Higher Progression-free Survival Rate Research Articles

Clinical efficacy of Endostar continuous infusion combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of concurrent chemoradiotherapy using Endostar continuous infusion for treating oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). A total of 62 patients with oesophageal carcinoma were divided into three groups: the Endostar continuous infusion group (n = 27), the Endostar intravenous drip group (n = 21) and the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group (n = 14). All patients underwent oesophageal radiotherapy (56-60 Gy) alongside concurrent chemotherapy (4 mg of raltitrexed +100 mg of oxaliplatin, two cycles). In the Endostar continuous infusion group, 210 mg of Endostar was administered via infusion once every 3 weeks for 72 h, repeated for two cycles. The Endostar intravenous drip group received a dosage of 15 mg/day of Endostar, administered once daily for 14 days, repeated for two cycles. The objective response rate (ORR) (complete remission + partial remission), progression-free survival (PFS), 2-year overall survival (2y-OS) and adverse reactions were observed. In the Endostar continuous infusion, intravenous drip and concurrent chemoradiotherapy groups, the ORR was 100, 95.2 and 78.6%, respectively (p < 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the continuous infusion and concurrent chemoradiotherapy groups (p < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the continuous infusion and intravenous drip groups or the intravenous drip and concurrent chemoradiotherapy groups (p > 0.05). The continuous infusion and intravenous drip groups had higher PFS rates than the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group (p < 0.05). Regarding the 2y-OS rate, no statistically significant difference was observed among the three groups (p > 0.05). Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in adverse reactions among the groups (p > 0.05). Concurrent chemotherapy based on endostatin is effective and safe in the treatment of OSCC. Continuous 3-day Endostar infusion treatment can significantly enhance both short-and long-term therapy efficacy in patients while maintaining a high level of safety.

Clinical features and prognostic factors of AIDS-associated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

To explore the general clinical features and treatment outcomes of patients with AIDS-related diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (AIDS-DLBCL) and provide a theoretical basis for diagnosis and treatment, survival prognosis, prevention and management of AIDS-DLBCL patients. AIDS-DLBCL patients who received combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) at Changsha First Hospital from January 2017 to January 2020 were selected in this study. The survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the association between AIDS-DLBCL specific variables and progression-free survival and overall survival. Correlation analysis was conducted based on the clinical features of the patients. A total of 50 AIDS-DLBCL patients were included. Their median age (Q1, Q3) was 52 (44, 59) years, of whom 46 (92%) were male. About 20 (40%) patients received treatment with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP), while 23 patients (46%) received treatment with rituximab combined with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (RCHOP). Survival curve analysis showed that the 2-year progression-free survival rate and overall survival rate of AIDS-DLBCL patients were 56.9% and 61.6%, respectively. Patients with RCHOP protocol combined with EBV-DNA≥1 000 copies/ml had higher progression-free survival rate (χ2=3.844, P=0.043) and overall survival rate (χ2=4.662, P=0.031) than those with CHOP protocol combined with EBV-DNA≥1 000 copies/ml. A multivariate analysis showed that male (HR=2.70, 95%CI:1.10-6.80), EB viral load≥1 000 copies/ml (HR=1.75, 95%CI:1.12-2.84), HIV-RNA≥200 copies/ml (HR=4.64, 95%CI: 1.73-12.15), ECOG PS score of 2 to 4 points (HR=3.54, 95%CI:1.62-7.33), and international prognostic index (IPI) score of 3 to 5 points (HR=5.21, 95%CI:1.39-20.14) were at a higher risk of disease progression. Patients with EB viral load≥1 000 copies/ml (HR=0.07, 95%CI:0.05-0.93) on the RCHOP regimen had a small risk of disease progression. Males (HR=2.87, 95%CI:1.65-9.17), EB viral load≥1 000 copies/ml (HR=1.61, 95%CI:4.02-9.36), HIV-RNA≥200 copies/ml (HR=1.19, 95%CI:1.58-2.74), ECOG PS score of 2 to 4 (HR=6.42, 95%CI:2.55-14.33), IPI score of 3 to 5 points (HR=2.78, 95%CI:1.41-12.96) had a high risk of mortality. Patients with EB viral load≥1 000 copies/ml (HR=0.24, 95%CI:0.64-0.90) on the RCHOP regimen had a low risk of mortality. In summary, males, ECOG physical status score of 2 to 4 points, IPI score of 3 to 5 points, EB viral load≥1 000 copies/ml and HIV viral load≥200 copies/ml are risk factors affecting progression-free survival and overall survival of AIDS-DLBCL patients. RCHOP regimen combined with EB viral load≥1 000 copies/ml is a protective factor affecting progression-free survival and overall survival in AIDS-DLBCL patients.

Phase II, Single-Arm Trial of Induction and Concurrent Vismodegib With Curative-Intent Radiation Therapy for Locally Advanced, Unresectable Basal Cell Carcinoma.

Locally advanced, unresectable basal cell carcinoma (LA BCC) can be treated with radiation therapy (RT), but locoregional control (LRC) rates are unsatisfactory. Vismodegib is a hedgehog pathway inhibitor (HPI) active in BCC that may radiosensitize BCC. We evaluated the combination of vismodegib and RT for patients with LA BCC. In this multicenter, single-arm, phase II study, patients with unresectable LA BCC received 12 weeks of induction vismodegib, followed by 7 weeks of concurrent vismodegib and RT. The primary end point was LRC rate at 1 year after the end of treatment. Secondary end points included objective response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), safety, and patient-reported quality of life (PRQOL). Twenty-four patients received vismodegib; five were unable to complete 12 weeks of induction therapy. LRC was achieved in 91% (95% CI, 68 to 98) of patients at 1 year. The response rate was 63% (95% CI, 38 to 84) after induction vismodegib and 83% (95% CI, 59 to 96) after concurrent vismodegib and RT. With a median follow-up of 5.7 years, 1-year PFS and OS rates were 100% and 96%, and at 5 years PFS and OS rates were 78% and 83%, respectively. Distant metastasis or BCC-related death has not been observed. The most frequent treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were dysgeusia, fatigue, and myalgias occurring in 83%, 75%, and 75% of patients. No grade 4 to 5 treatment-related AEs occurred. PRQOL demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in all subscales, with emotions and functioning improvements persisting for a year after the end of treatment. In patients with unresectable LA BCC, the combination of vismodegib and RT yielded high rates of LRC and PFS and durable improvements in PRQOL.

