    Abstract: 6586 Background: Advanced cancer patients often have a poor understanding of their cancer prognosis. Goals of Care (GoC) discussions provide information about the cancer, its treatment & prognosis and elicit patient values. Little is known about the best ways to enhance patient understanding, clarify values and move GoC discussions earlier in the disease process. We report the effect of coaching oncologists on GoC discussions. Methods: We recruited oncologists & their advanced cancer patients with 〈 2 year prognosis to a RCT testing a coaching model communication skills training. Patients were surveyed after their post-imaging visit. We define GoC discussions as patient report that their doctor talked about their cancer prognosis and clarified things most important to them given their disease. Outcome variables assess the impact of GoC on patients’ knowledge on what to expect and clarity of values. Results: We enrolled 22/25 (88%) oncologists and 70% of eligible patients of whom 96 (55%) completed a survey. On average, doctors were 44 yrs old (32-66) and in practice 14.5 yrs (5-40). Patients’ mean age was 62 yrs (20-95), 40% females, 58% white, 24% Latino & 22 % black. Overall, 2/3 of patients reported their treatment’s goal was to cure their cancer; 14% reported cure to be unlikely. Patients felt more knowledgeable (79% vs 21%; p = 0.02) when their doctors discussed treatments, side effects & quality of life. When patients were asked about things important to them, they report being a bit clearer about their values (65% vs 35%; p = 0.16). Compared to controls, intervention patients felt more knowledgeable (78% v 63%; p = 0.17) but did not feel clearer about their values (60% v 54%; p = 0.59). Multivariate modeling found that poor health literacy (OR = 0.2; 95%CI: 0.07-0.82), having a GoC discussion (OR = 10.2; 1.7-63.1) and being in the intervention group (OR = 8.8; 1.4-55.2) significantly affected knowledge (model c = 0.88; p 〈 0.01). However, discussing what’s important to patients did not help patients feel clearer about their values (OR = 2.7; 0.6-12.2; model c = 0.82; p 〈 0.05). Conclusions: Using a coaching model to teach oncologists communication skills may improve patients’ understanding of what to expect with their cancer but does not impact their clarity of values.

    Abstract: 20 Background: Multiple studies have demonstrated that patients with advanced cancer receive overly aggressive care at the end-of-life. With the goal of ultimately reducing overutilization, we sought to characterize the care we provide and identify if the Rothman Index (RI), a validated EMR tool which displays patients’ clinical condition, could predict those in whom aggressive interventions might be futile. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review on 118 patients with advanced lung cancer who died at SCH in the fiscal year 2012. We extracted: 1. Rates of aggressive interventions including ICU stay, chemotherapy, non-palliative radiation and surgery within 30 days of death; 2. Rate of palliative care (PC) consultation; 3. RI. 4. Readmission rates. Results: 118 lung cancer patients were identified: 88% stage IV, 12% stage III or unstaged. Results are characterized in the Table. Conclusions: Consistent with national trends, utilization of aggressive interventions near the end-of-life is high amongst SCH advanced lung cancer patients. Discordant with ASCO and IOM guidelines, which call for PC in all patients with advanced cancer, PC was involved in only 29% of our study population, which is an opportunity for quality improvement. A RI of 40 appears to be associated with death within 30 days. Further validation of RI may serve as a trigger to direct care toward palliative measures. Going forward we will expand this analysis to our entire cancer population to provide a baseline for future quality interventions. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: Quality measurement is a critical component of advancing a health system that pays for performance over volume. Although there has been significant attention paid to quality measurement within health systems in recent years, significant challenges to meaningful measurement of quality care outcomes remain. Defining cost can be challenging, but is arguably not as elusive as quality, which lacks standard measurement methods and units. To identify industry standards and recommendations for the future, NCCN recently hosted the NCCN Oncology Policy Summit: Defining, Measuring, and Applying Quality in an Evolving Health Policy Landscape and the Implications for Cancer Care. Key stakeholders including physicians, payers, policymakers, patient advocates, and technology partners reviewed current quality measurement programs to identify success and challenges, including the Oncology Care Model. Speakers and panelists identified gaps in quality measurement and provided insights and suggestions for further advancing quality measurement in oncology. This article provides insights and recommendations; however, the goal of this program was to highlight key issues and not to obtain consensus.

