Background/Objectives: Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy is an important option for patients with metastatic melanoma progressing after standard systemic therapy, but real-world data on treatment delivery, toxicity monitoring, and immune recovery remain limited. We evaluated clinical outcomes, treatment tolerance, immune reconstitution, and cardiac biomarker dynamics across three Mayo Clinic sites. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed adults with metastatic melanoma who received lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by TIL infusion and high-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) between April 2024 and December 2025. Clinical outcomes, treatment delivery, and adverse events were assessed. Longitudinal immune monitoring included CD4 and CD8 T-cell counts, CD4:CD8 ratio, and immunoglobulin G (IgG) at baseline and follow-up. In a prespecified cardiac sub-cohort, high-sensitivity troponin (hs-Tn) was measured during IL-2 administration to evaluate associations with cardiac events and IL-2 interruption. Results: Thirty-six patients underwent TIL infusion. The objective response rate was 50.0%, including complete responses in 13.9%, and the disease control rate was 72.2%. Median progression-free survival was 3.61 months, and median overall survival was 12.94 months. M1d disease was associated with inferior overall survival on univariable analysis (HR 6.55, 95% CI 2.03–21.17; p = 0.002), with attenuation after multivariable adjustment. Receipt of ≥3 IL-2 doses was associated with longer overall survival on univariable analysis (HR 0.20, 95% CI 0.06–0.64; p = 0.007), but this association also attenuated after adjustment. Longitudinal immune monitoring demonstrated persistent CD4 lymphopenia through 6 months, sustained inversion of the CD4:CD8 ratio, and declining IgG at months 3 and 6. In the cardiac sub-cohort (24 patients; 87 IL-2 doses), post-dose hs-Tn ≥15 ng/L was associated with clinically significant cardiac events (OR 9.6, 95% CI 1.5–60.6; p = 0.016) and IL-2 interruption (OR 3.4, 95% CI 1.1–10.7; p = 0.036). For cardiac events, hs-Tn ≥15 ng/L had 100% sensitivity and 100% negative predictive value. Conclusions: In routine practice, TIL therapy was feasible and active in metastatic melanoma. M1d disease identified a subgroup with poor survival, peri-dose hs-Tn showed promise as a tool to support safer IL-2 delivery, and prolonged CD4 suppression with IgG decline suggests that recovery after TIL therapy extends beyond initial hematologic reconstitution. These findings support prospective validation of biomarker-guided IL-2 monitoring and extended post-treatment immune surveillance.

TPS6126 Background: Oral cavity cancers (OCC) are a rare subtype of head and neck cancer (HNC) with poor outcomes and limited second-line treatment options in the recurrent or metastatic (R/M) setting. Treatment-related morbidity and repeated local recurrences in OCC result in significant impairment of function and quality of life. Rural OCC patients comprise a sizable portion (50%) of our practice and are usually of lower socioeconomic status with lack of access to specialist care. They also have multiple barriers to treatment access and ancillary services, translating to poorer clinical outcomes. There is a critical need for effective and accessible therapies for R/M OCC in rural patients. Triple oral metronomic chemotherapy (TOMC) with Methotrexate, Erlotinib and Celecoxib (MEC) suppresses angiogenesis and activates antitumor microenvironment in HNC. Studies using TOMC in R/M OCC outside the US show reasonable efficacy (6-month OS 52.9%), better safety and lower cost compared to standard second line options. We hypothesize that a decentralized clinical trial with TOMC in R/M OCC is feasible, safe and effective in addition to being economical and accessible for rural patients. Methods: MC240701 is a single institution, open label, decentralized, single arm pilot study of MEC in patients with R/M OCC. Eligible pts must be ≥18 years old, have pathologically confirmed R/M OCC not amenable to curative-intent therapy, ECOG 0-2 and adequate organ function. At least 1 measurable lesion by RECIST 1.1 OR non-measurable disease (evident mucosal lesions, CNS/bone disease, lesions not meeting RECIST criteria) is permitted. Patients must have received standard first line immunotherapy with or without chemotherapy OR should be unable/unwilling to receive first line treatment. Key exclusion criteria include patients unable to take pills by mouth, serious medical co-morbidity or autoimmune disease, immunocompromised patients and other active malignancy. Primary endpoint is to demonstrate feasibility of decentralized clinical trials, secondary outcomes include overall response rate, progression free and overall survival and toxicity. Additional goals are to evaluate patient impact of decentralized treatment through surveys and interviews After initial screening and evaluation, patients are remotely consented and will receive study drugs by mail. All patients will receive the same treatment of Methotrexate 9mg/m 2 PO weekly, Erlotinib 150 mg PO daily, and Celecoxib 200 mg PO BID, each cycle will be 28 days. Treatment will continue until disease progression or treatment tolerance, study duration is for 2 years. All subsequent clinical and laboratory monitoring and response assessments (every 3 cycles) will be remotely performed or have an option for local testing. Enrollment began July 2025 and 4 out of planned 25 patients have been accrued. FDA IND:174540. Clinical trial information: NCT06997068 .

