Abstract
Histologic response to chemotherapy for osteosarcoma is one of the most important prognostic factors for survival, but assessment occurs after surgery. Although tumor imaging is used for surgical planning and follow-up, it lacks predictive value. Therefore, a radiomics model was developed to predict the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on pretreatment T1-weighted contrast-enhanced MRI. A total of 176 patients (median age, 20 years [range, 5-71 years]; 107 male patients) with osteosarcoma treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery between January 2007 and December 2018 in three different centers in France (Centre Léon Bérard in Lyon, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nantes in Nantes, and Hôpital Cochin in Paris) were retrospectively analyzed. Various models were trained from different configurations of the data sets. Two different methods of feature selection were tested with and without ComBat harmonization (ReliefF and t test) to select the most relevant features, and two different classifiers were used to build the models (an artificial neural network and a support vector machine). Sixteen radiomics models were built using the different combinations of feature selection and classifier applied on the various data sets. The most predictive model had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.95, a sensitivity of 91%, and a specificity 92% in the training set; respective values in the validation set were 0.97, 91%, and 92%. In conclusion, MRI-based radiomics may be useful to stratify patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy for osteosarcomas.

Abstract
Sarcoma and locally aggressive connective tissue tumors are a complex group of diseases with a growing number of histotypes in the most recent WHO classification. Most of these tumors are rare (incidence <6/105/y) or ultrarare (<1/106/y). Despite their rarity, sarcomas are often good models for the development of personalized medicine, and a large number of new clinical trials in select histotypes and molecular subsets were reported during the past 5 years, leading to a faster rate of new drug approvals. We analyzed the published literature and the abstracts reported in major congresses dedicated to sarcoma and connective tissue tumor management in the last 5 years. Several targeted therapies, cytotoxic treatments, and immunotherapies have demonstrated activity in dedicated histologic and molecular subtypes of sarcomas. The majority of the studies for ultrarare entities are uncontrolled studies, as a consequence of the rarity of histotypes, but randomized controlled trials were available in the less rare histotypes. Most successful trials were based on biomarker selection, which were often driver molecular alterations, while a large number of ongoing research programs aim to identify biomarkers in parallel to new drug development. Availability of the new agents varies across countries. This article describes the new drugs that made it through to the finish line and new agents with promising activity that are in later stages of investigation in the large family of malignant connective tissue tumors.

Abstract
Background Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is a translocated aggressive malignancy with a high incidence of metastases and poor prognosis. There are few studies describing the activity of systemic therapy in CCS. We report a multi-institutional retrospective study of the outcomes of patients with advanced CCS treated with systemic therapy within the World Sarcoma Network (WSN). Materials and methods Patients with molecularly confirmed locally advanced or metastatic CCS treated with systemic therapy from June 1985 to May 2021 were included. Baseline demographic and treatment information, including response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) 1.1, was retrospectively collected by local investigators. Descriptive statistics were carried out. Results Fifty-five patients from 10 institutions were included. At diagnosis, the median age was 30 (15-73) years and 24% (n = 13/55) had metastatic disease. The median age at diagnosis was 30 (15-73) years. Most primary tumours were at aponeurosis (n = 9/55, 16%) or non-aponeurosis limb sites (n = 17/55, 31%). The most common fusion was EWSR1–ATF1 (n = 24/55, 44%). The median number of systemic therapies was 1 (range 1-7). The best response rate was seen for patients treated with sunitinib (30%, n = 3/10), with a median progression-free survival of 4 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1-7] months. The median overall survival for patients with advanced/metastatic disease was 15 months (95% CI 3-27 months). Conclusions Soft tissue sarcoma-type systemic therapies have limited benefit in advanced CCS and response rate was poor. International, multicentre prospective translational studies are required to identify new treatments for this ultra-rare subtype, and access to early clinical trial enrolment remains key for patients with CCS. This is the largest reported series of advanced CCS patients treated with systemic therapy. The activity of sarcoma-type systemic therapy is poor and modest responses were seen only with sunitinib. Effective therapies are needed to improve outcomes for patients with this ultra-rare sarcoma type.

