Abstract
OBJECTIVES To date, studies have not provided definitive answers regarding whether previous immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment alters outcomes for cancer patients with COVID-19. METHODS The OnCovid registry (NCT04393974) was searched from February 27, 2020, to January 31, 2022, for patients who received systemic anti-cancer therapy in the 4 weeks before laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis. Propensity-score matching using country, vaccination status, primary tumor type, sex, age, comorbidity burden, tumor stage, and remission status investigated differences in predefined clinical outcomes comparing those who had or had not received ICIs. RESULTS Of 3523 patients screened, 137 ICI-only and 1378 non-ICI met inclusion criteria. Before matching, ICI patients were older, male, enrolled at centers in Italy, and had histories of smoking, thoracic cancers, advanced cancer stages, and active malignancies (P ≤0.02). After matching, there were 120 ICI and 322 non-ICI patients. ICI patients had no differences (odds ratio: 95% CI) in presenting COVID-19 symptoms (0.69: 0.37-1.28), receipt of COVID-specific therapy (0.88: 0.54-1.41), 14-day (0.95: 0.56-1.61), or 28-day (0.79: 0.48-1.29) mortalities. However, ICI patients required less COVID-19-related hospitalization (0.37: 0.21-0.67) and oxygen therapy (0.51: 0.31-0.83) and developed fewer complications (0.57: 0.36-0.92). CONCLUSION In this propensity-score matched analysis, previous ICI therapy did not worsen and potentially improved COVID-19 outcomes in patients with cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment with CHOP-based chemotherapy with consolidative radiotherapy (CRT) for primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma (PMBCL) has been the standard approach in the pre-rituximab era. Overtreatment with CRT for patients who may have already been cured by primary immunochemotherapy in the rituximab era is a significant concern due to the long-term toxicity associated with radiotherapy. Positron emission tomography (PET) may help to identify patients who may not benefit from further CRT. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of patients treated at the Royal Marsden Hospital between 2003 and 2020 for PMBCL to assess CRT use and survival outcomes. RESULTS Forty-three patients were identified, with 95% of the patients receiving R-CHOP. CRT was given in 5 patients. Five-year event-free survival was 79% (95% confidence interval: 64%-89%) and 5-year overall survival was 88% (95% confidence interval: 73%-95%). Seven of 9 patients with DS4 did not receive CRT and instead monitored with serial PET scans. None of these 7 patients relapsed in the mediastinum. CONCLUSION CRT may be omitted in patients with a negative end of treatment PET scans; however, careful observation may also obviate the need for CRT in PET positive patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE CT900 is a novel small molecule thymidylate synthase inhibitor that binds to α-folate receptor (α-FR) and thus is selectively taken up by α-FR-overexpressing tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS A 3+3 dose escalation design was used. During dose escalation, CT900 doses of 1-6 mg/m2 weekly and 2-12 mg/m2 every 2 weeks (q2Wk) intravenously were evaluated. Patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer were enrolled in the expansion cohorts. RESULTS 109 patients were enrolled: 42 patients in the dose escalation and 67 patients in the expansion cohorts. At the dose/schedule of 12 mg/m2/q2Wk (with and without dexamethasone, n = 40), the most common treatment-related adverse events were fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, cough, anemia, and pneumonitis, which were predominantly grade 1 and grade 2. Levels of CT900 more than 600 nmol/L needed for growth inhibition in preclinical models were achieved for >65 hours at a dose of 12 mg/m2. In the expansion cohorts, the overall response rate (ORR), was 14/64 (21.9%). Thirty-eight response-evaluable patients in the expansion cohorts receiving 12 mg/m2/q2Wk had tumor evaluable for quantification of α-FR. Patients with high or medium expression had an objective response rate of 9/25 (36%) compared with 1/13 (7.7%) in patients with negative/very low or low expression of α-FR. CONCLUSIONS The dose of 12 mg/m2/q2Wk was declared the recommended phase II dose/schedule. At this dose/schedule, CT900 exhibited an acceptable side effect profile with clinical benefit in patients with high/medium α-FR expression and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the outcome of cancer patients undergoing systemic anti-cancer treatment (SACT) at our centre to help inform future clinical decision-making around SACT during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS Patients receiving at least one episode of SACT for solid tumours at Guy's Cancer Centre between 1 March and 31 May 2020 and the same period in 2019 were included in the study. Data were collected on demographics, tumour type/stage, treatment type (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biological-targeted) and SARS-CoV2 infection. RESULTS A total of 2120 patients received SACT in 2020, compared to 2449 in 2019 (13% decrease). From 2019 to 2020, there was an increase in stage IV disease (62% vs. 72%), decrease in chemotherapy (42% vs. 34%), increase in immunotherapy (6% vs. 10%), but similar rates of biologically targeted treatments (37% vs. 38%). There was a significant increase in 1st and 2nd line treatments in 2020 (68% vs. 81%; p < 0.0001) and reduction in 3rd and subsequent lines (26% vs. 15%; p = 0.004) compared to 2019. Of the 2020 cohort, 2% patients developed SARS-CoV2 infections. CONCLUSIONS These real-world data from a tertiary Cancer Centre suggest that despite the challenges faced due to the COVID-19 pandemic, SACT was able to be continued without any significant effects on the mortality of solid-tumour patients. There was a low rate (2%) of SARS-CoV-2 infection which is comparable to the 1.4%-point prevalence in our total cancer population.

