393 Background: Clinicopathological features and the outcomes of patients with fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLHCC) are not clearly defined. Methods: Data were collected by retrospective chart review on 42 patients with FLHCC treated between 1990 and 2017 at the Mayo Clinic. Clinicopathological characteristics, response to treatment, recurrence pattern and survival were analyzed. Results: Of 42 patients (17 males and 25 females; median age at diagnosis 22 years, range 15 to 39), 10 patients (23%) had stage I disease and 32 patients (77%) had stage II to IVB disease. All 10 patients with stage I disease and 21 of 32 patients with stage II-IVB disease underwent resection at presentation. In stage I patient group, 6 patients experienced recurrence with a median time to recurrence of 30.5 months, resulting in a 5 year overall survival (OS) of 86%. Patients with stage II to IVB disease who underwent resection (n=21) at presentation had a median OS of 32.5 months and 5 year OS of 44%. In the upfront surgery group, 71% of the patients experienced recurrent disease. The median OS of patients with unresectable disease (n=11) was 10 months. Systemic therapy was given to 17 patients which included sorafenib, FOLFOX (5-fluorouracil/leucovorin and oxaliplatin), gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin, single agent adriamycin or gemcitabine, capecitabine plus interferon alfa, gemcitabine plus cisplatin, cisplatin plus adriamycin and nivolumab . Sorafenib was given to 9 patients and 4 patients achieved stable disease (SD) with duration ranging from 5 months to 5 years. One programmed cell death receptor positive-1 patient had a durable complete response after 2 months of therapy with nivolumab. Conclusions: In FLHCC, surgical resection was associated with prolonged OS. However, recurrences were common after the surgery. Limited benefit was derived from the systemic treatment. In rare cases, therapy with a checkpoint inhibitor may provide a viable treatment option.

291 Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) has limited treatment options. Genomic analyses have led to development of targeted therapies now in clinical trials, and may enable discovery of new treatment options. However, biopsy often yields limited tissue, thus hampering tissue-based profiling opportunities. Comparative data regarding circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis and tissue based profiling in CCA are limited. Methods: We performed ctDNA NGS analysis along with tissue based profiling in pts with advanced CCA (January 2015- February 2018). ctDNA analysis was performed using Guardant 360 (Guardant Health, CA) which detects single nucleotide variants, amplifications, fusions, and specific insertion/deletion mutations in up to 73 different genes and the majority of tissue based profiling using Foundation One. The mutant allele fraction (MAF) for detected alterations was calculated relative to wild type in ctDNA. Therapeutic relevance was defined as alterations within OncoKB levels 1-3B and R1. The study was conducted in accordance with Mayo Clinic IRB requirements. Results: Among 124 pts and 139 total samples, ctDNA NGS revealed at least one genomic alteration (excluding variants of uncertain significance and synonymous mutations) in 89% of pts. Median number of alterations per pt was 3 [range, 1-15], with a median MAF of 0.42% (range, 0.1% - 94.2%). The total number of unique alterations was 321. The most commonly altered genes: TP53 (31%), KRAS (11%), FGFR2 (7%), APC and PIK3CA (each 5%) and ARID1A (3%). Amplifications were noted in 14 genes: BRAF, CCND1, CCND2, CCNE1, CDK4, CDK6, EGFR, ERBB2, FGFR1, FGFR2, MET, MYC, PDGFRA, and PIK3CA. Tissue-based profiling was available in 57 (46%) pts, with a median of 63 days between liquid and tissue biopsy. IDH1, FGFR2, TP53 and KRAS were most common gene mutations found in pts who had both liquid and tissue biopsy done. (Comparative results to be shown). Conclusions: ctDNA plasma profiling of pts with advanced CCA is a feasible alternative method to gather comprehensive genomic data. Further larger cohort studies comparing landscape of alterations seen on ctDNA versus tissue-based assays are needed.