Abstract
BCOR-ITD tumours form an emerging family of aggressive entities with an internal tandem duplication (ITD) in the last exon of the BCOR gene. The family includes cerebral tumours, termed central nervous system BCOR-ITD (CNS BCOR-ITD), and sarcomatous types described in the kidney as clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK), in the endometrium as high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (HG-ESS), in bone, and in soft tissue as undifferentiated round cell sarcoma (URCS) or primitive myxoid mesenchymal tumour of infancy (PMMTI). Based on a series of 33 retrospective cases, including 10 CNS BCOR-ITD and 23 BCOR-ITD sarcomas, we interrogated the homogeneity of the entity regarding clinical, radiological and histopathological findings, and molecular signatures. Whole transcriptomic sequencing and DNA methylation profiling were used for unsupervised clustering. Histopathological review revealed marked differences between CNS BCOR-ITD and BCOR-ITD sarcomas. These two groups were consistently segregated by unsupervised clustering of expression (n=22) and DNA methylation (n=21) data. Proximity between the two groups may result from common somatic changes within key pathways directly related to the novel activity of the ITD itself. Conversely, comparison of gene signatures with single-cell RNAseq atlases suggests that the distinction between BCOR-ITD sarcomas and CNS BCOR-ITD may result from differences in cells of origin.

Abstract
3130 Background: PROFILER-02 is a multicenter randomized prospective study comparing the proportion of metastatic cancer patients (pts) with Targeted Agent (TA) recommendation provided by large NGS panel (FOne panel, 324 genes) vs home 87-gene NGS panel (CTRL) (PMID 30865223). Methods: Adult pts with advanced/metastatic cancer during 1st or 2nd line of therapy without known targetable gene alteration were eligible and randomized (1:1) to FOne vs CTRL panel. Both panels were performed for each patient. The randomization arm defined the first panel reviewed by dedicated Molecular Tumor Board (MTB) at disease progression while the 2nd panel remained blinded. The primary objective was the pts rate with at least one TA recommendation by the MTB using either FOne or CTRL panel. The study was designed in order to detect difference in proportions of 10% between the two panels. A sample size of 289 pts with both panels were requested to show this difference with an expected proportion of discordant pairs of 20% using a McNemar's test with 98% power and 5% two-sided significance level. Secondary endpoints included number of pts receiving at least one TA, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: From June 2017 to June 2019, among the 339 included pts 171 and 168 pts were randomized in FOne or CTRL panels’ first use, respectively. Median age was 57 years [19.0 - 85.0]; 54.9% were female. The median time from randomization to first MTB was 7.62 months [range 0.80 - 48.1]. Among the 339 pts, 147 pts (43.4%) had no TA recommendation, 108 pts (31.9%) had at least one TA recommendation according to both panels, 67 pts (19.8%) had one or more TA recommendation according to FOne panel only and 17 pts (5%) according to CTRL panel only (McNemar p < 0.001). At the time of the analysis, 51/339 (15%) pts started recommended treatment: 27 pts (8%) with TA recommendation from both panels, 21 pts (6.2%) from FOne only and 3 pts (0.3%) from CTRL only. Main initiated TA were PARP inh. (FOne n = 12; CTRL n = 9), PI3K/AKT/mTOR inh. (FOne n = 10; CTRL n = 9) and immunotherapy (ICI) (FOne n = 7; CTRL n = 0). Median PFS following first MTB were 3.2 months (95% CI 2.5-3.8) and 2.6 months (95% CI 2.0-3.8), median OS were 8.7 months (95% CI 6.6-10.8) and 8.4 months (95% CI 6.4-9.7), in the FOne and CTRL arm, respectively. Conclusions: Larger NGS panel including Tumor Mutational Burden increased the number of recommended options (TA and ICI), as well as the number of treatment initiation. Clinical trial information: NCT03163732.

