88P A study on analysis of clinical efficacy factor and exploring prognostic factors for reimbursement policy after immunotherapy being introduced in South Korea
ConclusionThis study's clinical benefit and toxicity for mNSCLC were comparable to those of clinical trials, although population tended to be more heavily treated and have poorer performance status. A favorable outcome could be expected in patients accompanying irAE during immunotherapy and unfavorable in patients who got previous RT. Reimbursement's PD-L1 criteria might be rational according to this study but need further study and analysis.Legal entity responsible for the studyHIRA.FundingHas not received any funding.DisclosureThe author has declared no conflicts of interest.

96P Clearance of HPV anal premalignant lesions and modulation of systemic immune responses to HPV oncogenes with low dose pomalidomide
ConclusionLow dose oral pomalidomide was well tolerated and induced durable continuing clearance of anal HSIL of multiple genotypes in even in chronic extensive disease. Induction of HPV-specific CD4+ responses and immune activation support an immunological mechanism of action. Immunotherapy with pomalidomide is a promising approach to prevention of anal cancer and potentially other HPV cancers.Clinical trial identificationNCT3113942.Legal entity responsible for the studyKirby Institute, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.FundingCancer Institute of New South Wales.DisclosureAll authors have declared no confli...

19P The prognostic nutritional index and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio as prognostic factors in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with immunotherapy
ConclusionPNI ≥50 was predictive of a better PFS and OS and the NLR wasńt a predictor of survival. Regarding OS, PNI ≥50 was an independent survival prognostic factor. In order to understand the impact of this biomarker in NSCLC treated with ICI, it is important to evaluate it in more studies with a larger p opulation and prolonged follow-up time.Legal entity responsible for the studyThe authors.FundingHas not received any funding.DisclosureAll authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

90TiP FRAIL-IMMUNE: A multicenter, prospective, single arm phase II of the combination of durvalumab with carboplatin and paclitaxel as first-line treatment in patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck not eligible to standard chemotherapy (GORTEC 2018-03)
AbstractBackgroundOne third of patients with (R/M SCCHN) are not eligible to receive the standard first-line chemotherapy EXTREME (cisplatin, fluorouracile and cetuximab). In this population, the weekly scheme of carboplatin-paclitaxel demonstrated clinical efficacy an overall survival (OS) of 4.9-12.8 months and a response rate of 20-52%. In a study conducted in our center, patients ineligible to EXTREME due to performance status (PS) 2 or other reasons (excluding PS2) reached a median OS of 3.6 months and 11.5 months, respectively.Trial DesignA prospective, multicenter, single-arm phase II trial to study the efficacy and...

3O A pre-existing inflammatory immune microenvironment predicts the clinical and immunological response of vulvar high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions to therapeutic HPV16 peptide vaccination
ConclusionClinical responsiveness to therapeutic HPV16 SLP vaccination requires a pre-existing inflamed type 1 immune contexture in vHSIL. Hence, only patients with an inflamed TME should be selected for monotherapy by therapeutic vaccination, since this strategy is incapable of creating an inflamed TME in patients where this is absent.Legal entity responsible for the studyThe authors.FundingLeiden University Medical Center.DisclosureS.H. van der Burg: Advisory / Consultancy: ISA Pharmaceuticals.

115P Therapeutic efficacy of combining the tumour checkpoint controller BAL101553 (lisavanbulin) and immunomodulation in two mouse glioma models with different immunological status
ConclusionCombination GBM therapies that include immunomodulation will likely require selection of patients according to immunological characteristics. Most clinical exploration of immunomodulators focusses on enhancing T-cell mediated anti-tumour immunity but our data suggest that synergistic combination of a tumour checkpoint controller and immunostimulation can be appropriate for poorly immunogenic GBM that is refractory to T-cell control.Legal entity responsible for the studyThe authors.FundingBasilea Pharmaceutica Ltd.DisclosureP.