Abstract
FOLFIRINOX, a combination of chemotherapy drugs (Fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin, Irinotecan -FOI), provides the best clinical benefit in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients. In this study we explore the role of miRNAs (MIR) as modulators of chemosensitivity to identify potential biomarkers of response. We find that 41 and 84 microRNA inhibitors enhance the sensitivity of Capan1 and MiaPaCa2 PDAC cells respectively. These include a MIR1307-inhibitor that we validate in further PDAC cell lines. Chemotherapy-induced apoptosis and DNA damage accumulation are higher in MIR1307 knock-out (MIR1307KO) versus control PDAC cells, while re-expression of MIR1307 in MIR1307KO cells rescues these effects. We identify binding of MIR1307 to CLIC5 mRNA through covalent ligation of endogenous Argonaute-bound RNAs cross-linking immunoprecipitation assay. We validate these findings in an in vivo model with MIR1307 disruption. In a pilot cohort of PDAC patients undergoing FOLFIRONX chemotherapy, circulating MIR1307 correlates with clinical outcome.

Abstract
e18797 Background: The COVID-19 pandemic was declared in the UK in February 2020, impacting significantly on healthcare. Delivery of systemic anti-cancer treatment (SACT) rapidly adapted to minimize patient exposure to SARS-CoV-2. The risks of SACT and concomitant COVID-19 infection are unknown. Here we report the patient/tumour characteristics of pts with any GYN cancer undergoing SACT during the first wave to understand risks of SACT and establish clinical guidelines for safe management in the ongoing SARS-CoV2 pandemic. Methods: Demographic and clinical characteristics of GYN cancer pts receiving at least one SACT between 1st March- 31st May 2020 (first wave COVID-19) were compared to the same three month timeframe in 2019. SARS-CoV2 infection was defined as a positive RT-PCR test for COVID-19. Pts with symptoms or radiological changes alone were not considered SARS-COV2 positive. As part of the Guy’s Cancer Cohort we collected information on age, ethnicity, performance status (PS), cancer type, stage (Stg), treatment (SACT, surgery, radiotherapy) and COVID-19 infection. Results: There were no COVID-19 related deaths. 1 pt (0.5%) had SACT delay due to confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Overall mortality at 6 months in each timeframe was 6.9% in 2020 and 8.1% in 2019. In the comparative 3-month intervals, similar numbers of GYN cancer pts received SACT in 2020 compared to 2019: 170 patients (126 ovarian; 44 non-ovarian) in 2020, 184 (131 ovarian; 53 non-ovarian) in 2019. Median age was 61y in both groups and BAME ethnicity was balanced. In 2020, more pts had Stg III/IV disease (93%) than 2019 (84%) and fewer had Stg I/II disease (7%) compared to 2019 (16%). PS was: 0-1 in 92% of patients in 2020 vs 85% in 2019. The average number of cycles of SACT delivered in each time frame was 3. In 2020 9% received neoadjuvant SACT of which 69% proceeded to planned surgery and 31% were deemed unfit. Comparatively, in 2019 7% received neoadjuvant SACT of whom 75% proceeded to surgery and 25% were deemed unfit. In 2020, 3 pt received chemoradiation compared to 8 in 2019. 40 of 170 pts (24%) had 1-5 week treatment delays in 2020 due to any aetiology with. In 2019 there were treatment delays in 63 of 184 pts (34%). The use of GCSF in support of all SACT regimens was 52% in 2020 vs 11% in 2019. Conclusions: There was no increase in mortality associated with SACT during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in GYN cancer pts. 0.5% of pts had confirmed SARS-COV2 infection. We were able to maintain full SACT delivery for all GYN cancer pts with average cycle number unchanged between 2019 and 2020. There was no significant reduction in surgical debulking rates. In contrast, there was a reduction in GYN cancer pts receiving chemoradiation. More pts presented with Stg III/IV disease in 2020. Increased use of GSCF may have contributed to the reduced chemotherapy delays in 2020. Further research will explore the impact of vaccination.