Longitudinal circulating tumor DNA kinetics and correlation with patient outcomes in metastatic melanoma.

e21538 Background: Previous studies have shown circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to be an accurate noninvasive method for detecting minimal residual disease and predicting therapeutic response. This study aims to investigate if positive ctDNA and subsequent clearance kinetics may be used as a predictive and prognostic tool in patients with stage IV metastatic melanoma. Non-clearance of ctDNA may be associated with poorer outcomes for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Methods: In this retrospective analysis of preexisting data from a cohort of 27 patients with stage IV melanoma treated at Rush University, longitudinal ctDNA plasma samples collected between 05/01/2020 and 01/01/2024 were analyzed. A tumor-informed ctDNA assay (SignateraTM, reported in mean tumor molecules per mL (MTM/ml), low limit of detection of 0.01% variant allele frequency) was used for detection and quantification of ctDNA in plasma samples. Progression was determined based off of radiographic studies, overall survival was determined by time from stage IV diagnosis to patient death. Results: A total of 192 ctDNA timepoints were analyzed. The median number of ctDNA timepoints per patient was 5 (range 1-26). 8 patients were identified whose initial ctDNA result was negative and remained negative throughout their treatment course; 5/8 of these patients had baseline negative values available prior to the initiation of treatment. 19 patients had at least 1 positive ctDNA result at any given time; 1/19 of these patients was ctDNA-negative at baseline, 7/19 were positive at baseline, and 11/19 did not have baseline values available. The PFS rate was higher for ctDNA-negative patients compared to ctDNA-positive patients (62.5% vs. 57.9%). The OS rate was also higher for ctDNA-negative patients compared to ctDNA-positive patients (75% vs. 52.6%). Of the ctDNA-positive patients, those who achieved persistent clearance or had decreasing values of ctDNA had higher PFS rates when compared to ctDNA-positive patients who neither downtrended nor achieved clearance (71.4% and 66.7% vs. 22.9%). Patients who achieved persistent clearance or had decreasing values of ctDNA also had higher OS rates when compared to ctDNA-positive patients who neither downtrended nor achieved clearance (71.4% and 100% vs. 33.3%). Conclusions: Within the limitations of a small sample size, our data suggests that for patients with stage IV melanoma, a positive ctDNA result is associated with poorer outcomes for PFS and OS, when compared to patients with negative ctDNA results. Additionally, ctDNA-positive patients who achieved persistent clearance or downtrending ctDNA values showed more favorable outcomes for PFS and OS than ctDNA-positive patients who did not.

Subcutaneous epcoritamab + GemOx in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL: Updated results from EPCORE NHL-2.

7037 Background: Gemcitabine + oxaliplatin (GemOx) is commonly used with rituximab to treat relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); however, outcomes are suboptimal: 33% complete response (CR) rate; 5 mo median progression-free survival (PFS); 10 mo median overall survival (OS; Cazelles et al, Leuk Lymphoma 2021). We report additional efficacy and safety results of epcoritamab + GemOx in difficult-to-treat R/R DLBCL (EPCORE™ NHL-2 phase 1/2 trial, NCT04663347). Methods: Adults with R/R CD20+ DLBCL who failed or were ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) enrolled to receive subcutaneous (SC) epcoritamab (2 step-up doses followed by 48-mg full doses) in 28-d cycles (C): QW, C1–3; Q2W, C4–9; Q4W, C≥10 until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. GemOx was given Q2W in C1–4. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) per Lugano criteria. Subgroup analyses by prior treatment (tx) and response were performed. Results: As of Sept 1, 2023, 97 pts with ≥6 mo of follow-up had received epcoritamab 48 mg + GemOx (median follow-up, 9.7 mo). Pts had a median of 2 prior lines of tx (pLOT; range, 1–6); 55% had primary refractory disease, 38% had bulky disease (&gt;6 cm), 30% had prior CAR T, and 9% had prior ASCT. Median age was 72 y, with 34% of pts ≥75 y. A median of 7 cycles of epcoritamab and 4 cycles of GemOx were initiated. At data cutoff, tx was ongoing in 46% of pts. ORR was 78% and CR rate was 55%. Median time to CR was 1.7 mo; median duration of CR was 13.3 mo. Additional efficacy outcomes are shown in the Table. Safety was consistent with previous reports. The most common tx-emergent AEs (TEAEs) of any grade (G) were hematologic AEs (68% thrombocytopenia; 59% neutropenia [6% febrile neutropenia]; 51% anemia) and CRS (51%). CRS was primarily low grade (27% G1, 23% G2), with only 1 pt experiencing G3 CRS; all events resolved and none led to tx discontinuation. ICANS was reported in 3 pts (G1, n=2; G3, n=1); all events resolved, but 1 pt discontinued tx. There were 13 fatal TEAEs; in 3 cases, the contribution of epcoritamab + GemOx could not be ruled out: COVID-19, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, and small intestinal perforation. Conclusions: These long-term results continue to demonstrate that SC epcoritamab in combination with GemOx leads to deep, durable responses, which translate to high rates of PFS and OS in challenging-to-treat, high-risk pts with R/R DLBCL. CR rates were consistently high across prespecified subgroups. Higher CR rates in pts with 1 vs ≥2 pLOT indicate that earlier use may further improve outcomes. No new safety signals were identified. The benefit-risk profile of this combination supports the combinability of epcoritamab in R/R DLBCL. Clinical trial information: NCT04663347 . [Table: see text]

