Abstract
BACKGROUND Regorafenib is one of several FDA-approved cancer therapies targeting multiple tyrosine kinases. However, there are few subtype-specific data regarding kinase inhibitor activity in sarcomas. We report results of a single arm, phase II trial of regorafenib in advanced Ewing family sarcomas. METHODS Patients with metastatic Ewing family sarcomas (age ≥ 18, ECOG 0-2, good organ function) who had received at least one line of therapy and experienced progression within 6 months of registration were eligible. Prior kinase inhibitors were not allowed. The initial dose of regorafenib was 160 mg oral days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle. The primary endpoint was estimating progression-free rate (PFR) at 8 weeks employing RECIST 1.1. RESULTS Thirty patients (median age, 32 years; 33% women [10 patients]; bone primary, 40%; extraskeletal primary, 60%) enrolled at 14 sites. The most common grade 3 or higher toxicities were hypophosphatemia (5 grade 3, 1 grade 4), hypertension (2 grade 3), elevated ALT (2 grade 3). Sixteen patients required dose reductions, most often for hypophosphatemia (n = 7 reductions in 6 patients); two stopped regorafenib for toxicity. There was one death unrelated to treatment in the 30-day post-study period. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 14.8 weeks (95% CI 7.3-15.9); PFR at 8 weeks by Kaplan-Meier analysis was 63% (95% CI 46-81%). The RECIST 1.1 response rate was 10%. Median OS was 53 weeks (95% CI 37-106 weeks). CONCLUSIONS Regorafenib has modest activity in the Ewing family sarcomas. Toxicity was similar to that seen in approval studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Prostate cancer (PCa) becomes resistant to androgen ablation through adaptive upregulation of the androgen receptor in response to the low-testosterone microenvironment. Bipolar androgen therapy (BAT), defined as rapid cycling between high and low serum testosterone, disrupts this adaptive regulation in castration-resistant PCa (CRPC). METHODS The TRANSFORMER (Testosterone Revival Abolishes Negative Symptoms, Fosters Objective Response and Modulates Enzalutamide Resistance) study is a randomized study comparing monthly BAT (n = 94) with enzalutamide (n = 101). The primary end point was clinical or radiographic progression-free survival (PFS); crossover was permitted at progression. Secondary end points included overall survival (OS), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and objective response rates, PFS from randomization through crossover (PFS2), safety, and quality of life (QoL). RESULTS The PFS was 5.7 months for both arms (hazard ratio [HR], 1.14; 95% CI, 0.83 to 1.55; P = .42). For BAT, 50% decline in PSA (PSA50) was 28.2% of patients versus 25.3% for enzalutamide. At crossover, PSA50 response occurred in 77.8% of patients crossing to enzalutamide and 23.4% to BAT. The PSA-PFS for enzalutamide increased from 3.8 months after abiraterone to 10.9 months after BAT. The PFS2 for BAT→enzalutamide was 28.2 versus 19.6 months for enzalutamide→BAT (HR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.22 to 0.88; P = .02). OS was 32.9 months for BAT versus 29.0 months for enzalutamide (HR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.66 to 1.39; P = .80). OS was 37.1 months for patients crossing from BAT to enzalutamide versus 30.2 months for the opposite sequence (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.36 to 1.28; P = .225). BAT adverse events were primarily grade 1-2. Patient-reported QoL consistently favored BAT. CONCLUSION This randomized trial establishes meaningful clinical activity and safety of BAT and supports additional study to determine its optimal clinical integration. BAT can sensitize CRPC to subsequent antiandrogen therapy. Further study is required to confirm whether sequential therapy with BAT and enzalutamide can improve survival in men with CRPC.

Abstract
5517 Background: Rapid cycling between high and low testosterone (T) (i.e BAT) produces tumor response in mCRPC, and may overcome resistance to newer AR therapies. Here we report a randomized study comparing BAT to E in men with mCRPC progressing on abiraterone (A). Methods: In this phase 2 trial, men received either T cypionate 400mg IM (BAT) once every 28 days or daily oral E 160mg. Primary endpoint was clinical/radiographic PFS; crossover was permitted at progression. Secondary endpoints were OS, PSA progression to primary and crossover therapy, PSA and objective responses (OR), time to PSA progression from randomization through crossover (PFS2), quality of life (QoL), and AEs. Results: 195 men were randomized (94 to BAT, 101 to E). Results are presented in table. Although diametrically opposed therapies, median PFS and PSA response in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population was not significantly different between BAT and E. OR and OS favored BAT. For those who received BAT and then crossed over to E the PSA50 response was 77.8% and time to PSA progression was 10.9 mo compared to 25.3% and 3.8 mo for those receiving E immediately after A. The sequence of treatment had a significant effect on median PSF2 which was 28.2 mo for men receiving BAT→E vs. 19.6 m for E→BAT. For men who crossed over from BAT to E, OS was 37.3 mo vs. 28.6 months for those receiving E without crossover. AEs were primarily grade 1-2 in the BAT arm and included fatigue, generalized pain, and lower extremity edema. BAT improved QoL (fatigue, physical functioning, sexual function) vs. E. Conclusions: BAT could be safely administered to asymptomatic men with mCRPC. BAT produced a comparable PFS to E in A-refractory mCRPC pts. However, PSA50 and OR after crossover, as well as PFS2, were significantly improved in men who received BAT→E versus E→BAT. OS in men receiving BAT→E was 37.3 mo, exceeding historical expectations. These results support the hypothesis that treatment with BAT is safe, has efficacy and can restore sensitivity to antiandrogens. Clinical trial information: NCT02286921 . [Table: see text]

Abstract
PURPOSE We recently reported a 17.5% objective RECIST 1.1 response rate in a phase II study of pembrolizumab in patients with advanced sarcoma (SARC028). The majority of responses occurred in undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS). We sought to determine whether we can identify immune features that correlate with clinical outcomes from tumor tissues obtained pre- and on-treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS Pretreatment (n = 78) and 8-week on-treatment (n = 68) tumor biopsies were stained for PD-L1 and multiplex immunofluorescence panels. The density of positive cells was quantified to determine associations with anti-PD-1 response. RESULTS Patients that responded to pembrolizumab were more likely to have higher densities of activated T cells (CD8+ CD3+ PD-1+) and increased percentage of tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) expressing PD-L1 pre-treatment compared with non-responders. Pre-treatment tumors from responders also exhibited higher densities of effector memory cytotoxic T cells and regulatory T cells compared with non-responders. In addition, higher density of cytotoxic tumor-infiltrating T cells at baseline correlated with a better progression-free survival (PFS). CONCLUSIONS We show that quantitative assessments of CD8+ CD3+ PD-1+ T cells, percentage of TAMs expressing PD-L1, and other T-cell densities correlate with sarcoma response to pembrolizumab and improved PFS. Our findings support that multiple cell types present at the start of treatment may enhance tumor regression following anti-PD-1 therapy in specific advanced sarcomas. Efforts to confirm the activity of pembrolizumab in an expansion cohort of patients with UPS/DDLPS are underway.

