1652 Background: Tarlatamab is a bispecific T-cell engager targeting DLL3 that has shown promise as a therapy in small cell lung cancer. Administering tarlatamab requires careful consideration of immune-related adverse events (AE), including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Prescribing information recommends patients to be monitored for 22-24 hours in an appropriate healthcare setting for cycle 1 (C1), days 1 and 8. At Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN (MCR), tarlatamab is initially administered in a hospital-based outpatient (HBO) setting utilizing an innovative remote patient monitoring system (RPM). In this study, we describe our RPM process and patient outcomes thus far. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records of patients treated with tarlatamab from August through December 2024. All patients received tarlatamab in the HBO setting and were enrolled into RPM for C1, days 1–10. Patients attended daily HBO visits on days 1–3 and 8–10 of C1 and were required to stay within 30 minutes of the hospital with a 24-hour caregiver for 48 hours following infusion days in C1-2. Data on patient characteristics, frequency of RPM alerts, escalations, rate of CRS & ICANS, and need for hospitalizations were reported using descriptive metrics. Results: As part of RPM, patients are provided with a kit containing preconnected Bluetooth-enabled devices to measure vital signs (VS), including blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), temperature (T), and pulse oximetry (SpO2). The kit also includes a cellular-enabled tablet for electronic ICANS questionnaires, which upload directly into our electronic medical record system. Patients are required to log VS four times daily, monitored in real-time by a centralized virtual RPM nursing (RN) team. Embedded decision trees trigger alerts, prompting the RN team to contact patients and follow care pathways for escalations as needed. Among the 16 patients treated, the median age was 68 years, and the median ECOG PS was 1. During the 10-day RPM period, a total of 2,233 VS entries were recorded. Of these, 88% (14/16) of patients had alerts triggered, with a median of 2 alerts per patient. Alerts were mostly for out-of-range systolic BP (56%), HR (56%), and T (25%), with none for SpO2. The RN team escalated alerts in 50% (8/16) of the patients. Overall, 38% (6/16) of patients were managed entirely in the HBO setting. Among the 63% hospitalized, 56% had CRS limited to grade (G) 2, and 31% had ICANS limited to G3. Two patients were hospitalized for other indications. The mean length of stay was 2.6 days, with no ICU admissions. Conclusions: Our experience shows that frequent monitoring required with tarlatamab can be safely and effectively executed in an outpatient setting with the utilization of an RPM system. It can potentially minimize the burden of hospitalizations for patients and the healthcare system.

Abstract Infection is increasingly recognized as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) receiving CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. The current study analyzed the natural history, risk factors, and outcomes of infection in 3350 patients with R/R LBCL receiving commercial CD19 CAR T-cell therapy (n = 2804 axicabtagene ciloleucel [axi-cel], n = 546 tisagenlecleucel) from December 2017 to June 2022. Infection developed in 834 patients (24.9%) within 100 days after infusion, resulting in an infection density of 0.43 per 100 patient days and a 100-day cumulative incidence of 22%. Bacterial, viral, and fungal infections were recorded in 527 (15.7%), 374 (11.2%), and 108 patients (3.2%), respectively, with corresponding infection densities of 0.23, 0.15, and 0.04 per 100 patient days. After a 24-month median follow-up, 1482 patients (44%) had died, with infection as the primary cause in 173 cases (12%). The 100-day infection-related mortality (IRM) was 1.6% (95% confidence interval, 1.2-2.0). Patients with a Karnofsky performance score of ≤80, infection history before CAR T-cell therapy, axi-cel therapy, severe cytokine release syndrome (grade ≥3), and severe immune effector cell–associated neurotoxicity syndrome (grade ≥3) had increased infection risk. Infections within 100 days were an independent risk factor for inferior overall survival beyond day 100 after CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. In conclusion, study results show a significant incidence of infection and IRM in patients with R/R LBCL treated with CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. Furthermore, results identify patients at a heightened risk of infection, offering insights to guide potential interventions aimed at mitigating infection and improving patient outcomes after CAR T-cell therapy.

