7555 Background: In a retrospective exploratory analysis of E4599, patients (pts) > 70 yo had a higher frequency of and more severe toxicities without apparent survival benefit from the addition of B to C+paclitaxel. We hypothesized that in this pt population, B will have better safety and efficacy profile when used in combination with C+P. Methods: Pts >/= 70 yo with previously untreated stage IIIB/IV (TNM 6th ed) nonsquamous NSCLC, ECOG PS 0-1, measurable disease and adequate organ function were eligible. C at AUC 6, P at 500 mg/m2 and B at 15 mg/kg were administered on day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to 6 cycles followed by maintenance P+B in patients with CR, PR or SD. The primary endpoint was 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate. The treatment would be considered promising based on a single arm one-stage binomial design if 34 or more successes out of 55 patients were observed. This design had an exact significance level of 0.05 at 93% power to detect a true success rate of at least 70%. Polymorphisms in VEGFA, FPGS, GGH, SLC19A1 and TYMS in germline DNA were correlated with treatment outcome. Results: 58 eligible pts were enrolled; 29 males/29 females. Median age was 75. Median treatment cycles received was 6. Grade 3 or higher adverse events (AE) were reported in 49 (85%) pts. There were no treatment-related deaths. The most common grade 3/4 AEs(regardless of attribution) were hypertension (10%), fatigue (28%), dehydration (9%), neutropenia (43%) and thrombocytopenia (21%). There were 3 (5%) grade 3/4 hemorrhagic events. 8 (14%) had grade 4 neutropenia and 3 (5%) had grade 4 thrombocytopenia. Grade 3/4 ischemic/thromboembolic events occurred in 6 pts (10%). Thirty-four out of the first 54 (63%, 95% CI: 48.7-75.7%) evaluable pts met the primary endpoint (4 pts were lost to follow-up prior to 6 months). The confirmed ORR was 37.9% (95% CI: 25.5-51.6%). Median time to treatment failure was 4.8 months (95% CI: 3.9-6.4). Median PFS was 7.1 months (95% CI: 5.9-11.7), median OS was 13.7 months (95% CI: 9.4-15.7). Results of SNP analysis will be presented. Conclusions: C+P+B followed by maintenance P+B is an active and tolerable first-line regimen for elderly patients with good PS.

This selection from the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Bladder Cancer focuses on the clinical presentation and workup of suspected bladder cancer, treatment of non–muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer, and treatment of metastatic urothelial bladder cancer because important updates have recently been made to these sections. Some important updates include recommendations for optimal treatment of non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer in the event of a bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) shortage and details about biomarker testing for advanced or metastatic disease. The systemic therapy recommendations for second-line or subsequent therapies have also been revised. Treatment and management of muscle-invasive, nonmetastatic disease is covered in the complete version of the NCCN Guidelines for Bladder Cancer available at NCCN.org . Additional topics covered in the complete version include treatment of nonurothelial histologies and recommendations for nonbladder urinary tract cancers such as upper tract urothelial carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma of the prostate, and primary carcinoma of the urethra.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to estimate precise age-specific tubo-ovarian carcinoma (TOC) and breast cancer (BC) risks for carriers of pathogenic variants in RAD51C and RAD51D. Methods We analyzed data from 6178 families, 125 with pathogenic variants in RAD51C, and 6690 families, 60 with pathogenic variants in RAD51D. TOC and BC relative and cumulative risks were estimated using complex segregation analysis to model the cancer inheritance patterns in families while adjusting for the mode of ascertainment of each family. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results Pathogenic variants in both RAD51C and RAD51D were associated with TOC (RAD51C: relative risk [RR] = 7.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 5.60 to 10.19; P = 5 × 10-40; RAD51D: RR = 7.60, 95% CI = 5.61 to 10.30; P = 5 × 10-39) and BC (RAD51C: RR = 1.99, 95% CI = 1.39 to 2.85; P = 1.55 × 10-4; RAD51D: RR = 1.83, 95% CI = 1.24 to 2.72; P = .002). For both RAD51C and RAD51D, there was a suggestion that the TOC relative risks increased with age until around age 60 years and decreased thereafter. The estimated cumulative risks of developing TOC to age 80 years were 11% (95% CI = 6% to 21%) for RAD51C and 13% (95% CI = 7% to 23%) for RAD51D pathogenic variant carriers. The estimated cumulative risks of developing BC to 80 years were 21% (95% CI = 15% to 29%) for RAD51C and 20% (95% CI = 14% to 28%) for RAD51D pathogenic variant carriers. Both TOC and BC risks for RAD51C and RAD51D pathogenic variant carriers varied by cancer family history and could be as high as 32–36% for TOC, for carriers with two first-degree relatives diagnosed with TOC, or 44–46% for BC, for carriers with two first-degree relatives diagnosed with BC. Conclusions These estimates will facilitate the genetic counseling of RAD51C and RAD51D pathogenic variant carriers and justify the incorporation of RAD51C and RAD51D into cancer risk prediction models.

