Abstract
Importance The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in delayed access to medical care. Restrictions to health care specialists, staff shortages, and fear of SARS-CoV-2 infection led to interruptions in routine care, such as early melanoma detection; however, premature mortality and economic burden associated with this postponement have not been studied yet. Objective To determine the premature mortality and economic costs associated with suspended melanoma screenings during COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns by estimating the total burden of delayed melanoma diagnoses for Europe. Design, Setting, and Participants This multicenter economic evaluation used population-based data from patients aged at least 18 years with invasive primary cutaneous melanomas stages I to IV according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) seventh and eighth editions, including melanomas of unknown primary (T0). Data were collected from January 2017 to December 2021 in Switzerland and from January 2019 to December 2021 in Hungary. Data were used to develop an estimation of melanoma upstaging rates in AJCC stages, which was verified with peripandemic data. Years of life lost (YLL) were calculated and were, together with cost data, used for financial estimations. The total financial burden was assessed through direct and indirect treatment costs. Models were building using data from 50 072 patients aged 18 years and older with invasive primary cutaneous melanomas stages I to IV according to the AJCC seventh and eighth edition, including melanomas of unknown primary (T0) from 2 European tertiary centers. Data from European cancer registries included patient-based direct and indirect cost data, country-level economic indicators, melanoma incidence, and population rates per country. Data were analyzed from July 2021 to September 2022. Exposure COVID-19 lockdown-related delay of melanoma detection and consecutive public health and economic burden. As lockdown restrictions varied by country, lockdown scenario was defined as elimination of routine medical examinations and severely restricted access to follow-up examinations for at least 4 weeks. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary outcomes were the total burden of a delay in melanoma diagnosis during COVID-19 lockdown periods, measured using the direct (in US$) and indirect (calculated as YLL plus years lost due to disability [YLD] and disability-adjusted life-years [DALYs]) costs for Europe. Secondary outcomes included estimation of upstaging rate, estimated YLD, YLL, and DALY for each European country, absolute direct and indirect treatment costs per European country, proportion of the relative direct and indirect treatment costs for the countries, and European health expenditure. Results There were an estimated 111 464 (range, 52 454-295 051) YLL due to pandemic-associated delay in melanoma diagnosis in Europe, and estimated total additional costs were $7.65 (range, $3.60 to $20.25) billion. Indirect treatment costs were the main cost driver, accounting for 94.5% of total costs. Estimates for YLD in Europe resulted in 15 360 years for the 17% upstaging model, ranging from 7228 years (8% upstaging model) to 40 660 years (45% upstaging model). Together, YLL and YLD constitute the overall disease burden, ranging from 59 682 DALYs (8% upstaging model) to 335 711 DALYs (45% upstaging model), with 126 824 DALYs for the real-world 17% scenario. Conclusions and Relevance This economic analysis emphasizes the importance of continuing secondary skin cancer prevention measures during pandemics. Beyond the personal outcomes of a delayed melanoma diagnosis, the additional economic and public health consequences are underscored, emphasizing the need to include indirect economic costs in future decision-making processes. These estimates on DALYs and the associated financial losses complement previous studies highlighting the cost-effectiveness of screening for melanoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE Improvements in recurrence-free survival (RFS) were demonstrated in two recent randomized trials for patients with sentinel node (SN)-negative stage IIB or IIC melanoma receiving adjuvant systemic therapy (pembrolizumab/nivolumab). However, adverse events also occurred. Accurate individualized prognostic estimates of RFS and overall survival (OS) would allow patients to more accurately weigh the risks and benefits of adjuvant therapy. Since the current American Joint Committee on Cancer eighth edition (AJCC-8) melanoma staging system focuses on melanoma-specific survival, we developed a multivariable risk prediction calculator that provides estimates of 5- and 10-year RFS and OS for these patients. METHODS Data were extracted from the Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA) database for patients diagnosed with stage II (clinical or pathological) melanoma (n = 3,220). Survival prediction models were developed using multivariable Cox regression analyses (MIA models) and externally validated twice using data sets from the United States and the Netherlands. Each model's performance was assessed using C-statistics and calibration plots and compared with Cox models on the basis of AJCC-8 staging (stage models). RESULTS The 5-year and 10-year RFS C-statistics were 0.70 and 0.73 (MIA-model) versus 0.61 and 0.60 (stage-model), respectively. For OS, the 5-year and 10-year C-statistics were 0.71 and 0.75 (MIA-model) compared with 0.62 and 0.61 (stage-model), respectively. The MIA models were well calibrated and externally validated. CONCLUSION The MIA models offer accurate and personalized estimates of both RFS and OS in patients with stage II melanoma even in the absence of pathological staging with SN biopsy. These models were robust on external validations and may be used in everyday practice both with (ideally) and without performing SN biopsy to identify high-risk patients for further management strategies. An online tool will be available at the MIA website (Risk Prediction Tools).

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Clinically localized Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) has been associated with high rates of disease relapse. This study examines how primary tumor anatomic site drives patterns of care and outcomes in a large cohort treated in the contemporary era. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patterns of care and associated outcomes were evaluated for clinically Stage I-II MCC patients treated at our institution with adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) to the primary site and/or regional nodal basin as a component of their curative intent therapy between 2014-2021. RESULTS Of 80 patients who met inclusion criteria, the primary tumor anatomic site was head and neck (HN) for 42 (53%) and non-head and neck (NHN) for 38 (47%). Primary tumor risk factors were similar between cohorts. Fewer patients with HN tumors had wide local excision (WLE; HN-81% vs. NHN-100% p < 0.01). Of those undergoing WLE, patients with HN tumors received higher dose adjuvant RT (>50 Gy: HN-70% vs. NHN-8%; p < 0.01). Patients with HN tumors were less likely to undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy (HN-62%vs. NHN-100%; p < 0.01) and more likely to have elective nodal RT (HN-48% vs. NHN-0%). Despite varying management strategies, there was no significant difference in local recurrence-free survival (3-yr LRFS HN-94% vs. NHN-94%; p = 0.97), nodal recurrence-free survival (3-yr NRFS HN-89% vs. NHN-85%; p = 0.71) or overall recurrence-free survival (3-yr RFS 73% HN vs. 80% NHN; p = 0.44). CONCLUSIONS Among patients with primary MCC who had RT as a component of their initial treatment strategy, anatomically-driven heterogeneous treatment approaches were associated with equally excellent locoregional disease control.

Abstract
Mucosal melanoma remains a rare cancer with high mortality and a paucity of therapeutic options. This is due in significant part to its low incidence leading to limited patient access to expert care and downstream clinical/basic science data for research interrogation. Clinical challenges such as delayed and at times inaccurate diagnoses, and lack of consensus tumor staging have added to the suboptimal outcomes for these patients. Clinical trials, while promising, have been difficult to activate and accrue. While individual institutions and investigators have attempted to seek solutions to such problems, international, national, and local partnership may provide the keys to more efficient and innovative paths forward. Furthermore, a mucosal melanoma coalition would provide a potential network for patients and caregivers to seek expert opinion and advice. The Melanoma Research Foundation Mucosal Melanoma Meeting (December 16, 2022, New York, USA) highlighted the current clinical challenges faced by patients, providers, and scientists, identified current and future clinical trial investigations in this rare disease space, and aimed to increase national and international collaboration among the mucosal melanoma community in an effort to improve patient outcomes. The included proceedings highlight the clinical challenges of mucosal melanoma, global clinical trial experience, basic science advances in mucosal melanoma, and future directions, including the creation of shared rare tumor registries and enhanced collaborations.

