Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Among many treatment approaches for chronic low back pain (CLBP), self-management techniques are becoming increasingly important. The aim of this paper was to (a) provide an overview of existing digital self-help interventions for CLBP and (b) examine the effect of these interventions in reducing pain intensity, pain catastrophizing and pain disability. DATABASES AND DATA TREATMENT Following the PRISMA guideline, a systematic literature search was conducted in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychInfo, CINAHL and Cochrane databases. We included randomized controlled trials from the last 10 years that examined the impact of digital self-management interventions on at least one of the three outcomes in adult patients with CLBP (duration ≥3 months). The meta-analysis was based on random-effects models. Standardized tools were used to assess the risk of bias (RoB) for each study and the quality of evidence for each outcome. RESULTS We included 12 studies (n = 1545). A small but robust and statistically significant pooled effect was found on pain intensity (g = 0.24; 95% CI [0.09, 0.40], k = 12) and pain disability (g = 0.43; 95% CI [0.27, 0.59], k = 11). The effect on pain catastrophizing was not significant (g = 0.38; 95% CI [-0.31, 1.06], k = 4). The overall effect size including all three outcomes was g = 0.33 (95% CI [0.21, 0.44], k = 27). The RoB of the included studies was mixed. The quality of evidence was moderate or high. CONCLUSION In summary, we were able to substantiate recent evidence that digital self-management interventions are effective in the treatment of CLBP. Given the heterogeneity of interventions, further research should aim to investigate which patients benefit most from which approach. SIGNIFICANCE This meta-analysis examines the effect of digital self-management techniques in patients with CLBP. The results add to the evidence that digital interventions can help patients reduce their pain intensity and disability. A minority of studies point towards the possibility that digital interventions can reduce pain catastrophizing. Future research should further explore which patients benefit most from these kinds of interventions.

Abstract
Online sharing impacts which information is widely available and influential in society. Yet, systematically influencing sharing behavior remains difficult. Past research highlights two factors associated with sharing: the social and self-relevance of the to-be-shared content. Based on this prior neuroimaging work and theory, we developed a manipulation in the form of short prompts that are attached to media content (here health news articles). These prompts encourage readers to think about how sharing the content may help them to fulfill motivations to present themselves positively (self-relevance) or connect positively to others (social relevance). Fifty-three young adults completed this pre-registered experiment while undergoing fMRI scanning. Ninety six health news articles were randomly assigned to three within-subject conditions that encouraged self-related or social thinking, or a control. Invoking self-related or social thoughts about health-related news (vs. control) 1) causally increased brain activity in a priori regions of interest chosen for their roles in processing social and self-relevance and 2) causally impacted self-reported sharing intentions. This study provides evidence corroborating prior reverse inferences regarding the neural correlates of sharing. It further highlights the feasibility and utility of targeting neuropsychological processes to systematically facilitate online information spread.

Abstract
Abstract
Background Real-world data (RWD) has been increasingly used in drug development. A reliable evaluation of efficacy for current treatments is challenging with very limited publication data of clinical trials available. The RWD provides a unique value and an alternative way to achieve such goal. Use data from metastatic Breast Cancer (mBC) patients in the real world clinical practice, we examine the treatment patterns and durations of different endocrine monotherapies in various clinical settings.
Methods We obtained Flatiron Health subject-level mBC data set which consists a group of 20645 mBC patients. The analysis set consisted of subjects who were ER+/Her2-/(PgR+ or PgR-), received at least one prior line of CDK4/6 inhibitor (mono or combo) and one prior line of endocrine therapy (mono or combo) in the mBC settings, and had an ECOG performance score<=2. Time to treatment discontinuation (TTD) was used as real world endpoint. We assessed the median TTD of endocrine monotherapies in various mBC ER+/Her2- patient subgroups using Kaplan-Meier estimates.
