Abstract
BACKGROUND The first interim analysis of the KEYNOTE-564 study showed improved disease-free survival with adjuvant pembrolizumab compared with placebo after surgery in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma at an increased risk of recurrence. The analysis reported here, with an additional 6 months of follow-up, was designed to assess longer-term efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab versus placebo, as well as additional secondary and exploratory endpoints. METHODS In the multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 KEYNOTE-564 trial, adults aged 18 years or older with clear cell renal cell carcinoma with an increased risk of recurrence were enrolled at 213 hospitals and cancer centres in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Eligible participants had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1, had undergone nephrectomy 12 weeks or less before randomisation, and had not received previous systemic therapy for advanced renal cell carcinoma. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) via central permuted block randomisation (block size of four) to receive pembrolizumab 200 mg or placebo intravenously every 3 weeks for up to 17 cycles. Randomisation was stratified by metastatic disease status (M0 vs M1), and the M0 group was further stratified by ECOG performance status and geographical region. All participants and investigators involved in study treatment administration were masked to the treatment group assignment. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival by investigator assessment in the intention-to-treat population (all participants randomly assigned to a treatment). Safety was assessed in the safety population, comprising all participants who received at least one dose of pembrolizumab or placebo. As the primary endpoint was met at the first interim analysis, updated data are reported without p values. This study is ongoing, but no longer recruiting, and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03142334. FINDINGS Between June 30, 2017, and Sept 20, 2019, 994 participants were assigned to receive pembrolizumab (n=496) or placebo (n=498). Median follow-up, defined as the time from randomisation to data cutoff (June 14, 2021), was 30·1 months (IQR 25·7-36·7). Disease-free survival was better with pembrolizumab compared with placebo (HR 0·63 [95% CI 0·50-0·80]). Median disease-free survival was not reached in either group. The most common all-cause grade 3-4 adverse events were hypertension (in 14 [3%] of 496 participants) and increased alanine aminotransferase (in 11 [2%]) in the pembrolizumab group, and hypertension (in 13 [3%] of 498 participants) in the placebo group. Serious adverse events attributed to study treatment occurred in 59 (12%) participants in the pembrolizumab group and one (<1%) participant in the placebo group. No deaths were attributed to pembrolizumab. INTERPRETATION Updated results from KEYNOTE-564 support the use of adjuvant pembrolizumab monotherapy as a standard of care for participants with renal cell carcinoma with an increased risk of recurrence after nephrectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report efficacy and safety of samotolisib (LY3023414; PI3K/mTOR dual kinase and DNA-dependent protein kinase inhibitor) plus enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) following cancer progression on abiraterone. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this double-blind, placebo-controlled phase Ib/II study (NCT02407054), following a lead-in segment for evaluating safety and pharmacokinetics of samotolisib and enzalutamide combination, patients with advanced castration-resistant prostate cancer with progression on prior abiraterone were randomized to receive enzalutamide (160 mg daily)/samotolisib (200 mg twice daily) or placebo. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group criteria (PCWG2). Secondary and exploratory endpoints included radiographic PFS (rPFS) and biomarkers, respectively. Log-rank tests assessed treatment group differences. RESULTS Overall, 13 and 129 patients were enrolled in phase Ib and II, respectively. Dose-limiting toxicity was not reported in patients during phase Ib and mean samotolisib exposures remained in the targeted range despite a 35% decrease when administered with enzalutamide. In phase II, median PCWG2-PFS and rPFS was significantly longer in the samotolisib/enzalutamide versus placebo/enzalutamide arm (3.8 vs. 2.8 months; P = 0.003 and 10.2 vs. 5.5 months; P = 0.03), respectively. Patients without androgen receptor splice variant 7 showed a significant and clinically meaningful rPFS benefit in the samotolisib/enzalutamide versus placebo/enzalutamide arm (13.2 months vs. 5.3 months; P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Samotolisib/enzalutamide has tolerable side effects and significantly improved PFS in patients with mCRPC with cancer progression on abiraterone, and this may be enriched in patients with PTEN intact and no androgen receptor splice variant 7.

