Abstract
BACKGROUND The outstanding efficacy of immunotherapy in metastatic dMMR/MSI gastro-intestinal (GI) cancers has led to a rapid increase in the number of patients treated. However, 20-30% of patients experience primary resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIPR) and need better characterization. METHODS This AGEO real-world study retrospectively analyzed the efficacy and safety of ICIs and identified clinical variables associated with ICIPR in patients with metastatic dMMR/MSI GI cancers treated with immunotherapy between 2015 and 2022. RESULTS 399 patients were included, 284 with colorectal cancer (CRC) and 115 with non-CRC, mostly treated by an anti-PD(L)1 (88.0%). PFS at 24 months was 55.8% (95CI [50.8-61.2]) and OS at 48 months was 59.1% (95CI [53.0-65.9]). ORR was 51.0%, and 25.1% of patients were ICIPR. There was no statistical difference in ORR, DCR, PFS, or OS between CRC and non-CRC groups. In multivariable analysis, ICIPR was associated with ECOG-PS ≥ 2 (OR = 3.36), liver metastases (OR = 2.19), peritoneal metastases (OR = 2.00), ≥1 previous line of treatment (OR = 1.83), and age≤50 years old (OR = 1.76). CONCLUSION These five clinical factors associated with primary resistance to ICIs should be considered by physicians to guide treatment choice in GI dMMR/MSI metastatic cancer patients.

Abstract
Membrane transporters are important determinants of drug bioavailability. Their expression and activity affect the intracellular drug concentration in leukemic cells impacting response to therapy. Pharmacogenomics represents genetic markers that reflect allele arrangement of genes encoding drug transporters associated with treatment response. In previous work, we identified SNP rs460089 located in the promotor of SLC22A4 gene encoding imatinib transporter OCTN1 as influential on response of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia treated with imatinib. Patients with rs460089-GC pharmacogenotype had significantly superior response to first-line imatinib treatment compared to patients with rs460089-GG. This study investigated whether pharmacogenotypes of rs460089 are associated with sustainability of treatment-free remission (TFR) in patients from the EUROpean Stop Kinase Inhibitor (EURO-SKI) trial. In the learning sample, 176 patients showed a significantly higher 6-month probability of molecular relapse free survival (MRFS) in patients with GC genotype (73%, 95% CI: 60-82%) compared to patients with GG (51%, 95% CI: 41-61%). Also over time, patients with GC genotype had significantly higher MRFS probabilities compared with patients with GG (HR: 0.474, 95% CI: 0.280-0.802, p = 0.0054). Both results were validated with data on 93 patients from the Polish STOP imatinib study. In multiple regression models, in addition to the investigated genotype, duration of TKI therapy (EURO-SKI trial) and duration of deep molecular response (Polish study) were identified as independent prognostic factors. The SNP rs460089 was found as an independent predictor of TFR.

Abstract
Genetic lesions of IKZF1 are frequent events and well-established markers of adverse risk in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, their function in the pathophysiology and impact on patient outcome in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains elusive. In a multicenter cohort of 1606 newly diagnosed and intensively treated adult AML patients, we found IKZF1 alterations in 45 cases with a mutational hotspot at N159S. AML with mutated IKZF1 was associated with alterations in RUNX1, GATA2, KRAS, KIT, SF3B1, and ETV6, while alterations of NPM1, TET2, FLT3-ITD, and normal karyotypes were less frequent. The clinical phenotype of IKZF1-mutated AML was dominated by anemia and thrombocytopenia. In both univariable and multivariable analyses adjusting for age, de novo and secondary AML, and ELN2022 risk categories, we found mutated IKZF1 to be an independent marker of adverse risk regarding complete remission rate, event-free, relapse-free, and overall survival. The deleterious effects of mutated IKZF1 also prevailed in patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (n = 519) in both univariable and multivariable models. These dismal outcomes are only partially explained by the hotspot mutation N159S. Our findings suggest a role for IKZF1 mutation status in AML risk modeling.

Abstract
Butyrophilin (BTN)-3A and BTN2A1 molecules control the activation of human Vγ9Vδ2 T cells during T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated sensing of phosphoantigens (PAg) derived from microbes and tumors. However, the molecular rules governing PAg sensing remain largely unknown. Here, we establish three mechanistic principles of PAg-mediated γδ T cell activation. First, in humans, following PAg binding to the intracellular BTN3A1-B30.2 domain, Vγ9Vδ2 TCR triggering involves the extracellular V-domain of BTN3A2/BTN3A3. Moreover, the localization of both protein domains on different chains of the BTN3A homo-or heteromers is essential for efficient PAg-mediated activation. Second, the formation of BTN3A homo-or heteromers, which differ in intracellular trafficking and conformation, is controlled by molecular interactions between the juxtamembrane regions of the BTN3A chains. Finally, the ability of PAg not simply to bind BTN3A-B30.2, but to promote its subsequent interaction with the BTN2A1-B30.2 domain, is essential for T-cell activation. Defining these determinants of cooperation and the division of labor in BTN proteins improves our understanding of PAg sensing and elucidates a mode of action that may apply to other BTN family members.

Abstract
Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare, radiosensitive, yet difficult-to-treat sarcoma subtype affecting predominantly male adolescents. Extensive intraperitoneal seeding is common and requires multimodal management. With no standard therapy established, the prognosis remains poor, and new treatment options are needed. We demonstrate the clinical potential of C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4)-directed imaging and endoradiotherapy in DSRCT. Methods: Eight male patients underwent dual-tracer imaging with [18F]FDG and CXCR4-directed [68Ga]pentixafor PET/CT. A visual comparison of both tracers, along with uptake quantification in active DSRCT lesions, was performed. [68Ga]pentixafor uptake was correlated with immunohistochemical CXCR4 expression on tumor cells. Four patients with end-stage progressive disease underwent CXCR4-based endoradiotherapy. We report the safety, response by RECIST 1.1, and survival after endoradiotherapy. Results: Uptake of [68Ga]pentixafor in tumor lesions was demonstrated in all patients with DSRCT, providing diagnostic power comparable to [18F]FDG PET. Corresponding CXCR4 expression was confirmed by immunohistochemistry in all DSRCT biopsies. Finally, 4 patients were treated with CXCR4-directed [90Y]endoradiotherapy, 3 in a myeloablative dose range with subsequent autologous stem cell transplantation. All 3 required transfusions, and febrile neutropenia occurred in 2 patients (resulting in 1 death). Notably, severe nonhematologic adverse events were absent. We observed signs of response in all 3 patients, translating into disease stabilization in 2 patients for 143 and 176 d, respectively. In the third patient, postmortem autopsy confirmed a partial pathologic response. Conclusion: We validated CXCR4 as a diagnostic biomarker and a promising target for endoradiotherapy in DSRCT, demonstrated its feasibility, and provided the first evidence of its clinical efficacy.

Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) with EWSR1/FUS::TFCP2 fusion is an emerging, molecularly defined, rare subtype of RMS. It can affect patients in a wide age range and follows an aggressive clinical course according to the reported cases. Due to its unusual clinical and pathohistological features, with a typical intraosseous presentation and common cytokeratin expression, the diagnosis is challenging, and metastatic undifferentiated/sarcomatoid carcinoma can be an important differential diagnosis. We report here a case of a 55-year-old woman with an RMS with EWSR1::TFCP2 fusion mimicking metastatic lung cancer in view of the clinical and microscopic presentation. However, further molecular workup, including RNA sequencing, led to the proper diagnosis. Although these tumors are rare, knowledge of their unique features is essential for correct diagnosis as a basis for clinical management and optimization of therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoplasms of the vermiform appendix are rare. They comprise a heterogeneous group of entities requiring differentkinds of treatment. METHODS This review is based on publications retrieved by a selective literature search in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochranedatabases. RESULTS 0.5% of all tumors of the gastrointestinal tract arise in the appendix. Their treatment depends on their histopathologicalclassification and tumor stage. The mucosal epithelium gives rise to adenomas, sessile serrated lesions, adenocarcinomas,goblet-cell adenocarcinomas, and mucinous neoplasms. Neuroendocrine neoplasms originate in neuroectodermal tissue. Adenomasof the appendix can usually be definitively treated by appendectomy. Mucinous neoplasms, depending on their tumorstage, may require additional cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC). Adeno -carcinomas and goblet-cell adenocarcinomas can metastasize via the lymphatic vessels and the bloodstream and should thereforebe treated by oncological right hemicolectomy. Approximately 80% of neuroendocrine tumors are less than 1 cm in diameterwhen diagnosed and can therefore be adequately treated by appendectomy; right hemicolectomy is recommended if the patienthas risk factors for metastasis via the lymphatic vessels. Systemic chemotherapy has not been shown to be beneficial forappendiceal neoplasms in prospective, randomized trials; it is recommended for adenocarcinomas and goblet-cell adenocarcinomasof stage III or higher, in analogy to the treatment of colorectal carcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) improve oncological outcomes in patients with microsatellite instability-high (MSI) or mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) advanced solid tumours. Nevertheless, based on limited published data, the outcome of patients with MSI/dMMR pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) seems poorer when compared to other malignancies. This multi-institutional analysis sought to assess the efficacy and tolerability of ICIs in a large real-world cohort of patients with MSI/dMMR PDAC. METHODS We retrospectively collected data from patients with MSI/dMMR advanced PDAC treated with ICIs in 16 centers. Progression-free survival and overall survival were calculated from the start of treatment, and we report objective response and disease control rates according to RECIST V1.1. RESULTS Thirty-one MSI/dMMR advanced PDAC patients were identified. Twenty-five patients received single-agent anti-PD-1 antibodies, three patients received the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab and three patients received immunotherapy in combination with chemotherapy. Among 31 evaluable patients, 15 (48.4%) had an objective response (three complete responses and 12 partial responses), and six (19.4%) had stable disease. With a median follow-up of 18 months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 26.7 months and the median overall survival (OS) was not reached. Disease control rates (DCRs) among patients with only one line of prior therapy (N = 17) was 76.5%. Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events were not observed. CONCLUSION This retrospective analysis suggests that ICIs are effective and well tolerated in patients with MSI/dMMR advanced PDAC. Hence, our work supports the use of PD-1 inhibition in this group of patients with high unmet medical need.

Abstract
This analysis of the RASH trial (NCT01729481) aimed at gaining a better understanding of the "Burden of Therapy" (BOTh®TM) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In the RASH study, 150 patients with newly diagnosed metastatic PDAC were treated with gemcitabine plus erlotinib (gem/erlotinib) for four weeks. Patients who developed a skin rash during this four-week run-in phase continued with the gem/erlotinib treatment, while rash-negative patients were switched to FOLFIRINOX. The study demonstrated a 1-year survival rate of rash-positive patients who received gem/erlotinib as first-line treatment that was comparable to previous reports of patients receiving FOLFIRINOX. To understand whether these comparable survival rates may be accompanied by better tolerability of the gem/erlotinib treatment compared to FOLFIRINOX, the BOTh®TM methodology was used to continuously quantify and depict the burden of therapy generated by treatment emergent events (TEAEs). Sensory neuropathy was significantly more common in the FOLFIRINOX arm, and prevalence as well as severity increased over time. In both arms, the BOTh®TM associated with diarrhea decreased over the course of treatment. The BOTh®TM caused by neutropenia was comparable in both arms but decreased in the FOLFIRINOX arm over time, possibly due to chemotherapy dose reductions. Overall, gem/erlotinib was associated with a slightly higher overall BOTh®TM, but the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.6735). In summary, the BOTh®TM analysis facilitates the evaluation of TEAEs. In patients fit for intense chemotherapeutic regimens, FOLFIRINOX is associated with a lower BOTh®TM than gem/erlotinib.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the role of current imaging-based resectability criteria and the degree of radiological downsizing in locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (LAPC) after multiagent induction chemotherapy (ICT) in multicentre, open-label, randomized phase 2 trial. METHOD LAPC patients were prospectively treated with multiagent ICT followed by surgical exploration within the NEOLAP trial. All patients underwent CT scan at baseline and after ICT to assess resectability status according to national comprehensive cancer network guidelines (NCCN) criteria and response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) at the local study center and retrospectively in a central review. Imaging results were compared in terms of local and central staging, downsizing and pathological resection status. RESULTS 83 patients were evaluable for central review of baseline and restaging imaging results. Downstaging by central review was rarely seen after multiagent ICT (7.7%), whereas tumor downsizing was documented frequently (any downsizing 90.4%, downsizing to partial response (PR) according to RECIST: 26.5%). Patients with any downsizing showed no significant different R0 resection rate (37.3%) as patients that fulfilled the criteria of PR (40.9%). The sensitivity of any downsizing for predicting R0 resection was 97% with a negative predictive value (NPV) of 0.88. ROC-analysis revealed that tumor downsizing was a predictor of R0 resection (AUC 0.647, p = 0.028) with a best cut-off value of 22.5% downsizing yielding a sensitivity of 65% and a specificity of 61%. CONCLUSIONS Imaging-based tumor downsizing and not downstaging can guide the selection of patients with a realistic chance of R0-resection in LAPC after multi-agent ICT.

Abstract
Butyrophilin (BTN)-3A and BTN2A1 molecules control TCR-mediated activation of human Vγ9Vδ2 T-cells triggered by phosphoantigens (PAg) from microbes and tumors, but the molecular rules governing antigen sensing are unknown. Here we establish three mechanistic principles of PAg-action. Firstly, in humans, following PAg binding to the BTN3A1-B30.2 domain, Vγ9Vδ2 TCR triggering involves the V-domain of BTN3A2/BTN3A3. Moreover, PAg/B30.2 interaction, and the critical γδ-T-cell-activating V-domain, localize to different molecules. Secondly, this distinct topology as well as intracellular trafficking and conformation of BTN3A heteromers or ancestral-like BTN3A homomers are controlled by molecular interactions of the BTN3 juxtamembrane region. Finally, the ability of PAg not simply to bind BTN3A-B30.2, but to promote its subsequent interaction with the BTN2A1-B30.2 domain, is essential for T-cell activation. Defining these determinants of cooperation and division of labor in BTN proteins deepens understanding of PAg sensing and elucidates a mode of action potentially applicable to other BTN/BTNL family members.