Abstract
11571 Background: Perivascular Epithelioid Cell Neoplasms (PEComas) encompass a heterogeneous family of mesenchymal tumors. The current understanding of their natural history is limited. Previously described clinicopathological factors aimed to define benign or malignant variants, but there is a lack of prognostic factors associated with recurrence of surgically resected tumors, preventing the development of a prognostic score to better optimize patient’s management. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of clinicopathological features from patients diagnosed with a localized PEComa, within all centers from the French Sarcoma network and one center in Belgium. We analyzed 12 clinicopathological factors in a Cox proportional hazard framework to derive a multivariate prognostic risk model for progression-free survival (PFS). We built the PEComa PROgnostic score (PEC-PRO) ranging from 0 to 5, based on the coefficients of the multivariate model. Three different prognostic groups were identified: low risk (score = 0), intermediate risk (score = 1) and high risk (score ≥2). Results: Ninety-three patients were analyzed with a median follow-up of 46 months (range, 3-253). At diagnosis, the median age was 54 years (range, 13-84), with female predominance (72%). Most common primary locations were uterus (n = 15;16%) and kidney (n = 15;16%). Median tumor size was 6.2 cm (range, 0.8-30). Among patients with reported surgical margins, 64 (73%) and 23 (27%) had R0 and R1-2 margins, respectively. The median PFS was 26 months (IC95, 2.9-124.4), with 1- and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of 95.7% and 69.9%, respectively, while the median OS was not reached. Using univariate analyses, male gender, primary tumor size > 5 cm, high nuclear grade and cellularity, high mitotic rate > 1/50 HPF, necrosis, vascular invasion, nodal invasion, and R1-2 margins were associated with a shorter PFS. Among those, male gender (HR = 2.88; IC95 1.12-7.411, p = 0.03), vascular invasion (HR = 3.14; IC95 1.10-8.96, p = 0.034), necrosis (HR = 3.93; IC95 1.35-11.47, p = 0.015), and R1-2 margins (HR 4.47; IC95 1.60-12.46, p = 0.007) remained associated with PFS in the multivariate analysis and were included in the multivariate model. Median PFS in patients with high PEC-PRO score was 16 months as compared to 104 months and not reached for patients with intermediate and low PEC-PRO scores, respectively (p < 0.001). We also confirmed the prognostic relevance of the PEC-PRO score in terms of OS. Conclusions: Using a weighted combination of clinicopathological features, the PEC-PRO score reliably predicts the post-operative recurrence risk in patients with localized PEComas. It has the potential to better improve follow-up strategies and personalize adjuvant treatments. The findings of this retrospective analysis require validation in a prospective trial.

Abstract
TPS11585 Background: Primary metastatic osteosarcoma (OS) patients are treated with a curative intent following the same principles of non-metastatic OS, while the treatment of recurrent OS is primarily surgical in the case of isolated lung metastases. When complete removal of all metastases cannot be achieved, the prognosis remains poor, with a median Progression-Free Survival (PFS) between 3 to 8 months, and therefore there is a clinical need to reduce the risk of progression after the initial treatment sequence. The REGOBONE study reported a significant PFS benefit of regorafenib (REG) compared to placebo (in osteosarcomas: median PFS: 16.4 versus 4.1 weeks) and a manageable safety profile in patients with histologically confirmed HGBS (i.e., osteosarcoma or other bone sarcomas with the exception of Ewing sarcomas, chondrosarcoma and chordoma). Methods: This multicenter trial is ongoing to study the efficacy and safety of maintenance REG in pts > = 16 years old with HGBS, without complete remission but with no progressive disease after standard treatment, either at diagnosis or at relapse. Sixty pts will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive either oral REG at a daily dose of 120mg or its matching placebo, continuously for a maximum of 12 months. Randomization is stratified according to the setting of the disease: initial diagnosis versus relapse. The primary objective is to compare the efficacy (PFS) between the 2 arms. The expected 4-month PFS rates are 30% in the control arm and 60% in the REGO arm (HR = 0.42). Fifty-two events will provide 87% power to show significant improvement in PFS, using a 2-sided log-rank test at a 5% level. Secondary endpoints include Overall Response Rate (ORR), Disease Control Rate (DCR), Time to Treatment Failure (TTF), Overall Survival (OS), Quality of Life (QoL), and safety profile. Radiological endpoints will be evaluated using the RECIST 1.1 with tumor assessments every 2 months (first 6 months) and then every 3 months. Translational objectives will identify predictive biomarkers for efficacy of REG as maintenance therapy. Pts of the control arm who experience disease progression may switch to receive open label REG. As of Feb 1st, 2022, 3 patients have been randomized. 14 sites of the French Sarcoma Group will participate. An amendment is being implemented to lower the age limit (12 years old) and to expand tumor types to other HGBS (Ewing sarcomas, chondrosarcomas, Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcomas, Leiomyosarcomas and angiosarcomas). Clinical trial information: NCT04698785.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The use of definitive radiotherapy (dRT) in unresectable soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) is still controversial and recent data are scarce. We report clinical results of this therapeutic option. METHODS We retrospectively included STS patients treated between 2009 and 2020, with dRT for unresectable or with a measurable residual disease after R2 surgery. Response rate, local failure (LF), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated. RESULTS 116 patients with localized/locally advanced STS were treated from 2009 to 2020, with a median age of 71 years (range 18-92). Most tumors were deep-seated (96.6%), grade 2-3 (85.1%), located in the trunk or extremities (74.2%). Helical tomotherapy, volumetric modulated arc therapy, or stereotactic radiotherapy was performed in 39.7%, 19% and 8.6% of patients, respectively. The median equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions (EQD2) was 60 Gy (IQR 52-65). At first follow-up, 66 (58.9%) and 25 (22%) patients had stable disease and partial response. After a median follow-up of 54.8 months (IQR 40.3-95.4), 3-year LF, PFS and OS were 43.2%, 16.6% and 34%, respectively. Median OS was 21.4 months (95%CI 14-26). The multivariate analysis identified grade 3 and AJCC T3-T4 stage to be associated with both shorter PFS and OS (all p<0.001). Macroscopically incomplete resection and EQD2 ≥64Gy were associated with better OS (p=0.016 and p=0.007). Acute and late severe adverse events occurred in 24 (19.7%) and 5 (4.3%) patients. CONCLUSION In unresectable STS patients, definitive modern radiotherapy is a safe and effective treatment yielding long term control in selected patients.

