TPS4596 Background: There is no standard adjuvant systemic therapy that increases overall survival (OS) over surgery alone for non-metastatic RCC. Anti-PD-1 nivolumab (nivo) improves OS in metastatic RCC and is well tolerated. In mouse models, priming the immune system prior to surgery with anti-PD-1 results in superior OS compared to adjuvant dosing. Remarkable pathologic responses have been seen with neoadjuvant PD-1 in multiple ph 2 studies in bladder, lung and breast cancers. Phase 2 neoadjuvant RCC trials of nivo show preliminary feasibility and safety with no surgical delays. PROSPER RCC seeks to improve clinical outcomes by priming the immune system with neoadjuvant nivo prior to nephrectomy followed by continued immune system engagement with adjuvant blockade in patients (pts) with high risk RCC compared to standard of care surgery alone. Methods: This global, unblinded, phase 3 National Clinical Trials Network study is accruing pts with clinical stage ≥T2 or TanyN+ RCC of any histology planned for radical or partial nephrectomy. Select oligometastatic disease is permitted if the pt can be rendered ‘no evidence of disease’ within 12 weeks of nephrectomy (≤3 metastases; no brain, bone or liver). In the investigational arm, nivo is administered 480mg IV q4 weeks with 1 dose prior to surgery followed by 9 adjuvant doses. The control arm is nephrectomy followed by standard of care surveillance. There is no placebo. Baseline tumor biopsy is required only in the nivo arm but encouraged in both. Randomized pts are stratified by clinical T stage, node positivity, and M stage. 805 pts provide 84.2% power to detect a 14.4% absolute benefit in recurrence-free survival at 5 years assuming the ASSURE historical control of ̃56% to 70% (HR = 0.70). The study is powered to evaluate a significant increase in OS (HR 0.67). Critical perioperative therapy considerations such as safety, feasibility, and quality of life metrics are integrated. PROSPER RCC embeds a wealth of translational studies to examine the contribution of the baseline immune milieu and neoadjuvant priming with anti-PD-1 on clinical outcomes. As of February 10, 2021, 704 patients have been enrolled (N = 805). Clinical trial information: NCT03055013.

610 Background: Personalized treatment for clinical T1 renal cortical masses (RCMs) should account for competing risks related to tumor and patient characteristics. Using a contemporary multi-institutional cohort, we developed treatment-specific prediction models for cancer-specific mortality (CSM), other-cause mortality (OCM), and 90-day complication rates for patients managed with surgery, thermal ablation (TA), and active surveillance (AS). Methods: Preoperative clinical and radiological features were collected for eligible patients aged 18-91 years treated at four academic centers from 2000-2016. Prediction models used competing risks regressions for CSM and OCM and logistic regressions for 90-day Clavien >3 complications, adjusting for tumor size as well as patient age, sex, ECOG performance status (PS), and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI). Predictions accounted for missing data using multiple imputation. Results: After excluding 25 patients with no follow-up, the cohort included 4995 patients treated with radical nephrectomy (RN, n=1270), partial nephrectomy (PN, n=2842), thermal ablation (n=479), or active surveillance (n=404). Median follow-up was 5.1 years (IQR 2.5-8.5). Predictions from the fitted model are shown in an online calculator ( https://rgulati.shinyapps.io/rcc-risk-calculator ). To illustrate the use of this calculator for a specific patient, a 70-year-old female with a 5.5 cm RCM, PS of 2, and CCI of 3 has a predicted 5-year CSM of 4-7% across treatments, 5-year OCM of 34-49%, and 90-day risk of Clavien ≥3 complications of 4%, 10%, and 6% for RN, PN, and TA respectively. Conclusions: Personalized treatment selection for cT1 RCM is challenging. We present a competing risk calculator that incorporates pretreatment features to quantify competing causes of mortality and treatment-associated complications. Pending validation, this tool may be used in clinical practice to provide patients with estimated individualized treatment-specific probabilities of competing causes of death and complication risks to facilitate shared decision-making.