Abstract
694 Background: Perioperative chemotherapy (CTX) in resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma (rPDAC) is still not considered SoC and data regarding efficacy but also quality of life (QoL) are limited. NEONAX is a prospective, randomized phase II trial in patients with rPDAC with two independent experimental arms examining perioperative (2 pre- and 4 postoperative cycles, arm A) or adjuvant (6 cycles, arm B) of Gem (1000mg/m2) and nab-P (125mg/m2) on days 1,8,15 of a 28-day cycle. The primary endpoint DFS at 18 mo. as well as DFS, OS and safety have already been reported. Here we present the QoL data of the NEONAX trial. Methods: QoL was evaluated by EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-PAN26 and HADS-D questionnaires at baseline, at the beginning of each CTX cycle (neoadj. and adj. in arm A, only adj. in arm B), after neoadj. treatment in arm A as well as prior and post resection and after 6 cycles of CTX. Results: Global health status score (GHS-score) (QLQ-C30) showed no difference between baseline (t1) and the timepoint after 6 cycles of CTX (t2) in the perioperative arm A (66.7/100 at both timepoints). Here patients experienced the lowest GHS-score pre- and postoperatively (50/100 in both cases). Adjuvant arm B showed a deterioration in the GHS-score of 12.5 points from timepoint 1 to 2 (62.5/100 to 50.0/100). Here the lowest GHS-score was observed within 4 weeks post-surgery (41.7/100). Physical function score (QLQ-C30) was decreased by 6.7 points (86.7/100 to 80/100) in perioperative arm A and by 26.7 points (86.7/100 to 60/100) in arm B between both timepoints. Role function (QLQ-C30) was reduced by 16.7 points (83.3/100 to 66.7/100) in arm A and by 33.3 points (83.3/100 to 50/100) in arm B between both timepoints. In the remaining subscales of the used questionnaires the two arms of the trial showed comparable median scores over the whole study period. The number of submitted questionnaires at each timepoint varied but was at large comparable in both arms. Conclusions: QoL was largely preserved in the perioperative as well as the adjuvant arm of the NEONAX trial. GHS-score was lower pre-and postoperatively in arm A. The lowest GHS-score was observed postoperatively in the adjuvant arm B. QoL was restored at the end of the treatment period in the perioperative arm A and remained slightly reduced in arm B suggesting that QoL is not substantially impaired by perioperative treatment in rPDAC.

Abstract
Functional perturbations of the cohesin complex with subsequent changes in chromatin structure and replication are reported in a multitude of cancers including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Mutations of its STAG2 subunit may predict unfavorable risk as recognized by the 2022 European Leukemia Net recommendations, but the underlying evidence is limited by small sample sizes and conflicting observations regarding clinical outcomes, as well as scarce information on other cohesion complex subunits. We retrospectively analyzed data from a multi-center cohort of 1615 intensively treated AML patients and identified distinct co-mutational patters for mutations of STAG2, which were associated with normal karyotypes (NK) and concomitant mutations in IDH2, RUNX1, BCOR, ASXL1, and SRSF2. Mutated RAD21 was associated with NK, mutated EZH2, KRAS, CBL, and NPM1. Patients harboring mutated STAG2 were older and presented with decreased white blood cell, bone marrow and peripheral blood blast counts. Overall, neither mutated STAG2, RAD21, SMC1A nor SMC3 displayed any significant, independent effect on clinical outcomes defined as complete remission, event-free, relapse-free or overall survival. However, we found almost complete mutual exclusivity of genetic alterations of individual cohesin subunits. This mutual exclusivity may be the basis for therapeutic strategies via synthetic lethality in cohesin mutated AML.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has become the standard of care in advanced HCC but is only approved in first- or second-line treatment. We report a patient with HCC refractory to several lines of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, who was treated with Ipilimumab and Nivolumab (Ipi/Nivo) as the fourth line. The tumor responded profoundly to Ipi/Nivo. Established biomarker-predicting responses to immunotherapy, such as a high PD-L1 staining, a high combined-positive score, microsatellite instability or a high tumor mutational burden, were not detected. Potential negative predictive markers for response to immunotherapy such as CTNNB1 and TERT were present. This constellation puts the spotlight on two mutations observed here in the SET domain-containing 2 (SETD2) and low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1b (LRP1B) genes, which may explain the outstanding response. Our case demonstrates that immunotherapy can be efficient in a late-line scenario, resulting in long-term survival. Further studies should prospectively evaluate the value of SETD2 and LRP1B alterations as predictors for the success of immunotherapy in HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on perioperative chemotherapy in resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (rPDAC) are limited. NEONAX examined perioperative or adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel in rPDAC (National Comprehensive Cancer Network criteria). PATIENTS AND METHODS NEONAX is a prospective, randomized phase II trial with two independent experimental arms. One hundred twenty-seven rPDAC patients in 22 German centers were randomized 1 : 1 to perioperative (two pre-operative and four post-operative cycles, arm A) or adjuvant (six cycles, arm B) gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) and nab-paclitaxel (125 mg/m2) on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. RESULTS The primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS) at 18 months in the modified intention-to-treat (ITT) population [R0/R1-resected patients who started neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CTX) (A) or adjuvant CTX (B)]. The pre-defined DFS rate of 55% at 18 months was not reached in both arms [A: 33.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 18.5% to 48.1%), B: 41.4% (95% CI 20.7% to 62.0%)]. Ninety percent of patients in arm A completed neoadjuvant treatment, and 42% of patients in arm B started adjuvant chemotherapy. R0 resection rate was 88% (arm A) and 67% (arm B), respectively. Median overall survival (mOS) (ITT population) as a secondary endpoint was 25.5 months (95% CI 19.7-29.7 months) in arm A and 16.7 months (95% CI 11.6-22.2 months) in the upfront surgery arm. This difference corresponds to a median DFS (mDFS) (ITT) of 11.5 months (95% CI 8.8-14.5 months) in arm A and 5.9 months (95% CI 3.6-11.5 months) in arm B. Treatment was safe and well tolerable in both arms. CONCLUSIONS The primary endpoint, DFS rate of 55% at 18 months (mITT population), was not reached in either arm of the trial and numerically favored the upfront surgery arm B. mOS (ITT population), a secondary endpoint, numerically favored the neoadjuvant arm A [25.5 months (95% CI 19.7-29.7months); arm B 16.7 months (95% CI 11.6-22.2 months)]. There was a difference in chemotherapy exposure with 90% of patients in arm A completing pre-operative chemotherapy and 58% of patients starting adjuvant chemotherapy in arm B. Neoadjuvant/perioperative treatment is a novel option for patients with resectable PDAC. However, the optimal treatment regimen has yet to be defined. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02047513) and the European Clinical Trials Database (EudraCT 2013-005559-34).