Комбинация Nivo-DHAP с последующей высокодозной химиотерапией и трансплантацией аутологичных гемопоэтических стволовых клеток у пациентов с рецидивами и рефрактерным течением классической лимфомы Ходжкина: результаты многоцентрового проспективного клинического исследования (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04091490)

Background. High-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) is currently regarded as a standard treatment for patients with relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). The efficacy of transplantation correlates with the depth of antitumor response achieved on pre-transplantation chemotherapy. A combination of PD-1 inhibitors with chemotherapy is a new forward-looking approach ensuring a higher rate of complete responses prior to auto-HSCT as well as better outcomes of the treatment in general.&#x0D; Aim. To assess the efficacy and safety of the combined program with Nivo-DHAP and subsequent HDCT and auto-HSCT in patients with relapsed/refractory cHL.&#x0D; Materials &amp; Methods. From March 2020 to January 2022, 38 patients were enrolled in the study. The Nivo-DHAP program consisted of two stages. At stage 1 nivolumab immunotherapy was administered: two 240 mg/day IV infusions as a monoregimen 14 days apart. Stage 2, Nivo-DHAP immunochemotherapy, started in 14 days after stage 1: nivolumab 480 mg/day IV infusion on Day 1 in combination with DHAP chemotherapy, total of 4 cycles. The efficacy of this therapy was evaluated after 2 nivolumab infusions as well as after 2 and 4 Nivo-DHAP cycles. The program was fully implemented in 36 patients. HSCs were collected after remission had been reported, in most cases it was after 2 Nivo-DHAP cycles. For various reasons, auto-HSCT was performed only in 23 out of 36 patients. The median follow-up of patients after auto-HSCT was 24 months.&#x0D; Results. After completing the pre-transplantation stage of the program to the full extent, which included Nivo, Nivo, and 4 Nivo-DHAP cycles, 36 patients showed a 100 % overall objective response. Complete response was achieved in 27 (75 %) patients, and partial response was reported in 9 (25 %) patients. The signs of hematological toxicity grade 3/4 were manifested in 26 % of patients. In the total cohort of 36 patients with (n = 23) and without (n = 13) auto-HSCT, progression-free survival (PFS) was 81 % with the follow-up of 12 months, 78 % with the follow-up of 24 months, and 74 % with the follow-up of 36 months. Overall survival (OS) in the total cohort with the same follow-up end-points was 95 %. A comparative assessment revealed that PFS was 87 % in the cohort with auto-HSCT with the follow-up of 12, 24, and 36 months and 70 %, 64 %, and 48 % in the cohort without auto-HSCT with the same follow-up end-points, respectively (p = 0.056).&#x0D; Conclusion. A combination of PD-1 inhibitors with chemotherapy as a stage prior to HDCT followed by auto-HSCT is a promising strategy resulting in high PFS and OS rates. Preliminary data on using PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy cannot yet provide substantial basis for disregarding HDCT with subsequent auto-HSCT which is considered to be the optimal method for remission consolidation.

A multicenter study of posttransplantation low-dose inotuzumab ozogamicin to prevent relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia

AbstractThe curative potential of allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation (allo-HCT) in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is hampered by relapse. Inotuzumab ozogamicin (INO) is an anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody bound to calicheamicin, which has significant activity against ALL. We hypothesized that low-dose INO would be safe and feasible after allo-HCT. Therefore, we conducted a phase 1 study to determine the dose and safety in this setting. Patients were eligible if they were aged 16 to 75 years, had undergone allo-HCT for CD22+ ALL, were in complete remission (CR) after allo-HCT, had high risk of recurrence, were between day 40 and 100 after allo-HCT with adequate graft function, and did not have a history of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS). The objectives of this trial were to define INO maximum tolerated dose (MTD), to determine post–allo-HCT INO safety, and to measure 1-year progression-free survival (PFS). The trial design followed a “3+3” model. The treatment consisted of INO given on day 1 of 28-day cycles. Dose levels were 0.3 mg/m2, 0.4 mg/m2, 0.5 mg/m2, and 0.6 mg/m2. Median age was 44 years (range, 17-66 years; n = 18). Disease status at transplantation was first CR (n = 14) or second CR or beyond (n = 4). Preparative regimen was of reduced intensity in 72% of patients who received transplantation. Most common toxicity was thrombocytopenia. There were no instances of SOS; the MTD was 0.6 mg/m2. One-year nonrelapse mortality was 5.6%. With a median follow-up of 18.1 months (range, 8.6-59 months) 1-year post–allo-HCT PFS and overall survival is 89% and 94%, respectively. Low-dose INO has a favorable safety profile and was associated with high rates of 1-year PFS. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03104491.

The role of FDG-PET scanning and PET-adapted therapy in the primary treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma: A primer for clinicians

The evolving treatment paradigm for classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) remains focused on maintaining high rates of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), while seeking to reduce both short-term and late toxicities from chemotherapy and radiation. Functional imaging with fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG)‑positron emission tomography (PET) combined with computed tomography (CT) is recognized as standard for staging and response evaluation of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Recent randomized controlled trials evaluating FDG-PET-guided therapy for patients with limited stage and advanced stage Hodgkin lymphoma provide clinicians and patients with meaningful data upon which to base individualized treatment approaches. FDG‑PET scanning after two cycles of therapy (interim PET or PET2) represents the most important determinant of further appropriate treatment and subsequent outcomes, and is now the cornerstone of risk-adapted therapy for all patients receiving curative-intent initial therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma. For patients with limited stage cHL, post-chemotherapy assessment (after two or four cycles of treatment depending on the regimen used) is also a key determinant of the need for the addition of involved site or nodal radiation as part of combined modality therapy. This review summarizes the important role of interim and end of chemotherapy FDG-PET scanning to guide individualized initial therapy for patients to achieve optimal treatment outcomes.