Abstract
Soft-tissue sarcomas represent a heterogeneous group of cancer, with more than 50 histological subtypes1,2. The clinical presentation of patients with different subtypes is often atypical, and responses to therapies such as immune checkpoint blockade vary widely3,4. To explain this clinical variability, here we study gene expression profiles in 608 tumours across subtypes of soft-tissue sarcoma. We establish an immune-based classification on the basis of the composition of the tumour microenvironment and identify five distinct phenotypes: immune-low (A and B), immune-high (D and E), and highly vascularized (C) groups. In situ analysis of an independent validation cohort shows that class E was characterized by the presence of tertiary lymphoid structures that contain T cells and follicular dendritic cells and are particularly rich in B cells. B cells are the strongest prognostic factor even in the context of high or low CD8+ T cells and cytotoxic contents. The class-E group demonstrated improved survival and a high response rate to PD1 blockade with pembrolizumab in a phase 2 clinical trial. Together, this work confirms the immune subtypes in patients with soft-tissue sarcoma, and unravels the potential of B-cell-rich tertiary lymphoid structures to guide clinical decision-making and treatments, which could have broader applications in other diseases.

Abstract
Importance Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are life-threatening when metastatic or not amenable to surgical removal. In a few patients with advanced GISTs refractory to imatinib mesylate, treatment with sunitinib malate followed by regorafenib provides tumor control; however, additional active treatments are needed for most patients. Objective To evaluate the 6-month progression-free survival (PFS), tumor objective response, and overall survival rates in patients with GISTs treated with dasatinib. Design, Setting, and Participants This single-arm clinical trial used a Bayesian design to enroll patients 13 years or older with measurable imatinib-refractory metastatic GISTs treated at 14 sarcoma referral centers from June 1, 2008, through December 31, 2009. A control group was not included. Patients were followed up for survival for a minimum of 5 years from date of enrollment. Tumor imaging using computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging was performed every 8 weeks for the first 24 weeks and every 12 weeks thereafter. Tumor response was assessed by local site using the Choi criteria. Treatment was continued until tumor progression, unacceptable toxic effects after reduction in drug dose, or patient or physician decision. Archival tumor tissue was evaluated for expression of the proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src (SRC), phosphorylated SRC (pSRC), and succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B (SDHB) proteins and for mutation in the V-Kit Hardy-Zuckerman 4 feline sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KIT) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRA) genes. Data analysis was performed from May 19, 2017, through December 20, 2017. Interventions Dasatinib, 70 mg orally twice daily. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was the 6-month PFS estimate using greater than 30% as evidence of an active drug and less than 10% as evidence of inactive treatment. Results In this study, 50 patients were enrolled (median age, 60 years; age range, 19-78 years; 31 [62%] male and 19 [38%] female; 41 [82%] white), and 48 were evaluable for response. The estimated 6-month PFS rate was 29% in the overall population and 50% in a subset of 14 patients with pSRC in GISTs. Objective tumor response was observed in 25%, including 1 patient with an imatinib-resistant mutation in PDGFRA exon 18. Conclusions and Relevance Dasatinib may have activity in a subset of patients with imatinib-resistant GISTs. Further study is needed to determine whether pSRC is a prognostic biomarker.

Abstract
PURPOSE SARC024 is a phase II clinical trial of the multikinase inhibitor regorafenib in specific sarcoma subtypes, including advanced osteosarcoma. We hypothesized that regorafenib would improve progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with sarcoma and report the results of the osteosarcoma cohort. PATIENTS AND METHODS This trial enrolled patients with progressive metastatic osteosarcoma with measurable disease by RECIST who had received at least one prior line of therapy. Patients were randomly assigned at a ratio of one to one to regorafenib or placebo. Crossover was allowed at time of disease progression. PFS was the primary end point of the study, which was powered to detect a difference of at least 3 months in median PFS. RESULTS Forty-two patients from 12 centers were enrolled between September 2014 and May 2018. Median age was 37 years (range, 18 to 76 years). Patients had received an average of 2.3 prior therapy regimens. Ten patients receiving placebo crossed over to active drug at time of progression. Study enrollment was stopped early, after a data safety monitoring committee review. Median PFS was significantly improved with regorafenib versus placebo: 3.6 months (95% CI, 2.0 to 7.6 months) versus 1.7 months (95% CI, 1.2 to 1.8 months), respectively (hazard ratio, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.21 to 0.85; P = .017). In the context of the crossover design, there was no statistically significant difference in overall survival. Fourteen (64%) of 22 patients initially randomly assigned to regorafenib experienced grade 3 to 4 events attributed to treatment, including one grade 4 colonic perforation. CONCLUSION The study met its primary end point, demonstrating activity of regorafenib in patients with progressive metastatic osteosarcoma. No new safety signals were observed. Regorafenib should be considered a treatment option for patients with relapsed metastatic osteosarcoma.

Abstract
11015 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated activity in multiple tumor types but their activity in soft tissue sarcomas remains limited. In the multicenter phase II study, SARC028, the anti-PD-1 antibody, P demonstrated objective responses that were largely restricted to UPS and LPS subtypes. We now report outcomes from 2 expansion cohorts of SARC 028 in advanced UPS and LPS. Methods: To further confirm the clinical activity of P in UPS and LPS, we enrolled an additional 30 pts in each of 2 expansion cohorts for a total of 40 UPS and 40 LPS pts. Primary endpoint was investigator-assessed response by RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints were safety, progression-free survival (PFS), 12-week PFS rate, and overall survival (OS). An ORR of 25% was considered clinically meaningful and < 10% was considered to show lack of efficacy. P was to be considered a success if 8 or more of 40 enrolled patients had a PR or better (1-sided α = 0.042, 82% power). Pts age ≥18 with advanced, refractory UPS or LPS received 200 mg of P IV every 3 weeks until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: Preliminary results from the first 10 pts in each of the UPS and LPS cohorts have been reported. We now present summary data after enrolling an additional 30 pts in each cohort. The ORR in the UPS cohort was 23% (9/40), with an additional 5/30 PRs observed in the expansion cohort (total 2 CRs, 7 PRs). In the LPS cohort, the ORR was 10% (4/39 evaluable pts), with an additional 2/30 PRs observed (total 4 PRs). Median PFS for the UPS group was 3 months [95% CI: 2, 5] and 2 months [95% CI: 2, 4] for the LPS group. 12-week PFS rate was 50% in UPS [95% CI: 35, 65] and 44% in LPS [95% CI: 28, 60]. The UPS group had a median OS of 12 months [95% CI: 7, 34] and 13 months [95% CI: 8, NR] for the LPS group. P was well tolerated with no unexpected toxicities. Conclusions: The UPS cohort achieved its primary endpoint, however the activity of P in UPS deserves further evaluation in a randomized study. The activity of P was not confirmed in the LPS cohort. Ongoing biomarker analyses may direct better patient selection and guide future combination strategies. Clinical trial information: NCT02301039.