Abstract
Background Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients with preoperative carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) serum levels higher than 500 U/ml are classified as biologically borderline resectable (BR-B). To date, the impact of cholestasis on preoperative CA19-9 serum levels in these patients has remained unquantified. Methods Data on 3079 oncologic pancreatic resections due to PDAC that were prospectively acquired by the German Study, Documentation and Quality (StuDoQ) registry were analyzed in relation to preoperative CA19-9 and bilirubin serum values. Preoperative CA19-9 values were adjusted according to the results of a multivariable linear regression analysis of pathologic parameters, bilirubin, and CA19-9 values. Results Of 1703 PDAC patients with tumor located in the pancreatic head, 420 (24.5 %) presented with a preoperative CA19-9 level higher than 500 U/ml. Although receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis failed to determine exact CA19-9 cut-off values for prognostic indicators (R and N status), the T, N, and G status; the UICC stage; and the number of simultaneous vein resections increased with the level of preoperative CA19-9, independently of concurrent cholestasis. After adjustment of preoperative CA19-9 values, 18.5 % of patients initially staged as BR-B showed CA19-9 values below 500 U/ml. However, the postoperative pathologic results for these patients did not change compared with the patients who had CA19-9 levels higher than 500 U/ml after bilirubin adjustment. Conclusions In this multicenter dataset of PDAC patients, elevation of preoperative CA19-9 correlated with well-defined prognostic pathologic parameters. Bilirubin adjustment of CA19-9 is feasible but does not affect the prognostic value of CA19-9 in jaundiced patients. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1245/s10434-022-12460-w.

Abstract
Background The prognostic and predictive value of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) in locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) has not yet been defined from prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Patients and methods A total of 165 LAPC patients were treated within the NEOLAP RCT for 16 weeks with multiagent induction chemotherapy [ICT; either nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine alone or nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine followed by FOLFIRINOX (combination of fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin)] followed by surgical exploration of all patients without evidence of disease progression. CA 19-9 was determined at baseline and after ICT and correlated with overall survival (OS) and secondary R0 resection rate. Results From the NEOLAP study population (N = 165) 133 patients (81%) were evaluable for CA 19-9 at baseline and 81/88 patients (92%) for post-ICT CA 19-9 response. Median OS (mOS) in the CA 19-9 cohort (n = 133) was 16.2 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 13.0-19.4] and R0 resection (n = 31; 23%) was associated with a significant survival benefit [40.8 months (95% CI 21.7-59.8)], while R1 resected patients (n = 14; 11%) had no survival benefit [14.0 (95% CI 11.7-16.3) months, hazard ratio (HR) 0.27; P = 0.001]. After ICT most patients showed a CA 19-9 response (median change from baseline: –82%; relative decrease ≥55%: 83%; absolute decrease to ≤50 U/ml: 43%). Robust CA 19-9 response (decrease to ≤50U/ml) was significantly associated with mOS [27.8 (95% CI 18.4-37.2) versus 16.5 (95% CI 11.7-21.2) months, HR 0.49; P = 0.013], whereas CA 19-9 baseline levels were not prognostic for OS. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that a robust CA 19-9 response was an independent predictive factor for R0 resection. Using a CA 19-9 decrease to ≤61 U/ml as optimal cut-off (by receiver operating characteristic analysis) yielded 72% sensitivity and 62% specificity for successful R0 resection, whereas CA 19-9 nonresponders (<20% decrease or increase) had no chance for successful R0 resection. Conclusions CA 19-9 response after multiagent ICT provides relevant prognostic and predictive information and is useful in selecting LAPC patients for explorative surgery. Clinical Trial number ClinicalTrials.govNCT02125136; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02125136; EudraCT 2013-004796-12; https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu/ctr-search/trial/2013-004796-12/results NEOLAP is the first prospective surgically explored LAPC cohort, evaluable for prognostic and predictive value of CA 19-9. After multiagent ICT, R0 but not R1 resection is associated with a significant survival benefit. Robust CA 19-9 response, but not CA 19-9 baseline level, correlates with significant OS benefit. Robust CA 19-9 response predicts R0 resection and can guide patient selection for explorative surgery.

Abstract
4133 Background: Perioperative chemotherapy (CTX) in resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is still not considered standard of care and data are limited. The NEONAX trial examined gemcitabine (Gem) plus nab-paclitaxel (nab-P), in the perioperative or adjuvant therapy of resectable PDAC (NCCN criteria). Methods: NEONAX is a prospective, randomized phase II trial with two independent experimental arms. 127 resectable PDAC patients in 22 German centers were randomized 1:1 to perioperative (2 pre- and 4 postoperative cycles, arm A) or adjuvant (6 cycles, arm B) of Gem (1000mg/m2) and nab-P (125mg/m2) on days 1,8,15 of a 28-day cycle. Results: We previously reported the primary endpoint disease free survival (DFS) at 18 mo. in the modified intention-to-treat (ITT)-population (defined as R0/R1 resected pts. that either started neoadjuvant (A) or adjuvant (B) CTX. The pre-defined DFS rate of 55% at 18 mo. was not reached in both arms (A: 32.2%, B: 41.4%). Here we present the final results of the secondary endpoints median overall survival (mOS), pN0-resection rate, perioperative morbidity/mortality and safety in the ITT-population. Most common grade ≥3 treatment emergent adverse events in the safety population were neutropenia (arm A 21.1%, arm B 12.3%), fatigue (arm A 8.8%, arm B 5.3%) and anemia (arm A 10.5%, arm B 1.8%). The most frequent post-/perioperative complications of all grades in pts. undergoing resection were infections (arm A: 24.4%, arm B: 8.8%), pancreatic fistulas (arm A: 14.6%; arm B: 13.3%) and bleedings (arm A: 9.7%; arm B: 6.7%). Perioperative mortality was 2.4% in the neoadjuvant and 6.7% in the upfront surgery setting. The median number of resected lymph nodes was comparable in both arms (A: n = 21, B: n = 26). The pN0-resection rate was 33.3% in the neoadjuvant/perioperative arm A and 29.5% in the upfront surgery arm B. R0 resection rates were 87.8% in arm A and 67.4% in arm B, respectively. Median OS as a key secondary endpoint in the ITT population was 25.2 mo. in arm A and 16.7 mo. for upfront surgery, a difference of 8.5 mo. This difference corresponds to a mDFS of 11.5 mo. in arm A and 5.9 mo. in arm B. 91.5% of pts. in arm A started and 84.7% completed neoadjuvant CTX but only 42.4% of pts. in arm B started adjuvant CTX. Conclusions: Perioperative treatment with Gem/nab-P was well tolerated and showed an encouraging mOS of 25.2 mo., this is well in the range of the data in SWOG 1505 (23.6 mo.) or PREOPANC (15.7 mo.). The corresponding mOS in the upfront surgery arm was 16.7 mo. The 8.5 mo. difference may be explained by the fact that many pts. in arm B did not receive adjuvant treatment whereas the vast majority of pts. in arm A completed at least preoperative CTX. Neoadjuvant/perioperative treatment is a promising novel option for pts. with resectable PDAC. The optimal treatment regimen is subject of current clinical trials. Clinical trial information: NCT02047513.