Abstract
Importance The gut microbiome modulates the immune system and responses to immunotherapy in patients with late-stage melanoma. It is unknown whether fecal microbiota profiles differ between healthy individuals and patients with melanoma or if microbiota profiles differ among patients with different stages of melanoma. Defining gut microbiota profiles in individuals without melanoma and those with early-stage and late-stage melanoma may reveal features associated with disease progression. Objective To characterize and compare gut microbiota profiles between healthy volunteers and patients with melanoma and between patients with early-stage and late-stage melanoma. Design, Setting, and Participants This single-site case-control study took place at an academic comprehensive cancer center. Fecal samples were collected from systemic treatment-naive patients with stage I to IV melanoma from June 1, 2015, to January 31, 2019, and from healthy volunteers from June 1, 2021, to January 31, 2022. Patients were followed up for disease recurrence until November 30, 2021. Main Outcomes and Measures Fecal microbiota was profiled by 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing. Clinical and pathologic characteristics, treatment, and disease recurrence were extracted from electronic medical records. Fecal microbiome diversity, taxonomic profiles and inferred functional profiles were compared between groups. Results A total of 228 participants were enrolled (126 men [55.3%]; median age, 59 [range, 21-90] years), including 49 volunteers without melanoma, 38 patients with early-stage melanoma (29 with stage I or melanoma in situ and 9 with stage II), and 141 with late-stage melanoma (66 with stage III and 75 with stage IV). Community differences were observed between patients with melanoma and volunteers. Patients with melanoma had a higher relative abundance of Fusobacterium compared with controls on univariate analysis (0.19% vs 0.003%; P < .001), but this association was attenuated when adjusted for covariates (log2 fold change of 5.18 vs controls; P = .09). Microbiomes were distinct between patients with early-stage and late-stage melanoma. Early-stage melanoma had a higher alpha diversity (Inverse Simpson Index 14.6 [IQR, 9.8-23.0] vs 10.8 [IQR, 7.2-16.8]; P = .003), and a higher abundance of the genus Roseburia on univariate analysis (2.4% vs 1.2%; P < .001) though statistical significance was lost with covariate adjustment (log2 fold change of 0.86 vs controls; P = .13). Multiple functional pathways were differentially enriched between groups. No associations were observed between the microbial taxa and disease recurrence in patients with stage III melanoma treated with adjuvant immunotherapy. Conclusions and Relevance The findings of this case-control study suggest that fecal microbiota profiles were significantly different among patients with melanoma and controls and between patients with early-stage and late-stage melanoma. Prospective investigations of the gut microbiome and changes that occur with disease progression may identify future microbial targets for intervention.

Abstract
Advances in our understanding of melanoma biology and the role of immune checkpoint blockade and targeted therapy have ushered in a new and rapidly evolving era of multidisciplinary care for patients with melanoma. Based on efficacy for patients with metastatic melanoma, these systemic treatment approaches have been introduced into the adjuvant and, more recently, the neoadjuvant landscape. This report highlights the results of key clinical studies published or initially presented in 2021 that have informed our evidence-based approach to melanoma multidisciplinary care, primarily related to adjuvant and neoadjuvant approaches for patients with resectable or resected stage III or high-risk stage II melanoma and their impact on clinical care. Knowledge concerning these areas of active clinical investigation is critical for surgical oncologists who care for melanoma patients as the treatment landscape continues to evolve.

Abstract
Outcomes for patients with melanoma have improved over the past decade with the clinical development and approval of immunotherapies targeting immune checkpoint receptors such as programmed death-1 (PD-1), programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) or cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4). Combinations of these checkpoint therapies with other agents are now being explored to improve outcomes and enhance benefit-risk profiles of treatment. Alternative inhibitory receptors have been identified that may be targeted for anti-tumor immune therapy, such as lymphocyte-activation gene-3 (LAG-3), as have several potential target oncogenes for molecularly targeted therapy, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Unfortunately, many patients still progress and acquire resistance to immunotherapy and molecularly targeted therapies. To bypass resistance, combination treatment with immunotherapies and single or multiple TKIs have been shown to improve prognosis compared to monotherapy. The number of new combinations treatment under development for melanoma provides options for the number of patients to achieve a therapeutic benefit. Many diagnostic and prognostic assays have begun to show clinical applicability providing additional tools to optimize and individualize treatments. However, the question on the optimal algorithm of first- and later-line therapies and the search for biomarkers to guide these decisions are still under investigation. This year, the Melanoma Bridge Congress (Dec 1st-3rd, 2022, Naples, Italy) addressed the latest advances in melanoma research, focusing on themes of paramount importance for melanoma prevention, diagnosis and treatment. This included sessions dedicated to systems biology on immunotherapy, immunogenicity and gene expression profiling, biomarkers, and combination treatment strategies.

Abstract
Cutaneous melanoma is a malignancy arising from melanocytes of the skin. Incidence rates are rising, particularly in White populations. Cutaneous melanoma is typically driven by exposure to ultraviolet radiation from natural sunlight and indoor tanning, although there are several subtypes that are not related to ultraviolet radiation exposure. Primary melanomas are often darkly pigmented, but can be amelanotic, with diagnosis based on a combination of clinical and histopathological findings. Primary melanoma is treated with wide excision, with margins determined by tumour thickness. Further treatment depends on the disease stage (following histopathological examination and, where appropriate, sentinel lymph node biopsy) and can include surgery, checkpoint immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or radiotherapy. Systemic drug therapies are recommended as an adjunct to surgery in patients with resectable locoregional metastases and are the mainstay of treatment in advanced melanoma. Management of advanced melanoma is complex, particularly in those with cerebral metastasis. Multidisciplinary care is essential. Systemic drug therapies, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors, have substantially increased melanoma survival following a series of landmark approvals from 2011 onward.

Abstract
Stage III melanoma includes nodal metastasis or in-transit disease. Five-year survival rates vary between 32% and 93%. The identification of high-risk patients is important for clinical decision making. We demonstrated previously that ≥1 circulating tumor cells (CTCs) at baseline was associated with recurrence. In this study, we investigated how frequently CTCs were identified prior to radiologically detected recurrence. Stage III patients (n = 325) had imaging at baseline and q 3 months. Baseline and q 6-12 months blood draws (7.5 mL) were performed to identify CTCs up to 3.5 years from diagnosis. CTC assessment was performed using the immunomagnetic capture of CD146-positive cells and anti-MEL-PE. The presence of one or more CTCs was considered positive. We analyzed the cohort of patients with relapse confirmed by radiologic imaging. CTC collection dates were assessed to determine the lead time for CTC detection. CTC-negative patients were significantly less likely to relapse compared to patients positive for CTCs (p-value < 0.001). Within the 325-patient cohort, 143 patients (44%) had recurrence, with a median follow-up of 52 months from diagnosis. The cohort (n = 143) with positive imaging and CTC results revealed 76% of patients (108/143) had CTC+ results before the radiological identification of relapse. The median time between positive CTC and positive imaging was 9 months. CTCs were positive in >75% of patients prior to relapse at a median of 9 months before radiologic detection.

