    Abstract: e15050 Background: Molecular tumour boards (MTB) facilitate discussions among medical professionals, scientists, bioinformaticians and geneticists for clinical application of precision oncology, via interpretation of various genomic sequencing studies, most commonly Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). NGS test vendor recommendation may differ from the MTB recommendations. We aim to study the discordance rate between these recommendations. Methods: MTB discussions between April 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021, were retrospectively evaluated. MTBs which assessed NGS reports with or without significant genetic mutations but with drug recommendations were included. NGS testing was done with multiple vendors. Patients from all over India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Dubai and Abu Dhabi were discussed. We excluded MTBs which assessed NGS data without any drug recommendations. We compared therapeutic recommendations provided in the NGS report with the first-choice recommendation in the MTB discussion. Recommendation discordance was defined as disagreement between the NGS recommendation and the first MTB recommendation that either instructed its implementation either immediately or on disease progression. Results: 70 MTB data was studied. 49 MTBs assessing NGS reports of 49 unique patients (median age 54 years; range, 32-82) were included in the study. 13 patients had lung cancer, 10 colorectal, 6 breast, 7 hepatopancreatobiliary, 4 carcinoma of unknown primary and 9 others. 17 did not provide any treatment recommendations and hence were excluded. 4 were discussions based on NGS reports previously discussed in an MTB that was already included in the study, hence were excluded. Recommendation discordance rate was 49% (24 of 49). Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first study that assessed discordance rate in recommendations between NGS report and MTB from a low- and middle-income country setting. Accurate clinical translation of complex genomic data is at the forefront of personalized cancer care.

    Abstract: 108 Background: With increasing breast cancer burden, there is need for survivorship programs in developing countries. The Indian Breast Cancer Survivors Conference is a unique initiative, to address this need in urban India. A survey of participants at this meet was conducted to aid planning of future events. Methods: Participants filled a 3-page bilingual questionnaire. Data gathered included demographics, education, treatment and side effects, health behaviors, and social impact of diagnosis. Results: Demographic: 205 breast cancer survivors registered from 5 cities. 190 participated in the study. Mean age was 51.5 years (27-79). 61.6 % reported having one or more college degrees and 86.5% were married. Diagnosis and Treatment: Mean age at diagnosis was 47.5 yrs (22-72). Median time from diagnosis was 36 m (3m-19 yrs). Mastectomy was reported as the surgical treatment by 52.1% (6% reconstruction), 72.9 % reported lymph node removal and 10.8% could not specify surgical details. 90% received chemotherapy; 76.8% underwent radiation (97.3% in lumpectomy pts); 61% took endocrine therapy and 5.1 % interrupted it before 5 years. Side Effects:Arthralgia (64%) and anxiety (60.9%) were most frequent self- reported problems followed by surgical site pain (56.1%), depression (53.9%), cognitive deficits (52.2%), skin/ hair/ nail problems (48.2%), hot flashes (48.2%), arm swelling (48.2%) and vaginal dryness (38.2%). Social Impact:Survivors whowere married or in a relationship described their relationship as stronger after diagnosis in 57.8%, unchanged in 37.4% and weaker in 4.7%. Two were married after diagnosis and none reported separation or divorce. Health Behaviors: Regular surveillance visits were reported by 93.3 % (168/180) of participants (65 with their medical oncologist, 50 with surgeon, 23 with both) 5.5% had not seen their oncologist in 2 years. Alternative medical treatment was used by 29.1% (53/182); 26 used Ayurvedic, 13 homeopathic and 14 other. This was discussed with an oncologist by 62.3%. Regular exercise at least 3 times/week was reported by 73.7% and walking (88.8%) or yoga (22.2%) were preferred. Conclusions: The presented data highlights aspects of breast cancer survivorship in urban Indian women that can be used to plan survivorship programs in future.

    Abstract: 8053 Background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of nimotuzumab in combination with chemotherapy (docetaxel and carboplatin) versus chemotherapy alone in stage IIIB/IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods: This multicenter, open-label, phase II study, randomized 110 patients to receive nimotuzumab plus chemotherapy (nimotuzumab group) or chemotherapy alone (control group), and comprised concomitant, maintenance, and follow-up phases. Nimotuzumab (200 mg) was administered once weekly for 13 weeks during the first 2 phases with 4 cycles of chemotherapy; docetaxel (75 mg/m 2 ) and carboplatin (area under the curve [AUC] = 5 mg/ml*min), every 3 weeks for a maximum of 4 cycles during the concomitant phase. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR; sum of complete response [CR] and partial response [PR]). Secondary endpoints, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. Efficacy was evaluated on the intent-to-treat (ITT) and efficacy-evaluable (EE) sets. Safety was assessed from adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) data. Results: ORR was significantly higher in the nimotuzumab group than in the control group in the ITT (54% vs. 34.5%; P=0.04) population. CR and PR were achieved in 3.6% and 50% patients, respectively, in the nimotuzumab group, and in 4% and 30.9% patients, respectively, in the control group. No significant differences in median PFS and OS were observed. Safety profiles were comparable between the 2 groups. Conclusions: Nimotuzumab plus chemotherapy significantly improved ORR as compared to chemotherapy alone; the combination was safe and well tolerated in stage IIIB/IV NSCLC patients.

