Abstract Objectives Guidelines for treatment of mRCC recommend nivolumab monotherapy (NIVO) for treated patients, and nivolumab plus ipilimumab combination therapy (NIVO+IPI) for untreated IMDC intermediate and poor-risk mRCC patients. Although molecular-targeted therapies (TTs) such as VEGFR-TKIs and mTORi are recommended as subsequent therapy after NIVO or NIVO+IPI, their efficacy and safety remain unclear. Methods Outcome of Japanese patients with mRCC who received TT after NIVO (CheckMate 025) or NIVO+IPI (CheckMate 214) were retrospectively analyzed. Primary endpoints were investigator-assessed ORR of the first TT after either NIVO or NIVO+IPI. Secondary endpoints included TFS, PFS, OS and safety of TTs. Results Twenty six patients in CheckMate 025 and 19 patients in CheckMate 214 from 20 centers in Japan were analyzed. As the first subsequent TT after NIVO or NIVO+IPI, axitinib was the most frequently treated regimen for both CheckMate 025 (54%) and CheckMate 214 (47%) patients. The ORRs of TT after NIVO and NIVO+IPI were 27 and 32% (all risks), and median PFSs were 8.9 and 16.3 months, respectively. During the treatment of first TT after either NIVO or NIVO+IPI, 98% of patients experienced treatment-related adverse events, including grade 3–4 events in 51% of patients, and no treatment-related deaths occurred. Conclusions TTs have favorable antitumor activity in patients with mRCC after ICI, possibly via changing the mechanism of action. Safety signals of TTs after ICI were similar to previous reports. These results indicate that sequential TTs after ICI may contribute for long survival benefit.

677 Background: Guidelines for treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) recommend nivolumab monotherapy (NIVO) for treated mRCC, and nivolumab + ipilimumab combination therapy (NIVO+IPI) for untreated IMDC intermediate and poor risk mRCC patients. Though molecular targeted therapies (TTs) such as VEGFR-TKIs and mTORi are recommended as subsequent therapy after NIVO or NIVO+IPI, their impact is still unclear. Methods: Japanese mRCC patients treated with TT after NIVO (CheckMate 025) or NIVO+IPI (CheckMate 214) were retrospectively analyzed. Primary endpoints were investigator assessed ORR of the first TT after NIVO, and after NIVO+IPI. Secondary endpoints included treatment-free survival (TFS) after discontinuation of NIVO and NIVO+IPI, and progression-free survival (PFS) and safety of the first subsequent TT after NIVO and NIVO+IPI. Results: Twenty-six patients of CheckMate 025 and 19 patients of CheckMate 214 from 20 centers in Japan were analyzed. Median TFS after ICI discontinuation was 1.0m and 2.5m for CheckMate 025 and CheckMate 214 patients, respectively. Median follow-up period from the start of TT after ICI discontinuation to date of analysis or death was 22.1m for CheckMate 025, and 20.3m for CheckMate 214 patients. As the first subsequent TT after NIVO or NIVO+IPI, axitinib was the most treated therapy for both CheckMate 025 (53.8%) and CheckMate 214 (47.4%) patients. ORR of TT after NIVO and NIVO+IPI was 26.9% and 31.6%, and median PFS was 8.9m and 16.3m, respectively. During the treatment of first TT after NIVO and NIVO+IPI, 98% percent experienced treated-related adverse events, 51% experienced grade 3-4, but no treatment related death. Conclusions: TTs have favorable antitumor activity for mRCC after NIVO and NIVO+IPI, possibly by changing the mode of action. Safety signals of TTs after ICI were similar to the previous reports. These results indicate sequential TTs after ICI may contribute for durable survival benefit.

8050 Background: AVAiL, an international, placebo-controlled, phase III trial, evaluated Bv plus CG in pts with previously untreated advanced, non-squamous NSCLC, with performance status 0/1. A retrospective analysis was performed to assess the efficacy and safety of Bv plus CG in the subpopulation of elderly pts (≥65 years [yrs]). Methods: 1,043 pts (age 20–83) were randomized to C 80mg/m2 and G 1,250mg/m2 q3w for up to 6 cycles plus either Bv 7.5mg/kg q3w (Bv 7.5; n=345), Bv 15mg/kg q3w (Bv 15; n=351) or placebo (Pl; n=347). Bv/Pl was administered until disease progression. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (RR) and safety. Efficacy and safety were compared between pts <65 yrs vs ≥65 yrs. Results: Efficacy data were available for 304 pts ≥65 yrs (median age 68), and 739 pts <65 yrs (median age 55). Baseline characteristics were similar between the groups. In the Bv arms, 179 pts (93%) received ≥1 cycle of treatment; 85 (47.5%) completed >6 cycles. Bv-treated pts ≥65 yrs derived an improvement in PFS compared to Pl (Bv 7.5: HR 0.71, p 0.023; Bv 15: HR 0.84, p= 0.25). ORRs were 40%, 29% and 30% for pts ≥65 in the Bv 7.5, Bv 15 and Pl arms. Survival was similar in all treatment arms regardless of age, (pts ≥65 Bv 7.5 HR 0.84; Bv 15 HR 0.88, p=NS). Safety data were available for 284 pts ≥65 yrs and 702 pts <65 yrs. There were no safety signals of concern in older patients. Grade ≥3 toxicities occurred in 84%, 80% and 80% of older pts treated with Bv 7.5, Bv 15 and Pl. Pts ≥65 yrs had no episodes of severe hemoptysis, but in Bv 7.5 and Pl arms, were more likely to have other bleeding, compared to pts <65. The incidence of hypertension and febrile neutropenia were similar in pts ≥65 and <65 yrs. Treatment-related deaths were not increased in Bv-treated pts ≥65 yrs vs pts <65 yrs or in Bv-arms vs Pl. Conclusions: The PFS benefit from Bv-based treatment in the elderly subpopulation is similar to that observed in the overall patient population. No particular safety signals were identified in this population, suggesting acceptable tolerability of Bv in elderly pts in AVAiL. [Table: see text]

