e15501 Background: CP is the backbone of first-line therapy for recurrent or metastatic ASCC. In practice, Q3-week CP has been explored as a potential alternative to the standard (d1,8,15 Q28-day cycle) dosing, though its efficacy is not known. This study evaluated CP scheduling and clinical survival associations in metastatic ASCC. Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study included patients with metastatic ASCC treated with first-line CP, identified using the Mayo Data Explorer database. Electronic health records were reviewed to collect baseline clinical characteristics, treatment regimens, responses, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize patient demographics. Survival was estimated using Kaplan–Meier methods. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare survival by dosing schedule, adjusting for age, ECOG performance status, HPV (p16) status, liver metastasis, and prior chemoradiation. Results: 54 patients treated between 2020-2025 with first-line CP for metastatic ASCC were included. Baseline patient demographics were balanced between dosing groups (Table 1). Median follow-up time was 26.2 months. For Q3-week CP (n = 21), median PFS and OS were 9.8 (95% CI 8.1, NR) and 27.0 (95% CI 15.7, NR) months, respectively, while median PFS was 6.5 (95% CI 4.5,15.3) months with standard CP (n = 33) and median OS was not reached (95% CI 11.2, NR). Response rate was 76% with Q3-week and 60.6% with standard CP (p = 0.23) dosing. Survival outcomes were similar when comparing Q3-week CP relative to standard CP dosing using multivariable analysis (PFS HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.33–1.41; OS HR 1.67, 95% CI 0.67–4.14). Higher ECOG and liver metastasis were independently associated with inferior outcomes, while HPV was associated with improved survival. Subsequent therapy patterns were similar between CP schedule groups. Ten patients (16.9%) received local therapy, and 24 of 28 patients with progression received further systemic therapy, including 21 (87.5%) treated with immunotherapy. Conclusions: Survival outcomes were similar across dosing schedules, suggesting Q3-week CP may be a reasonable alternative to standard CP, with potential to reduce treatment-related burden in metastatic ASCC. Future analysis will compare toxicity profiles between CP dosing schedules, including in combination with PD1 inhibitors given the results of the POD1UM-303 trial. Patient demographics (n=54).

e13611 Background: Decentralized cancer care models may reduce treatment burden for patients with advanced prostate cancer (CaP), particularly those facing mobility, transportation, of scheduling challenges. However, prospective patient-reported experience and quality-of-life data comparing home- versus clinic-based oncology care remain limited. Mayo Clinic Cancer CARE Beyond Walls (CCBW) is a patient-centered program designed to deliver selected standard-of-care cancer therapies in the home with virtual clinical oversight. This observational study evaluated patient-reported experience, feasibility, safety, and quality of life among men with advanced or metastatic CaP receiving care at home. Methods: Men with advanced/metastatic CaP receiving active standard-of-care therapy including hormone-based treatments, oral anticancer therapies, anti-bone resorptive agents, or intravenous chemotherapy who were participating in a CCBW randomized trial were enrolled into a companion observational study. After confirmation of treatment tolerance in clinic, patients received home-based care for 24 weeks (Arm A) or in-clinic care for 8 weeks followed by home-based care for 16 weeks (Arm B). Patient-reported outcomes were collected at baseline and Weeks 8, 16, and 24, using CAHPS-based measures and CCBW-specific surveys assessing overall cancer care experience, patient preference for site of care, comfort with home infusions, functional/symptom assessment and quality of life. Descriptive analyses were performed. Results: Eighteen participants were analyzed (Arm A n = 10; Arm B n = 8). Participants were medically stable, and predominantly insured by Medicare. Survey completion was 100% at baseline and 83% at all follow-up time points. At Weeks 16 and 24 when all respondents had received home-based care, 100% and 92% reported being “quite a bit” or “very much” comfortable receiving treatment at home. Communication with at-home and remote nursing teams was rated highly, and most respondents reported transition, scheduling, and equipment use easy or very easy. At Weeks 16 and 24, 45% and 40% of respondents reported improved quality of life from receiving home-based care, with no reports of worsening. No emergency department visits, hospitalizations, or urgent care visits occurred in either arm. Conclusions: In this prospective, observational study, home-based oncology care delivered through CCBW was feasible, safe, and associated with high patient satisfaction among men with advanced CaP receiving diverse systemic therapies. These findings support further evaluation and expansion of decentralized care integrating home-based treatment with virtual clinical oversight.

