Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) ART is a standard treatment used to reduce the risk of metastasis and recurrence in moderate‒to‒high-risk cSCC patients. Indications for ART have been largely based on pathologic risk factors and informed by staging systems, and while radiation oncologists generally designate a >10% risk threshold for usage of ART, there is no consensus on which groups of tumors may benefit from ART. The 40-GEP test has been independently validated to predict a cSCC patient's risk for regional/distant metastasis in patients with one or more high-risk clinicopathologic factors and reports three biologic risk groups: Class 1 (low, ∼7%), Class 2A (moderate, 20-25%), and Class 2B (high risk, >50%) for metastasis. This study aims to evaluate whether a biomarker informed risk stratification approach using a 40-GEP result could refine the ability to select patients with node negative cSCC at higher risk of metastasis who are most likely to benefit from ART. MATERIALS/METHODS In this retrospective study, all patients had primary cSCC tissue with verified clinicopathologic information of tumors with one or more high-risk factors, met clinical testing criteria, were comprehensively staged, and had outcomes data (n = 954). Patients with node positive disease, or those with nodal failure within 3 months of diagnosis were excluded (n = 19). From the n = 935, an intermediate risk population wherein ART is often considered was defined as Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) ≥T2a (n = 489). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and log-rank test were used to assess metastasis free survival (MFS). Univariate Cox regression compared metastasis rates between 40-GEP results. RESULTS The 3-year MFS rate for this eligible for ART cohort was 82.4% The 40-GEP demonstrated statistically significant risk stratification with MFS rates of 92.4%, 76.1% and 59.4% for Class 1, Class 2A and Class 2B, respectively (p<0.0001). Cox regression was significant for Class 2A and 2B compared to Class 1, with a 3.2-fold and 6.4-fold increase in metastasis, respectively (p<0.0001). 64% (59/92) of all metastases received a Class 2A result, and 44% (14/32) of Class 2B patients metastasized. 46% (223/489) of the cohort received a Class 1 result. Of patients staged BWH T1 (n = 446), those with a Class 2A and 2B had an 88.7% and 66.7% MFS rate, respectively. CONCLUSION Within this eligible for ART population, patients with Class 2A or 2B 40-GEP results have inferior rates of MFS, while Class 1 patients have <10% risk of metastasis. Nearly half of this population received a 40-GEP Class 1 result and could be considered for treatment de-intensification trials. Conversely, patients with low-risk BWH T1 stage, who are traditionally not considered for ART, that received a Class 2A or 2B (>10% risk of metastasis) could be considered for adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), assessing treatment response and bone lesions with technetium-99m is limited by image resolution and subjectivity. We evaluated bone scan lesion area (BSLA), a quantitative imaging assessment of response in patients with mCRPC receiving radium-223 alone or in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (abiraterone/prednisone or enzalutamide). PATIENTS AND METHODS This randomized, non-comparative phase IIa three-arm trial (NCT02034552) evaluated technetium-99m-based BSLA response rate (RR), safety, radiologic progression-free survival (rPFS), and time to first symptomatic skeletal event (SSE) in men with mCRPC and bone metastases receiving radium-223 with/without abiraterone/prednisone or enzalutamide. The primary endpoint was week 24 BSLA RR. RESULTS Overall, 63 patients received treatment (abiraterone/prednisone combination, n = 22; enzalutamide combination, n = 22; radium-223 monotherapy, n = 19). Median treatment duration (first to last dose of any study treatment) was 12 months (abiraterone/prednisone combination), 10 months (enzalutamide combination), and 3 months (radium-223 monotherapy). Week 24 BSLA RR was 58% [80% confidence interval (CI) 41% to 74%; one-sided P < 0.0001; 11/19 patients] with abiraterone/prednisone combination, 50% (32% to 68%; one-sided P < 0.0001; 8/16 patients) with enzalutamide combination, and 22% (10% to 40%; one-sided P = 0.0109; 4/18 patients) with radium-223 monotherapy. Median rPFS was not evaluable for combination arms and 4 months (80% CI 4 to 12) for monotherapy. SSEs were reported in 32% of patients; median time to first SSE was not estimable. Fatigue and back pain were the most commonly reported treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs); more patients receiving combination therapy than monotherapy had TEAEs. Fractures were reported in 18% receiving abiraterone/prednisone, 32% receiving enzalutamide, and 11% receiving radium-223 monotherapy. Fracture rates were lower in patients taking bone health agents versus not taking bone health agents at baseline. CONCLUSIONS Technetium-99m imaging BSLA may offer objective, quantifiable assessment of isotope uptake changes, and potentially treatment response, in patients with mCRPC and bone metastases treated with radium-223 alone or in combination with abiraterone/prednisone or enzalutamide. In this largely treatment-naive population, BSLA RR was numerically lower with radium-223 monotherapy versus combination therapy, indicating a limited role as first-line treatment. Use of radium-223 should follow evidence-based treatment guidelines and the licensed indication.

