Abstract
BACKGROUND Refractoriness and relapse after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy have emerged as major challenges for immunotherapy of aggressive large B-cell lymphoma. Thus far, there is no consensus on how to address treatment failure and whether to administer maintenance therapy following CAR-T cell therapy. METHODS From August 2017 through November 2022, 52 patients with refractory/relapsed aggressive LBCL who had a high risk of resistance to CAR-T cell therapy were given chidamide in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor as maintenance therapy following either CAR19/22 T-cell cocktail therapy or CAR19/22 T-cell cocktail therapy plus autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Another 52 aggressive LBCL patients who had comparable baseline characteristics and received similar therapeutic regimens but did not receive any interventions following CAR-T cell therapy or CAR-T cell therapy plus ASCT were regarded as the control group to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of chidamide and a PD-1 inhibitor. RESULTS Among the 52 patients who received chidamide and a PD-1 inhibitor as maintenance therapy, with a median follow-up of 26.5 months (range: 1.1-53.8), neither the median progression-free survival (PFS) nor overall survival (OS) was reached, and the expected 2-year OS and PFS rates were 89 % and 77 %, respectively, which were superior to those of the control group (p < 0.001). Long-term chidamide administration and a specific genetic subtype of EZB were strongly associated with a better response after chidamide plus PD-1 blockade therapy. Additionally, long-term chidamide administration was significantly associated with prolonged persistence and reactivation of CD19-directed CAR-T cells in the peripheral blood. Adverse effects (AEs) were moderate and reversible, and no treatment-related deaths occurred. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that the combination of chidamide and PD-1 blockade as maintenance therapy could improve the outcomes of aggressive LBCL patients at high risk of failing CAR-T cell therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells obtained long-term durability in about 30% to 40% of relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). Maintenance therapy after CAR-T is necessary, and PD1 inhibitor is one of the important maintenance therapy options. METHODS A total of 173 r/r B-NHL patients treated with PD1 inhibitor maintenance following CD19/22 CAR-T therapy alone or combined with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) from March 2019 to July 2022 were assessed for eligibility for two trials. There were 81 patients on PD1 inhibitor maintenance therapy. RESULTS In the CD19/22 CAR-T therapy trial, the PD1 inhibitor maintenance group indicated superior objective response rate (ORR) (82.9% vs 60%; P = 0.04) and 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) (59.8% vs 21.3%; P = 0.001) than the non-maintenance group. The estimated 2-year overall survival (OS) was comparable in the two groups (60.1% vs 45.1%; P = 0.112). No difference was observed in the peak expansion levels of CD19 CAR-T and CD22 CAR-T between the two groups. The persistence time of CD19 and CD22 CAR-T in the PD1 inhibitor maintenance group was longer than that in the non-maintenance group. In the CD19/22 CAR-T therapy combined with ASCT trial, no significant differences in ORR (81.4% vs 84.8%; P = 0.67), 2-year PFS (72.3% vs 74.9%; P = 0.73), and 2-year OS (84.1% vs 80.7%; P = 0.79) were observed between non-maintenance and PD1 inhibitor maintenance therapy groups. The peak expansion levels and duration of CD19 and CD22 CAR-T were not statistically different between the two groups. During maintenance treatment with PD1 inhibitor, all adverse events were manageable. In the multivariable analyses, type and R3m were independent predictive factors influencing the OS of r/r B-NHL with PD1 inhibitor maintenance after CAR-T therapy. CONCLUSION PD1 inhibitor maintenance following CD19/22 CAR-T therapy obtained superior response and survival in r/r B-NHL, but not in the trial of CD19/22 CAR-T cell therapy combined with ASCT.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review is to highlight key published oral immunotherapy (OIT) protocols and post-desensitization strategies for the major food allergens and to cover important concepts to consider when evaluating OIT for food-allergic patients. Shared decision-making should help identify patient and family values which will help influence the type of evidence-based protocol and maintenance strategy to use. RECENT FINDINGS With food OIT emerging as a treatment option, there is a pressing need for patients, physicians, and other providers to have a nuanced understanding of the management choices available to them. There are now randomized controlled trials (RCT) of OIT for peanut, egg, milk, and wheat, and reports of cohorts of patients who have undergone OIT for tree nuts and sesame clinically. The current published protocols contain significant diversity in terms of starting dose, build-up schedule, maintenance dose, and even the product used for desensitization. Emerging data can help direct the long-term maintenance strategy for patients on OIT. Based on patient and family values elicited through the shared decision-making process, an OIT protocol may be selected that balances the level of desensitization, potential side effects, frequency of clinic visits, and potential to induce sustained unresponsiveness, among other factors. Once maintenance dosing is reached, most patients will need to maintain regular exposure to the food allergen to remain desensitized. The option to transition to commercial food products with equivalent amounts of food protein as the OIT maintenance dose would simplify the dosing process and perhaps improve palatability as well. Less frequent or decreased OIT dosing can provide practical benefits but may affect the level of desensitization and safety for some patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Mild asthma treatment recommendations include intermittent inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/formoterol dosing or regular ICS dosing with short-acting β2-agonist reliever. Due to the heterogeneity of asthma, identification of traits associated with improved outcomes to specific treatments would be clinically beneficial. AIMS/OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of patient traits on treatment outcomes of regular ICS dosing compared with intermittent ICS/formoterol dosing, a systematic literature review (SLR) and network meta-analysis (NMA) was conducted. Searches identified randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of patients with asthma aged ≥12 years, containing ≥1 regular ICS dosing or intermittent ICS/formoterol dosing treatment arm, reporting traits and outcomes of interest. RESULTS The SLR identified 11 RCTs of mild asthma, of 14,516 patients. A total of 11 traits and 11 outcomes of interest were identified. Of these, a feasibility assessment indicated possible assessment of three traits (age, baseline lung function, smoking history) and two outcomes (exacerbation rate, change in lung function). The NMA found no significant association of any trait with any outcome with regular ICS dosing relative to intermittent ICS/formoterol dosing. Inconsistent reporting of traits and outcomes between RCTs limited analysis. CONCLUSIONS This is the first systematic analysis of associations between patient traits and differential treatment outcomes in mild asthma. Although the traits analysed were not found to significantly interact with relative treatment response, inconsistent reporting from the RCTs prevented assessment of some of the most clinically relevant traits and outcomes, such as adherence. More consistent reporting of respiratory RCTs would provide more comparable data and aid future analyses.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) stands as the second most prevalent hematological malignancy, constituting approximately 10% of all hematological malignancies. Current guidelines recommend upfront autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for transplant-eligible MM patients. This study seeks to delineate factors influencing post-ASCT outcomes in MM patients. Our cohort comprised 150 MM patients from Taipei Veterans General Hospital, with progression-free survival (PFS) as the primary endpoint and overall survival (OS) as the secondary endpoint. A Cox proportional hazards model was employed to discern potential predictive factors for survival. ASCT age ≥ 65 (hazard ratio [HR] 1.