Abstract
The Great Debate session at the 2022 Melanoma Bridge congress (December 1-3) featured counterpoint views from leading experts on five contemporary topics of debate in the management of melanoma. The debates considered the choice of anti-lymphocyte-activation gene (LAG)-3 therapy or ipilimumab in combination with anti-programmed death (PD)-1 therapy, whether anti-PD-1 monotherapy is still acceptable as a comparator arm in clinical trials, whether adjuvant treatment of melanoma is still a useful treatment option, the role of adjuvant therapy in stage II melanoma, what role surgery will continue to have in the treatment of melanoma. As is customary in the Melanoma Bridge Great Debates, the speakers are invited by the meeting Chairs to express one side of the assigned debate and the opinions given may not fully reflect personal views. Audiences voted in favour of either side of the argument both before and after each debate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Modern systemic therapy (immune checkpoint blockade [ICB], targeted therapy) has improved survival for patients with metastatic melanoma. The role of adrenal metastasectomy is not well characterized in this setting. METHODS Consecutive patients treated with adrenalectomy 1/1/2007-1/1/2019 were retrospectively compared to patients treated with systemic therapy alone in the same time period. Overall survival and survival after adrenal metastasis were compared, prognostic factors associated with survival after adrenal metastasis development were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 74 patients underwent adrenalectomy and were compared to 69 treated with systemic therapy alone. The most common indications for adrenalectomy were to render the patient disease-free in the setting of isolated adrenal metastasis (n = 32, 43.2%) or treatment of isolated progression in the setting of other stable/responding metastases (n = 32, 43.2%). Patients treated surgically had longer survival (116.9 vs. 11.0 months after adrenal metastasis diagnosis, p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, receipt of ICB (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.62, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [0.40-0.95]) and selection for adrenalectomy (HR: 0.27, 95% CI: [0.17-0.42]) were the strongest factors associated with improved survival after adrenal metastasis diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Selective application of adrenal metastasectomy is associated with prolonged survival benefit and remains an important consideration in the multidisciplinary management of patients with metastatic melanoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE Overweight/obese (OW/OB) patients with metastatic melanoma unexpectedly have improved outcomes with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and BRAF-targeted therapies. The mechanism(s) underlying this association remain unclear, thus we assessed the integrated molecular, metabolic, and immune profile of tumors, as well as gut microbiome features, for associations with patient body mass index (BMI). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Associations between BMI [normal (NL < 25) or OW/OB (BMI ≥ 25)] and tumor or microbiome characteristics were examined in specimens from 782 patients with metastatic melanoma across 7 cohorts. DNA associations were evaluated in The Cancer Genome Atlas cohort. RNA sequencing from 4 cohorts (n = 357) was batch corrected and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) by BMI category was performed. Metabolic profiling was conducted in a subset of patients (x = 36) by LC/MS, and in flow-sorted melanoma tumor cells (x = 37) and patient-derived melanoma cell lines (x = 17) using the Seahorse XF assay. Gut microbiome features were examined in an independent cohort (n = 371). RESULTS DNA mutations and copy number variations were not associated with BMI. GSEA demonstrated that tumors from OW/OB patients were metabolically quiescent, with downregulation of oxidative phosphorylation and multiple other metabolic pathways. Direct metabolite analysis and functional metabolic profiling confirmed decreased central carbon metabolism in OW/OB metastatic melanoma tumors and patient-derived cell lines. The overall structure, diversity, and taxonomy of the fecal microbiome did not differ by BMI. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the host metabolic phenotype influences melanoma metabolism and provide insight into the improved outcomes observed in OW/OB patients with metastatic melanoma treated with ICIs and targeted therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUD Treatment options for patients with melanoma brain metastasis (MBM) have changed significantly in the last decade. Few studies have evaluated changes in outcomes and factors associated with survival in MBM patients over time. The aim of this study is to evaluate changes in clinical features and overall survival (OS) for MBM patients. METHODS Patients diagnosed with MBMs from 1/1/2009-12/31/2013 (Prior Era; PE) and 1/1/2014-12/31/2018 (Current Era; CE) at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center were included in this retrospective analysis. The primary outcome measure was OS. Log-rank test assessed differences between groups; multivariable analyses were performed with Cox proportional hazards models and recursive partitioning analysis (RPA). RESULTS 791 MBM patients (PE, n=332; CE, n=459) were included in analysis. Median OS from MBM diagnosis was 10.3 months (95% CI, 8.9 - 12.4) and improved in the CE versus PE (14.4 vs. 10.3 months, P < .001). Elevated serum LDH was the only factor associated with worse OS in both PE and CE patients. Factors associated with survival in CE MBM patients included patient age, primary tumor Breslow thickness, prior immunotherapy, leptomeningeal disease (LMD), symptomatic MBMs, and whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). Several factors associated with OS in the PE were not significant in the CE. RPA demonstrated that elevated serum LDH and prior immunotherapy treatment are the most important determinants of survival in CE MBM patients. CONCLUSIONS OS and factors associated with OS have changed for MBM patients. This information can inform contemporary patient management and clinical investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence for the prognostic importance of tumor thickness in acral melanoma (AM) patients is limited. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to determine the prognostic impact of Breslow thickness in AM. METHODS This multicenter study enrolled patients diagnosed with localized AM between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2017. Melanoma-specific survival (MSS) in different tumor thickness strata (T1-T4: ≤1, >1-2, >2-4, >4 mm, respectively) was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Comparisons were performed by the log-rank test and multivariable Cox regression. RESULTS A total of 853 patients with clinical N0 (cN0) AM were included in the analysis. The median follow-up time was 60.1 months. The median MSS in patients with T1-T4 disease was not reached, 111.0, 92.8, and 67.1 months, respectively. MSS differed significantly among cN0 patients with T1-T3 AM (log-rank P = .004, .012, <0.001 for T1 vs T2, T2 vs T3, and T1 vs T3, respectively); however, there was no significant difference between T3 and T4 AM (hazard ratio = 0.82, 95% CI, 0.62-1.09). Six-subgroup analyses confirmed that survival outcomes were similar between different subgroups with tumor thickness >2 mm. LIMITATIONS The limitations were retrospective design and some missing variables. CONCLUSIONS There was no association between tumor thickness and survival in AM patients with a Breslow thickness >2 mm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with stage IIB or IIC melanoma who undergo surgery alone are at a substantial risk for disease recurrence. Adjuvant pembrolizumab significantly improved recurrence-free survival versus placebo in stage IIB or IIC melanoma in the first interim analysis of the KEYNOTE-716 trial. Here, we report results from the secondary endpoint of distant metastasis-free survival (prespecified third interim analysis), and recurrence-free survival with longer follow-up. METHODS KEYNOTE-716 is a multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover or rechallenge, randomised, phase 3 trial done at 160 academic medical centres and hospitals across 16 countries. Eligible patients were aged 12 years and older with newly-diagnosed, completely resected, and histologically confirmed stage IIB (T3b or T4a) or IIC (T4b) cutaneous melanoma; negative sentinel lymph node biopsy; and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either 200 mg of pembrolizumab (2 mg/kg up to a maximum of 200 mg in paediatric patients) or placebo, both intravenously, every 3 weeks for 17 cycles (part 1) or until disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity. Eligible patients with disease recurrence could receive further treatment with pembrolizumab in the part 2 crossover or rechallenge phase. Randomisation was done using an interactive response technology system and stratified by T category and paediatric status. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed recurrence-free survival (assessed here with longer follow-up), and we report the prespecified third interim analysis of distant metastasis-free survival (secondary endpoint). Efficacy analyses were done in the intention-to-treat population (all patients who were randomly assigned, according to assigned group) and safety was assessed in all patients who were randomly assigned and received at least one dose of trial treatment, according to the treatment received. KEYNOTE-716 is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03553836, and has completed recruitment. FINDINGS Between Sept 23, 2018, and Nov 4, 2020, 976 patients were randomly assigned to receive pembrolizumab (n=487) or placebo (n=489). At a median follow-up of 27·4 months (IQR 23·1-31·7), median distant metastasis-free survival was not reached (95% CI not reached [NR]-NR) in either group. Pembrolizumab significantly improved distant metastasis-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] 0·64, 95% CI 0·47-0·88, p=0·0029) versus placebo. Median recurrence-free survival was 37·2 months (95% CI NR-NR) in the pembrolizumab group and not reached in the placebo group (95% CI NR-NR). The risk of recurrence remained lower with pembrolizumab versus placebo (HR 0·64, 95% CI 0·50-0·84). The most common grade 3 or worse adverse events were hypertension (16 [3%] of 483 patients in the pembrolizumab group vs 17 [4%] of 486 patients in the placebo group), diarrhoea (eight [2%] vs one [<1%]), rash (seven [1%] vs two [<1%]), autoimmune hepatitis (seven [1%] vs two [<1%]), and increased lipase (six [1%] vs eight [2%]). Treatment-related serious adverse events occurred in 49 (10%) patients in the pembrolizumab group and 11 (2%) patients in the placebo group. No treatment-related deaths were reported. INTERPRETATION Adjuvant pembrolizumab is an efficacious treatment option for resected stage IIB and IIC melanoma, with significant improvement in distant-metastasis free survival versus placebo and continued reduction in the risk of recurrence with an adverse event profile consistent with previous studies of pembrolizumab. The overall benefit-risk of pembrolizumab continues to be positive in the adjuvant setting. FUNDING Merck Sharp & Dohme, a subsidiary of Merck & Co.