e18026 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is part of standard of care first-line therapy for recurrent or metastatic (R/M) HNSCC. However, less than 20% of patients (CPS ≥1) have an objective response to ICI monotherapy, and most tumors progress within ~3 months. We sought to improve the proportion of patients who benefit from a chemotherapy-free regimen by combining intratumoral (IT) VV1 oncolytic virus (VSV-IFNβ-NIS) injections with the anti-PD-1 antibody, cemiplimab. We report a pre-planned analysis of Simon's stage 1 results. Methods: We activated a phase 2 study testing the efficacy of first line IT VV1 plus cemiplimab in 1 st line patients with R/M HNSCC. A Simon's two-stage design was employed whereby 10 patients would be accrued in stage 1, and if 3 or more responses were observed, 12 additional patients would be accrued for stage 2. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per investigator (RECIST 1.1). Eligible patients had untreated R/M HNSCC from primary oropharynx, oral cavity, hypopharynx, or larynx sites with CPS ≥1. Patients had to have at least one measurable lesion amenable to IT injection. Treatment comprised of IT injections to 1-5 lesions of oncolytic VV-1 virus and IV cemiplimab 350 mg on day 1, repeated every 21 days. Each lesion could be injected 3 times; a 4th injection was allowed if a partial response (PR) was achieved after 3 injections. Cemiplimab could be continued for up to 2 years until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: Patient and tumor characteristics, as well as efficacy and toxicity are summarized in the table below. Ten patients were treated at the time of Stage 1 analysis, with 3 showing a confirmed PR for ORR of 30%. Responder CPS scores were 45, 12 and 20%. Two of the responders subsequently showed progression after 6.2 and 9.9 months, the third has maintained PR at 7.7 months to date. Eight of 10 patients showed decrease in the sum of target lesion size (mean decrease of 16%; range -57 to 77%). One grade 2 event of ICI nephritis resolved with corticosteroid treatment. Conclusions: Three patients showed confirmed PR by RECIST 1.1 in Simon's stage 1, meeting criteria to proceed to Simon's stage 2. A total of 22 patients in the HNSCC will be enrolled. VV1 plus cemiplimab shows promise in first line R/M HNSCC based on these initial results. Clinical trial information: NCT04291105 . Patient demographics.