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08-3.47) and the presence of extramedullary disease (HR 2.53, 95% CI 1.53-4.19) negatively impacted PFS. Conversely, treatment response ≥ VGPR before ASCT (HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.31-0.87) and total CD34+ cells collected ≥ 4 × 106 cells/kg on the first stem cell harvesting (HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.32-0.87) were positively associated with PFS. For OS, patients with ISS stage III (HR 2.06, 95% CI 1.05-4.04), the presence of extramedullary disease (HR 3.92, 95% CI 2.03-7.58), light chain ratio ≥ 100 before ASCT (HR 7.08, 95% CI 1.45-34.59), post-ASCT cytomegalovirus infection (HR 9.43, 95% CI 3.09-28.84), and a lower conditioning melphalan dose (< 140 mg/m2; HR 2.75, 95% CI 1.23-6.17) experienced shorter OS. In contrast, post-ASCT day + 15 absolute monocyte counts (D15 AMC) > 500/µl (HR 0.36, 95% CI 0.17-0.79) and post-ASCT day + 15 platelet counts (D15 PLT) > 80,000/µl (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.24-0.94) were correlated with improved OS. Significantly, early PLT and AMC recovery on day + 15 predicting longer OS represents a novel finding not previously reported. Other factors also align with previous studies. Our study provides real-world insights for post-ASCT outcome prediction beyond clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maintenance therapy (MT) for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer remains non-standardized. This study assessed MT effectiveness using a comprehensive approach and identifies prognosis factors inpatients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. METHODS From January 2019 and December 2021, over 6000 patients from six Chinese institutions were retrospectively examined. Patients had recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer and underwent first-line chemotherapy with or without MT. We calculated overall and progression-free survival using Kaplan-Meier analysis, comparing via log-rank test, and conducted Cox regression for prognostic factors. RESULTS Overall, 274 patients were stratified into an MT group (n = 77) and a non-MT group (n = 197). The 3-year OS rates were 52.5 % and 28.0 % for the MT and non-MT groups, respectively. The MT group had significantly enhanced median OS (37 vs. 21 months; HR, 0.43; 95 % CI, 0.30-0.61; P < 0.001) and PFS (21 vs. 14 months; HR, 0.65; 95 % CI, 0.47-0.90; P = 0.014) compared with the non-MT group. No significant differences in efficacy were observed among the various MT regimens, whether PD-1 monoclonal antibody, targeted therapeutic agents, or a combination of both. Extended PFS and OS were observed in patients receiving > 8 MT cycles. Multivariate analyses revealed that oligometastasis, MT, exclusive prior surgery (as opposed to combined surgery and radiotherapy), and extended interval before recurrence were independent OS predictors (P = 0.045, P < 0.001, P = 0.010, and P = 0.005, respectively); oligometastasis, concurrent radiotherapy, MT, and extended interval before recurrence were independent PFS predictors (P = 0.004, P = 0.007, P = 0.009, and P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS The MT integration markedly extended PFS and OS in patients diagnosed with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.

Zhang N, Zheng H, Gao Y, Shu T, Wang H, Cai Y. A real-world study of treatment patterns following disease progression in epithelial ovarian cancer patients undergoing poly-ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitor maintenance therapy. J Ovarian Res 2024; 17:55.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of subsequent therapy after poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor maintenance treatment has raised concerns. Retrospective studies show worse outcomes for platinum-based chemotherapy after progression of PARP inhibitor-maintenance therapy, especially in BRCA-mutant patients. We aimed to describe subsequent therapy in ovarian cancer patients after PARP inhibitor-maintenance therapy and evaluate their response to treatment. We focused on chemotherapy for patients with a progression-free interval (PFI) of ≥ 6 months after prior platinum treatment, based on BRCA status. METHODS We analyzed real-world data from Peking University Cancer Hospital, subsequent therapy after progression to PARP inhibitor-maintenance therapy for epithelial ovarian cancer between January 2016 and December 2022. Clinicopathological characteristics and treatment outcomes were extracted from medical records. The last follow-up was in May 2023. RESULTS A total of 102 patients were included, of which 29 (28.4%) had a germline BRCA1/2 mutation and 73 (71.6%) exhibited BRCA1/2 wild-type mutations. The PARP inhibitors used were Olaparib (n = 62, 60.8%), Niraparib (n = 35, 34.3%), and others (n = 5, 4.9%). The overall response rate (ORR) was 41.2%, and the median time to second progression (mTTSP) was 8.1 months (95%CI 5.8-10.2). Of 91 platinum-sensitive patients (PFI ≥ 6 months) after progression to PARP inhibitor-maintenance therapy, 65 patients subsequently received platinum regimens. Among them, 30 had received one line of chemotherapy before PARP inhibitor-maintenance therapy. Analysis of these 30 patients by BRCA status showed an ORR of 16.7% versus 33.3% and mTTSP of 7.1 (95% CI 4.9-9.1) versus 6.2 months (95% CI 3.7-8.3, P = 0.550), for BRCA-mutant and wild-type patients, respectively. For the remaining 35 patients who had received two or more lines of chemotherapy before PARP inhibitor-maintenance therapy, ORR was 57.1% versus 42.9%, and mTTSP was 18.0 (95% CI 5.0-31.0) versus 8.0 months (95% CI 4.9-11.1, P = 0.199), for BRCA-mutant and wild-type patients, respectively. CONCLUSION No differences in survival outcomes were observed among patients with different BRCA statuses. Furthermore, for patients who had undergone two or more lines of chemotherapy before PARP inhibitor maintenance therapy, no negative effects of PARP inhibitors on subsequent treatment were found, regardless of BRCA status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of extended steroid administration on patients with autoimmune pancreatitis after a 3-year maintenance period remains poorly understood. This study analyzed the advantage and disadvantage of continuing steroid therapy beyond 3 years. METHODS In this retrospective multicenter study across 17 institutions, patients who successfully completed 3 years of maintenance therapy without experiencing relapse were categorized into two groups: the maintenance therapy discontinuation group, who discontinued steroid therapy after the initial 3-year period, and maintenance therapy continuation group, who continued steroid therapy beyond 3 years. The cumulative relapse rate after 3 years of maintenance therapy was the primary outcome. Relapse predictors were compared using the Gray test for cumulative relapse incidence by specific factor. RESULTS Of 211 patients, 105 experienced no relapse during the 3-year maintenance therapy and were divided into two groups: 69 in the maintenance therapy discontinuation group and 36 in the maintenance therapy continuation group. The relapse rate was lower in the maintenance therapy continuation group than in the maintenance therapy discontinuation group (P = 0.035). Predictors of relapse after 3 years included cessation of maintenance therapy (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.76; 95 % confidence interval [CI] = 1.07-13.3, P = 0.040) and renal involvement (HR = 2.88; 95 % CI = 1.04-7.99, P = 0.042). The maintenance therapy continuation group showed a significantly higher prevalence of macrovascular complications, compared with the maintenance therapy discontinuation group (P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Cessation of steroid maintenance therapy and renal involvement were predictors of relapse after 3 years of maintenance therapy. However, the long-term use of steroids may increase the risk of macrovascular complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In metastatic RAS wild-type colorectal cancer (CRC), induction combination chemotherapy doublets (CT) with an anti-EGFR agent are considered the primary treatment. We performed a network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare the relative efficacy of different maintenance treatments for advanced RAS wild-type CRC. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane, from database inception until December 2021 were used. Randomized clinical trials enrolling adults with advanced RAS wild-type CRC and providing overall survival (OS) and/or progression-free survival (PFS) data PRISMA guidelines for NMA were followed. Between-group comparisons were estimated using hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% credible intervals (95% CrIs). Agents were ranked using surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) probabilities. RESULTS A total of 7 randomized phase 2 trials were included (for a total of 1286 patients). Compared to depotentiation treatments, continuous CT + anti-EGFR was not significantly superior to other maintenance regimens for OS and was ranked as the best option for NMA (SUCRA p-score=0.69). Conversely, in the PFS analysis, single-agent fluoropyrimidines + anti-EGFR was ranked as the best treatment (SUCRA p-score=0.60). CONCLUSIONS Maintaining chemotherapy doublet + anti-EGFR until progression appears to be the best first-line strategy in terms of OS for advanced unresectable RAS wild-type mCRC treatment. However, fluoropyrimidines single-agent + cetuximab or panitumumab represent a reasonable choice regarding PFS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare, highly invasive malignant neoplasm. There is no universally accepted standard of care because of its rarity and the dearth of prospective research. It is still challenging for some patients to achieve persistent clinical remission or cure, despite the success of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), indicating that there is still a significant recurrence rate. We report a case of prevention of BPDCN allograft recurrence by azacitidine maintenance therapy and review the relevant literature. CASE SUMMARY We report a 41-year-old man with BPDCN who was admitted to hospital due to skin sclerosis for > 5 mo' duration. BPDCN was diagnosed by combined clinical assessment and laboratory examinations. Following diagnosis, the patients underwent induction consolidation chemotherapy to achieve the first complete remission, followed by bridging allo-HSCT. Post-transplantation, azacitidine (75 mg/m2 for 7 d) was administered as maintenance therapy, with repeat administration every 4-6 wk and appropriate extension of the chemotherapy cycle. After 10 cycles, the patient has been disease free for 26 mo after transplantation. Regular assessments of bone marrow morphology, minimal residual disease, full donor chimerism, Epstein-Barr virus, and cytomegalovirus all yielded normal results with no abnormalities detected. CONCLUSION Azacitidine may be a safe and effective maintenance treatment for BPDCN following transplantation because there were no overt adverse events during the course of treatment.

Abstract
Introduction Whether white blood cell (WBC) counts are predictors for the effectiveness of thiopurine treatment in ulcerative colitis (UC) has been inconclusive in previous studies with small sample sizes. We investigated the association between WBC counts and future relapses in UC patients in a large-scale multi-center study. Methods This retrospective cohort study enrolled a total of 723 UC patients in remission from 33 hospitals and followed up for 3 years. Relapse was defined as a need for treatment intensification. The risk of relapse was compared among patients with the baseline WBC counts <3,000/µL (N = 31), 3,000-4,000/µL (N = 167), 4,000-5,000/µL (N = 241), and ≥5,000/µL (N = 284) using a Cox regression model analysis. Moreover, exploratory analyses were conducted to identify other factors predicting relapse. Results During a median follow-up period of 1,095 (interquartile range, 1,032-1,119) days, relapse occurred in 17.2% (125/723). In a crude analysis, WBC counts were not associated with relapse; hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence interval [CI]) were 1.50 (0.74-3.06), 1.02 (0.66-1.59), and 0.67 (0.43-1.05) in WBC <3,000/µL, 3,000-4,000/µL, and 4,000-5,000/µL groups, respectively (WBC ≥5,000/µL group, as reference). Multivariable-adjusted analyses showed similar results; HRs (95% CI) were 1.21 (0.59-2.49), 1.08 (0.69-1.69), and 0.69 (0.44-1.07), in <3,000/µL, 3,000-4,000/µL, and 4,000-5,000/µL groups, respectively. In the exploratory analyses, thiopurine use <1 year and a mean corpuscular volume <90 fL were predictors for relapse. Discussion/Conclusion WBC counts were not predictors for future relapses in patients with UC treated with thiopurine as a maintenance therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Asthma treatments based solely on diagnostic label do not benefit patients equally. To identify patient traits that may be associated with improved treatment response to regular inhaled corticosteroid (ICSs) dosing with short-acting β2-agonist reliever or ICS/formoterol-containing therapy, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted. METHODS Searches of databases including MEDLINE and Embase identified randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of patients with asthma, aged ≥12 years, published 1998-2022, containing ≥1 regular ICS dosing or ICS/formoterol-containing treatment arm, and reporting patient traits and outcomes of interest. Relevant data was extracted and underwent a feasibility assessment to determine suitability for meta-analysis. RESULTS The SLR identified 39 RCTs of 72,740 patients and 90 treatment arms, reporting 11 traits and 11 outcomes. Five patient traits (age, body mass index, FEV1, smoking history, asthma control) and five outcomes (exacerbation rate, lung function, asthma control, adherence, time to first exacerbation) were deemed feasible for inclusion in meta-analyses due to sufficient comparable reporting. Subgroups of clinical outcomes stratified by levels of patient traits were reported in 16 RCTs. CONCLUSION A systematic review of studies of regular ICS dosing with SABA or ICS/formoterol-containing treatment strategies in asthma identified consistent reporting of five traits and outcomes, allowing exploration of associations with treatment response. Conversely, many other traits and outcomes, although being potentially relevant, were inconsistently reported and limited subgroup reporting meant analyses of treatment response for subgroups of traits was not possible. We recommend more consistent measurement and reporting of clinically relevant patient traits and outcomes in respiratory RCTs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lithium is considered the gold standard for the treatment of bipolar affective disorder for the prevention of recurrence of manic and depressive episodes and for augmentation treatment in unipolar severe depressive episodes. The indications for treatment with lithium do not differ for older or younger patients. Nevertheless, there are a number of aspects to be considered with respect to drug safety in the group of old patients. OBJECTIVE The aim was to give an overview of the current literature on lithium treatment in old age and from this to derive recommendations for action. MATERIAL AND METHODS A selective literature review on lithium treatment in old age was conducted to answer questions on drug safety, monitoring (particularly with respect to comorbidities) and potential alternatives to lithium. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Lithium is an effective and, if used correctly, safe drug also in old people; however, with respect to somatic comorbidities that increase with age, special caution is required when using lithium in order to prevent nephropathy and intoxication.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of daratumumab as a maintenance treatment after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) . Methods: The clinical data, hematological and renal response, and safety of 15 post-transplant patients with NDMM who had received daratumumab maintenance between May 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Fifteen patients (11 males and 4 females) with a median age of 58 (41-72) years were included. Thirteen patients did not receive daratumumab during induction therapy and auto-HSCT, 6 patients had renal impairment, and nine patients had high-risk cytogenetics. The median infusion of daratumumab was 12 (6-17) times, and the median duration of maintenance was 6 (1.5-12) months. The treatment efficacy was evaluated in all 15 patients, and daratumumab maintenance therapy increased the rate of stringent complete response from 40% to 60%. The renal response rate and median estimated glomerular filtration rate of six patients with RI-NDMM were also improved. During daratumumab maintenance therapy, the most common hematological grade 3 adverse event (AE) was lymphopenia [4 of 15 patients (26.67%) ], whereas the most common nonhematologic AEs were infusion-related reactions [7 of 15 patients (46.67%) ] and grade 3 pneumonia [5 of 15 patients (33.33%) ]. The five patients with pneumonia were daratumumab naive [5 of 13 patients (38.46%) ], with a median of 8 (6-10) infusions. Among them, the chest computed tomography of three patients showed interstitial infiltrates, and treatment with methylprednisolone was effective. With a median follow-up of 12 months, the 1-year overall survival rate was 93.33%, and only one patient died (which was not related to daratumumab treatment) . Conclusions: Daratumumab was safe and effective as a maintenance agent for post-auto-HSCT patients with NDMM, and AEs were controllable. The most common nonhematologic AE was grade 3 pneumonia, and a less dose-intense maintenance regimen for the first 8 weeks could reduce the incidence of pneumonia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anlotinib plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) achieves good efficacy, but there is still room for improvement. This clinical study examined the effectiveness of anlotinib plus etoposide for maintenance therapy in ES-SCLC. METHODS The current single-arm, prospective phase II study was performed at Jiangsu Cancer Hospital (March 2019 to March 2022). After successful primary etoposide-based therapy, anlotinib was administered at 12 mg/day on days 1 to 14 of 21-day cycles until disease progression or consent withdrawal. All patients also received etoposide at 50 mg/day on days 1 to 14 of 21-day cycles for a maximum of six cycles. Progression-free survival (PFS) constituted the primary study endpoint. Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), objective remission rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety. In addition, adverse events (AEs) were assessed. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients were treated. Median PFS and OS were 8.02 (95%CI 5.36-10.67) and 11.04 (95%CI 10.37-11.68) months, respectively. Totally 9 and 18 participants showed a partial response and stable disease, respectively; ORR and DCR were 32.14% and 96.43%, respectively. The commonest all-grade AEs were fatigue (n = 11, 39.28%), hypertension (n = 11, 39.28%), loss of appetite (n = 9, 32.14%), oral mucositis (n = 7, 25.00%) and proteinuria (n = 6, 21.40%). Grade 3-4 AEs included fatigue (n = 4, 14.28%), hypertension (n = 2, 7.14%), hand and foot syndrome (n = 2, 7.14%), oral mucositis (n = 1, 3.57%), hemoptysis (n = 1, 3.57%), proteinuria (n = 1, 3.57%), gingival bleeding (n = 1, 3.57%), and serum creatinine elevation (n = 1, 3.57%). CONCLUSION Maintenance anlotinib plus etoposide achieves promising PFS and OS in clinical ES-SCLC. REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR1800019421.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy using the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) maintenance protocol is the standard in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Maintenance with monthly instillations is also widely used, but evidence comparing the two maintenance protocols is scarce. OBJECTIVE To compare monthly and SWOG instillation schedules in maintenance BCG therapy. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We retrospectively identified patients with NMIBC treated with maintenance BCG according to either the monthly or the SWOG instillation regimen in two tertiary care centers in Finland between 2009 and 2019. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS We compared discontinuation rates of the monthly and SWOG maintenance protocols due to toxicity, and recurrence and progression rates by protocols. Baseline characteristics were compared with the Wilcoxon rank sum test, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model were used to evaluate the discontinuation of BCG due to toxicity and oncological efficacy. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS We identified 723 patients, of whom 545 (75%) and 178 (25%) received maintenance according to the monthly and SWOG protocols, respectively. The median follow-up time was 66 (interquartile range: 45-99) mo. In the monthly and SWOG groups, 131 (24%) and 50 (28%) patients, respectively, discontinued BCG due to toxicity, with no difference in a univariate or multivariate analysis (hazard ratio 1.01, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.73-1.40, p = 0.940). The 5-yr recurrence-free survival rates in the monthly and SWOG groups were 65% (95% CI: 61-69%) and 71% (95% CI: 64-79%, p = 0.370), respectively. The 5-yr progression-free survival rates were 89% (95% CI: 86-92%) and 91% (95% CI: 86-96%, p = 0.240), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Monthly maintenance is a comparable alternative to the SWOG protocol. PATIENT SUMMARY In this study, we compared two schedules of intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment used in the treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. We found that there were no significant differences between the two instillation schedules in terms of tolerability or efficacy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current treatment for moderate-severe asthma with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)-based therapy can follow two strategies: a single inhaler maintenance and reliever therapy (MART) regimen, or regular dosing with ICS/long-acting β2-agonist used as maintenance therapy plus a separate short acting β2-agonist reliever inhaler. It would be clinically useful to understand the potential of patient traits to influence regular dosing or MART treatment outcomes. OBJECTIVES A systematic literature review (SLR) and meta-analysis was conducted to identify specific patient traits that may predict improved clinical outcomes with regular dosing or MART. RESULTS The SLR identified 28 studies in patients with moderate-severe asthma assessing regular dosing or MART treatments and reporting the traits and outcomes of interest. Network meta-regressions found no significant difference in the relative efficacy of regular dosing as compared with MART on any of the clinical outcomes (exacerbation rate, time to first exacerbation, FEV1, reliever use and adherence) for any of the patient traits (baseline lung function, baseline ACQ, age, BMI, and smoking history) evaluated. However, some trends towards traits influencing treatment efficacy were identified. Inconsistent reporting of traits and outcomes was observed between trials. CONCLUSIONS The analysed patient traits evaluated in this study were associated with similar efficacy for the analysed outcomes to either regular dosing or MART; however, trends from the data observed encourage future analyses for possible identification of additional traits, or a combination of traits, that may be of interest. More comparable reporting of clinically important traits and outcomes would improve future analyses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In RAS wild type (wt) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) maintenance therapy after induction with fluoropyrimidine (FP)-based cytotoxic therapy (CT) plus anti-EGFR agents is controversial. METHODS Phase II-III randomized trials were included. Maintenance strategies considered were: observation, anti-EGFR or FP monotherapy, FP + anti-EGFR, doublet CT + anti-EGFR. RESULTS Maintenance with FP + anti-EGFR (HR 0.56, 95% CrI 0.36-0.89) showed the greatest PFS benefit compared to observation, ranking first on SUCRA analysis (96.4%). Considering OS, doublet CT+ anti-EGFR, FP + anti-EGFR and anti-EGFR monotherapy yielded similar results. For PFS, FP + anti-EGFR confirmed to be valuable in BRAF wt patients and left sided tumors. In left sided tumors, the OS benefit of adding CT was limited. FP plus anti-EGFR showed a favourable safety profile compared to doublet CT + anti-EGFR. CONCLUSIONS FP + anti-EGFR can be considered a valuable maintenance option in RAS wt mCRC. EGFR monotherapy can be considered, especially in left-sided tumors.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cell based immunotherapy is an emerging strategy in hematologic malignancies because allogeneic NK cells can provide potent antitumor immunity without inducing graft-versus-host disease. Thus, we expanded cord blood-derived NK (CB-NK) cells ex vivo from random (MHC mismatched and KIR mismatched) donors, and investigate the feasibility and efficacy of repeated infusions CB-NK cells as maintenance therapy after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Thirty-one patients with acute myeloid leukemia and high-risk lymphoma received ASCT and the adoptive CB-NK cell multiple infusions for maintenance therapy. Patients received a median dose of 5.98 × 107/kg (range, 1.87-17.69 × 107/kg) CB-NK cells and 23 patients completed four infusions, 8 patients received three infusions. Only mild infusion reactions occurred in 15.5% of 116 infusions. Compared to a contemporaneous cohort of 90 patients who did not receive NK cell therapy, the adoptive transfer of CB-NK cells as maintenance treatment showed a tendency of difference in decreasing the relapse rate between CB-NK group and control group (9.7% vs 24.4%). The patients who receiving NK cell infusions had a better PFS and OS than controls (4 year PFS, 84.4 ± 8.3% vs 73.5 ± 5.4%; and 4 year OS, 100% vs 78.1 ± 5.4%) . These findings demonstrate safety and validity of maintenance therapy using CB-NK cells multiple infusions after ASCT, and it is worthy of further clinical trial verification.