We report the case of a woman with metastatic alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) who experienced pregnancy-associated disease progression followed by unexpected postpartum regression. Pulmonary lesions increased in size after a miscarriage and during a subsequent pregnancy, prompting consideration for systemic treatment and potential enrolment in a clinical trial evaluating a tyrosine kinase inhibitor in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor. However, baseline staging CT performed a few weeks postpartum unexpectedly demonstrated marked spontaneous regression. Because trial enrolment required Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors-defined radiographic progression, she was deemed ineligible, and no systemic therapy was initiated. Surveillance imaging over the following 2 years confirmed sustained regression and stability of residual disease in the absence of treatment. This case highlights the potential influence of pregnancy-to-postpartum physiology on tumour behaviour through hormonal, immune and angiogenic mechanisms. It also emphasises the importance of short-interval reassessment after delivery before initiation of systemic therapy in reproductive-age patients with metastatic ASPS.

7548 Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity, and emerging evidence suggests their benefits beyond glycemic control, including cardiovascular effects and potential anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties. Therapeutic advances in multiple myeloma (MM) have improved the overall life-expectancy in our patients. However, metabolic comorbidities remain common, likely driven by disease burden, functional decline, ongoing inflammation, and treatment related effects. Our study evaluates the impact of GLP-1 receptor agonists on outcomes in patients with MM, exploring potential interactions between metabolic modulation and disease outcomes. Methods: We conducted a real-world retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX Global Collaborative Network, covering January 2000 to December 2025, encompassing data from 168 global healthcare organizations. Patients aged 18 and above with multiple myeloma were identified and then stratified into two groups based on treatment with GLP-1 agonists or not. The two groups were then propensity-matched based on age, sex, race, and various comorbidities. We assessed outcomes including overall mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, sepsis, anemia, pancreatitis, venous thromboembolism (VTE), and ED visits. Time-to-event analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox proportional hazards models. Results: We identified 1716 patients with MM and obesity who received GLP-1 receptor agonists, and 13,491 patients with MM and obesity who did not receive GLP-1 therapy. After propensity matching, each cohort consisted of 1712 patients with well-balanced baseline characteristics. We followed these patients for 5 years from treatment initiation. Patients with MM who received GLP-1 had a significantly lower risk of overall mortality (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 0.423, 95% CI: 0.351-0.509, p-value <0.001), MI (Risk Difference [RD]: -3.6 %, 95% CI: -5.4 % to -1.7 %, p-value <0.001), ischemic stroke (RD: -1.7 %, 95% CI: -3.3 % to -0.1 %, p-value = 0.04), sepsis with and without shock (RD: -3.0 %, 95% CI: -4.9 % to -1.1 %, p-value = 0.002), and anemia (RD: -9.6 %, 95% CI: -12.9 % to -6.4 %, p-value <0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the rates of VTE, ED visits, and pancreatitis between the two cohorts. Conclusions: Our study revealed that patients with MM with obesity who received GLP-1 therapy had significantly lower rates of overall mortality, MI, ischemic stroke, sepsis with and without shock, and anemia. Additional longitudinal cohort studies are required to explore the associations between these agents and inform clinical practice guidelines in these patients.

5543 Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Emerging evidence suggests that these agents may have potential anti-tumor activity as GLP-1 signaling may influence pathways involved in cell proliferation and inflammation. Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy, and obesity represents a well-established, modifiable risk factor that may adversely affect oncologic outcomes through chronic inflammation and metabolic dysregulation. Our study aims to evaluate the impact of GLP-1 receptor agonists on outcomes among patients with endometrial cancer and comorbid obesity. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the TriNetX Global Collaborative Network, covering January 2000 to December 2025, encompassing data from 168 global healthcare organizations. Patients aged 18 and above with endometrial cancer and comorbid obesity were identified and then stratified into two groups based on treatment with GLP1 agonists or not. The two groups were then propensity-matched based on age, ethnicity, medical comorbidities, and stage of cancer. Outcomes were assessed for five years from treatment initiation and included overall mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke; development of peritoneal, lymph node, and visceral metastases; sepsis, pancreatitis, and ED visits. Time-to-event analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox proportional hazards models. Results: After propensity matching, 6352 patients were included in each cohort with balanced baseline characteristics. Our analysis found that patients with endometrial cancer and comorbid obesity who received GLP-1 agonists had a significantly lower risk of overall mortality (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.39-0.51, p-value <0.001), development of peritoneal metastases (Risk Difference [RD]: -2.16%, 95% CI: -2.74% to -1.58%, p-value <0.001), nodal metastases (RD: -0.41%, 95% CI: -0.72% to -0.09%, p-value =0.01), visceral metastases (RD: -3.76%, 95% CI: -4.60% to -2.93%, p-value =0.01), and sepsis with and without shock (RD: -1.42%, 95% CI: -2.14% to -0.70%, p-value <0.001) compared to patients who did not receive GLP-1 agonists. There was no statistically significant difference in the rates of MI, ischemic stroke, ED visits, and pancreatitis between the two cohorts. Conclusions: In this large real-world analysis, patients with endometrial cancer and comorbid obesity who received GLP-1 agonists had lower rates of overall mortality; peritoneal, lymph node, and visceral metastases, and sepsis with or without shock. Additional longitudinal cohort studies are imperative to explore the associations between these agents and inform clinical practice guidelines in this patient population.

