RESUMO
On December 15, 2023, the FDA granted traditional approval to enfortumab vedotin-ejfv plus pembrolizumab (EV + Pembro) for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (la/mUC). Substantial evidence of effectiveness was obtained from EV-302/KEYNOTE-A39 (NCT04223856), an open-label, randomized, trial evaluating EV + Pembro versus cisplatin or carboplatin plus gemcitabine (Plat + Gem) in patients with previously untreated la/mUC. A total of 886 patients were randomized (1:1) to receive EV 1.25 mg/kg intravenously on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity plus pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously on day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to 35 cycles, or Plat + Gem for up to 6 cycles. Dual primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) determined by blinded independent central review and overall survival (OS). Median PFS was 12.5 months (95% CI: 10.4, 16.6) in the EV + Pembro arm and 6.3 months (95% CI: 6.2, 6.5) in the Plat + Gem arm (HR 0.450 [95% CI: 0.377, 0.538]; p-value < 0.0001). Median OS was 31.5 months (95% CI: 25.4, NE) in the EV + Pembro arm and 16.1 months (95% CI: 13.9, 18.3) in the Plat + Gem arm (HR 0.468 [95% CI: 0.376, 0.582]; p-value < 0.0001). The safety profile of EV + pembrolizumab was similar to that observed in EV-103/KEYNOTE-869 in cisplatin-ineligible patients with la/mUC. This article summarizes the data and the FDA thought process supporting traditional approval of EV + pembrolizumab, as well as additional exploratory analyses conducted by FDA.

BACKGROUND: The use of electronic health record (EHR) data for research is limited by a lack of structure and a standard data model. The objective of the ICAREdata (Integrating Clinical Trials and Real-World Endpoints Data) project was to structure key research data elements in EHRs using a minimal Common Oncology Data Elements (mCODE) data model to extract and transmit data. METHODS: The ICAREdata project captured two EHR data elements essential to clinical trials: cancer disease status and treatment plan change. The project was implemented in clinical sites participating in Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology trials. Data were extracted from EHRs and sent by secure Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource messaging (a standard for exchanging EHRs) to a database. Selected elements were compared with corresponding data from the trial's electronic data capture (EDC) system, Medidata Rave. RESULTS: By December 2023, data were extracted and transmitted from 10 sites for 35 patients, involving 367 clinical encounters across 15 clinical trials. Data through March 2023 demonstrated that concordance for the elements treatment plan change and cancer disease status was 79% and 34%, respectively. When disease evaluation was reported by both EHR and EDC (n = 15), there was 87% agreement on cancer disease status. CONCLUSIONS: Documentation, extraction, and aggregation of structured data elements in EHRs using mCODE and ICAREdata methods is feasible in multi-institutional cancer clinical trials. EDC as a reference data set allowed assessment of the completeness of EHR data capture. Future initiatives will focus on elements with shared definitions in clinical and research environments and efficient workflows. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Clinical trials use electronic case report forms to report data, and data must be manually entered on these forms, which is costly and time consuming. ICAREdata methods use structured, organized data from clinical trials that can be more easily shared instead having to enter free text into electronic health records.

On September 2, 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved durvalumab in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine, for the treatment of patients with unresectable or metastatic biliary tract cancers (BTC). On October 31, 2023, the FDA approved pembrolizumab in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine for the same indication. Approvals were based on two randomized, multiregional, placebo-controlled trials that randomly allocated patients to receive durvalumab (TOPAZ-1) or pembrolizumab (KEYNOTE-966) in combination with chemotherapy or placebo in combination with chemotherapy. Overall survival (OS) was the primary endpoint in both studies. In both studies, a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in OS was demonstrated. In the TOPAZ-1 trial, the median OS of patients receiving durvalumab was 12.8 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 11.1-14.0] and 11.5 months (95% CI, 10.1-12.5) in patients receiving placebo [hazard ratio (HR), 0.80 (95% CI, 0.66-0.97)]. In the KEYNOTE-966 trial, the median OS of patients receiving pembrolizumab was 12.7 months (95% CI, 11.5-13.6) and 10.9 months (95% CI, 9.9-11.6) in patients receiving placebo [HR, 0.83 (95% CI, 0.72-0.95)]. The addition of checkpoint inhibitors to standard of care chemotherapy for this indication did not reveal any new adverse event signals, and the safety profile was generally consistent with the known clinical experience with durvalumab, pembrolizumab, and the backbone chemotherapy regimen. The approvals of durvalumab and pembrolizumab in combination with standard of care cisplatin and gemcitabine for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic BTC add two new therapeutic options for these patients.