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current guidelines incorporate the option of a rapid onset bronchodilator (ROB) plus an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) for the relief of asthma symptoms, but there is doubt whether the combined therapy for relief could lead to suboptimal maintenance therapy since individuals might prefer it to the maintenance therapy. The objective of this study was to assess whether the type of rescue medication that the individual with asthma has available is associated with suboptimal maintenance therapy. METHODS This cross-sectional study included non-smokers with asthma, ≥12 years old. The individuals attended an appointment with a physician, responded questionnaires and performed a spirometry. Adjusted regression analysis evaluated whether the type of rescue medication was associated with suboptimal maintenance therapy. RESULTS We enrolled 953 individuals, of which 221 reported having no rescue medication, 171 carried any ROB + ICS for symptoms relief and 561 carried SABA alone to rescue. The frequency of suboptimal maintenance therapy was not different between individuals carrying the combination and those carrying SABA alone for symptoms relief, but individuals who reported having no rescue medication had less suboptimal maintenance therapy (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The frequency of suboptimal maintenance therapy for asthma was similar between individuals carrying any ROB + ICS for symptoms relief and those carrying SABA alone to rescue, whilst it was less frequent in the group that reported not having any reliever medication. Data from this study indicate that recent changes in asthma guidelines regarding the use of rescue medication have little risk of impairing maintenance therapy.

Abstract
This work provides a summary of guideline recommendations and an expert position on the use of maintenance avelumab therapy based on a review of current international clinical practice guidelines for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC). A PubMed literature search was conducted in March 2022 (updated in July 2023) to identify guidelines for locally advanced or metastatic UC. An expert panel (four oncologists and one urologist) reviewed the guidelines and clinical evidence, and discussed practical questions regarding the use of avelumab maintenance therapy in this clinical setting. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network, European Association of Urology and European Society for Medical Oncology guidelines recommend first-line cisplatin-containing chemotherapy for cisplatin-eligible patients, carboplatin-gemcitabine for cisplatin-ineligible patients who are fit for carboplatin, or immunotherapy with programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) inhibitors (e.g. atezolizumab) in platinum-ineligible patients. Maintenance avelumab is recommended in patients with response/stable disease following chemotherapy (regardless of PD-L1 status). In patients who relapse after/during chemotherapy, options include immunotherapy, erdafitinib [in those with fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) mutations], enfortumab vedotin or further chemotherapy. The expert panel provided the following practical guidance: (1) consider maintenance avelumab in all eligible patients; (2) continue avelumab until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity; (3) ideally, administer six cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy prior to maintenance avelumab; (4) perform radiological evaluation after four chemotherapy cycles and prior to maintenance avelumab; (5) carboplatin-gemcitabine followed by maintenance avelumab is preferred in cisplatin-ineligible patients (regardless of PD-L1 expression), but consider first-line immunotherapy in PD-L1-positive patients and platinum-ineligible patients (regardless of PD-L1 status); and (6) for patients who relapse on avelumab, second-line options include enfortumab vedotin, FGFR inhibitors (in those with FGFR mutations) or clinical trial inclusion. In conclusion, avelumab maintenance therapy is recommended following platinum-based chemotherapy in all eligible patients with locally advanced or metastatic UC, continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal maintenance therapy for rat sarcoma (RAS) and v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B (BRAF) metastatic colorectal cancers (mCRCs) remains unclear. It is critical to evaluate the reliability of cetuximab-capecitabine (the observation group) relative to capecitabine alone (control group). PATIENTS AND METHODS In this retrospective analysis, patients with RAS and BRAF mCRC admitted to Huizhou Municipal Central Hospital, between January 2016 and October 2020 were enrolled and treated with cetuximab plus 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) as an initial therapy. Patients whose disease was controlled after at least six cycles of treatment were administered a maintenance therapy until disease progression. We also analyzed the prognosis of patients according to clinicopathological features. Altogether, 39 RAS and BRAF mCRC patients were recruited from January 2016 to October 2020, with 18 cases in the treatment group and 21 cases in the control group. The difference in baseline clinicopathological features between the two treatments is not obvious. RESULTS The median progression-free survival after maintenance treatment in observation group (9.5 months [95% confidence interval (CI) = 6.4-12.6]), was significantly better than the control group (7.3 months [95% CI = 5.8-8.8]). During maintenance treatment, there were no deaths caused by treatment-related adverse events, and the overall incidence of rash acne was different between the observation and control groups (p < 0.05). Most adverse events were mild and easily controlled. Primary tumor site, baseline carcinoembryonic antigen levels, and microsatellite instability status were independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSION Maintenance therapy using cetuximab plus capecitabine improved survival in patients with mCRC and was well tolerated by patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Standard treatment of newly diagnosed, advanced ovarian carcinoma (OC) consists of cytoreductive surgery followed by platinum-based chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab. Maintenance therapy with PARP inhibitors and olaparib-bevacizumab has recently shown to significantly improve progression-free survival in the first-line setting. Some practical aspects of maintenance therapy, however, are still poorly defined. AIM OF THE STUDY To provide guidance to clinicians in the selection of maintenance therapy for newly diagnosed, advanced ovarian carcinoma. METHODS A board of six gynecologic oncologists with expertise in the treatment of OC in Italy convened to address issues related to the new options for maintenance treatment. Based on scientific evidences, the board produced practice-oriented statements. Consensus was reached via a modified Delphi study that involved a panel of 22 experts from across Italy. RESULTS Twenty-seven evidence- and consensus-based statements are presented, covering the following areas of interest: use of biomarkers (BRCA mutations and presence of homologous recombination deficiency); timing and outcomes of surgery; selection of patients eligible for bevacizumab; definition of response to treatment; toxicity and contraindications; evidence of synergy of bevacizumab plus PARP inhibitor. Two treatment algorithms are also included, for selecting maintenance therapy based on timing and outcomes of surgery, response to platinum-based chemotherapy and biomarker status. A score for the assessment of response to chemotherapy is proposed, but its validation is ongoing. CONCLUSIONS We provide here consensus statements and treatment algorithms to guide clinicians in the selection of appropriate and personalized maintenance therapy in the first-line setting of advanced OC management.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report updated long-term efficacy and safety from the double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 study (NCT02655016). METHODS Patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer with complete or partial response (CR or PR) to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy received niraparib or placebo once daily (2:1 ratio). Stratification factors were best response to first-line chemotherapy regimen (CR/PR), receipt of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (yes/no), and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status (deficient [HRd]/proficient [HRp] or not determined). Updated (ad hoc) progression-free survival (PFS) data (as of November 17, 2021) by investigator assessment (INV) are reported. RESULTS In 733 randomised patients (niraparib, 487; placebo, 246), median PFS follow-up was 3.5years. Median INV-PFS was 24.5 versus 11.2months (hazard ratio, 0.52; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.40-0.68) in the HRd population and 13.8 versus 8.2months (hazard ratio, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.56-0.79) in the overall population for niraparib and placebo, respectively. In the HRp population, median INV-PFS was 8.4 versus 5.4months (hazard ratio, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.49-0.87), respectively. Results were concordant with the primary analysis. Niraparib-treated patients were more likely to be free of progression or death at 4years than placebo-treated patients (HRd, 38% versus 17%; overall, 24% versus 14%). The most common grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events in niraparib patients were thrombocytopenia (39.7%), anaemia (31.6%), and neutropenia (21.3%). Myelodysplastic syndromes/acute myeloid leukaemia incidence rate (1.2%) was the same for niraparib- and placebo-treated patients. Overall survival remained immature. CONCLUSIONS Niraparib maintained clinically significant improvements in PFS with 3.5years of follow-up in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer at high risk of progression irrespective of HRD status. No new safety signals were identified.