Management of early melanoma recurrence despite adjuvant anti-PD-1 antibody therapy ☆. Ann Oncol 2020; 31:1075-1082. [PMID: 32387454 PMCID: PMC9211001 DOI: 10.1016/j.annonc.2020.04.471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2020] [Revised: 04/13/2020] [Accepted: 04/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibodies (PD1) prolong recurrence-free survival in high-risk resected melanoma; however, approximately 25%-30% of patients recur within 1 year. This study describes the pattern of recurrence, management and outcomes of patients who recur with adjuvant PD1 therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Consecutive patients from 16 centres who recurred having received adjuvant PD1 therapy for resected stage III/IV melanoma were studied. Recurrence characteristics, management and outcomes were examined; patients with mucosal melanoma were analysed separately. RESULTS Melanoma recurrence occurred in 147 (17%) of ∼850 patients treated with adjuvant PD1. In those with cutaneous melanoma (n = 136), median time to recurrence was 4.6 months (range 0.3-35.7); 104 (76%) recurred during (ON) adjuvant PD1 after a median 3.2 months and 32 (24%) following (OFF) treatment cessation after a median 12.5 months, including in 21 (15%) who ceased early for toxicity. Fifty-nine (43%) recurred with locoregional disease only and 77 (57%) with distant disease. Of those who recurred locally, 22/59 (37%) subsequently recurred distantly. Eighty-nine (65%) patients received systemic therapy after recurrence. Of those who recurred ON adjuvant PD1, none (0/6) responded to PD1 alone; 8/33 assessable patients (24%) responded to ipilimumab (alone or in combination with PD1) and 18/23 (78%) responded to BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Of those who recurred OFF adjuvant PD1, two out of five (40%) responded to PD1 monotherapy, two out of five (40%) responded to ipilimumab-based therapy and 9/10 (90%) responded to BRAF/MEK inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS Most patients who recur early despite adjuvant PD1 develop distant metastases. In those who recur ON adjuvant PD1, there is minimal activity of further PD1 monotherapy, but ipilimumab (alone or in combination with PD1) and BRAF/MEK inhibitors have clinical utility. Retreatment with PD1 may have activity in select patients who recur OFF PD1.

Hunter SC, Kim B, Mudge A, Hall L, Young A, McRae P, Kitson AL. Experiences of using the i-PARIHS framework: a co-designed case study of four multi-site implementation projects. BMC Health Serv Res 2020; 20:573. [PMID: 32576197 PMCID: PMC7310499 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-020-05354-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2020] [Accepted: 05/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The integrated-Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (i-PARIHS) framework is an implementation framework that has been developed and refined over the last 20 years. Its underlying philosophy is that implementing research into healthcare practice is complex, unpredictable and non-linear which therefore requires a flexible and responsive approach to implementation. Facilitation is recognized as the central ingredient of this approach, and i-PARIHS now provides a Facilitation Guide with associated tools. This multiple case study of four implementation projects explored how the i-PARIHS framework has been practically operationalized by diverse implementation project teams. METHODS A co-design approach was used to elicit the experiences of four implementation project teams who used the i-PARIHS framework to guide their implementation approach. We conducted the established co-design steps of (i) setting up for success, (ii) gathering the experience, and (iii) understanding the experience. In particular we explored teams' approaches to setting up their projects; why and how they used the i-PARIHS framework and what they learnt from the experience. RESULTS We found both commonalities and differences in the use of i-PARIHS across the four implementation projects: (i) all the projects used the Facilitation Checklist that accompanies i-PARIHS as a starting point, (ii) the projects differed in how facilitation was carried out, (iii) existing tools were adapted for distinct phases: pre-implementation, during implementation, and post-implementation stages; and (iv) project-specific tools were often developed for monitoring implementation activities and fidelity. CONCLUSIONS We have provided a detailed overview of how current users of i-PARIHS are operationalising the framework, which existing tools they are using or adapting to use, and where they have needed to develop new tools to best utilise the framework. Importantly, this study highlights the value of existing tools from the published i-PARIHS Facilitation Guide and provides a starting point to further refine and add to these tools within a future Mobilising Implementation of i-PARIHS (or "Mi-PARIHS") suite of resources. Specifically, Mi-PARIHS might include more explicit guidance and/or tools for developing a structured implementation plan and monitoring fidelity to the implementation plan, including recording how strategies are tailored to an evolving context.

Abstract
Autoimmune diabetes mellitus is a rare but significant side effect of treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced diabetes mellitus (CPI-DM) is characterized by acute onset of dramatic hyperglycemia with severe insulin deficiency and occurrence following exposure to programmed cell death-1/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors rather than cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) inhibitors. As a growing number of patients undergo immunotherapy, further understanding of the characteristics of CPI-DM patients is needed for improved prognostic and diagnostic application in order to reduce overall morbidity for this already at-risk population. Additionally, understanding of the features and mechanisms of CPI-DM may contribute to understanding mechanisms of spontaneous type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Here, we summarize the clinical features of CPI-DM and interrogate the genetic and cellular mechanisms that may contribute to the disease, as well as the clinical challenges for predicting and treating these patients as increasing cancer immunotherapies reach clinical utility.

