Abstract Abstract 5247 Background: Vena cava filters (VCF) has been used as a method to prevent pulmonary embolism (PE). The indication for VCF in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) according to the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guidelines has been changed to recommend that VCF is only indicated in case of contraindication to anticoagulation. Also, there is very limited data describing the long-term effectiveness and safety of these devices if they are not removed. There is no data for VCF in Korea. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the change of practice patterns of VCF according to the change of the ACCP guidelines and the outcomes of VCF. Patients and Method: The data from patients who had the placement of VCF from Jan 2001 to Mar 2010 was collected from 6 academic institutes in Korea, retrospectively. We analyzed the patients grouped into 3 groups according to ACCP guidelines published year. These are -2004 group, 2005–2008 group, and 2009- group. Results: All 460 cases were collected and analyzed. Permanent and retrievable filter was 109 (24%) and 351 (76%), respectively. 49% of retrievable filters was attempted to remove and 88% removal success rate was showed. The patient's number is 79 in -2004 group (17%), 254 in 2005–2008 group (55%), and 127 in 2009- group (28%), respectively. The number of patients in indications of VCF was contraindication to anticoagulation 177 (38%), extensive thrombosis for preventing PE 207 (45%), recurrent VTE during anticoagulation 39 (8%), and others 37 (9%), respectively. The practice pattern in indication for VCF was changed in recurrent VTE during anticoagulation (P=0.012). Any complications after VCF insertion were developed in 107/460 (23%) dung follow-up. Inferior vena cava thrombosis, new DVT after placement of VCF, and new DVT with PE after placement of VCF were developed in 45/460 (10%), 91/460 (20%), and 14/460 (3%), respectively. Median follow-up durations were 49.6 months (range, 0–124.4), 12.3 months (0–67.5) and 6.0 months (0–26.9) for -2004, 2005–2008, and 2009- group, respectively. Vena cava thrombosis was significantly decreased in 2009- group (P=0.022). 75% thrombosis-free time was 3.7 months, 13.0 months, and not estimable in -2004, 2005–2008, and 2009- group, respectively (P=0.10). Conclusion: This is first report on VCF in Korea. The practice for indication of VCF insertion in patients with VTE was still out of boundaries from the ACCP guidelines in Korea. Complications after VCF insertion was decreased as time went by. The more follow-up durations was needed to evaluate the development of complication or thrombosis after VCF insertion in 2005–2008 group and 2009- group. Prospective randomized study is needed in Korea to confirm that VCF insertion plus anticoagulation will truly decrease the development of PE than standard anticoagulation.

Abstract Abstract 3980 Background: Nearly half of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are over 70 years at the time of diagnosis. While the survival of patients with myeloma has improved in the last decade, several studies have suggested no significant change for the elderly patients. These patients often have other comorbidities and are less likely to tolerate standard treatment approaches. We retrospectively studied the treatment patterns, outcomes, and prognostic factors in patients over 75 years of age. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We identified 212 patients who were older than 75 years from among 1545 patients seen at the Mayo Clinic within 90 days of diagnosis during 1999 to 2008. We only included 139 patients in whom complete treatment details were available. RESULTS: The median age was 80 years (range: 76–94) with 20 (14%) patients older than 85 years; 79 (57%) were male. Thirty-five patients (25%) had a history or coexistence of one or more malignancies. Chromosome analysis and FISH were performed in 65% and 22% respectively. Abnormal cytogenetics were seen in 30 (33%) of the 90 tested patients. The median survival of the 139 elderly patients was 27 months (95% CI: 20∼35) compared to 62 months (56∼68) for 1,290 patients ≤ 75 years of age seen during the same period. Sixty-nine (50%) patients received one or more novel agents (thalidomide, lenalidomide, pomalidomide, bortezomib) and showed longer median survival (40 months vs 13 months) compared with those not receiving these agents (p=0.0008). Age over 85, initial poor performance score > 1, thrombocytopenia, elevated serum LDH or beta2-microglobulin, response more than stable disease to first therapy resulted in inferior survival. Among them, only performance status had the persistent significance in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: Older patients receiving newer therapies appear to have a better outcome, which is still lagging behind the younger patients. A poor performance score at diagnosis predicts for eventual poor outcome. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract Abstract 1858 Systemic light chain amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis) is a condition where clonal plasma cells produce misfolded insoluble immunoglobulin light chains that deposit in various organs causing progressive organ dysfunction. Chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) when eligible is the standard treatment options for patients with AL amyloidosis. There are several studies who report long term outcomes of patient post ASCT. However, there is a paucity of literature describing the outcomes of patients who have received ASCT but have relapsed. We performed a retrospective study to assess the outcomes and treatment regimens employed following relapse after ASCT. Between 1996 and 2009, 410 patients received ASCT at the Mayo Clinic as first line therapy. Of those 410 patients 42 patients died within 3 months of transplant, 64 patients died without documented relapse, 158 patients were alive without documented progression, and 146 patients had documented progression. Those 146 patients are the subject of our study. The median time to hematologic relapse was 2 years (range: 0.2–15.5 years). At relapse, 59 patients were treated with IMiD based therapy, 36 with alkylator based therapy, 24 with bortezomib, 15 with steroids, and 5 with second ASCT. The respective hematologic response rates were 58%, 33%, 50%, 53%, and 60%. The remaining six patients were not evaluable for response for one other following reasons: organ transplants; no further therapy; inevaluable disease. With a median post relapse follow up of 3.6 years, the median overall survival (OS) from the first post ASCT relapse was 4.6 years. The median post transplant follow up was 6.1 years, the median OS for these patients was 7.3 years from the time of transplant. These data provide novel information about outcomes after SCT relapse, which should be useful not only for patients and doctors but also for investigators designing studies for salvage therapies post-transplant.

Purpose The aim of this study was to examine 2 aspects of treatment intensity in treatment for childhood apraxia of speech (CAS): practice amount and practice distribution. Method Using an alternating-treatments single-subject design with multiple baselines, we compared high versus low amount of practice, and massed versus distributed practice, in 6 children with CAS. Conditions were manipulated in the context of integral stimulation treatment. Changes in perceptual accuracy, scored by blinded analysts, were quantified with effect sizes. Results Four children showed an advantage for high amount of practice, 1 showed an opposite effect, and 1 showed no condition difference. For distribution, 4 children showed a clear advantage for massed over distributed practice post treatment; 1 showed an opposite pattern, and 1 showed no clear difference. Follow-up revealed a similar pattern. All children demonstrated treatment effects (larger gains for treated than untreated items). Conclusions High practice amount and massed practice were associated with more robust speech motor learning in most children with CAS, compared to low amount and distributed practice, respectively. Variation in effects across children warrants further research to determine factors that predict optimal treatment conditions. Finally, this study adds to the evidence base supporting the efficacy of integral stimulation treatment for CAS. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.9630599