Abstract
BCOR-ITD tumours form an emerging family of aggressive entities with an internal tandem duplication (ITD) in the last exon of the BCOR gene. The family includes cerebral tumours, termed central nervous system BCOR-ITD (CNS BCOR-ITD), and sarcomatous types described in the kidney as clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK), in the endometrium as high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma, and in the bone and soft tissue as undifferentiated round cell sarcoma or primitive myxoid mesenchymal tumour of infancy. Based on a series of 33 retrospective cases, including 10 CNS BCOR-ITD and 23 BCOR-ITD sarcomas, we interrogated the homogeneity of the entity regarding clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings, and molecular signatures. Whole-transcriptomic sequencing and DNA methylation profiling were used for unsupervised clustering. BCOR-ITD tumours mostly affected young children with a median age at diagnosis of 2.1 years (range 0-62.4). Median overall survival was 3.9 years and progression-free survival was 1.4 years. This dismal prognosis is shared among tumours in all locations except CCSK. Histopathological review revealed marked differences between CNS BCOR-ITD and BCOR-ITD sarcomas. These two groups were consistently segregated by unsupervised clustering of expression (n = 22) and DNA methylation (n = 21) data. Proximity between the two groups may result from common somatic changes within key pathways directly related to the novel activity of the ITD itself. Conversely, comparison of gene signatures with single-cell RNA-Seq atlases suggests that the distinction between BCOR-ITD sarcomas and CNS BCOR-ITD may result from differences in cells of origin.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A few studies have highlighted the potential synergy between early palliative care and inclusion in an early-phase clinical trial that may improve quality of life, reduce symptoms of exhaustion related to the side effects of treatment and allow patients to complete their treatment protocol. The primary objective of this qualitative study is to evaluate the reasons for acceptance or refusal of early palliative care in patients included in early-phase clinical trials. METHOD AND ANALYSIS All patients from the Centre Léon Bérard (Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Lyon, France) who consent to one of the early-phase clinical trials proposed at the centre will be invited to participate in this study. The cohort will consist of a subgroup (n=20) of patients who accept palliative care together with their clinical trial, and a second subgroup (n=20) of patients who decline it. Patients will be interviewed in exploratory interviews conducted by a psychology researcher before the start of their clinical trial. The interviews will be audio-recorded. Patients will also be asked to complete quality of life and anxiety/depression questionnaires both before the beginning of the treatment and at the end of their clinical trial. The content of the interviews will be analysed thematically. Descriptive and comparative statistical analysis of both cohorts will also be conducted. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Personal data will be collected and processed in accordance with the laws and regulations in force. All patients will give informed consent to participate. This study complies with reference methodology MR004 of the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés. The protocol has received the validation of an ethics committee (Groupe de Réflexion Ethique du CLB, number: 2020-006). The results will be disseminated through conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04717440.

