Abstract
Long-term data of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients with favorable risk who were treated with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab (FCR) within clinical trials show good efficacy. We here report long-term data collected within the GCLLSG registry. Altogether, 417 CLL patients who received first-line treatment with FCR were analyzed, of which 293 (70.3%) were treated outside of clinical trials. The median observation time from first-line was 95.8 (interquartile range 58.7-126.8) months. Focusing on data of 194 (46.5%) patients who received FCR first-line treatment after 2013 (start of data collection within GCLLSG registry), responses were documented in 85% of the patients, non-responses in 15%, and for 3.6% the assessment was missing. Median event-free survival (EFS, time until disease progression, subsequent treatment, or death) was 60.2 months with a 5-year EFS-rate of 50.6%. Patients with higher-risk disease, characterized by unmutated IGHV (N = 78), had a median EFS of 45.4 months with a 5-year EFS rate of 36.3%, while the median EFS was 77.5 months with a 5-year EFS rate of 60.3% in patients with mutated IGHV (N = 40). Median overall survival was not reached with a 5-year survival rate of 92.7%. In summary, first-line FCR was associated with long EFS, especially in patients exhibiting a mutated IGHV status.

Abstract
The prospective, multicenter, noninterventional TACTIC study assessed effectiveness and safety of trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in a real-world setting in Germany, thus evaluating the external validity of the findings from the pivotal RECOURSE trial. Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Secondary objectives included progression-free survival (PFS), safety, and quality of life (QoL). Subgroups comprised patients with good (<3 metastatic sites at inclusion, ≥18 months from diagnosis of first metastasis to inclusion) or poor (remaining patients) prognostic characteristics (GPC/PPC). GPC without liver metastases was considered best prognostic characteristics (BPC). In total, 307 eligible patients (pretreated or not suitable for other available therapies) were treated with FTD/TPI. Overall, median [95%-CI] OS was 7.4 months [6.4-8.6], median PFS was 2.9 months [2.8-3.3]. In BPC (n = 65) and GPC (n = 176) compared to PPC (n = 124) subgroup, median OS (13.3 [9.1-17.6] vs 8.9 [7.6-9.8] vs 5.1 [4.4-7.0] months) and median PFS (4.0 [3.3-5.3] vs 3.4 [3.0-3.7] vs 2.6 [2.4-2.8] months) were longer. Patient-reported QoL, assessed by validated questionnaires (EQ-5D-5L, PRO-CTCAE), was stable throughout FTD/TPI treatment. Predominant FTD/TPI-related adverse events of grades 3 or 4 were neutropenia (13.0%), leukopenia (7.5%), and anemia (5.2%). Altogether, palliative FTD/TPI therapy in patients with pretreated mCRC was associated with prolonged survival, delayed progression, maintained health-related QoL, and manageable toxicity. Low metastatic burden and indolent disease were favorable prognostic factors for survival. TACTIC confirms the effectiveness and safety of FTD/TPI, highlighting its value in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Background The observational study HerMES collected primary data on effectiveness and safety of trastuzumab in patients with human epidermal growth receptor 2 (HER2)‐positive cancer of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) in routine clinical practice, exploring the treatment with trastuzumab, chemotherapy backbones used, and the HER2 testing in a real‐world setting in Germany. Subjects, Materials, and Methods This noninterventional study observed patients with histologically confirmed, HER2‐positive metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach or GEJ, who were treated with trastuzumab according to the physicians’ judgement and clinical practice. The observation phase per patient took as long as the duration of the trastuzumab therapy, but for a maximum of 12 months. A subsequent extended follow‐up phase lasted until the patient's death or the end of the study, that is, 2 years from start of the follow‐up phase of the last patient. All data were analyzed descriptively. Results Between February 2010 and July 2016, 364 patients were observed at 171 sites throughout Germany. The median overall survival was 14.1 months and the median progression‐free survival was 7.9 months. The overall response rate was 43%. Safety was in line with previous reports. This study observed a high diversity of chemotherapy regimens that were combined with trastuzumab. Post hoc subgroup analyses showed differences in outcomes according to the chemotherapy regimen used. Conclusion Trastuzumab treatment in everyday practice as observed in HerMES confirmed the positive results of the pivotal study ToGA in an observational, real‐world setting. Implications for Practice Real‐world data of trastuzumab treatment of patients with gastroesophageal or gastric metastatic adenocarcinoma confirmed the positive results of the pivotal clinical trial. The observed median overall survival was 14.1 months and the median progression‐free survival was 7.9 months. Although recommendations concerning administration of trastuzumab were well implemented, a high diversity of chemotherapy regimens were combined with trastuzumab. Regimens other than the in‐label regimens, especially oxaliplatin‐based doublets or 5‐fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, taxane triplets, were used in 29% of patients. Observation of a second, marginal HER2‐positivity population confirmed the benefit of trastuzumab predominantly for well‐confirmed human epidermal growth receptor 2 (HER2)‐positive tumors and the requirement of reliable HER2 testing. This article reports the results of the HerMES study on the use of trastuzumab for patients with gastric and gastro‐esophageal junction carcinoma in a real‐world setting in Germany.

Abstract
4065 Background: The international phase III study ToGA has recently shown that TRA is effective in prolonging survival in HER2-positive MGC. However, few data are available for TRA as part of routine clinical practice. Methods: This non-interventional observational study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety and feasibility of TRA in previously untreated pts with HER2-positive MGC. Results: Between Apr 2010 and Jan 2012, data from 110 pts were collected. All pts were evaluable for safety. Baseline pt characteristics were as follows: median age 63 yrs (range 29–88); gender (male 70%; female 29%); ECOG PS (0: 25%; 1: 50%; 2: 15%; 3: 5%); distant mets (91%); liver mets (54%), lymph node mets (35%); peritoneal carcinomatosis (23%). The median duration of TRA treatment was 4.4 months (0–17.1). According to the schedule of chemotherapy TRA was administered every 2–3 wks in a median dose of 4–6 mg/kg BW. Only 28% of pts received TRA according to the label in combination with cisplatin and 5-FU or capecitabine. The remainder received: cisplatin, 5-FU and leucovorin (17%); 5-FU, leucovorin, oxaliplatin and docetaxel (8%); 5-FU, leucovorin and oxaliplatin (7%); capecitabine (6%); other combinations (25%); TRA monotherapy (7%). Although most pts didn’t receive cisplatin-based therapy, preliminary median progression-free survival was 6.8 months, thus comparable to the ToGA data. Most common adverse events (AEs, all grades) were diarrhoea (7%), vomiting (5%) and nausea (5%). Most common grade 3/4 AEs were vomiting (3%), nausea (2%) and fatigue (2%). Health-related quality of life as assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-STO22 remained stable during observation time. An updated analysis of approx. 200 pts will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: TRA combined with diverse chemotherapies is safe and effective in the routine treatment of MGC. Cisplatin-free less toxic regimens are feasible and equally effective. The results are in line with those from the ToGA trial and suggest that treatment with TRA should be regarded as standard of care for pts with HER2-positive MGC.