4009 Background: Interim analysis of a global, phase 2 KEYNOTE-059 study (NCT02335411) reported manageable safety and promising antitumor activity for pembro alone or pembro + chemo in pts with G/GEJ cancer. Here we report long-term efficacy and safety data of all cohorts. Methods: Pts with recurrent or metastatic G/GEJ adenocarcinoma were enrolled in 3 cohorts. Cohort 1 pts (PD-L1–positive or –negative) received pembro alone after ≥2 prior lines of therapy. Cohort 2 pts (PD-L1–positive or –negative) received pembro + cisplatin (80 mg/m2 day 1) + 5-fluorouracil (800 mg/m2 days 1-5 Q3W) or capecitabine (in Japan only, 1000 mg/m2 twice daily) as first-line. Cohort 3 pts (PD-L1–positive, combined positive score ≥1% using the PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx assay) received pembro alone as first-line. All pts received pembro 200 mg Q3W for up to 2 years. End points included safety, ORR, DOR, and OS. Results: At data cutoff (Aug 8, 2018), median (range) follow-up was 6 (1-38), 14 (2-40), and 21 (2-36) months for cohorts 1 (n = 259), 2 (n = 25), and 3 (n = 31), respectively. In cohort 1, confirmed ORR (95% CI) was 11.6% (8-16) overall, 15.5% (10-22) in PD-L1–positive, and 6.4% (3-13) in PD-L1–negative tumors. In cohort 2, confirmed ORR was 60.0% (39-79) overall, 73.3% (45-92) in PD-L1–positive, and 37.5% (9-76) in PD-L1–negative tumors. In cohort 3, confirmed ORR was 25.8% (12-45). Median (range) DOR in months was 16.1 (2-35+), 4.6 (3-37+), and not reached (2.1-32.5+) in cohorts 1, 2, and 3, respectively. OS at 1 year/2 years was 24.6%/12.5%, 52%/32%, and 63.6%/40.1% in cohorts 1, 2, and 3, respectively. In cohorts 1, 2, and 3, grade 3-5 treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) incidence was 46 (18%), 20 (80%), and 8 (26%) respectively. TRAEs led to discontinuation in 6 (2%) and 3 (12%) pts in cohorts 1 and 2, respectively, and to death in 2 (1%) pts in cohort 1. No TRAEs led to discontinuation or death in cohort 3. Conclusions: These updated results demonstrate manageable safety, durable clinically meaningful activity of pembro in heavily pretreated pts, and promising efficacy of first-line pembro (alone or + chemo) in pts with advanced G/GEJ cancer.

1030 Background: Previous studies have shown that 44-71% of trastuzumab (T)-treated pts develop HER2-specific immunity (Clin Cancer Res 2007, 13:5133; Cancer Res 2016, 76:3702; Breast Cancer Res 2018, 20:52). M is an Fc-engineered mAb that shares similar HER2 binding and antiproliferative activity as T. The Fc region of M has been engineered for increased affinity to the activating FcγRIIIA (CD16A) and lower binding to the inhibitory FcγRIIB (CD32B), attributes that may enhance the mAb’s immune function, such as antigen presentation. Methods: HER2+ cancer pts who progressed on prior therapy received M (0.1-6 mg/kg QW for 3 of every 4 weeks [N = 34]; or 10-18 mg/kg Q3W [N = 32]) in phase 1 trial NCT01148849. PBMC and plasma were collected pre-dose and 50 days post-dose for 46 pts and > 4 years for 3 pts on long-term treatment. Response to HER2 or control antigens (Ag) was assessed by IFNγ ELISpot and antibody (Ab) ELISA. In 14 pts, T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) repertoire was assessed by immunosequencing. Results: Following M treatment, mean frequencies of IFNγ-producing T cells specific for intra- or extracellular fragments of HER2 increased by 2.5 to 6-fold (p < 0.0027, paired t test). Most (95%) of subjects responded to ≥2 of 6 (median = 5) HER2 Ag. Mean HER2-specific Ab concentration increased by 19-54% (p < 0.0001), with all subjects responding to ≥2 (median = 5) of the 6 Ag. A small 1.6-fold increase in IFNγ response to control CMV/EBV/Flu (but not tetanus or cyclin D1) peptides was observed; no increase in Ab response to control Ag was noted. Subsets of HER2-specific T-cell and Ab responses persisted during long-term treatment. Median TCR clonality increased by 54% (p = 0.003), with an average of 125 unique clones expanding, while overall TCR diversity remained unchanged (p = 0.19). Conclusions: Treatment of HER2+ cancer with M was associated with enhanced HER2-specific T-cell and Ab responses together with increased TCR clonality, indicative of a more focused T-cell repertoire. The high frequency of HER2-specific immunity in M-treated patients ( > 95%) is consistent with its enhanced Fc region contributing to linkage of innate and adaptive immune responses.