Abstract
3612 Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has hugely affected the spectrum of cancer care. Worldwide healthcare systems have rapidly reorganized cancer services to ensure patients continue to receive essential care whilst optimizing the use of systemic anti-cancer treatments (SACT) and minimizing exposure to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our study aimed to identify the outcome of patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancers in our Cancer Centre during the pandemic compared to the same period in 2019. Methods: Retrospective analysis of all GI patients receiving any SACT at Guy’s Cancer Centre from the 1 March-31 May 2020 and 2019. Demographic data (age, ethnicity, socio-economic status (SES), Performance status, cancer and SACT characteristics (type, intent and treatment-line) were collected during both periods. Also we collated the number of COVID-19 infections confirmed by PCR and severity defined by the WHO classification. Patients with clinical or radiological diagnosis were excluded. Results: 567 patients received SACT in 2019 and 417 patients in 2020 (26.4% less). No differences were observed in the demographic or tumour type characteristics. Commonest cancers in both periods were similar: colorectal (47.1, 47%), oesophago-gastric (29, 27.6%), pancreatic-biliary and NET tumours (23.8, 25.4%). However, there were a higher proportion of patients with advanced disease treated in 2020 (70.3% versus 55.2%). Treatment intent was similar in both years: radical (3.5 vs 3.8%), adjuvant (18.2% vs 17.3%), neoadjuvant (15.3% vs 12.7%) and palliative (63% vs 66.2%). There was an increase in the proportion of patients treated in the palliative first line setting (63.8% in 2020 vs 47.6% in 2019) and a reduction in the proportion of third or more treatment (8.7% versus 16.2%) mainly in the colorectal patients. Of 417 GI patients receiving SACT, 14 (3.35%) were diagnosed with COVID-19 infection. Of these, 64.3% were male, 92.9% were low SES and 35.7% were of Caucasian ethnicity. Colorectal cancer was the commonest (57.1%) tumour-type in the COVID-positive group and 57.1% had advanced disease. All the patients that died from COVID-19 were male. 13 patients were on chemotherapy and 1 was on targeted/biological treatment . None was in immunotherapy (n=4). Only one patient was neutropenic (grade 1). 8 patients (57.1%) had severe infection and there were 3 (21.4%) COVID-related deaths. Conclusions: Our study shows the delivery of SACT through the COVID-19 pandemic is relatively safe with low COVID-related mortality rate. It also reflects how we tailored the delivery of anti-cancer treatments to reduce the possible detrimental myelo-suppressive toxicities that could potentially put GI patients at higher risk of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. This is crucial data that can inform anti-cancer treatment decision making during the protracted COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Preclinical studies have demonstrated synergy between PARP and PI3K/AKT pathway inhibitors in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2)-deficient and BRCA1/2-proficient tumors. We conducted an investigator-initiated phase I trial utilizing a prospective intrapatient dose- escalation design to assess two schedules of capivasertib (AKT inhibitor) with olaparib (PARP inhibitor) in 64 patients with advanced solid tumors. Dose expansions enrolled germline BRCA1/2-mutant tumors, or BRCA1/2 wild-type cancers harboring somatic DNA damage response (DDR) or PI3K-AKT pathway alterations. The combination was well tolerated. Recommended phase II doses for the two schedules were: olaparib 300 mg twice a day with either capivasertib 400 mg twice a day 4 days on, 3 days off, or capivasertib 640 mg twice a day 2 days on, 5 days off. Pharmacokinetics were dose proportional. Pharmacodynamic studies confirmed phosphorylated (p) GSK3β suppression, increased pERK, and decreased BRCA1 expression. Twenty-five (44.6%) of 56 evaluable patients achieved clinical benefit (RECIST complete response/partial response or stable disease ≥ 4 months), including patients with tumors harboring germline BRCA1/2 mutations and BRCA1/2 wild-type cancers with or without DDR and PI3K-AKT pathway alterations. SIGNIFICANCE: In the first trial to combine PARP and AKT inhibitors, a prospective intrapatient dose- escalation design demonstrated safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic activity and assessed predictive biomarkers of response/resistance. Antitumor activity was observed in patients harboring tumors with germline BRCA1/2 mutations and BRCA1/2 wild-type cancers with or without somatic DDR and/or PI3K-AKT pathway alterations.This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 1426.