    Abstract: 208 Background: In The Indian Scenario, a diagnosis of cancer is accompanied with social stigma and emotional upheavals, especially in breast cancer patients. They are typically thinking: “I would be less of a woman,” “I don’t know if people understand me,” “I feel isolated from myself, my family and my friends,” “Would I be normal again?” “Do I know how to help myself?” or “What will happen in the future, to my kids, to my husband?” Methods: All of these concerns are not always addressed by the medical professions. To address these issues, the Indian Breast Cancer Survivors Conference was organized as an annual conference with an attendance of 200-250 breast cancer survivors from the state of Maharashtra, India. The conference would address the psychological, emotional and social distress experienced by the patients with an aim from living a longer life to living a better and fulfilled life. Results: The emphasis of the sessions were educational (with recent updates on the surgical, medical and radiation therapy aspects of breast cancer treatment), practical (emphasized important issues like side-effects of treatment, patient advocacy, complementary therapies, spirituality, lifestyle changes, etc.), and entertaining. The summary and outcomes of the last 5 annual survivorship conferences will be described and enumerated. Results of questionnaires administered during the last 2 conferences and addressing health behavior patterns of survivors will be presented. Conclusions: We can evaluate through post conference support group discussions and conference feedback, qualify patient psychological and social health as 1) Physical:There are side effects but I choose to go on; 2) Mental: There are times that I am low, depressed, anxious, scared, guilty, but this is my new normal; 3) Emotional:Little things upset me, angry quickly but I am dealing with it; 4)Spiritual:Moved away from bargaining with God to accepting, from rituals to spiritual; 5) Social:don’t hesitate to reach out for support and to support; and 5) Intellectual:Knowledge is power, so I have learned to ask, to question, and then to decide. Achieving psychological and social health is the effort of the patient, the treating team and the support group.

    Abstract: 2011 Background: Despite survival benefits of guideline compliant cancer care, under treatment and over treatment are prevalent. Navya is an AI enabled online intervention that matches a patient’s medical record with NCCN and NCG guidelines (National Cancer Grid, India) and layers live multidisciplinary expert review to recommend actionable treatment plans. It was developed to standardize care and mitigate morbidity and mortality, by delivering on-t ime, guideline based expert treatment plans. Methods: From July 2019 to January 2020, all patients who received a Navya treatment plan based on guidelines and live expert review were included. Intended treatment plans were prospectively collected from the patient. Compliance of intended plans with NCCN (including Resource Stratified Framework) or NCG was measured. Noncompliant intended plans were categorized as overtreatment or undertreatment. After delivery of Navya plan, prospective phone follow up assessed whether noncompliant intended plans were changed to guideline compliant care. Results: Of 1707 consecutive patients who received a Navya plan, 1549 intended plans were available. Patients were diverse with respect to geographic, socioeconomic, and primary tumor distribution: West of India: 28%, North: 26%, East: 21%, South: 15%, Central: 7%, International: 3%; 35% of patients with income 〈 $300/month; GI: 23%, Breast: 14%, Head & Neck: 11%, Thoracic: 10%. Of the 1549 intended plans, 441 (28.47% (95% CI ± 0.26%)) were not compliant with NCCN or NCG. Undertreatment was 35%, overtreatment 26%, incomplete staging workup 28% and 11% could not be categorized. Of 441 patients with noncompliant intended plans, 80.19% (± 0.97%) shared the Navya plan with their treating oncologists and 50.40% (± 0.88%) changed their intended plan to receive the Navya treatment plan. Intervention with Navya increased on-the -ground guideline compliance by ~15% (from 71.53% ±0.42% to 85.87% ± 1.73%). Conclusions: Guideline compliant care ensures best achievable clinical outcomes with existing therapies. A technological earthshot that significantly increases adoption of guideline based care is the first step towards cancer moonshots.

    Abstract: 3011 Background: Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) have emerged as important targets in anticancer drug development. P1446A-05 is a potent and specific inhibitor of Cdk4-D1 (IC 50 -0.09µM), Cdk1-B (IC 50 -0.025µM), and Cdk9-T (IC 50 -0.022µM). This study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose limiting toxicity (DLT), safety profile, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of orally administered P1446A-05 in patients with advanced refractory tumors. Methods: This study was conducted at 5 centers in India. P1446A-05 was administered in escalating doses across 5 cohorts of eligible pts starting with a dose of 75 mg once a day (OD) for 14 days in a 21 day cycle utilizing a modified Fibonacci scheme for dose escalation. 10 pts positive for cyclin D1 expression in the tumor were enrolled at MTD. Treatment was continued until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. For pharmacokinetic analysis, blood samples were collected on days 1 and 13/14 of cycle 1 at multiple time points. In consenting pts, skin and tumor tissue biopsies were collected on days 1 (pre-dose), 8 and 15 of cycle 1. Results: A total of 29 patients were dosed. Two DLTs (abdominal pain and acute renal failure) were reported at 850 mg/d. The MTD was 600 mg/d and diarrhea was reported as 1 DLT at this dose level. Six SAEs including one death related to study drug were reported. Pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated a median half-life of 16 to 26 h and linear increase in exposure at steady state across tested doses. Plasma concentration at 300 mg/d dose level crossed efficacy exposure of 100mg/kg of five day dosing in SCID mice. The recommended phase II dose is 600 mg OD on this schedule. Stable disease for 4 to 6 cycles was reported in 5 pts. Of them, one patient each with breast cancer, spindle cell sarcoma in neck, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma had cyclin D1 over expression. No objective responses were observed in this group of heavily pretreated patients. Conclusions: The safety profile of P1446A-05 is considered acceptable. On this dosing schedule, the MTD is determined as 600 mg/day. Further testing of P1446A-05 in phase II studies is planned.
