Association of time-varying clearance of nivolumab with disease dynamics and its implications on exposure response analysis. Clin Pharmacol Ther 2017; 101:657-666.

Abstract
Nivolumab is a human monoclonal antibody that blocks the interaction between PD-1 programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2. Nivolumab demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials for various types of cancer. A time-varying clearance was identified for nivolumab. We show that the change of clearance over time is associated with the post-treatment effects: clearance decreases when disease status improves. This interaction between posttreatment effects and drug exposure may lead to a biased steep estimate of the exposure-response (E-R) relationship for efficacy. Under this scenario, simulations were performed to develop a proposed methodology to assess the causal effect of drug exposure upon clinical response. Data from nivolumab trials were subsequently used to verify the proposed methodology for E-R analysis. The results showed that E-R analysis results based on pharmacokinetic (PK) metrics derived from the first dose are more consistent with the true E-R or dose-response relationship than the steady-state PK metrics.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Brain metastasis is a complication in advanced breast cancer (ABC) and is associated with poor prognosis. Incidence of breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM) is increasing with advances in therapy, allowing patients to survive long enough to develop CNS metastasis. Improved outcomes have been documented in ABC over the past decades, largely related to the use of trastuzumab in HER2+ ABC. However, it remains unclear whether survival has improved in HER2- ABC in patients with BCBM. This study asks: has the improvement in systemic and radiotherapies for HER2- breast cancer impacted survival in patients with breast cancer brain metastasis.
OBJECTIVES: 1) To estimate whether date of BCBM diagnosis is associated with overall survival (OS) in patients diagnosed between 1996-2015. 2) To estimate whether OS of this patient population depends upon other demographic and clinical factors.
METHODS: This is a retrospective chart review of patients with diagnosis of BCBM between 1996-2015. Data collection includes: age at BCBM diagnosis, ethnicity, ER/PR/HER2 status, date of BCBM diagnosis, date of primary breast cancer diagnosis, date of death/last clinical follow-up, and treatment. Kaplan-Meier analysis and the log-rank test compared OS (time from diagnosis of BCBM until death or last clinical FU) between groups diagnosed in 5-year cohorts (1996-2000, 2001-2005, 2006-2010, 2011-2015). A univariate proportional hazards model was used to regress OS on date of diagnosis. A multivariate proportional hazards model was used which included the subset of patients diagnosed with BCBM in 2001 and later. This model adjusted for additional factors: race, time to development of BCBM diagnosis, age at the time of BCBM diagnosis, year of diagnosis as a continuous factor, ER, PR, while testing the significance of HER2 status. A p-value < 0.05 was significant.
RESULTS: A total of 165 patients with BCBM were included in this analysis, with a median age of 53.8 (SD 13.0) at time of BCBM diagnosis. Most patients were Caucasian (66%; 109/165) or African-American (29%; 48/165). Although statistical significance was not attained, greater median overall survival was seen for patients diagnosed with BCBM in more recent 5-year cohorts (2011-2016, 9.5 months; 2006-2010, 8 months) than patients in older cohorts (2001-2006, 3.6 months; 1996-2000, 5.3 months), p=0.3. Date of diagnosis of BCBM as a continuous variable is predictive of overall survival (HR 0.83 [95% CI: 0.71-0.97] comparing 5-year intervals, p=0.016). After adjusting for the covariates listed above, HER2 positive status is predictive of overall survival (HR 0.34 [95% CI: 0.34-0.56]; p<0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: While survival has improved by 5.9 months over the past two decades, it remains highly dependent on HER2 status. Novel therapies for BCBM are greatly needed for ER+ and triple negative subtypes. Final results will include an expanded analysis to incorporate additional cases and three other categorical covariates measured during follow-up: whether the patient received radiotherapy, surgery, and/or medical therapy after diagnosis of brain metastases.