Abstract Background Immunosuppression in glioblastoma (GBM) is an obstacle to effective immunotherapy. GBM-derived immunosuppressive monocytes are central to this. Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is an immune checkpoint molecule, expressed by GBM cells and GBM extracellular vesicles (EVs). We sought to determine the role of EV-associated PD-L1 in the formation of immunosuppressive monocytes. Methods Monocytes collected from healthy donors were conditioned with GBM-derived EVs to induce the formation of immunosuppressive monocytes, which were quantified via flow cytometry. Donor-matched T cells were subsequently co-cultured with EV-conditioned monocytes in order to assess effects on T-cell proliferation. PD-L1 constitutive overexpression or short hairpin RNA–mediated knockdown was used to determined the role of altered PD-L1 expression. Results GBM EVs interact with both T cells and monocytes but do not directly inhibit T-cell activation. However, GBM EVs induce immunosuppressive monocytes, including myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and nonclassical monocytes (NCMs). MDSCs and NCMs inhibit T-cell proliferation in vitro and are found within GBM in situ. EV PD-L1 expression induces NCMs but not MDSCs, and does not affect EV-conditioned monocytes T-cell inhibition. Conclusion These findings indicate that GBM EV-mediated immunosuppression occurs through induction of immunosuppressive monocytes rather than direct T-cell inhibition and that, while PD-L1 expression is important for the induction of specific immunosuppressive monocyte populations, immunosuppressive signaling mechanisms through EVs are complex and not limited to PD-L1.

320 Background: While there is no standard therapy for BCR PC following local therapy, intermittent ADT is widely used. We evaluated utility of APA alone, ADT (luteinizing hormone–releasing hormone agonist [LHRHa]) alone, or APA + LHRHa in ADT-naïve BCR PC pts. Methods: Pts with BCR PC after primary definitive local therapy and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) doubling time (PSADT) ≤ 12 mo were randomized 1:1:1 to open-label 240 mg APA daily, LHRHa alone, or APA + LHRHa for 12 mo, followed by a 12-mo observation period off therapy. Pts were stratified by PSADT (< 6 vs 6-12 mo) and age (≤ 70 vs > 70 y). Primary end point: mean change from baseline (BL) in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) per Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate total score at 12 mo. Secondary end points included PSA nadir < 0.2 ng/mL by 7 mo, time to PSA progression (TTPpsa), and time to testosterone (T) recovery. Results: 90 pts (APA, n = 29; LHRHa, n = 30; APA + LHRHa, n = 31) were treated for median of 12 mo with similar distribution of BL characteristics across groups: 67% age ≤ 70 y; 67% PSADT < 6 mo. There was no significant difference in HRQoL in APA vs LHRHa at 12 mo, or between LHRHa vs APA + LHRHa groups. At median follow-up of 30-33 mo, TTPpsa in APA, LHRHa, and APA + LHRHa groups was 26 mo, 31 mo, and 36 mo, respectively. Compared to LHRHa alone, APA + LHRHa resulted in a trend toward improved TTPpsa (HR [95% CI] 0.56 [0.23-1.36], p = 0.196), and APA alone resulted in a trend for shorter TTPpsa (HR 1.09 [0.49-2.43], p = 0.824). PSA nadir < 0.2 ng/mL was reached in 89%, 89%, and 97% in APA, LHRHa, and APA + LHRHa pts. Median time to T recovery was similar in LHRHa and APA + LHRHa groups (23 mo vs 24 mo). Grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs) occurred in 17% of APA, 14% of LHRHa, and 29% of APA + LHRHa pts. The only grade 3-4 AE reported in > 1 pt per group was hypertension (APA, 3%; LHRHa, 0; APA + LHRHa, 13%). Conclusions: Addition of APA to LHRHa resulted in a trend for longer TTPpsa and a higher proportion of pts achieving optimal PSA nadir without significant difference in HRQoL or time to T recovery. Observed AEs were consistent with known safety profiles. Results support further evaluation of APA + LHRHa for a specified duration in BCR PC. Clinical trial information: NCT01790126.