Abstract
Background The choice of a regimen in metastatic pancreatic cancer patients following progression on 1st line therapy is empiric and outcomes are unsatisfactory. This phase II study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of therapy selected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in these patients following progression after one or more therapies. Methods Eligible patients underwent a percutaneous biopsy of a metastatic lesion and treatment selection was determined by IHC. The study required 35 evaluable patients (power of 86%) for detecting a true 1-year survival rate of >20%. Results A tumor biopsy was performed in 48 of 49 accrued patients. Study therapy was not given (n=13) either due to insufficient tumor on biopsy (n=8) or due to worsening cancer related symptoms after biopsy (n=5). The demographics of evaluable patients (n=35) are male/female (59%/41%), with age range 34-78 years (median 63 years). Patients had 1-6 prior regimens (median of 2). The most common IHC targets were topoisomerase 1 or 2, thymidylate synthase, excision repair cross-complementation group 1 protein (ERCC1), and osteonectin secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC). Commercially available treatment regimens prescribed included FOLFIRI, FOLFOX, irinotecan, and doxorubicin. The response (RECIST) was 9%, the median survival was 5.6 months (94% CI, 3.8-8.2), and the 1-year survival was 20% (95% CI, 7-33%). Conclusions In all patients, IHC assays resulted in identification of at least two targets for therapy and a non-cross resistant regimen could be prescribed for therapy with evidence of some benefit. An IHC based treatment strategy is feasible and needs validation in larger studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with advanced sarcomas have a poor prognosis and few treatment options that improve overall survival. Chemotherapy and targeted therapies offer short-lived disease control. We assessed pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, for safety and activity in patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma or bone sarcoma. METHODS In this two-cohort, single-arm, open-label, phase 2 study, we enrolled patients with soft-tissue sarcoma or bone sarcoma from 12 academic centres in the USA that were members of the Sarcoma Alliance for Research through Collaboration (SARC). Patients with soft-tissue sarcoma had to be aged 18 years or older to enrol; patients with bone sarcoma could enrol if they were aged 12 years or older. Patients had histological evidence of metastatic or surgically unresectable locally advanced sarcoma, had received up to three previous lines of systemic anticancer therapy, had at least one measurable lesion according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1, and had at least one lesion accessible for biopsy. All patients were treated with 200 mg intravenous pembrolizumab every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response. Patients who received at least one dose of pembrolizumab were included in the safety analysis and patients who progressed or reached at least one scan assessment were included in the activity analysis. Accrual is ongoing in some disease cohorts. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02301039. FINDINGS Between March 13, 2015, and Feb 18, 2016, we enrolled 86 patients, 84 of whom received pembrolizumab (42 in each disease cohort) and 80 of whom were evaluable for response (40 in each disease cohort). Median follow-up was 17·8 months (IQR 12·3-19·3). Seven (18%) of 40 patients with soft-tissue sarcoma had an objective response, including four (40%) of ten patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, two (20%) of ten patients with liposarcoma, and one (10%) of ten patients with synovial sarcoma. No patients with leiomyosarcoma (n=10) had an objective response. Two (5%) of 40 patients with bone sarcoma had an objective response, including one (5%) of 22 patients with osteosarcoma and one (20%) of five patients with chondrosarcoma. None of the 13 patients with Ewing's sarcoma had an objective response. The most frequent grade 3 or worse adverse events were anaemia (six [14%]), decreased lymphocyte count (five [12%]), prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (four [10%]), and decreased platelet count (three [7%]) in the bone sarcoma group, and anaemia, decreased lymphocyte count, and prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time in the soft-tissue sarcoma group (three [7%] each). Nine (11%) patients (five [12%] in the bone sarcoma group and four [10%] in the soft-tissue sarcoma group) had treatment-emergent serious adverse events (SAEs), five of whom had immune-related SAEs, including two with adrenal insufficiency, two with pneumonitis, and one with nephritis. INTERPRETATION The primary endpoint of overall response was not met for either cohort. However, pembrolizumab showed encouraging activity in patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma or dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Enrolment to expanded cohorts of those subtypes is ongoing to confirm and characterise the activity of pembrolizumab.

Abstract
11008 Background: SARC028 is the first multicenter Phase II study of P monotherapy in patients (pts) with STS and BS. Designed to detect clinical efficacy signals in multiple histologies, the study collected blood & tissue samples on all pts. We report extended clinical follow-up and in-depth biomarker correlates of response. Methods: The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints were safety, 12 wk progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). The STS arm had 10 pts in each of 4 cohorts: undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS), synovial sarcoma (SS) and leiomyosarcoma (LMS). The BS arm included 40 pts with osteosarcoma (OS), Ewing sarcoma (ES) or dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (CS). Pre- and on-P biopsies were required as well as blood at multiple time points. Tumor was assessed for PD-L1 expression (clone 22C3) and immune infiltrates by multi-color IHC (Vectra). Ongoing analyses include circulating cytokine and checkpoint levels and exome (DNA), transcriptome (RNA), and T-cell receptor (TCR) sequencing. Results: 86 pts were enrolled, 80 were evaluable for response. For STS, median follow-up was 14.5 months. The ORR in the overall STS cohort was 18% and the 12-wk PFS 55% [95% CI, 42-71]). Clinical activity was variable by histologic subtype with 40% ORR in UPS (1 CR and 3PR out of 10 evaluable pts), 2 PR/10 were seen in DDLPS, 1PR/10 in SS and 0/10 in LMS. For BS, median follow-up was 12.3 months (ORR 5%; 12-wk PFS 28% [95% CI, 14-41]), with 1PR/22 OS, 1PR/5 CS and 0/13 ES. 70 pre-P tissues were analyzed (11 excluded for insufficiency), with PD-L1+ in 3/70 (4%); all 3 were UPS. Of the 2 evaluable pts, 1 had CR and 1 PR. 2 OS were PD-L1+ on multi-color IHC, 1 had PR. All PD-L1+ samples had CD8+ T-cell infiltration. There were no post-P PD-L1+ samples. Conclusions: P has clinical activity in UPS and LPS, and expansion cohorts in those subtypes are planned. Pre-treatment PD-L1 expression was infrequent, but correlated with T-cell infiltration and response in UPS & OS. Ongoing biomarker analyses that may guide combination strategies are ongoing and will be presented at the meeting. Clinical trial information: NCT02301039.