Abstract
Background Extramedullary manifestations (EM) are rare in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and their impact on clinical outcomes is controversially discussed. Methods We retrospectively analyzed a large multi-center cohort of 1583 newly diagnosed AML patients, of whom 225 (14.21%) had EM. Results AML patients with EM presented with significantly higher counts of white blood cells (p < 0.0001), peripheral blood blasts (p < 0.0001), bone marrow blasts (p = 0.019), and LDH (p < 0.0001). Regarding molecular genetics, EM AML was associated with mutations of NPM1 (OR: 1.66, p < 0.001), FLT3-ITD (OR: 1.72, p < 0.001) and PTPN11 (OR: 2.46, p < 0.001). With regard to clinical outcomes, EM AML patients were less likely to achieve complete remissions (OR: 0.62, p = 0.004), and had a higher early death rate (OR: 2.23, p = 0.003). Multivariable analysis revealed EM as an independent risk factor for reduced overall survival (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.43, p < 0.001), however, for patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) survival did not differ. For patients bearing EM AML, multivariable analysis unveiled mutated TP53 and IKZF1 as independent risk factors for reduced event-free (HR: 4.45, p < 0.001, and HR: 2.05, p = 0.044, respectively) and overall survival (HR: 2.48, p = 0.026, and HR: 2.63, p = 0.008, respectively). Conclusion Our analysis represents one of the largest cohorts of EM AML and establishes key molecular markers linked to EM, providing new evidence that EM is associated with adverse risk in AML and may warrant allogeneic HCT in eligible patients with EM.

Abstract
Background Pulmonary metastasis (M1-PUL) as first site of dissemination in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a rare event and may define a distinct biological subgroup. Patients and methods Arbeitsgemeinschaft Internistische Onkologie-Young Medical Oncologists-Pankreas-0515 study (AIO-YMO-PAK-0515) was a retrospective German multicenter study investigating clinical and molecular characteristics of M1-PUL PDAC patients; 115 M1-PUL PDAC patients from 7 participating centers were included. Clinical characteristics and potential prognostic factors were defined within the M1-PUL cohort. Archival tumor samples were analyzed for Her2/neu, HNF1A and KRT81 expression. Additionally, messenger RNA (mRNA) expression analysis (using a 770-gene immune profiling panel) was carried out in the M1-PUL and in a control cohort (M1-ANY). Results Median overall survival in the entire M1-PUL cohort was 20 months; the most favorable prognosis (median survival: 28 months) was observed in the subgroup of 66 PDAC patients with metachronous lung metastases after previous curative-intent surgery. The number of metastatic lesions, uni- or bilateral lung involvement as well as metastasectomy were identified as potential prognostic factors. Her2/neu expression and PDAC subtyping (by HNF1A and KRT81) did not differ between the M1-PUL and the M1-ANY cohort. mRNA expression analysis revealed significant differentially expressed genes between both cohorts: CD63 and LAMP1 were among the top 20 differentially expressed genes and were identified as potential mediators of organotropism and favorable survival outcome of M1-PUL patients. Conclusion M1-PUL represents a clinically favorable cohort in PDAC patients. Site of relapse might already be predetermined at the time of surgery and could potentially be predicted by gene expression profiling. The retrospective multicenter AIO-YMO-PAK-0515 study defines M1-PUL as a clinically favorable subgroup in PDAC. The number of metastatic lesions, bilateral lung involvement and surgical metastasectomy may serve as prognostic factors. Immune-related gene expression differs between patients with isolated pulmonary relapse versus other sites of relapse.

Abstract
The tyrosine-protein phosphatase nonreceptor type 11 (PTPN11) is an important regulator of RAS signaling and frequently affected by mutations in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Despite the relevance for leukemogenesis and as a potential therapeutic target, the prognostic role is controversial. To investigate the prognostic impact of PTPN11 mutations, we analyzed 1529 adult AML patients using next-generation sequencing. PTPN11 mutations were detected in 106 of 1529 (6.93%) patients (median VAF: 24%) in dominant (36%) and subclonal (64%) configuration. Patients with PTPN11 mutations were associated with concomitant mutations in NPM1 (63%), DNMT3A (37%), and NRAS (21%) and had a higher rate of European LeukemiaNet (ELN) favorable cytogenetics (57.8% vs 39.1%; P < .001) and higher white blood cell counts (P = .007) compared with PTPN11 wild-type patients. In a multivariable analysis, PTPN11 mutations were independently associated with poor overall survival (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.75; P < .001), relapse-free survival (HR: 1.52; P = .013), and a lower rate of complete remission (odds ratio: 0.46; P = .008). Importantly, the deleterious effect of PTPN11 mutations was confined predominantly to the ELN favorable-risk group and patients with subclonal PTPN11 mutations (HR: 2.28; P < .001) but not found with dominant PTPN11 mutations (HR: 1.07; P = .775), presumably because of significant differences within the rate and spectrum of associated comutations. In conclusion, our data suggest an overall poor prognostic impact of PTPN11 mutations in AML, which is significantly modified by the underlying cytogenetics and the clonal context in which they occur.

Abstract
Perioperative chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin and docetaxel (FLOT) is a mainstay in the treatment of esophagogastric adenocarcinomas (EGA). Trastuzumab improved survival when added to chemotherapy in patients with HER-2-positive metastatic EGA. We investigated the combination of trastuzumab and FLOT as perioperative treatment in patients with locally advanced EGA. A multicenter phase II study evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of perioperative FLOT (24-hours 5-FU 2600 mg/m2 , leucovorin 200 mg/m2 , oxaliplatin 85 mg/mg2 , docetaxel 50 mg/m2 , trastuzumab 6 mg/kg then 4 mg/kg d1, repeated d15 for four cycles preoperatively and postoperatively followed by 9 cycles of trastuzumab monotherapy) in patients with HER-2 positive EGA. Patients had ≥cT2, any N, M0 EGA. The primary endpoint was the rate of centrally assessed pathological complete response (pCR). Secondary endpoints comprised disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS), R0 resection rate, toxicity and surgical morbidity. Fifty-six evaluable patients (median age 62 years) were included; n = 40 had tumors originating from the esophagogastric junction; T stage was (cT2/3/4/unknown): 4/42/8/2; n = 50 patients had cN+ disease. Main adverse events grades 3-4: leukopenia (17.9%), neutropenia (46.6%) and diarrhea (17.0%). All patients underwent tumor resections. R0 resection rate was 92.9%. Eight patients had anastomotic leakage. One postoperative death occurred. pCR was found in 12 patients (21.4%) and a further n = 14 patients (25.0%) had near complete response. Median DFS was 42.5 months and the 3-year OS rate was 82.1%. The primary endpoint of achieving a pCR >20% was reached. No unexpected safety issues were observed. Survival data are promising.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to characterize a large series of 154 patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (median age, 53 years; range, 18-90 years) and evaluate real-life outcome after up-front treatment with arsenic trioxide and all-trans retinoic acid. All patients were included in the prospective NAPOLEON registry (NCT02192619) between 2013 and 2019. The acute promyelocytic leukemia was de novo in 91% (n=140) and therapy-related in 9% (n=14); 13% (n=20) of the patients were older than 70 years. At diagnosis bleeding/hemorrhage was present in 38% and thrombosis in 3%. Complete remission was achieved in 152 patients (99%), whereas two patients (1%) experienced induction death within 18 days after starting therapy. With a median follow-up of 1.99 years (95% confidence interval: 1.61-2.30 years) 1-year and 2-year overall survival rates were 97% (95% confidence interval: 94-100%) and 95% (95% confidence interval: 91-99%), respectively. Age above 70 years was associated with a significantly shorter overall survival (P<0.001) compared to that of younger patients. So far no relapses have been observed. Six patients (4%) died in complete remission at a median of 0.95 years after diagnosis (range, 0.18-2.38 years). Our data confirm the efficiency and durability of arsenic trioxide and all-trans retinoic acid therapy in the primary management of adults with low-/intermediate-risk acute promyelocytic leukemia in the real-life setting, irrespective of age.