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Changes in single microRNA (miRNA) expression have been associated with chemo-resistance in biliary tract cancers (BTCs). However, a global assessment of the dynamic role of the microRNome has never been performed to identify potential therapeutic targets that are functionally relevant in the BTC cell response to chemotherapy. APPROACH AND RESULTS High-throughput screening (HTS) of 997 locked nucleic acid miRNA inhibitors was performed in six cholangiocarcinoma cell lines treated with cisplatin and gemcitabine (CG) seeking changes in cell viability. Validation experiments were performed with mirVana probes. MicroRNA and gene expression was assessed by TaqMan assay, RNA-sequencing, and in situ hybridization in four independent cohorts of human BTCs. Knockout of microRNA was achieved by CRISPR-CAS9 in CCLP cells (MIR1249KO) and tested for effects on chemotherapy sensitivity in vitro and in vivo. HTS revealed that MIR1249 inhibition enhanced chemotherapy sensitivity across all cell lines. MIR1249 expression was increased in 41% of cases in human BTCs. In validation experiments, MIR1249 inhibition did not alter cell viability in untreated or dimethyl sulfoxide-treated cells; however, it did increase the CG effect. MIR1249 expression was increased in CD133+ biliary cancer cells freshly isolated from the stem cell niche of human BTCs as well as in CD133+ chemo-resistant CCLP cells. MIR1249 modulated the chemotherapy-induced enrichment of CD133+ cells by controlling their clonal expansion through the Wnt-regulator FZD8. MIR1249KO cells had impaired expansion of the CD133+ subclone and its enrichment after chemotherapy, reduced expression of cancer stem cell markers, and increased chemosensitivity. MIR1249KO xenograft BTC models showed tumor shrinkage after exposure to weekly CG, whereas wild-type models showed only stable disease over treatment. CONCLUSIONS MIR1249 mediates resistance to CG in BTCs and may be tested as a target for therapeutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway through loss of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) occurs in approximately 50% of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Recent evidence suggests that combined inhibition of the androgen receptor (AR) and AKT may be beneficial in mCRPC with PTEN loss. PATIENTS AND METHODS mCRPC patients who previously failed abiraterone and/or enzalutamide, received escalating doses of AZD5363 (capivasertib) starting at 320 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) given 4 days on and 3 days off, in combination with enzalutamide 160 mg daily. The co-primary endpoints were safety/tolerability and determining the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose; pharmacokinetics, antitumour activity, and exploratory biomarker analysis were also evaluated. RESULTS Sixteen patients were enrolled, 15 received study treatment and 13 were assessable for dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Patients were treated at 320, 400, and 480 mg b.i.d. dose levels of capivasertib. The recommended phase II dose identified for capivasertib was 400 mg b.i.d. with 1/6 patients experiencing a DLT (maculopapular rash) at this level. The most common grade ≥3 adverse events were hyperglycemia (26.7%) and rash (20%). Concomitant administration of enzalutamide significantly decreased plasma exposure of capivasertib, though this did not appear to impact pharmacodynamics. Three patients met the criteria for response (defined as prostate-specific antigen decline ≥50%, circulating tumour cell conversion, and/or radiological response). Responses were seen in patients with PTEN loss or activating mutations in AKT, low or absent AR-V7 expression, as well as those with an increase in phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) in post-exposure samples. CONCLUSIONS The combination of capivasertib and enzalutamide is tolerable and has antitumour activity, with all responding patients harbouring aberrations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER NCT02525068.