6106 Background: Treatment options for pts with R/M SGC are limited. Responses to chemotherapy (CT) are low with high toxicity and responses to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) are <10%. Pemetrexed (PTX) is safe and tolerable with responses reported in pts with R/M SGC. 1 Given enhanced responses with PTX and pembrolizumab (PMB) for lung cancer, we hypothesized that PTX and PMB will have activity for SGC. Herein we present the efficacy results in pts with non-adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). Methods: MC200708 is a single arm phase II study of PTX and PMB in pts with R/M SGC (NCT04895735). Pts were treated in 2 cohorts: ACC (cohort A) and non-ACC (cohort B). Key eligibility criteria: ≥18 years, ECOG 0-1, measurable disease. Prior ICI and/or PTX was allowed. Key exclusion criteria: serious comorbidities, autoimmune disease, and brain metastases. Simon’s 2-stage design was used for each cohort. Primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints: progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicity. All pts received PTX 500 mg/m2 IV + PMB 200 mg IV q3 weeks until progression or treatment intolerance. Imaging was q3 cycles. Results: 25 pts were enrolled Aug 2021-Feb 2024; 1 cancelled prior to treatment. Of 24 eligible and treated pts, median age was 59.5 years (46-77), 66.7% male, performance status 0 (62.5%) or 1 (37.5%). Histologies were salivary duct carcinoma (SDC, 11), acinic cell carcinoma (8), mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC, 3), myoepithelial carcinoma (1), and carcinoma NOS (1). 7 pts had no prior therapies (29.2%). The remaining pts had 1 (33.3%), 2 (29.2%), or ≥ 3 lines of therapy (8.3%). 83.3% of pts had no prior ICI. Median cycles of treatment was 8 (2-34), and duration of response was 12.5 months (4.1-20.6). 9 of 24 pts had a confirmed partial response (PR) for ORR of 37.5% (CI: 18.8-59.4). PRs were seen in 7 pts with SDC (7 of 11, 63.6% PR), 1 with MEC, and 1 with acinic cell. Stable disease (SD) was seen in 5 (20.8%), progressive disease in 8 (33.3%), and 2 didn’t have post-baseline imaging, but were considered non-responders per protocol. Clinical benefit rate was 58.3% (CI: 36.6-77.9). With median follow-up of 12.0 months (2-34.7), median OS is 20.7 months (CI: 17.3-not reached) and median PFS is 6.2 months (CI: 2.1-17.3). 1-year OS and PFS rate is 76.3% (95% CI: 59.9-97.2) and 36.1% (CI: 21.01-62.2), respectively. Common toxicities were grade 1 fatigue and nausea. 6 pts (25.0%) had ≥1 grade 3-4 toxicity possibly related to treatment, mostly hematologic. The 4 pts with grade 3-4 non-heme toxicity had grade 3 fatigue, rash, and heart failure, and 1 grade 4 hypokalemia. Correlative studies investigating biomarkers of response are underway. Conclusions: PTX and PMB has activity in pts with R/M SGC, with promising responses in pts with SDC and median response duration of 1 year. 1 Viscuse et al. Head Neck 2019;41(6):E99-103.

1586 Background: Black and Hispanic breast cancer (BC) survivors have a higher prevalence of obesity and experience less success with weight loss interventions (WLI) than White BC survivors. The BWEL trial (Alliance A011401; NCT02750826) is a phase III randomized trial evaluating the impact of a 2-year telephone-based WLI on invasive disease-free survival in participants (pts) with stage II-III HER2-negative BC and a BMI ≥ 27 kg/m 2 . At 12-months, the WLI induced significant weight loss across demographic factors, including race and ethnicity. However, Black and Hispanic pts lost less weight and completed fewer calls than White pts. Here, we evaluate intervention adherence, engagement and tool utilization in BWEL pts by race and ethnicity. Methods: BWEL randomized pts to a WLI plus health education (HE) or HE alone. WLI pts received semi-structured telephone-based health coaching, delivered in English or Spanish, and received an activity monitor and wireless scale. Pts self-reported race and ethnicity. Mean values for call duration, call density (time to complete the initial 12-week intensive intervention phase), intervention attrition, and frequency of Fitbit use and weight tracking over 12-months were compared by race and ethnicity, comparing least squares means with Tukey-Kramer adjustment for multiple comparisons with adjusted p-values. Results: Of 3181 pts randomized to the study between 08/2016 and 02/2021, 1591 pts were allocated to the WLI arm. 80.5% of pts were White, 12.8% Black, and 7.1% Hispanic. Average BMI was 34.5 (±5.7) kg/m2. Compared to White pts, Black pts had fewer days of Fitbit usage (113.6 vs. 159.8, p<0.0001) and weight tracking (77.9 vs. 135.6 days, p< 0.0001). Hispanic pts had fewer days of Fitbit usage (108.8 vs. 154.9, p= 0.001) and weight tracking (87 vs. 129.5 days, p=0.0002) compared to non-Hispanic pts. There were no differences in attrition rate, average call duration, or call density by race or ethnicity. Conclusions: In a phase III WLI trial, engagement with tools designed to support weight loss was significantly lower in Black and Hispanic pts. Future work is needed to explore ways to enhance engagement and improve weight loss outcomes for racial and ethnic minority pts.