Abstract
Background Synovial sarcoma (SS) occurs in both adult and pediatric patients. The primary aim of this study is to describe the outcomes, prognostic factors, and treatment of patients with metastatic SS within a nationwide cohort. Patients and methods All pediatric and adult patients with metastatic SS are registered in the French Sarcoma Group database. Data were collected from the national database https://conticabase.sarcomabcb.org/ up to March 2020. Descriptive and comparative analyses were conducted using SAS 9.4 and Stata Special Edition 16.1 software. Results Between January 1981 and December 2019, 417 patients with metastatic SS from 17 French sarcoma centers were included, including 64 (15.3%) under the age of 26 years. Median age was 42.5 years (range 9-87 years). The metastases were synchronous (cohort 1) or metachronous (cohort 2) in 18.9% (N = 79) and 81.1% (N = 338) patients, respectively. Median overall survival (OS) from the date of metastasis was 22.3 months (95% confidence interval 19.7-24.1 months). First-line chemotherapy without ifosfamide and/or doxorubicin was unfavorable for progression-free survival and OS (P < 0.001). Concerning cohort 1, young age, surgery of the primary tumor, and single metastatic site were independent favorable prognostic factors for OS. In cohort 2, surgery within an expert French Sarcoma Group center, absence of chemotherapy in the perioperative setting, the lungs as a single metastatic site, time to first metastasis >12 months, local therapy, and ifosfamide in the first metastatic line were independent favorable prognostic factors. Conclusions The outcome of patients with metastatic SS is influenced by local treatment, management in reference centers, and cytotoxic treatments given in the perioperative and metastatic setting. METASYN is the largest retrospective study on metastatic adult and pediatric SS. This study confirms that surgery remains the mainstay for improving OS in reference centers. METASYN emphasizes the importance of focal treatment of metastases for OS. This study offers real-life results in a metastatic setting and is a useful support for developing new strategies.

Abstract
Many neoplasms remain unclassified after histopathological examination, which requires further molecular analysis. To this regard, mesenchymal neoplasms are particularly challenging due to the combination of their rarity and the large number of subtypes, and many entities still lack robust diagnostic hallmarks. RNA transcriptomic profiles have proven to be a reliable basis for the classification of previously unclassified tumors and notably for mesenchymal neoplasms. Using exome-based RNA capture sequencing on more than 5000 samples of archival material (FFPE), the combination of expression profiles analyzes (including several clustering methods), fusion genes, and small nucleotide variations has been developed at the Centre Léon Bérard (CLB) in Lyon for the molecular diagnosis of challenging neoplasms and the discovery of new entities. The molecular basis of the technique, the protocol, and the bioinformatics algorithms used are described herein, as well as its advantages and limitations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Trabectedin has shown pre-clinical synergy with immune-checkpoint inhibitors in pre-clinical models. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN TRAMUNE is a phase Ib study investigating trabectedin combined with durvalumab trough a dose-escalation phase and two expansion cohorts (soft tissue sarcoma and ovarian carcinoma). Trabectedin was given at three dose levels (1 mg/m2, 1.2 mg/m2 and 1.5 mg/m2) on day 1, in combination with durvalumab, 1120 mg on day 2, every 3 weeks. The primary endpoints were the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of trabectedin combined with durvalumab and the objective response rate (ORR) as per RECIST 1.1. The secondary endpoints included safety, 6-month progression-free rate (PFR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival, and biomarker analyses. RESULTS 40 patients were included (dose escalation: n=9; STS cohort: n=16; ovarian cohort: n=15, 80% platinum resistant/refractory). The most frequent toxicities were grade 1-2 fatigue, nausea, neutropenia, and alanine/aspartate aminotransferase increase. One patient experienced a dose-limiting toxicity at dose level 2. Trabectedin at 1.2 mg/m2 was selected as the RP2D. In the STS cohort, 43% of patients experienced tumor shrinkage, the ORR was 7% (95% CI 0.2 - 33.9) and the 6-month PFR 28.6% (95% CI 8.4-58.1). In the ovarian carcinoma cohort, 43% of patients experienced tumor shrinkage, the ORR was 21.4% (95% CI 4.7 - 50.8) and the 6-month PFR 42.9% (95% CI 17.7 - 71.1). Baseline levels of PD-L1 expression and CD8-positive T-cell infiltrates were associated with PFS in ovarian carcinoma patients. CONCLUSIONS Combining trabectedin and durvalumab is manageable. Promising activity is observed in platinum-refractory ovarian carcinoma patients.