Abstract
Background:The anti–interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor-α antibody tocilizumab (TCZ) demonstrated skin score improvement and forced vital capacity (FVC) preservation in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in a phase 2 randomized controlled trial.1,2Data from the 48-week, double-blind (DB), placebo (PBO)-controlled period of the focuSSced phase 3 trial were previously presented,3and open-label (OL) data up to week 96 are presented herein.Objectives:To assess the long-term safety and efficacy of TCZ in SSc patients.Methods:Adult patients with active SSc (≤60-month duration, modified Rodnan skin score [mRSS] 10-35, and elevated acute-phase reactants) treated with PBO or TCZ in the DB period received OL TCZ 162 mg SC weekly from weeks 48 to 96 in the OL period (PBO→OL TCZ and TCZ→OL TCZ, respectively). Exploratory analysis of data up to week 96 included no formal statistical analyses. Changes in mRSS and percent predicted FVC (ppFVC) were assessed.Results:Overall, 92/105 TCZ (88%) and 89/107 PBO (83%) patients entered the OL TCZ treatment period at week 48, and 85/105 TCZ→OL TCZ (81%) and 82/107 PBO→OL TCZ (77%) patients completed treatment up to week 96. Continued decline in mRSS was observed in the OL period for PBO→OL TCZ and TCZ→OL TCZ patients (Table). Change in ppFVC for patients who switched from PBO to TCZ (PBO→OL TCZ) was comparable between weeks 48 and 96 (OL period) to the change in patients who received TCZ from BL to week 48 in the DB period (Table). Rates (95% CI) of serious adverse events from weeks 48 to 96 were 15.8 (8.6, 26.5) per 100 PY for TCZ→OL TCZ patients, 14.8 (7.9, 25.3) per 100 PY for PBO→OL TCZ patients, and 15.4 (11.0, 20.9) for all TCZ exposure over 96 weeks (n = 193). Rates (95% CI) of serious infections were 2.3 (0.3, 8.1) per 100 PY for TCZ→OL TCZ patients, 3.4 (0.7, 10.0) per 100 PY for PBO→OL TCZ patients, and 3.0 (1.3, 5.9) for all TCZ exposure over 96 weeks. One death occurred during the OL period in each arm.Conclusion:Although OL data have to be interpreted with caution, results from OL TCZ treatment show numeric improvements in mRSS and FVC preservation similar to those of the DB period, with a beneficial effect on trajectory of FVC decline in patients who switched from PBO to TCZ. Long-term safety results were consistent with the known safety profile of TCZ, and no new or unexpected events were observed.References:[1]Khanna D et al.Lancet2016;387:2630-40.[2]Khanna D et al.Ann Rheum Dis.2018;77:212-20.[3]Khanna D et al.Arthritis Rheumatol2018;70(suppl 10):abst 898.Table.Change in Efficacy From BaselineBaseline to Week 48Baseline to Week 96Week 48 to Week 96PBOTCZPBO→OL TCZTCZ→OL TCZPBO→OL TCZTCZ→OL TCZmRSS, mean (95% CI)a–5.3 (–6.9, –3.7)n = 92–6.7 (–8.0, –5.4)n = 97–8.4 (–10.0, –6.8)n = 83–9.6 (–10.9, –8.4)n = 85–2.5(–3.3, –1.6)n = 82–2.3(–3.2, –1.5)n = 85ppFVC, mean (95% CI) [median]–4.1 (–5.8, –2.4) [–3.9]n = 92–0.2 (–1.6, 1.2) [–0.7]n = 94–3.3 (–5.1, –1.5) [–3.1]n = 79–0.5 (–2.4, 1.3) [–1.4]n = 840.6 (–0.7, 1.9) [0.3]n = 78–0.3 (–1.7, 1.1) [0.0]n = 82Decline in ppFVC ≥10%, n/N (%)a15/91(16.5)5/93(5.4)14/79 (17.7)11/84 (13.1)NANAImprovement in ppFVC, n/N (%)a26/91(28.6)43/93(46.2)22/79(27.8)35/84(41.7)NANAaObserved data.