Abstract
e19165 Background: Cancer care is complex and requires synthesis of increasing amounts of clinical and financial data to optimize treatment decisions. The heightened differentiation of individual cancers, therapy sequencing, and increasing number of treatment options make it more challenging for oncologists to stay current. A survey showed that 82% of Network providers validated the utility of clinical evidence and decision-making assistance at the point-of-care. Providing education on efficacy, toxicity, and cost in the form of evidence tables (ET) as CDST may assist in value-based decision-making. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed utilization of ET developed to provide clinical and financial data about regimens included within the Value Pathways powered by NCCN. Thirty ET were embedded in the electronic health record (EHR) and posted on our intranet between June-December 2019, covering over 90% of cancers. Utilization was queried from roll out through January 2020. ET include a summary of primary literature (primary/secondary endpoints, adverse events) and monthly Medicare allowable reimbursement rates. ET are updated with each change to pathways and quarterly for cost updates. We also conducted a survey to understand provider ET utilization patterns. Results: Utilization was evaluated for 1,200 physicians across 470 sites that have access to ET. ET have been accessed 1178 times by 586 providers within the EHR and accessed 1363 times by 260 providers via intranet. Our rate of repeat users of the ET is 35% in the EHR and 97% on the intranet. A survey of 200 physicians after ET release showed that 19% of physicians use ET with every new chemotherapy start and an additional 50% refer to ET only if they are uncertain about the best option. Conclusions: Utilization patterns underscore the importance of ET as a CDST within the EHR and on the intranet. While early ET use is high, continued tracking of utilization and addition of content to assist in complex clinical decisions is a priority. Providers surveyed found that clinical informatics tools like ET are useful to enhance decision-making in complex cancer care. [Table: see text]

Abstract
5009 Background: Preclinical and phase 1 results suggest PI3K/mTOR pathway inhibition may enhance androgen receptor inhibition. We report the results of a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized Phase 1b/2 study of ENZ±LY (a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor) in pts with mCRPC who progressed on abiraterone. Methods: Phase 1b pts received single-agent LY 200 mg twice daily (BID) for 1 wk prior to starting LY+ENZ. Phase 2 pts were randomized 1:1 to 160 mg daily ENZ with PL or 200 mg BID LY on a 28-d cycle. The primary objective was progression-free survival (PFS: serological, radiographic [rPFS], or death) by PCWG2 criteria. Secondary objectives were rPFS, safety, decline in PSA, and PK. Exploratory biomarker analyses included outcomes by presence of androgen receptor variant 7 (AR-V7). 92 primary PFS events were needed for the study to have at least 80% power at one-sided alpha=0.20. Results: LY+ENZ was tolerable during Phase 1b with 1 dose limiting toxicity observed in 13 enrolled pts. Mean LY exposures remained in an efficacious range despite a 30% average decrease when combined with ENZ. In Phase 2, 129 pts were randomized to LY+ENZ (N=65) and PL+ENZ (N=64) (Table). Median PCWG2-PFS was 3.7 mos (LY+ENZ) vs 2.9 mos (PL+ENZ) (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.43, 0.99; p-value 0.0208). Conclusions: Combination LY+ENZ had a clinically manageable safety profile. The primary end-point of PCWG2-PFS was met and is supported by a clinically meaningful delay in rPFS in AR-V7 negative pts. The biomarker data provide important insights to inform future development strategies. Clinical trial information: NCT02407054. [Table: see text]

Abstract
177 Background: Managing patients ≥ 80 years old (yo) with mCRPC is challenging, given the high prevalence of comorbidities, polypharmacy, organ dysfunction, and reduced performance status (PS). Balancing treatment benefit with safety and quality of life is particularly germane for this group. Sipuleucel-T, an autologous cellular immunotherapy for mCRPC, is generally well-tolerated. Prior analyses from PROCEED, a large registry for sipuleucel-T in men with mCRPC, demonstrated that upregulation of immune cells in these elderly patients is similar to that of younger men. Here, we report on this clinical experience. Methods: PROCEED enrolled men with mCRPC treated with sipuleucel-T given every 2 weeks x 3, with no dose adjustment for organ dysfunction or drug interactions. The elderly cohort included those ≥ 80 yo. Men were followed until death, study withdrawal, or a minimum of 3 years. Results: Of 1902 patients who received ≥1 sipuleucel-T infusion, 374 (19.7%) were ≥ 80 yo. Compared to men < 80 yo (Table), this cohort was 14 years older, had worse Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) PS and higher prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at baseline. All grade (16.3% elderly v. 13.7% younger) and grade 3-5 (10.7% elderly v. 9.9% younger) serious adverse events were comparable between groups. However, the median overall survival (OS) of elderly men was 10.7 mo shorter than that of younger men (< 80 yo). Conclusions: Sipuleucel-T was generally well-tolerated in those ≥ 80 yo in a real-world setting and may be considered a first-line option for the elderly with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic mCRPC. As expected, OS was shorter than in younger patients. Clinical trial information: NCT01306890. [Table: see text]