On November 15, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted traditional approval to repotrectinib (Augtyro, Bristol Myers Squibb Corporation) for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic receptor tyrosine kinase encoded by the ROS1 gene (ROS1)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The approval was based on TRIDENT-1, a single-arm trial with multiple cohorts of patients with ROS1 fusion-positive (hereafter "ROS1-positive") NSCLC (NCT03093116), who were either treatment naïve or had received prior ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) and/or platinum-based chemotherapy. The primary efficacy outcome measure is objective response rate (ORR) assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) using response evaluation criteria in solid tumors version 1.1. ORR was assessed in 71 patients who were ROS1 TKI naïve and 56 patients who had received a prior ROS1 TKI. Among the 71 patients who were ROS1 TKI naïve, the ORR was 79% (95% CI, 68-88), median duration of response was 34.1 months (95% CI, 26-NE). In patients who had received a prior ROS1 TKI and no prior chemotherapy, the ORR was 38% (95% CI, 25-52). The median duration of response was 14.8 months (95% CI, 7.6-NE); BICR-assessed responses were observed in CNS metastases in patients in both cohorts and in patients who developed resistance mutations following prior TKI therapy. The most common (>20%) adverse reactions were dizziness, dysgeusia, peripheral neuropathy, constipation, dyspnea, ataxia, fatigue, cognitive disorders, and muscular weakness. A unique feature of this ROS1 TKI approval is the inclusion of robust evidence of efficacy in patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC who had progressed on prior ROS1 TKIs.

On December 13, 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved eflornithine (IWILFIN, US WorldMeds) to reduce the risk of relapse in adult and pediatric patients with high-risk neuroblastoma who have demonstrated at least a partial response to prior multiagent, multimodality therapy including anti-GD2 immunotherapy. The approval was based on an externally controlled trial (ECT) consisting of a single-arm trial, study 3(b), compared with an external control (EC) derived from a National Cancer Institute/Children's Oncology Group-sponsored clinical trial (Study ANBL0032) and supported by confirmatory evidence. In the protocol-specified primary analysis, the event-free survival hazard ratio (HR) was 0.48 (95% CI, 0.27 to 0.85) and overall survival HR was 0.32 (95% CI, 0.15 to 0.70). The most common adverse reactions (≥5%) were hearing loss, otitis media, pyrexia, pneumonia, and diarrhea. Notably, this is the first oncology drug approval which relies on an ECT as the primary clinical data to support substantial evidence of effectiveness. This was made possible by a distinctly high-quality, comparable EC data set with consistent treatment effect estimations demonstrated in multiple sensitivity and supportive analyses. Eflornithine's manageable safety profile and strong nonclinical and mechanistic data provided further support for the approval, and the evidentiary package was evaluated in the context of high unmet need in a rare, life-threatening cancer.

On November 8, 2023, the FDA approved fruquintinib, an inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-1, -2, and -3, for the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have been previously treated with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy, an anti-VEGF therapy, and if RAS wild-type and medically appropriate, an anti-EGFR therapy. Approval was based on Study FRESCO-2, a globally conducted, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). The key secondary endpoint was progression-free survival. A total of 691 patients were randomly assigned (461 and 230 into the fruquintinib and placebo arms, respectively). Fruquintinib provided a statistically significant improvement in OS with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.66 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.55, 0.80; P < 0.001]. The median OS was 7.4 months (95% CI, 6.7, 8.2) in the fruquintinib arm and 4.8 months (95% CI, 4.0, 5.8) for the placebo arm. Adverse events observed were generally consistent with the known safety profile associated with the inhibition of VEGFR. The results of FRESCO-2 were supported by the FRESCO study, a double-blind, single-country, placebo-controlled, randomized trial in patients with refractory mCRC who have been previously treated with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy. In FRESCO, the OS HR was 0.65 (95% CI, 0.51, 0.83; P < 0.001). FDA concluded that the totality of the evidence from FRESCO-2 and FRESCO supported an indication for patients with mCRC with prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy, an anti-VEGF biological therapy, and if RAS wild-type and medically appropriate, an anti-EGFR therapy.

