We present results of the phase 3 KEYNOTE- 181 study of pembrolizumab vs investigator’s choice chemo as second-line therapy for patients (pts) with advanced/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or Siewert type I adenocarcinoma of the EGJ (NCT02564263). Methods: Eligible pts were randomized 1:1 to pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W for up to 2 years or investigator’s choice chemo of paclitaxel, docetaxel, or irinotecan. Randomization was stratified by histology (SCC vs adenocarcinoma) and region (Asia vs rest of world). Primary end points were OS in the SCC, PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) $10, and ITT populations. Results: 628 pts were randomized including 401 with SCC, and 222 with CPS $10. As of October 15, 2018, the median follow-up was 7.1 mo (pembrolizumab) vs 6.9 mo (chemo). Pembrolizumab was superior to chemo for OS in CPS $10 (N=222; median 9.3 vs 6.7 mo; HR 0.69; 95% CI 0.52-0.93; P=0.0074). The 12-mo OS rate in pts with CPS $10 was 43% vs 20%. There was clinically meaningful improvement in OS with pembrolizumab vs chemo in pts with SCC, but this was not statistically significant per prespecified boundaries (N=401; 8.2 mo vs 7.1 mo; HR 0.78; 95% CI 0.63-0.96; P=0.0095). In the ITT population, while directionally favorable, the difference in OS was not statistically significant (N=628; 7.1 mo vs 7.1 mo; HR 0.89; 95% CI 0.75-1.05; P=0.0560). Fewer pts had any-grade (64% vs 86%) or grade 3-5 (18% vs 41%) drug-related AEs with pembrolizumab vs chemo. Conclusion: Pembrolizumab significantly improved OS compared with chemo as second-line therapy for advanced esophageal cancer with PD-L1 CPS $10, with a more favorable safety profile. These data support pembroli- zumab as a new second-line standard of care for esophageal cancer with PD-L1 CPS $10. The phase 3 KEYNOTE-590 study of pembrolizumab plus chemo as first-line therapy for advanced esoph- ageal cancer is ongoing (NCT03189719).

In an earlier single-arm Japanese phase 2 trial in mGC, no differences were found in the pharmacokinetics of either FTD or TPI in pts with or without prior gastrectomy. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of FTD/TPI in pts with or without prior gastrectomy within the TAGS study. Methods: In this global phase 3 study of adult pts with mGC who had received $ 2 prior regimens of chemotherapy, pts were randomized 2:1 to receive FTD/TPI (35 mg/m2 BID on days 1–5 and 8–12 of each 28-day cycle) or placebo, plus best supportive care. We performed a preplanned analysis of efficacy and safety endpoints in pt subgroups with or without prior gastrectomy. Results: Of 507 randomized pts, 221 (44%) had a prior gastrectomy (FTD/TPI, 147/337; placebo, 74/170). Baseline pt characteristics were balanced across pt subgroups. FTD/TPI prolonged survival versus placebo regardless of gastrectomy (table). The frequency of neutropenia/leukopenia appeared to be higher among FTD/TPI-treated pts with vs without gastrectomy, but this did not result in more treatment discontinuations (table). Conclusions: In the TAGS study, subgroup analysis demonstrated that FTD/TPI is an effective treatment option with a manageable safety profile for pts with heavily pretreated mGC, regardless of prior gastrectomy.

A phase I/Ib study of mFOLFOX6 + ADX revealed encouraging antitumor activity in patients (pts) with gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma (median first-line, progression-free survival [PFS] of 9.9 months). Methods: This phase 3, randomized, double-blind, multicenter study investigated the efficacy and safety of mFOLFOX6 with/without ADX in pts with untreated HER2-negative gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma. Randomization was 1:1 to mFOLFOX6 + ADX or mFOLFOX6 + placebo (PBO).