Abstract
11005 Background: Pazopanib is approved for soft tissue sarcoma pts after failure of other therapy, but there are few subtype-specific data regarding kinase inhibitor activity. We report on a single arm, phase II trial of REGO in advanced EWS. Methods: EWS pts (age > 18, ECOG 0-2, good organ function) who had at least 1 line of therapy and had PD within 6 mo were eligible. Prior oral kinase inhibitors were not allowed. Initial REGO dose was 160 mg PO QD x21 q28d. Dose reductions were employed for toxicity and AEs. The primary endpoint was PFS at 8 weeks (PFS8w) employing RECIST 1.1. Sample size of 30 allowed determination of the difference between PFS8w of 50% vs 25% with alpha = 0.05 and power of 91%. Results: 30 pts (median age 32, range 19-65; M/F = 20/10; ECOG 0/1/2 = 16/13/1; bone, 12; soft tissue, 18; median prior treatments 5, range 1-10) enrolled at 14 US sites (09/2014-03/2016). Most common grade (G3) toxicities were hypophosphatemia (6), hypertension (2), high ALT (2) and 1 each: fatigue, abd pain, diarrhea, hypokalemia, oral mucositis, neutropenia and rash; no G4 toxicities were noted. 13 pts required ≥1 dose reduction, most commonly hypophosphatemia (n = 7); 2 stopped REGO for toxicity. There was 1 death in the 30 day post study period, not REGO related. Median dose at study end: 140 mg (3.5 tabs, range 80-160 mg) 3 wks on/1wk off. 18/30 pts were without PD at 8 wks. Median PFS: 3.6 mo (95%CI 2.8-3.8 mo). PFS8w by KM was 73% (95%CI 57-89%). Best responses: PR/SD/PD/not evaluable of 3/18/7/2, for RECIST RR 10%. Two pts with PR had EWSR1 translocation by FISH; a third had CIC-DUX4. Median duration of response: 5.5 mo (95%CI 2.9-8.0). Median OS is not reached. Conclusions: The substudy met its primary endpoint. REGO toxicity was similar to that seen previously. Enrollment continues in LPS and OGS cohorts, and is being expanded to further study variant EWS without EWSR1-FLI1 fusion. Study of the existing tissue may elucidate which EWS patients may benefit from REGO. Clinical trial information: NCT02048371.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Revisions to the TNM stage classifications for lung cancer, informed by the international database (N = 94,708) of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee, need external validation. The objective was to externally validate the revisions by using the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) of the American College of Surgeons. METHODS Cases presenting from 2000 through 2012 were drawn from the NCDB and reclassified according to the eighth edition stage classification. Clinically and pathologically staged subsets of NSCLC were analyzed separately. The T, N, and overall TNM classifications were evaluated according to clinical, pathologic, and "best" stage (N = 780,294). Multivariate analyses were carried out to adjust for various confounding factors. A combined analysis of the NSCLC cases from both databases was performed to explore differences in overall survival prognosis between the two databases. RESULTS The databases differed in terms of key factors related to data source. Survival was greater in the IASLC database for all stage categories. However, the eighth edition TNM stage classification system demonstrated consistent ability to discriminate TNM categories and stage groups for clinical and pathologic stage. CONCLUSIONS The IASLC revisions made for the eighth edition of lung cancer staging are validated by this analysis of the NCDB database by the ordering, statistical differences, and homogeneity within stage groups and by the consistency within analyses of specific cohorts.