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Xentuzumab, an insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1/IGF-2-neutralising antibody, binds IGF-1 and IGF-2, inhibiting their growth-promoting signalling. Two first-in-human trials assessed the maximum-tolerated/relevant biological dose (MTD/RBD), safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and activity of xentuzumab in advanced/metastatic solid cancers. METHODS These phase 1, open-label trials comprised dose-finding (part I; 3 + 3 design) and expansion cohorts (part II; selected tumours; RBD [weekly dosing]). Primary endpoints were MTD/RBD. RESULTS Study 1280.1 involved 61 patients (part I: xentuzumab 10-1800 mg weekly, n = 48; part II: 1000 mg weekly, n = 13); study 1280.2, 64 patients (part I: 10-3600 mg three-weekly, n = 33; part II: 1000 mg weekly, n = 31). One dose-limiting toxicity occurred; the MTD was not reached for either schedule. Adverse events were generally grade 1/2, mostly gastrointestinal. Xentuzumab showed dose-proportional pharmacokinetics. Total plasma IGF-1 increased dose dependently, plateauing at ~1000 mg/week; at ≥450 mg/week, IGF bioactivity was almost undetectable. Two partial responses occurred (poorly differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma and peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour). Integration of biomarker and response data by Bayesian Logistic Regression Modeling (BLRM) confirmed the RBD. CONCLUSIONS Xentuzumab was well tolerated; MTD was not reached. RBD was 1000 mg weekly, confirmed by BLRM. Xentuzumab showed preliminary anti-tumour activity. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT01403974; NCT01317420.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal cancers are very common cancers with colorectal being the fourth most common type, gastric the sixth, and esophageal the tenth. Although recent advances have been made in management including incorporation of antiangiogenic, anti-EGFR, and anti-HER2 directed therapies, overall their prognosis remains poor. Anti-PD-1 therapy with nivolumab and pembrolizumab are licensed for advanced chemorefractory gastroesophageal cancer and many other checkpoint inhibitor therapies are being assessed alone and in combination in these diseases. One of the challenges posed in assessing response to immunotherapy treatment is the phenomenon of pseudoprogression. This phenomenon, which is well described in patients with malignant melanoma is most frequently described as a size increase of contrast enhancing lesions or appearance of new lesions that stabilize or reduce in size with time. Most other solid tumors have a low incidence of pseudoprogression although cases have been reported for lung, head, and neck cancer and a range of gliomas. Herein we present 6 cases of patients with gastrointestinal cancers who were treated with anti-PD1 (programmed cell death) and anti-PD-L1 (programmed cell death ligand-1) antibodies, and experience pseudoprogression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary malignant brain tumours (PMBT) constitute less than 2% of all malignancies and carry a dismal prognosis. Treatment options at relapse are limited. First-in-human solid tumour studies have historically excluded patients with PMBT due to the poor prognosis, concomitant drug interactions and concerns regarding toxicities. METHODS Retrospective data were collected on clinical and tumour characteristics of patients referred for consideration of Ph1 trials in the Royal Marsden Hospital between June 2004 and August 2016. Survival analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, Cox proportional hazards model. Chi squared test was used to measure bivariate associations between categorical variables. RESULTS 100pts with advanced PMBT were referred. At initial consultation, patients had a median ECOG PS 1, median age 48 years (range 18-70); 69% were men, 76% had glioblastoma; 68% were on AEDs, 63% required steroid therapy; median number of prior treatments was two. Median OS for patients treated on a Ph1 trials was 9.3 months (95% CI 5.9-12.9) versus 5.3 months (95% CI 4.1-6.1) for patients that did not proceed with a Ph1 trial, p = 0.0094. Steroid use, poor PS, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and treatment on a Ph1 trial were shown to independently influence OS. CONCLUSIONS We report a survival benefit for patients with PMBT treated on Ph1 trials. Toxicity and efficacy outcomes were comparable to the general Ph1 population. In the absence of an internationally recognized standard second line treatment for patients with recurrent PMBT, more Ph1 trials should allow enrolment of patients with refractory PMBT and Ph1 trial participation should be considered at an earlier stage.