9557 Background: High-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) is administered following tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy, yet cardiotoxicity frequently limits dose delivery. The clinical significance of peri-dose troponin elevations during IL-2 remains poorly defined. We evaluated troponin kinetics during IL-2 dosing and their association with significant cardiac events and IL-2 interruption. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with metastatic melanoma treated with TIL therapy followed by inpatient high-dose IL-2 at Mayo Clinic Rochester (N = 24; 87 IL-2 doses). High-sensitivity troponin and ECGs were obtained before and after each IL-2 dose. Clinically significant cardiac events were defined as QTc prolongation > 480 ms, arrhythmias (excluding isolated sinus tachycardia), new ECG abnormalities, vasopressor requirement, or cardiology consultation. Dose-level outcomes included cardiac events and subsequent IL-2 dose interruption. Paired troponin changes were assessed using Wilcoxon signed-rank testing. Dose-level associations were evaluated using clustered logistic regression to account for repeated IL-2 doses within patients. Results: 24 patients received 87 IL-2 doses (median 3 [IQR 2 - 5]). Median age was 63 years (IQR 54 - 70), and 58% were male. Baseline troponin median was 11 ng/L (IQR 6 - 21); 38% had baseline troponin > 14 ng/L. Post-dose troponin exceeded 14 ng/L in 16/24 patients (67%) and 48/87 doses (52%). Median delta troponin was 0 ng/L (IQR −1 to 6; range −24 to 133), with post-dose levels higher than pre-dose values ( p = 0.02). Clinically significant cardiac events occurred in 33% of patients; no post-IL-2 reductions in left ventricular ejection fraction were observed. At the dose level, cardiac events occurred only when post-dose troponin exceeded 14 ng/L (15/48 [31%] vs 0/39 doses; p < 0.001). In clustered logistic regression, post-dose troponin ≥15 ng/L was independently associated with cardiac events (OR 9.6, 95% CI 1.5 - 60.6; p = 0.02) and subsequent IL-2 dose interruption (OR 3.4, 95% CI 1.1 - 10.7; p = 0.04). When modeled continuously, each 1-unit increase in log-transformed post-dose troponin was associated with higher odds of cardiac events (OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.6 - 6.7; p = 0.001) and IL-2 interruption (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.6 - 4.9; p < 0.001). Baseline troponin correlated with peak post-dose troponin (ρ = 0.44, p = 0.04). Conclusions: Peri-dose troponin elevations are common during post-TIL high-dose IL-2; however, higher post-dose troponin independently identifies clinically significant cardiac toxicity and predicts IL-2 interruption after accounting for repeated dosing within patients. Baseline troponin modestly predicts peak elevations, supporting standardized, risk-stratified troponin monitoring and prospective evaluation of toxicity-adaptive IL-2 delivery strategies in TIL therapy.

6123 Background: Pemetrexed (PTX) is safe and tolerable with responses reported in pts with R/M SGC. 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 adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). Methods: MC200708 is a single arm phase II study of PTX and PMB in pts with R/M SGC (NCT04895735) with 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) for Cohort A but was amended to clinical benefit rate (CBR=SD+PR+CR) due to prolonged SD in several pts. Secondary endpoints: progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicity. Exploratory analyses in Cohort A1 (post-amendment pts) included PSMA PET imaging and circulating PSMA extravesicles (EVs) as a biomarker. All pts received PTX 500 mg/m2 IV + PMB 200 mg IV q3 weeks until progression or treatment intolerance. Imaging was q3 cycles. Results: 20 pts (11 Cohort A + 9 Cohort A1) were enrolled from August 2021-Feb 2025. All 20 patients were eligible and received ≥ 1 cycle of treatment. Median age was 60.5 yrs, 50% male, performance status 0 (80%) or 1 (20%). 11 pts had no prior therapies (55.0%). The remaining pts had 1 (35%) or 2 (10%) prior lines of therapy. 75% of pts had no prior ICI. In Cohort A, the ORR was 0% (0 of 11). Cohort A1 met criteria for success based on CBR with 1 PR (12.5%) and 5 SD (62.5%) in the first 8 pts. For the whole cohort of 20 patients, the ORR was 5% (95% CI: 0.1-24.9) and the CBR rate was 75% (95% CI: 51-91) with 1 PR and 14 pts with SD. The duration of response for the 1 PR patient was 12.4 months. The median duration of response for the 15 pts with SD was 7.5 (2.0-29.7) months. 3 pts (15%) had PD and 2 pts (10%) went off prior to response assessment. Median cycles of treatment was 4 (2-30). In the 17 pts who discontinued, treatment was stopped in 9 (53%) for PD, 4 (23.5%) due to adverse events (AE), and 4 (23.5%) due to physician/patient preference. With a median follow-up of 14.5 months (1.5-39.2), the 1-year PFS rate is 52.1% (32.6 – 83.2%) and the OS rate is 82.1% (95% CI: 65.6 – 100%). The overall grade 3+ AE rate regardless of attribution was 80% (16/20). The most common grade 3 AEs were lymphocyte count decrease (40%), hypertension (20%), fatigue (10%), and pneumonitis (10%). 2 pts had a grade 4 AE (lymphocyte count decrease and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura). There were no treatment-related deaths. Analysis of correlative studies for Cohort A1 with PSMA imaging and EV biomarker ongoing. Conclusions: PTX and PMB has modest activity in pts with R/M ACC with CBR of 75% and prolonged benefit for some patients. Clinical trial information: NCT04895735 .