Abstract Background: Patients achieving a pathologic complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant therapy have significantly improved event-free survival relative to those who do not; and pCR is an FDA-accepted endpoint to support accelerated approval of novel agents/combinations in the neoadjuvant treatment of high risk early stage breast cancer. Previous studies have shown that recurrence risk increased with increasing burden of residual disease (as assessed by the RCB index). As well, these studies suggest that patients with minimum residual disease (RCB-I class) also have favorable outcomes (comparable to those achieving a pCR) within high risk tumor subtypes. In this study, we assess whether integrating RCB with MRI functional tumor volume (FTV), which in itself is prognostic, can improve prediction of distant recurrence free survival (DRFS); and identify a subset of patients with minimal residual disease with comparable DRFS as those who achieved a pCR. Imaging tools can then be used to identify the subset that will do well early and guide the timing of surgical therapy. Method: We performed a pooled analysis of 596 patients from the I-SPY2 TRIAL with RCB, pre-surgical MRI FTV data and known follow-up (median 2.5 years). We first assessed whether FTV predicts residual disease (pCR or pCR/RCB-I) using ROC analysis. We applied a power transformation to normalize the pre-surgical FTV distribution; and assessed its association with DRFS using a bi-variate Cox proportional hazard model adjusting for HR/HER2 subtype. We also fitted a bivariate Cox model of RCB index adjusting for subtype; and assessed whether adding pre-surgical FTV to this model further improves association with DRFS using a likelihood ratio (LR) test. For the Cox modeling, penalized splines approximation of the transformed FTV and RCB index with 2 degrees of freedom was used to allow for non-linear effects of FTV and RCB on DRFS. Result: Pre-surgical MRI FTV is significantly associated with DRFS (Wald p&lt;0.00001), and more effective at predicting pCR/RCB-I than predicting pCR alone (AUC: 0.72 vs. 0.65). Larger pre-surgical FTV remains associated with worse DRFS adjusting for subtype (Wald p &lt;0.00001). The RCB index is also significantly associated with DRFS adjusting for subtype (Wald p&lt;0.00001). Adding FTV to a model containing RCB and subtype further improves association with DRFS (LR p=0.0007). RCB-I patients have excellent DRFS (94% at 3 years compared to 95% in the pCR group). Efforts are underway to identify an optimal threshold for dichotomizing pre-surgical FTV and FTV change measures for use in combination with pCR/RCB-I class to generate integrated RCB (iRCB) groups as a composite predictor of DRFS. Conclusion: Pre-surgical MRI FTV is effective at predicting minimal residual disease (RCB0/I) in the I-SPY 2 TRIAL. Despite the association between FTV and RCB, FTV appears to provide independent added prognostic value (to RCB and subtype), suggesting that integrating MRI volume measures and RCB into a composite predictor may improve DRFS prediction.

Abstract Background In clinically node-negative (cN0) breast cancer patients with triple negative (TN) and HER2+ disease and breast pathological complete response (breast pCR), low rates of nodal positivity after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) have been demonstrated. In these patients, the omission of surgical axillary staging has been proposed. However, this information is not routinely known preoperatively. We aimed to validate the correlation between pathologic breast response and pathologic nodal status, and evaluate the relationship between response of the breast tumor on MRI and pathologic nodal status after NAC in cN0 patients in the I-SPY2 trial. Methods We identified all patients with cT1-4 cN0 breast cancer prior to NAC from graduated arms of the I-SPY2 trial, a prospective neoadjuvant chemotherapy trial. Absence of residual disease post-NAC was defined as longest diameter (LD) of 0 mm on MRI. Breast pCR was defined as the absence of