Phase II Study of the Combination of Daratumumab, Ixazomib, Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone (DIPD) As Salvage Therapy in Early Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Background: The combination of daratumumab (D), pomalidomide (P), and dexamethasone (d) has previously demonstrated high overall response rates in patients with RRMM. Results of the phase 3 APOLLO study of DPd vs Pd in patients with RRMM with at least 1 prior line of therapy showed 69% ORR with a median PFS of 12.4 months in those patients who received the triplet combination (Dimopoulos, et al. Lancet 2021). Quadruplet regimens may further improve results by providing deeper and more durable responses with more intensive regimens. We report results from a phase 2 multicenter trial of the addition of Ixazomib to DPd (DIPd) in patients with early RRMM. Methods: This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, single arm phase 2 study (NCT03590652) with a primary endpoint of overall response rate (ORR) and safety of DIPd. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and MRD-negativity rate. A Simon's optimal 2-stage design was used, with 14 subjects in stage 1 and 32 patients for stage 2. Eligible patients may not have had prior exposure to daratumumab or Ixazomib, may not have progressed on prior pomalidomide, and must have received ≥1 or ≤3 prior lines of therapy including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor. The first six patients in a safety run-in received daratumumab 16mg/kg IV weekly x 8 doses, biweekly x 8 doses, then monthly, pomalidomide 4mg orally on days 1-21, ixazomib 4mg orally on days 1, 8, 15, and dexamethasone 20-40mg weekly on a 28-day cycle. Grade 3-4 neutropenia was observed in 100% of patients in the safety run-in, prompting starting dose reductions to ixazomib 3 mg and pomalidomide 3 mg by the DSMB for subsequent patients. An amendment allowed for subcutaneous (SC) Daratumumab administration and all active patients transitioned to or started with SC dosing for ongoing therapy. MRD assessments were performed by EuroFlow for patients in suspected CR. Pharmacodynamic changes in patients' tumor microenvironments were established by custom panel mass cytometry to include T-cell memory and activated subpopulations, B-cell content, NK-cell subpopulations as well as MDSCs, Tregs and T-exhaustive markers, monocytes and dendritic cells. Results: The study has completed the planned enrollment of 46 patients. The median age is 61.6 years (range 41-87), with 47% female, 72% White, 17% Asian, and 5% Black patients. Patients had a median of 1 prior line of therapy (range 1-3), and 56% (23/41) of patients had at least one high-risk cytogenetic abnormality including del 17p, +1q, t(14;16), t(14;20), or t(4;14). Grade 3-4 treatment emergent adverse events (AE) include neutropenia (72%), infection (19%), febrile neutropenia (8%), lymphopenia (8%), electrolyte disturbance (6%), leukopenia (3%), thrombocytopenia (3%), respiratory condition (3%), infusion reaction (3%), thrombosis (3%), and psychiatric condition (3%). ORR to date is 83% (38/46) in evaluable patients, and best responses include 12 (26%) sCR, 12 (26%) VGPR, and 14 (30%) PR. The median duration of response (DOR) is 21.1 months for all patients, with 11 patients currently remaining on DIPd therapy, and 9 deaths all unrelated to study treatment (5 progressive disease [PD], 2 sepsis, 1 COVID, 1 unrelated surgical complication). Of the 35 patients off therapy, 20 patients had PD, 6 patients had AEs, 5 patients stopped per physician discretion or withdrew consent, and 4 patients received an autologous stem cell transplant. After a median follow up of 15 months, the median PFS is 16.6mo (95% CI: 8.19-NR ) for all patients, 16.6mo (6.9-NR) for standard risk patients, and 22.3mo (7.6-NR) for high risk patients (p=0.9). The median OS for all patients is 30.3mo (95 CI: 30.3-NR). Data will be updated for the conference to include MRD negativity rates and completed data analysis of the primary endpoint. Conclusion: The quadruplet regimen DIPd shows that the addition of a 4 th agent results in high overall response rates and early PFS rates, with manageable toxicity, and the convenience of a nearly all-oral drug regimen in patients with early RRMM. These data are particularly compelling for high-risk disease as more than half of the patients treated had at least one high-risk cytogenetic abnormality, offering a promising option for the management of early relapse in high-risk patients.

A Phase 1 Study of Subcutaneous Rituximab Hyaluronidase Combined with Local Standard-of-Care Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma in Uganda

Background: Patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) who are treated in low-resource settings have inferior outcomes compared to those in high-resource settings, with 12-month overall survival (OS) rates typically under 50% with standard chemotherapy (Gopal et al. [PMID:26934054]). Rituximab, an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, when combined with chemotherapy, improves OS for DLBCL and is the standard of care for patients with CD20+ DLBCL in resource-rich settings. Despite receiving FDA approval over 25 years ago and its subsequent inclusion in the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, IV rituximab is not readily available or routinely used in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This is in part due to cost and the limited availability of infusion centers in SSA. Subcutaneous rituximab hyaluronidase (sqR) is a potential solution, but its safety is not established in these settings. Here, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of a fixed dose of 1400 mg sqR in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy in Ugandan adults with CD20+ DLBCL. Methods: This open-label phase I study, conducted at the Uganda Cancer Institute [(UCI) Kampala, Uganda], enrolled patients age ≥ 18 with newly diagnosed CD20+ DLBCL with measurable disease, and an ECOG performance status of &amp;lt; 2. Patients living with HIV were eligible if they were receiving antiretroviral therapy and had CD4+ T-cell count &amp;gt;200 cells/uL. The first cohort (n=6) received IV rituximab, 375mg/m 2 on day 1 of cycle 1 plus CHOP chemotherapy (IV cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m 2, IV doxorubicin 50 mg/m 2, IV vincristine 1·4 mg/m 2 (maximum 2 mg/m 2) on day 1, and oral prednisone 100 mg on days 1-5). This cohort received sqR (1400 mg) for subsequent cycles. The second cohort (n=12) received sqR plus CHOP for all cycles. Safety and tolerability were evaluated by monitoring adverse events and graded by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5; secondary outcomes included response rates and treatment completion. We used Kaplan-Meier methods to estimate OS and progression-free survival (PFS), defined as disease progression or death, with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) at 12 months from initiation of treatment. Results: Between October 25 th, 2019 and October 7, 2022, 38 patients were assessed for eligibility; 19 patients met the criteria and were enrolled. One patient was not given the study treatment due to UCI-mandated COVID-19 restrictions. Of the 18 participants, median age was 36.5 years (IQR 25.2-50.0), 10 (56%) were male and 10 (56%) presented with advanced stage (III/IV) disease. Three (16.7%) participants were living with HIV and their median CD4 count was 311. Participants completed a median of 6 cycles of therapy. Grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicities were reported in 11 (61%) participants; grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicities were reported in 4 (22%). The most common hematologic toxicity was neutropenia (n=9, 50%); the most common non-hematologic toxicities were anorexia (n=7; 39%) and hyponatremia (n=7; 39%). Fifteen of the 18 participants completed treatment; 3 died during treatment. Of the 15 who completed treatment, 14 (93.3%) patients achieved a complete response (CR) and 1 patient (6.7%) had a partial response (PR). The patient who had a PR subsequently developed progressive disease, as did 2 patients who initially had a CR after therapy (Figure 1). The OS and PFS at 12 months was 83% (95% CI, 68-100%) and 66% (95% CI 47-92%) respectively. Conclusion: As demonstrated in other parts of the world, sqR together with CHOP chemotherapy was safe, well-tolerated, and efficacious among Ugandan patients with DLBCL. The very high CR, PFS, and OS rates are nearly double that of historical controls at the UCI, and comparable to outcomes expected in resource-rich settings. Colleagues have previously demonstrated the safety and efficacy of an oral chemotherapy regimen for aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in East Africa (Mwanda et al. [PMID: 19470940]). Given the results of this study, the potential for a safe and effective regimen, which precludes the need for IV therapy, for the treatment of DLBCL exists. Additionally, this trial strengthened the clinical trial research infrastructure in Uganda; trials conducted locally are critical to determining pragmatic and optimal treatment strategies. We anticipate that this research will improve care for DLBCL patients not only in Uganda but in other resource-limited settings as well.