Management of locoregionally advanced human papillomavirus-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV(+) OPSCC) can include induction chemotherapy followed by definitive chemoradiation. The standard induction regimen of cisplatin, docetaxel, and 5-fluorouracil (TPF) is associated with high toxicity. Given the chemosensitivity of HPV(+) OPSCC, platinum doublets are frequently used as induction therapy with potentially less toxicity. This retrospective study aimed to compare outcomes between treatment-naive HPV(+) OPSCC patients receiving induction TPF and those receiving an induction platinum doublet. Data collected included tumor characteristics, response after chemoradiation, hospitalization rates, and overall survival (OS). Fifty-five patients (18 TPF and 37 platinum doublet) were included. There was no significant difference in response after completion of definitive chemoradiation (TPF: CR 83.3%, PR 5.6%, progression or metastasis 11.1% vs. platinum doublet: CR 75.7%, PR 16.2%, progression or metastasis 8.1%; p = 0.5241). There were also no differences in hospitalizations for adverse events (38.9% in TPF vs. 40.5% in platinum doublet, p = 0.907) or recurrence (11.1% in TPF vs. 2.7% in platinum doublet, p = 0.198). The 5-year OS was 84.6% in the TPF group and 81.5% in the platinum doublet group (p = 0.581). Induction platinum doublet regimens offer comparable OS, response, and hospitalization rates to TPF in locally advanced HPV(+) OPSCC. Induction with a platinum doublet may be a viable de-escalation strategy for patients who are not candidates for TPF.

IMPORTANCE Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy has high rates of pathologic response and improved prognosis among solid tumors. Its role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains understudied. OBJECTIVE To summarize the efficacy associated with neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy regimens in HNSCC and to compare the efficacy associated with neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy vs immunotherapy alone in locoregionally advanced resectable HNSCC prior to definitive surgery. DATA SOURCES A librarian-led systematic review was conducted using multiple electronic databases, including Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Scopus, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Databases were queried from inception to October 2024. STUDY SELECTION Inclusion criteria included prospective interventional trials that have completed accrual, with results published in English. Only trials of resectable, treatment-naive HNSCC were included. Exclusion criteria included lack of reporting on pathologic response or Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 response. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Two investigators independently conducted title, abstract, and full-text reviews per PRISMA guidelines. Primary outcomes extracted were major pathologic response (MPR) and complete pathologic response (CPR) at surgery and complete response (CR) on imaging by RECIST 1.1. Secondary outcomes included 1-year overall survival (OS) and toxic effects. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES A meta-analysis was performed using a binary random-effects model to determine the pooled proportion of primary outcomes in the immunotherapy and chemoimmunotherapy groups. Heterogeneity was reported as I 2 . RESULTS A total of 751 patients (502 [77%] male; age range, 27-87 years) across 23 studies were included in the meta-analysis, including 357 patients (47%) who underwent chemoimmunotherapy, 102 patients (14%) who underwent dual-agent immunotherapy, and 292 patients (39%) who underwent single-agent immunotherapy. Pooled rates of MPR plus CPR were 66% (95% CI, 58%-73%; I 2 = 0.59) for chemoimmunotherapy, 18% (95% CI, 6%-29%; I 2 = 0.65) for dual-agent immunotherapy, and 6% (95% CI, 3%-9%; I 2 &amp;lt; 0.01) for single-agent immunotherapy. Across all groups, 1-year OS rates ranged from 88% to 96% for single-agent immunotherapy, 88% to 96% for dual-agent immunotherapy, and 88% to 100% for chemoimmunotherapy. Grade 3 to 5 adverse events were reported in 61 of 210 patients (29%), 2 of 67 patients (3.0%), and 36 of 210 patients (17%) among the reporting studies in the single-agent immunotherapy, dual-agent immunotherapy, and chemoimmunotherapy groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE These findings suggest that neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy regimens were associated with higher pathologic and radiographic response rates compared with immunotherapy alone in locoregionally advanced HNSCC. These results call for phase 3 trials comparing these neoadjuvant regimens head to head.