Result Out of all subjects in the mBC RWD database, 263 subjects met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis set. Among all 263 ER+/Her2- subjects, the median TTD of endocrine monotherapies was 3.0 months (95% CI: 2.8-3.7 months, N=263) in all subjects, 3.7 months (95% CI: 3.0-4.3 months, N=186) in PgR+ group and 2.1 months (95% CI: 1.9-2.9 months, N=77) in PgR- group. Among 186 ER+/PgR+/Her2- subjects, 1) the median TTD of endocrine monotherapies was 3.3 months (95% CI: 2.8-4.6 months, N=153) in ECOG<=1 group and 3.7 months (95% CI: 3.2-6.0 months, N=33) in ECOG=2 group; 2) the median TTD of endocrine monotherapies was 3.4 months (95% CI: 2.3-5.4 months, N=47) in Aromatase inhibitors group, 3.7 months (95% CI: 2.8-5.6 months, N=110) in Fulvestrant group, and 3.1 months (95% CI: 2.3-6.0 months, N=29) in Tamoxifen group; 3) the median TTD of endocrine monotherapies was 3.6 months (95% CI: 2.8-5.9 months, N=74) in one prior treatment line group, 3.7 months (95% CI: 2.0-6.0 months, N=57) in two prior treatment lines group, and 3.7 months (95% CI: 2.3-5.4 months, N=55) in >=3 prior treatment lines group.
Conclusion By investigating the RWD, we observed that the PgR status is prognostic in post CDK setting: endocrine monotherapies in PgR+ group has longer TTD compared to PgR- group in ER+/Her2- mBC subjects. By further looking into ER+/PgR+/Her2- subjects, we observed different treatment durations of endocrine therapies in various clinical scenarios, which may provide a helpful understanding of the mBC monotherapy treatments.

Abstract
Background Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most frequent autoimmune blistering disease of the skin affecting the elderly. BP is immunopathologically characterized by autoantibodies against BP180 and BP230. With the growing evidence of cell‐mediated autoimmunity in the pathogenesis of BP, it still remains unclear whether mast cells (MCs) are involved, due to conflicting data obtained from Kit‐dependent MC‐deficient mouse models. Objectives To clarify the role of MCs in experimental BP; the dynamics in cutaneous MC numbers, associated immune cells and the development of disease in Kit‐independent MC‐deficient mouse model. Methods Employing a recently established murine adult passive transfer model of BP induced by the transfer of pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG), lesional skin biopsies were investigated histologically and immunohistochemically for the time‐dependent MC accumulation and dermal infiltration. Results The numbers of cutaneous MCs increased following the induction of BP, in part, maintained by MC proliferation. Numbers of T cells, neutrophils and eosinophils in the skin also increased after BP induction, with eosinophils showing a preferential co‐localization with MCs. Furthermore, clinical disease manifestation in MC‐deficient Mcpt5Cre/Dicerfl/fl mice remained unchanged compared to MC‐sufficient Dicerfl/fl mice. The composition of the immune cell infiltration including as T cells, neutrophils and eosinophils was largely unaffected by the absence of MCs. Conclusion MCs do not play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of passive IgG‐transfer mediated BP model. Their increase in number may be a bystander effect following tissue injury. We therefore suggest caution regarding the selection of MCs as sole targets for the development of novel drugs for BP.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Admixture of archaic (Neandertal and Denisova) and ancestral genes enhanced natural immunity during out of Africa migrations and modulates modern susceptibility to autoimmunity and cancer. We investigated a series of functional interactions between archaic and ancestral STING1 and TLR genes to identify vulnerabilities that could be addressed by STING agonist therapy. Methods: Gene variants from 10,389 cancer patients (pts) were obtained from TCGA. Archaic sequences were accessed using UCSD genome browser 410. Linkage disequilibrium was investigated using LDlink v5.0. Patient 1 was treated within NCT04144140. Results: STING1 variants were overrepresented in gastroesophageal cancer pts. V48V (rs7447927-C>G) with GWAS of lower rate of Asian esophageal cancer was in linkage disequilibrium with the reference alleles of the partially active HAQ and REF variants, and with rs13153461, present in Neandertal sequences. STING1 rs7447927-G was also associated with HLA A*24:02 (p<0.001), A*02:06 (p=0.01), and A*31:01 (p=0.02), of Neandertal origin. We then investigated a potential epistasis between STING1 rs7447927-G and TLR variants associated with decreased H. pylori prevalence: Neandertal-like TLR10 I775V (rs4129009) and ancestral TLR6 S249P (rs5743810). No independent prognosis was identified in 32 TCGA legacy studies; however, in upper aerodigestive (oral cavity, oropharynx, esophageal, gastric, biliary tract) tumor pts who carried reference/heterozygous TLR6 S249P and/or reference TLR10 I775, Neandertal-associated STING1 rs7447927-G zygosity was a strong predictor of survival. Hazards ratio for rs7447927-GG vs GC (4.8 vs 2.7 yrs. median survival), and GG vs CC (4.8 vs 1.8 yrs.) were respectively 0.71 and 0.53, N=713, p=0.0003. Patient 1 was a 75 yr.