Abstract
BACKGROUND APF530, a novel extended-release granisetron injection, was superior to ondansetron in a guideline-recommended three-drug regimen in preventing delayed-phase chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) among patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC) in the double-blind Phase III Modified Absorption of Granisetron In the prevention of CINV (MAGIC) trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS This MAGIC post hoc analysis evaluated CINV prevention efficacy and safety of APF530 versus ondansetron, each with fosaprepitant and dexamethasone, in patient subgroup receiving an anthracycline plus cyclophosphamide (AC) regimen. Patients were randomized 1:1 to APF530 500 mg subcutaneously (granisetron 10 mg) or ondansetron 0.15 mg/kg intravenously (IV) (≤16 mg); stratification was by planned cisplatin ≥50 mg/m2 (yes/no). Patients were to receive fosaprepitant 150 mg IV and dexamethasone 12 mg IV on day 1, then dexamethasone 8 mg orally once daily on day 2 and twice daily on days 3 and 4. Patients were mostly younger females (APF530 arm, mean age 54.1 years, female, 99.3%; ondansetron arm, 53.8 years, female 98.3%). The primary end point was delayed-phase (>24-120 hours) complete response (CR). RESULTS APF530 versus ondansetron regimens achieved numerically better CINV control in delayed and overall (0-120 hours) phases for CR, complete control, total response, rescue medication use, and proportion with no nausea. APF530 trends are consistent with the overall population, although not statistically superior given the underpowered AC subgroup analysis. The APF530 regimen in this population was generally well tolerated, with safety comparable to that of the overall population. CONCLUSION APF530 plus fosaprepitant and dexamethasone effectively prevented CINV among patients receiving AC-based HEC, a large subgroup in whom CINV control has traditionally been challenging.

Abstract
222 Background: Rolapitant (VARUBI) is a selective, long-acting neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist (RA) for the prevention of CINV. Rolapitant effectively prevented CINV in phase 3 trials of patients (pts) receiving highly or moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC, MEC). While MEC and HEC regimens are commonly used to treat pts with gastrointestinal and colorectal cancers (GI/CRC), very few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of a neurokinin-1 RA regimen in these pts. We assessed the incidence of CINV and efficacy of rolapitant in a subset of pts with GI/CRC. Methods: This is a post hoc analysis of 3 similarly-designed, randomized, placebo-controlled trials. Pts with cancer of the esophagus, stomach, colon/rectum, or anus received a single oral dose of 180 mg oral rolapitant or placebo prior to HEC or MEC. All pts received a 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) RA and dexamethasone (active control). The HEC studies included cisplatin, and the MEC study carboplatin, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, epirubicin, and doxorubicin. Endpoints included complete response (CR; no emesis and no use of rescue medication), no emesis, no nausea (maximum visual analogue scale [VAS] < 5 mm), no significant nausea (maximum VAS < 25mm) and complete protection (CP; no emesis, no use of rescue medication, and no significant nausea) in the overall (0-120 h), acute (≤ 24 h), and delayed (> 24-120 h) phases. Results: Out of 188 GI/CRC pts, 101 pts received rolapitant and 87 received active control. Pts treated with rolapitant had significantly higher rates of CR, no nausea, no emesis, and CP in the overall phase (P < 0.05). Rolapitant was well-tolerated and overall incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events comparable in both groups. Conclusions: Addition of rolapitant to 5-HT3RA and dexamethasone therapy significantly improved CR, no nausea, no emesis, and CP in pts with GI/CRC receiving emetogenic chemotherapy.

Abstract
Aim: APF530, extended-release granisetron, provides sustained release for ≥5 days for acute- and delayed-phase chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). We compared efficacy and safety of APF530 versus ondansetron for delayed CINV after highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC), following a guideline-recommended three-drug regimen. Methods: HEC patients received APF530 500 mg subcutaneously or ondansetron 0.15 mg/kg intravenously, with dexamethasone and fosaprepitant. Primary end point was delayed-phase complete response (no emesis or rescue medication). Results: A higher percentage of APF530 versus ondansetron patients had delayed-phase complete response (p = 0.014). APF530 was generally well tolerated; treatment-emergent adverse event incidence was similar across arms, mostly mild-to-moderate injection-site reactions. Conclusion: APF530 versus the standard three-drug regimen provided superior control of delayed-phase CINV following HEC. ClinicalTrials.gov : NCT02106494.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rolapitant, a novel neurokinin‐1 receptor antagonist, provided effective protection against chemotherapy‐induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in a randomized, double‐blind phase 3 trial of patients receiving moderately emetogenic chemotherapy or an anthracycline and cyclophosphamide regimen. The current analysis explored the efficacy and safety of rolapitant in preventing CINV in a subgroup of patients receiving carboplatin. METHODS Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive oral rolapitant (180 mg) or a placebo 1 to 2 hours before chemotherapy administration; all patients received oral granisetron (2 mg) on days 1 to 3 and oral dexamethasone (20 mg) on day 1. A post hoc analysis examined the subgroup of patients receiving carboplatin in cycle 1. The efficacy endpoints were as follows: complete response (CR), no emesis, no nausea, no significant nausea, complete protection, time to first emesis or use of rescue medication, and no impact on daily life. RESULTS In the subgroup administered carboplatin‐based chemotherapy (n = 401), a significantly higher proportion of patients in the rolapitant group versus the control group achieved a CR in the overall phase (0‐120 hours; 80.2% vs 64.6%; P < .001) and in the delayed phase (>24‐120 hours; 82.3% vs 65.6%; P < .001) after chemotherapy administration. Superior responses were also observed by the measures of no emesis, no nausea, and complete protection in the overall and delayed phases and by the time to first emesis or use of rescue medication. The incidence of treatment‐emergent adverse events was similar for the rolapitant and control groups. CONCLUSIONS Rolapitant provided superior CINV protection to patients receiving carboplatin‐based chemotherapy in comparison with the control. These results support rolapitant use as part of the antiemetic regimen in carboplatin‐treated patients. Cancer 2016;122:2418–2425. © 2016 American Cancer Society. The efficacy of rolapitant, a neurokinin‐1 receptor antagonist with a long duration of action, was examined in a subgroup of 401 patients with cancer who received carboplatin‐based chemotherapy in a phase 3 trial. In this population, a single oral dose of rolapitant (180 mg) combined with granisetron and dexamethasone provided statistically superior protection against chemotherapy‐induced nausea and vomiting in the delayed and overall phases in comparison with granisetron and dexamethasone alone, and it was well tolerated.