Abstract
Background A prognostic benefit of additive chemotherapy in patients following resection of metachronous colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) remains controversial. Therefore, the goal of this retrospective study was to investigate the impact of perioperative chemotherapy on disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients after curative resection of metachronous CRLM. Methods In a retrospective single-centre study, patients after curative resection of metachronous CRLM were included and analysed for DFS and OS with regard to the administration of additive chemotherapy. The Kaplan-Meier method was applied to compare DFS and OS while Cox regression models were used to identify independent prognostic variables. Results Thirty-four of 75 patients were treated with additive 5-FU based chemotherapy. OS was significantly prolonged in this patient subgroup (62 vs 57 months; p = 0.032). Additive chemotherapy significantly improved 10-year survival rates (42% vs 0%, p = 0.023), but not 5-year survival (58% vs 42%, p = 0.24). Multivariate analysis identified additive chemotherapy (p = 0.016, HR 0.44, 95% CI 0.23–0.86), more than five CRLM (p = 0.026, HR 2.46, 95% CI 1.16–10.32) and disease recurrence (0.009, HR 2.70, 95% CI 1.29–5.65) as independent risk factors for OS. Conclusion Additive chemotherapy significantly prolonged OS and 10-year survival in patients after curative resection of metachronous CRLM. Randomized clinical trials are needed in the future to identify optimal chemotherapy regimens for those patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Reasonable to the improved prognosis of breast cancer (BC) long-term toxicities and side effects of oncological therapy gain more importance for work ability and social life of BC patients. Aim of this study was the analysis of occurence and differences of treatment-related side effects in relation to type of rehabilitation (so-called AHB vs. later rehabilitation) after therapy for BC. METHODS Clinical and patient related data as early and late toxicities after oncological treatment of 8.000 patients with BC (55.7±10.4y) were analyzed and compared with current literature. RESULTS In 23.9% a mastectomy was performed, in 87.3% radiotherapy. In most cases an additional systemic treatment (57,6% CTX, 15,1% anti-Her2, 71% antihormonal treatment) was carried out. In 8.1% women suffered from recurrent or metastatic BC. As most common side effects of multimodal treatment weakness/fatigue (73,6%), insomnia (51,9%), CIPN (33%), lymph edema (13,9%) and drug-induced arthralgia (24,8%) were detected. In addition, 60.4% of women reported high levels of psychological distress. Shortly after therapy typical side effects were drug-induced toxicities (Leucopenia, p<0.0001; anemia, p<0.001; weakness/fatigue p<0.001; CIPN, p<0.0001), whereas in a later course chronic lymphedema (p<0.0001), chronic or recurrent disease (p<0.0001), status after mastectomy (p<0.0001) and psychological distress (p<0.0001) were significantly more often seen. Moreover, in this collective patients were significantly younger (53,7±9,8 vs. 56,3±10,7y). CONCLUSIONS In BC patients, significantly different impairments and toxicities were documented between patients with early rehabilitation and patients with later onset of rehabilitation. These data may help to establish more individual and focused rehabilitation concepts in specialized centers.

Abstract
We performed a registry-based analysis of 311 AML patients treated with decitabine in a standard of care setting to assess response and survival data with a distinct focus on the impact of the TP53 mutation status. Median age was 73 years. 172 patients received decitabine first-line and 139 in r/r disease. The ORR (whole cohort) was 30% with a median overall survival of 4.7 months. First-line patients achieved better responses than r/r-patients (ORR: 38% vs. 21%) resulting in a median OS of 5.8 months vs. 3.9 months. NGS based mutation analysis was performed in 180 patients. 20 patients (11%) harbored a TP53 mutation. Response rates and survival did not differ significantly between TP53 mutated patients and wild-type patients. This analysis of a large cohort of AML patients provides response rates and OS data after decitabine treatment. Interestingly, outcome was not negatively influenced by a TP53 mutation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal preoperative treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer is unknown. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine with nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine followed by fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) as multidrug induction chemotherapy regimens in locally advanced pancreatic cancer. METHODS In this open-label, multicentre, randomised phase 2 study, done at 28 centres in Germany, eligible patients were adults (aged 18-75 years) with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 and histologically or cytologically confirmed, treatment-naive locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, as determined by local multidisciplinary team review. After two cycles of nab-paclitaxel 125 mg/m2 plus gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 (administered intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle), patients without progressive disease or unacceptable adverse events were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either two additional cycles of nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine (nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine group) or four cycles of sequential FOLFIRINOX (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, leucovorin 400 mg/m2, irinotecan 180 mg/m2, fluorouracil 400 mg/m2 by intravenous bolus followed by a continuous intravenous infusion of 2400 mg/m2 for 46 h on day 1 of each 14-day cycle; sequential FOLFIRINOX group). Randomisation was done by the clinical research organisation on request of the trial centre using a permuted block design (block size 2 and 4). Patients, investigators, and study team members were not masked to treatment allocation. The primary endpoint was surgical conversion rate (complete macroscopic tumour resection) in the randomised population by intention-to-treat analysis, which was assessed by surgical exploration in all patients with at least stable disease after completion of induction chemotherapy. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02125136. FINDINGS Between Nov 18, 2014, and April 27, 2018, 168 patients were registered and 130 were randomly assigned to either the nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine group (64 patients) or the sequential FOLFIRINOX group (66 patients). Surgical exploration after completed induction chemotherapy was done in 40 (63%) of 64 patients in the nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine group and 42 (64%) of 66 patients in the sequential FOLFIRINOX group. 23 patients in the nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine group and 29 in the sequential FOLFIRINOX group had complete macroscopic tumour resection, yielding a surgical conversion rate of 35·9% (95% CI 24·3-48·9) in the nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine group and 43·9% (31·7-56·7) in the sequential FOLFIRINOX group (odds ratio 0·72 [95% CI 0·35-1·45]; p=0·38). At a median follow-up of 24·9 months (95% CI 21·8-27·6), median overall survival was 18·5 months (95% CI 14·4-21·5) in the nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine group and 20·7 months (13·9-28·7) in the sequential FOLFIRINOX group (hazard ratio 0·86 [95% CI 0·55-1·36]; p=0·53). All other secondary efficacy endpoints, such as investigator-assessed progression-free survival, radiographic response rate, CA 19-9 response rate, and R0 resection rate, were not significantly different between the two treatment groups except for improved histopathological downstaging in evaluable resection specimens from the sequential FOLFIRINOX group (ypT1/2 stage: 20 [69%] of 29 patients in the sequential FOLFIRINOX group vs four [17%] of 23 patients in the nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine group, p=0·0003; ypN0 stage: 15 [52%] of 29 patients in the sequential FOLFIRINOX group vs four [17%] of 23 patients in the nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine group, p=0·02). Grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent adverse events during induction chemotherapy occurred in 35 (55%) of 64 patients in nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine group and in 35 (53%) of 66 patients in the sequential FOLFIRINOX group. The most common of which were neutropenia (18 [28%] in nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine group, 16 [24%] in the sequential FOLFIRINOX group), nausea and vomiting (two [3%] in nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine group, eight [12%] in the sequential FOLFIRINOX group), and bile duct obstruction with cholangitis (six [9%] in nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine group, seven [11%] in the sequential FOLFIRINOX group). No deaths were caused by treatment-related adverse events during the induction chemotherapy phase. INTERPRETATION Our findings suggest that nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine is similarly active and safe as nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine followed by FOLFIRINOX as multidrug induction chemotherapy regimens for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Although conversion to resectability was achieved in about a third of patients, additional evidence is required to determine whether this translates into improved overall survival. FUNDING Celgene.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 5-Fluorouracil (FU) is one of the most commonly used cytostatic drugs in the systemic treatment of cancer. Treatment with FU may cause severe or life-threatening side effects and the treatment-related mortality rate is 0.2-1.0%. SUMMARY Among other risk factors associated with increased toxicity, a genetic deficiency in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), an enzyme responsible for the metabolism of FU, is well known. This is due to variants in the DPD gene (DPYD). Up to 9% of European patients carry a DPD gene variant that decreases enzyme activity, and DPD is completely lacking in approximately 0.5% of patients. Here we describe the clinical and genetic background and summarize recommendations for the genetic testing and tailoring of treatment with 5-FU derivatives. The statement was developed as a consensus statement organized by the German Society for Hematology and Medical Oncology in cooperation with 13 medical associations from Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Key Messages: (i) Patients should be tested for the 4 most common genetic DPYD variants before treatment with drugs containing FU. (ii) Testing forms the basis for a differentiated, risk-adapted algorithm with recommendations for treatment with FU-containing drugs. (iii) Testing may optionally be supplemented by therapeutic drug monitoring.