-old male esophageal cancer pt with GERD, Barrett’s esophagus and TLR6 S249/STING1 rs7447927-GC, who was progressing from anti-PD1 and chemotherapy and received 75 microg intra-tumoral injections of the STING agonist E7766. Non treatment-related grade 2 events of anemia and hyponatremia, serum IFNbeta and IP10 levels induction, 20% tumor size reduction including abscopal effects, and 6.3 months PFS benefit were observed. Conclusion: Genotyping of STING1, TLR6-10 variants could contribute to identify pts who may benefit from E7766 treatment.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to quantify a large number of analytes including opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, z-drugs, antidepressants and neuroleptics within a single sample workup followed by a single analytical measurement. Expected drug concentrations in hair are strongly substance dependent. Therefore, three different calibration ranges were implemented: 0.5 to 600 pg/mg (group 1), 10 to 12,000 pg/mg (group 2) and 50 to 60,000 pg/mg (group 3). In order to avoid saturation effects, different strategies were applied for selected transitions including the use of parent mass ions containing one or two 13C-isotopes and detuning of the declustering potential and/or collision energy. Drugs were extracted from pulverized hair by a two-step extraction protocol and measured by liquid chromatrography--tandem mass spectrometry (LC--MS-MS) using Scheduled MRM™ Algorithm Pro. In total, 275 MRM transitions including 43 deuterated standards were measured. The method has been fully validated according to international guidelines. A MultiQuant™ software based tool for task-oriented data evaluation was established, which allows extracting selected information from the measured data sets. The matrix effects and recoveries were within the allowed ranges for the majority of the analytes. The lower limits of quantification (LLOQs) were for ∼72% of the analytes in the low-pg/mg range (0.5-5 pg/mg) and for ∼24% of the analytes between 10 and 50 pg/mg. These LLOQs considered cut-offs by the Society of Hair Testing (SoHT), if recommended. The herein established multi-analyte approach meets the specific requirements of forensic hair testing and can be used for the rapid and robust measurement of a wide range of psychoactive substances. The analyte-specific wide concentration ranges open up a wide field of applications.

Abstract
e13022 Background: H3B-6545 is a selective, orally available, small molecule antagonist of the estrogen receptor (ER), covalently binding to a cysteine residue at position 530 of both wild-type and the constitutively active mutant ERα proteins. H3B-6545 demonstrated preliminary clinical antitumor activity in breasts cancer patients in phase 1b/2. Methods: This was an open-label phase 1 study to evaluate the relative bioavailability of H3B-6545 from a tablet formulation compared to capsules, and the effect of pantoprazole on the pharmacokinetics of H3B-6545, in healthy post-menopausal women. Subjects were randomized (1:1 ratio) to a combined crossover and fixed sequence 3 periods treatment: A single oral dose (SOD) of 450 mg H3B-6545 fasted on day 1 (capsules or tablets), followed by a 4-day washout; A SOD of 450 mg H3B-6545 fasted on day 5 (crossover formulation from the first period), followed by a 4-day washout; daily oral doses of 40 mg pantoprazole on days 9 to 15 with coadministration of a SOD of 450 mg H3B-6545 (tablets) on day 15. Results: A total of 16 subjects were enrolled and received at least one dose of H3B-6545 and 15 subjects completed all 3 periods. One subject assigned to the tablet/capsule treatment sequence withdrew from the study due to subject decision on day 13 (Period 3), following completion of Period 1 (H3B-6545 tablet) and Period 2 (H3B-6545 capsule). Following a SOD of H3B-6545 capsules alone, tablets alone, or tablets at steady-state QD of pantoprazole, H3B-6545 geometric mean Cmax was about 1070, 1120 and 1330 ng/mL, respectively, AUC was about 16600, 17500 and 18300 ng.h/mL, respectively, half-life was about 11.0, 11.0 and 10.2 hours, respectively, and the median Tmax was about 3.0, 4.0, and 2.0 hours post dose, respectively. The ratio (capsule/tablet) of Cmax and AUC was both about 0.95; steady-state pantoprazole QD increased H3B-6545 Cmax by 20% with no change in AUC. Nine subjects (56.3%) reported at least 1 TEAE during the study with constipation being the most common (43.8%); all TEAEs were mild in severity. There were no SAEs reported. Conclusions: Plasma PK of H3B-6545 is similar between tablets and capsules, and in the absence or presence of pantoprazole. Concurrent use of gastric acid reducers had a minimal effect on H3B-6545 exposure and was not considered clinically meaningful.