359 Background: GA, FOLFIRINOX and FOLFIRI are standard chemotherapy (CTX) regimens for mPC.The optimal introduction of these regimens following GA is not known. This phase II study evaluated 2 different approaches to this question. Methods: Eligibility criteria included 1) untreated mPC, 2) ECOG PS 0/1, 3) organ function adequate for Rx. Patients (pts) were treated according to one of 2 methods following GA given per standard dose/schedule: FOLFIRINOX (bolus 5-FU omitted) for up to 12 cycles at 24 weeks or at time of disease progression (S); or GA alternating with FOLFIRI q8 weeks up to 48 weeks total Rx (A). Results: 54 evaluable pts (28S, 26A) were enrolled . Pt characteristics included median age 65, M/F 48/52% , liver involvement 89%. 17/53 pts (31%) did not achieve disease control at 8 weeks (8 toxicity/complications , 6 disease progression, 3 declined further protocol therapy). Of the remaining 37 pts, 24/13 were treated with S/A regimens, respectively. Grade ≥ 3 treatment toxicities reported while on study with frequency ≥ 10% included anemia 21%, neutropenia 43%, thrombocytopenia 15%, and fatigue 22%. Grade ≥ 3 neuropathy occurred in 8% of pts. For all 54 pts using RECIST 1.0, CR/PR/SD/DC was 2 (4%)/20 (37%)/19 (35%)/41(76%). Ca19.9 response ≥ 90% was seen in 20/37 (54%). For all pts, median OS was 12.3 months ( 95% CI 8.6-14.5 mo); 12 and 24 mo OS was 51% and 11%, respectively. For the 37 pts with DC on GA at 8 weeks (calculated from start Rx) median OS was 13.5 mo (95% CI 10.7-15.4 mo); 12 and 24 mo OS was 55% and 16% , respectively. No statistically significant differences were seen between S and A with respect to toxicity, response or survival. Conclusions: 1) As opposed to introduction of 5FU-based CTX at the time of disease progression/prohibitive toxicity, introduction prior to that time may be at least comparable regarding both toxicity and OS. 2) This approach may further enhance OS in pts who achieve DC on GA at 8 weeks. 3) Neither S nor A method of 5FU-based CTX introduction following GA was clearly superior in this study. 4) How best to combine 5FU-based combination CTX following GA in mPC merits further study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite the rapidly increasing use of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) -positron emission tomography (PET), the comparison of anatomic and functional imaging in the assessment of clinical outcomes has been lacking. In addition, there has not been a rigorous evaluation of how common radiologic criteria or the location of the radiology reader (local v central) compare in the ability to predict benefit. In this study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of various radiologic response assessments for the prediction of overall survival (OS) within the same data set of patients with sarcoma. METHODS We analyzed assessments made during a clinical trial of a novel IGF1R antibody in Ewing sarcoma: PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST) for functional imaging and WHO criteria (performed locally and centrally), RECIST, and volumetric analysis for anatomic imaging. We compared the effectiveness of the various criteria for the prediction of progression and survival. RESULTS For volume analysis, progression-defined as cumulative lesion volume increase of 100% at 6 weeks-was the optimal cutoff for decreased OS (P < .001). Assessment of the day-9 FDG-PET scan was associated with reduced OS in progressors compared with nonprogressors (P = .001) and with improved OS in responders compared with nonresponders. Significant variations in response (18% to 44%) and progression (9% to 50%) were observed between the different criteria. The comparison of central and local interpretation of anatomic imaging produced similar outcomes. PET was superior to anatomic imaging in identification of a response. Volume analysis identified the most responders among the anatomic imaging criteria. CONCLUSION An early signal with FDG-PET on day 9 and volume analysis were the best predictors of benefit. Validation of the volumetric analysis is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS), chondrosarcoma (CS), chordoma, epithelioid sarcoma, and solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) are malignant tumors that are relatively resistant to chemotherapy and for which more effective drug therapy is needed. METHODS The 5 listed subtypes were enrolled into a single indolent sarcoma cohort in a phase 2 study of dasatinib using a Bayesian continuous monitoring rule for enrollment. The primary objective was to estimate the 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate according to the Choi criteria with a target of ≥50%. Cross-sectional imaging was performed before the start of treatment, every 2 months for 6 months, and then every 3 months during treatment. The 2- and 5-year survival rates were determined. RESULTS One hundred sixteen patients were enrolled within 45 months, and 109 began treatment with dasatinib. The 6-month PFS rate and the median PFS were 48% and 5.8 months, respectively. The PFS rate at 6 months was highest with ASPS (62%) and lowest with SFT (30%). More than 10% of the patients with ASPS, CS, or chordoma had stable disease for more than 1 year. Collectively, for all 5 subtypes, the 2- and 5-year overall survival rates were 44% and 13%, respectively. An objective response was observed in 18% of the patients with CS or chordoma. CONCLUSIONS Dasatinib failed to achieve control of sarcoma growth for at least 6 months in more than 50% of the patients in this trial according to the Choi tumor response criteria. An objective tumor response and prolonged stable disease was observed in >10% of patients with CS or chordoma. Cancer 2017;90-97. © 2016 American Cancer Society.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The M component and TNM stage groupings for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) have been empirical. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer developed a multinational database to propose evidence-based revisions for the eighth edition of the TNM classification of MPM. METHODS Data from 29 centers were submitted either electronically or by transfer of existing institutional databases. The M component as it currently stands was validated by confirming sufficient discrimination (by Kaplan-Meier analysis) with respect to overall survival (OS) between the clinical M0 (cM0) and cM1 categories. Candidate stage groups were developed by using a recursive partitioning and amalgamation algorithm applied to all cM0 cases. RESULTS Of 3519 submitted cases, 2414 were analyzable and 84 were cM1 cases. Median OS for cM1 cases was 9.7 months versus 13.4 months (p = 0.0013) for the locally advanced (T4 or N3) cM0 cases, supporting inclusion of only cM1 in the stage IV group. Exploratory analyses suggest a possible difference in OS for single- versus multiple-site cM1 cases. A recursive partitioning and amalgamation-generated survival tree on the OS outcomes restricted to cM0 cases with the newly proposed (eighth edition) T and N components indicates that optimal stage groupings for the eighth edition will be as follows: stage IA (T1N0), stage IB (T2-3N0), stage II (T1-2N1), stage IIIA (T3N1), stage IIIB (T1-3N2 or any T4), and stage IV (any M1). CONCLUSIONS This first evidence-based revision of the TNM classification for MPM leads to substantial changes in the T and N components and the stage groupings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The current T component for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has been predominantly informed by surgical data sets and consensus. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer undertook revision of the seventh edition of the staging system for MPM with the goal of developing recommendations for the eighth edition. METHODS Data elements including detailed T descriptors were developed by consensus. Tumor thickness at three pleural levels was also recorded. An electronic data capture system was established to facilitate data submission. RESULTS A total of 3519 cases were submitted to the database. Of those eligible for T-component analysis, 509 cases had only clinical staging, 836 cases had only surgical staging, and 642 cases had both available. Survival was examined for T categories according to the current seventh edition staging system. There was clear separation between all clinically staged categories except T1a versus T1b (hazard ratio = 0.99, p = 0.95) and T3 versus T4 (hazard ratio = 1.22, p = 0.09), although the numbers of T4 cases were small. Pathological staging failed to demonstrate a survival difference between adjacent categories with the exception of T3 versus T4. Performance improved with collapse of T1a and T1b into a single T1 category; no current descriptors were shifted or eliminated. Tumor thickness and nodular or rindlike morphology were significantly associated with survival. CONCLUSIONS A recommendation to collapse both clinical and pathological T1a and T1b into a T1 classification will be made for the eighth edition staging system. Simple measurement of pleural thickness has prognostic significance and should be examined further with a view to incorporation into future staging.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Stage classification provides a consistent language to describe the anatomic extent of disease and is therefore a critical tool in caring for patients. The Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer developed proposals for revision of the classification of lung cancer for the eighth edition of the tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) classification, which takes effect in 2017. METHODS An international database of 94,708 patients with lung cancer diagnosed in 1999-2010 was assembled. This article describes the process and statistical methods used to refine the lung cancer stage classification. RESULTS Extensive analysis allowed definition of tumor, node, and metastasis categories and stage groupings that demonstrated consistent discrimination overall and within multiple different patient cohorts (e.g., clinical or pathologic stage, R0 or R-any resection status, geographic region). Additional analyses provided evidence of applicability over time, across a spectrum of geographic regions, histologic types, evaluative approaches, and follow-up intervals. CONCLUSIONS An extensive analysis has produced stage classification proposals for lung cancer with a robust degree of discriminatory consistency and general applicability. Nevertheless, external validation is encouraged to identify areas of strength and weakness; a sound validation should have discriminatory ability and be based on an independent data set of adequate size and sufficient follow-up with enough patients for each subgroup.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic and predictive value of early quantitative (18)F-FDG PET to monitor therapy with an antibody to the insulinlike growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R antibody) in patients with Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT). METHODS (18)F-FDG PET images at baseline and approximately 9 d after initiation of IGF-1R antibody therapy in 115 patients with refractory or relapsed ESFT were prospectively obtained as part of the Sarcoma Alliance for Research through Collaboration trial. Responses were centrally evaluated by PERCIST 1.0 in 93 patients. The 9-d PET responses were correlated to overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and clinical benefit after 6 wk of therapy based on clinical observation and CT response by World Health Organization anatomic criteria. RESULTS The median OS was 8.1 mo (95% confidence interval, 6.4-10.0 mo). When PERCIST was used, patients with progressive metabolic disease showed shorter OS (median, 4.7 mo) than patients without progression (median, 10.0 mo; P = 0.001). Progressive metabolic disease on day-9 PET was associated with a significantly higher risk of death (hazard ratio, 2.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-5.5). Changes in (18)F-FDG uptake after 9 d of therapy had an area under the curve of receiver-operating characteristic of 0.71 to predict 1-y OS. The area under the curve was 0.63 to predict progression at 3 mo and 0.79 to predict clinical benefit after 6 wk of therapy. CONCLUSION Treatment response by quantitative (18)F-FDG PET assessed by PERCIST 1.0 as early as 9 d into IGF-1R antibody therapy in patients with ESFT can predict the OS, PFS, and clinical response to therapy.