Introduction: Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are highly active in relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), but most patients (pts) will still relapse. Given this, allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) remains an important option for pts after PD-1 blockade, as it offers the possibility of cure. Prior reports have suggested that alloHSCT after PD-1 mAbs may be associated with severe immune-related complications including acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), veno-occlusive disease (VOD) and cytokine release/febrile non-infectious syndrome (CRS). Prior studies of alloHSCT after PD-1 blockade in cHL have been limited by the small number of pts and short follow-up, preventing an accurate assessment of long-term outcomes and complications, risk factors for early toxicity, and the impact of transplant strategies such as choice of GVHD prophylaxis. We therefore assembled a large retrospective international cohort of cHL pts who underwent alloHSCT after PD-(L)1 blockade to better answer these questions, including an assessment of the impact of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) on efficacy and toxicity. Methods: Medical records and databases were reviewed at 26 European and United States transplant centers to identify pts with cHL who underwent an alloHSCT any time after receiving a PD-1 or PD-L1 mAb. Response assessment was performed by local investigators according to Lugano 2014 criteria. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), cumulative incidence (CumInc) of relapse (CIR), non-relapse mortality (NRM), acute (a) and chronic (c) GVHD were estimated, as was the association between baseline variables and these outcomes. Results: Between 2014 and 2019, 150 pts were identified who underwent alloHSCT after a median of 10 (range, 1-74) doses of nivolumab (n=118), pembrolizumab (n=31), or avelumab (n=1). The median age was 31 (range 17-68) and pts had received a median of 4 (range, 2-11) lines of therapy prior to PD-(L)1 blockade. 138 pts (92%) had failed BV and 111 (74%) autologous HSCT. The best overall response to PD-(L)1 mAbs was CR for 62 pts (41%), PR for 55 (37%), SD for 17 (11%), PD for 15 (10%) and unknown for 1 (1%). Median time from last dose of PD-(L)1 mAb to alloHSCT was 80 days (range, 17-756) with 70 pts (47%) receiving intervening systemic therapy. At alloHSCT, 90 pts were in CR (60%), 45 in PR (30%), 5 in SD (3%), and 10 in PD (7%). Donors were haploidentical (n=71, 47%), matched sibling (n=29, 19%), matched unrelated (n=39, 26%), mismatched unrelated (n=7, 5%), cord blood (n=2, 1%), or unknown (n=2, 1%). Stem cell source was bone marrow (n=38, 25%), peripheral blood (n=110, 73%), or cord blood (n=2, 1%). GVHD prophylaxis included PTCy in 88 pts (59%) (69/71 (97%) with haploidentical donors; 19/79 (24%) with other donors). With a median post-alloHSCT follow-up for survivors of 23.8 months (range, 1-67), the 2y OS and PFS were 79% (95CI 71-86%) and 65% (95CI 55-73%), respectively, while the 2y CumIncs of relapse and NRM were 21% (95CI 13-29%) and 14%, (95CI, 8-22%), respectively (Fig. 1A-B). 27 pts have died, 3 due to disease and 24 to NRM, including aGVHD (n=7) and VOD (n=2). Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) occurred in 5 pts (day 100 CumInc 4%) and 29 pts (19%) developed CRS (grade 1 n=16; grade 2 n=7; grade 3 n=4; grade 4 n=2). The 6-month CumIncs of grade 2-4, grade 3-4 and grade 4 aGVHD were 39%, 16% and 8%, respectively. Hyperacute GVHD (onset ≤ 14 days after alloHSCT) occurred in 4% of pts and was fatal in 2 pts. The 2y CumInc of cGVHD was 45%. Neither receipt of &gt; 10 doses (median) of anti-PD-(L)1 mAb nor undergoing alloHSCT ≤80 days (median) after last dose of PD-(L)1 mAb were associated with PFS or OS. However, pts with a shorter time to transplant (≤80 days) appeared to have a higher risk of severe (grade 3-4) aGVHD (6m CumInc 24% vs 9%, p=0.006). Recipients of PTCy in this cohort had lower 2y CumIncs of cGVHD (34% vs 58%, p=0.01) and relapse (12% vs 31%, p=0.02), superior 2y PFS (76% vs 54%, p=0.015), and similar rates of severe aGVHD (15% vs 18%, p=0.5), 2y NRM (12% vs 16%, p=0.5), and 2y OS (82% vs 78%, p=0.6). Conclusions: With extended follow-up of a large international cohort, our results argue that alloSCT performed after PD-(L)1 mAbs is a feasible strategy associated with an excellent PFS and a very low CIR for this disease. The use of PT-Cy appears to be associated with improved outcomes and may at present represent the optimal transplant strategy in this pt population.