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Concomitant drug use is common among opioid-dependent patients in maintenance therapy. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a common comorbidity among opioid users, is associated with a higher risk of concomitant drug use. Earlier studies showed that methylphenidate (MPH) can reduce cocaine consumption among patients with ADHD. The use of MPH as an agonist-replacement or maintenance therapy in cocaine-dependent patients without ADHD is also common in Switzerland, despite a lack of supporting evidence. The aim of this study was to assess concomitant cocaine, amphetamine, MDMA, MPH, and heroin use among patients in opioid maintenance therapy either with or without comorbid ADHD. We expected stimulant consumption to be higher in patients with cocaine dependence and comorbid ADHD and that use of MPH would not lead to a reduction in cocaine consumption in patients without ADHD. We therefore evaluated correlations between use of MPH and cocaine consumption and between MPH consumption and cocaine craving within the two groups. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 94 opioid-dependent patients in maintenance therapy in an outpatient department of the Psychiatric Hospital of Zurich. The patients were divided into two groups based on comorbid ADHD; a group with ADHD (N = 27) and a group without ADHD (N = 67). Drug use was assessed using 3-month hair analysis. RESULTS We did not find significant differences in the number of patients using cocaine, amphetamine, MDMA, or heroin between groups with or without ADHD. With respect to cocaine use, 85.2 percent of patients in the ADHD group and 73.1 percent in the non-ADHD group were users. The non-ADHD group showed a significant positive correlation between the concentration of MPH and cocaine in hair samples (p < 0.05), and a positive correlation between cocaine craving and the concentration of MPH in hair samples (p = 0.065). These two trends were not evident in the ADHD group. CONCLUSION Among patients without ADHD, use of MPH correlates with higher cocaine consumption and craving. Conversely, no significant correlation was found between MPH and cocaine use in patients with ADHD. Our study adds to the evidence that MPH confers negative effects in cocaine users without ADHD and should thus have no place in the treatment of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a widely used treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD), and its effectiveness in preventing relapse/recurrence of MDD has been explored. Although few small sample controlled studies exist, the protocols of maintenance rTMS therapy were heterogeneous and evidence of its effectiveness is not sufficient. Thus, this study aims to evaluate whether maintenance rTMS is effective in maintaining the treatment response in patients with MDD with a large sample size and feasible study design. METHODS In this multicenter open-labelled parallel-group trial we plan to recruit 300 patients with MDD who have responded or remitted to acute rTMS therapy. Participants would be classified into two groups according to their preference; the maintenance rTMS and pharmacotherapy group, and the pharmacotherapy only group. The protocol of maintenance rTMS therapy is once a week for the first six months and once biweekly for the second six months. The primary outcome is the relapse/recurrence rates during 12 months following enrollment. Other measures of depressive symptoms and recurrence/relapse rates at different time points are the secondary outcomes. The primary analysis is the between-group comparison adjusted for background factors using a logistic regression model. We will perform the group comparison with inverse probability of treatment weighting as the sensitivity analysis to ensure the comparability of the two groups. DISCUSSION We hypothesize that maintenance rTMS therapy could be an effective and safe treatment for preventing depressive relapse/recurrence. Considering the limitation of potential bias owing to the study design, we plan to use statistical approaches and external data to avoid overestimation of the efficacy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the optimal timing of locoregional therapy in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence after radical resection and initially unresectable liver metastases but no other metastases and whether maintenance therapy should be performed after achieving no evidence of disease (NED). METHODS This study was jointly carried out in six medical institutions in China to collect the clinical data of patients with primary CRC from January 2015 to December 2021. Research participants were identified according to the inclusion criteria of this study for statistical analysis of the clinical characteristics and recurrence time. RESULTS 625 patients CRC with metachronous initially unresectable liver metastases but no other metastases were enrolled. Multivariate analysis showed that the number of metastases in the liver and the time from the start of first-line chemotherapy to locoregional therapy significantly affected the progression-free survival (PFS, P < 0.05) following the first-line treatment, and continued maintenance therapy reduced the risk of tumor progression in the patients (P < 0.05). Furthermore, stratified analysis showed that the median PFS of patients with 3-5 metastases in the liver was maximized when the time from the start of first-line chemotherapy to locoregional therapy was 3-4 months. Patients with > 6 metastases in the liver should extend the duration between the start of first-line chemotherapy and locoregional therapy to more than four months. Similarly, with the significant increase in the number of metastases in the liver, subsequent maintenance therapy significantly extended the PFS of the patients. CONCLUSIONS The overall therapeutic plan in patients with CRC recurrence after radical resection and initially unresectable liver metastases but no other metastases should consider the individual patients' situations, especially the number of metastases in the liver at initial recurrence.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We evaluated real-world outcomes in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) based on their cumulative risk profile and maintenance therapy (MT) status following first-line (1L) treatment. METHODS This retrospective observational study of a nationwide electronic health record-derived de-identified database included adult patients diagnosed with stage III/IV OC from January 1, 2011 to February 28, 2021, who received 1L therapy and had ≥ 12 weeks of follow-up after the index date (end of 1L therapy). Patients were grouped according to whether they received MT or active surveillance (AS) following 1L treatment and by the cumulative number of risk factors (RF) present (stage IV disease; no surgery/treated with neoadjuvant therapy and interval debulking surgery; had postoperative visible residual disease; and had BRCA wild-type disease/unknown BRCA status). Time to next treatment (TTNT) and overall survival (OS) were assessed with a cloning and inverse probability of censoring (IPC)-weighted Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Among 1920 patients, 22.2% received MT and 77.8% received AS. Median IPC-weighted TTNT and OS were 13.3 months (95% CI 11.7-15.8) and 39.1 months (95% CI 32.5-48.6) in the MT cohort, respectively, and 8.6 months (95% CI 8.0-9.5) and 38.4 months (95% CI 36.4-41.0) in the AS cohort, respectively. Almost all patients had ≥ 1 RF (MT 95.3%; AS 96.7%). Median IPC-weighted TTNT was shorter among patients with more RF in both cohorts (MT: 1 RF, 19.3 months, 95% CI 13.5-37.8; 2 RF, 17.2 months, 95% CI 12.8-20.2; 3 RF, 11.0 months, 95% CI 8.2-13.8; 4 RF, 7.0 months, 95% CI 6.2-8.8; AS: 1 RF, 17.7 months, 95% CI 13.5-22.3; 2 RF, 10.2 months, 95% CI 9.1-11.5; 3 RF, 6.5 months, 95% CI 5.8-7.4; 4 RF, 4.1 months, 95% CI 3.5-4.5). CONCLUSION Regardless of RF number, MT was associated with longer TTNT in real-world patients with AOC.