Abstract
Plastics are already one of the world's main groups of industrial materials; in volume terms, world plastics consumption is now greater than that of all non-ferrous metals combined. The main point that emerges from international comparisons is West Germany's predominance in production and exports (and also in exports of plastics machinery). German production of plastic materials in 1961 was 19 kilograms per head, compared to 17½ in the United States and 12 in Britain. This is not due to lower costs. In material costs, Germany has been, if anything, at a disadvantage : she had only a small petro-chemicals industry in the early post-war years, and she has very little natural gas. In labour costs (which in any case are not very important in this industry) and in plant costs, again there is no evidence of any marked German advantage over her competitors. In general her quoted prices were not below those of other countries.

Abstract
Neutron beta decay is one of the most fundamental processes in nuclear physics and provides sensitive means to uncover the details of the weak interaction. Neutron beta decay can evaluate the ratio of axial-vector to vector coupling constants in the standard model, λ = gA/gV, through multiple decay correlations. The Nab experiment will carry out measurements of the electron-neutrino correlation parameter a with a precision of δa/a = 10−3 and the Fierz interference term b to δb = 3 × 10−3 in unpolarized free neutron beta decay. These results, along with a more precise measurement of the neutron lifetime, aim to deliver an independent determination of the ratio λ with a precision of δλ/λ = 0.03% that will allow an evaluation of Vud and sensitively test CKM unitarity, independent of nuclear models. Nab utilizes a novel, long asymmetric spectrometer that guides the decay electron and proton to two large area silicon detectors in order to precisely determine the electron energy and an estimation of the proton momentum from the proton time of flight. The Nab spectrometer is being commissioned at the Fundamental Neutron Physics Beamline at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Lab. We present an overview of the Nab experiment and recent updates on the spectrometer, analysis, and systematic effects.

Abstract
An adult female Eastern Grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) was examined for lameness due to a mass located at the right tibiotarsal joint. Radiographs revealed a metal arrowhead-shaped foreign body within the mass alongside a pathologic fracture. Grossly, at necropsy, there was a multilobulated and haemorrhagic mass with intralesional metal fragments, associated osteolysis of the tibiotarsus and pulmonary metastatic nodules. Histologically the neoplasm was composed of plump elongated and fusiform cells that often formed concentrically around small vessels. The pulmonary nodules were composed of similar neoplastic cells, necrosis and haemorrhage. Neoplastic cells were positive immunohistochemically for vimentin and smooth muscle actin. The histological features, immunohistochemical profiles and behaviour of this tumour support a diagnosis of a primary angioleiomyosarcoma with lung metastasis associated with a metal foreign body.

Abstract
Objectives Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by reduced lacrimal and salivary secretion. Sicca symptoms together with fatigue and musculoskeletal pain can significantly reduce the patients’ quality of life. Furthermore, low salivary secretion may disrupt the oral microbial homeostasis. The aim of this study was to compare the salivary microbiota from pSS patients with patients with sicca symptoms not fulfilling the classification criteria for pSS (non-SS), and with healthy controls without sicca complaints. Methods Pellets from centrifuged chewing-stimulated whole saliva from pSS patients (n = 15), non-SS sicca patients (n = 15) and healthy controls (n = 15) were prepared. DNA was extracted and analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The acquired sequencing data were performed using the human oral microbiome database (HOMD). Results We detected 42, 45, and 34 bacterial genera in saliva samples from pSS patients, non-SS sicca patients, and healthy controls, respectively. The most abundant genera in all samples were Prevotella, Veillonella, Streptococcus, and Haemophilus. At species level Streptococcus intermedius, Prevotella intermedia, Fusobacterium nucleatum subsp. vincentii, Porphyromonas endodontalis, Prevotella nancensis, Tannerella spp., and Treponema spp. were detected in the samples from pSS and non-SS only, while Porphyromonas pasteri was mostly found among the healthy controls. Conclusion Our study indicated dysbiosis in the salivary microbiota from pSS and non-SS patients compared to healthy controls. Additionally, the results showed that the salivary microbiome in the pSS group differed significantly from the non-SS group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess predictive factors for rheumatoid arthritis interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) in two early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) inception cohorts with a focus on methotrexate (MTX) exposure. DESIGN Multicentre prospective early RA inception cohort studies; the early RA study (ERAS) and the early RA network (ERAN). SETTING Secondary care, ERAS nine centres, ERAN 23 centres in England, Wales and Ireland. PARTICIPANTS Patients with new diagnosis of RA, n=2701. Standardised data including demographics, drug therapies and clinical outcomes including the presence of RA-ILD were collected at baseline, within 3-6 months, at 12 months and annually thereafter. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome was the association of MTX exposure on RA-ILD diagnosis. Secondary outcomes were the association of demographic, comorbid and RA-specific factors on RA-ILD diagnosis and the association of MTX exposure on time to RA-ILD diagnosis. RESULTS Of 92 eligible ILD cases, 39 occurred in 1578 (2.5%) MTX exposed and 53 in 1114 (4.8%) non-MTX exposed cases. The primary analysis of RA-ILD cases only developing after any conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug treatment (n=67) showed MTX exposure not to be associated with incident RA-ILD (OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.49 to 1.49, p=0.578) and a non-significant trend for delayed ILD diagnosis (OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.28 to 1.06, p=0.072). In an extended analysis including RA-ILD cases present at RA diagnosis (n=92), MTX exposure was associated with a significantly reduced risk of incident RA-ILD (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.3 to 0.79, p=0.004) and longer time to ILD diagnosis (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.23 to 0.75, p=0.004). Other independent baseline associations with incident RA-ILD were higher age of RA onset, ever smoking, male gender, rheumatoid nodules and longer time from first RA symptom to first outpatient visit. CONCLUSIONS MTX treatment was not associated with an increased risk of RA-ILD diagnosis. On the contrary, evidence suggested that MTX may delay the onset of ILD.