Abstract
The need for an improved understanding of the rehabilitation services landscape in Ontario and for promotion of Cancer Care Ontario’s newly developed Exercise for People with Cancer guideline brought Cancer Care Ontario’s Psychosocial Oncology and Survivorship Programs together to host a knowledge translation and exchange event. The primary objectives of the event were to understand recommendations from Cancer Care Ontario’s new exercise guideline, to discuss key considerations and determine strategies for the implementation of the guideline recommendations, and to explore the current state and future directions of cancer rehabilitation in Ontario. The event was attended by 124 stakeholders, including clinicians, allied health care professionals, administrators, patients, community partners, and academics representing each of the 13 regional cancer programs in Ontario. Attendees participated in two small-group activities that focused on determining the best approach for implementing the guideline recommendations into practice and discussing current barriers and the future state of cancer rehabilitation in Ontario. The activities allowed for networking and collaboration between attendees. The event provided an opportunity for the Psychosocial Oncology and Survivorship Programs to learn about the types of goals and plans that could be feasible in implementing the guideline in each region, and about ways to prioritize gaps in access to rehabilitation services and the types of implementation strategies that might be used to address the gaps. Overall, attendees were highly satisfied with the event, and the findings are being used to help inform research and practice activities with respect to guideline implementation and rehabilitation practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Femoral hernias frequently present with incarceration, resulting in obstruction and strangulation. Laparoscopic groin hernia repairs have been shown in the elective setting to be an effective alternative to open repair. Acute incarceration of groin hernia with obstruction, though previously seen as a relative contraindication, has been increasingly repaired with minimally invasive techniques, with the potential benefit of avoiding the morbidity associated with a laparotomy. PRESENTATION OF CASE AND DISCUSSION We describe a case of an acutely incarcerated femoral hernia with intestinal obstruction that was repaired using the totally extra-peritoneal approach. A releasing incision was performed to facilitate reduction of hernia prior to mesh repair. Diagnostic laparoscopy through a separate incision was then performed. CONCLUSION This modification of the TEP repair technique for the acutely incarcerated and obstructed femoral hernia serves to minimise potential contamination by keeping the pre-peritoneal plane strictly separate from the intra-peritoneal space.

Increase in resting heart rate over 2 years predicts incidence of diabetes: A 10-year prospective study. DIABETES & METABOLISM 2016; 43:25-32.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association between resting heart rate (RHR) and the development of diabetes has yet to be fully elucidated, and the relationship between changes in RHR and incidence of diabetes also remains unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the association between changes in RHR over 2 years and the risk of diabetes. METHODS A total of 7416 adults without diabetes were included. All had participated in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, a community-based, 10-year prospective study in which RHR was measured at baseline and 2 years later. Incident diabetes was defined as fasting blood glucose ≥126mg/dL, 2-h post-load glucose ≥200mg/dL during a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test or current use of diabetes medication. The relative risk of diabetes associated with the 2-year change in RHR was calculated using Cox models. RESULTS During the 10-year follow-up, 1444 (19.5%) developed diabetes. Compared with RHR increases <5 beats per minute (bpm) over 2 years, increases >10bpm were significantly associated with development of diabetes (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.31, 95% confidence interval: 1.06-1.60), even after adjusting for glycometabolic parameters and baseline RHR. This significant association was attenuated in people who exercised regularly (P=0.650), but remained significant in those not doing any regular exercise (P=0.010). CONCLUSION An increase in RHR over a 2-year follow-up period is significantly associated with a risk of diabetes, independently of baseline RHR and glycometabolic parameters. Further investigations into ways to control RHR as a potential preventative measure against the development of diabetes are now needed.

Abstract
AIM To assess the effect of empagliflozin on cardiovascular (CV) risk in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) through a meta-analysis of data from eight placebo-controlled trials. METHODS Data were analysed from eight randomized placebo-controlled trials undertaken to investigate the efficacy and safety of empagliflozin 10 and 25 mg once daily in patients with T2DM, comprising patients at low/medium and high CV risk. Suspected CV events were prospectively adjudicated. The empagliflozin 10 and 25 mg groups were pooled for the primary analysis. The primary endpoint was a composite of CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke and hospitalization for unstable angina [4-point major adverse CV events (MACE)]. The secondary endpoint was a composite of CV death, non-fatal MI and non-fatal stroke (3-point MACE). Risk estimates were calculated using Cox regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 3835 patients received placebo and 7457 received empagliflozin. Total exposure was 7448.3 years for placebo and 15482.1 years for empagliflozin. Four-point MACE occurred in 365 (9.5%) patients receiving placebo and 635 (8.5%) patients receiving empagliflozin [hazard ratio for empagliflozin vs. placebo 0.86 (95% CI 0.76, 0.98)]. Three-point MACE occurred in 307 (8.0%) patients receiving placebo and 522 (7.0%) patients receiving empagliflozin [hazard ratio for empagliflozin vs. placebo 0.84 (95% CI 0.73, 0.96)]. CONCLUSIONS In a meta-analysis of data from eight randomized trials involving 11 292 patients with T2DM at low/medium or high CV risk, empagliflozin was associated with a reduced risk of 4-point MACE and 3-point MACE compared with placebo.