Abstract
Abstract
The prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains poor in part due to the leukemic bone marrow microenvironment. Our lab has found that CXCL12, a chemokine abundant within the leukemic bone marrow microenvironment, induces apoptosis of AML cells expressing CXCR4, the receptor for CXCL12. However, this CXCL12/CXCR4-induced apoptosis is inhibited by differentiating osteoblasts, which protect AML cells from apoptosis in the bone marrow. Tipifarnib is a farnesyltransferase inhibitor shown to increase progression-free survival in AML patients that express high levels of CXCL12. Here, we report that tipifarnib inhibits the CXCL12/CXCR4-directed migration of AML cells via an ERK independent pathway. Furthermore, tipifarnib enhances CXCL12/CXCR4-mediated AML cell apoptosis via a mechanism that alters expression of apoptosis-regulating proteins. In addition, tipifarnib disrupts AML protection by osteoblasts, increasing AML cell apoptosis. Tipifarnib inhibits the osteoblast-mediated protection of AML cells via disrupting COL1A1 and TNAP, proteins essential for extracellular matrix production. In conclusion, tipifarnib alters the bone marrow microenvironment which is predicted to enhance eradication of AML via inhibiting CXCL12/CXCR4 directed cellular migration of AML cells, reducing the protective effects of differentiating osteoblasts by disrupting matrix protection proteins, and increasing CXCL12/CXCR4-mediated apoptosis.

Abstract
Neuroimaging has identified individual brain regions, but not yet whole-brain patterns, that correlate with the population impact of health messaging. We used neuroimaging to measure whole-brain responses to health news articles across two studies. Beyond activity in core reward value-related regions (ventral striatum, ventromedial prefrontal cortex), our approach leveraged whole-brain responses to each article, quantifying expression of a distributed pattern meta-analytically associated with reward valuation. The results indicated that expression of this whole-brain pattern was associated with population-level sharing of these articles beyond previously identified brain regions and self-report variables. Further, the efficacy of the meta-analytic pattern was not reducible to patterns within core reward value-related regions but rather depended on larger-scale patterns. Overall, this work shows that a reward-related pattern of whole-brain activity is related to health information sharing, advancing neuroscience models of the mechanisms underlying the spread of health information through a population.

Abstract
Information that is shared widely can profoundly shape society. Evidence from neuroimaging suggests that activity in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), a core region of the brain's valuation system tracks with this sharing. However, the mechanisms linking vmPFC responses in individuals to population behavior are still unclear. We used a multilevel brain-as-predictor approach to address this gap, finding that individual differences in how closely vmPFC activity corresponded with population news article sharing related to how closely its activity tracked with social consensus about article value. Moreover, how closely vmPFC activity corresponded with population behavior was linked to daily life news experience: frequent news readers tended to show high vmPFC across all articles, whereas infrequent readers showed high vmPFC only to articles that were more broadly valued and heavily shared. Using functional connectivity analyses, we found that superior tracking of consensus value was related to decreased connectivity of vmPFC with a dorsolateral PFC region associated with controlled processing. Taken together, our results demonstrate variability in the brain's capacity to track crowd wisdom about information value, and suggest (lower levels of) stimulus experience and vmPFC-dlPFC connectivity as psychological and neural sources of this variability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To the authors' knowledge, there are no approved therapies for recurrent, metastatic (R/M) salivary gland carcinoma (SGC), but molecularly targeted therapies warrant ongoing investigation. In the current study, the authors have reported on the efficacy of tipifarnib in patients with aggressive HRAS-mutant, R/M SGC. METHODS The current prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter, international cohort study involved 8 centers and was conducted from May 2015 to June 2019. The median follow-up was 22 months (range, 6-55 months). Subjects with HRAS-mutant R/M SGC (any histology) and disease progression within the last 6 months were enrolled. Tipifarnib was dosed orally twice daily. The authors determined the objective response rate using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (version 1.1), duration of response, and molecular predictors of response. RESULTS A total of 13 patients with R/M SGC were enrolled; all had received prior systemic therapy (1-3 regimens). One objective response was observed; an additional 7 of 12 evaluable patients (58%) had stable disease as their best response with a median duration of 9 months (range, 3-14 months). Five of 7 patients had >10% tumor regression and 6 of 7 had stable disease lasting >6 months. Q61R was the most frequent activating HRAS mutation noted (7 of 13 patients; 54%), but gene variant and allele frequency did not correlate with outcomes. The median progression-free survival was 7 months (95% confidence interval, 5.9-10.1 months), and the median overall survival was 18 months (95% confidence interval, 9.6-22.4 months) with approximately 58.6% of patients alive at 1 year. Survival was similar regardless of HRAS mutant variant or co-occurring PIK3CA alterations. No participant discontinued treatment because of toxicity. CONCLUSIONS Tipifarnib resulted in modest clinical activity with a promising disease control rate among patients with HRAS-mutant, R/M SGC who developed disease progression within the last 6 months.