Abstract
The IASLC Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee has collected a new database of 94,708 cases donated from 35 sources in 16 countries around the globe. This has now been analysed by our statistical partners at Cancer Research And Biostatistics and, in close collaboration with the members of the committee proposals have been developed for the T, N, and M categories of the 8th edition of the TNM Classification for lung cancer due to be published late 2016. In this publication we describe the methods used to evaluate the resultant Stage groupings and the proposals put forward for the 8th edition.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is commonly classified as either limited or extensive, but the Union for International Cancer Control TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours seventh edition (2009) recommended tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) staging based on analysis of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) database. METHODS Survival analyses were performed for clinically and pathologically staged patients presenting with SCLC from 1999 through 2010. Prognosis was compared in relation to the TNM seventh edition staging to serve as validation and analyzed in relation to proposed changes to the T descriptors found in the eighth edition. RESULTS There were 5002 patients: 4848 patients with clinical and 582 with pathological stages. Among these, 428 had both. Survival differences were confirmed for T and N categories and maintained in relation to proposed revisions to T descriptors for seventh edition TNM categories and proposed changes in the eighth edition. There were also survival differences, notably at 12 months, in patients with brain-only single-site metastasis (SSM) compared to SSM at other sites, and SSM without a pleural effusion showed a better prognosis than other patients in the M1b category. CONCLUSION We confirm the prognostic value of clinical and pathological TNM staging in patients with SCLC, and recommend continued usage for SCLC in relation to proposed changes to T, N, and M descriptors for NSCLC in the eighth edition. However, for M descriptors, it remains uncertain whether survival differences in patients with SSM in the brain simply reflect better treatment options rather than better survival based on anatomic extent of disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Vatalanib (PTK 787/ZK22584) is an oral poly-tyrosine kinase inhibitor with strong affinity for platelet-derived growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors. We conducted an open-label, phase II multicenter therapeutic trial investigating the efficacy and tolerability of vatalanib in patients with metastatic or advanced pancreatic cancer who failed first-line gemcitabine-based therapy. METHODS Vatalanib treatment consisted of a twice daily oral dosing using a "ramp-up schedule," beginning with 250 mg bid during week 1,500 mg bid during week 2, and 750 mg bid on week three and thereafter. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the 6-month survival rate. RESULTS Sixty-seven patients were enrolled. The median age was 64, and 66% (N = 43) had only one prior regimen. Common grade 3/4 adverse events included hypertension (20%; N = 13), fatigue (17%; N = 11), abdominal pain (17%; N = 11), and elevated alkaline phosphatase (15%; N = 10). Among the 65 evaluable patients, the 6-month survival rate was 29% (95% CI 18-41%) and the median progression-free survival was 2 months. Fifteen patients survived 6 months or more. Two patients had objective partial responses, and 28% of patients had stable disease. Changes in biomarkers including soluble VEGF and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor did not correlate with response to drug. CONCLUSION Vatalanib was well tolerated as a second-line therapy and resulted in favorable 6-month survival rate in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, compared with historic controls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is implicated in the pathogenesis of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), osteosarcoma (OS), and synovial sarcoma (SS). The authors conducted a multi-institutional phase 2 trial of the monoclonal antibody R1507 in patients with various subtypes of recurrent or refractory sarcomas. METHODS Eligibility criteria included age ≥ 2 years and a diagnosis of recurrent or refractory RMS, OS, SS, and other soft tissue sarcomas. Patients received a weekly dose of 9 mg/kg R1507 intravenously. The primary endpoint was the best objective response rate using World Health Organization criteria. Tumor imaging was performed every 6 weeks × 4 and every 12 weeks thereafter. RESULTS From December 2007 through August 2009, 163 eligible patients from 33 institutions were enrolled. The median patient age was 31 years (range, 7-85 years). Histologic diagnoses included OS (n = 38), RMS (n = 36), SS (n = 23), and other sarcomas (n = 66). The overall objective response rate was 2.5% (95% confidence interval, 0.7%-6.2%). Partial responses were observed in 4 patients, including 2 patients with OS, 1 patient with RMS, and 1 patient with alveolar soft part sarcoma. Four additional patients (3 with RMS and 1 with myxoid liposarcoma) had a ≥ 50% decrease in tumor size that lasted for <4 weeks. The median progression-free survival was 5.7 weeks, and the median overall survival was 11 months. The most common grade 3/4 toxicities were metabolic (12%), hematologic (6%), gastrointestinal (4%), and general constitutional symptoms (8%). CONCLUSIONS R1507 is safe and well tolerated but has limited activity in patients with recurrent or refractory bone and soft tissue sarcomas. Additional studies to help identify the predictive factors associated with clinical benefit in selected histologies such as RMS appear to be warranted.

Abstract
257 Background: The Hh pathway is overexpressed in PDA tumors. Pre-clinically, Hh inhibitors have demonstrated a reduction in pancreatic cancer stem cells (pCSC) and stroma. Vismodegib, an oral small-molecule antagonist of the Hh pathway, has previously been safely combined with Gemcitabine chemotherapy. Methods: Pts with untreated, metastatic PDA were treated with Gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) + nab-P (125 mg/m2) on days 1, 8 and 15 of 28 days cycle. Vismodegib (150mg PO daily) was started on the second cycle. All drugs were continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), response rate (RR), and toxicity. Pre and post treatment tumor biopsies were obtained from primary or metastatic lesions. Results: 59 patients have been enrolled at 3 sites. Median age 60 (range 42-86); ECOG PS 0/1: 23 (40%)/ 34 (60%); male/female 32 (54%)/ 27 (46%). Estimated median PFS and OS in ITT population was 5.5 and 10 mo respectively (95% CI: 5.2-5.9 / 7.3-11). Of the 49 pts evaluable for response to date, 1 (2%) had CR, 20 (41%) had PR, 21 (43%) had SD and 7 (14%) had PD. Common Gr ≥3 toxicities: neutropenia 37.5% (n=21), anemia 21.4% (n=12), neuropathy 16.1% (n=9) and fatigue 9.4% (n=5). All patients with partial response had response within the primary pancreatic tumor. CA19-9 declines of >70% occurred in 57% of patients with measurable levels. Conclusions: Addition of Vismodegib to Gemcitabine/nab-P is well tolerated in patients with untreated PDA. This trial is ongoing to complete 80 patients. Blood and tumor tissue biomarker analyses for stem cells, Hh signaling and stromal activity are ongoing and will be reported in ASCO GI 2014. Clinical trial information: NCT01088815.

Abstract
This phase II study to determine the safety and efficacy of denileukin diftitox (DD) and cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP) enrolled patients with newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Forty-nine received DD 18 μg/kg/day (days 1, 2) with CHOP (day 3) every 21 days for ≤ 6-8 cycles. Intent-to-treat (ITT) and safety populations comprised all patients. In the ITT population, the overall response rate was 65%, median duration of response was 30 months and median progression-free survival was 12 months. Median overall survival was not attained at the end of the study, and the overall survival rate was 63.3%. The two most frequent treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were fatigue and nausea. Most frequent AEs ≥ grade 3 within the hematologic system were lymphopenia (24.5%), neutropenia (20.4%) and leukopenia (18.4%). Three treatment-related deaths occurred. DD plus CHOP was well tolerated, and progression-free and overall survival improved versus historical comparison with CHOP alone. Confirmation in larger trials is warranted.