Abstract
Abstract
ER+ breast cancers can depend on ER signaling throughout disease progression, including after acquired resistance to existing endocrine agents, providing a rationale for further optimization and development of ER-targeting agents. Fulvestrant is unique amongst currently approved ER ligand therapeutics due to classification as a full ER antagonist, which is thought to be achieved through degradation of ER protein. However, the full clinical potential of fulvestrant is believed to be limited by poor bioavailability, spurring attempts to generate ligands capable of driving ER degradation but with improved drug-like properties.
Here, we evaluate three ER ligand clinical candidates that recently emerged from prospective optimization of ER degradation – GDC-0810, AZD9496 and GDC-0927 - and show that they display distinct mechanistic features. GDC-0810 and AZD9496 are more limited in their ER degradation capacity relative to GDC-0927 and fulvestrant, display evidence of weak transcriptional activation of ER in breast cancer cells (i.e. partial agonist activity), and do not achieve the same degree of in vitro anti-proliferative activity as GDC-0927 and fulvestrant. In the HCI-013 (ER.Y537S) and HCI-011 (ER.WT) ER+ patient-derived xenograft models, GDC-0927 drives greater transcriptional suppression of ER, and greater anti-tumor activity relative to GDC-0810.
We found that despite their full antagonist phenotype, GDC-0927 and fulvestrant promote association of ER with DNA, including at canonical ERE motifs, prior to ER degradation. Interestingly however, integration of ER ChIP-Seq and ATAC-Seq data revealed that ER complexed with fulvestrant or GDC-0927 fails to increase chromatin accessibility at DNA binding sites, in contrast to partial agonists which result in increased chromatin accessibility at ER binding sites. Thus, although ER contacts DNA when engaged with fulvestrant and GDC-0927, it is functionally inert. To further explore mechanistic features that might account for the differential activity of full antagonists and partial agonists that occurs prior to ER degradation, we used cell-based florescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) to measure the kinetics of ER diffusion within the nucleus. We demonstrate that while ER is generally highly mobile, including after engagement with GDC-0810 and AZD9496, GDC-0927 and fulvestrant immobilize intra-nuclear ER. A site saturating mutagenesis screen revealed a series of novel ER mutations that prevent ER immobilization by fulvestrant and GDC-0927. This class of “always mobile” ER variants promotes an antagonist-to-agonist transcriptional switch for fulvestrant and GDC-0927, and simultaneously prevents ER degradation by these molecules, implying that ER immobilization is a key functional determinant of robust transcriptional suppression.
We thus propose that ER degradation is not a driver of full ER antagonism, but rather a downstream consequence of ER immobilization, occurring after a suppressive phenotype has been established at chromatin. We additionally argue that evaluating the transcriptional output of candidate ER therapeutics, both pre-clinically and clinically, will be critical for the identification of ER ligands with best-in-class potential.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have shown that woman attending their first cervical screening or colposcopy appointment experience negative emotions, primarily anxiety and fear. With the introduction of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, it is unknown whether these emotions will have altered or whether the information needs of vaccinated women will have changed. The objective of this study is to determine the knowledge, understanding and concerns that young women have about HPV when attending colposcopy and whether their information needs are met. Methods This is a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews which were audiotaped and transcribed. Data was analysed thematically, with recruitment until data saturation was reached. Women born after 01/09/1990 and attending colposcopy as a result of abnormal cytology were eligible to join the study. Recruitment took place in an out-patient regional colposcopy clinic, Aberdeen, Scotland. Results Fifteen women were interviewed. The majority of participants had some knowledge and understanding of HPV, cervical screening and colposcopy. Knowledge about the HPV vaccine was more limited; a third of participants misunderstood the effectiveness of the vaccine believing that is provided complete protection, and were left feeling that it had failed them. Some also felt that they were “test cases” for the vaccine. Conclusion With the introduction of the HPV vaccine, the information and support needs of young women attending colposcopy are not fully met, leaving women with unanswered questions. With increasing numbers of vaccinated women entering the screening programme, it is timely to review the information available to these women.