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the antitumor activity and safety of tipifarnib, a highly potent and selective farnesyltransferase inhibitor, we performed a phase II clinical trial in patients with advanced and refractory urothelial carcinoma harboring missense HRAS mutations. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 245 adult patients with previously treated, advanced urothelial carcinoma entered the molecular screening program including HRAS. Those with missense HRAS mutations or STK11:rs2075606 received oral tipifarnib 900 mg twice daily on days 1-7 and 15-21 of 28-day treatment cycles. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival at 6 months (PFS6). RESULTS We identified 16 (7%) missense HRAS mutations (G13R, 7; Q61R, 4; G12S, 3; G12C, 2) and 104 (46%) STK11:rs2075606 carriers. In 21 patients enrolled in the study, 14 and 7 patients had missense HRAS mutations and STK11:rs2075606, respectively. The most frequently observed adverse events included fatigue (86%) and hematologic toxicities. With a median follow-up of 28 months, 4 patients (19%) reached PFS6: 3 had missense HRAS mutations and one patient, enrolled as an STK11 carrier, had HRAS frameshift insertions at H27fs and H28fs rendering a nonsense HRAS mutation. The overall response rate by intent-to-treat analysis was 24% (4 missense and one nonsense frameshift HRAS mutation); no response was observed in patients with urothelial carcinoma with wild-type HRAS tumors. Five responses were observed in 12 evaluable patients of 15 with tumors carrying HRAS mutations. CONCLUSIONS Oral tipifarnib resulted in a manageable safety profile and encouraging antitumor efficacy against treatment-refractory urothelial carcinoma containing HRAS mutations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Lymph node metastases significantly worsen the prognosis in cervical carcinoma. Risk factors-pathological and patient related-could select patients at high risk for lymph node involvement. METHODS This retrospective analysis was performed by analyzing data from patients with cervical carcinoma treated between 2000 and 2017 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University Hospital Ulm. RESULTS In total, 261 patients with cervical carcinoma (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IA-IIB) and lymphadenectomy with at least 10 removed lymph nodes were available for analysis. Overall, 86 (33.0%) patients had lymph node metastases; 73 patients had pelvic lymph node metastases only and 13 patients had both pelvic and paraaortic lymph node metastases. Lymph node metastases were found most often in the region of the external iliac artery and obturator fossa, with 57.0% and 54.7% of all 86 node-positive patients, respectively. Univariable analyses showed that presence of lymph node metastases was significantly associated with both preoperative FIGO stage (p = 0.001) and final pathological tumor stage (p < 0.001), status of resection margin (p = 0.002), lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), (p < 0.001) and vascular space invasion, (p < 0.001). In a multivariable logistic regression model with presence of lymph node metastases (yes/no) as binary response variable, only LVSI (p < 0.001) and body mass index (BMI), (p = 0.035) remained as significant independent predictors of lymph node involvement. Subgroup analyses showed that LVSI was a significant predictive factor for lymph node involvement in patients with a preoperatively assessed FIGO stage < IIB (p < 0.001), but not for patients with a preoperatively assessed FIGO stage ≥ IIB (p = 0.122). CONCLUSIONS The risk factor LVSI should play an important role in deciding whether an individualized therapy concept is based on escalating or deescalating treatment. In future, the sentinel concept could reduce morbidity and at the same time provide an important prognostic assessment for a subset of cervical cancer patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: CXCL12 is a negative prognostic factor for head & neck (HNSCC) and pancreatic (PDCA) cancers, among others. Its receptor, CXCR4, is a negative prognostic factor in lymphoma/leukemia. CXCR4 signals in part through RAS species, and the expression of CXCL12 and CXCR4 appears to be itself regulated by farnesylated proteins. We provide evidence that targeting the CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway with the farnesyltransferase inhibitor tipifarnib translates to long term clinical benefit.