Abstract
208 Background: Rolapitant, a novel NK-1 receptor antagonist, demonstrated efficacy in the prevention of CINV in pts receiving moderately- or highly emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC; HEC). In this post-hoc analysis, we evaluated safety and efficacy outcomes in pts receiving AC-based therapy, now considered HEC. Methods: This double-blind, active-controlled study randomized pts to oral rolapitant 180 mg plus granisetron 2 mg and dexamethasone 20 mg or granisetron/dexamethasone alone (active control). Complete response (CR = no emesis and no use of rescue medication), no emesis, no significant nausea, and time to emesis or rescue medication during overall, acute, and delayed phases and treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) are presented. Results: 703 pts received AC-based therapy, of which 97% had breast cancer. CR was significantly higher for rolapitant vs. active control for delayed and overall phases in pts receiving AC-based therapy (Table). Time to first emesis or use of rescue medication was significantly longer with rolapitant vs. active control (between-group comparison, p = 0.032); median was not reached in either treatment arm. A significantly greater proportion of pts on rolapitant (73.0%) vs. active control (60.2%) had no emesis during the overall phase (p < 0.001). Rates of no significant nausea were similar for rolapitant (63.7%) and active control (62.4%) in the overall phase (p = 0.728). Treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) during Cycle 1 occurred in 8.7% and 8.8% of pts on rolapitant vs. active control. Most frequent TRAEs were constipation (2.9% vs. 2.7%), fatigue (2.3% vs. 2.2%), and headache (2.3% vs. 3.3%). Conclusions: Rolapitant was superior to active control in preventing CINV during delayed and overall phases after AC-based chemotherapy. The safety profiles of the rolapitant and control arms were similar. These results are consistent with those of the overall pt population in this study. Clinical trial information: NCT01500226.

Abstract
210 Background: The long-acting neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist (NK-1 RA) rolapitant has demonstrated efficacy for CINV prevention in patients receiving HEC and MEC during Cycle 1. The efficacy and safety of rolapitant was examined during subsequent cycles 2–6 in a pooled analysis. Methods: In 4 double-blind, active-controlled studies, patients were randomized to oral rolapitant 180 mg or placebo 1–2 hours before chemotherapy. All patients received active control: 5HT3 receptor antagonist + oral dexamethasone. Patients completing Cycle 1 could receive the same anti-emetic treatment in subsequent cycles. On Days 6-8 of subsequent cycles, patients self-reported the incidence of emesis, or of nausea interfering with normal daily life following Day 1 of chemotherapy. Results: A greater proportion of patients on rolapitant than on active control reported no emesis or interfering nausea separately for each subsequent cycle. Results of individual studies and pooled analysis are shown in the Table. During cycles 2-6, the incidence of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) was similar for rolapitant (5.5%) and control (6.8%). The most common treatment-related AEs were similar in both arms: constipation (rolapitant: 1.2%; control: 0.8%) and fatigue (rolapitant: 1.3%; control: 1.8%). Conclusions: Rolapitant was superior to active control in reducing CINV when administered over multiple cycles of moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy, with no increase in toxicity.