Abstract
Few studies have evaluated prognostic factors among patients with multiple myeloma (MM) since new therapies have become available. Monthly zoledronic acid (ZOL) has been incorporated into many treatment regimens to reduce skeletal-related events (SREs), but outcomes among patients receiving this bisphosphonate have not been well-defined. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine baseline and on-treatment prognostic factors in these patients. Data were collected from the date of diagnosis on 300 consecutive MM patients treated with ZOL. Median duration of ZOL was 18 months (range 1-121 months). The skeletal morbidity rate was 0.116 events per patient year. Five-year overall survival (OS) was 69%. Risk factors for shortened OS included SREs, increased serum creatinine, and International Staging System (ISS) Stage II or III. Thirty-four (11%) patients showed worsening renal function. In 28 of these patients, ZOL was discontinued and restarted in half of these patients following a brief delay. Only 5 of the 34 patients showed worsening of their renal function. Fourteen patients (4.7%) developed osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). All patients with ONJ are in remission or with stable disease except one patient who died of a myocardial infarction while in remission. Only two patients showed some worsening of ONJ despite of ongoing monthly ZOL. Overall, these results suggest that skeletal complications are an important prognostic factor for MM. Although ONJ and renal deterioration may infrequently occur with ZOL, most patients do not experience worsening of these conditions with ongoing treatment with this bisphosphonate.

Abstract
The Southwest Oncology Group conducted a randomized trial comparing lenalidomide (LEN) plus dexamethasone (DEX; n = 97) to placebo (PLC) plus DEX (n = 95) in newly diagnosed myeloma. Three 35-day induction cycles applied DEX 40 mg/day on days 1 to 4, 9 to 12, and 17 to 20 together with LEN 25 mg/day for 28 days or PLC. Monthly maintenance used DEX 40 mg/day on days 1 to 4 and 15 to 18 along with LEN 25 mg/day for 21 days or PLC. Crossover from PLC-DEX to LEN-DEX was encouraged on progression. One-year progression-free survival, overall response rate, and very good partial response rate were superior with LEN-DEX (78% vs 52%, P = .002; 78% vs 48%, P < .001; 63% vs 16%, P < .001), whereas 1-year overall survival was similar (94% vs 88%; P = .25). Toxicities were more pronounced with LEN-DEX (neutropenia grade 3 or 4: 21% vs 5%, P < .001; thromboembolic events despite aspirin prophylaxis: 23.5% [initial LEN-DEX or crossover] vs 5%; P < .001). This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00064038.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) survival plots usually display steeper initial and shallower subsequent slopes reflecting differences in disease biology and likely prognostic factors (PF). S9321 trial was selected to determine PF operative at baseline and subsequent 3, 4, 5, and 7-year landmarks (LM-0, LM-3, LM-4, LM-5, and LM-7). With a median follow-up of 8.2 years, survival was similar in transplant and standard therapy arms, justifying data pooling. Median survival for 775 eligible patients is 48 months. According to proportional hazards models, seven of 12 investigated baseline variables retained independent significance for LM-0, of which only two (beta-2-microglobulin and age) extended out to LM-7; the remaining five comprised features of disease aggressiveness (lactate dehydrogenase, calcium, platelet count, C-reactive protein) and host co-morbidity (performance status). Our observations of LM dependency of PF can be exploited toward advancing myeloma therapy by stratifying patients according to whether early or late portions of the survival history are being targeted.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the impact of age on outcome and to analyze the projected years of life lost in patients with multiple myeloma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ten thousand five hundred forty-nine patients were evaluated; 6,996 patients were treated with conventional chemotherapy, and 3,553 patients were treated with high-dose therapy with autologous stem-cell transplantation. RESULTS Mean observed and relative overall survival times in the entire cohort were 3.7 and 3.9 years, respectively. Observed survival decreased steadily from 6.4 years in patients younger than age 50 years to 2.5 years in patients > or = age 80 years. A similar decrease was noted for relative survival. Higher age correlated significantly with higher International Staging System (ISS) stage. Relative excess risk of death differed significantly between 10-year age cohorts beginning from age 40 years (P < .001 for age 50 to 59 v age 40 to 49, P < .001 for age 60 to 69 v age 50 to 59, P < .001 for age 70 to 79 v age 60 to 69, and P = .009 for age > or = 80 v 70 to 79). The average years of life lost per patient was 16.8 years in the entire patient cohort and decreased steadily from 36.1 years in patients younger than 40 years old to 4.6 years in patients > or = age 80 years. CONCLUSION Age is associated with higher ISS stage and is an important risk factor for early mortality. Survival declined continuously by each decade from age 50 to age > or = 80 from more than 6 to less than 3 years. The average of years of life lost in patients with myeloma is higher than in many other cancers and amounts to more than 30 years in patients younger than 40 years old but decreases to less than 5 years in patients age 80 years or older.

Abstract
PURPOSE Thalidomide-dexamethasone (THAL-DEX) is standard induction therapy for multiple myeloma (MM). Tandem melphalan-based transplantations have yielded superior results to single transplantations. Phase II trial S0204 was designed to improve survival results reported for the predecessor, phase III trial S9321 by 50%. PATIENTS AND METHODS Newly diagnosed patients with MM were eligible for S0204 with THAL-DEX induction, tandem melphalan-based tandem transplantation, and THAL-prednisone maintenance. Results Of 143 eligible patients, 142 started induction, 73% completed first transplantation, 58% completed second transplantation, and 56% started maintenance. The quantity of stem cells required for two transplantations was reached in 88% of 111 patients undergoing collection, 74% of whom completed both transplantations. Partial response, very good partial remission, and complete response were documented after 12 months of maintenance therapy in 87%, 72%, and 22% of patients, respectively. During a median follow-up time of 37 months, 4-year estimates of event-free and overall survival were 50% and 64%, respectively. Survival outcomes were superior for International Staging System (ISS) stage 1 disease, when lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were normal and a second transplantation was applied in a timely fashion. CONCLUSION Both overall survival (P = .0002) and event-free survival (P < .0001) were significantly improved with S0204 compared with S9321 when 121 and 363 patients, respectively, were matched on ISS stage and LDH.