Abstract
Background:Filgotinib (FIL), an oral selective JAK1 inhibitor, has shown efficacy and safety in multiple phase 3 studies in adults with moderately-to-severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We have previously described the molecular response to FIL in large-scale RNA sequencing studies of gene expression in other RA populations1-3and herein conducted a similar study in RA patients (pts) with prior inadequate response to methotrexate (MTX; FINCH1).Objectives:Identify RA-associated gene transcripts and biological pathways that are altered in response to FIL treatment.Methods:RA pts who had an inadequate response to MTX were enrolled in FINCH1 (ClinicalTrials.govNCT02889796) and randomized to receive either a stable dose of MTX with placebo (PBO+MTX), adalimumab (ADA+MTX), or one of two doses of FIL (FIL 100mg+MTX, FIL 200mg+MTX) once daily (QD). Whole blood samples were collected from pts using PAXgene tubes at baseline, week 4, and week 12. RNA from these samples was extracted and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform following globin RNA depletion. Correlations between baseline gene expression and disease measurements were performed using Spearman’s rank partial correlation with covariates. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using voom-limma. Pathway analysis was performed on v6.1 of the Molecular Signature Database using single sample gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) with the focus on immune signaling pathways from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). A false-discovery rate of 5% was applied for all analyses.Results:Differential gene expression analyses comparing baseline samples with after-treatment samples revealed more rapid transcriptional kinetics for FIL-treated pts compared to ADA+MTX-treated pts. No significant DEGs were observed in PBO-treated pts. More significant DEGs were observed in the FIL 200mg+MTX arm compared to the FIL 100mg+MTX arm, consistent with the superior clinical efficacy of the FIL 200mg dosage. As with other FIL clinical trial RNA-seq studies and consistent with the selective MoA of FIL, JAK-STAT pathway-induced genes SOCS2 and CISH were significantly downregulated across both FIL treatment arms and timepoints, but not in the ADA+MTX arm. RA disease activity associated genes2-3FAM20A and METTL7B were significantly reduced at both 4 and 12 weeks only in the FIL 200mg+MTX arm. While no significant changes in KEGG immune signaling pathways were observed in the PBO+MTX arm, a dose-dependent effect on pathway modulation was observed in the FIL arms. The most prominently down-regulated KEGG pathways included JAK-STAT signaling and leukocyte transendothelial migration.Conclusion:More rapid and sustained changes of transcriptional activity were observed in the whole blood transcriptional profile of RA pts following FIL 200mg+MTX compared to ADA+MTX treatment. Dose-dependent changes were observed in FIL-treated pts, most notably in the KEGG JAK-STAT signaling pathway. These observations confirm an inhibition of JAK-STAT signaling by FIL and are consistent with the observed clinical efficacy of FIL in these pts.References:[1]Taylor PC, et al.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
It was reported that adult ostriches displayed the longest REM sleep episodes (up to 5 min) and more REM sleep (24% of the nighttime) than any other avian species. In all mammals studied so far REM sleep predominates at early age suggesting it promotes development of the brain. The aim of this study was to examine REM sleep in ostrich chicks.
Methods
EEG, electrooculogram and electromyogram of the neck muscles were recorded in 4 chronically implanted 2–3 month old ostrich chicks over 3 nights. The last night was scored in 4-sec epochs for waking, nonREM and REM sleep.
Results
NonREM sleep and REM sleep in the ostrich chicks occurred when they were sitting or lying with the head held above the ground or rested on the ground. REM sleep was characterized by distinct rapid eye movements, head drops and eye closure. The amplitude of the EEG during episodes of REM sleep ranged between low voltage EEG, as recorded during quiet waking and high voltage slow waves, as recorded during nonREM sleep EEG. The ostrich chicks spent on average 70.7 + 2.2% of the nighttime in nonREM sleep and 12.3 + 3.9% in REM sleep. The episodes of REM sleep lasted on average 9 + 1 sec and ranged between 4 and 36 sec.
Conclusion
Similar to adult birds, 2–3 mo old ostrich chicks displayed a “mixed” sleep state which has features of both slow wave sleep / nonREM and REM sleep, as we have described in the platypus and echidna. An unexpected result of this study is the total amount and duration of episodes of REM were considerably smaller than has been reported in adult ostriches. More studies need to be done on the developmental and environmental determinants of REM sleep in the ostrich.

