253 Background: The aim of this prospective early-access program (EAP) was to monitor acute and long-term safety of Ra-223 CL2. The ALSYMPCA RA-223 phase III trial was completed prior to abiraterone (Abi) and enzalutamide (Enza) approval. Herein we provide experience with RA-223 in relationship to Abi and Enza. Methods: Symptomatic bone metastatic CRPC pts in the US who were ineligible for or had prior docetaxel were enrolled. Treatment included Ra-223 50 kBq/kg IV q4weeks for 6 cycles concomitant with standard of care medications. Analyses were conducted to assess safety and overall survival (OS) in pts with prior and concurrent Abi and Enza. Results: Of 184 treated, 120 (65%) had prior and 35 (19%) pts had concurrent Abi; 59 (32%) had prior and 25 (14%) pts had concurrent Enza. Baseline characteristics were generally balanced in the overall and across prior and concurrent groups. Pts with no concurrent Abi or Enza had a similar OS to the overall group (Abi 16m, Enza 17m, overall 17m). Due to a small number of events (7 Abi, 6 Enza), a median value was not calculated for the concurrent groups. 8 deaths occurred during treatment none were related to RA-223. The rate of Grade 3-5 AEs was similar across concurrent (Abi 37%, Enza 36%) and prior groups (Abi 43%, Enza 42%) vs overall 41%. Most frequently occurring Gr 3-4 events were anemia (Abi 17%, Enza 8%, overall 11%), thrombocytopenia (Abi 6%, overall 3%), and back pain (Enza 8%, overall 4%). Conclusions: In this EAP, Ra-223 concurrently administered with either abiraterone or enzalutamide was safe and well tolerated adding important information on concurrent use of RA-223 and hormonal agents. Clinical trial information: NCT01516762. [Table: see text]

Ipilimumab (IPI) provides a ten-year overall survival in almost 20 % of selected patients participated in several phase II-III trials. However, the expanded access program (EAP) looks more like routine practice than like clinical trials& This is why the results of such application could be different. Here we present the long-term follow-up data of single center EAP. Ninety-six patients with disseminated melanoma progressing after at least one lines of drug therapy were included at the N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Center of Oncology. Sixty-seven (70 %) patients had stage IV M1c, 35 patients (36 %) had elevated LDH before initiating IPI therapy. All patients received IPI 3 mg / kg IV every 3 weeks for a maximum of 4 cycles. Totally, 320 cycles (mean - 3.3 per patient) were conducted. Grade 3-4 immuno-mediated adverse events (imAE) observed in 18 (19 %) patients. Three patients died of adverse events, possibly associated with ongoing therapy. The median time to progression was 3 (95 % CI, 2.4 to 3.5) mo., the median overall survival was 13 (95 % CI, 8.3 to17.6) mo. Previous immunotherapy with dendritic cell vaccines decreased the risk of death by 48 % (Log-rank p = 0.049). The wild type BRAF status increased three-year overall survival from 29 to 68 % (p = 0.042). Our data confirms long-term safety and efficacy of IPI in patients with pretreated disseminated melanoma in the close to real practice setting.

Introduction: We report on the results of the German early access program (EAP) with the third-generation ALK- and ROS1-inhibitor lorlatinib. Patients and Methods: Patients with documented treatment failure of all approved ALK/ROS1-specific therapies or with resistance mutations not covered by approved inhibitors or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis were enrolled and analyzed. Results: In total, 52 patients were included [median age 57 years (range 32–81), 54% female, 62% never smokers, 98% adenocarcinoma]; 71% and 29% were ALK- and ROS1-positive, respectively. G1202R and G2032R resistance mutations prior to treatment with lorlatinib were observed in 10 of 26 evaluable patients (39%), 11 of 39 patients showed TP53 mutations (28%). Thirty-six patients (69%) had active brain metastases (BM) and nine (17%) leptomeningeal carcinomatosis when entering the EAP. Median number of prior specific TKIs was 3 (range 1–4). Median duration of treatment, progression-free survival (PFS), response rate and time to treatment failure were 10.4 months, 8.0 months, 54% and 13.0 months. Calculated 12-, 18- and 24-months survival rates were 65, 54 and 47%, overall survival since primary diagnosis (OS2) reached 79.6 months. TP53 mutations were associated with a substantially reduced PFS (3.7 versus 10.8 month, HR 3.3, p = 0.003) and were also identified as a strong prognostic biomarker (HR for OS2 3.0 p = 0.02). Neither prior treatments with second-generation TKIs nor BM had a significant influence on PFS and OS. Conclusions: Our data from real-life practice demonstrate the efficacy of lorlatinib in mostly heavily pretreated patients, providing a clinically meaningful option for patients with resistance mutations not covered by other targeted therapies and those with BM or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis.
