ABSTRACT
TPS430 Background: Anti-VEGFR2 antibody (ramucirumab) has efficacy in gastric cancer (GC), both as monotherapy & combination with paclitaxel based on the REGARD RAINBOW trials that led to its FDA approvals 2 nd line setting. Preclinical data demonstrate significant tumor immune microenvironment modulatory effects from antiangiogenic agents, supporting clinical study of dual VEGFR checkpoint blockade. This resulted at least 7 FDA-approved combinations anti-VEGF/VEGFR anti-PD-1/PD-L1 agents lung, renal, endometrial liver cancers. Recent showed encouraging activity ramucirumab plus nivolumab other pembrolizumab and durvalumab GC esophageal adenocarcinoma. Notably, addition was evaluated a multi-center phase I/II trial. Study population consisted 60% (26/43) harboring tumors positive for PD-L1 CPS ≥ 1. Results revealed (ORR 37.2%, 6-month PFS 46.5%) overall population. Median OS were found be numerically higher 1 (6.4 months 13.8 respectively) compared CPS-negative participants (5.1 8.0 months), suggesting predictive impact this treatment Methods: SWOG2303 is national, randomized, open label, II/III trial assess safety + versus adult patients advanced stage MSS/pMMR Patients must have documented MSI status by standard care tissue-based analysis, evaluable disease imaging, Zubrod performance (PS) 0-1.