Abstract
209 Background: Rolapitant, a novel NK-1 receptor antagonist, showed efficacy in CINV prevention in patients (pts) receiving MEC (anthracycline/cyclophosphamide (AC) and other regimens) in a global phase 3 trial. Recent anti-emetic guidelines consider AC based regimens to be highly emetogenic. In this post hoc analysis, the efficacy and safety of rolapitant was assessed in Cycle 1 in pts receiving non-AC MEC, and in the subset of pts receiving carboplatin-based MEC. Methods: In a double-blind, active-controlled study, pts were randomized to oral rolapitant 180 mg or placebo 1–2 hours before MEC. All pts received granisetron 2 mg oral on days 1-3 and oral dexamethasone 20 mg on day 1. Complete response (CR = no emesis + no use of rescue medication), no emesis, and no nausea were assessed in overall (0-120 h), acute (0-24 h), and delayed ( > 24-120 h) phases. Results: CR was significantly (P < 0.01) higher with rolapitant than active control in overall and delayed phases in the carboplatin subset and in all 3 phases in the non-AC population (Table). No emesis rates were significantly (p < 0.05) higher with rolapitant in the carboplatin subset in the overall phase. No nausea rates were significantly (P < 0.05) higher with rolapitant in the overall and delayed phases in carboplatin-based MEC. Incidences of treatment-related AEs in Cycle 1 with rolapitant vs. active control were 11.3% vs. 6.7% in the carboplatin-based subset. Most common AEs with rolapitant and active control were constipation, fatigue, and headache. Conclusions: Rolapitant was superior to active control in preventing CINV in pts receiving non-AC MEC, including in the subgroup receiving carboplatin. Rolapitant was well tolerated with low incidence of AEs. Clinical trial information: NCT01500226. [Table: see text]

Abstract
68 Background: Managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) associated with delayed ( > 24-120 h) highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC) is an unmet need. APF530, extended-release granisetron, provides sustained release over ≥ 5 days to prevent acute (0-24 h) and delayed CINV. This trial compared the efficacy and safety of APF530 in preventing CINV after HEC in a 3-drug regimen vs a standard 3-drug regimen with ondansetron (Ond). Methods: In this double-blind, multicenter study (NCT02106494), patients (pts) receiving single-day HEC (2011 ASCO guidelines) were randomized 1:1 to APF530 500 mg SC (10 mg granisetron) or Ond 0.15 mg/kg IV and stratified by cisplatin ( ≥ 50 mg/m2, yes/no). Pts were scheduled to receive concomitant dexamethasone (Dex) 12 mg IV + fosaprepitant (Fos) 150 mg IV on day 1 + PO Dex on days 2-4. The primary end point was delayed-phase complete response (CR) (no emesis, no rescue medication). Secondary end points included CR in acute and overall phases and complete control (CC; CR and no more than mild nausea) in acute, delayed, and overall phases. Treatment (tx) comparisons used chi-square test controlling for cisplatin. Adverse events (AEs) and injection-site reactions (ISRs) were assessed. Results: Modified intent-to-treat analysis included 902 pts (APF530, n = 450; Ond, n = 452) with baseline demographics balanced between tx groups. A significantly higher % of APF530 (65%) vs Ond (57%) pts had delayed-phase CR (P= .014). A significantly higher % of APF530 (61%) vs Ond (53%) pts had delayed-phase CC (P= .022, Table). CR and CC rates in acute and overall phases were numerically higher with APF530 vs Ond, but not statistically significant. APF530 was well tolerated. Most common AEs were ISRs, mostly mild or moderate. Conclusions: APF530 with Fos+Dex led to statistically higher CR and CC rates in delayed-phase CINV with HEC vs a standard 3-drug regimen of Ond with Fos+Dex. Clinical trial information: NCT02106494.

Abstract
223 Background: The impact of number of lines of therapy on outcomes following docetaxel (D) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is unclear. We examined outcomes with cabazitaxel (C) and/or abiraterone acetate (A), following D during a period when all three therapies were available. We previously reported that most patients received only two of these three therapies. Among patients who received all three, DCA was administered more commonly and exhibited better overall survival (OS) than DAC after controlling for prognostic factors. Here, we report the impact of number of lines of therapy following D. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the U.S. Oncology network electronic health records (EHR) was conducted of post-D patients with mCRPC who received C and/or A from April 2011 to May 2012. Median OS was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate impact on OS of number of therapies administered, age, Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG2) subtype, Charlson comorbidity index, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), alkaline phosphatase, hemoglobin, narcotic use, and treatment duration. Results: Multivariate analysis showed significantly lower mortality in the three-drug group compared to the two-drug group (HR 0.209 95% CI: 0.092-0.476, p<0.05). 113 patients received three drugs (DCA=77, DAC=36) and 237 received two drugs (DA=183, DC=54). The three-drug cohort was significantly younger than the two-drug group (median age 69 vs. 73). Other significant covariates (p<0.05) for mortality were narcotic use (HR 2.010 [1.240-3.259]), PSA (HR 1.014 [1.001-1.027] and alkaline phosphatase (HR 1.001 [1.000-1.001]. Conclusions: In men with mCRPC receiving C and/or A post-D, patients receiving all three therapies were younger and exhibited significantly better OS after controlling for clinical factors. In those receiving only two therapies, there appeared to be no difference in outcomes for second-line C versus A. Given the favorable impact of receiving all three therapies, more frequent administration of DCA in the three-drug group and better OS for DCA compared to DAC, we hypothesize that DCA may be a more optimal sequence. These results are exploratory and prospective validation is necessary.