Intravesical instillation of bacillus Calmette-Guerin for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer: outcomes of 421 patients in a single center

To assess the therapeutic effect and adverse effect of intravesical instillation of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) for treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and analyze the independent predictors of patient survival. We retrospectively collected the clinical data from 421 patients (mean age 61.79±11.51 years) with NMIBC, who received intravesical instillation of BCG after surgery in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from September, 2015 to September, 2021. Recurrence-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and disease specific survival (DSS) of the patients were analyzed, and the adverse effects were assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 5.0. Kaplan-Meier analysis, univariate and multivariate COX regression analyses were used to identify the independent predictors of the patients' survival outcomes. The median follow-up of the patients was 17 months, during which 88 (20.9%) patients experienced recurrence (median time to recurrence of 10 months, range 3-58 months); 40 (9.5%) patients showed tumor progression (median time to progression of 18 months, range 3-50 months); and 14 (3.3%) patients died (median survival time of 30 months, range 8-52 months). Adverse events of grade 1, 2, and 3 occurred in 69, 110, and 23 of the patients, respectively. Survival analysis indicated that an age below 67.5 years (P=0.013), first tumor onset (P < 0.001), solitary tumor (P= 0.010), time to recurrence over one year (P=0.042), low levels of neutrophils (P=0.005), monocytes (P=0.005) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR; P=0.014), and cytokeratin 19 fragment 21-1 (CyFra21-1; P=0.002) were all associated with a higher PFS rate. Multivariate COX analysis suggested that the time of tumor recurrence (P=0.007, HR=2.669, 95% CI: 1.316-5.414), monocyte counts (P=0.015, HR=0.376, 95% CI: 0.171-0.829), and serum CyFra21-1 level (P=0.002, HR=0.312, 95% CI: 0.151-0.647) were independent predictors of RFS; primary tumor or tumor relapse (P=0.003, HR=0.301, 95% CI: 0.138-0.660), neutrophil counts (P=0.028, HR=0.302, 95% CI: 0.103-0.882), and CyFra21-1 level (P=0.029, HR=0.358, 95% CI: 0.142-0.903) were independent predictors of PFS following BCG instillation. Intravesical instillation of BCG is effective for treatment of intermediate or high-risk NMIBC, and the adverse effects are tolerable in most cases. The time of tumor recurrence, monocyte counts, and serum CyFra21-1 level are independent predictors of RFS, and primary tumor or tumor relapse, neutrophil counts, and CyFra21-1 level are independent predictors of PFS.

Treatment of Thymic Oligometastastic or Oligoprogressive Lesions with Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy or Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy

<h3>Purpose/Objective(s)</h3> Recent large clinical trials have demonstrated an improvement in local failure-free survival (LFFS) and progression free survival (PFS) with hypofractionated radiation therapy (HFRT) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in select patients with oligometastatic (OM) and oligoprogressive (OP) disease. However, little is known about the outcomes of HFRT and SBRT in patients with OM or OP disease from thymic malignancies. Therefore, the purpose of this analysis was to characterize the outcomes of such patients treated at our institution. <h3>Materials/Methods</h3> We retrospectively reviewed patients with OM or OP thymic malignancies treated with HFRT or SBRT between 2009-2021. We defined OM as 5 or fewer sites of metastatic disease at the time of RT and OP as 5 or fewer sites of metastatic disease increasing in radiological size. Patients treated with 20 or fewer fractions of radiation were included. Survival outcomes were defined from the end of RT. Analyses were done using the <i>lifelines</i> module in Python. <h3>Results</h3> We analyzed 48 patients treated to 81 lesions. The median age was 54 years old (range: 24-82 years), 63% were male and 79% were white. Patients had thymoma (54%), thymic carcinoma (38%), or atypical thymic carcinoid (8%). At the time of initial diagnosis, patients were stage I-II (21%), III (12.5%), IVA (23%) or IVB (42%). The majority of patients (65%) received systemic therapy prior to radiation therapy. Of the 81 lesions treated, 67 (83%) were OM lesions and 14 (17%) were polymetastatic, but OP lesions. Treatment sites included bone (37%), pleura (25%), lymph nodes (20%), lung (10%), brain (5%) and other (4%). Most patients were treated in 3 fractions (N=31; 8-10 Gy x 3 fractions), 5 fractions (N=28; 5-7 Gy x 5 fractions (N=20) or 8-10 Gy x 5 fractions (N=8)), or 15 fractions (N=11; 2.5-4 Gy x 15 fractions). The median biological effective dose (BED) was 51.3 Gy. Median follow up was 16 months. The 2-year/5-year rates of LFFS and PFS were 83%/76% and 32%/17%, respectively. The 2-year/5-year/10-year rates of overall survival (OS) were 92%/80%/61%. Patients with thymic carcinoma or atypical carcinoid had similar LFFS vs. those with thymoma (2-year LFFS: 85% vs. 82%, p=0.31), but they had shorter PFS (2-year PFS: 5% vs. 39%, p=0.01), and OS was not significantly different (2-year OS: 86% vs. 96%, p=0.25). Patients (N=14 patients treated to 19 lesions) treated with a BED > 60 Gy did not experience any local failure at 2 years (2-yr LFFS=100%). <h3>Conclusion</h3> Patients with OM or OP thymic malignancies treated with HFRT or SBRT had high rates of LFFS, PFS and OS. Despite having a more aggressive disease, patients with thymic carcinoma still experienced favorable LFFS with HFRT or SBRT. Patients treated with regimens with BED greater than 60 Gy had excellent LFFS. These results suggest that with long OS and PFS times, consideration should be given to SBRT/HFRT regimens to maximize local control in these patients with favorable prognoses.

P041: Low percentage of T lymphocytes in Hodgkin’s Lymphoma lymph nodes, measured by flow cytometry, is associated with inferior progression free survival regardless of negative interim pet scan status

Figure 1: Kaplan-Meier estimates of progression free survival stratified according to T-lymphocyte percentage in lymph node biopsies in Hodgkin lymphoma Background: Tumor microenvironment (TME) can influence antitumor immunity and survival in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) as previously published. However, most of this data has sparse clinical applicability. Flow cytometry (FC) has limited utility in HL diagnosis but its potential to assess TME has not been fully explored yet. Aims: To determine the prognostic impact on survival of the percentage (%) of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and CD4/CD8 ratio in lymph nodes (LN) measured by FC. Methods: We selected patients (pts) with HL, available LN FC data at diagnosis and i-PET scan, treated at our center from 2012–2020. FC was performed with 8-color panels according to Euroflow protocols. TIL % and CD4/CD8 ratio in LN by FC were compared to normal values reported (Battaglia, Immunology 2003) and stratified as low, normal and high. Response was assessed per Lugano recommendations. Progression free survival (PFS) was estimated with Kaplan-Meier, multivariate analysis with Cox regression, and variables were compared with log-rank test. Results: 46 pts were included. Median age: 34 years. 24/27 with early stage had unfavorable risk and 11/19 with advanced disease had IPS≥3. 95% received ABVD. Complete response rate was 91.3%. 2 pts died. Median PFS: not reached (NR), 75th percentile 43 months (m), and median follow up: 49 m. i-PET negative (neg) pts had significantly better PFS (median NR vs 13.7 m in i-PET positive subgroup, p:0.014). Low LN TIL % was associated with inferior PFS (median 24.4 m vs. NR in pts with normal or high TIL, p:0.024). Regarding CD4/CD8 ratio, PFS rates were 100%, 75% and 60% in normal, low and high subgroups respectively, p:0.041. Both low TIL and positive i-PET remained independent predictors of survival on multivariate analysis with HR of 11.8 (CI 95% 1.9–72.7, p:0.021), and 7.7 (CI 95% 1.6–36.4, p:0.01) respectively. LN TIL % could further stratify outcomes in pts with neg i-PET scans. In this subset, pts with low TIL had a median PFS of 24.4 m and PFS rates of 33.3% vs. median NR in normal and high subgroups and PFS rates of 88.9 and 87.5% respectively, p:0.006. Conclusions: LN TIL % measured by FC showed prognostic impact in our cohort of HL pts. Pts with low TIL had inferior PFS, even in those with optimal interim response where the median was only 2 years. This finding denotes the critical role of T cells to achieve cure. Checkpoint blockade might constitute an appealing approach in these pts to restore effective antitumor immunity.

Safety and efficacy of nivolumab compared with other regimens in patients with melanoma: A network meta-analysis.

Background:Melanoma is a cancerous tumor that develops from melanocytes in the epidermal basal layer of the skin. It is a fatal skin cancer and the third most common kind of cutaneous tumor. We aim to evaluate the effect of nivolumab in melanoma patients compared with other regimensMethods:This meta-analysis included only clinical trials, both randomized and nonrandomized. The main outcomes of interest were the response to treatment, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival, and adverse events.Results:The overall effect estimates favored nivolumab group over the combination of nivolumab plus ipilimumab (HR 3.06, 95% CI 1.70-5.49) and chemotherapy group (HR 3.58, 95% CI 1.63-7.84) after 1 year. Compared to chemotherapy, nivolumab had lower rates of adverse events.Conclusion:Nivolumab monotherapy yields high progression-free survival rates and has the same efficacy when combined with ipilimumab in a 1-year OS. However, after 2 and 3 years of follow-up, the combined regimen has more OS rates.

Impact of osteopenia and neutropenia in patients with colorectal cancer treated with FOLFOXIRI: a retrospective cohort study.