Abstract
Metal-dielectric nanocomposites are multiphase material systems containing nanostructures, whose size and arrangement determine the optical properties of the material, enabling the production of new materials with custom-designed response. In this paper, we exploit a femtosecond laser-based strategy to fabricate nanocomposites based on silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with tunable optical spectral response. We demonstrate how the spectral response, specifically color and dichroic response, is linked to Ag NPs growth and self-organization processes that are controlled locally by the choice of the laser irradiation parameters, such as scan speed and laser light polarization. When the scan speed increases, the Ag NPs are formed at larger depths below the film surface and give rise to the formation of embedded NPs gratings. As a result, the effective optical properties of the films are strongly modified enabling the display of a broad range of solid colors in the visible region. Furthermore, the choice of the laser light polarization allows to fabricate films either with iridescent or dichroic properties (linear polarization) or with non-diffractive and non-dichroic colors (circular polarization). Finally, the high spatial control over the transformed areas achieved with the laser processing, allows the building of hybrid nanostructures by means of interlacing structures with different optical responses. These results demonstrate the high potential of fs-laser technology to process Ag-based nanocomposites to fabricate coatings with a designed reflectivity, transmission, diffraction, as well as polarization anisotropy response. The Ag nanocomposites investigated in this work hold great promise for a broad range of applications especially for coloring, for enhanced visual effects, and for smart information encoding for security applications.

Abstract
Polymeric biomaterials with antibacterial effects are requisite materials in the fight against hospital-acquired infections. An effective way for constructing a second generation of antibacterials is to exploit the synergic effect of (i) patterning of polymeric materials by a laser, and (ii) deposition of noble metals in their nanostructured forms. With this approach, we prepared highly-ordered periodic structures (ripples) on polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). Subsequent deposition of Ag under the glancing angle of 70° resulted in the formation of self-organized, fully separated Ag nanowire (Ag NW) arrays homogenously distributed on PEN surface. Surface properties of these samples were characterized by AFM and XPS. Vacuum evaporation of Ag at the glancing angle geometry of 70° caused that Ag NWs were formed predominantly from one side of the ripples, near to the top of the ridges. The release of Ag+ ions into physiological solution was studied by ICP-MS. The results of antibacterial tests predetermine these novel structures as promising materials able to fight against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, however, their observed cytotoxicity warns about their applications in the contact with living tissues.

Abstract
Non-conventional antimicrobial agents, such as palladium nanostructures, have been increasingly used in the medicinal technology. However, experiences uncovering their harmful and damaging effects to human health have begun to appear. In this study, we have focused on in vitro cytotoxicity assessment of Pd nanostructures supported on a biocompatible polymer. Pd nanolayers of variable thicknesses (ranging from 1.1 to 22.4nm) were sputtered on polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). These nanolayers were transformed by low-temperature post-deposition annealing into discrete nanoislands. Samples were characterized by AFM, XPS, ICP-MS and electrokinetic analysis before and after annealing. Sterilization of samples prior to cytotoxicity testing was done by UV irradiation, autoclave and/or ethanol. Among the listed sterilization techniques, we have chosen the gentlest one which had minimal impact on sample morphology, Pd dissolution and overall Pd/PEN interface quality. Cytotoxic response of Pd nanostructures was determined by WST-1 cell viability assay in vitro using three model cell lines: mouse macrophages (RAW 264.7) and two types of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (L929 and NIH 3T3). Finally, cell morphology in response to Pd/PEN was evaluated by means of fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
This study involved the development of a model for evaluating the potential costs and benefits of ozone control by activated carbon filtration in single-family homes. The modeling effort included the prediction of indoor ozone with and without activated carbon filtration in the HVAC system. As one application, the model was used to predict benefit-to-cost ratios for single-family homes in 12 American cities in five different climate zones. Health benefits were evaluated using disability-adjusted life-years and included city-specific age demographics for each simulation. Costs of commercially available activated carbon filters included capital cost differences when compared to conventional HVAC filters of similar particle removal efficiency, energy penalties due to additional pressure drop, and regional utility rates. The average indoor ozone removal effectiveness ranged from 4 to 20% across the 12 target cities and was largely limited by HVAC system operation time. For the parameters selected in this study, the mean predicted benefit-to-cost ratios for 1-inch filters were >1.0 in 10 of the 12 cities. The benefits of residential activated carbon filters were greatest in cities with high seasonal ozone and HVAC usage, suggesting the importance of targeting such conditions for activated carbon filter applications.