Abstract
e20627^ Background: Patients receiving MEC or HEC continue to have breakthrough nausea and emesis despite antiemetic prophylaxis. Few trials have evaluated the efficacy of rescue antiemetics after failed prophylaxis. F, a prodrug of the neurokinin-1 antagonist (NK1a), aprepitant is FDA-approved for the prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting associated with MEC and HEC. F’s safety and efficacy in the prophylactic setting make F an attractive potential rescue therapy. Methods: F 150mg was infused as the initial rescue agent in eligible patients receiving MEC or HEC who had either emesis or nausea despite guideline-based prophylaxis with a 5HT-3 antagonist and dexamethasone. The primary endpoint was improved nausea on a visual analogue scale (VAS) at 2 hours. Secondary endpoints included: VAS at 12 and 24 hrs, rescue medication use, emesis, nutritional intake, adverse events, and proof of the study design as a viable methodology. Results: Eleven adult patients, 6 males and 5 females, were treated per protocol and evaluable for the 24 hour study period. Chemotherapy regimens included HiDAC, R-CHOP, epirubicin/ifosfamide, EPOCH, R-ICE, 7+3, VAC, and HyperCVAD. 3 patients were treated for emesis and 8 for nausea. 91% of patients had improved nausea at 2 hrs, 100% at 12 hrs and 63.6% at 24 hrs. F prevented further emesis in 2 of 3 patients and no patient with initial nausea had subsequent emesis. 9 of 11 (81.8%) patients required additional rescue medication during the study period, mainly due to nausea. Appetite was improved in 8/11 patients. Food and fluid intake improved in 5/11. Adverse effects included headache 18%, dizziness 18%, hiccups 9%, indigestion 9%, and 1 case ifosfamide encephalopathy. The study design required greater than anticipated consented patients due to the success rates of standard antiemetic therapy. Conclusions: F improves breakthrough nausea and related symptoms, and may prevent further emesis but was suboptimal as a single agent in that the majority of patients required a second rescue agent within 24 hrs. Complete response, defined as no emesis and no rescue therapy, may be a more clinically relevant primary endpoint in future trial designs. Clinical trial information: NCT00939302.

Abstract
79 Background: Following docetaxel (D), treatment options for mCRPC include cabazitaxel (CBZ), abiraterone acetate (AA), and enzalutamide. With the introduction of new agents, optimal sequencing is undefined. We evaluated the prevalence of sequencing of AA and CBZ following D in a large community-based cohort to develop a hypothesis for the most optimal sequence. Methods: A retrospective analysis of treatment patterns using the MSH iKnowMed EHR was conducted. Post-D mCRPC patients receiving CBZ and/or AA at full EHR sites with ≥2 visits were included; clinical trial patients excluded. CBZ utilization between Jun’10 and May’12 and sequencing of CBZ or/and AA from Apr’11 and May’12 (when both drugs were available) were examined. OS, time to treatment failure (TTF), and demographics analyses are ongoing. Results: 667 evaluable patients were identified. Overall CBZ (n=359 pts/2 y) utilization declined between Jun’10-May’11 (n=232) and Jun’11-May’12 (n=127). From Apr’11 to May’12: overall AA (n=465 pts/y) utilization increased between Mar-May’11 (n=73) to Jun-Aug’11 (n=164) and subsequently decreased (n=57) from Mar-May’12. Between Apr’11-May’12, 130 patients received both CBZ and AA. More men (P<0.001) received D→CBZ→AA (n=88, 67.7%) compared with D→AA→CBZ (n=42, 32.3%). Median age of patients receiving both CBZ and AA was 67 (44-89) y and their median baseline PSA (111 evaluable) was 84.3 (0.4-7672.2) ng/mL. Conclusions: AA was administered more frequently than CBZ in post-D mCRPC patients. However, the sequence of D→CBZ→AA was more prevalent than D→AA→CBZ in this large community-based cohort. Until predictive biomarkers and outcomes with respective sequences are identified, delivery of all active agents according to patient-specific clinical factors should probably be considered.

