15PTr1-like cells in human peripheral blood are part of the T effector memory pool and are preferentially stimulated via CD55
ConclusionsWe have also demonstrated that these cells respond specifically to costimulation via CD97-CD55 to drive proliferation and maintain the IL-10 single positive, Tr1 phenotype outlined above. This supports the idea that once differentiated from na ïve precursors, Tr1-like cells respond to CD55 costimulation to maintain a small (<5%) pool with a committed IL-10+ IL-4-IFN- γ- phenotype.Legal entity responsible for the studyThe University of Nottingham.FundingThe Commonwealth Scholarships Commission, London.DisclosureAll authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

1143PInduction chemotherapy (IC) followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)
ConclusionsLRA-NPC patients treated with IC followed by CCRT have a high locoregional control (LRC) rate. Despite the use of IC distant control remains insufficient and continues to be a challenge in NPC. Besides improving LRC, more effective systemic therapy is needed.Legal entity responsible for the studyMusa Altun, MD.FundingHas not received any funding.DisclosureAll authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

1590TiPSafety, tolerability and activity of autologous T-cells with enhanced T-cell receptors specific to NY ESO 1/LAGE 1a (GSK3377794) alone, or in combination with pembrolizumab, in advanced non-small cell lung cancer: A phase Ib/IIa randomised pilot study
AbstractBackgroundNY-ESO-1 and LAGE-1a are antigens expressed in several tumours, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Previous clinical trials using autologous T cells directed against NY-ESO-1/LAGE-1a have shown objective responses between 40% and 60% in synovial sarcoma, metastatic melanoma and multiple myeloma. Pembrolizumab (PEM) is a monoclonal antibody that blocks PD-1/PD-L1 interaction and increases anti-tumour activity in anti-tumour T cells. Here, PEM will be used in combination with NY-ESO-1/LAGE-1a T-cell receptor engineered patient T cells (GSK3377794) to potentially improve clinical benefit in this p...

252PClinical features of early-stage (I-III) triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients with tumours exhibiting low-overall change in molecular profile after neoadjuvant therapy
ConclusionsPatients with low-overall change in their tumors had later-stage disease and higher AR expression. Previous analysis by Seth et al. has demonstrated a lower pCR rate in this group with standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This analysis highlights the potential role of androgen deprivation in this class of tumors.Legal entity responsible for the studyThe authors.FundingThe University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Moonshots Program and a CPRIT Multi-Investigator Research Award (MIRA).DisclosureS.

1591TiPIFCT-1701 DICIPLE: A randomized phase III trial comparing continuation nivolumab-Ipilimumab doublet immunotherapy until progression versus observation in patients with PDL1-positive stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after nivolumab-ipilimumab induction treatment
AbstractBackgroundWe raise the hypothesis that a STOP and GO strategy with induction by double immunotherapy Nivolumab + Ipilimumab combination during 6 months, followed by observation in patients with disease control (DC) at 6 months, would not be inferior to immunotherapy combination continuation until progression or unacceptable toxicity, in terms of progression-free survival, allowing lower toxicities cumulative rates, better quality of life and lower costs. Such strategy should not penalize overall survival, provided resuming immunotherapy at disease progression before second-line platinum-based chemotherapy.Trial des...

ConclusionsThe combination of LUR and IRI is well tolerated, with no unexpected toxicities. Myelosuppression was dose-limiting, but predictable and manageable. The RD is LUR 2.0  mg/m2 on D1 + IRI 75  mg/m2 on D1 and D8 q3w with GCSF. Notable antitumor activity was observed, especially in SCLC, EC, GB and STS.

ConclusionsUpregulation of IL6/STAT3 signaling axis promotes expression of Glut3 and glycolytic genes. Elevation of Glut3 in TNBC induces macrophage activation and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

1592TiPATALANTE-1 randomized phase III trial, OSE-2101 versus standard treatment as second or third-line in HLA-A2 positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients
AbstractBackgroundMoving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in first-line setting in advanced NSCLC, new treatment strategies are needed for patients who progress on treatment with ICI. Tedopi ® (OSE-2101) is a neoepitope vaccine restricted to HLA-A2 positive patients (∼45% of NSCLC) targeting five tumor-associated antigens expressed in lung cancer cells: ACE, HER2, MAGE2, MAGE3 and P53. In a phase II trial (Barve et al. JCO 2008), Tedopi® showed a median overall survival (OS) of 17.3 months with a manageable safety profile in pre-treated advanced NSCLC patients. ATALANTE-1 (NCT02654587) is a randomized, open-label, ph...