561 Background: Obesity and other lifestyle factors are associated with breast cancer (BC) risk and outcomes. These relationships appear to vary in pre- vs postmenopausal women. Here we explore associations between pathological features, diet quality and physical activity (PA) in patients (pts) with BC enrolled in the BWEL (Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology A011401) trial, stratifying for menopausal status. Methods: BWEL is a phase III trial evaluating the impact of a weight loss intervention on disease outcomes in 3180 pts with stage II-III HER2– BC and body mass index ≥27 kg/m 2 . The first 542 BWEL pts underwent assessment of PA (7-Day PA Recall) and diet (24-hour Diet Recall) at enrollment. Healthy Eating Index 2020 (HEI) score (0-100, higher value = healthier diet) and minutes/week (min/wk) of moderate/vigorous PA (MVPA) were calculated. Estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) expression level (%) were abstracted from pathology reports. Analyses of links between HEI score, MVPA min/wk, % ER/PR, stratified by menopausal status, were conducted using t-tests; differential associations by menopausal status used linear regression models with interaction term. Results: In 523 pts with available pathology data, 76.5% had ER/PR+ BC, 56.2% were postmenopausal. Median HEI score was 50.1 (range 18.1-96.4), median MVPA min/wk was 0 (range 0-630), median time from diagnosis to enrollment was 10.0 months (range 2.4-13.1). In postmenopausal pts, higher diet quality was linked to increased % ER and PR (HEI above vs below median, mean % ER 78.0 vs 66.1, p=0.012; mean % PR 57.7 vs 43.1, p=0.004). The relationship between HEI score and % ER/PR differed significantly by menopausal status (interaction term of menopausal status and % ER: p=0.006; and % PR: p=0.012); there were no significant associations between HEI scores and % ER/PR in premenopausal pts. There were no significant associations between PA and % ER/PR. Conclusions: Healthier diet was associated with higher % ER and PR in postmenopausal pts with BC, but no relationship was seen in premenopausal pts. These data suggest that lifestyle factors may influence BC pathologic features related to outcomes in older women.

11106 Background: Patients with cancer take different types of medication (e.g., enteral, parenteral), with varying treatment schedules, in various settings. They are also sometimes instructed to stop medication in response to toxicity. To measure medication nonadherence in this heterogenous population, we modified and pilot-tested a self-report measure originally developed to assess nonadherence to daily oral medication, the Domains of Subjective Extent of Nonadherence (DOSE-Nonadherence), in adults with cancer. Methods: Participants were ≥21 years, on active cancer treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering, and spoke English and/or Spanish. A branching logic was added to allow participants to select the setting where they take cancer medication: 1) only at home, 2) only in clinic, or 3) partly at home/partly in clinic. Based on administration setting, participants reported nonadherence to medications their clinician expected them to take over a given reference period (1 week for home and 1 month for clinic medications). Participants then reported on setting-relevant reasons for nonadherence. Survey instructions/items were refined in an iterative process using feedback from a patient investigator committee and participant cognitive interviews. During interviews, we asked participants about the interpretation of instructions/items, recall period, and comprehensiveness of reasons for nonadherence, regardless of their own adherence. After initial testing in English, a Spanish version was developed through transcreation. Adherence was dichotomized for analysis (complete adherence vs. any nonadherence). For all participants who received clinic medications, concordance between chart abstracted and self-reported adherence was evaluated. Results: Of 55 participants who completed the surveys and interviews (67% in English; 33% in Spanish), 87% were female and 44% identified as Latino. The majority (73%) had breast cancer; 60% had metastatic disease. 12 of 45 who received medication in clinic reported nonadherence as did 8 of 35 who took medication at home. Participants felt able to respond accurately to both recall periods. All reasons for nonadherence were perceived as relevant to themselves or other patients. There was 89% concordance between self-reported and chart abstracted adherence for clinic-administered medication. To improve concordance, changes were made to the formatting and instructions. Of 12 participants who completed the final version of the survey for clinic-administered medication, there was 100% concordance between self-reported and chart abstracted nonadherence. Conclusions: Our results support the reliability and validity of modified DOSE-Nonadherence for cancer patients. This instrument can be used to better identify nonadherence to cancer medications in a population of adult patients with cancer receiving various treatment regimens.