467 Background: Patients with CCA usually present with advanced disease leading to the grave prognosis. Currently, cisplatin and gemcitabine is the standard treatment in advanced CCA. However, the CCA treatment outcomes are still poor and the options of treatment are quite limited. This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of S-1 plus leucovorin in patients with untreated advanced CCA. Methods: This single-arm two-center phase 2 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of S-1 40, 50 and 60 mg according to body surface area and leucovorin 15 mg , both given orally twice daily for one week, repeated every two weeks. Treatment was continued until complete 12 cycles, disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) per RECIST version 1.1. The secondary endpoints were progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and toxicity. Results: Of total 32 patients and a median follow up time of 9.5 months, the ORR was 25% (95%CI 9.1-40.9) and the DCR was 62.5% (95% CI 44.8-80.2). In 25 response evaluable patients, the ORR was 32% (95% CI 12.4-51.7). The PFS was 8.0 (95%CI 5.59-10.4) months. The OS was 11.0 (95%CI 9.47-12.53). The most common grade 3 or 4 toxicities were anemia, mucositis and diarrhea. There was one patient discontinuing treatment due to treatment related toxicity. Conclusions: S-1 plus leucovorin was active and tolerable in patients with advanced CCA. Clinical trial information: TCTR20160313001.

Objective: This study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of galcanezumab in comparison with placebo for the prevention of migraine in Japanese patients with episodic migraine. Methods: In this double-blind, placebo-controlled study, which was conducted over 6 months, randomized adult patients received subcutaneous injections of galcanezumab (120 mg n = 115, 240 mg n = 114) or placebo ( n = 230) once monthly. The primary endpoint was the overall mean change from baseline in the number of monthly migraine headache days. The key secondary outcome measures were response rates (≥50%, ≥75%, and 100%); the Migraine-Specific Quality-of-Life Questionnaire Role Function-Restrictive score; monthly migraine headache days requiring acute treatment; and Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S). Results: The mean change from baseline in monthly migraine headache days over months 1–6 was significantly ( p < 0.001) greater for the 120-mg galcanezumab dose (−3.60 days) and the 240-mg galcanezumab dose (−3.36 days) compared with placebo (−0.59 days). Both the 120-mg and 240-mg doses of galcanezumab were superior compared with placebo for each of the key secondary endpoints except for PGI-S (only the 240-mg dose was superior). The most commonly reported treatment-emergent adverse events were local injection-site reactions; erythema, swelling, pruritus, and pain were more commonly reported by patients who were treated with galcanezumab than those treated with placebo. Conclusion: The number of monthly migraine headache days was reduced with both doses of galcanezumab, and both doses were safe and well tolerated in Japanese patients with episodic migraine.

7033 Background: Carboplatin/vinorelbine (CV) and carboplatin/gemcitabine (CG) are novel 2-drug combinations in the treatment of NSCLC. In a randomized national multicenter phase III study in stage IIIB and IV patients (pts), we compared these regimens with respect to efficacy, toxicity and quality of life (QoL). Methods: Chemonaive pts with histologically or cytologically proven NSCLC, stage IIIB or IV and ECOG performance status (PS) 0–2 were eligible. There was no upper age limit. Pts received vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 or gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2, both administered on day 1 and 8, in combination with carboplatin (Chatelut AUC 4) at day 1. Three courses were administered in 3-week cycles. QoL questionnaires were completed at baseline, before each cycle and then every 8 weeks up to one year. Primary endpoints were survival and QoL and secondary endpoints toxicity and time to progression (TTP). Stratification was done for age, stage and PS, and the planned sample size per arm was minimum 200. The analyses were performed on an intention-to-treat basis Results: From Oct 2003 through Dec 2004, 433 pts from 33 institutions were randomized to CV (n=218) or CG (n=215). Follow-up was minimum one year. There was no difference in overall survival between the two arms (p=0.89). Median survival was 7.3 vs. 6.5 months and 1-year survival 28% and 31% in the CV and CG arm respectively. TTP was significantly longer in the CG arm (p=0.006) with median TTP 4.2 vs. 3.9 months. There was significantly more grade 3–4 anemia and thrombocytopenia in the CG arm (p<0.001) and more grade 3–4 leucopenia in the CV arm (p= 0.001). More pts in the CG arm needed transfusions of blood (p=0.003) or platelets (p=0.001). There was no difference between the arms with respect to neutropenic infections (p=0.87). QoL data are still being analyzed and will be presented at ASCO. Conclusions: Overall survival was similar in the two treatment arms. In the CG arm, the median TTP was longer, but grade 3–4 toxicity requiring interventions, was more frequent when compared to the VC arm. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