PURPOSE: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved talazoparib with enzalutamide for first-line treatment of patients with homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The approval was based on the HRR gene-mutated (HRRm) population of TALAPRO-2, a randomized, double-blind trial that randomly assigned 1,035 patients with mCRPC to receive enzalutamide with either talazoparib or placebo. Two cohorts enrolled sequentially: an all-comer population (Cohort 1), followed by an HRRm-only population (Cohort 2). The independent primary end points were radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) per blinded independent central review (BICR) in Cohort 1 (all-comers) and in the combined HRRm population (all HRRm patients from Cohorts 1 and 2). Overall survival (OS) was a key secondary end point. RESULTS: A statistically significant improvement in rPFS by BICR was demonstrated in both the all-comers cohort and the combined HRRm population, with hazard ratio (HR) of 0.63 (95% CI, 0.51 to 0.78; P < .0001) and 0.45 (95% CI, 0.33 to 0.61; P < .0001), respectively. In an exploratory analysis of the 155 patients with BRCA-mutated (BRCAm) mCRPC, rPFS HR was 0.20 (95% CI, 0.11 to 0.36). In the non-HRRm/unknown stratum of Cohort 1 (n = 636), the rPFS HR was 0.70 (95% CI, 0.54 to 0.89). OS was immature. CONCLUSION: Despite a statistically significant rPFS improvement in the all-comer cohort, FDA did not consider the magnitude of rPFS clinically meaningful in the context of the broad indication, combination treatment, and safety profile. Approval was therefore limited to patients with HRRm mCRPC, for whom there was a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in rPFS and favorable OS results. This represents the first approval for the first-line treatment of patients with HRRm mCRPC.

BACKGROUND: This pooled analysis of patient-level data from trials evaluated the clinical outcomes of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma with or without cytoreductive nephrectomy before a combination of immune checkpoint inhibitor and antiangiogenic therapy. METHODS: Data from 5 trials of immune checkpoint inhibitors plus antiangiogenic therapy were pooled. Only patients with stage 4 disease at initial diagnosis were included to ensure that nephrectomy was performed for cytoreductive purposes and not to previously treat an earlier stage of disease. The effect of cytoreductive nephrectomy before immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy on outcomes was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method and a Cox proportional hazards regression model, adjusted for age, sex, risk group, performance status, and the presence of sarcomatoid differentiation. RESULTS: A total of 981 patients were included. The estimated median progression-free survival with and without nephrectomy was 15 and 11 months, respectively; the adjusted hazard ratio was 0.71 (95% confidence interval = 0.59 to 0.85). The estimated median overall survival with and without nephrectomy was 46 and 28 months, respectively; the adjusted hazard ratio was 0.63 (95% confidence interval = 0.51 to 0.77). Objective response was 60% of patients with vs 46% of patients without cytoreductive nephrectomy. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma who undergo cytoreductive nephrectomy before immune checkpoint inhibitor plus antiangiogenic therapy had improved outcomes compared with patients without cytoreductive nephrectomy. Selection factors for cytoreductive nephrectomy may be prognostic and could not be fully controlled for in this retrospective analysis. Prospective determination of and stratification by prior cytoreductive nephrectomy may be considered when designing clinical trials to assess the impact of this factor on prognosis.