    Abstract: Background: In 2012 the FDA approved everolimus and exemestane (EE) as second line therapy for patients who have progressed on letrozole or anastrozole, based on the BOLERO-2 trial which showed improvement in PFS with EE compared to exemestane alone (6.9 vs 2.8 months). Currently, aromatase inhibitors (AI), or fulvestrant (F), alone or in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) are the most commonly used first line endocrine therapies for hormone receptor (HR) positive HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer (mBC). There is currently no clinical trial data regarding the efficacy of EE in patients previously treated with CDK4/6i. The goal of this project was to explore the treatment patterns of EE in this contemporary patient population, with particular interest in those who had received prior CDK4/6i plus AI/F, as first, second, or third-line treatment. Methods: The Flatiron Health electronic health record-derived nationwide database selected de-identified patients with HR positive HER2 negative mBC and the first (1L), second (2L), and third line (3L) treatments they received. Duration of treatment (DOT) is defined as time from the date of initiation of a line of treatment to the day prior to initiation of subsequent line of treatment; prolonged DOT is defined as duration ≥ 6 months. Medical non-cancer co-morbidities listed as defined by the Charlson Comorbidity Index were included. Median DOT was compared using t-test, unadjusted for patient and disease characteristics. Statistical analysis was performed using Python v3.7. Results: A total of 8457 HR positive HER2 negative patients diagnosed with mBC between 1/2011 and 1/2019 were identified. Of these, 726 patients received EE in 1L (N=127), 2L (N=326), or 3L (N=273). In this cohort, 72.3% of patients were diagnosed between 2011-2014, and 27.7% were diagnosed after 1/2015, and most (94.6%) were treated in the community setting. The majority were female (98.4%), Caucasian (75.1%), and had no co-morbidities (79%); the mean age was 64. A quarter of patients (25%) had de novo mBC. The median DOT for 1L EE was 7.6 months (95% CI 5.6, 9.6); 56.7% received 1L EE for ≥6 months. The median DOT for 2L EE was 9.1 months (95% CI 7.6,10.6) following 1L AI/F and 10.7 months (95% CI 8.5,12.9) following 1L AI/F plus CDK4/6i (p & lt;0.02). Over half (52%) of patients received 2L EE for ≥6 months following 1L AI/F, and 32% received 2L EE for ≥6 months following 1L AI/F plus CDK4/6i (p & lt;0.005). The median DOT for 3L EE was 5.6 months (95% CI 3.8, 7.3) following 2L AI/F 2L vs 4.1 months (95% CI 3.1, 5.0) following 2L AI/F plus CDK4/6i (p & lt;0.01). 48.5% received 3L EE for ≥6 months following 2L AI/F vs 34.2% following 2L AI/F plus CDK4/6i (p=0.06). Conclusion: In a cohort of patients with HR positive HER2 negative mBC who received EE in the 2L or 3L, a significant percentage of patients derived clinical benefit (DOT & gt;6 months) from EE, even after CDK4/6i therapy. Patients who received CDK4/6i 1L had longer unadjusted DOT of 2L EE compared to those who received 1L AI/F alone.

    Abstract: Background: Treatment options for TNBC are limited by the lack of estrogen and progesterone receptors as well as the absence of HER2 overexpression. AR is present in all breast cancer subtypes and up to 40% of TNBC have AR overexpression (AR+). Thus AR positivity in TNBC represents a potential targetable signaling pathway. Preclinical studies demonstrated that AR modulation inhibits cell proliferation, and clinical activity with anti-androgen monotherapy has been reported in breast cancer. Orteronel is a novel, oral, selective, nonsteroidal inhibitor of 17, 20-lyase, a key enzyme in androgen biosynthesis under evaluation as a potential therapeutic strategy in hormone-sensitive cancers. In this phase 2 study, we evaluated androgen blockade with single agent orteronel in AR+ metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods: Male or female pts with AR+ MBC (≥10% staining by central immunohistochemistry) were eligible. Pts were grouped into 2 cohorts for analysis: Cohort 1-TNBC (AR+/ER-/PR-/HER2-) and Cohort 2-ER+ (AR+/ER+/HER2 +/-). Results in Cohort 2 (ER+) have been previously reported; here we report results in the AR+ TNBC cohort. TNBC pts must have been previously treated with standard therapy (1-3 chemotherapy regimens for MBC). All pts received 300 mg orteronel PO BID over a 4 week cycle and underwent response assessment every 2 cycles. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The hypothesized response rate for pts with previously treated metastatic AR+ TNBC was 11%. Results: From 7/2014 to 2/2019 a total of 26 AR+ TNBC pts were enrolled on cohort 1. The trial closed early due to slow accrual. Median age was 57 years (range, 33-92); 96% ECOG 0-1; all pts had ≥ 1 prior chemotherapy; 42% prior targeted therapy; 8% prior immunotherapy. All tumors were ER and PR negative per institutional standards. PI3K was mutated in 16% (3/19) tumors tested and 65% (13/20) were PTEN-negative. Median duration of treatment was 8 weeks (range 0.7-35.7) with 15% of pts on treatment ≥ 6 months (mo). All pts have discontinued treatment, 85% due to disease progression, and 15% due to AEs. Nausea and fatigue [8 pts each (31%)] were the most common AEs noted. G 3/4 AEs included hypertension, increased amylase and lipase [2 pts each (8%)] with 4 patients reporting SAEs (G2 pneumonitis, G2 chest pain and G2 peripheral edema, G4 prolonged QT and G4 hypokalemia). The ORR was 4% and DCR was 15%. Median PFS was 2.0 mo and median OS was 10.2 mo. Conclusions: Orteronel monotherapy was well tolerated but demonstrated limited clinical activity in this heavily pre-treated metastatic AR+ TNBC patient population. As novel AR targeting agents are being developed, future studies are needed to identify AR+ breast cancer patients most likely to benefit from AR inhibition.