Caudal type homeobox 2 (CDX2) is an intestine-specific transcription factor that serves as a diagnostic marker of enteric differentiation and may also reflect tumor behavior and therapeutic susceptibility. Emerging evidence suggests that CDX2 expression may predict sensitivity to fluoropyrimidine-based therapy independent of tissue of origin. We report a retrospective case series of three patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma (aggressive variant prostate, minor salivary gland, and intestinal-type sinonasal tract) exhibiting strong CDX2 nuclear expression. In all cases, tumors were refractory to or lacked established standard systemic therapy. Treatment decisions were informed by the CDX2-positive enteric phenotype, leading to the initiation of fluoropyrimidine-based regimens. Response was assessed using PET-CT and MRI. All three patients achieved marked metabolic and clinical responses, including a sustained complete metabolic response in the prostate cancer case and durable disease control in the salivary gland and sinonasal tumors. These findings highlight CDX2 as a potential biomarker requiring validation, which may identify tumors intrinsically susceptible to fluoropyrimidines regardless of anatomical origin. CDX2 immunohistochemistry is widely available and inexpensive, and may complement genomic profiling in rare malignancies or in settings where standard treatment algorithms are limited. This report is hypothesis-generating and not intended to estimate response rates or treatment efficacy.

e18031 Background: HPV+ OPSCC has better outcomes than HPV negative OPSCC but more distant metastatic potential. ICM in HPV+ OPSCC are rare. Data regarding risk factors, clinical presentation and outcomes after ICM diagnosis is limited. This study describes clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients (pts) with HPV+ OPSCC who develop ICM. Methods: Retrospective analysis of pts with HPV+ OPSCC and ICM between 2010 - 2024. Demographic, clinicopathologic, and survival data was collected. Skull base recurrences were excluded. Univariate and multivariate analyses used Cox proportional hazard models; continuous variables binarized by receiver operator curves. Survival assessed via Kaplan-Meier method; reported as median (95% CI). Calculations use BlueSky (v10.3.1). Results: Among 1,999 pts with HPV+ OPSCC, 16 (0.8%) had ICM. Pt characteristics and treatment are summarized in Table 1. Primary tumor sites were base of tongue (56%), tonsil (38%), and unknown (13%). Most pts (n=8, 50%) presented with stage IV disease (6 extracranial metastasis (ECM), 1 ICM only, 1 both). Frontal and parietal lobes were the most frequent ICM sites. Neurological symptoms were present in 10 (62%) pts; ICM was incidentally found in 6 (38%) pts. Median overall survival (mOS) from initial diagnosis was 34 months (21 – not reached) and median time from diagnosis to ICM was 24 months (range 1-112). mOS following ICM detection was 10.9 months (4 -18). On multivariate analysis, only surgical resection (hazard ratio [HR] 0.03, p<0.01) and radiotherapy (HR 0.01, p<0.02) were independently associated with post-ICM survival. With median follow up of 100 months, 14 pts (88%) had died; 2 (12%) were alive. Conclusions: ICM from HPV+ OPSCC are rare but devastating with a mOS <1 year from detection. Most pts were symptomatic, had de novo metastatic disease, and had other sites of metastases. Surgical resection and radiation were associated with improved OS. Multicenter efforts to investigate predictors, multiomic sequencing and identification of pt subsets who may benefit from ICM screening are warranted.

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.