11502 Background: To report results from the open-label alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) cohort of the phase III APROMISS trial (NCT03016819) evaluating Catequentinib hydrochloride (AL3818), an oral multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in adults with advanced or metastatic ASPS. Methods: Adult patients with pathologic and molecularly confirmed advanced ASPS, either treatment-naive or previously treated (excluding cediranib), were enrolled in the open-label, non-randomized ASPS cohort of the phase III APROMISS trial conducted across the United States, Asia, and Europe. Catequentinib hydrochloride was administered orally at 12 mg once daily in 21-day cycles (14 days on/7 days off) until disease progression, toxicity, or death. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) assessed per RECIST by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) (predefined threshold: 31%). Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR) with a predefined target of =/>6 months, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: From July 2017 to August 2022, a total of 56 patients entered the trial; 56 patients were evaluable for the primary endpoint. Median (m-) age was 29.5 years (range: 18 – 66), with 24 female and 32 male. Best overall response included 1/56 complete response (1.8%), 14/56 partial responses (25.0%), 36/56 stable disease (64.3%), and 3/56 (5.4%) progressive disease. RECIST ORR by BICR was 26.8% (95% CI, 15.8–40.3); m-DOR was 22.57 months (95%CI: 10.38-NE). The study data was collected close to 8 years for all patients. mPFS was 18.33 months (95% CI, 14.19–23.13), with 6- and 12-month progression-free rates of 88.77% (95% CI, 76.68–94.79) and 65.54% (95% CI, 50.42–77.06), respectively. mOS was 59.27 months (95% CI, 44.09–NE), with 6- and 12-month overall survival rates of 94.64% (95% CI, 84.30–98.24) and 90.81% (95% CI, 79.30–96.08), respectively. Overall, 27/56 (48.2%) patients experienced grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events, most commonly diarrhea (50.0%), hypertension (44.6%), fatigue (37.5%), nausea (35.7%), and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (30.4%); one patient (1.8%) had a grade 5 event (respiratory failure). Conclusions: Catequentinib hydrochloride demonstrated meaningful antitumor activity and durable responses in adults with advanced ASPS. Despite the ORR of 26.8% slightly below the predefined 31% threshold, disease control was prolonged, with a m-DOR exceeding 22 months. Favorable PFS and OS outcomes, together with a manageable safety profile, support its clinical benefit in this ultra-rare sarcoma. Clinical trial information: NCT03016819 .