invasive tumor in the breast at surgery. Associations between ypN0 and patient, MRI, and tumor characteristics were assessed using chi-square tests and univariate regression. Results Of 365 cT1-4 cN0 patients included, 128 had HR+/HER2- tumors (35%), 60 HR+/HER2+ tumors (16%), 34 HR-/HER2+ tumors (9%) and 143 TN tumors (39%). Overall, 283 patients (78%) were ypN0 after NAC and 152 patients (42%) had a breast pCR. ypN0 rate was higher in patients with a breast pCR than those with residual disease (93% vs 66%, p&lt;0.001). Patients with HR-/HER2+ and TN tumors were more likely to be ypN0 (97% and 87% respectively) than patients with HR+/HER2- and HR+/HER2+ disease (66% and 71% respectively, p&lt;0.001). Other characteristics associated with ypN0 were tumor grade (grade I 57%, grade II 66%, grade III 84%; p=0.002), MammaPrint Classification (High Risk 1 68% and High Risk 2 87%; p&lt;0.001) and absence of residual tumor in the breast on MRI (87% vs 72% in patients with evidence of tumor on MRI post-NAC/pre-surgery; p=0.003). In patients with HR-/HER2+, HR+/HER2+, HR-/HER2+ or TN disease and a breast pCR, ypN0 rate was respectively 82%, 96%, 96% and 97% (table 1). In patients with HR+/HER2-, HR+/HER2+, HR-/HER2+ or TN disease and with no evidence of residual disease in the breast on MRI, rate of ypN0 was 71%, 80%, 94% and 96% respectively. Conclusion In cT1-4 cN0 breast cancer patients with HR+/HER2+, HR-/HER2+ and TN tumors and a breast pCR, ypN0 rates after NAC are extremely high. In patients with HR-/HER2+ and TN tumors with no residual breast disease on MRI after NAC and pre-surgery, ypN0 rates are high enough to consider omission of axillary surgery. In patients with HR+ tumors, MRI is unsufficiently predictive for pathological response and can therefore not be used to select ypN0 patients. Research on the prediction of ypN0 in cN+ I-SPY2 patients is ongoing.

723 Background: The US FDA approved pembro for treating pts with 1) recurrent locally advanced or metastatic G/GEJ adenocarcinoma, whose disease has progressed on or after ≥2 prior therapies and whose tumors express PD-L1 (combined positive score [CPS] ≥1), and 2) unresectable or metastatic, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) solid tumors that have progressed after prior therapy and who have no fitting options. We report Asian subgroup analyses from cohort 1 of KEYNOTE-059 (NCT02335411), a global, phase 2 study in advanced G/GEJ cancer. Methods: Eligible pts had measurable recurrent or metastatic G/GEJ adenocarcinoma whose disease has progressed on ≥2 prior chemotherapy regimens. Pts received pembro 200 mg Q3W up to 2 y. PD-L1+ tumors had a CPS ≥1. Primary end points were ORR (RECIST 1.1, by central review) and safety. Results: Cohort 1 enrolled 259 pts; 57% had PD-L1+ tumors. MSI status was evaluable in 174 tumor samples; of these, 7 were MSI-H. At data cutoff (4/21/2017), median (range) follow-up was 6 mo (1-25). Overall ORR was 12% (95% CI, 8-17) and median (range) DOR was 14 mo (2-19+). PFS6-mo rate was 15% and OS6-mo rate was 46%. In pts with PD-L1+ tumors, ORR was 16% (95% CI, 11-23) and median (range) DOR was 14 mo (3+-19+). In pts with PD-L1+ tumors, PFS6-mo rate was 20% and OS6-mo rate was 50%. In pts with MSI-H tumors, ORR was 57% (95% CI, 18-90) and median (range) DOR was not reached (5-14+ mo). In cohort 1, 41 pts were Asian and 218 pts were non-Asian. PD-L1+ tumors occurred in 42% of Asian pts and 60% of non-Asian pts. ORR was 12% (95% CI, 2-36) in Asian pts with PD-L1+ tumors and 17% (95% CI, 11-24) in non-Asian pts with PD-L1+ tumors. One of 7 pts with MSI-H tumors was Asian; this pt had CR. Grade 3-5 treatment-related AEs occurred in 17% and 18% of Asian and non-Asian pts, similar to the overall cohort. Conclusions: Pembro showed durable clinical benefit in previously treated pts with advanced G/GEJ cancer, especially those with PD-L1+ or MSI-H tumors. Safety and efficacy were similar in Asian and non-Asian pts. These findings highlight pembro as a standard treatment option in Asian and non-Asian pts with advanced G/GEJ cancer.
