mUC receiving HER2-targeted treatment with pertuzumab + trastuzumab. Methods: MyPathway (NCT02091141) is an open-label, multicenter, phase IIA study. Pts in this subset analysis had refractory mUC with HER2 amplification or putative activating mutations by gene sequencing, FISH, or IHC. Pts received standard doses of pertuzumab + trastuzumab without chemotherapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint is investigator-assessed overall response rate (RECIST v1.1). Results: As of July 31, 2016, 12 pts with platinum-resistant HER2-positive mUC (HER2-amplified, n=9; HER2-mutated, n=3) have been enrolled. At a median follow-up of 5.4 (range 0.9–14.5) mos, 1 pt had complete response (CR, ongoing at 12.5 mos), 2 had partial responses (PR; duration of response, 3.7 and 5.5 mos), and 2 had stable disease (SD) for >4 mos (Table). Safety was consistent with the product labels. Conclusions: Preliminary results indicate that the combination of pertuzumab + trastuzumab has activity in previously treated HER2-amplified mUC, including a durable CR in a pt with peritoneal metastases. Accrual to MyPathway is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT02091141. [Table: see text]

166 Background: T-DM1 is an antibody-drug conjugate composed of trastuzumab, a stable linker, and the cytotoxic agent DM1. Few T-DM1 data are available in settings approximating clinical practice. We present safety and efficacy data from T-PAS, an expanded access study of T-DM1 in patients (pts) with previously treated HER2-positive MBC. Methods: T-PAS is a US multicenter study of T-DM1 (3.6 mg/kg q3w) in HER2-positive (IHC 3+ or FISH/CISH+) locally advanced or MBC. Key eligibility criteria: prior anthracycline and taxane; prior capecitabine or 5-FU and ≥2 HER2-directed agents (including trastuzumab and lapatinib) for MBC; LVEF ≥50%. Primary endpoint: safety; secondary endpoint: investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR) in pts with measurable disease. Safety was assessed on day 1 of each cycle; ECHO/MUGA scans were every 12 weeks. Results: This analysis includes 215 pts enrolled in May 2010–Sep 2011 (data cutoff 7/31/2012). Pts received a median of 7 prior systemic MBC therapies (range 1–23) with a median cumulative anthracycline dose of 240 mg/m2(range 6–2645). At baseline, median LVEF was 60% and 50% of pts had investigator-reported cardiovascular disease. Median follow-up was 5.9 months (range 0.1–25.3); median T-DM1 duration was 5.0 months (range 0–23) with 15.8% receiving >18 cycles. ORR was 25.6% (42/164). Rate of grade ≥3 AEs was 43.7% and of SAEs of any grade was 18.1%. Most common all-grade AEs were fatigue (50.7%), nausea (36.3%), and headache (24.2%). Most common grade ≥3 AEs were thrombocytopenia (7.9%), fatigue (4.7%), and increased aspartate aminotransferase and anemia (each 3.7%). There were no grade ≥3 bleeding events. Cardiac dysfunction (primarily asymptomatic decreases in LVEF) was reported in 8 pts (3.7%); 4 were grade ≥3, 3 resulting in T-DM1 discontinuation. Conclusions: In this study that more closely reflects the real-world setting, the safety profile of T-DM1 was similar to that previously reported in conventional clinical trials, with no new safety signals. In this pretreated population (median of 7 prior therapies for HER2-positive MBC), significant activity was observed. Clinical trial information: NCT01120561.
