e22008 Background: Oral temozolomide capsule is approved for the treatment of glioma and malignant glioblastoma in adults and in Europe in children over 3-years. As recommended by international pediatric medical associations, temozolomide is also used for the treatment of high-risk relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma, a solid tumor affecting young children. Nevertheless, capsules are not adapted to the pediatric population leading caregivers to handle temozolomide capsules, which bears major risks (i.e. dose inaccuracy, temozolomide instability and exposure to cytotoxic drug). To overcome this situation, a temozolomide oral suspension (Kimozo) was developed. The aim of this phase I study was to demonstrate bioequivalence between the temozolomide oral suspension and the temozolomide capsules (Temodal) and to assess the general and local safety in adult patients. Methods: A randomized, open-label, two-way crossover, single-dose bioequivalence study was performed in 8 centers. Adult patients with primary malignancies and treated with temozolomide 200 mg/m² as monotherapy received a single oral administration of the oral suspension (test) or capsule (reference) on days 1 and 2 of a 5-day cycle, depending on the randomization, and under fasting conditions. Fourteen blood samples were collected over 10-hr in each period for pharmacokinetic purpose. General and buccal safety was assessed along the study. The assessment of bioequivalence was based upon 90% confidence intervals (CI) for the ratio of the population geometric means (test/reference) for maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC0-t). Results: Among the thirty-six patients enrolled in the study, thirty were assessable for pharmacokinetic primary endpoint. The point estimate and the 90% CI of the ratios of Cmax and AUC0-t were 107.62 (98.07-118.09) and 97.18 (95.05-99.35), respectively. The results obtained satisfy the bioequivalence criteria of the Bioequivalence Guidelines (90% CI between 80.00% and 125.00%). Neither serious adverse events nor adverse events of special interest (i.e. mucositis) were reported. Conclusions: The oral suspension of temozolomide (Kimozo) and capsule of temozolomide (Temodal) are bioequivalent under fasting conditions in patients with CNS primary malignancies, supporting that they are therapeutic equivalent.

2049 Background: hPG80 (circulating progastrin) is a protein secreted by many cancer types, playing a role in tumorigenesis by regulating cancer stem cells, angiogenesis, proliferation/differentiation and decreasing apoptosis. hPG80 is detectable in plasma of cancer patients and previous studies have shown its prognostic role in various cancers. Given the lack of circulating biomarker in glioblastoma, we evaluated the prognostic value of plasma hPG80 in patients with IDH wild type glioblastoma Methods: This multicentric retrospective study included IDHwt glioblastoma patients treated with standard radio-chemotherapy. The ELISA DxPG80.lab kit (Biodena Care, Lausanne, Switzerland) was used to measure hPG80 levels after surgery with a detection threshold of 1 pM in all plasma EDTA samples according to the manufacturer’s instruction. The prognostic impact of hPG80 was evaluated on patient’s progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: We included 70 patients (38 males /32 women) with a median age of 64 years (Range 19 - 84). Karnofsky index was > 70% in 52 (91%) of 57 evaluable patients. Tumor biopsy (B), partial resection (PR), complete resection (CR) were performed in 22, 25 and 23 patients respectively. MGMT promotor was methylated in 22 (40%) of the 55 evaluable patients. After surgery, hPG80 was detected in 48 (69%) patients (hPG80+) with a median concentration of 9.52 pM (IQR 5.21 - 21.20). Complete surgery was associated with undetectable levels of hPG80 (52% (CR) vs 28% (PR) vs 14% (B), p = 0.006) and lower concentration if hPG80+ (CR: 5.8 pM [IQR 1.92 - 11.38] vs PR: 12.84 pM [IQR 8.09 - 37.09]; p = 0.04 vs B: 9.86 pM [IQR 4.66 - 21.63]; p = 0.16). With a median follow-up of 39 months (22.4-NR), 86% of patients had progressed and 70% had died. In univariate analysis, hPG80 positivity was associated with PFS (5.6m vs 8.5m, p = 0.053) and OS (14.5 vs 22m, p = 0.04) in hPG80+ vs hPG80- patients respectively. hPG80+ patients with complete surgery had worse median OS than hPG80- patients (14.5 vs 22.0 m; p = 0.051 respectively. Cox proportional hazards model did not fit for covariate analysis. Conclusions: Our findings show that hPG80 could serve as a new circulating prognostic biomarker in IDHwt glioblastoma patients treated with radio-chemotherapy. Further explorations are ongoing in larger cohorts including longitudinal evaluation during the course of the disease.

589 Background: The Katherine trial has shown that adjuvant T-DM1 improved invasive disease free survival (iDFS) of patients with HER2+ breast cancer who did not achieve a pathological complete response (pCR) with trastuzumab-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). However, some subgroups may benefit less from this treatment escalation. Methods: All HER2+ breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab-based NAC between 2006 and 2016 were retrieved from our institution’s database. Neo- or adjuvant T-DM1 was an exclusion criterion. We then selected the patients who did not achieve a pCR and analyzed the outcome (iDFS and overall survival (OS)) according to ypT, ypN and several factors analyzed in the Katherine trial. Results: Out of the 182 patients, 117 patients reached the inclusion criteria. Patient’s characteristics were similar to the trastuzumab arm of the Katherine trial. With a median follow-up of 75.4 months (29.3–149.7), 28 events (24%) occurred, among which 22 distant relapses. In univariate analysis, ≤ypT1 vs > ypT1, ypN0 vs ypN+, no capsular rupture, signs of histological response (Sataloff not D in T or N) were associated with a better iDFS. In multivariate analysis, only ypT status remained significant. Of note, patients with ≤ypT1 (ypTis, ypT0, ypTmic, ypT1) (n = 81; 69%) had an excellent outcome: 3 years (y) and 5y iDFS rates of 90% (83.6-96.8) and 88.6% (81.9-95.9) respectively. The remaining patients (n = 36; 31%) had a significantly lower 3y and 5y iDFS: 69.2% (55.6-86.2) and 59.5% (45-78.6) respectively (p = 0.0017). OS in a multivariate analysis was also improved in pts with the smaller residual and/or node negative disease (3y OS rates of 100% (100-100) vs 92.1% (85.7-99); 5y OS rates of 96% (90.7-100) vs 81.1% (71.6-91.9); p = 0.02). Conclusions: In the absence of pCR after trastuzumab-based NAC, patients with pathological response scored as ≤ypT1 (ypTis,ypT0, ypTmic, ypT1) have an excellent outcome. These patients may derive less benefit from adjuvant T-DM1.