289 Background: PDAC has limited treatment options. Genomic analyses have led to development of targeted therapies now in several clinical trials, and may enable the discovery of new treatment options. However, biopsy often yields limited tissue, thus hampering tissue-based profiling opportunities. Data regarding circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) profiling in PDAC during real time clinical practice is limited. Methods: We performed ctDNA NGS analysis in pts with advanced PDAC (December 2014–August 2018). ctDNA analysis was performed using Guardant 360 (Guardant Health, CA), which detects single nucleotide variants, amplifications, fusions, and specific insertion/deletion mutations in up to 73 different genes. The mutant allele fraction (MAF) for detected alterations was calculated relative to wild type in ctDNA. Therapeutic relevance (TR) was defined as possible treatments within OncoKB levels 1-3B and R1. The study was conducted in accordance with Mayo Clinic Institutional Review Board requirements. Results: Among 171 pts and 206 total samples, ctDNA NGS revealed at least one genomic alteration in 150 pts (88%). Median number of alterations per patient was 3 [range, 1-15]. The total number of unique alterations was 450 with the most commonly altered genes being: TP53 (181 alterations, 40%), followed by KRAS (118 alterations, 26%), CDKN2A (23 alterations, 5%), SMAD4 (15 alterations, 3%), EGFR (11 alterations, 2.4%), PIK3CA (9 alterations, 2%), GNAS (8 alterations, 1.5%). Amplifications were noted in 16 genes, including BRAF, CCND2, CCNE1, CDK4, CDK6, EGFR, ERBB2, FGFR1, FGFR2, KIT, KRAS, MET, MYC, PDGFRA, PIK3CA and RAF1. Therapeutically relevant alterations were seen in 95 pts of the 150 pts (63%). Tissue based profiling (Results to be shown) was done in 56 (33%) pts of total 171 pts with a median of 130 days between ctDNA and tissue biopsy. KRAS and TP53 were the most common gene mutations found in patients with both liquid and tissue biopsy results. Conclusions: ctDNA plasma profiling of pts with advanced PDAC is a feasible alternative method to gather comprehensive genomic data.
Landscape of germline mutations in hepatobiliary carcinoma: Unrealized risk, untapped clinical trial opportunities.

Journal of Clinical Oncology | January 29, 2019 | Volume: 37 | Issue: 4_suppl | Pages: 236-236

236 Background: Hepatobiliary cancer (HBC), including cholangiocarcinoma, affects over 40,000 people in the U.S. each year, and results in over 30,000 cancer deaths annually. Despite continuing advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS), the understanding of germline genetic risk as it relates to these malignancies remains limited, and guidelines for the germline testing of these patients are lacking. We report the spectrum of pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) germline genetic variants observed in patients with HBC, and the clinical utility related to germline genetic test results. Methods: We retrospectively studied a consecutive series of 267 patients referred to Invitae for germline genetic testing based on a personal history of HBC, per an IRB approved protocol. Patients were evaluated with a multigene panel of up to 135 genes chosen by the ordering providers. De-identified clinical and family history information were reviewed as provided by clinicians. Results: Among 267 HBC patients 15% (n = 41) had P/LP variants identified in genes including MUTYH, ATM, CHEK2, BAP1, BRCA1, MLH1, BRCA2, PALB2, TP53, APC, CDH1, MSH6, and PMS2 (12% excluding MUTYH heterozygotes). Amongst patients with a family history (FH) of HBC, P/LP rate was 13%; for patients with a FH of cancers other than HBC, P/LP rate was 16%; for patients with no reported FH, P/LP rate was 13%. Conclusions: In this study, 15% of HBC patients had P/LP variants in cancer-risk genes. The clinical utility of these germline P/LP variants includes 32% of patients who were eligible for ongoing clinical treatment trials based on their germline test results (NCT02286687), 60% with clinical management recommendations per current NCCN guidelines, and cascade testing of at risk family members. These data justify comprehensive germline multigene panel testing in all HBC patients, in view of the potential impact on clinical management for a substantial fraction of positive patients as well as facilitating cascade testing for risk assessment of family members.