Abstract
Relatlimab and nivolumab combination immunotherapy improves progression-free survival over nivolumab monotherapy in patients with unresectable advanced melanoma1. We investigated this regimen in patients with resectable clinical stage III or oligometastatic stage IV melanoma (NCT02519322). Patients received two neoadjuvant doses (nivolumab 480 mg and relatlimab 160 mg intravenously every 4 weeks) followed by surgery, and then ten doses of adjuvant combination therapy. The primary end point was pathologic complete response (pCR) rate2. The combination resulted in 57% pCR rate and 70% overall pathologic response rate among 30 patients treated. The radiographic response rate using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 was 57%. No grade 3-4 immune-related adverse events were observed in the neoadjuvant setting. The 1- and 2-year recurrence-free survival rate was 100% and 92% for patients with any pathologic response, compared to 88% and 55% for patients who did not have a pathologic response (P = 0.005). Increased immune cell infiltration at baseline, and decrease in M2 macrophages during treatment, were associated with pathologic response. Our results indicate that neoadjuvant relatlimab and nivolumab induces a high pCR rate. Safety during neoadjuvant therapy is favourable compared to other combination immunotherapy regimens. These data, in combination with the results of the RELATIVITY-047 trial1, provide further confirmation of the efficacy and safety of this new immunotherapy regimen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Risk-based thresholds to guide management are undefined in the treatment of primary cutaneous melanoma but are essential to advance the field from traditional stage-based treatment to more individualized care. METHODS To estimate treatment risk thresholds, hypothetical clinical melanoma scenarios were developed and a stratified random sample was distributed to expert melanoma clinicians via an anonymous web-based survey. Scenarios provided a defined 5-year risk of recurrence and asked for recommendations regarding clinical follow-up, imaging, and adjuvant therapy. Marginal probability of response across the spectrum of 5-year recurrence risk was estimated. The risk at which 50% of respondents recommended a treatment was defined as the risk threshold. RESULTS The overall response rate was 56% (89/159). Three separate multivariable models were constructed to estimate the recommendations for clinical follow-up more than twice/year, for surveillance cross-sectional imaging at least once/year, and for adjuvant therapy. A 36% 5-year risk of recurrence was identified as the threshold for recommending clinical follow-up more than twice/year. The thresholds for recommending cross-sectional imaging and adjuvant therapy were 30 and 59%, respectively. Thresholds varied with the age of the hypothetical patient: at younger ages they were constant but increased rapidly at ages 60 years and above. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, these data provide the first estimates of clinically significant treatment thresholds for patients with cutaneous melanoma based on risk of recurrence. Future refinement and adoption of thresholds would permit assessment of the clinical utility of novel prognostic tools and represents an early step toward individualizing treatment recommendations.

Abstract
Importance Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is a standard staging procedure for cutaneous melanoma. Regional disease control is a clinically important therapeutic goal of surgical intervention, including nodal surgery. Objective To determine how frequently SLN biopsy without completion lymph node dissection (CLND) results in long-term regional nodal disease control in patients with SLN metastases. Design, Setting, and Participants The second Multicenter Selective Lymphadenectomy Trial (MSLT-II), a prospective multicenter randomized clinical trial, randomized participants with SLN metastases to either CLND or nodal observation. The current analysis examines observation patients with regard to regional nodal recurrence. Trial patients were aged 18 to 75 years with melanoma metastatic to SLN(s). Data were collected from December 2004 to April 2019, and data were analyzed from July 2020 to January 2022. Interventions Nodal observation with ultrasonography rather than CLND. Main Outcomes and Measures In-basin nodal recurrence. Results Of 823 included patients, 479 (58.2%) were male, and the mean (SD) age was 52.8 (13.8) years. Among 855 observed basins, at 10 years, 80.2% (actuarial; 95% CI, 77-83) of basins were free of nodal recurrence. By univariable analysis, freedom from regional nodal recurrence was associated with age younger than 50 years (hazard ratio [HR], 0.49; 95% CI, 0.34-0.70; P < .001), nonulcerated melanoma (HR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.36-0.49; P < .001), thinner primary melanoma (less than 1.5 mm; HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.27-0.78; P = .004), axillary basin (HR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.44-0.86; P = .005), fewer positive SLNs (1 vs 3 or more; HR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.14-0.75; P = .008), and SLN tumor burden (measured by diameter less than 1 mm [HR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.26-0.60; P = .001] or less than 5% area [HR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.24-0.54; P < .001]). By multivariable analysis, younger age (HR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.39-0.84; P = .004), thinner primary melanoma (HR, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.22-0.70; P = .002), axillary basin (HR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.31-0.96; P = .03), SLN metastasis diameter less than 1 mm (HR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.33-0.81; P = .007), and area less than 5% (HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.38-0.88; P = .01) were associated with basin control. When looking at the identified risk factors of age (50 years or older), ulceration, Breslow thickness greater than 3.5 mm, nonaxillary basin, and tumor burden of maximum diameter of 1 mm or greater and/or metastasis area of 5% or greater and excluding missing value cases, basin disease-free rates at 5 years were 96% (95% CI, 88-100) for patients with 0 risk factors, 89% (95% CI, 82-96) for 1 risk factor, 86% (95% CI, 80-93) for 2 risk factors, 80% (95% CI, 71-89) for 3 risk factors, 61% (95% CI, 48-74) for 4 risk factors, and 54% (95% CI, 36-72) for 5 or 6 risk factors. Conclusions and Relevance This randomized clinical trial was the largest prospective evaluation of long-term regional basin control in patients with melanoma who had nodal observation after removal of a positive SLN. SLN biopsy without CLND cleared disease in the affected nodal basin in most patients, even those with multiple risk factors for in-basin recurrence. In addition to its well-validated value in staging, SLN biopsy may also be regarded as therapeutic in some patients. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00297895.

Abstract
PURPOSE The treatment paradigm for patients with anorectal melanoma eligible for sphincter-sparing excision has evolved over time. This study examines outcomes across a 30-year era in this rare disease with poor prognosis. METHODS AND MATERIALS This retrospective cohort study included all patients with pelvis-confined anorectal melanoma undergoing sphincter-sparing local excision and adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) at our institution between 1989 and 2020. Patterns of care and predictors of outcome were evaluated. RESULTS Of the 108 patients included, 92 (85%) presented with clinically uninvolved nodes. For clinically node-negative patients, the sentinel lymph node biopsy rate increased from 18/43 (42%) before 2008 to 38/49 (78%) subsequently and the use of inguinal nodal RT decreased from 33/35 (94%) before 2003 to 1/57 (2%) subsequently. All clinically node-positive patients treated before 2003 received inguinal nodal RT, whereas no node-positive patient treated subsequently received this treatment. Patients treated before 2016 mostly received biochemotherapy, and those treated since 2017 mostly received immune checkpoint inhibitors. With median follow-up of 32 months, 77 patients (71%) recurred. Three-year actuarial outcomes were 84% local control, 64% nodal control, 38% distant metastasis-free survival, 30% disease-free survival, and 51% melanoma-specific survival. Ostomy-free survival at last follow-up was 95%. Factors contributing to outcome were identified. Outcomes for patients treated in the contemporary era (2017+) were not significantly better than those treated earlier. CONCLUSIONS Sphincter-sparing surgery followed by adjuvant RT results in excellent local control and ostomy-free survival for locally resectable anorectal melanoma. Overall oncologic outcomes continue to be poor, reinforcing the need to identify more effective therapies.

Abstract
Melanoma cells display distinct intrinsic phenotypic states. Here, we seek to characterize the molecular regulation of these states using multi-omic analyses of whole exome, transcriptome, microRNA, long non-coding RNA and DNA methylation data together with reverse-phase protein array data on a panel of 68 highly annotated early passage melanoma cell lines. We demonstrate that clearly defined cancer cell intrinsic transcriptomic programs are maintained in melanoma cells ex vivo and remain highly conserved within melanoma tumors, are associated with distinct immune features within tumors, and differentially correlate with checkpoint inhibitor and adoptive T cell therapy efficacy. Through integrative analyses we demonstrate highly complex multi-omic regulation of melanoma cell intrinsic programs that provide key insights into the molecular maintenance of phenotypic states. These findings have implications for cancer biology and the identification of new therapeutic strategies. Further, these deeply characterized cell lines will serve as an invaluable resource for future research in the field.