This study was performed to assess the impact of osteopenia on chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and the prognosis for patients treated with FOLFOXIRI for colorectal cancer. In total, 77 patients who underwent FOLFOXIRI for un-resectable metastatic and advanced colorectal cancer were retrospectively evaluated. Osteopenia was evaluated by the bone mineral density, which was measured using the average pixel density of the trabecular bone in the 11th thoracic vertebra by computed tomography before the introduction of chemotherapy. The relationship between osteopenia and neutropenia was evaluated. Progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with osteopenia and patients with neutropenia were evaluated. Grade ≥ 3 neutropenia was significantly more common in patients with than without osteopenia (p = 0.002). The multivariate analysis showed that osteopenia was a significant independent predictive factor for grade ≥ 3 neutropenia (p = 0.016). There was no significant difference in progression-free survival or overall survival between patients with and without osteopenia. Patients with grade ≥ 3 neutropenia tended to have a higher progression-free survival rate than others (p = 0.059). The overall survival rate was significantly higher in patients with grade ≥ 3 neutropenia than in others (p = 0.011). Osteopenia might be a predictor of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, and neutropenia might be a prognostic factor for progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with colorectal cancer treated with FOLFOXIRI.

Analysis of circulating tumor DNA in the phase 2 BTCRC LUN 16-081 trial of consolidation nivolumab with or without ipilimumab after chemoradiation in stage III non–small cell lung cancer.

8534 Background: The current standard of care for patients with inoperable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) includes chemoradiation (CRT) followed by up to 1 year of checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy. However, many patients are not able to complete 1 year of treatment and the optimal duration of consolidation therapy remains unknown. Identifying minimal residual disease (MRD) via detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) may help inform the optimal duration of treatment. Here we report the results of a preplanned correlative study evaluating the association between detectable ctDNA and survival outcomes from the BTCRC LUN 16-081 phase 2 trial of consolidation nivolumab or nivolumab plus ipilimumab following CRT in patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC (NCT03285321). Methods: Following CRT, patients with unresectable stage IIIA/B NSCLC were randomized 1:1 to receive nivolumab 480 mg IV Q4weeks for up to 6 cycles or nivolumab 240 mg IV Q2weeks plus ipilimumab 1 mg/kg IV Q6weeks for up to 4 cycles. Plasma samples for ctDNA analysis were collected after completion of CRT, prior to C2D1 of CPI, and at the end of treatment or withdrawal from the study. Tumor genotyping and ctDNA analysis were performed using CAPP-Seq with a panel targeting 260 genes recurrently mutated in NSCLC. Patient-specific tumor variants were identified using tumor tissue or baseline plasma and matched leukocyte DNA samples. Tumor variants were then monitored in plasma samples using a tumor mutation-informed bioinformatic strategy. Results: Thirty-nine patients received either nivolumab (n = 25; cycles: median = 6, range 1-6), or nivolumab plus ipilimumab (n = 14; cycles; median = 2, range = 1-6). Patients with detectable ctDNA MRD after completion of CRT demonstrated significantly inferior progression free survival (PFS) than patients who were MRD-negative (12-month 29% vs 76%, 24-month 29% vs 68%, P = 0.003), prior to C2D1 of CPI (12-month 0% vs 85%, 24-month 0% vs 72%, P &lt; 0.0001) and at the end of CPI (12-month 14% vs 90%, 24-month 14% vs 79%, P &lt; 0.0001). Patients with undetectable ctDNA MRD at the end of CPI (median cycles = 5.5; range 1-6) demonstrated 24-month overall survival of 91%. Additionally, patients with decreasing or undetectable ctDNA levels after one cycle of CPI had improved outcomes compared to patients with increasing ctDNA levels (24-month PFS 73% vs 0%, P &lt; 0.0001). Progression of disease occurred within 10.8 months of starting CPI in all patients with increasing ctDNA levels at C2D1. Conclusions: Detectable ctDNA before, during, and after consolidation CPI is strongly associated with inferior survival outcomes. Furthermore, less than 12 months of CPI consolidation can result in MRD negativity and high rates of long term PFS. Clinical trial information: NCT03285321.

Comparison of the treatment results in patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer in clinical trials and in standard clinical practice using the pseudorandomization method

Rationale: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an aggressive disease with median survival of 1214 months in inoperable patients in the pre-immunotherapy era. Nowadays, under treatment with checkpoint inhibitors median survival is 1922 months. However, only a proportion of patients are sensitive to immune therapy. In this regard, inclusion into clinical trials remains a priority option for patients from medical perspective.&#x0D; Aim: To compare the results in NSCLC patients treated in accordance with the current clinical guidelines and in international clinical trials using the propensity score matching.&#x0D; Materials and methods: The study included data from 344 patients with histologically verified unresectable advanced NSCLC without activating mutations, who received the 1st line systemic medical therapy at various combinations (single agent chemotherapy, platinum doublet-based therapy, chemoimmunotherapy, single agent immunotherapy) within the compulsory health insurance (CHI), and from 90 patients, who received therapy in clinical trials. A direct comparison of long-term treatment results was carried out with the log-rank method. To exclude any influence of individual factors on survival rates, an univariate regression analysis and pseudorandomization accounting for these factors were carried out.&#x0D; Results: The direct comparison of the treatment results showed a higher progression-free survival rate in the patients treated according to clinical trial protocols, than in those treated under CHI (13.3 [95% confidence interval (CI) 8.118.5] months vs 6.4 [95% CI 5.96.9] months). Pseudorandomization of patients based on a combination of statistically significant parameters from the CHI and clinical trial groups showed a significantly longer time to progression in the trial group (13.3 [95% CI 8.318.3] vs 6.3 [95% CI 4.87.7] months).&#x0D; Conclusion: Participation in clinical trials is per se a factor that can significantly impact the longer duration of the treatment effect. This indicates the necessity of the most active use of this tool in clinical practice.