On April 3, 2023, the FDA granted accelerated approval to enfortumab vedotin-ejfv (EV) plus pembrolizumab for treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who are ineligible for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy. Substantial evidence of effectiveness was obtained from EV-103/KEYNOTE-869 (NCT03288545), a multicohort study. Across cohorts, a total of 121 patients received EV 1.25 mg/kg (maximum of 125 mg) intravenously on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle plus pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously on day 1 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome measures were objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR), determined by blinded independent central review using RECIST v1.1. The confirmed ORR in 121 patients was 68% (95% confidence interval, 59-76), including 12% with complete responses. The median DoR for the 82 responders was 22 months (range: 1+ to 46+). The safety profile of the combination comprised adverse reactions expected to occur with the corresponding monotherapies, but with overall increased frequency of adverse reactions, including skin toxicity, pneumonitis, and peripheral neuropathy. The article summarizes the data and the FDA thought process supporting accelerated approval of EV + pembrolizumab, as well as additional exploratory analyses conducted by the FDA.

PURPOSE: We performed a pooled analysis of multiple trials of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) to investigate the efficacy of PARPi in each individual homologous recombination repair (HRR) mutated (m) gene. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We pooled patient-level data from trials of PARPi in mCRPC that reported mutation status in individual HRR genes. Any HRR gene with available data across all the randomized trials of PARPi in first-line mCRPC was selected. The hazard ratios (HRs; 95% CI) for radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS; by blinded independent review) and overall survival (OS) of a PARPi plus an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) relative to placebo plus an ARPI in the pool of three randomized trials in first-line mCRPC were calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimates and a Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS: In ATMm (N = 268), rPFS HR was 1.05 (0.74 to 1.49) and OS HR was 1.18 (0.82 to 1.71). In BRCA1m (N = 64), rPFS HR was 0.51 (0.23 to 1.1) and OS HR was 0.74 (0.34 to 1.61). In BRCA2m (N = 422), rPFS HR was 0.31 (0.23 to 0.42) and OS HR was 0.66 (0.49 to 0.89). In CDK12m (N = 164), rPFS HR was 0.50 (0.32 to 0.80) and OS HR was 0.63 (0.39 to 0.99). In CHEK2m (N = 172), rPFS HR was 1.06 (0.67 to 1.66) and OS HR was 1.53 (0.95 to 2.46). In PALB2m (N = 41) rPFS HR was 0.52 (0.23 to 1.17) and OS HR was 0.78 (0.34 to 1.8). CONCLUSION: In this pooled analysis, benefit from PARPi appeared greatest for patients with BRCA1m, BRCA2m, CDK12m, and PALB2m. Given limitations of this exploratory analysis, the apparent lack of benefit from PARPi in patients with CHEK2m or ATMm should be further explored in future clinical trials.

BACKGROUND: Radiographic changes might not fully capture the treatment effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We aimed to assess correlations of overall response rate and progression-free survival with overall survival in trials of ICIs for metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: To assess trial-level and patient-level correlations of overall response rate and progression-free survival with overall survival, we conducted a pooled analysis of first-line randomised trials (including patients aged ≥18 years with metastatic squamous and non-squamous NSCLC and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1) submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration from June 24, 2016, to March 16, 2021. Eligible trials evaluated at least one ICI in the experimental group versus chemotherapy in the control group. At the trial level, we used weighted linear regression to derive coefficients of determination (R2). At the patient level, we used Cox proportional hazards models to compare overall survival between responders versus non-responders per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (version 1.1). FINDINGS: A total of 13 trials including 9285 patients evaluated ICIs alone or in combination with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone. At the trial level, the R2 was 0·61 (95% CI 0·32-0·84) for correlation of overall response rate with overall survival and 0·70 (0·40-0·89) for correlation of progression-free survival with overall survival. Correlations ranged from weak to moderate when evaluating subgroups by PD-L1 expression and were consistent across trials evaluating ICIs alone or in combination with chemotherapy. At the patient level, responders had longer overall survival than non-responders (hazard ratio [HR] 0·28 [95% CI 0·26-0·30]). Among responders, overall survival was longer in patients enrolled in experimental groups than in control groups (HR 0·54 [95% CI 0·48-0·61]). INTERPRETATION: Correlations of overall response rate and progression-free survival with overall survival were generally moderate in this pooled analysis. The findings support routine analysis of mature overall survival data, where feasible, in first-line randomised trials of ICIs for metastatic NSCLC. FUNDING: US Food and Drug Administration.