Abstract
2503 Background: ONX-0801 is a first-in-class alpha folate receptor (AFR) targeted thymidylate synthase inhibitor, engineered to differentially accumulate 6000-fold in AFR overexpressing cancer cells. Methods: A 3+3 dose escalation design was used and two IV schedules were explored. Schedule A, weekly dosing (QW) and schedule B, once every 2 weeks dosing (Q2W). A cycle consisted of 4 weeks and treatment was stopped after 6 cycles in both schedules. An expansion cohort to evaluate clinical activity in patients with AFR overexpressing high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) was planned. Results: 21 patients each were treated in schedule A and B exploring doses ranging from 1-6 mg/m2 and 2-12 mg/m2, respectively. The dose limiting toxicity on schedule A was G3 cellulitis; no dose limiting toxicity was seen on schedule B. The most common toxicities were fatigue 15/42 (36%), nausea 9/42 (21%) and dysgeusia 5/42 (12%). Within schedule A at 4 mg/m2, 2 patients developed suspected drug-related changes on pulmonary function tests (drop in Dlco > 15%) at cycles 5 and 6, respectively. No cases of suspected drug-related drop in Dlco were noted in patients treated in schedule B. No grade 3-4 diarrhea, mucositis or neutropenia were seen in either cohort. The Cmax, AUC and half-life at 12 mg/m2 were 4952 ng/mL, 85170 h*ng/mL and 26 h, respectively. Pre-clinical PK-PD modelling aimed to achieve concentrations between 0.05-1 µM and this was achieved for periods of 48 h at doses of 4 mg/m2and above. Based on safety and PK, the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of ONX-0801 was 12 mg/m2 Q2W and an expansion in patients with HGSOC is ongoing. 5 patients with HGSOC had partial responses (PRs) in the dose escalation cohort. In the current expansion cohort in patients with HGSOC, 5/11 patients had PRs. Archival samples have been analyzed from 8/11 patients in the expansion cohort. 4/4 AFR+ve and 4/4 AFR-ve patients did and did not have a PR following treatment with ONX-0801, respectively. Conclusions: The RP2D of ONX-0801 is 12 mg/m2 Q2W. At the RP2D, multiple patients with AFR overexpressing HGSOC have had PRs and further randomized biomarker prespecified phase II trials are warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT02360345.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously reported a prognostic score for patients in phase I trials in the Drug Development Unit, treated at the Royal Marsden Hospital (RPS). The RPS is an objective tool used in patient selection for phase I trials based on albumin, number of disease sites and LDH. Patients with mesothelioma are often selected for phase I trials as the disease remains localised for long periods of time. We have now reviewed the clinical outcomes of patients with relapsed malignant mesothelioma (MM) and propose a specific mesothelioma prognostic score (m-RPS) that can help identify patients who are most likely to benefit from early referral. METHODS Patients who participated in 38 phase I trials between September 2003 and November 2015 were included in the analysis. Efficacy was assessed by response rate, median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Univariate (UVA) and multivariate analyses (MVA) were carried out to develop the m-RPS. RESULTS A total of 65 patients with advanced MM were included in this retrospective study. The PFS was 2.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.0-3.1 months) and OS was 8 months (95% CI 5.6-9.8 months). A total of four (6%) patients had RECIST partial responses, whereas 26 (40%) patients had RECIST stable disease >3 months. The m-RPS was developed comprising of three different prognostic factors: a neutrophil: lymphocyte ratio greater than 3, the presence of more than two disease sites (including lymph nodes as a single site of disease) and albumin levels less than 35 from the MVA. Patients each received a score of 1 for the presence of each factor. Patients in group A (m-RPS 0-1; n = 35) had a median OS of 13.4 months (95% CI 8.5-21.6), whereas those in group B (m-RPS 2-3; n = 30) had a median OS of 4.0 months (95% CI 2.9-7.1, P < 0.0001). A total of 56 (86%) patients experienced G1-2 toxicities, whereas reversible G3-4 toxicities were observed in 18 (28%) patients. Only 10 (15%) patients discontinued phase I trials due to toxicity. CONCLUSIONS Phase I clinical trial therapies were well tolerated with early signals of antitumour activity in advanced MM patients. The m-RPS is a useful tool to assess MM patient suitability for phase I trials and should now be prospectively validated.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) plays a pivotal role in surgical planning for patients who are to undertake primary chemotherapy. As DCIS is not thought to be responsive to chemotherapy, many women with large primaries or extensive DCIS on initial diagnosis will be planned for and undergo mastectomy. To investigate the role of chemotherapy in invasive breast cancer with concomitant ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), we examined patients who had primary systemic therapy for a primary invasive cancer with either radiologically or histologically proven DCIS to see if there were patients in whom there was no evidence of DCIS at resection.
Methods
This was a retrospective single centre study. Examining the records of all patients who had received primary chemotherapy between January 2010 and October 2014.
Patients were identified through the Guy's breast cancer database and chemotherapy prescribing system. To fully assess the DCIS status, all patients were cross-referenced with the electronic notes on our electronic noting system (MOSAIQ), radiology on Patient Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and histology on our Electronic Patient Record (EPR).
Results
1526 patients were identified, of whom 156 underwent primary chemotherapy. Of these, 46 patients had a pre-chemotherapy biopsy confirming DCIS, of whom 30 also had radiological evidence of DCIS. A further 26 had micro-calcification on their initial imaging which was presumed to be DCIS.
Twelve of the 46 patients with biopsy proven DCIS at presentation did not have DCIS at resection. Of these 9 had a mastectomy, with 5 achieving a pathological complete response (pCR), of whom 4 had a complete radiological response (rCR).