1056 Background: Resistance to HER2-directed therapies remains a major challenge in HER2-positiveMBC. In preclinical models, HER2+ tumors overexpress poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), and PARP inhibition induces apoptosis through NF-κB suppression even in the absence of pathogenic mutations in BRCA 1/2 . We evaluated the safety, efficacy, and translational correlates of niraparib combined with trastuzumab in patients (pts) with refractory HER2+ MBC. Methods: This open-label Phase 1b/2 trial (NCT03368729) enrolled pts with HER2+ MBC (IHC 3+ and/or FISH amplified), measurable disease, LVEF ≥50%, and progression on ≥1 prior HER2-targeted therapy; stable CNS disease was allowed. Pts with germline BRCA1/2 mutations or prior PARP inhibitor exposure were excluded. Niraparib 300 mg orally was administered on Days 1–21 of a 21-day cycle with trastuzumab 6 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks (loading dose 8 mg/kg on cycle 1). The Phase 2 portion used a Gehan/Simon two-stage design with early stopping for futility (P0=24%); ≥1 response among the first 20 patients triggered expansion to 40 patients. ORR was assessed by RECIST v1.1, meeting the primary endpoint and allowing response rate estimation with <7% standard error and a two-sided 95% exact CI width of 0.28. Gene expression profiling of paired tumor tissue and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was performed using the NanoString nCounter Tumor Signaling 360 panel at pretreatment compared to cycle 2. Results: Forty-six pts were enrolled (9/2019–2/2025); 41 were evaluable for response. Pts were heavily pretreated (median 3 prior regimens), including trastuzumab deruxtecan in 22 pts; 33% had brain metastases. Treatment-related adverse events were predominantly grade 1–2 and manageable. Clinical benefit rate (CBR) was 44% (18/41) including 1 complete response, 2 partial responses, and 15 stable disease. Eleven patients achieved disease control ≥ 6 months; 1 patient remained on treatment at data cutoff. Tumor profiling revealed enrichment of a B-cell–driven tertiary lymphoid structure signature with reduced hypoxia signaling in responders. Matched PBMC analyses demonstrated coordinated downregulation of interferon signaling, DNA damage response, metabolic activation, angiogenesis, and resistance pathways in clinical responders, whereas non-responders retained signatures of chronic stress and immune exhaustion. Conclusions: Niraparib plus trastuzumab demonstrated a favorable safety profile and durable clinical benefit in heavily pretreated HER2+ MBC. Integrated tumor and blood-based analyses identify immune-organized tumor microenvironments and systemic immune normalization as key correlates of prolonged response, supporting further investigation of PARP inhibition strategies. Clinical trial information: NCT03368729 .

10522 Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer mortality. While antiviral and metabolic therapies have reduced incidence, scalable pharmacologic strategies for primary prevention (PP) remain a critical unmet need. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have demonstrated preclinical antitumor activity and the potential to mitigate hepatic lipotoxicity while promoting metabolic reprogramming to stabilize cirrhosis. However, while chemoprevention signals are observed in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and type 2 diabetes, the efficacy of GLP-1RAs for PP across diverse liver disease etiologies remains underexplored. To address this gap, we conducted a global, multicenter analysis on the efficacy and safety of GLP-1RAs for the PP of HCC in a pan-etiology high-risk cohort. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the TriNetX database (150M patients across 108 health organizations). Adults 18–90 years at elevated HCC risk with ≥ 1 risk factor (chronic viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, MASLD, alcohol use disorder, or hereditary liver disorders) were identified. Cohort A (≥3 months of GLP-1RA) was propensity score-matched 1:1 with Cohort B (non-users) on demographics, HbA1c, BMI, and MELD-Na scores. The primary endpoint was incident HCC, and secondary endpoints were incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) side effects. We employed a 3-month lag period to mitigate immortal time bias. Time-to-event outcomes were assessed via Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards models. Sensitivity & subgroup analyses were performed to confirm robustness across non-metabolic etiologies. Results: After matching, 592,718 patients were analyzed (296,359 per cohort). Median follow-up was 2,450 days for GLP-1RA users vs 2,114 days for non-users. GLP-1RA use was associated with a 73% reduction in incident HCC (140/296,345 events vs 432/296,198) [HR 0.271 (0.224-0.328)], (NNT=1,015). Notably, the protective effect was most pronounced in non-diabetics [HR 0.179 (0.140-0.229)] and lean patients (BMI < 29) [HR 0.161 (0.103-0.252)]. Risk reductions were sustained across all etiologies, including alcohol liver disease (HR 0.379), cirrhosis (HR 0.456), chronic viral hepatitis (HR 0.477), and MASLD (HR 0.605). GLP-1RA use was associated with a significant increase in GI adverse events. Conclusions: GLP-1RA use was associated with a 73% reduction in incident HCC, consistent across subgroups. The enhanced benefit in non-diabetic and lean cohorts suggests a direct anti-neoplastic mechanism independent of weight loss or glycemic control. The NNT of 1,015 highlights the substantial public health impact of GLP-1RA therapy in preventing a high-mortality malignancy. These findings warrant prospective validation.