Abstract
Few data exist on health-related quality of life (QoL) in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC) receiving first-line chemotherapy (Awad L ZE, Mesbah M Boston, MA. Applying survival data methodology to analyze quality of life data, in Mesbah M, Cole BF, Ting Lee M-L (eds): Statistical Methods for Quality of Life Studies: Design, Measurements and Analysis. Kluwer Academic Publishers 2002). The QOLIXANE study is a prospective, noninterventional, multicenter substudy of the Platform for Outcome, Quality of Life and Translational Research on Pancreatic Cancer (PARAGON) registry, which evaluated QoL in patients with mPC receiving first-line gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy in real-life setting. QoL was prospectively measured via EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires at baseline and every month thereafter. Therapy and efficacy parameters were prospectively collected. Main objectives were the rate of patients without deterioration of Global Health Status/QoL (GHS/QoL) at 3 and 6 months. Six hundred patients were enrolled in 95 German study sites. Median progression-free survival was 5.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.2-6.3). Median overall survival (OS) was 8.9 months (95% CI, 7.9-10.2), while median time to deterioration of GHS/QoL was 4.7 months (95% CI, 4.0-5.6). With a baseline GHS/QoL score of 46 (SD, 22.8), baseline QoL of the patients was severely impaired, in most cases due to loss in role functioning and fatigue. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, 61% and 41% of patients had maintained GHS/QoL after 3 and 6 months, respectively. However, in the QoL response analysis, 35% and 19% of patients had maintained (improved or stable) GHS/QoL after 3 and 6 months, respectively, while 14% and 9% had deteriorated GHS/QoL with the remaining patients being nonevaluable. In the Cox regression analysis, GHS/QoL scores strongly predicted survival with a hazard ratio of 0.86 (P < .0001). Patients with mPC have poor QoL at baseline that deteriorates within a median of 4.7 months. Treatment with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel is associated with maintained QoL in relevant proportions of patients. However, overall, results remain poor, reflecting the aggressive nature of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of simultaneous venous resection during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that was preoperatively staged resectable according to NCCN guidelines. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 153 patients who underwent PD for PDAC was performed. Patients were divided into standard PD and PD with simultaneous vein resection (PDVR). Groups were compared to each other in terms of postoperative morbidity and mortality, disease free (DFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS 114 patients received PD while 39 patients received PDVR. No differences in terms of postoperative morbidity and mortality between both groups were detected. Patients in the VR group presented with a significantly shorter OS in the median (13 vs. 21 months, P = 0.011). In subgroup analysis, resection status did not influence OS in the PDVR group (R0 13 vs. R1 12 months, P = 0.471) but in the PD group (R0 23 vs. R1 14 months, P = 0.043). PDVR was a risk factor of OS in univariate but not multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION PDVR for PDAC preoperatively staged resectable resulted in significantly shorter OS regardless of resection status. Patients who require PDVR should be considered for adjuvant chemotherapy in addition to other oncological indications.

Abstract
Background International consensus criteria (ICC) have redefined borderline resectability for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) according to three dimensions: anatomical (BR-A), biological (BR-B), and conditional (BR-C). The present definition acknowledges that resectability is not just about the anatomic relationship between the tumour and vessels but that biological and conditional dimensions also are important. Methods Patients’ tumours were retrospectively defined borderline resectable according to ICC. The study cohort was grouped into either BR-A or BR-B and compared with patients considered primarily resectable (R). Differences in postoperative complications, pathological reports, overall (OS), and disease-free survival were assessed. Results A total of 345 patients underwent resection for PDAC. By applying ICC in routine preoperative assessment, 30 patients were classified as stage BR-A and 62 patients as stage BR-B. In total, 253 patients were considered R. The cohort did not contain BR-C patients. No differences in postoperative complications were detected. Median OS was significantly shorter in BR-A (15 months) and BR-B (12 months) compared with R (20 months) patients (BR-A vs. R: p = 0.09 and BR-B vs. R: p < 0.001). CA19-9, as the determining factor of BR-B patients, turned out to be an independent prognostic risk factor for OS. Conclusions Preoperative staging defining surgical resectability in PDAC according to ICC is crucial for patient survival. Patients with PDAC BR-B should be considered for multimodal neoadjuvant therapy even if considered anatomically resectable.

Abstract
4625 Background: Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (NPG) is standard first-line therapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC), but the pivotal study did not include quality of life (QoL) analyses. Methods: The QOLIXANE-PARAGON study started as a prospective, non-interventional, multicenter study conducted in Germany and transitioned into a permanent registry for pancreatic cancer patients (pts) considering all types of treatments. This report focuses on the pts enrolled into the QOLIXANE portion of the study. Pts were recruited from 95 German centers. QoL was prospectively measured via EORTC-C30 questionnaires (prior to and every month thereafter): therapy and efficacy parameters were prospectively collected. QoL and efficacy endpoints were analyzed in the intention-to-treat population (ITT). The primary endpoint was the rate of pts without deterioration of QoL/Global Health Score (QoL/GHS) at 3 months. Results: 600 pts were enrolled. Mean GHS/QoL score at baseline was low and was 46.2 (SD 22.8). Median progression-free survival was 5.85 months (95% CI, 5.23 to 6.25). Median overall survival (OS) was 8.91 months (95% CI, 7.89 to 10.19). The KM-analysis showed that 61% and 41% of pts had maintained QoL/GHS after 3 and 6 months, respectively. Median time to deterioration of QoL/GHS was 4.68 months (95% CI, 4.04 to 5.59). Mean QoL/GHS improved from 46.1 (SD 22.7) at baseline to 52.8 (SD 21.3) after 6 months. In the QoL response analysis, 34.6%, 37.4% and 28% of evaluable pts had improved, stable and worse QoL/GHS after 3 months, respectively. In the Cox regression analysis, GHS/QoL scores strongly predicted survival with a HR of 0.86 (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: QoliXane the largest study on QoL of mPC. It shows that time to deterioration of QoL is short but that a relevant group of mPC in first line have improved or maintained QoL after 3 and 6 months and that QoL is a predictor of pts outcome.