Abstract
Though the public consciousness is typically focused on factors such as psychology, penis size, and the presence of the "G-spot," there are other anatomical and neuro-anatomic differences that could play an equal, or more important, role in the frequency and intensity of orgasms. Discovering these variations could direct further medical or procedural management to improve sexual satisfaction. The aim of this study is to review the available literature of anatomical sexual variation and to explain why this variation may predispose some patients toward a particular sexual experience. In this review, we explored the available literature on sexual anatomy and neuro-anatomy. We used PubMed and OVID Medline for search terms, including orgasm, penile size variation, clitoral variation, Grafenberg spot, and benefits of orgasm. First we review the basic anatomy and innervation of the reproductive organs. Then we describe several anatomical variations that likely play a superior role to popular known variation (penis size, presence of g-spot, etc). For males, the delicate play between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems is vital to achieve orgasm. For females, the autonomic component is more complex. The clitoris is the primary anatomical feature for female orgasm, including its migration toward the anterior vaginal wall. In conclusions, orgasms are complex phenomena involving psychological, physiological, and anatomic variation. While these variations predispose people to certain sexual function, future research should explore how to surgically or medically alter these. Clin.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Particles in retail environments can have consequences for the occupational exposures of retail workers and customers, as well as the energy costs associated with ventilation and filtration. Little is known about particle characteristics in retail environments. We measured indoor and outdoor mass concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 , number concentrations of submicron particles (0.02-1 μm), size-resolved 0.3-10 μm particles, as well as ventilation rates in 14 retail stores during 24 site visits in Pennsylvania and Texas. Overall, the results were generally suggestive of relatively clean environments when compared to investigations of other building types and ambient/occupational regulatory limits. PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations (mean ± s.d.) were 20 ± 14 and 11 ± 10 μg/m(3), respectively, with indoor-to-outdoor ratios of 1.0 ± 0.7 and 0.88 ± 1.0. Mean submicron particle concentrations were 7220 ± 7500 particles/cm(3) with an indoor-to-outdoor ratio of 1.18 ± 1.30. The median contribution to PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations from indoor sources (vs. outdoors) was 83% and 53%, respectively. There were no significant correlations between measured ventilation rates and particle concentrations of any size. When examining options to lower PM2.5 concentrations below regulatory limits, the required changes to ventilation and filtration efficiency were site specific and depended on the indoor and outdoor concentration, emission rate, and infiltration level. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS Little is known about particle concentrations, contribution of indoor sources, and emission rates in retail environments. Knowledge of these particle characteristics informs health scientists with input parameters to include in exposure modeling. The predicted concentration change in response to different ventilation rates and filtration efficiencies may be used for guidance to develop control strategies to lower particulate matter concentrations in retail environments.

Abstract
We report on the fabrication of laser-induced periodic surface structures in Cr films upon high repetition rate fs laser irradiation (up to 1 MHz, 500 fs, 1030 nm), employing beam scanning. Highly regular large-area (9 cm2) gratings with a relative diffraction efficiency of 42% can be produced within less than 6 min. The ripple period at moderate and high fluences is 0.9 μm, with a small period of 0.5 μm appearing at lower energies. The role of the irradiation parameters on the characteristics of the laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) is studied and discussed in the frame of the models presently used. We have identified the polarization vector orientation with respect to the scan direction as a key parameter for the fabrication of high-quality, large-area LIPSS, which, for perpendicular orientation, allows the coherent extension of the sub-wavelength structure over macroscopic distances. The processing strategy is robust in terms of broad parameter windows and applicable to other materials featuring LIPSS.

Abstract
In this Letter, we report on the successful fabrication of low loss, high refractive index contrast waveguides via ion migration upon femtosecond laser writing in phosphate glass. Waveguides were produced in two different phosphate glass compositions with high and low La(2)O(3) content. In the La-rich glass, a large refractive index increase in the guiding region was observed due to the incoming migration of La accompanied by the out-diffusion of K. The much smaller refractive index change in the La-less glass is caused by rearrangements of the glass structure. These results confirm the feasibility of adapting the glass composition for enabling the laser writing of high refractive index contrast structures via spatially selective modification of the glass composition.

