    Abstract: Invasive aspergillosis is a life-threatening complication in hematological cancer patients (pts). VCZ is the established first-line standard treatment of IA. Failure of VCZ therapy in IA due to lack of efficacy or adverse events (AEs) occurs in 30-40% of treated pts. VCZ has a nonlinear pharmacokinetic profile and exhibits considerable variability of drug exposure. Therefore, TDM of VCZ may help to improve treatment results in pts with IA. While TDM is recommended by some authors, evidence-based data on the clinical use of TDM in pts treated with VCZ for IA are scarce. Our present analysis assessed published studies for evidence-based criteria guiding TDM of VCZ to improve efficacy and safety of IA therapy in cancer pts. Evidence-based guidance is needed to support decisions on the use of TDM in clinical routine VCZ therapy of IA. Patients and methods Literature searches of Medline, Cochrane database and conference abstracts were performed. We identified 25 clinical studies (comprising a total of 3822 pts, range 5 - 1091) reporting on the use of TDM for VCZ. For each study, strength of recommendation and quality of evidence was categorized according to criteria defined by Kish et al. (Clin Infect Dis 2001). Each trial was was assessed separately.for the categories efficacy, toxicity, timing of TDM and dose adjustment. The majority of trials included cancer pts. Two trials reported on a pediatric population ( 〉 0 - 〈 12 yrs of age), 21 trials reported on adults only, while the remaining 5 trials reported on children and adults. Evaluable TDM data were reported for 3313 pts, whereas 509 pts were not included for TDM for various reasons. VCZ plasma levels were determined by HPLC in 23 trials. A total of 8266 VCZ serum levels were reported. Of the 7 prospective studies, 1 randomized prospective, double-blind trial included pts treated with VCZ or fluconazole. The primary endpoint of a significant AE reduction by TDM of VCZ versus no TDM was not reached (CI), while efficacy was higher in pts managed with TDM (BI). The other studies were observational or retrospective cohort studies. 18 reports provided data on both intravenous and oral use of VCZ, 4 trials reported on intravenous VCZ and 3 on oral VCZ only. 13/25 trials were evaluable for evidence on TDM regarding efficacy, 10/25 for toxicity. High inter- and intra-study variability was observed for timepoints of VCZ measurement (day 1 to 〉 day 210) and number of VCZ plasma levels (n = 2 to 〉 40). Across the studies, VCZ levels 〉 5-5.5 mg/L were found to be associated with toxicity (BII), while reaching minimum levels of 〉 1-2 mg/L appeared to improve efficacy (BII). Timing (CIII), frequency (CIII) and intervention thresholds (CIII) of VCZ TDM remain an open question. Conclusion Although a substantial number of studies is published on TDM in VCZ therapy of IA, there is still no robust evidence for recommendations in clinical practice. VCZ levels 〉 5-5.5 mg/L were reported to be associated with toxicity (BII), while minimum levels of 〉 1-2 mg/L may improve efficacy (BII). However, timing (CIII) and frequency (CIII) of TDM als well as intervention thresholds (CIII) and dosage increments for adjustment of VCZ plasma levels need to be established in a multicenter randomized clinical trial to provide a scientifically adequate basis for guidance on TDM of VCZ for IA in cancer pts.

    Abstract: Abstract 4736 Background Invasive zygomycosis accounts for a significant proportion of all invasive fungal diseases (IFD), but clinical data on the clinical course and treatment response is limited. Methods Fungiscope” - A Global Rare Fungal Infection Registry is a university-based case registry that collects data of patients with rare IFD, using a web-based electronic case form at www.fungiscope.net. Results Fourty-one patients with invasive zygomycosis were registered. Five were pediatric (12.2%), 28 (68.3%) male. Median age was 49 years (range 2-88). Most common underlying conditions were malignancies (n=26; 63.4%), diabetes mellitus (n=7; 17%) and solid organ transplant (n=4; 9.8%). Diagnosis was made by culture in 28 patients (68.3%), by histology in 26 patients (63.4%). Main sites of infection were lungs (n=24; 58.5%), soft tissues (n=8; 19.5%), rhino-sinu-orbital (n=8; 19.5%), brain (n=6; 14.6%). Disseminated infection of 〉 1 non-contiguous sites was seen in 4 patients (9.8%). A favorable response was observed in 23 patients (56.1%). Overall survival was 51.2%. At diagnosis, ten patients (24.4%) were under continuous antifungal prophylaxis with itraconazole (n=1; 2.4%) or posaconazole (n=3; 7.3%). Empiric treatment was administered to 17 patients (41.4%). Survival was significantly improved in patients receiving active (n=7; 17.1%), as opposed to inactive empiric treatment (p=0.036). Initial targeted treatment with activity against zygomycetes was administered to 34 patients (82.9%). Liposomal amphotericin B was associated with improved response (p=0.012), and survival rates (p=0.004). Additional surgical treatment was performed in 21 patients (51.2%) and was not associated with improved response or survival. Conclusion Invasive zygomycosis is associated with low response rates to surgical and antifungal therapy. There was a marked amount of breakthrough infections under antifungal prophylaxis, including posaconazole. Only few patients received empiric treatment with activity against zygomycetes. Initial treatment with a polyene was associated with improved survival rates. Disclosures: Rueping: Essex/Schering-Plough: Speakers Bureau.