Abstract Background Breast cancer treatment is based on estrogen receptors (ERs), progesterone receptors (PRs), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). At the time of metastasis, receptor status can be discordant from that at initial diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of discordance and its effect on survival and subsequent treatment in patients with breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM). Methods A retrospective database of 316 patients who underwent craniotomy for BCBM between 2006 and 2017 was created. Discordance was considered present if the ER, PR, or HER2 status differed between the primary tumor and the BCBM. Results The overall receptor discordance rate was 132/316 (42%), and the subtype discordance rate was 100/316 (32%). Hormone receptors (HR, either ER or PR) were gained in 40/160 (25%) patients with HR-negative primary tumors. HER2 was gained in 22/173 (13%) patients with HER2-negative primary tumors. Subsequent treatment was not adjusted for most patients who gained receptors—nonetheless, median survival (MS) improved but did not reach statistical significance (HR, 17–28 mo, P = 0.12; HER2, 15–19 mo, P = 0.39). MS for patients who lost receptors was worse (HR, 27–18 mo, P = 0.02; HER2, 30–18 mo, P = 0.08). Conclusions Receptor discordance between primary tumor and BCBM is common, adversely affects survival if receptors are lost, and represents a missed opportunity for use of effective treatments if receptors are gained. Receptor analysis of BCBM is indicated when clinically appropriate. Treatment should be adjusted accordingly. Key Points 1. Receptor discordance alters subtype in 32% of BCBM patients. 2. The frequency of receptor gain for HR and HER2 was 25% and 13%, respectively. 3. If receptors are lost, survival suffers. If receptors are gained, consider targeted treatment.

Aim/Objectives/Background: The American College of Radiology (ACR) and the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) have jointly developed the following practice parameter for proton beam radiation therapy. Proton radiotherapy is the application of a high-energy proton beam to a patient in a clinical setting with therapeutic intent. Proton radiotherapy may permit improved therapeutic ratios with lower doses to sensitive normal structures and greater dose to target tumor tissues. Methods: A literature search was performed to identify published articles regarding clinical outcomes, reviews, quality assurance methodologies, and guidelines and standards for proton radiation therapy. Selected articles are referenced in the text. The following recommendations are based on firsthand experiences of multiple clinical authorities who employ proton therapy and have been peer reviewed by experts at different practicing institutions. Results: This practice parameter is developed to serve as a tool in the appropriate application of this evolving technology in the care of cancer patients or other patients with conditions where radiation therapy is indicated. It addresses clinical implementation of proton radiation therapy, including personnel qualifications, quality assurance standards, indications, and suggested documentation. Conclusions: This practice parameter is a tool to guide technical use of proton therapy and does not assess the relative clinical indication of proton radiotherapy when compared with other forms of radiotherapy, but to focus on the best practices required to deliver proton therapy safely and effectively, when clinically indicated. Costs of proton treatments are high, and the economic costs of proton radiotherapy may also need to be considered.

TPS600 Background: Pts with adv CCA have poor survival outcomes, and chemotherapy offers limited survival benefit (5-year survival rates, 5–10%; median overall survival [OS], 8–12 months). FGFR2 gene rearrangements are known to be early drivers of oncogenesis in ~15% of pts with intrahepatic (i) CCA. Futibatinib, an oral, highly selective, irreversible FGFR1-4 inhibitor has shown antitumor activity against a broad spectrum of FGFR-deregulated tumors in preclinical studies. In a previous study, futibatinib demonstrated clinical activity and tolerability in heavily pretreated pts with adv CCA harboring FGFR2 gene rearrangements. This phase 3 trial (FOENIX-CCA3) is designed to evaluate futibatinib vs gem-cis as 1L therapy for pts with adv iCCA harboring FGFR2 rearrangements. Methods: FOENIX-CCA3 is a multicenter, open-label, randomized phase 3 study that will be conducted in pts with metastatic or unresectable iCCA harboring FGFR2 rearrangements (assessed at screening by a central laboratory). Pts must have an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 and should not have received previous systemic anticancer therapy for adv disease (adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy ≥6 mo prior to randomization is permissible). Pts with clinically-significant alterations in calcium-phosphorus homeostasis or ectopic mineralization/calcification will be excluded. Approximately 216 pts will be randomized (1:1 ratio) to receive 20 mg futibatinib once daily until disease progression or other discontinuation criteria are met or gem-cis (on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle) for 8 cycles or until disease progression, whichever occurs first. Pts will be stratified by prior surgical excision (yes vs no), geographic region, and locally adv vs metastatic disease. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by independent central review (ICR). Secondary endpoints include objective response rate and disease control rate based on ICR, OS, PFS per investigator assessment, and safety. The anticipated start date is in April, 2020.