Abstract
We demonstrate that 2D distributions of non-spherical near-coalescence silver nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in an ultrathin dielectric film can be reorganized, shaped and aligned by exposure to ultrashort laser pulses. As-grown samples prepared by pulsed laser deposition show a broad absorption band with a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) at 650 nm, which can be blue-shifted down to 440 nm and transformed to show polarization anisotropy. In situ white light probing of the spectral sample transmission allows control during irradiation of the position and polarization anisotropy of the SPR, effectively controlling particle reorganization and shaping. Using the high spatial resolution of the optical probe technique (better than 10 μm), the dependence of the nanoparticle shape and distribution on the local fluence can be studied in a single irradiated region. The results inferred from the spectral measurements have been confirmed by TEM studies, showing the formation of nanoparticles with prolate shape, preferential alignment along the polarization axis of the laser and a narrow size distribution. This simple and efficient approach for NP shaping and the straightforward extension to multilayer systems offer excellent perspectives for optical encoding, multidimensional data storage and fabrication of complex, polarization-sensitive spectral masks starting from thin films with near-coalescence distributions of NPs.

Abstract
We have used a low repetition rate (1 kHz), femtosecond laser amplifier in combination with a spatial light modulator (SLM) to write optical waveguides with controllable cross-section inside a phosphate glass sample. The SLM is used to induce a controllable amount of astigmatism in the beam wavefront while the beam ellipticity is controlled through the propagation distance from the SLM to the focusing optics of the writing set-up. The beam astigmatism leads to the formation of two separate disk-shaped foci lying in orthogonal planes. Additionally, the ellipticity has the effect of enabling control over the relative peak irradiances of the two foci, making it possible to bring the peak irradiance of one of them below the material transformation threshold. This allows producing a single waveguide with controllable cross-section. Numerical simulations of the irradiance distribution at the focal region under different beam shaping conditions are compared to in situ obtained experimental plasma emission images and structures produced inside the glass, leading to a very satisfactory agreement. Finally, guiding structures with controllable cross-section are successfully produced in the phosphate glass using this approach.

Abstract
9033 Background: The monoclonal antibody ipilimumab targets cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4. Updated survival data (≤32.5 months follow-up) from 3 Phase II trials of ipilimumab in pts with mostly pretreated advanced melanoma are reported. Methods: Study CA184008 was an open-label, single-arm study of ipilimumab 10 mg/kg. Study CA184022 was a randomized, dose-ranging study of ipilimumab 0.3, 3, or 10 mg/kg. Study CA184007 was a randomized, placebo-controlled study of the effect of budesonide on gastrointestinal immune-related adverse events in pts receiving ipilimumab 10 mg/kg. In all studies, ipilimumab was given every 3 weeks (Q3W) × 4 (induction); eligible pts could continue to receive maintenance ipilimumab Q12W from week 24. Pts continue to be followed-up to determine long-term survival. Results: With a median follow-up ranging from 10.1 to 16.3 months and reaching up to 32.5+ months, pts receiving 10 mg/kg ipilimumab showed durable survival; 12- and 18-month survival rates are presented [ Table ]. The tail of the Kaplan-Meier curve flattened at 18 months, indicating that a substantial proportion of patients continued to survive beyond the updated follow-up period in all three studies. Long-term survivors include pts with disease progression (PD) per modified World Health Organization (mWHO) criteria. Conclusions: Ipilimumab may result in a long-term survival benefit in pts with advanced melanoma, where 18-month survival rates across 3 Phase II studies range from 34.5% to 39.4% for previously treated pts. These results indicate that more than 1/3 of ipilimumab-treated pts with advanced melanoma experience a long-term survival benefit, including some pts characterized as PD by mWHO. The survival data continue to mature, and follow-up is ongoing. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To make recommendations on how to report disease activity in clinical trials of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) endorsed by the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) and the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). METHODS The project followed the EULAR standardised operating procedures, which use a three-step approach: (1) expert-based definition of relevant research questions (November 2006); (2) systematic literature search (November 2006 to May 2007); and (3) expert consensus on recommendations based on the literature search results (May 2007). In addition, since this is the first joint EULAR/ACR publication on recommendations, an extra step included a meeting with an ACR panel to approve the recommendations elaborated by the expert group (August 2007). RESULTS Eleven relevant questions were identified for the literature search. Based on the evidence from the literature the expert panel recommended that each trial should report the following items: (1) disease activity response and disease activity states; (2) appropriate descriptive statistics of the baseline, the endpoints and change of the single variables included in the core set; (3) baseline disease activity levels (in general); (4) the percentage of patients achieving a low disease activity state and remission; (5) time to onset of the primary outcome; (6) sustainability of the primary outcome; (7) fatigue. CONCLUSIONS These recommendations endorsed by EULAR and ACR will help harmonise the presentations of results from clinical trials. Adherence to these recommendations will provide the readership of clinical trials with more details of important outcomes, while the higher level of homogeneity may facilitate the comparison of outcomes across different trials and pooling of trial results, such as in meta-analyses.