    Abstract: Introduction: Platinum and anthracyclin chemotherapy regimens are frequently used in hematology pts and compromised by severe acute and delayed CINV. NEPA, a fixed dose combination of the long lasting NK1-receptor antagonist (RA) netupitant and the pharmacological distinct 5HT3-RA palonosetron, has been approved by FDA and EMA for the prevention of acute and delayed CINV receiving highly emetogenic cisplatin- and AC-based as well as moderately emetogenic chemotherapy. A German non-interventional study is currently investigating NEPA's efficacy and impact on quality of life in adult cancer patients by PRO and physicians' personal assessment under real life conditions. Objectives: Primary objective is to evaluate quality of life (QoL) in adult patients receiving NEPA for CINV prevention. Secondary endpoints are efficacy and safety of NEPA. Methods: This open label, non-interventional, prospective, national, multicenter study evaluates CINV prevention and patients' QoL with NEPA in 2,500 pts receiving either highly or moderately emetogenic cytostatics on up to 2 consecutive days. NEPA is prescribed in accordance with the EU marketing authorization. QoL is evaluated by the validated FLIE questionnaire for 3 chemotherapy cycles 24 hours before, within 24 hours after and additional 4 days after chemotherapy. Efficacy is documented via patient diaries for the same time period. Safety and physicians' overall satisfaction is reported via eCRF. The interim analysis reports on the first 20% of the pre-planned number of patients. Results: Between June 2015 and July 2016 a total of 583 patients were enrolled. Median age was 56 (range of 28-88) with 521 out of 583 patients that completed documentation. A total of 291 patients (56%) received AC-based chemotherapy. Efficacy, evaluated by physicians' personal assessment on a 4-point scale, was rated very good or good for 486 (90.7%), 409 (93.4%) and 350 (92.9%) patients in cycle 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Complete response was analyzed based on 87 completed patient diaries. Here, 88.5% reported no emesis and no rescue medication in the acute phase (0-24h post chemotherapy), while 85.1% and 79.3% reported complete response in the delayed ( 〉 24-120h post chemotherapy) and overall phase (0-120h post chemotherapy). A high percentage of patients did not suffer from any emesis (94%, 99% and 93% in acute, delayed and overall phase). The study is ongoing. Conclusions: NEPA proved to be highly effective for prevention of chemotherapy-induced emesis and nausea. Patient reported outcome was rated very good or good in more than 90% of Ctx cycles in the acute as the delayed phase of highly and moderately emetogenic Ctx including cisplatin or anthracyclin based therapy.

    Abstract: 227 Background: PALO (0.50 mg), a distinctive second-generation 5-HT 3 receptor antagonist (RA), is a component of the oral fixed combination agent NEPA, the second component being the NK 1 RA netupitant. Oral NEPA is approved for acute and delayed CINV prophylaxis after moderately (MEC) and HEC. This study was conducted in support of the NEPA IV formulation (0.25 mg PALO + 235 mg fosnetupitant) administered as a 30-min IV inf, currently under FDA review. Methods: Chemotherapy-naive patients (pts) with solid tumors were randomized (1:1) to receive a single 0.25-mg PALO as a 30-min IV inf or a 30-sec IV bol, 30 min before reference HEC (cisplatin; dacarbazine), with oral dexamethasone (20 mg [D1]; 8 mg BID [D2–4] ) (NCT02557035). Primary objective: noninferiority (NI; lower limit of the 99% CI to be 〉 –15% [prespecified NI margin]) in complete response (CR; no emesis/no rescue) in the acute (0–24 h) phase. Secondary objective: safety. Results: 440 pts (median age 59.4 y [25–79] ; cisplatin: 97.3%; dacarbazine: 2.7%) were randomized to IV inf (n=225) or IV bol (n=215). Baseline characteristics were similar. Acute CR rate was 82.7% (IV inf) and 86.5% (IV bol), with risk difference of –3.8% (99% CI: –12.2; 4.7) meeting the primary objective of NI. Treatment-emergent AE and study drug-related AE frequency was similar in both arms (Table). One PALO IV inf patient with pre-existing cardiac symptoms, experienced 1 serious AE that eventually lead to death and was considered possibly study drug-related by the investigator. No G≥3 infusion site reactions occurred. No patient in IV inf arm had infusion interruptions. Conclusions: PALO IV inf was noninferior to IV bol in acute CINV prevention after receiving non-AC HEC. Safety profiles were similar. No specific infusion toxicities were observed. The results show that PALO 0.25 mg IV inf is appropriate for the NEPA IV formulation. Clinical trial information: NCT02557035. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 3553 Background: This trial investigates the addition of panitumumab to chemotherapy with fluorouracil/ folinic acid and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) in a 2:1 randomized, controlled, open label, phase II trial in RAS wild-type colorectal cancer patients with R0/1-resected liver metastases. Methods: The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) two years after randomisation. The experimental arm (12 wks of biweekly mFOLFOX6 plus panitumumab followed by 12 wks of panitumumab alone) was considered active if the 2-year-PFS rate was ≥65%. Based on historical data, a 2-year-PFS rate of 50% was estimated in the control arm (12 wks of biweekly FOLFOX). The trial was performed with a power of 80% and an alpha of 0.05. Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS) and toxicity. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01384994. Results: The full analysis set consists of 70 patients (pts) in the experimental arm and 36 pts in the control arm. The 2-year-PFS rate was 34.3% with FOLFOX plus panitumumab and failed to meet the primary endpoint. The 2-year-PFS rate in the control arm was 25%. In the experimental arm, a more favourable outcome was observed with regard to PFS (HR: 0.72, 95%CI 0.45-1.17; P = 0.18) and OS (HR: 0.76 (95% CI 0.34-1.71, P = 0.51) which did, however, not reach the level of significance. Updated data including toxicity and subgroup analyses might be presented at the meeting Conclusions: The PARLIM trial clearly failed to demonstrate a PFS rate of 65% after resection of colorectal liver metastases 2 years after randomisation, potentially indicating that the generally high frequency of recurrence and the choice of primary endpoint did not correspond in this study population. However, a trend for improved PFS and OS by the addition of panitumumab to 12 wks of FOLFOX followed by 12 wks panitumumab maintenance therapy may support future trials with ant-EGFR antibodies in this specific treatment setting. Clinical trial information: NCT01384994.