TPS4597 Background: The anti-PD-1 antibody nivo improves overall survival (OS) in metastatic RCC and is well tolerated. There is no standard adjuvant (adjuv) systemic therapy that increases OS over surgery alone for non-metastatic RCC. Priming the immune system prior to surgery with anti-PD-1 has shown an OS benefit compared to a pure adjuv approach in mouse solid tumor models. Multiple ph 2 studies in bladder, lung and breast cancers have shown remarkable pathologic responses with neoadjuvant (neoadj) PD-1 blockade. Two ongoing ph 2 studies of perioperative nivo in M0 RCC patients are showing preliminary feasibility and safety with no surgical delays (NCT02575222; NCT02595918). PROSPER RCC (NCT03055013) aims to improve clinical outcomes by priming the immune system prior to nephrectomy with neoadj nivo and continued engagement with adjuv blockade in patients with high risk RCC compared to surgery alone. Methods: This global, unblinded, phase 3 National Clinical Trials Network study is currently accruing patients with clinical stage ≥T2 or TanyN+ RCC of any histology planned for nephrectomy. Oligometastases are permitted if can be rendered NED. We amended the study to enhance accrual and patient quality of life by changing nivo dosing to 480mg q4 wks and requiring baseline tumor biopsy only in the nivo arm. The investigational arm receives 1 dose of nivo prior to surgery followed by 9 adjuv doses. The control arm undergoes standard nephrectomy followed by observation. Randomized patients are stratified by clinical T stage, node positivity, and M stage. Accrual of 805 patients provides 84.2% power to detect a 14.4% absolute benefit in recurrence-free survival (RFS) at 5 years assuming the ASSURE historical control of ~56% to 70% (HR = 0.70). The study is powered to evaluate a significant increase in OS (HR 0.67). Critical perioperative therapy considerations such as safety, feasibility, and quality of life endpoints have been integrated. PROSPER RCC embeds a wealth of translational work aimed at investigating the impact of the baseline immune milieu, the changes induced by neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 priming, and how both may predict clinical outcomes. Clinical trial information: NCT03055013.

TPS684 Background: The anti-PD-1 antibody nivo improves overall survival in metastatic RCC and is well tolerated. There is no standard adjuvant systemic therapy that increases overall survival (OS) over surgery alone for non-metastatic RCC. Priming the immune system prior to surgery with anti-PD-1 has shown an OS benefit compared to a pure adjuvant approach in mouse solid tumor models. The PROSPER RCC trial aims to improve clinical outcomes by priming the immune system prior to nephrectomy with neoadjuvant nivo and continued engagement with adjuvant blockade in patients with high risk M0 RCC compared to surgery alone. Methods: This global, unblinded, phase 3 National Clinical Trials Network study is currently accruing patients with clinical stage ≥T2 or node positive M0 RCC of any histology. Tumor biopsy prior to randomization is mandatory to ensure RCC and permits in depth correlative science. The investigational arm will receive two doses of nivo 240mg prior to surgery followed by adjuvant nivo for 9 months (q2 wks x 3 mo followed by 480mg q4 wks x 6 mo). The control arm will undergo standard nephrectomy followed by observation. Randomized patients are stratified by clinical T stage, node positivity, and histology. To enhance accrual and patient quality of life, key upcoming amendments are being instituted. These include biopsy only in the nivo arm, allowance of oligometastatic disease and bilateral renal masses that can be fully resected/ablated, and change of nivo dosing to q4 wks (1 neoadj; 9 adj). With accrual of 766 patients, there is 84.2% power to detect a 14.4% absolute benefit in recurrence-free survival (RFS) at 5 years assuming the ASSURE historical control of ~56% to 70% (HR = 0.70). The study is also powered to evaluate a significant increase in overall survival (HR 0.67). Safety, feasibility, and quality of life endpoints critical to adjuvant therapy considerations are incorporated. PROSPER RCC embeds a wealth of translational work aimed at investigating the impact of the baseline immune milieu, the changes induced by neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 priming, and how both correlate with clinical outcomes.

e16003 Background: Multidisciplinary management improves complex treatment decision making in cancer care, but its impact for bladder cancer (BC) has not been documented. While radical cystectomy (RC) is currently viewed as the standard of care for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), radiotherapy-based, bladder-sparing trimodal therapy (TMT) combining transurethral resection of bladder tumor, chemotherapy for radiation sensitization and external beam radiotherapy has emerged as a valid treatment option. In the absence of randomized studies, we compared the oncological outcomes between patients managed by RC or TMT using a propensity-score matched cohort analysis. Methods: Patients seen in our multidisciplinary bladder cancer clinic (MDBCC) from 2008 to 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Those who received TMT for MIBC were identified and matched (for gender, cT and cN stage, ECOG status, Charlson comorbidity score, treatment date, age, CIS, hydronephrosis) using propensity scores, to patients who underwent RC. Overall survival and disease-specific survival (DSS) were assessed with Cox Proportional hazards modeling and competing risk analysis, respectively. Results: 112 patients with MIBC were included after matching, 56 treated with TMT and 56 by RC. Median age was 68.0 years and 29.5% were cT3/cT4. At a median follow up of 4.51 years, there were 20 (35.7%) deaths (13 from BC) in the RC group and 22 (39.3%) deaths (13 from BC) in the TMT group. 5 year DSS was 73.2% and 76.6%, in the RC and TMT groups, respectively (p = 0.49). Salvage cystectomy was performed in 6/56 TMT patients (10.7%). Conclusions: In the setting of a MDBCC, TMT yielded survival outcomes similar to matched RC patients. Appropriately selected MIBC patients should be offered the opportunity to discuss various treatment options including organ-sparing TMT.