Abstract
Exciting advances in melanoma systemic therapies have presented the opportunity for surgical oncologists and their multidisciplinary colleagues to test the neoadjuvant systemic treatment approach in high-risk, resectable metastatic melanomas. Here we describe the state of the science of neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAST) for melanoma, focusing on the surgical aspects and the key role of the surgical oncologist in this treatment paradigm. This paper summarizes the past decade of developments in melanoma treatment and the current evidence for NAST in stage III melanoma specifically. Issues of surgical relevance are discussed, including the risk of progression on NAST prior to surgery. Technical aspects, such as the definition of resectability for melanoma and the extent and scope of routine surgery are presented. Other important issues, such as the utility of radiographic response evaluation and method of pathologic response evaluation, are addressed. Surgical complications and perioperative management of NAST related adverse events are considered. The International Neoadjuvant Melanoma Consortium has the goal of harmonizing NAST trials in melanoma to facilitate rapid advances with new approaches, and facilitating the comparison of results across trials evaluating different treatment regimens. Our ultimate goals are to provide definitive proof of the safety and efficacy of NAST in melanoma, sufficient for NAST to become an acceptable standard of care, and to leverage this platform to allow more personalized, biomarker-driven, tailored approaches to subsequent treatment and surveillance.

Abstract
Treatment with therapy targeting BRAF and MEK (BRAF/MEK) has revolutionized care in melanoma and other cancers; however, therapeutic resistance is common and innovative treatment strategies are needed1,2. Here we studied a group of patients with melanoma who were treated with neoadjuvant BRAF/MEK-targeted therapy ( NCT02231775 , n = 51) and observed significantly higher rates of major pathological response (MPR; ≤10% viable tumour at resection) and improved recurrence-free survival (RFS) in female versus male patients (MPR, 66% versus 14%, P = 0.001; RFS, 64% versus 32% at 2 years, P = 0.021). The findings were validated in several additional cohorts2-4 of patients with unresectable metastatic melanoma who were treated with BRAF- and/or MEK-targeted therapy (n = 664 patients in total), demonstrating improved progression-free survival and overall survival in female versus male patients in several of these studies. Studies in preclinical models demonstrated significantly impaired anti-tumour activity in male versus female mice after BRAF/MEK-targeted therapy (P = 0.006), with significantly higher expression of the androgen receptor in tumours of male and female BRAF/MEK-treated mice versus the control (P = 0.0006 and P = 0.0025). Pharmacological inhibition of androgen receptor signalling improved responses to BRAF/MEK-targeted therapy in male and female mice (P = 0.018 and P = 0.003), whereas induction of androgen receptor signalling (through testosterone administration) was associated with a significantly impaired response to BRAF/MEK-targeted therapy in male and female patients (P = 0.021 and P < 0.0001). Together, these results have important implications for therapy.

Abstract
e21556 Background: Patients diagnosed with AJCC stage II melanoma have a 10-year melanoma specific survival (MSS) of 84%, ranging from 88% for stage IIA to 75% for stage IIC. The 12%-25% rate of melanoma mortality correlates with the rate of recurrence for these patients. Current prognostic tools are based on the AJCC 8th Edition (AJCC-8), which gives MSS based on tumor thickness and ulceration status but does not consider any other patient or tumor characteristics. The rate of recurrence-free survival (RFS) may be more important than MSS in deciding whether a patient should be offered adjuvant immunotherapy. We have therefore developed a risk prediction tool to assist in this process. Methods: Data were extracted from a large Australian melanoma treatment center research database for patients diagnosed with stage II melanoma (n = 3243). Parameters included: age, sex, tumor thickness, mitotic rate, ulceration status, lymphovascular invasion, presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, regression, sentinel node status, presence of satellites, body site, recurrence (including time to event) and date of last follow-up. Multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed to develop models for survival prediction. These were then externally validated using a dataset from a large US melanoma treatment center (n = 703). Discrimination and calibration of each model were assessed using the C-statistics and calibration plots respectively. Results: The table shows the C-statistics for the Australian RFS model and the AJCC-8 staging, along with validations. These demonstrated statistically significant discrimination gains by using the Australian model over the AJCC model, which ranged from 8.3% to 12.2%. The Australian model was well calibrated. Conclusions: There was good discrimination of the RFS model for individual patients over both 5 and 10 years, which held true on external validation. This model offers considerable improvement in discriminative accuracy for predicting RFS compared to using the AJCC-8 staging and therefore may be clinically useful to guide adjuvant immunotherapy recommendations.

Abstract
9576 Background: MCC is a rare skin cancer historically associated with poor survival rates and which is increasing in incidence. A small number of retrospective series suggest that MCCUP may be associated with better prognosis than MCCKP while others report worse outcomes. Recent advances in immunotherapy have changed the multimodal treatment landscape and outcomes of advanced MCC pts. We describe our experience with the management and outcomes of pts presenting with regional MCC metastasis of known and unknown primary origin. Methods: A retrospective review of pts with clinical regional disease at MCC diagnosis treated at our institution from 3/2003-3/2021 was performed. Clinicopathologic variables and outcomes were assessed. Overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated by the Kaplan Meier method. Results: Of 98 pts with regional disease on exam at presentation, 56 (57%) had MCCUP and 42 (43%) had MCCKP. Median follow-up from diagnosis to last follow-up or death was 33 months. Pts were generally older (MCCUP vs MCCKP: 68.7 vs 73.1 years), male (MCCUP vs MCCKP: 82% vs 74%) and Caucasian (MCCUP vs MCCKP: 84% vs 83%). Over half the pts had a history of another malignancy (MCCUP vs MCCKP: 52% vs 60%) with 9% and 14% being immunocompromised at diagnosis, respectively. After completion of staging workup, MCCUP pts had earlier stage disease at presentation compared with MCCKP pts (stage IIIA: 80% vs 55%, IIIB: 5% vs 31%, IV: 15% vs 14%, respectively). The cervical nodal basin was most commonly involved in MCCUP pts while regional disease was more varied in MCCKP pts (MCCUP vs MCCKP: cervical 54% vs 28%, axillary 15% vs 33%, inguinal 33% vs 3%, inguinal and pelvic 0% vs 11%, in transit 0% vs 14%). Formal lymphadenectomy (LND) was performed in 27 (48%) and 18 (43%) of MCCUP and MCCKP pts, respectively. Of these pts, 33% and 50% received neoadjuvant systemic therapy, most commonly immunotherapy; 70% and 55% received adjuvant radiotherapy. MCCUP pts had better outcomes compared to MCCKP pts (Table), with longer RFS in pts who underwent LND (not reached [NR] vs 13.1 months) as well as longer PFS in pts who did not undergo LND (17 vs 9 months) with longer OS in both subgroups (LND: NR vs 102.7 months; no LND: 74.4 vs 48.7 months). Conclusions: MCCUP patients with regional disease on exam at presentation have improved survival compared to MCCKP. Current stage III survival estimates may underestimate survival in patients with resectable disease. [Table: see text]

Abstract
TPS9602 Background: Preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis is commonly used to reduce surgical site infections (SSIs). However, the rate of SSIs following surgical procedures classified as clean is only 2-3%. Overuse of antibiotics is associated with several potential adverse effects, including dysregulation of the gut microbiome. Disruption of the composition and function of the native gut microbiota, referred to as dysbiosis, has been implicated in a number of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, as well as gastrointestinal (GI) and non-GI cancers. Recent studies have demonstrated that antibiotics have a profound and persistent effect on the gut microbiota, as evidenced by diminished overall abundance and diversity, as well as alteration of community composition that includes a decreased relative abundance of bacteria in the Ruminococcaceae family. In melanoma, diversity of gut microbiota and relative abundance of Ruminococaceae have been linked to improved survival and enhanced response following immune checkpoint blockade. In this study, we seek to determine the impact of preoperative prophylactic antibiotic use on the gut microbiome in patients following surgery for stage I or II melanoma. Methods: In this non-comparative randomized pilot trial, the impact of prophylactic antibiotic use at the time of surgical intervention on gut microbiome diversity and composition will be studied. Patients diagnosed with clinical stage I or II melanoma undergoing wide excision with or without lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy are randomized 1:1 to either receive preoperative cefazolin or no preoperative antibiotics. Stool samples and peripheral blood are collected before surgery, the day of surgery (optional), on post-operative day 3 (optional), and 2 weeks and 3 months following surgery. The primary endpoint for the study is change in microbiome alpha diversity at 2 weeks following surgery. Secondary endpoints are change in relative abundance of microbes at 2 weeks and 3 months after surgery and SSI rates according to whether or not prophylactic antibiotics were administered at time of surgery. Exclusion criteria include recent antibiotic use (within 3 months), allergy to beta-lactam or cephalosporin antibiotics, increased risk of infection due to medical comorbidity or use of immunosuppressive medication. Enrollment began in October 2021. As of January 2022, 22 of 30 patients have been accrued to ensure complete sample collection for 20 patients. Study findings may inform a larger trial evaluating interventions to mitigate antibiotic impact. Clinical trial information: NCT04875728.