Abstract
62 Background: AML and MDS complicate adjuvant CT in BC. Incidence Rates of MDS/AML with pegfilgrastim (PGCSF) use and newer adjuvant regimens in large patient (pt) populations are not widely characterized. Methods: We queried the iKnowMed electronic health record from a large network of community oncology practices for pts diagnosed with stage I-III BC from 2007-2010 with at least 5 visits and follow up (f/u) through 2/2012 for our retrospective study. We stratified pts by adjuvant CT utilization (yes/no), regimen type, PGCSF use, age, and characterized the incidence of MDS/AML captured as a secondary diagnosis. Fisher’s exact test and student t-test were used for categorical and continuous variables, respectively; Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) for risk factors associated with AML/MDS development. Results: We identified 20,900 pts with median f/u of 2.8 years (yrs) (1.2-5.2 yrs). 11,295 pts (54%) received CT, 41% of whom received anthracyclines (A); 9,605 (46%) did not receive CT. Median age of diagnosis in the CT and non-CT arms was 54 and 64 yrs, respectively (p < 0.01). Among the CT-treated group, 12 pts or 0.11% (95% CI, 0.06-0.19) developed AML/MDS with median time to onset of 1.8 yrs and median f/u of 2.7 yrs. Of these 12 pts, 8 received A and 11 PGCSF. In the non-CT group, 18 pts or 0.19% (95% CI, 0.11-0.30) developed AML/MDS with median time to onset of 2.2 yrs and median f/u of 3 yrs (p=NS). Multivariate analysis of pts who received CT revealed pts ≥70 vs. <70 yrs and those that received A-containing vs. alternate regimens were more likely to develop AML/MDS. Conclusions: Adjuvant CT did not increase risk of AML/MDS compared with those that did not receive CT. However, our findings confirm that increased age and A-containing CT regimens are associated with increased risk. The low event rate in our study population may be due to short f/u, younger age in the CT treated arm, and high utilization of non-A CT. Association with PGCSF warrants further evaluation.