Abstract
4024 Background: EGFR based combinations and the triplet combination FOLFOXIRI are known to increase response rates compared to doublet combinations. Methods: Patients with colorectal cancer and non-resectable liver metastases were enrolled into the trial. RAS wild type patients were randomised to cetuximab/FOLFIRI or cetuximab/FOLFOXIRI, RAS/BRAF mutant patients were randomised to FOLFOXIRI with or without bevacizumab. The primary endpoint was response. Secondary endpoints included progression free and overall survival. The trial was closed early due to poor recruitment. Results: Between 2014 and 2018, ninety-two pts were enrolled into the study. 54 wild type pts were randomised into cetuximab based treatment with (28 pts) or without (26 pts) oxaliplatin, 38 RAS/BRAF mutant pts were randomised to receive FOLFOXIRI alone (18 pts) or plus bevacizumab (16 pts). Objective response was achieved in 21/26 pts (81 % [95 CI: 61 – 93 %]) with cet/FOLFIRI, 24/28 pts (86 % [95 CI: 67 – 96 %]) with cet / FOLFOXIRI, 13/1 8 pts (72 % [95 CI: 46 – 90 %]) with FOLFOXIRI and 14/20 pts (70 % [95 CI: 46 – 88 %]) with bev/FOLFOXIRI. Two pts with cet/FOLFOXIRI and one pat with FOLFOXIRI achieved CR according to imaging. The median PFS was 12.7 [95 % CI: 7.2 – 18.2], 15.0 [95 % CI: 11.3 – 18.7], 17.5 [95 % CI: 8.0 – 27.1] and 15.0 [95 % CI: 11.4 – 18.5] months with cet/FOLFIRI, cet/FOLFOXIRI, FOLFOXIRI and bev/FOLFOXIRI. The median overall survival was 42 mo. [95 % CI: 28 – 55], 55 [95 % CI:41 – 68], 28 [95 % CI: 22 – 36] and 44 [95 % CI: 0 – 94] months with cet/FOLFIRI, cet/FOLFOXIRI, FOLFOXIRI and bev/FOLFOXIRI. The frequency of grade ≥ 3 toxicity per arm (cet/FOLFIRI, cet/FOLFOXIRI, FOLFOXIRI and bev/FOLFOXIRI) was 29 %, 46 %, 56 %. 45 % for neutropenia/leukopenia, 11 %, 12 %, 28 %, 25 % for diarrhea and 29 %, 19 %, 6 % and 5 % for skin toxicities. Conclusions: High response rates were observed in patients with colorectal liver metastases with all regimens. The numerically highest response rate was observed in RAS wild type patients treated with cetuximab/FOLFOXIRI. Clinical trial information: NCT01802645 .

Abstract
Vγ9Vδ2 T cells respond in a TCR-dependent fashion to both microbial and host-derived pyrophosphate compounds (phosphoantigens, or P-Ag). Butyrophilin-3A1 (BTN3A1), a protein structurally related to the B7 family of costimulatory molecules, is necessary but insufficient for this process. We performed radiation hybrid screens to uncover direct TCR ligands and cofactors that potentiate BTN3A1's P-Ag sensing function. These experiments identified butyrophilin-2A1 (BTN2A1) as essential to Vγ9Vδ2 T cell recognition. BTN2A1 synergised with BTN3A1 in sensitizing P-Ag-exposed cells for Vγ9Vδ2 TCR-mediated responses. Surface plasmon resonance experiments established Vγ9Vδ2 TCRs used germline-encoded Vγ9 regions to directly bind the BTN2A1 CFG-IgV domain surface. Notably, somatically recombined CDR3 loops implicated in P-Ag recognition were uninvolved. Immunoprecipitations demonstrated close cell-surface BTN2A1-BTN3A1 association independent of P-Ag stimulation. Thus, BTN2A1 is a BTN3A1-linked co-factor critical to Vγ9Vδ2 TCR recognition. Furthermore, these results suggest a composite-ligand model of P-Ag sensing wherein the Vγ9Vδ2 TCR directly interacts with both BTN2A1 and an additional ligand recognized in a CDR3-dependent manner.

Abstract
Early detection of cancer holds high promise for reducing cancer-related mortality. Detection of circulating tumor-specific nucleic acids holds promise, but sensitivity and specificity issues remain with current technology. We studied cell-free RNA (cfRNA) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC; n = 56 stage IV, n = 39 stages I-III), pancreatic cancer (PDAC, n = 20 stage III), malignant melanoma (MM, n = 12 stage III-IV), urothelial bladder cancer (UBC, n = 22 stage II and IV), and 65 healthy controls by means of next generation sequencing (NGS) and real-time droplet digital PCR (RT-ddPCR). We identified 192 overlapping upregulated transcripts in NSCLC and PDAC by NGS, more than 90% of which were noncoding. Previously reported transcripts (e.g., HOTAIRM1) were identified. Plasma cfRNA transcript levels of POU6F2-AS2 discriminated NSCLC from healthy donors (AUC = 0.82 and 0.76 for stages IV and I-III, respectively) and significantly associated (p = 0.017) with the established tumor marker Cyfra 21-1. cfRNA yield and POU6F2-AS transcript abundance discriminated PDAC patients from healthy donors (AUC = 1.0). POU6F2-AS2 transcript was significantly higher in MM (p = 0.044). In summary, our findings support further validation of cfRNA detection by RT-ddPCR as a biomarker for early detection of solid cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) represents an unfavourable prognostic factor for patients with gastric cancer (GC). Intraperitoneal treatment with the bispecific and trifunctional antibody catumaxomab (EpCAM, CD3), in addition to systemic chemotherapy, could improve elimination of PC. METHODS This prospective, randomised, phase II study investigated the efficacy of catumaxomab followed by chemotherapy (arm A, 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, docetaxel, FLOT) or FLOT alone (arm B) in patients with GC and PC. Primary endpoint was the rate of macroscopic complete remission (mCR) of PC at the time of second diagnostic laparoscopy/laparotomy prior to optional surgery. RESULTS Median follow-up was 52 months. Out of 35 patients screened, 15 were allocated to arm A and 16 to arm B. mCR rate was 27% in arm A and 19% in arm B (p = 0.69). Severe side effects associated with catumaxomab were nausea, infection, abdominal pain, and elevated liver enzymes. Median progression-free (6.7 vs. 5.4 months, p = 0.71) and overall survival (13.2 vs. 13.0 months, p = 0.97) were not significantly different in both treatment arms. CONCLUSIONS Addition of catumaxomab to systemic chemotherapy was feasible and tolerable in advanced GC. Although the primary endpoint could not be demonstrated, results are promising for future investigations integrating intraperitoneal immunotherapy into a multimodal treatment strategy.