PURPOSE: A clinically meaningful attribute of some immune-oncology (IO) regimens is potential durable clinical benefit during a treatment-free interval. We characterize treatment-free survival (TFS) with and without ongoing toxicity in trials of frontline IO-VEGF tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) combinations in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Individual patient data were pooled by treatment arm from randomized trials submitted to the FDA evaluating IO-TKI combination in treatment-naïve aRCC with at least 30 months of median follow-up. OS, TFS, TFS with and without toxicity, and time to all protocol therapy cessation were assessed. TFS was estimated by 30-month restricted mean times, defined as area between Kaplan-Meier curves for two time-to-event endpoints originating at randomization: time to all protocol therapy cessation and time to subsequent systemic therapy initiation or death. RESULTS: Three trials met criteria for analysis; 1,183 patients received IO-TKI versus 1,184 on control arms receiving TKI alone (sunitinib, SUN). IO-TKI and SUN groups spent 9% {2.7 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.8-3.5]} and 10% [2.9 months (95% CI, 2.1-3.8)] of the 30-month period alive and treatment-free, respectively. Mean TFS without grade ≥3 toxicity was 1.7 and 2.3 months in IO-TKI and SUN groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In this post hoc partitioned survival analysis, TFS and TFS without toxicity appeared similar in the IO-TKI group compared with the SUN group. These findings may reflect contin-uation of TKI until progression per protocol design in all trials and discontinuation of IO after 2 years in two trials.

In October 2022, the FDA Oncology Center of Excellence hosted an educational symposium entitled, "Considering Functional Outcomes as Efficacy Endpoints in Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma (pLGG) Clinical Trials." The symposium brought together patient advocates, regulators from the FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and an international group of academic thought leaders in the field of pediatric neuro-oncology to discuss the potential role of functional outcomes, including visual acuity, motor function, and neurocognitive performance, as endpoints in clinical trials enrolling patients with pLGG. The panel discussed challenges and opportunities regarding the selection, implementation, and evaluation of clinical outcome assessments in these functional domains and outlined key considerations for their inclusion in future clinical trial design and role in new drug development.

On October 21, 2022, the FDA approved tremelimumab (Imjudo) in combination with durvalumab for adult patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. The approval was based on the results from the HIMALAYA study, in which patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma who were naïve to previous systemic treatment were randomly assigned to receive one of three study arms: tremelimumab in combination with durvalumab (n = 393), durvalumab (n = 389), or sorafenib (n = 389). The primary objective of improvement in overall survival (OS) for tremelimumab in combination with durvalumab compared with sorafenib met statistical significance with a stratified HR of 0.78 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.66-0.92; P = 0.0035]. The median OS was 16.4 months (95% CI, 14.2-19.6) with tremelimumab in combination with durvalumab and 13.8 months (95% CI, 12.3-16.1) with sorafenib. Adverse reactions occurring in ≥20% of patients receiving tremelimumab in combination with durvalumab were rash, fatigue, diarrhea, pruritus, musculoskeletal pain, and abdominal pain. The recommended tremelimumab dose for patients weighing 30 kg or more is 300 mg, i.v., as a single dose in combination with durvalumab 1,500 mg at cycle 1/day 1, followed by durvalumab 1,500 mg, i.v., every 4 weeks. For those weighing less than 30 kg, the recommended tremelimumab dose is 4 mg/kg, i.v., as a single dose in combination with durvalumab 20 mg/kg, i.v., followed by durvalumab 20 mg/kg, i.v., every 4 weeks.

On April 5, 2022, FDA granted accelerated approval to alpelisib for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with severe manifestations of PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) who require systemic therapy. Efficacy was evaluated using real-world data (RWD) from EPIK-P1 (NCT04285723), a single-arm clinical study in patients 2 years of age and older with severe or life-threatening PROS who received alpelisib as part of an expanded access program (EAP) for compassionate use. The primary endpoint was confirmed radiologic response rate at week 24 as determined by blinded independent central review (BICR), using volumetric-based criteria given the atypical growth pattern and irregular shape of PROS lesions. Radiologic response was defined as a ≥20% reduction from baseline in the sum of measurable target lesion volume in up to three lesions. Of the 37 patients in the efficacy population, 27% [95% confidence interval (CI), 14-44] had a radiologic response at week 24. Duration of response (DOR) was an additional efficacy outcome measure, and among responders, 60% had a response lasting ≥12 months. Furthermore, supportive clinical documentation suggested early signals of clinical benefit (i.e., improvement in PROS-related signs and symptoms). The most common (≥10%) adverse reactions were diarrhea, stomatitis, and hyperglycemia.