Abstract
PURPOSE For patients with severe renal impairment (CrCl ≤ 30 ml/min) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), olaparib intake is not recommended as the pharmacokinetics and safety of olaparib have not been evaluated in this patient group. Therefore, this valuable patient group is generally excluded from poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) therapy. Here we report the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, safety and tolerability of olaparib capsules 200 mg BID in a patient with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and ESRD requiring hemodialysis. METHODS Blood and dialysate samples of the patient were collected on a dialysis and non-dialysis day. Olaparib total plasma concentrations were determined through high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection. Actual scheduled sample times were used in the PK analysis to determine multiple dose PK parameters at steady state. RESULTS Maximum concentration was achieved 1.5 h after drug administration on non- dialysis and after 1 h on dialysis day. The steady-state trough concentration and the maximal plasma concentration were similar on dialysis and non- dialysis day. On non-dialysis day, the AUCss was 30% higher (24.0 µg.h/mL vs. 16.9 µg.h/ml) than on dialysis day. The plasma clearance CLss/F was lower on non-dialysis day. Olaparib was not detectable in the dialysate samples. CONCLUSION A total dose of olaparib 200 mg BID capsule formulation was well tolerated by our patient with ESRD and hemodialysis. Moreover, this maintenance therapy led to 16 months of progression free survival. Further trials on PARPi therapy in patients with hemodialysis are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antipsychotics are essential in the acute treatment of and maintenance therapy for schizophrenia, but medication adherence and long-term treatment continuity are needed to maximize their effectiveness. Each antipsychotic has various side effects, which may affect adherence. Some patients with schizophrenia are reluctant to take asenapine because of its unique oral-related side effects, such as the bitter taste caused by sublingual administration. Our previous basic research found that D-sorbitol lowered the bitterness parameters of the taste sensors. However, whether D-sorbitol has the same effect in patients remains unclear. Therefore, using a D-sorbitol solution, we aim to evaluate changes in the bitterness of asenapine among patients with schizophrenia. METHODS In this single-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial, we plan to recruit 20 adult patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder who take sublingual asenapine tablets. The participants will be divided into two groups (n = 10 each). Each group will be given a D-sorbitol or placebo solution on the first day for rinsing before taking the sublingual asenapine tablets. After a 1-day interval, the participants will rinse their mouths again with a different liquid. Questionnaires regarding changes in taste and the willingness to continue asenapine will be conducted before the start of the study and after each rinse. The primary and secondary end points will be a taste evaluation of bitterness, and the willingness to continue asenapine, respectively. Differences in questionnaire scores between the D-sorbitol and placebo solutions will be calculated and analyzed using a McNemar test. DISCUSSION This study aims to determine the efficacy of D-sorbitol in masking the bitter taste of asenapine. To our knowledge, it is the first intervention study using D-sorbitol for bitter taste of asenapine in patients with schizophrenia. Evidence of the efficacy of D-sorbitol could result in D-sorbitol pretreatment being an easy and inexpensive means of improving adherence to asenapine. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was registered in the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials jRCTs041210019, on May 14, 2021. Ethics approval was obtained from the Nagoya University Clinical Research Review Board.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal treatment strategy after first-line induction therapy in advanced HER2-positive oeso-gastric adenocarcinoma (OGA) remains challenging. METHODS Patients treated with trastuzumab (T) plus platinum salts and fluoropyrimidine (F) as first-line chemotherapy between 2010 and 2020 for HER2-positive advanced OGA at 17 academic care centers in France, Italy, and Austria were included. The primary objective was the comparison of F + T vs T alone as maintenance regimen in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) after a platinum-based chemotherapy induction + T. As secondary objective, PFS and OS between patients treated with reintroduction of initial chemotherapy or standard second-line chemotherapy at progression were assessed. RESULTS Among the 157 patients included, 86 (55%) received F + T and 71 (45%) T alone as a maintenance regimen after a median of 4 months of induction chemotherapy. Median PFS from start of maintenance therapy was 5.1 months in both groups (95% CI 4.2-7.7 for F + T and 95% CI 3.7-7.5 for T alone; p = 0.60) and median OS was 15.2 (95% CI 10.9-19.1) and 17.0 months (95% CI 15.5-21.6) for F + T and T alone, respectively (p = 0.40). Of 112/157 patients (71%) receiving systemic therapy after progression under maintenance, 26/112 (23%) were treated with a reintroduction of initial chemotherapy + T and 86/112 (77%) with a standard second-line regimen. Here, median OS was significantly longer with the reintroduction (13.8 (95% CI 12.1-19.9) vs 9.0 months (95% CI 7.1-11.9); p = 0.007) as confirmed by multivariate analysis (HR 0.49; 95% CI 0.28-0.85; p = 0.01). CONCLUSION No additional benefit of adding F to T monotherapy as a maintenance treatment could be observed. Reintroduction of initial therapy at first progression may be a feasible approach to preserve later treatment lines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lithium is considered the gold standard for the treatment of bipolar affective disorder for the prevention of recurrence of manic and depressive episodes and for augmentation treatment in unipolar severe depressive episodes. The indications for treatment with lithium do not differ for older or younger patients. Nevertheless, there are a number of aspects to be considered with respect to drug safety in the group of old patients. OBJECTIVE The aim was to give an overview of the current literature on lithium treatment in old age and from this to derive recommendations for action. MATERIAL AND METHODS A selective literature review on lithium treatment in old age was conducted to answer questions on drug safety, monitoring (particularly with respect to comorbidities) and potential alternatives to lithium. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Lithium is an effective and, if used correctly, safe drug also in old people; however, with respect to somatic comorbidities that increase with age, special caution is required when using lithium in order to prevent nephropathy and intoxication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the actual clinical application of poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) maintenance therapy in Chinese patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, and to explore prognostic factors associated with progression-free survival (PFS). METHODS We retrospectively assessed real-world clinical data from our hospital using the inclusion and exclusion criteria of representative randomized controlled trials, analyzed the prognosis, and performed univariate and multivariate analyses of prognostic factors. RESULTS Between 2019 and 2022, the proportion of platinum-sensitive recurrence ovarian cancer patients who received PARPi maintenance therapy increased to 29.6%, 53.3%, 43.8% and 62.2%, respectively, each year. A total of 48 patients were included in the prognostic analysis, of which 32 and 16 received olaparib and niraparib, respectively. Using the criteria of the Study19 and SOLO2 studies, the olaparib group in our patients had coincidence rates of 56.3% and 18.8%, respectively. Using the criteria of the NOVA and NORA studies, the niraparib group had coincidence rates of 31.3% and 37.5%, respectively. Median PFS was 26.1 months (95% CI 20.2-32.1). Response to primary therapy was an independent prognostic factor for PFS (relative risk, 3.248; 95% CI 1.081-9.757, P = 0.036). CONCLUSIONS PARPi maintenance therapy was also effective in real world applications. Complete response (CR) to primary therapy was an independent factor favorably affecting PFS. Therefore, primary treatment choices aimed at optimal cytoreduction during primary surgery and improving the CR rate should still be considered, which positively affects the long-term prognosis of patients in the new treatment mode.