Abstract
The Great Debate session at the 2021 Melanoma Bridge virtual congress (December 2-4) featured counterpoint views from experts on seven important issues in melanoma. The debates considered the use of adoptive cell therapy versus use of bispecific antibodies, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors versus immunotherapy in the adjuvant setting, whether the use of corticosteroids for the management of side effects have an impact on outcomes, the choice of programmed death (PD)-1 combination therapy with cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen (CTLA)-4 or lymphocyte-activation gene (LAG)-3, whether radiation is needed for brain metastases, when lymphadenectomy should be integrated into the treatment plan and then the last debate, telemedicine versus face-to-face. As with previous Bridge congresses, the debates were assigned by meeting Chairs and positions taken by experts during the debates may not have necessarily reflected their respective personal view. Audiences voted both before and after each debate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Opioids are commonly prescribed following surgery and can lead to persistent opioid use. We assessed changes in prescribing practices following an opioid education initiative for patients undergoing lymphadenectomy for cutaneous malignancy. METHODS A single-institution retrospective study of all eligible patients (3/2016-3/2020) was performed. RESULTS Indications for lymphadenectomy in 328 patients were metastatic melanoma (84%), squamous cell carcinoma (10%), and Merkel cell carcinoma (5%). At discharge, non-opioid analgesics were increasingly utilized over the 4-year study period, with dramatic increases after education initiatives (32%, 42%, 59%, and 79% of pts, respectively each year; p < 0.001). Median oral morphine equivalents (OMEs) prescribed also decreased dramatically starting in year 3 (250, 238, 150, and 100 mg, respectively; p < 0.001). Patients discharged with 200 mg OMEs were less likely to also be discharged with non-opioid analgesics (40% vs. 64%. respectively, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Analgesic prescribing practices following lymphadenectomy for cutaneous malignancy improved significantly over a 4-year period, with use of non-opioids more than doubling and a 60% reduction in median OME. Opportunities exist to further increase non-opioid use and decrease opioid dissemination after lymphadenectomy for cutaneous malignancy.

Abstract
Gut bacteria modulate the response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) treatment in cancer, but the effect of diet and supplements on this interaction is not well studied. We assessed fecal microbiota profiles, dietary habits, and commercially available probiotic supplement use in melanoma patients and performed parallel preclinical studies. Higher dietary fiber was associated with significantly improved progression-free survival in 128 patients on ICB, with the most pronounced benefit observed in patients with sufficient dietary fiber intake and no probiotic use. Findings were recapitulated in preclinical models, which demonstrated impaired treatment response to anti–programmed cell death 1 (anti–PD-1)–based therapy in mice receiving a low-fiber diet or probiotics, with a lower frequency of interferon-γ–positive cytotoxic T cells in the tumor microenvironment. Together, these data have clinical implications for patients receiving ICB for cancer.

Abstract
Metastatic melanoma is a deadly malignancy with poor outcomes historically. Immuno-oncology (IO) agents, targeting immune checkpoint molecules such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), have revolutionized melanoma treatment and outcomes, achieving significant response rates and remarkable long-term survival. Despite these vast improvements, roughly half of melanoma patients do not achieve long-term clinical benefit from IO therapies and there is an urgent need to understand and mitigate mechanisms of resistance. MicroRNAs are key post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression that regulate many aspects of cancer biology, including immune evasion. We used network analysis to define two core microRNA-mRNA networks in melanoma tissues and cell lines corresponding to 'MITF-low' and 'Keratin' transcriptomic subsets of melanoma. We then evaluated expression of these core microRNAs in pre-PD-1-inhibitor-treated melanoma patients and observed that higher expression of miR-100-5p and miR-125b-5p were associated with significantly improved overall survival. These findings suggest that miR-100-5p and 125b-5p are potential markers of response to PD-1 inhibitors, and further evaluation of these microRNA-mRNA interactions may yield further insight into melanoma resistance to PD-1 inhibitors.

Abstract
PURPOSE Increasingly, cancer centers are delivering population-based approaches to narrow the gap between known cancer prevention strategies and their effective implementation. Leveraging successful healthy community initiatives, MD Anderson developed Be Well Communities™, a model that implements evidence-based actions to directly impact people's lives. METHODS In partnership with local organizations, MD Anderson's Be Well Communities team executed and evaluated 16 evidence-based interventions to address community priorities in healthy diets, physical activity, and sun safety. Evaluation included assessing the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions, stakeholders' perceptions of collaboration, and the population-level impact on dietary and physical activity behaviors among students using the School Physical Activity and Nutrition Survey and the System for Observing Fitness Instruction Time. Two-tailed t-tests were used to compare tested parameters at baseline and follow-up. p values less than .05 were considered significant. RESULTS This model achieved its early outcomes, including effectively implementing evidence-based interventions, building strong partnerships, increasing access to healthy foods, improving the built environment, and increasing healthy food and water consumption and moderate to vigorous physical activity among students (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Be Well Communities is an effective model for positively impacting community health which could be leveraged by others to deliver evidence-based actions to improve population health.

Abstract
Treatment with combined immune checkpoint blockade (CICB) targeting CTLA-4 and PD-1 is associated with clinical benefit across tumor types, but also a high rate of immune-related adverse events. Insights into biomarkers and mechanisms of response and toxicity to CICB are needed. To address this, we profiled the blood, tumor and gut microbiome of 77 patients with advanced melanoma treated with CICB, with a high rate of any ≥grade 3 immune-related adverse events (49%) with parallel studies in pre-clinical models. Tumor-associated immune and genomic biomarkers of response to CICB were similar to those identified for ICB monotherapy, and toxicity from CICB was associated with a more diverse peripheral T-cell repertoire. Profiling of gut microbiota demonstrated a significantly higher abundance of Bacteroides intestinalis in patients with toxicity, with upregulation of mucosal IL-1β in patient samples of colitis and in pre-clinical models. Together, these data offer potential new therapeutic angles for targeting toxicity to CICB.