Abstract
Bispecific therapies targeting CD3, so-called T-cell engagers (TCE), belong to the new spectrum of anti-tumor immunotherapies stimulating T-lymphocytes. TCE are unique constructs targeting the MHC-independent CD3 epsilon subunit (CD3e) and a tumor antigen. To date, only blinatumomab have reached market agreements in lymphoid malignancies with constructs targeting CD3exCD19. Other TCE are in advances development, with promising results targeting CD20 and BSMA in lymphoma and myeloma. These successes have relaunched the development of TCE in solid tumors, bringing mixed results so far (notably in terms of tolerance). Still, TCE pave the way to new immunotherapy in tumors considered to be refractory to inhibitors of immune checkpoints such as prostate cancer or colorectal cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Primary or secondary mutations in KIT or platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) underlie tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance in most GI stromal tumors (GISTs). Avapritinib selectively and potently inhibits KIT- and PDGFRA-mutant kinases. In the phase I NAVIGATOR study (NCT02508532), avapritinib showed clinical activity against PDGFRA D842V-mutant and later-line KIT-mutant GIST. VOYAGER (NCT03465722), a phase III study, evaluated efficacy and safety of avapritinib versus regorafenib as third-line or later treatment in patients with unresectable or metastatic GIST. PATIENTS AND METHODS VOYAGER randomly assigned patients 1:1 to avapritinib 300 mg once daily (4 weeks continuously) or regorafenib 160 mg once daily (3 weeks on and 1 week off). Primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) by central radiology per RECIST version 1.1 modified for GIST. Secondary end points included objective response rate, overall survival, safety, disease control rate, and duration of response. Regorafenib to avapritinib crossover was permitted upon centrally confirmed disease progression. RESULTS Four hundred seventy-six patients were randomly assigned (avapritinib, n = 240; regorafenib, n = 236). Median PFS was not statistically different between avapritinib and regorafenib (hazard ratio, 1.25; 95% CI, 0.99 to 1.57; 4.2 v 5.6 months; P = .055). Overall survival data were immature at cutoff. Objective response rates were 17.1% and 7.2%, with durations of responses of 7.6 and 9.4 months for avapritinib and regorafenib; disease control rates were 41.7% (95% CI, 35.4 to 48.2) and 46.2% (95% CI, 39.7 to 52.8). Treatment-related adverse events (any grade, grade ≥ 3) were similar for avapritinib (92.5% and 55.2%) and regorafenib (96.2% and 57.7%). CONCLUSION Primary end point was not met. There was no significant difference in median PFS between avapritinib and regorafenib in patients with molecularly unselected, late-line GIST.

Abstract
(1) Background: locally resected high-grade sarcomas relapse in 40% of cases. There is no prognostic or predictive genomic marker for response to peri-operative chemotherapy. (2) Methods: MOSCATO and ProfiLER are pan-tumor prospective precision medicine trials for advanced tumors. Molecular analysis in both trials comprised targeted next-generation sequencing and comparative genomic hybridization array. We investigated if molecular alterations identified in these trials in sarcomas were associated with disease-free survival (DFS) and response to anthracyclines. (3) Results: this analysis included 215 sarcomas, amongst which 53 leiomyosarcomas, 27 rhabdomyosarcomas, 20 undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas, and 17 liposarcomas. The most frequently altered gene was TP53 (46 mutations and eight deletions). There were 149 surgically resected localized sarcomas. Median DFS in TP53 wild type (WT), deleted, and mutated sarcomas was 16, 10, and 10 months, respectively (p = 0.028; deletions: HR = 1.55; 95% CI = 0.75-3.19; mutations: HR = 1.70; 95%CI = 1.13-2.64). In multivariate analysis, TP53 mutations remained associated with shorter DFS (p = 0.027; HR = 2.30; 95%CI = 1.10-4.82). There were 161 localized and advanced sarcomas evaluable for response to anthracyclines. Objective response rates were 35% and 55% in TP53 WT and mutated sarcomas, respectively (OR = 2.24; 95%CI = 1.01-5.03; p = 0.05). In multivariate analysis, TP53 mutations remained associated with increased response (OR = 3.24; 95%CI = 1.30-8.45; p = 0.01). (4) Conclusions: TP53 mutations are associated with shorter DFS and increased response to anthracyclines. Post-validation, these findings could assist in decision-making for peri-operative treatments.