644 Background: an assessment of efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in combination with everolimus in unselected patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) progressed during or following ≥1 line of antiangiogenic targeted therapy. Methods: Russian multicenter observational study included 73 consecutive patients with morphologically verified mRCC progressed during or following ≥1 line of antiangiogenic targeted therapy, treated with lenvatinib (18 mg/d) and everolimus (5 mg/d) in 20 Russian centers. Median age of the patients was 59 (23-73) years, a male-to-female ratio - 3:1. Most common histological type of kidney cancer was clear-cell RCC (71 (95.8%)). More than 2 lines of previous treatment were administered in 45 (61.6%) cases. Most patients were diagnosed with multiple metastases (71 (97.3%)) in >1 site (61 (83.6%)). Nephrectomy was performed in 87.7% (64/73) of cases. At the combined therapy start ECOG PS 2-4 was registered in 16 (20.5%), poor prognosis according to IMDC score – in 33 (45.2%) patients. Median follow-up was 9.7 (1-26) months. Results: objective response rate was 11% (8/73); tumor control was reached in 93.2% (68/73) of cases. Median objective response duration was 10.5 (4.3-16.8) months, tumor control duration – 10.0 (2.5-17.5) months. Median progression-free survival (PFS) achieved 16.9 (95% confidence intervals (CI): 12.1-20.6), overall survival (OS) – 20.8 (95% CI: 15.7-25.9) months. Any adverse events (AE) developed in 83.6% (61/73), AE grade 3-5 - in 23.3% (17/73) of cases. Most frequent AE grade 3-4 were diarrhea (10 (13.6%)) and arterial hypertension (6 (8.2%)). Unacceptable toxicity demanded treatment cancellation in 4.2% (3/73), therapy interruption – in 30.1% (22/73) and dose reduction – in 32.9% (24/73) of patients. Conclusions: unselected mRCC patients administered with combined targeted therapy in the real world practice were registered with lower objective response rate, similar survival and better tolerability comparing with population assigned for lenvatinib plus everolimus in the randomized phase II trial.

111 Background: Cediranib (AZD2171) is an oral, highly potent inhibitor of VEGF signalling with activity versus all three VEGFRs and c-Kit. Combination therapy with cisplatin + oral fluoropyrimidine is commonly used as first-line treatment for AGC. This phase I study assessed cediranib in combination with cisplatin/S-1 or cisplatin/capecitabine in Japanese pts with previously untreated AGC. Methods: Eligible pts received cediranib 20 mg/day and either cisplatin 60 mg/m2 iv, day 1 + S-1 40–60 mg bd, days 1–21, q5w (Arm A) or cisplatin 80 mg/m2 iv, day 1 + capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 bd, days 1–14, q3w (Arm B). The primary endpoint was safety and tolerability. Secondary endpoints included assessment of steady-state pharmacokinetics (PK) of cediranib and chemotherapy alone and in combination. Preliminary efficacy was an exploratory objective. Adverse events (AEs) were evaluated according to CTCAE v3.0. Results: Between Aug–Dec 2009, 14 pts (median age, 60.5 [27–72] years; male, n = 9; PS 0/1, n = 7/7) were recruited to Arm A (n = 6) or Arm B (n = 8). The safety profile in both arms was consistent with that of the individual agents. There were no unexpected toxicities. All pts experienced ≥1 AE. Dose-limiting toxicities were reported in 1 pt in Arm A (decreased appetite) and 1 pt in Arm B (decreased appetite, fatigue, hyponatremia). The most common AEs in Arm A were decreased appetite, fatigue, nausea, diarrhoea, decreased weight and neutropenia (all n = 5; 83%), and decreased appetite, fatigue, nausea (all n = 8; 100%) and constipation (n = 7; 88%) in Arm B. Five (83%) pts in Arm A and 6 (75%) in Arm B experienced grade ≥ 3 AEs. Grade 3 AEs in > 1 pt were neutropenia (n = 3) in Arm A and hypokalaemia (n = 3), neutropenia, hyponatraemia and fatigue (all n = 2) in Arm B. Grade 4 syncope was reported in 1 pt in Arm A; this resolved on the same day it was observed. Preliminary efficacy and PK data will be presented. Conclusions: Cediranib 20 mg plus cisplatin/S-1 or cisplatin/capecitabine was generally well tolerated and considered suitable for further evaluation in pts with AGC. The safety profile of each regimen was comparable with the individual agents. No new toxicities were identified. [Table: see text]