e17617 Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a cardinal symptom of endometrial cancer (EC). However, 90-95% of those with AUB will undergo invasive endometrial sampling with the finding of benign etiology. Our group has identified EC-related methylated DNA markers (MDMs) detectable in vaginal fluid obtained via self-collected tampon with high sensitivity to detect EC. To provide alternative vaginal fluid collection options, we compared total DNA recovery and detection of EC MDMs between tampon and swab collection methods. Methods: Patients ≥45 yrs with AUB or undergoing routine gynecologic care, and patients ≥18 yrs with biopsy-confirmed EC or atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) were prospectively enrolled for paired vaginal fluid biospecimens collection. Participants self-collected vaginal fluid via tampon before provider-collected vaginal fluid sampling via swab immediately prior to clinically indicated endometrial sampling or hysterectomy. Cases (EC/AEH) and benign controls were determined by expert review. DNA was extracted from vaginal fluid. Bisulfite converted DNA was then used in long-probe quantitative amplified signal (LQAS) assays for 10 MDMs and 2 reference markers (RMs). Total DNA recovery using the RMs and detection of EC-specific MDMs were compared across sampling techniques. MDMs were standardized using the log of the ratio of the MDM and RM1. Standardized MDMs were compared between swabs and tampons using median and interquartile range (IQR). Results: A total of 40 eligible participants were evaluated in this study, 20 cases and 20 controls. Median time between tampon and swab collection was 27 hours (range 1-53). DNA quantity as measured using both RM1 and RM2 were comparable between swab and tampon in both cases and controls; MDM detection was also comparable between swab and tampon in both cases and controls (Table 1; 8 representative MDMs shown). Though not powered for sensitivity and specificity estimation, EC-related MDMs appear higher in EC cases vs controls, using either sample type. Conclusions: Sampling vaginal fluid with provider-collected swabs or self-collected tampons are both effective for detection of validated EC MDMs. Studies are ongoing to optimize an MDM panel to detect EC in vaginal fluid.

e15024 Background: Anetumab ravtansine (AR) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) containing the microtubule inhibitor DM4. ADC drugs have high interpatient variability in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), which raises concerns whether current dosing based on body weight (mg/kg) is optimal. Thus, we evaluated the effects of patient characteristics, including novel biomarkers of the innate immune system (IIS), on the PK/PD of AR. Methods: Studies were performed in patients in three clinical trials of different cancers with AR as part of treatment: 1) platinum-resistant or refractory high-grade ovarian cancer treated with AR at 2.2mg/kg IV weekly plus bevacizumab(N = 19); 2) pleural mesothelioma treated with AR at 6.5 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks plus pembrolizumab(N = 28); and 3) mesothelin-positive advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with AR at 5.5-6.5 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks plus nivolumab (and ipilimumab or gemcitabine, N = 27). Intensive plasma PK sampling was performed after the first dose to calculate clearance (CL), volume of distribution (Vd), and area-under-the-plasma-concentration-time curve (AUC 0-inf ). The relationship between biomarkers of FcɣRs (CD64, CD32, CD16) on IIS blood cells, total body weight (TBW), body surface area (BSA), lean body mass (LBM), and sex with PK parameters and clinical outcomes were evaluated by pearson correlation, t-test and multivariate regression analysis. Population PK (popPK) methods further evaluated patient covariates and variability in PK. Results: Patients with higher IIS FcγR CD64 and/or higher TBW or higher BSA had higher AR ADC CL (p < 0.05). AR ADC CL was lower in females (0.030 ± 0.007 L/h) versus males (0.042 ± 0.006 L/h) (p < 0.05). Patients with stable disease and partial response had higher AR ADC AUC 0-inf versus patients with progressive disease AR ADC disposition was described by linear CL with two pathways for the release of the payload DM4, hydrolysis and the IIS. A time-varying drug-to-antibody ratio predicted the release of the DM4 payload. In the PopPK model, LBM and albumin were associated with CL of the AR ADC, LBM and IIS FcγR CD64 were associated with the Vd of the AR ADC, and LBM and age were associated with the CL of the released DM4. Conclusions: These results suggest that TBW-based dosing of AR ADC is not optimal, whereas precision dosing of antibodies and ADCs based on the use of novel metrics of body habitus, IIS biomarkers, and sex may be more appropriate to reduce PK variability and improve response.