Abstract
PURPOSE EORTC-1506-STBSG was a prospective, multicentric, randomised, open-label phase 2 trial to assess the efficacy and safety of second-line nintedanib versus ifosfamide in patients with advanced, inoperable metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS). The primary end-point was progression-free survival. PATIENTS/METHODS Patients with a variety of STS subtypes were randomised 1:1 to nintedanib (200 mg b.i.d. p.o. until disease progression) or ifosfamide (3 g/m2 i.v. days 1-3, every 21 days for ≤6 cycles). A Korn design was applied aiming to detect an improvement in median progression-free survival (mPFS) from 3 to 4.5 months (HR = 0.667). An interim look was incorporated to stop the trial for futility if <19 of the first 36 patients treated with nintedanib were progression-free at week 12. RESULTS At the interim analysis, among the first 36 eligible and evaluable patients randomised for nintedanib, only 13 (36%) were progression-free at week 12. The trial was closed for further accrual as per protocol. In total, 80 patients were randomised (40 per treatment group). The mPFS was 2.5 months (95% CI: 1.5-3.4) for nintedanib and 4.4 months (95% CI: 2.9-6.7) on ifosfamide (adjusted HR = 1.56 [80% CI: 1.14-2.13], p = 0.070). The median overall survival was 13.7 months (95% CI: 9.4-23.4) on nintedanib and 24.1 months (95% CI: 10.9-NE) on ifosfamide (adjusted HR = 1.65 [95%CI:0.89-3.06], p = 0.111). The clinical benefit rate for nintedanib and ifosfamide was 50% versus 62.5% (p = 0.368), respectively. Common treatment-related adverse events (all grades) were diarrhoea (35.9% of patients), fatigue (25.6%) and nausea (20.5%) for nintedanib; and fatigue (52.6%), nausea (44.7%) and vomiting, anorexia and alopecia (28.9% each) for ifosfamide. CONCLUSION The trial was stopped for futility. The activity of nintedanib did not warrant further exploration in non-selected, advanced STSs.

Abstract
TPS11576 Background: Pts with OS and non-OS of bone are treated with a multimodal sequence therapy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CT), surgery and adjuvant CT, followed by a close surveillance until recurrence. At recurrence, the prognosis remains poor with objective response rates of 3-29%, and a median Progression-Free Survival (PFS) of less than 4 months in OS. There is a clinical need to reduce the risk of recurrence after the initial treatment sequence. The REGOBONE study reported a significant clinical benefit of regorafenib compared to placebo in patients with relapsed OS (median PFS: 16.4 versus 4.1 weeks). Methods: This multicenter trial is ongoing to study the efficacy and safety of maintenance REGO in pts > = 16 years, with complete remission after initial treatment sequence of their bone sarcoma. 168 pts will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive either oral REGO or its matching placebo (control arm) at a daily dose of 120mg, continuously and for a maximum of 12 months. Randomization will be stratified according to the following risk factors: metastases (mets) at diagnosis and/or poor response to neoadjuvant CT versus no mets at diagnosis and good response to neoadjuvant CT. The primary objective is to compare the efficacy (Relapse-Free Survival) between the 2 arms. The expected 3-year RFS rates are 55% in the control arm and 74.6% in the REGO arm (HR = 0.5). 66 events will provide 80% power to show significant improvement in RFS, using a 2-sided log-rank test at a 5% level. Secondary endpoints include Time to Treatment Failure, Overall Survival, Quality of Life, safety profile, and compliance to treatment. Radiological endpoints will be evaluated using the RECIST 1.1. Translational objectives will be to identify predictive biomarkers for efficacy of REGO as maintenance therapy using liquid biopsies. As of Feb 1st, 2021, 3 patients have been randomized. 15 sites of the French Sarcoma Group will participate. Clinical trial information: NCT04055220.