Abstract
Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and BRAF targeted therapies improve overall survival (OS) for patients (pts) with MM, but treatment responses are heterogeneous. Recent data strongly implicates host factors in response and resistance to these agents. We and others have shown that overweight/obese BMI [OW/OB: body mass index (BMI≥25)] is associated with improved OS with both ICI and BRAF targeted therapies in MM pts. The biologic basis for this association is unknown. Thus, we examined the molecular and immune correlates of BMI in MM. In melanoma TCGA regionally metastatic specimens with available BMI (n=202), BMI was not associated with DNA mutations or copy number variations, nor with protein expression. To assess for associations with gene expression, we performed a gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) on pooled data for cohorts of MM patients with RNAseq and BMI data (TCGA, n=202; MDACC, n=61; MIA, n=68; UCLA, n=26). Following batch correction, GSEA identified downregulation of OXPHOS and adipogenesis in tumors from OW/OB pts compared to normal (NL) BMI (BMI<25). Mass spectrometry of 36 MM specimens from the TCGA cohort confirmed downregulation of the TCA cycle intermediates citrate (p=0.01) and succinate (p<0.05) in OW/OB MM. Immunohistochemistry for key immune cell populations and checkpoints in the MIA and MDACC cohorts did not identify significant differences by BMI, consistent with the lack of difference in inflammatory pathways by gene expression. Finally, we evaluated associations of BMI with gut microbiome features in MM pts (n=272). OW/OB was associated with lower microbial alpha diversity vs. NL BMI (p=0.02), but no significant differences were observed in the composition of individual species. As increased microbiome diversity has been associated with improved outcomes with ICI in MM, this finding supports that changes in the microbiome are unlikely to explain the improved outcomes seen with ICI in OW/OB pts. In sum, our findings suggest that host energy balance influences tumor metabolism in MM, with downregulation of OXPHOS in MM from OB/OW pts, which may influence outcomes with targeted and immune therapies. These hypothesis generating findings suggest one possible mechanism underlying the obesity paradox observed in MM pts.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: MBMs are a deadly complication of melanoma. We previously showed that OXPHOS is increased in MBMs, but the roles of OXPHOS in MBM formation and growth are unknown.
Methods: To determine if OXPHOS predicts formation of MBMs, RNA-sequencing (RNAseq) was performed on primary melanomas from patients (pts) diagnosed with MBM (P_MBM; n=19) and from pts diagnosed with metastases (mets) solely to non-CNS sites within 3-18 months of initial diagnosis (P_ECM; n=16), as well as pts who did not develop any mets within 5 years (P_NoMet; n=19). To functionally test the role of OXPHOS in brain and lung met formation and maintenance, brain-tropic YUMM5.2-Br3 cells were treated in vitro with the direct OXPHOS inhibitor IACS-010759 (100 nM) or vehicle control for 12 hours, and then injected into the left ventricle (intracardiac; ICa) in C57BL/6 mice. Mice were randomized to in vivo treatment with vehicle or IACS-010759 (7.5 mg/kg daily) for 14 days. Mice were euthanized and ex vivo bioluminescence imaging (BLI) was performed to evaluate the extent of brain and lung mets. We also evaluated A375P and G361 human melanoma cell lines stably transfected with shRNAs targeting the OXPHOS mediator PGC1α (shPGC1α) or scrambled control (shScr). Cells were injected ICa, intracranially (ICr) or subcutaneously (SQ) in CD-1 nude mice. Lung and brain tissues were harvested for histological analysis of mets once mice became moribund. SQ tumors were measured twice weekly to assess tumor growth. Mice with ICr injection were monitored for survival and euthanized once moribund.
Results: Pathway analysis of the primary tumors from pts demonstrated elevated KEGG OXPHOS gene set expression in P_MBM and P_ECM groups compared to P_NoMet (FDR q-val= 0.048 and <0.001, respectively), suggesting a role for OXPHOS in metastasis. However, there was no significant enrichment of OXPHOS genes in P_MBM vs. P_ECM (FDR q-val=0.516), indicating a lack of specific association with MBM risk. Treatment with IACS-010759 (in vitro and/or in vivo) in the YUMM5.2-Br3 model did not impact the incidence of lung or brain mets. However, in vivo treatment with IACS-010759 significantly decreased MBM (but not lung) tumor burden. PGC1α knockdown (shPGC1α) reduced OXPHOS in A375P and G361 compared to shScr, but less than IACS-010759 treatment. shPGC1α did not impact lung or brain met formation or burden following ICa injection of A375P and G361 cells. shPGC1α also did not inhibit tumor incidence with SQ or ICr injection, and there was no significant difference in SQ tumor growth. However, shPGC1α significantly prolonged survival of mice injected ICr with A375P (p=0.0003) and G361 (p=0.0097).
Conclusions: OXPHOS was associated with increased risk of mets in pts, but not specifically MBMs. In mice, OXPHOS inhibition did not prevent MBM formation, but reduced the growth of established MBMs. Thus, OXPHOS is critical to MBM maintenance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether melanoma in histological contiguity with a naevus [naevus-associated melanoma (NAM)] is distinctly different from melanoma arising de novo remains unclear. OBJECTIVES To determine whether the characteristics of de novo melanoma differ from NAM and are not due to naevus obliteration in thicker tumours. METHODS We conducted a multicentre retrospective study of de novo melanoma and NAM in seven referral centres in Europe, Australia and the USA between 2006 and 2015. RESULTS In a total of 9474 localized melanomas, de novo melanoma was associated with thicker tumours and body site differences compared with NAM. In the subset of T1 melanomas (n = 5307), similar body site differences were found in multivariate analysis by body site. When compared with NAM, de novo melanoma was more likely to affect older individuals (≥ 70 years) when located on the head/neck [odds ratio (OR) 4·65, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2·55-8·46], the trunk (OR 1·82, 95% CI 1·40-2·36) or the upper extremity (OR 1·69, 95% CI 1·14-2·50), was more likely to affect female patients when located on the lower extremities (OR 1·36, 95% CI 1·03-1·80), and was more likely to be of the nodular melanoma subtype (OR 2·23, 95% CI 1·14-4·35) when located on the trunk. De novo melanoma was less likely to have regression present compared with NAM. CONCLUSIONS Clinicopathological and body site differences between de novo melanoma and NAM support the divergent pathway model of development. These differences were also found in thin melanomas, suggesting that de novo melanomas are different from NAM and their differences are not due to the obliteration of naevus remnants in thicker tumours.

Abstract
9540 Background: The management and OS of pts with metastatic melanoma have improved due to new systemic therapies. However, relatively little is known about the use of these treatments (tx) and their association with OS in pts with MBMs. We reviewed a large cohort of MBM pts to assess how pt demographics, disease characteristics, and MBM tx impact OS in the current era. Methods: Under an institutional review board-approved protocol, retrospective data were curated and analyzed from pts diagnosed with, and received tx for, MBM from 2014 to 2018 at the MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDA). Pts diagnosed with uveal or mucosal melanoma or other cancers were excluded. Pt demographics; timing and features of initial melanoma dx; timing and features of initial MBM dx; prior, initial and subsequent tx; and OS were collected. OS was determined from MBM dx to last clinical follow-up (FU). Pts alive at last FU were censored. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to estimate OS and to assess univariate group differences, respectively. Multivariable (MV) associations of OS with variables of interest were investigated with Cox proportional hazards models. Initial treatment of MBM was assessed as a time-varying covariate. All statistical tests used a significance level of 5%. Results: A total of 401 MBM pts were identified. The median age at MBM dx was 61; 67% were male and 46% had a BRAF V600 mutation. At MBM diagnosis dx, most (70%) pts were asymptomatic; 70% had concurrent uncontrolled extracranial disease; 36% had elevated serum LDH. Prior tx included immunotherapy (IMT) for 39% and targeted therapy (TTX) for 17%. The median number of MBMs was 2; 31% had > 3 MBMs. Median largest MBM diameter was 1.0 cm, 9% had MBM > 3.0 cm, and 5% had concurrent leptomeningeal disease (LMD). Tx received after MBM dx included stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS; 53% as initial tx for MBM, 67% at any time after MBM dx), whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT; 16%, 35%), craniotomy (12%, 19%), IMT (37%, 74%), and/or TTX (22%, 40%). 31% received steroids during initial MBM tx. At a median FU of 13.4 (0.0 - 82.8) months (mos), the median OS was 15.1 mos, and 1- and 2-year OS rates were 56% and 40%. Notably, gender, time to MBM dx, and BRAF status were not associated with OS (univariate analysis). On MV analysis, clinical features associated with worse OS included increased age, increased primary tumor thickness, elevated LDH, > 3 MBMs, +LMD, +symptoms, and prior tx with IMT. Among tx used at any time after MBM dx, WBRT (HR 1.9, 95% CI 1.5-2.5) was associated with worse OS; SRS (HR 0.7, 95% CI 0.5-0.8) and IMT (HR 0.6, 95% CI 0.5-0.8) were associated with improved OS. Conclusions: In one of the largest cohorts of MBM pts described to date, OS has improved in MBM pts in the current era. Prognostic factors for OS include pt age, primary tumor and MBM features, prior tx, and tx for MBM. Additional analyses to assess the interaction of tx, disease features, and OS will be presented.