Of the 26 who had micro-calcification pre-chemotherapy, 15 did not have DCIS in the resection specimen. Of these, 10 had a mastectomy, with 6 having a pCR of whom 3 also had rCR.
Conclusion
This retrospective study suggests that chemotherapy can influence DCIS, with 12 biopsy proven having a pCR post treatment. This may indicate that some patients may be spared mastectomy.
Although there were patients with radiological evidence of DCIS, without a confirmatory biopsy we cannot be sure that these were malignant. This highlights the need to ensure that all suspicious areas distant from the primary tumour should be biopsied before treatment.
In conclusion, for patients who have an excellent clinical and radiological response, even in the presence of DCIS at presentation, more intensive evaluation is indicated if conservative surgery is a possibility.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
For patients who receive primary chemotherapy for their early breast cancer the current practice for lymph node positive (LN) disease at presentation is in transition, with a drive towards sentinel LN biopsy (SLNB) rather than axillary node clearance (ANC) for patients who achieve a good response to primary chemotherapy. Boileau et al initially reported that approximately 30% of patients could potentially avoid clearance, but with a recommendation for further evaluation before including SLNB in guidelines for biopsy proven node-positive disease prior to primary chemotherapy for early breast cancer.
Methods
This was a retrospective single centre study. Examining the records of all patients who had received primary chemotherapy between January 2010 and October 2014.
Patients were identified through the Guy's Breast Cancer Database and chemotherapy prescribing system. To fully assess the LN status, all patients were cross-referenced with the electronic notes on our electronic noting system (MOSAIQ), radiology on Patient Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and histology on our Electronic Patient Record (EPR).
Results:
1526 patients were identified, of whom 156 underwent primary chemotherapy. 111 patients had suspicious nodes on imaging (ultrasound and/or MRI) and underwent LN biopsy. 69 patients had positive nodes pre-chemotherapy. 28 of these 69 patients (40.6%) had negative nodes at ANC, of these 14 (50%) had complete pathological complete response (pCR) in their primary tumour(s) of whom 12 (86%) had radiological CR prior to surgery. Of the 41 who remained positive only three achieved pCR of their primary tumour after chemotherapy.
22 patients were LN positive post primary chemotherapy, despite having been identified as initially LN negative. Of these 9 had a negative pre chemotherapy biopsy, and only 1 of these 22 patients had a pCR.
Discussion:
We have confirmed that ANC may be avoided in selected patients with LN involvement at presentation. In our series over 40% could have had SLNB instead. Factors supporting this approach include those patients who have an excellent radiological response to primary chemotherapy. Conversely, 22 of 87 (25%) had positive LN after chemotherapy having been initially thought to be LN negative at presentation, highlighting the possible need for multiple nodal sampling prior to chemotherapy as well as further nodal assessment after chemotherapy for complete staging.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: There is an urgent need for better trial designs to assess targeted drug combinations. We proposed a novel intrapatient (intrapt) dose escalation trial design to optimize drug exposures, minimize pharmacokinetic (PK) variability and reduce patient (pt) numbers needed (Yap et al, JCO 2013). In vivo synergy between PARP and PI3K pathway inhibition was seen in BRCA1-related and sporadic cancers (Juvekar et al; Ibrahim et al, Cancer Discov 2012), providing rationale for this study.
Methods: Two-stage investigator initiated phase I trial: a) Intrapt dose escalation; b) Recommended phase II combination dose (RP2CD) expansion. Advanced cancer pts received escalating doses of AZD5363 (AZD) BID in 2 parallel arms (4 days on 3 days off [4/7 arm] at 320, 400, 480mg; 2 days on 5 days off [2/7 arm] at 480, 560, 640mg) with Olaparib (Ola) at 300mg BID in 3 weekly cycles. AZD was escalated after each cycle in each pt if drug related toxicities were ≤CTCAE G2. Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) were assessed during the 1st cycle of each dose level (DL). ≥6 evaluable pts were required at each DL. RECIST assessment was done every 3 cycles. Prior PARP or PI3K/AKT inhibitor use was allowed. PK and pharmacodynamics (PD) were assessed in tumor and normal tissue. Targeted +/- whole exome next generation sequencing was assessed in tumor and serial plasma DNA samples in all pts for predictive biomarkers of response.