On March 16, 2023, the FDA approved dabrafenib in combination with trametinib (Tafinlar, Mekinist; Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation) for the treatment of pediatric patients with low-grade glioma (LGG) with a BRAFV600E mutation who require systemic therapy. FDA also approved oral formulations of both drugs suitable for patients who cannot swallow pills. This approval was based on the LGG cohort from study CDRB436G2201 (NCT02684058), a multicenter, open-label trial in which pediatric patients with LGG with a BRAFV600E mutation were randomly assigned 2:1 to dabrafenib plus trametinib (D+T) or carboplatin plus vincristine (C+V). The overall response rate (ORR) by independent review based on Response Assessment in Neuro-oncology LGG (2017) criteria was assessed in 110 patients randomly assigned to D+T (n = 73) or C+V (n = 37). ORR was 47% [95% confidence interval (CI), 35-59] in the D+T arm and 11% (95% CI, 3.0-25) in the C+V arm. Duration of response (DOR) was 23.7 months (95% CI, 14.5-NE) in the D+T arm and not estimable (95% CI, 6.6- NE) in the C+V arm. Progression-free survival (PFS) was 20.1 months (95% CI: 12.8, NE) and 7.4 months (95% CI, 3.6- 11.8) [HR, 0.31 (95% CI, 0.17-0.55); P < 0.001] in the D+T and C+V arms, respectively. The most common (>20%) adverse reactions were pyrexia, rash, headache, vomiting, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, diarrhea, dry skin, nausea, hemorrhage, abdominal pain, and dermatitis acneiform. This represents the first FDA approval of a systemic therapy for the first-line treatment of pediatric patients with LGG with a BRAFV600E mutation.

INTRODUCTION: Frailty assessments may help to identify patients at highest risk for treatment-related toxicity, early treatment discontinuation due to toxicity, and death in Multiple Myeloma. We aimed to compare the patient-reported frailty phenotype (PRFP) and a modified version of the International Myeloma Working Group frailty index (IMWG FI) in terms of their strengths, limitations, and classification of frailty in a cohort of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data were pooled from six RRMM Phase 3 randomized clinical trials submitted to the Food and Drug Administration for regulatory review between 2010 and 2021. Patients were classified as fit, intermediate fit/pre-frail, or frail using both PRFP and the IMWG FI proxy. Agreement between the two approaches in classification of patient frailty was assessed using weighted Cohen's kappa. A contingency table and Venn diagram were generated to analyze overlap in categorization of patient frailty across the different severity groups. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize and compare the clinical and demographic characteristics of patients categorized as frail by PRFP vs. IMWG FI proxy. RESULTS: Of the 2,750 patients included in this analysis, IMWG FI proxy classified 16.4% (452) patients as frail, 28.1% (772) as intermediate fit/pre-frail, and 55.5% (1,526) as fit. Meanwhile, PRFP classified 21.7% (597) of patients as frail, 24.5% (675) as intermediate fit/pre-frail, and 53.8% (1478) as fit. Fair agreement was observed between PRFP and IMWG FI proxy (weighted Cohen's Kappa = 0.34 [0.31-0.37]). On average, patients who were categorized as frail by IMWG FI proxy were older and had higher Charlson Comorbidity Index scores than patients classified as frail by PRFP. In contrast, patients who were classified as frail by PRFP had worse EORTC QLQ-C30 Physical Functioning subscale summary scores as compared to patients in the IMWG FI proxy frail group (median score of 40 vs. 47 out of 100). DISCUSSION: Our analysis found fair concordance between IMWG FI proxy and PRFP. This demonstrates that while both frailty models measure the same underlying construct, the variables that constitute each approach may result in differing frailty categorizations for the same patient. Further prospective studies are needed to establish and compare the predictive and prognostic abilities of the different frailty indices in MM.