Abstract
9580 Background: Surveillance for CNS metastasis (mets) is not routinely performed in pts with clinically localized CM. Improved understanding of the incidence, timing and risk factors for the development of CNS metastasis in these pts may inform surveillance strategies. Methods: Under an IRB-approved protocol, demographics, tumor characteristics, and clinical events were collected for pts diagnosed from 1998 to 2019 with AJCC 8th edition stage I or II CM at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Dates of initial diagnosis, regional, distant non-CNS, and CNS mets were recorded. Symptoms and the extent of disease (brain, LMD, both) were recorded for pts with CNS mets. Cumulative incidence of distant mets (CNS and non-CNS) was determined using the competing risks method, including death; pts without CNS mets and alive at last follow-up were censored. Differences in cumulative incidence between groups were assessed using Gray’s test. Associations between measures of interest and cumulative incidence were determined using proportional subdistribution hazards regression models. All statistical tests used a significance level of 5%. Results: 5,179 Stage I-II CM pts were identified. At a median follow up of 82 (0.0-268.8) months, 703 (13.6%) pts were diagnosed with distant mets, including 355 (6.9%) with CNS mets. Cumulative incidence of CNS mets was 0%, 2%, and 5% at 1, 2, and 5 years, respectively. Among pts with distant mets, the first site of distant mets was CNS only for 29 (4%), non-CNS only for 557 (79%), and both for 116 (17%) pts. At initial diagnosis of CNS mets, 195 (55%) pts were asymptomatic, and 46 (13%) had no active extracranial disease. Median time to any distant met was longer for pts who were diagnosed with CNS mets [40.0 (1.9-238.0) months] vs pts diagnosed with non-CNS mets only [31.4 (1.1-185.7) months, p < 0.001]. On multivariable analysis, risk of CNS mets was significantly associated with primary tumor location of scalp [Hazard Ratio (HR) 3.4, 95% Confidence interval (CI) 1.9-5.9], head/neck (HR 3.3, 95% CI 2.0-5.3), or trunk (HR 2.3, 95% CI 1.5-3.5) (vs upper extremity); acral lentiginous melanoma subtype (HR 2.0, 95% CI 1.2-3.6) (vs superficial spreading); increased T category (T2 HR 1.5, 95% CI 1.1-2.2; T3 HR 1.9, 95% CI 1.2-3.0; T4 HR 2.1, 95% CI 1.1-3.8; vs T1), Clark level (CL) (CL4 HR 2.1, 95% CI 1.2-3.7 vs CL2), and mitotic rate (MR) (MR 5-9/mm2 HR 2.1, 95% CI 1.5-3.0; MR > 9/mm2 HR 2.0, 95% CI 1.3-3.0; vs MR 0-4/mm2). While high ( > 9/mm2) MR was associated with increased risk of CNS and non-CNS mets, intermediate (5-9/mm2) was associated with CNS mets only. Conclusions: Primary tumor location, tumor thickness, and MR were strongly associated with risk of CNS mets. MR rate was more strongly associated with risk of CNS than non-CNS mets. Validation in independent cohorts may provide evidence to support CNS surveillance strategies in select pts with stage I-II CM who are deemed high risk for CNS mets.

Abstract
9502 Background: Neoadjuvant therapy (NT) for pts with clinical stage III melanoma remains an active area of research interest. Recent NT trial data demonstrates that achieving a pathologic complete response (pCR) correlates with improved relapse-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) NT with either high or low dose ipilimumab and nivolumab regimens produces a high pCR rate of 30-45% but with grade 3-4 toxicity rate of 20-90%. In metastatic melanoma (MM), the combination of nivo with rela (anti Lymphocyte Activation Gene-3 antibody) has demonstrated a favorable toxicity profile and responses in both CPI-naïve and refractory MM. We hypothesized that NT with nivo + rela will safely achieve high pCR rates and provide insights into mechanisms of response and resistance to this regimen. Methods: We conducted a multi-institutional, investigator-initiated single arm study (NCT02519322) enrolling pts with clinical stage III or oligometastatic stage IV melanoma with RECIST 1.1 measurable, surgically-resectable disease. Pts were enrolled at 2 sites and received nivo 480mg IV with rela 160mg IV on wks 1 and 5. Radiographic response (RECIST 1.1) was assessed after completion of NT; surgery was conducted at wk 9 and specimens were assessed for pathologic response per established criteria. Pts received up to 10 additional doses of nivo and rela after surgery, with scans every 3 mo to assess for recurrence. The primary study objective was determination of pCR rate. Secondary objectives included safety, radiographic response by RECIST 1.1, event-free survival (EFS), RFS, and OS analyses. Blood and tissue were collected at baseline, at day 15, day 28, and at surgery for correlative analyses. Results: A total of 30 pts (19 males, median age 60) were enrolled with clinical stage IIIB/IIIC/IIID/IV (M1a) in 18/8/2/2 pts, respectively. 29 pts underwent surgery; 1 pt developed distant metastatic disease while on NT. pCR rate was 59% and near pCR ( < 10% viable tumor) was 7% for a major pathologic response (MPR, pCR + near pCR) of 66%. 7% of pts achieved a pPR (10-50% viable tumor) and 27% pNR (≥50% viable tumor). RECIST ORR was 57%. With a median follow up of 16.2 mos, the 1 -year EFS was 90%, RFS was 93%, and OS was 95%. 1-year RFS for MPR was 100% compared to 80% for non-MPR pts (p = 0.016). There were no treatment related gr 3/4 AEs that arose during NT; 26% of pts had a gr 3/4 AE that began during adjuvant treatment. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment with nivo and rela achieved high pCR and MPR rates with a favorable toxicity profile in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings. Pts with MPR had improved outcomes compared to non-MPR pts. Translational studies to discern mechanisms of response and resistance to this combination are underway. Clinical trial information: NCT02519322.

Abstract
Mutations in the BRAF gene at or near the p. V600 locus are informative for therapy selection, but current methods for analyzing FFPE tissue DNA generally have a limit of detection of 5% variant allele frequency (VAF), or are limited to the single variant (V600E). These can result in false negatives for samples with low VAFs due to low tumor content or subclonal heterogeneity, or harbor non-V600 mutations. Here, we show that Sanger sequencing using the NuProbe VarTrace BRAF assay, based on the Blocker Displacement Amplification (BDA) technology, is capable of detecting BRAF V600 mutations down to 0.20% VAF from FFPE lymph node tissue samples. Comparison experiments on adjacent tissue sections using BDA Sanger, immunohistochemistry (IHC), digital droplet PCR (ddPCR), and NGS showed 100% concordance among all 4 methods for samples with BRAF mutations at ≥ 1% VAF, though ddPCR did not distinguish the V600K mutation from the V600E mutation. BDA Sanger, ddPCR, and NGS (with orthogonal confirmation) were also pairwise concordant for lower VAF mutations down to 0.26% VAF, but IHC produced a false negative. Thus, we have shown that Sanger sequencing can be effective for rapid detection and quantitation of multiple low VAF BRAF mutations from FFPE samples. BDA Sanger method also enabled detection and quantitation of less frequent, potentially actionable non-V600 mutations as demonstrated by synthetic samples.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of patients with sentinel lymph node (SLN)-positive melanoma has changed dramatically over the last few years such that completion lymph node dissection (CLND) has become uncommon, and many patients receive adjuvant immunotherapy or targeted therapy. This study seeks to characterize patterns and predictors of early recurrence in this setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients with primary cutaneous melanoma undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) between 3/2016 and 12/2019 were identified. The subset with a positive SLN who did not undergo CLND were examined for further analysis of outcomes and predictors of recurrence. RESULTS Overall, 215 patients with SLN-positive melanoma who did not have CLND were identified. Adjuvant systemic therapy was administered to 102 (47%), with 93% of this subset receiving immunotherapy (n = 95). Median follow-up from SLNB was 20 months (IQR 12-28.5 months), and 57 patients (27%) recurred during this time. The SLN basin was the most common site of recurrence (n = 38, 67% of recurrence), with isolated nodal recurrence being the most common first site of recurrent disease (n = 22, 39% of recurrence). On multivariable analysis, lymphovascular invasion (LVI) of the primary tumor, two or more involved nodes, and > 1 mm nodal deposit were independently associated with higher rates of nodal relapse. CONCLUSIONS Nodal recurrence is a primary driver of early disease relapse for patients with SLN-positive melanoma who do not undergo CLND in the era of effective adjuvant systemic therapy. LVI, ≥ 2 nodes, or > 1 mm nodal disease identifies patients at particularly high risk of nodal relapse.