Methods: Next generation sequencing and analyses of gene expression were conducted in tumor samples from squamous cell carcinoma, lymphoma, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients treated in tipifarnib trials (studies KO-TIP-001, KO-TIP-002, CTEP20), and complemented with analyses of related tumor gene expression databases in TCGA and GEO.
Results: Activating HRAS mutations in HNSCC and KRAS mutations in PDCA were mutually exclusive with CXCL12 expression, consistent with a role for RAS downstream from CXCR4. Contrary to KRAS and NRAS, HRAS is exclusively farnesylated, and treatment with tipifarnib in patients (pts) with advanced HNSCC tumors with a HRAS mutation variant allele frequency (VAF) >20% resulted in 8 partial responses (PR) in 14 pts. Two complete responses (CR), 3 PRs and 4 disease stabilizations (90% clinical benefit) were observed in 10 pts with relapsed/refractory peripheral T cell lymphoma overexpressing CXCL12. Decreases in plasma CXCL12 levels during treatment were observed. Seven CRs were observed in 11 elderly/unfit AML pts overexpressing CXCL12 in bone marrow (NRAS wt or unknown). Ex vivo treatment of bone marrow stromal cell cultures with tipifarnib decreased secretion of CXCL12. Finally, based on the reported relationship between CXCL12 expression and the suppression of pain in PDCA, we conducted a retrospective analysis of a phase 3 study of gemcitabine plus tipifarnib (GT) in advanced PDCA. Notably, absence of abdominal pain at study entry was associated with higher median survival in the GT arm (no pain, pain): 10.2 vs 5.9 months, HR=0.52, p<0.0001, whereas no significant effect was observed in the control arm: 6.1 vs 6.1 months. PDCA with <7% VAF of KRAS mutation (~30% PDCA pts) overexpressed CXCL12.
Conclusions: The mechanism of action of tipifarnib appears to involve targeting the CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway and demonstrates a crucial association with the tumor microenvironment and objective clinical responses.

Abstract
Persuasive messages can change people's thoughts, feelings, and actions, but these effects depend on how people think about and appraise the meaning of these messages. Drawing from research on the cognitive control of emotion, we used neuroimaging to investigate neural mechanisms underlying cognitive regulation of the affective and persuasive impact of advertisements communicating the risks of binge drinking, a significant public health problem. Using cognitive control to up-regulate (vs. down-regulate) responses to the ads increased: negative affect related to consequences of excessive drinking, perceived ad effectiveness, and ratings of ad self-relevance made after a one-hour delay. Neurally, these effects of cognitive control were mediated by goal-congruent modulation of ventromedial prefrontal cortex and distributed brain patterns associated with negative emotion and subjective valuation. These findings suggest that people can leverage cognitive control resources to deliberately shape responses to persuasive appeals, and identify mechanisms of emotional reactivity and integrative valuation that underlie this ability. Specifically, brain valuation pattern expression mediated the effect of cognitive goals on perceived message self-relevance, suggesting a role for the brain's valuation system in shaping responses to persuasive appeals in a manner that persists over time.