    Abstract: 3587 Background: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) may reflect response to antitumor treatment in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The predictive value of CEA has not yet been proven for subsequent maintenance therapy. This analysis aims to evaluate the predictive and prognostic value of pre- and post-induction treatment CEA on maintenance with 5-fluoruracil/leucovorin (FU/FA) plus panitumumab (pmab) [arm A] or FU/FA alone [arm B] in RAS wildtype mCRC patients treated within the PanaMa trial. Methods: Patients with CEA measurements (pre- and post-induction therapy) were grouped as normal (both measurements ≤5 ug/l), stable (between +25% and -25%), decreasing ( 〈 -25%), and increasing ( 〉 +25%) CEA. Survival parameters (overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) from initiation of maintenance therapy) were expressed by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank testing, and Cox regression. The objective response (OR) to maintenance therapy was analyzed by chi-square testing. Results: Out of 248 patients in the in the full analysis set, 245 patients were eligible for CEA analysis. Normal CEA occurred in 58 (23.7%), stable CEA in 16 (6.5%), decreasing CEA in 161 (65.7%), and increasing CEA in 10 (4.1%) patients. In the subgroup of decreasing CEA, there was a significant difference in the prediction of OR between both treatment arms with a better positive predictive value for the pmab-containing maintenance (44.0% vs. 27.5%, p=0.032). Increasing compared to decreasing CEA was associated with unfavourable survival outcome of maintenance irrespective of treatment arm (Table). Conclusions: CEA kinetics during induction therapy appears to have a predictive value for subsequent maintenance, notably pmab-based. Besides that, CEA levels had a significant impact on survival parameters of maintenance irrespective of the addition of pmab to FU/FA. This analysis is limited by the small number of patients in the subgroup of increasing CEA. Clinical trial information: NCT01991873. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 127 Background: Despite molecular selection, patients with RAS wildtype mCRC represent a heterogeneous population, including different metastatic patterns and number of organs involved. We investigated metastatic patterns for their prognostic and predictive impact on maintenance therapy with (FU/FA plus Pmab or FU/FA alone) in patients treated within the PanaMa trial. Methods: The study population was stratified according to number of organs involved and also to different patterns including liver metastases alone or in combination with additional organs. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regressions were used to correlate efficacy endpoints (i.e. progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of maintenance therapy) in the aforementioned populations. Results: Of 248 patients (pts) receiving maintenance therapy, 133 pts had a one-metastatic site disease (53.6%). Of those, 102 pts had liver-only metastases. Furthermore, liver metastases plus one additional involved organ was observed in 61/248 patients (24.6%), and liver metastases plus two or more organs in 40/248 patients (16.1%). In general, one organ disease was associated with favourable PFS of maintenance therapy compared to patients with ≥2 organs involved (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.52–0.88; P = 0.004). A predictive impact of disease spread in terms of pmab-containing maintenance therapy was present for the PFS of maintenance therapy in patients with ≥ 2 organ disease (HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.39–0.86; P = 0.006) unlike in patients with only one-organ disease (HR 0.83, 95% CI, 0.57-1.21; P = 0.332) and also specifically in patients with a 2-organ disease including the liver (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.33–0.99; P = 0.046). Conclusions: Consistent with previous reports, organ spread has prognostic impact in mCRC. The efficacy of more intensive maintenance therapy (including pmab and 5-FU/FA) is predominantly seen in patients with more than one organ involved in the metastatic spread, while less striking effects were seen in patients with only one organ disease. These data may support clinical decisions when EGFR-based maintenance therapy is considered. Clinical trial information: NCT01991873 .