Results: Dose escalation was completed in 7.5 months (m) in 20 pts in 1 center; ≥6 evaluable pts were treated at each of the 3 DLs in both arms. Common (>15%) G1-2 toxicities were nausea, vomiting, fatigue, diarrhea and anemia. A DLT of G3 rash was seen at 480mg BID 4/7 AZD + 300mg BID Ola. Non DLT G3 anemia (n = 2), diarrhea (n = 2), fatigue (n = 1) and vomiting (n = 1) were seen in 4/7 arm; G3 hyperglycemia (n = 1), transaminitis (n = 1) and fatigue (n = 2) in 2/7 arm. No significant PK interactions were seen between Ola and AZD. Intrapt dose escalation of AZD showed dose dependent increases in PK exposures. Platelet-rich plasma PD showed significant decreases in pSer9 GSK3β post-therapy at all DLs (mean ≥55% [p<0.002] in 4/7 arm and ≥70% [p<0.0001] in 2/7 arm). Confirmed partial responses (PR) were seen in a BRCA wild type PTEN LOH platinum resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) pt for 6m and a BRCA1 mutant (mut) PROC pt for 5.5m+. Unconfirmed PR was seen in a BRCA1 mut breast cancer pt (2.5m+). A BRCA1 mut castration resistant prostate cancer pt has PCWG2 response (PSA 14 to 0.7 μg/L) and tumor response on DW-MRI (8m+). A PI3K/mTOR inhibitor resistant peritoneal mesothelioma pt has stable disease for 9m+ with 66% CA125 decline (202 to 69 U/mL). RP2CD was established at 640mg BID 2/7 AZD + 300mg BID Ola based on tolerability.
Conclusion: This novel trial design led to rapid completion of dose escalation. RP2CD expansion (n = 40) is ongoing in: a) germline BRCA mut cancers; b) sporadic cancers with relevant somatic mutations.

Abstract
Background: Inflammation is critical to the pathogenesis and progression of cancer, with a high neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) associated with poor prognosis. The utility of studying NLR in early clinical trials is unknown. Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 1300 patients treated in phase 1 clinical trials between July 2004 and February 2014 at the Royal Marsden Hospital (RMH), UK. Data were collected on patient characteristics and baseline laboratory parameters. Results: The test cohort recruited 300 patients; 53% were female, 35% ECOG 0 and 64% ECOG 1. RMH score was 0–1 in 66% and 2–3 in 34%. The median NLR was 3.08 (IQR 2.06–4.49). Median OS for the NLR quartiles was 10.5 months for quartile-1, 10.3 months for quartile-2, 7.9 months for quartile-3 and 6.5 months for quartile-4 (P<0.0001). Univariate analysis identified RMH score (HR=0.55, P<0.0001), ECOG (HR=0.62, P=0.002) and neutrophils (HR=0.65, P=0.003) to be associated with OS. In multivariate analysis, adjusting for RMH score, ECOG, neutrophils and tumour type, NLR remained significantly associated with OS (P=0.002), with no association with therapeutic steroid use. These results were validated in a further 1000 cancer patients. In the validation cohort, NLR was able to discriminate for OS (P=0.004), as was the RMH score. This was further improved on in the RMH score+NLR50 and RMH score+Log10NLR models, with an optimal NLR cutoff of 3.0. Conclusions: NLR is a validated independent prognostic factor for OS in patients treated in phase 1 trials. Combining the NLR with the RMH score improves the discriminating ability for OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy plus concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide (RCAT) is now standard treatment for grade IV glioblastoma (GBM). We report the results from our 7 years experience of using RCAT, and the potential role of a change in platelet count as a prognostic factor. METHODS We identified all patients with biopsy-proven GBM who received RCAT at the Royal Free Hospital between 2002 and 2009. We extracted data on demographic, tumour and treatment variables and overall survival and conducted univariate analyses on the association of the baseline factors with survival, and included those that were significant in a multivariate model. We then conducted exploratory analyses on the impact of changes in haematological parameters and overall survival. RESULTS A total of eighty-four patients were included in the final analysis. Median overall survival in our study was 17.6 months. Overall survival rate at 1 year and 2 years were 70 and 36 %, respectively. Platelet counts were seen to fall when measured from baseline to beginning of week 6. A decrease in platelet count from baseline to week 6 was associated with longer survival (p = 0.006), and this remains significant when adjusted for known prognostic factors. CONCLUSION Our study shows the survival benefit seen in the phase III trial is reproducible in clinical practice. In addition, decreased platelet count during concurrent radiotherapy and temozolomide appears to correlate with prolonged survival, a finding that warrants further investigation.