Abstract
Abstract
Genomic profiling of squamous tumors has revealed important similarities between lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). For instance, HRAS is the most commonly mutated RAS species in both LSCC and HNSCC, observed in approximately 2% and 5% of cases, respectively (TCGA, Nature 2013). Tipifarnib is a potent and selective inhibitor of farnesyltransferase (FT) that catalyzes the post-translational attachment of farnesyl groups to proteins that require localization to the inner cell membrane. Although all RAS isoforms (KRAS/NRAS/HRAS) are FT substrates, HRAS is exclusively dependent upon farnesylation for membrane localization and signaling activation, making HRAS mutant tumors uniquely susceptible to tipifarnib mediated inhibition of FT. With limited treatment options, LSCC and HNSCC remain a significant unmet medical need. Recent evidence supports the clinical utility of tipifarnib for treatment of patients with HRAS-mutant HNSCC, and we present herein data supporting a potential utility of tipifarnib in the treatment of HRAS-mutant LSCC. We have characterized the antitumor activity of tipifarnib in CDX and PDX models of squamous cell carcinoma with activating HRAS mutations. Tipifarnib displayed robust antitumor activity in the majority of these models, including lung and head and neck tumors. Six of seven HRAS-mutant lung SCC PDX models responded to tipifarnib treatment with the majority either fully growth-inhibited or undergoing partial or complete regression. Importantly, even LSCC PDX tumors resistant to chemotherapy responded to tipifarnib, suggesting tipifarnib has the potential to offer clinical benefit in patients relapsed or refractory to standard therapies. The activity of tipifarnib in LSCC models is quite similar to that seen in HNSCC PDX models, where tipifarnib also induced regressions consistent with those observed in patients enrolled in the ongoing Phase 2 study in HRAS-mutant SCCHN patients (NCT02383927), including patients refractory to chemotherapy, cetuximab and/or immunotherapy. These data demonstrate that HRAS is a targetable mutation in lung SCC as well as in HNSCC and illustrate the potential for tipifarnib in the treatment of additional HRAS-mutant squamous cell carcinomas.

Abstract
Ataxia-oculomotor apraxia type 4 (AOA4) is a rare autosomal recessive neurologic disorder. The phenotype is characterized by ataxia, oculomotor apraxia, peripheral neuropathy and dystonia. AOA4 is caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the PNKP gene encoding a polynucleotide kinase 3'-phosphatase with an important function in DNA-damage repair. By whole exome sequencing, we identified 2 variants within the PNKP gene in a 27-year-old German woman with a clinical AOA phenotype combined with a cerebellar pilocytic astrocytoma diagnosed at 23 years of age. One variant, a duplication in exon 14 resulting in the frameshift c.1253_1269dup p.(Thr424fs*49), has previously been described as pathogenic, for example, in cases of AOA4. The second variant, representing a nonsense mutation in exon 17, c.1545C>G p.(Tyr515*), has not yet been described and is predicted to cause a loss of the 7 C-terminal amino acids. This is the first description of AOA4 in a patient with central European descent. Furthermore, the occurrence of a pilocytic astrocytoma has not been described before in an AOA4 patient. Our data demonstrate compound heterozygous PNKP germline variants in a German patient with AOA4 and provide evidence for a possible link with tumor predisposition. Localization of the 2 variants in human PNKP NP_009185.2. NM_007254.3:c.1253_1269dup p.(Thr424fs*49) is predicted to cause a frameshift within the kinase domain, NM_007254.3:c.1545C>G p.(Tyr515*) is predicted to cause loss of 2 C-terminal amino acids of the kinase domain and 5 additional C-terminal amino acids.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adverse events of psychotherapy have often been neglected in research. In this study, potential adverse events of group psychotherapies in a psychiatric hospital were systematically assessed, explored for predictors and linked to treatment outcome. METHOD A naturalistic trial was conducted in 180 in-patients attending different group psychotherapies. Adverse events were assessed using three different measures: (i) weekly reporting of unwanted treatment reactions, (ii) mood changes in response to every single group session and (iii) premature group termination. RESULTS Different measures of adverse events were weakly associated. Deterioration of mood state and/or unwanted treatment reactions were experienced by 60-65% of all patients. Reports of unwanted treatment reactions decreased over time and were negatively associated with symptom improvement. However, mood state deterioration was constant and unrelated to treatment outcome. The rate of premature group termination was 34%. Significant predictors of adverse events included patient characteristics as well as disadvantageous group conditions. CONCLUSIONS For the majority of patients, group psychotherapy in the in-patient setting is associated with adverse events. Changes over time and a strong correlation with general symptom severity must be considered in the assessment and interpretation of adverse events. Predictors should be considered as potential risk factors in future research.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The prognosis of patients with early breast cancer is commonly estimated by prognostic factors obtained at the time of the initial diagnosis. However, patients and physicians alike are seeking for factors evaluating the prognosis years thereafter during follow-up. The identification of a patient group with an unfavourable prognosis could lead to secondary treatment intervention, potentially improving outcome. Aim of the study was to assess the added prognostic value of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and CA27.29 beyond established predictors.