10520 Background: Therapeutic options for breast cancer (BC) prevention for high-risk women remain limited, and not all eligible patients opt for endocrine therapy due to concerns related to adverse events (AEs). GLP1RAs are widely used for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus; their role in BC primary prevention (PP) in high-risk women with obesity has not been evaluated. Methods: Using the TriNetX Global Network (150 million patients, 108 organizations), we analyzed de-identified records of high-risk women aged 18–90 years with a BMI ≥ 30 who had health care encounters between January 1, 2000, and January 1, 2025, identified via ICD-10 codes. High risk was defined as at least one of the following: genetic predisposition to BC, family history of BC, atypical ductal hyperplasia, atypical lobular hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ, or dense breasts. Patients were grouped as having GLP1-RA use or no GLP-1RA use. Patients with a prior history of BC or use of endocrine therapy were excluded. GLP-1RA users were propensity score-matched 1:1 with non-users based on demographics, comorbidities, social determinants of health, lifestyle factors, BMI, HbA1c, and prior breast imaging. Incident BC served as the primary endpoint, with key AEs as secondary measures. Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards models were utilized to assess outcomes, which were further validated through subgroup and sensitivity analyses. Results: Among 80,480 high-risk women with a BMI ≥ 30, 46,581 were assigned to each cohort. Baseline demographics were balanced between cohorts (mean age: 46 years, 70% White, 21% Black). Median follow-up was 2,790 vs 2,630 days for GLP-1RA users and non-users, respectively. BC incidence was 2.95% in GLP-1RA users (1,164/39,495 cases) vs 3.01% in non-users (1,200/39,057 cases) (3.27 vs. 3.57 cases per 1,000 person-years; HR 0.844; 95% CI, 0.779–0.915). GLP-1RA users exhibited an increased risk of endometrial cancer (HR 1.273; 95% CI, 1.088–1.491) and osteoporosis (HR 1.124; 95% CI, 1.054–1.199). No significant association was observed for venous thromboembolism. Gastrointestinal AEs were significantly higher in the GLP-1RA cohort. Conclusions: GLP-1RA use was associated with a modest reduction in BC incidence among high-risk women with obesity in this real-world study. Prospective randomized trials are needed to validate these associations.

10507 Background: Despite advances in understanding leukemogenesis, no validated primary prevention strategies exist. Obesity is a dose-dependent risk factor for leukemia. Emerging data implicate epigenetic regulators, specifically the histone methyltransferase GLP (EHMT1), as a driver of leukemic survival; its inhibition induces cell death in CLL and promotes differentiation in AML. We present the first real-world analysis evaluating GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) for the primary prevention of leukemia in high-risk populations. Methods: Using the TriNetX global research network (150 million patients across 108 healthcare organizations), we identified adults at elevated leukemia risk based on ≥1 factor (prior chemo/radiation, MDS, MPN, family history, genetic syndromes, tobacco use, or BMI ≥30). Patients with ≥2 months of GLP-1RA use were propensity-matched 1:1 to non-users by demographics, comorbidities, and prior chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was the incidence of ALL, AML, CLL, or CML; secondary endpoints were adverse events related to GLP-1RA. Individuals with pre-existing leukemia were excluded. Cox proportional hazards models and sensitivity analyses were used to assess associations. Sensitivity and subgroup analysis confirmed robustness. Results: Of 426,670 high-risk individuals, 213,335 were matched to each cohort; standardized mean differences were <0.1 for all covariates. Across >1.2 million person-years of follow-up, GLP-1RA use was associated with a 63% risk reduction in incident AML (47/213,300 vs 75/213,261; HR 0.37, 95% CI 0.26–0.53; p < 0.001) and a 50% reduction in ALL (42/213,304 vs 53/213,277; HR 0.50, 95% CI 0.33–0.75; p = 0.001). The protective effect for AML remained significant when restricted to patients with prior chemotherapy exposure and was independent of baseline BMI. No significant reductions were observed for CML or CLL. While GI adverse events were higher in the GLP-1RA cohort, the protective signal was consistent across age and ethnic subgroups. Conclusions: This is the first large-scale study to demonstrate a significant reduction in incident AML and ALL using GLP-1 receptor agonists in high-risk patients. By linking clinical metabolic intervention to the EHMT1 epigenetic pathway, these findings provide a novel, scalable pharmacologic strategy for the primary prevention of acute leukemias, potentially transforming the management of high-risk and obese populations.