TPS545 Background: Advanced cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is a life-threatening disease with limited effective chemotherapy options. Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (mIDH1) occur in 13–15% of CC cases, and up to 25% of intrahepatic CC cases, leading to epigenetic and genetic changes that promote oncogenesis via production of the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). AG-120 (ivosidenib), a first-in-class oral mIDH1 inhibitor, displayed a favorable safety profile and clinical activity in a phase 1 study enrolling 73 mIDH1 CC patients who had received ≥1 prior systemic regimen. As of 10 Mar 2017, 4/73 (5%) had a partial response and 41/73 (56%) stable disease. Progression free survival (PFS) rates at 6 months and 12 months were 38.5% and 20.7%, respectively. The 500 mg once daily dose level of AG-120 was selected for further development in mIDH1 CC. Methods: ClarIDHy is a global, phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, randomized (2:1) study of AG-120 (500 mg once daily) vs. matched placebo in 186 mIDH1 CC patients (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02989857). Key eligibility criteria: non-resectable or metastatic CC, documented mIDH1 by central laboratory testing, ECOG performance status 0–1, measurable disease (RECIST v1.1), documented disease progression after ≤2 prior systemic therapies in the advanced setting including at least 1 gemcitabine- or 5-fluorouracil-containing regimen, and no prior mIDH inhibitor therapy. Crossover from placebo to AG-120 will be allowed at time of radiographic disease progression. Primary endpoint: PFS assessed by independent radiologists. Secondary endpoints: safety, tolerability, overall response rate (RECIST 1.1), overall survival, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analyses, and quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BIL21 scales). An independent data monitoring committee will monitor the data during study conduct. The ClarIDHy study is currently activated at participating sites in the US, UK, EU, and S. Korea.

TPS543 Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is treated with CIS and GEM (CISGEM), but prognosis is poor. Hyaluronan (HA) accumulation in solid tumors may impede drug and immune cell access. PEGPH20 targets tumors that accumulate HA (HA-high). This study (NCT03267940) plans to enroll 70 subjects to evaluate the safety and activity of PEGPH20 + programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) agent atezolizumab, (PEGCISGEMATEZO), & PEGPH20 + CISGEM (PEGCISGEM) in HA-high subjects with CCA and gallbladder cancer. Study will comprise initial run-in and expansion portions. Primary endpoints include incidence of AEs and other laboratory/safety parameters and ORR (RECIST v1.1). Secondary endpoints include PK parameters; DOR, DCR, PFS, and ORR (RECIST v1.1 and immune-modified RECIST); and OS and OS by PD-L1 expression. Methods: ~6 HA-high subjects will be enrolled in PEGCISGEM arm run-in portion and undergo at ≥1 cycle; subsequently, 6 HA-high subjects will enter the PEGCISGEMATEZO arm. Treatment period will be 21-day cycles. In the expansion portion, ~50 HA-high subjects will be enrolled and randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio into PEGCISGEMATEZO, PEGCISGEM, and CISGEM arms. PEGPH20 is planned to be administered at 3.0 μg/kg on Days 1, 8 and 15 of all cycles in both portions. ATEZO will be administered at 1200 mg 1–3 hours after PEGPH20 on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle in the PEGCISGEMATEZO arm in both portions. In the PEGCISGEM & PEGCISGEMATEZO arms, dosing schedule for CISGEM is the same during both portions, with administration of 25 mg/m2 CIS and 1000 mg/m2 GEM on Days 2 and 9 of each cycle. In CISGEM control arm (expansion only), dosing schedule will be on Days 1 and 8 of each cycle. Treatment will continue until death, withdrawal of consent, disease progression, or unacceptable toxicity. Tumor response will be evaluated using RECIST v1.1. AEs will be graded per NCI CTCAE v4.03. Tumor samples will be tested retrospectively for PD-L1 expression. Safety data will be periodically monitored by an independent data monitoring committee. Clinical trial information: NCT03267940.
A pilot study of ponatinib in cholangiocarcinoma patients with FGFR2 fusions.