Materials and Methods
Patients of the phase III SUCCESS-A study were included into this analysis (n=1005). SUCCESS-A is a chemotherapy study for high risk patients with a comprehensive translational research program, which included the determination of CTCs and CA27.29 two years after the initial diagnosis. A Cox regression model with disease-free survival (DFS) as outcome and well-established predictors (age, BMI, pT, pN, histology, grading, ER, PR, Her2neu) was compared with an extended Cox model with the well-established predictors and additionally CTC (>0 versus 0) two years after randomization, and CA27.29 (in U/mL) measured after chemotherapy and again two years after randomization using a likelihood ratio test. In case of significance, the extended model was applied to predict for each patient the risk of disease recurrence within the next 12 months (0 to 100%). Cross-validated AUC, sensitivity and specificity values were determined to assess clinical usefulness of risk prediction.
Results
The markers CA27.29 and CTC were both significantly associated with subsequent prognosis (p < 0.000001). The detection of CTCs increased the risk of subsequent DFS events (HR=2.14, 95%CI: 1.31-3.48), while CA27.29 after two years increased the risk for DFS events with a HR of 1.12 per U/mL increase (95%CI: 1.09-1.15). The combination of the two markers significantly empowered the prognostic relevance, with a HR of 6.64 for patients with CTCs and an elevated CA27.29 by 10 U/mL compared to patients without CTCs and without CA27.29 elevation. The mean risk of disease recurrence in the third year after randomization was 2.38%. Discrimination of patients with and without disease recurrence based on risk prediction from the extended Cox model (AUC: 0.80) was better than discrimination based on the clinical model without the markers CTC and CA27.29 (AUC: 0.64). Sensitivity with regard to decision thresholds 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% predicted risk was 0.89, 0.77, 0.65, and 0.55, respectively. The corresponding specificity was 0.42, 0.69, 0.81, and 0.88.
Discussion
Both CTCs and CA29.27 values determined 2 years after primary diagnosis are clinically relevant predictors of subsequent prognosis for those patients. This study extends evidence for active surveillance of breast cancer survivors. Identifying a group of women with a high recurrence risk after two years could be the basis for the development of secondary adjuvant treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Vedolizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against the α4β7 integrin, is indicated for treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. In this placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, single ascending-dose study, the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and tolerability of vedolizumab were evaluated in healthy volunteers. METHODS Forty-nine participants (in five cohorts) were randomly assigned in a 4:1 ratio to receive a single intravenous infusion of either vedolizumab (0.2, 0.5, 2.0, 6.0, or 10.0 mg/kg) or placebo. Blood samples were collected for measurement of vedolizumab serum concentrations and α4β7 saturation on peripheral blood lymphocytes by vedolizumab. Pharmacokinetic parameters were computed using a non-compartmental approach. Adverse events were monitored. RESULTS Vedolizumab maximum observed serum concentration (C max) demonstrated dose proportionality over the dose range tested. Greater than dose-proportional increases in area under the serum concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUC0-inf) and shorter terminal elimination half-life (t 1/2) were observed from 0.2 to 2.0 mg/kg, suggestive of nonlinear pharmacokinetics at lower doses. At doses higher than 2.0 mg/kg, these parameters increased dose proportionally. Saturation of α4β7 was at or near maximal levels (>90 %) at all doses and time points when vedolizumab was measurable in serum. A total of 21 of 39 (54 %) vedolizumab-treated participants were anti-drug antibody (ADA) positive, and 11 (28 %) were persistently ADA positive. Overall, no adverse event signals, including serious infections or malignancies, were apparent. CONCLUSIONS Vedolizumab exhibited target-mediated disposition, characterized by a rapid, saturable, nonlinear elimination process at low concentrations and a slower linear elimination process at higher concentrations. Nearly complete α4β7 saturation was observed at all doses. A single intravenous infusion of vedolizumab was well tolerated by healthy volunteers.