2085 Background: Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare and aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma with no approved treatments for relapsed/refractory (R/R) patients, representing a critical unmet need. MyD88 mutations in ~70% of PCNSL patients drive Interleukin-1 receptor associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) activation, promoting NF-κB signaling, inflammation, and tumor progression. Emavusertib, a potent oral IRAK4 inhibitor, crosses the blood-brain barrier and shows preclinical synergy with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi), re-sensitizing BTKi-resistant cell lines. This study evaluates the molecular and pharmacokinetic (PK) data associated with responses to emavusertib + ibrutinib combination therapy in R/R PCNSL patients. Methods: The safety, clinical activity, and potential biomarkers of emavusertib in R/R PCNSL are being investigated in the ongoing open-label, Phase 1/2 TakeAim Lymphoma trial (NCT03328078). Pre-dose and 1.5-hour post-dose plasma samples were collected on Cycle 3 Day 1, Cycle 5 Day 1 and Cycle 7 Day 1. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were obtained via a lumbar puncture within 1.5 hrs of collection of the post-dose plasma PK sample on Cycle 3 Day 1. Mutation analysis was based on patients’ molecular pathology reports provided by trial sites. Sequencing of archival tissues, CSF and plasma are in progress. Results: As of 06 December 2024, CSF concentration data were available for 7 PCNSL patients. The mean emavusertib concentration in CSF was 81.3 ng/ml (54.7-104.0) in patients receiving 100 mg emavusertib BID (n = 4). In patients receiving 200 mg emavusertib BID (n = 3), the mean emavusertib concentration in CSF was higher at 175.7 ng/ml (114.8-209.4), which is 2.2X the mean value in patients who received 100 mg emavusertib BID (p-value = 0.02). All 7 patients received 560 mg ibrutinib QD, and the ibrutinib concentrations in the CSF were consistent with findings from previously published clinical studies. MyD88 mutation status was available for 7 patients of which all had prior exposure to BTKi regimens. Among these, 6 patients had MyD88 mutation of which 4 patients had responded (3 complete responses and 1 partial response) to emavusertib + ibrutinib combination with duration of response (DOR) up to 18.9 months with data collection ongoing. Conclusions: Preliminary CNS pharmacokinetic data demonstrates that emavusertib concentration in CSF increases with increasing emavusertib dose. Patients with MyD88 mutations showed expected promising preliminary efficacy to emavusertib + ibrutinib combination and may overcome BTKi resistance. Enrollment in this trial is ongoing.

e20120 Background: In May 2024, the FDA approved tarlatamab, a Delta-like ligand (DLL3)/CD3-targeted bispecific T-cell engager, for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) with disease progression following platinum-based chemotherapy and at least one other prior line of therapy. We aim to evaluate the real-world outcomes of agent. Methods: We conducted a retrospective multi-site single center analysis of adult patients who received tarlatamab at Mayo clinic sites including Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Data analysis was performed with Blue Sky statistics version 10.4. Results: Twenty patients with a median age 67 years (range 43-76) were included. Patients were predominantly women (55%) and all had a history of tobacco use. Metastatic disease commonly involved liver (55%) and CNS (60%). Majority (90%) had received prior PDL-1 therapy. 25% (5/20) of patients received prior gamma knife and in addition 10% (2/20) received whole brain radiation treatment in our cohort. Median time from CNS radiation and tarlatamab initiation was 4 months (range 3-28). Other characteristics, outcomes, and toxicity are presented in Table 1. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) Grade (G) 1 was observed in 45% patients. G 2, 3 and 4 CRS were observed in 5% patients respectively. G 1 CRS was managed with acetaminophen initially followed dexamethasone 10mg or methylprednisone 1g if no improvement in 24 hours. Tocilizumab was used 20% patients for G 1,2,3 and 4 CRS depending on clinical course. Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity (ICANS) G 1 occurred in 10% patients, followed by G 2 in 15% and G 3 in 5% patients. ICANS was managed in a multidisciplinary fashion. All patients had resolution of CRS and ICANS. Conclusions: In this study investigating the real-world outcomes and toxicity of tarlatamab, a higher incidence of ICANS was observed than that reported in the DeLLphi-301 trial. The association between presence of CNS metastatic disease, prior CNS radiation and incidence of ICANS needs to be explored further. Mayo Clinic report of tarlatamab real world outcomes and toxicity.