Journal of Clinical Oncology | January 2, 2019 | Volume: 36 | Issue: 4_suppl | Pages: TPS532-TPS532

10.1200/jco.2018.36.4_suppl.tps532

TPS532 Background: Recent studies have shown that FGFR2 fusions may represent recurrent (prevalence ~10-15% in larger cohorts) driver events amenable to therapeutic targeting in patients with advanced, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Methods: This single arm pilot study (NCT02265341) is being conducted at 3 centers (Mayo Clinic Arizona, Mayo Clinic Florida and Mayo Clinic Rochester; enrollment initiated December 2014). Next-generation sequencing based assays and a FISH-break apart assay are used to identify tumors with FGFR2 fusions. Patients must additionally have histologically/cytologically confirmed cholangiocarcinoma, ECOG performance score 0-2, measurable disease, preserved hematologic/renal and hepatic function and absence of cardiac events/stroke in the preceding 6 months. Ponatinib is administered at 45 mg once daily. Patients will be treated until disease progression, intolerable toxicity or patient decision to not pursue further therapy. The primary objective of the study is to estimate the clinical benefit rate (defined as composite of partial response rate, complete response rate and stable disease rate ≥ 4 months; as defined by RECIST criteria v1.1). Secondary endpoints include estimation of progression-free survival, overall survival, CA19-9 response rate (defined as > 50% reduction from baseline) and evaluation of the overall adverse event profile of ponatinib in this patient population. Translational objectives include serial circulating DNA (ct-DNA) monitoring, target knockdown assessments in tumor tissue (p-FGFR2, p-FRS2, p-Akt and p-ERK) and evaluation of mechanisms of resistance through comparison of baseline and progression biopsy samples using multi-platform sequencing (exome, RNA-Seq and methyl-Seq). Additionally, quality of life assessments will be evaluated using EORTC-QLQ-C30 and BIL21 tools. A total of 30 patients will be enrolled into the study (12 of 30 patients have been enrolled). The trial is designed using an underlying assumption of clinical benefit rate (CBR) of 5% with significance level of 0.15 and 80% power to detect a 20% CBR. Clinical trial information: NCT02265341.
A phase II pilot trial of nivolumab (N) + albumin bound paclitaxel (AP) + paricalcitol (P) + cisplatin (C) + gemcitabine (G) (NAPPCG) in patients with previously untreated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

358 Background: Effective therapy for the treatment of PDAC remains one of the greatest unmet oncology clinical needs. The addition of C to G and AP has shown promising clinical data in a previously reported study [J Clin Oncol 35, 2017 (suppl 4S; abstract 341)]. In preclinical work, vitamin D (Vit D) analog therapy decreases myeloid derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cells, turning PDAC into a more immune-friendly microenvironment. This trial combines AP/C/G with Vit D analog P and the anti-PD-1 antibody N as a combination therapy for patients with previously untreated metastatic PDAC. This trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of NAPPCG in that patient population (NCT02754726). Methods: Eligibility criteria include Stage IV PDAC, no prior chemotherapy for systemic disease, KPS ≥ 70, and measurable disease. Doses are AP 125 mg/m2 undiluted, G 1000 mg/m2 in 250 ml of normal saline (NS), each infused over 30 minutes with C 25 mg/ m2 in 500 ml of NS infused over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 22, and 29 of a 42-day cycle. N is given at a fixed dose of 240 mg as a 60 minute infusion on days 1, 15, and 29. P is given at a fixed dose of 25 µg IV twice weekly. Primary objective is to determine the efficacy of the combination for patients with previously untreated metastatic PDAC through determining CR, ORR, PFS, and OS. The secondary objective is to evaluate safety in patients with previously untreated metastatic PDAC. Results: Trial was initiated May 2016 and10 patients have been enrolled in the initial phase of the study and are evaluable (baseline and ≥1 follow up CT scan). Most common drug-related grade (Gr) 3-4 adverse events (AE’s), n = 10, are thrombocytopenia 100% (gr 3 = 50%, gr 4 = 50%) with no serious bleeding events, anemia 50% (gr 3 = 50%, gr 4 = 0%), and colitis 20% (gr 3 = 20%, gr 4 = 0%). By RECIST 1.1 criteria, the best response is 8 PR and 2 SD, yielding an 80% ORR. Median PFS is 8.2 months. Median OS has not been reached. Conclusions: Although a small study, the high response rate is encouraging. This regimen is being expanded to 25 patients with plans to include exploratory inflammatory biomarkers. Clinical trial information: NCT02754726.