Abstract
e19517 Background: The multikinase inhibitor sorafenib targets several serine/threonine and receptor tyrosine kinases by blocking RAF kinase, a critical component of the RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway regulated by the Ras oncogene, which is mutated both in primary patient samples and in human MM lines (35–50%). As the frequency of these mutations increases with advancing disease and increasing drug resistance, inhibition of the RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway, as well the angiogenic VEGFR-2/PDGFR beta cascade by sorafenib may be a useful new approach for the treatment of MM. Methods: SWOG evaluated the effect of sorafenib as a single agent in relapsed/refractory MM patients. In this phase II study we assessed response rate, overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) as well as toxicities associated with this treatment. Twenty-three heavily pretreated MM patients were enrolled in the study. Sorafenib was started at oral dose of 400 mg daily until progression or toxicity. This dose was based on the label for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Results: The study was closed as planned due to lack of efficacy in first 18 patients who were assessable for toxicity and response. Three patients experienced Grade 4 toxicity consisting of thrombocytopenia, anemia and renal failure. 8 cases suffered Grade 3 toxicities including thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, anemia, hand-foot syndrome, diarrhea and dyspnea. No responses were observed. 3 patients had stable disease (2.4–15.9 months) and the remainder progressed. Median PFS is one month, and OS at 12 months is 50%. Conclusions: Thus, single agent sorafenib did not show activity in this group of heavily pretreated MM patients previously exposed to bortezomib. As the frequency of RAS oncogene mutations increases resulting in resistance to traditional chemotherapeutic agents as well as possibly supporting cytokine resistance to immune modulators, sorafenib might have a supportive role in combination therapy with bortezomib, lenalidomide or everolimus in relapsed/refractory MM which is currently being evaluated in ongoing studies. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
8599 Background: MM survival varies enormously from few months to more than a decade. Baseline prognostic factors (PF) have been identified that are linked to survival outcomes, especially B2M and albumin. MM survival plots are typically characterized by 3 segments of slopes with decreasing steepness, suggesting that different PF may govern these time segments. Methods: We therefore examined, in S9321, PF that were associated with overall survival (OS) from baseline (BL) and from 3 subsequent landmarks 3, 5, and 7 years later (LM3, LM5, LM7). With a median follow-up of 9 years, OS and EFS were virtually identical in transplant and standard therapy arms so that the data were pooled. Results: Median OS and EFS for 817 eligible patients are 48 and 22 months. The BL model identified age (>60yr), hemoglobin (<10g/gL), platelet count (<130,000/uL), albumin (<3.5g/dL), B2M (>3.5g/dL), calcium (>10mg/dL), creatinine (>2mg/dL), LDH (>190U/L), performance status (PS, >1), IL-6 level (>140mg/L) and plasma cell labeling index (PCLI, >1%) as being univariately associated with short OS, while age (p=0.002), platelet count (p=0.04), calcium (p<0.001), B2M (p=0.002), LDH (p=0.010) and PCLI (p<0.001) retained significance in multivariate analysis. For the LM3 analyses, age (p=0.006) and B2M (p=0.009) were independently associated with poor OS, whereas PCLI was the only PF associated with LM5 (p=0.026) and age with LM7 (p<0.001). While associated univariately with OS from BL, CRP, platelet count, hemoglobin, albumin, calcium, creatinine, LDH, IL6 and PS all failed to affect OS from later LM times. Conclusions: Whereas the initial 3 years of OS are governed by a combination of features related to disease aggressiveness (LDH, calcium, albumin, CRP), tumor burden (hemoglobin, platelet count) and host tolerance (PS, creatinine), B2M and PCLI as reflectors of tumor burden and proliferation have sustained long-term OS implications. The age factor figures in partly due to death from other causes. In an era of ever-improving survival outcomes, such LM-based PF analysis may reveal trial-specific differences and thus provide guidance toward individualizing therapy. [Table: see text]

Abstract
8522 Background: Clinical outcome in patients (pts) with asymptomatic plasma-proliferative disorders, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and asymptomatic myeloma (AMM), is highly variable. There is a need to identify specific tumor or host related features that predict the risk of disease progression. In prior studies, we have shown that patients with MGUS commonly mount a T cell immune response against SOX2, an antigen critical for pluripotency of ES cells. Methods: Patients with MGUS/AMM were enrolled in a prospective observational clinical protocol (SWOG S0120). All patients underwent detailed staging evaluation at registration and were observed without therapy. The presence of T cell immunity to SOX2 in freshly isolated blood / marrow mononuclear cells was analyzed using an overlapping peptide library at study entry. Results: Anti-SOX2 T cell responses were detected in 39/109 (36%) pts tested. Progression to symptomatic MM was observed in only 2 of 39 patients with anti-SOX2 immunity compared to 17 of 59 pts lacking these responses, resulting in 2-yr progression-free survival 96 v 63% (p=0.003). Responses to viral antigens and polyclonal mitogens as controls were preserved in patients lacking SOX2 immunity indicating that the absence of immunity to SOX2 was not due to global immune-suppression. Immunity to SOX2 correlated with features of lower risk including serum-M component < 1.5 g/dL (p=0.008), marrow plasmacytosis < 10% (p<0.001) and normal serum free light chain ratio (p=0.01). Conclusions: These data demonstrate in the context of a prospective trial that T cell immunity to stem cell genes strongly correlates with a reduced risk of progression to clinical myeloma. These data point to SOX2 as a potential target for the prevention of disease progression in MGUS/AMM. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this report, the authors describe their collective experience with melphalan-based autotransplants since the inception of their program at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in 1989. METHODS The authors evaluated the clinical outcomes of 3077 successive patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who underwent at least 1 melphalan-based autotransplantation at the University of Arkansas. Of these, 1078 patients were enrolled on front-line Total Therapy (TT) protocols (TT-P) TT1, TT2, and TT3; 1104 patients were entered on protocols for newly diagnosed or previously treated patients (non-TT-P); and 895 patients were treated off protocol (non-P). RESULTS The 10-year overall survival (OS) rates after first transplantation were 41%, 19%, and 11% (P< .001) for the TT-P, non-TT-P, and non-P groups, respectively. In the TT-P group, the median OS was 72 months on TT1, was not reached at >or= 7 years on TT2, and was 88% at 2 years on TT3. Among 2683 patients with complete baseline data, absence of hypodiploidy/chromosome 13 deletion, beta-(2)-microglobulin <3.0 mg/L, C-reactive protein <6 mg/L, albumin >or= 3.0 g/dL, and platelet count >or= 100,000/microL all were associated independently with superior OS (P< .001), event-free survival (P< .001), and duration of complete remission (P< .001). CONCLUSIONS The results from this large, single-institution experience demonstrated that >10-year OS was accomplished in >40% of all patients enrolled on TT-P, whereas such success was observed in only 15% of the remaining patients (including 25% in the presence of all 5 good-risk features). Superior outcomes with protocol-based, primary transplant regimens such as TT-P draw attention to the importance of applying the best available therapies upfront.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a cancer complication associated with poor survival. We have analyzed the prognostic impact of the development of a thrombotic episode in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients who received chemotherapy either with or without thalidomide on our Total Therapy 2 protocol. Of 668 patients enrolled, 155 developed VTE complication during treatment. The overall and event-free survival of patients who experienced VTE was not inferior. Of interest, we observed that patients who received intensive chemotherapy without thalidomide but developed a thrombosis experienced a significantly longer event-free survival compared with those without VTE (P = 0.02). Our observation suggests a possible beneficial effect of anticoagulation on survival in patients treated for myeloma.
