IMPORTANCE COVID-19 is a life-threatening illness for many patients. Prior studies have established hematologic cancers as a risk factor associated with particularly poor outcomes from COVID-19. To our knowledge, no studies have established a beneficial role for anti-COVID-19 interventions in this at-risk population. Convalescent plasma therapy may benefit immunocompromised individuals with COVID-19, including those with hematologic cancers.OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of convalescent plasma treatment with 30-day mortality in hospitalized adults with hematologic cancers and COVID-19 from a multi-institutional cohort. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSThis retrospective cohort study using data from the COVID-19 and Cancer Consortium registry with propensity score matching evaluated patients with hematologic cancers who were hospitalized for COVID-19. Data were collected between

LBA5009 Background: Pivotal trials of AAP for patients with mCRPC enrolled few B pts, a population with a higher mortality from prostate cancer. Retrospective data suggests B pts may have higher PSA response rates than W pts treated with AAP for mCRPC. Therefore, we prospectively investigated AAP in B vs. W pts with mCRPC. Methods: Abi Race (NCT01940276) is a prospective, multicenter, parallel group study of AP in 100 men (50 B, 50 W) with mCRPC, self-identified by race. All pts received AA 1000 mg/D and P 10 mg/D (AAP) until disease progression or unacceptable adverse events (AE). The primary objective was radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS); key secondary endpoints include PSA kinetics and safety. Exploratory analyses include SNP, metabolomics and hormonal differences by race. Results: Baseline characteristics among pts were similar. The median rPFS for B and W pts was 16.8 months (mo) in each. However, PSA PFS varied by race; median PSA PFS for B and W pts were 16.6 and 11.5 mo [Table]. B pts also had numerically higher rates of ≥30%, ≥50% and ≥90% PSA decline [Table]. AEs were similar in frequency and severity by race including hypertension (42 vs 40%); however, fatigue was higher in W pts (40 vs 26%), and hypokalemia was higher in B pts (36 vs 18%). SNP profiling revealed differences in key genes involved in androgen metabolism and transport. Conclusions: This is the first prospective multicenter study by race of secondary hormonal therapy in mCRPC. B pts may have greater and more durable PSA response to AAP than W pts. SNP patterns vary by race and will be evaluated for prognostic significance. Further prospective studies in B pts are possible and needed to understand the impact of racial determinants on outcome of new hormonal regimens. Clinical trial information: NCT01940276.

Key Points Question Among patients with cancer and COVID-19, do non-Hispanic Black patients have more severe COVID-19 at presentation and worse COVID-19–related outcomes compared with non-Hispanic White patients, after adjusting for demographic and clinical risk factors? Findings In this cohort study of 3506 patients, Black patients with cancer experienced significantly more severe COVID-19 outcomes compared with White patients with cancer, after adjustment for demographic and clinical risk factors. Meaning These findings suggest that, within the framework of structural racism in the US, having cancer and COVID-19 is associated with worse outcomes among Black patients compared with White patients.

132 Background: TAPUR is a phase II basket trial evaluating anti-tumor activity of commercially available targeted agents in pts with advanced cancers with genomic alterations. Results in a cohort of CRC pts with ERBB2 overexpression or amplification treated with P+T are reported. Methods: Eligible pts had advanced CRC, no standard treatment (tx) options, measurable disease, ECOG PS 0-2, and adequate organ function. Genomic testing was performed in CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited site selected labs. Pts had ERBB2 overexpression or amplification, or certain ERBB2 mutations. Recommended dosing after initial dosing was P, 420 mg IV over 30-60 mins every 3 weeks (wks) and T, 6 mg/kg over 30-60 mins every 3 wks. Simon two-stage design was used to test a null rate of 15% vs. 35% (power = 0.85; α = 0.10). If ≥2 of 10 pts in stage 1 have disease control (DC) (objective response (OR) or stable disease at 16+ wks per RECIST (SD16+)), 18 more pts enrolled. If ≥7 of 28 pts have DC, the tx is worthy of further study. Secondary endpoints are progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety. Results: Twenty-eight pts enrolled from November 2016 to September 2018 were evaluable for efficacy and safety. Demographics and outcomes are summarized in Table. All pts had ERBB2 amplification; 1 also had an ERBB2 mutation. 79% of pts had at least 3 prior txs. Four PR and 10 SD16+ were observed for DC and OR rates of 50% (90% CI, 36% to 60%) and 14% (95% CI, 4% to 33%), respectively. Two pts had at least one grade 3 AE or SAE at least possibly related to P+T including anemia, infusion reaction, and left ventricular dysfunction. Conclusions: The combination of P+T showed anti-tumor activity in heavily pre-treated CRC pts with ERBB2 amplification . Additional analyses by RAS mutation status are pending. Further study is warranted to confirm efficacy of P+T in this population. Clinical trial information: NCT02693535. [Table: see text]