Abstract
e15089 Background: Sunitinib is a first-line therapy for patients (pts) with aRCC. As a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), it is associated with toxicities that may impact dosing; dose reductions may result in inferior clinical outcomes (Motzer, 2011 ASCO GU, abstract LBA308). This retrospective study was initiated by USON to evaluate dosing patterns of first-line sunitinib, and its association with toxicities and outcomes in community practices. Methods: Pts with aRCC who started first-line sunitinib between June 1, 2007 and May 31, 2011 at 17 USON practices were identified; clinical data were extracted by chart review from iKnowMed electronic medical records that were linked to USON retail pharmacy database. Pts who were enrolled in clinical trials or receiving care for other primary tumors were excluded. Results: Pt characteristics: N=134; median age = 64 years (range 41–87); ECOG PS 0/1 = 85%; clear cell RCC = 81%; and nephrectomy = 61%. Objective response rate was 16%. Overall survival (OS) was 15.4 months (95% confidence interval 11.9–20.8). Median treatment duration was 4 cycles (range 1–19): 27 pts (20.1%) received only 1 cycle of sunitinib (23 at full dose [50 mg] and 4 at <full dose); 107 pts (79.9%) received >1 cycle of sunitinib (53 received full dose; 35 started at full dose but were dose-reduced; 14 always received <full dose; 5 started at <full dose but were dose-increased to 50 mg). Overall, 45 pts were dose-reduced, principally (93%) due to toxicities; 67% of all dose reductions occurred in the first 3 cycles. 121 pts discontinued sunitinib after completing at least 1 cycle, mostly due to disease progression (PD; 44%) or toxicities (17%); 74% of all discontinuations occurred within the first 5 cycles. Conclusions: RCC pts in community practices commonly undergo sunitinib dose reductions in the first 3 cycles due to toxicities, and discontinue therapy within the first 5 cycles due to PD. The median number of cycles and OS were lower than those reported in clinical trials (Motzer JCO 2009;27:3584–3590). More selective TKIs are needed to reduce toxicities, optimize dosing, and potentially improve outcomes. Funded by a grant from AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Abstract
3024 Background: PX-866, an irreversible pan-isoform inhibitor of Class 1 PI-3K has additive to synergistic effects when combined with docetaxel in xenograft models of NSCLC and SCCHN. A phase I/II study of PX-866 and docetaxel was initiated to further evaluate this combination. Enrollment in phase I is complete, and the randomized, controlled phase II portion is now enrolling patients with either NSCLC or SCCHN. Phase I safety and pharmacokinetics were previously described; the recommended phase II dose of PX-866 was 8 mg daily, the same as the single agent MTD (Jimeno A, et al. AACR-NCI-EORTC, 2011). Updated phase I antitumor and biomarker results are presented here. Methods: Phase 1 consisted of dose escalation of PX-866 at 4, 6, or 8 mg po qd in combination with docetaxel 75 mg/m2 IV once every 21 days (d). Patients had advanced solid tumors for which docetaxel was compendia listed. Tumor restaging was performed every 2 cycles. Archived tumor biopsies were collected for assessment of potential biomarkers of response, including PIK3CA and KRAS mutations and PTEN expression. Results: 43 pts were enrolled: NSCLC (n=6), prostate (n=5), ovarian (n=5), SCCHN (n=3), and pancreatic (n=3) were the most common tumor types. Median time on study (TOS) was 81 d (5-361), with 9 pts still on study. 16 pts received ≥ 6 cycles (6-17), including 3 pts with NSCLC, and 4 pts with ovarian cancer. Biomarker data are available for 20 evaluable pts. Median days on study by mutational status was: PIK3CA/KRAS WT (n=13): 91 d (28-286); PIK3CA-MUT (n=5): 183 d (64-342); KRAS-MUT (n=3): 141 d (125-361); and PIK3CA/KRAS-MUT (n=2): 96 d (86-105). A trend toward longer TOS was observed in pts with PIK3CA-MUT vs PIK3CA/KRAS-WT (p=0.14). Assessment of PTEN is ongoing. Best response in 32 evaluable pts was 2 PR (6%), 22 SD (69%), and 8 PD (25%). The PRs were in NSCLC and ovarian cancer (both PIK3CA/KRAS WT). 8 other pts had ≥15% tumor shrinkage, including NSCLC (n=2). Conclusions: PX-866 with docetaxel was associated with a disease control rate of 75%, with 50% of evaluable pts demonstrating SD or better for ≥ 6 cycles. Based on available data, a trend for a longer TOS was seen with PIK3CA-MUT pts. This relationship will be further evaluated in phase II.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physician-reported performance status (PS) is an important prognostic factor and frequently influences treatment decisions. To the authors' knowledge, the extent, prognostic importance, and predictors of disagreements in PS assessment between physicians and patients have not been adequately examined. METHODS Using North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG) clinical trial data from 1987 through 1990, the authors compared PS (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG] and Karnofsky [KPS]) and nutrition scores reported by physicians and patients individually. Differences were analyzed using a Student t test for paired data and degree of disagreement by kappa statistic. The effect of disagreement on overall survival was determined by the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis. Predictors of disagreement were identified by logistic regression. RESULTS In all, 1636 patients with advanced lung and colorectal cancer had a median survival of 9.8 months (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 9.4-10.4 months). Percent disagreement between patients and physicians regarding KPS, ECOG PS, and nutrition score were 67.1%, 56.6%, and 58.0%, respectively. Physicians were more likely to rate patients better than individual patients were to rate themselves: ECOG (mean 0.91 vs 1.30; P < .0001), KPS (mean 83.3 vs 81.7; P < .0001), and nutrition score (mean 1.6 vs 2.1; P < .0001). Disagreement between patients and their physicians was associated with increased risk of death: KPS (hazards ratio [HR] of 1.16; 95% CI, 1.04-1.30 [P = .008]) and nutrition scores (HR of 1.44; 95% CI, 1.29-1.61 [P < .0001]) after adjustment for covariates. Patient sociodemographic factors that predict disagreement were identified. CONCLUSIONS Physicians and patients frequently disagree regarding PS and nutritional status. Disagreement is associated with an increased risk of death in patients with advanced malignancies. These findings illustrate the limitations of physician-only assessed PS.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Clinicians previously classified GISTs as "benign" or "malignant," but now place resected tumors in risk categories that are based on size and mitotic rate. Historically, GIST patients were managed with surgery alone, as chemotherapy and radiotherapy have minimal activity in this disease. In the pre-imatinib era, patients with recurrent or metastatic disease generally did very poorly. GIST therapy was revolutionized following the discovery of oncogenic mutations in the c-kit gene, as well as in the platelet-derived growth factor receptor. Subsequently, it has been confirmed that the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase is both a diagnostic marker and a useful therapeutic target in GIST. Imatinib, a potent inhibitor of KIT activity, is now standard front-line therapy for advanced GIST. With the introduction of imatinib, there have been dramatic improvements in response rates, time to progression, and survival. Imatinib is now being investigated and shows promise in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings. Unfortunately, many patients eventually recur or progress during imatinib therapy. For these patients, imatinib dose escalation and/or surgical evaluation are appropriate. Additionally, a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor such as SU11248 (sunitinib) is a reasonable option for progressive, imatinib-resistant disease. With the identification of other downstream pathways, several other promising therapies are under current investigation either alone or in combination with imatinib and surgery.