Relmacabtagene Autoleucel CD19 CART Therapy for Adults with Heavily-Pretreated Relapsed/Refractory Large B-Cell Lymphoma in China

IntroductionPrognosis for relapsed and refractory large B-cell lymphoma (r/r LBCL) is poor, and treatment remains challenging. Relmacabtagene autoleucel (relma-cel) is a CD19-directed 4-1BB/CD3z chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) product manufactured in China. RELIANCE study is the first CAR-T study with CD19 as target that got IND approved by the authority in China. Initial findings of the pivotal Phase 2 single-arm, multicenter RELIANCE trial demonstrated high response rates and low rates of CAR-T-associated toxicity with relma-cel treatment in heavily pretreated patients (pts) with r/r LBCL (NCT04089215; Ying et al. Cancer Med 2020;10:999-1011). Long-term follow-up data for the RELIANCE study are presented.Materials & MethodsFifty-nine adults (age ≥18 years) with heavily pretreated (≥2 prior therapies), measurable and histologically confirmed r/r LBCL were randomized to receive lymphodepletion chemotherapy (LDC: fludarabine 25 mg/m 2 + cyclophosphamide 250 mg/m 2 daily×3) followed by a single infusion of autologous CAR+ T cells at a dose of 100×10 6 or 150×10 6. Pts were evaluated for efficacy using Lugano criteria and for toxicity using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.03 and for cytokine release syndrome (CRS) using Lee et al. (Blood 2014;124(2):188-95). Primary endpoint was 3-month objective response rate (ORR); key secondary endpoints included complete response rate (CRR) at 3 months, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) profile. The data cutoff date was December 31, 2020.ResultsAt the time of analysis, all 59 pts (median age 56.0 years, range 18-75 years) were at least 15 months post-treatment with relma-cel (7 pts completed trial, 34 pts on study, 18 pts withdrew). Among the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population of 58 efficacy-evaluable pts, best ORR was 77.6%, with a best CRR of 51.7%; ORR and CRR at 3-month-postdose landmark were 60.3% and 44.8%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 17.9 months (range 0.3-25.6 months), median PFS (mITT) was 7.0 months (95% CI 4.8-not reached [NR]). Median PFS was NR (95% CI 8.8 months-NR) for pts with compete response (CR) at 3 months, the 6-, 12-, 18- and 24-month PFS rates were 80.8%, 69.2%, 69.2% and 69.2%, respectively (Figure). PFS was associated with objective response or CR at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months (log-rank test, p≤0.002). Median OS was NR (95% CI NR-NR) for both the mITT population and pts with CR at 3 months (12-month OS rate, 76.8% and 92.3%, respectively). Median DOR was NR (95% CI 4.9 months-NR) for the mITT population and (95% CI 8.0 months-NR) for pts with CR at 3 months. Levels of CAR-T cells declined to below the level of quantification (BLQ) in 41 (69.5%) pts, among whom nearly 40% had sustained response. Median time from documentation of CAR-T BLQ to disease progression was 6.1 months (95% CI 1.8-NR). Treatment-related TEAEs were reported in 93.2% of pts and were primarily grade 1-2 (89.8% pts); 54.2% of pts had grade ≥3 TEAEs. Pyrexia was the most common TEAE, reported in 59.3% of pts (all grade 1-2). The most common grade ≥3 treatment-related TEAEs were neutrophil count decrease (30.5%) and white blood cell (WBC) count decrease (13.6%). Presence of cytopenia at day 29 (78.0%) was significantly associated with WBC count after LDC, change in serum albumin between days 1 and 4 and serum interleukin 8 after LDC (p<0.05). The incidence of CRS and neurotoxicity (NT) was 47.5% and 20.3%, respectively, both primarily grade 1-2. There were no CRS- or NT-related deaths. Occurrence of grade ≥2 CRS or NT (11.9% and 6.8%, respectively) was significantly associated with fold-change of platelet count on day 4 compared with baseline and day 1 absolute neutrophil count (p<0.03). There were no treatment-related deaths.ConclusionsThese are the first data of long-term follow-up CD19 CAR-T study with IND approval in China reported. With nearly 18 months of median follow-up, the RELIANCE pivotal registered study demonstrated durable responses, high rates of OS and PFS, and no new safety profile found in r/r LBCL pts. Based on these data, relma-cel is undergoing approval in China.

Adrenal Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in the Management of Oligometastatic Lung Cancer: Patient Selection Matters

Adrenal metastases are commonly identified in the context of primary lung cancer. Recent literature has shown stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to improve progression free survival (PFS) in the setting of oligometastatic disease. Multiple studies have shown the efficacy and safety of adrenal SBRT. However, patient selection criteria are not well defined. We investigated the various patient selection criteria for adrenal SBRT and their associations with PFS.We examined a cohort of patients with stage IV oligometastatic primary lung cancer with adrenal metastases who were consecutively treated with 5-fraction SBRT (n = 19). Multiple characteristics were selected for examination prior to data collection and PFS calculation. We considered 1) age 2) performance status 3) size greater than 4cm 4) presence of other metastases at adrenal metastasis diagnosis 5) presence of brain metastases at adrenal metastasis diagnosis 6) time to adrenal metastasis progression from primary diagnoses.Eighteen patients completed their treatments of 5-fraction adrenal SBRT with a median dose of 4500 cGy (range from 3500 cGy to 500 cGy). One patient had a course of SBRT to each adrenal gland. Completion rate was 100% and there was no grade two or higher acute toxicities. Small bowel 0.03cc max dose ranged from 230 cGy to 3410 cGy with a median dose of 2350 cGy. Median PFS was 4.7 months. PFS was the same for patients with and without brain metastases at adrenal progression (P = 0.133). There were also no significant differences found in PFS when observing patients with adrenal progression within one year and greater than one year of initial diagnosis (P = 0.474). Similarly, PFS did not change when comparing patients with adrenal lesions greater than 4cm to patients with adrenal lesion less than or equal to 4cm (P = 0.477). PFS trended towards significance for patients older than 70 compared to patients who were 70 or younger (6.6 months vs 12.4 months, P = 0.09). Additionally, PFS was significant for patients with ECOG 2 or higher compared to patients with ECOG less than 2 (1.4 months vs 11.5 months, P = 0.027). Patients without additional metastatic disease at the time of progression had better PFS than patients with additional metastatic disease (18 months vs 7 months, P = 0.016).Patients with an ECOG score of 0 or 1 who did not have additional metastases at the time of adrenal metastasis exhibited a higher progression free survival rate after adrenal SBRT. Despite the small sample size, this study showed that appropriate patient selection for adrenal SBRT can lead to good long-term progression free survival with very minimal toxicity if any.