Abstract
PURPOSE MODUL is an adaptable, signal-seeking trial of biomarker-driven maintenance therapy following first-line induction treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). We report findings from Cohorts 1 (BRAFmut), 3 (human epidermal growth factor 2 [HER2]+) and 4 (HER2‒/high microsatellite instability, HER2‒/microsatellite stable [MSS]/BRAFwt or HER2‒/MSS/BRAFmut/RASmut). METHODS Patients with unresectable, previously untreated mCRC without disease progression following standard induction treatment (5-fluorouracil/leucovorin [5-FU/LV] plus oxaliplatin plus bevacizumab) were randomly assigned to control (fluoropyrimidine plus bevacizumab) or cohort-specific experimental maintenance therapy (Cohort 1: vemurafenib plus cetuximab plus 5-FU/LV; Cohort 3: capecitabine plus trastuzumab plus pertuzumab; Cohort 4: cobimetinib plus atezolizumab). The primary efficacy end-point was progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS Cohorts 1, 3 and 4 did not reach target sample size because of early study closure. In Cohort 1 (n = 60), PFS did not differ between treatment arms (hazard ratio, 0.95; 95% confidence intervals 0.50-1.82; P = 0.872). However, Cohort 1 exploratory biomarker data showed preferential selection for mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway mutations (mainly KRAS, NRAS, MAP2K1 or BRAF) in the experimental arm but not the control arm. In Cohort 3 (n = 5), PFS ranged from 3.6 to 14.7 months versus 4.0 to 5.4 months in the experimental and control arms, respectively. In Cohort 4 (n = 99), PFS was shorter in the experimental arm (hazard ratio, 1.44; 95% confidence intervals 0.90-2.29; P = 0.128). CONCLUSIONS Vemurafenib plus cetuximab plus 5-FU/LV warrants further investigation as first-line maintenance treatment for BRAFmut mCRC. MAPK-pathway emergent genomic alterations may offer novel therapeutic opportunities in BRAFmut mCRC. Cobimetinib plus atezolizumab had an unfavourable benefit:risk ratio in HER2‒/MSS/BRAFwt mCRC. New strategies are required to increase the susceptibility of MSS mCRC to immunotherapy. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02291289.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, a clinical trial (NCT02603432) showed that avelumab maintenance treatment, post first-line chemotherapy, can significantly prolong the overall survival of patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC), however, the treatment was very expensive. This study aimed to determine the cost-effectiveness of avelumab maintenance therapy in advanced or metastatic UC from the US taxpayer perspective. METHODS Based on the data of the JAVELIN Bladder 100 clinical trial (NCT02603432), a Markov multi-state model was constructed to investigate the costs and clinical outcomes of avelumab maintenance after platinum-based chemotherapy versus best supportive care (BSC) for advanced or metastatic UC. Parameters of the model came from the 2020 Average Sales Price Drug Pricing Files and published literature. The main outputs were costs, life years (LYs), quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). Robustness was tested by deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses. The analysis was stratified to include both the overall population and a subset of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive patients. RESULTS Avelumab maintenance therapy was estimated to generate an additional 0.26 QALYs (1.46 vs. 1.20 QALYs) and costs $183,271 ($278,323 vs. $95,052) more compared to BSC alone in the overall population, yielding an ICER of $699,065/QALY. For the PD-L1-positive population, avelumab produced a 0.42 increase in QALYs (1.74 vs. 1.32 QALYs) and raised costs to $223,238 ($320,355 vs. $97,117), resulting in an ICER of $521,850/QALY for this population. Both ICERs were above the willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of $200,000/QALY. Sensitivity analyses manifested that the model was robust. CONCLUSION From the perspective of the US taxpayer, avelumab maintenance therapy is considered cost-ineffective for patients with advanced or metastatic UC at a WTP threshold of $200,000/QALY in the overall population as well as in PD-L1-positive population.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) has improved survival for patients with hematological malignancy, especially for those highly at risk of relapse. However, disease relapse after allo-HSCT remains the most common cause of treatment failure and death, even with conventional chemotherapy and donor lymphocyte infusion. Disease relapse in allo-HSCT can be reduced via pre-emptive treatment based on measurable residual disease and maintenance therapy for patients at high risk of relapse as promising treatment strategies. Recently, the development of novel agents and cellular therapies with high antitumor activity and less toxicity, which can be used in the post-transplant setting, has increased their clinical applications in the therapeutic approach. This review examines the current landscape and future strategies for maintenance therapy, mainly for AML and ALL after allo-HSCT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire diversity is getting increasing attention as a predictive biomarker in cancer patients. However, the characteristics of the TCR together with its predictive significance for high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) patients receiving poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) maintenance therapy remain unknown. METHODS Twenty-seven patients with HGSOC were analyzed including 22 patients receiving PARPi maintenance therapy and 5 untreated patients as control. Peripheral blood samples were collected for TCR sequencing at baseline as well as one month and three months after the exposure to PARPi. To determine whether TCR diversity was related to PARPi efficacy, we compared the TCR repertoire between patients who had received PARPi and those who had not. RESULTS For patients receiving PARPi treatment or not, we evaluated changes in clone abundance during PARPi maintenance and the similarity of the TCR repertoire before and after the treatment. The results revealed that patients receiving PARPi had TCR repertoires that were more stable than those of untreated cases. We next correlated TCR diversity with the efficacy of PARPi in the treatment group. The rising trend of TCR diversity after three months with PARPi treatment was associated with a longer PFS (21.7 vs 7.4 months, hazard ratio = 0.19, p < 0.001) and a better response to PARPi (91.7% vs 25.0%, p = 0.004). Furthermore, we discovered that the primary characteristic with predictive value for the effectiveness of PARPi is the considerable reduction of the high-frequency T cell clones. CONCLUSION We suggested that the circulating TCR diversity could be a potential predictive biomarker for PARPi maintenance therapy in HGSOC.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the impact of BRCA1/2 mutational status on survival outcomes in patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed (PSR) epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively identified patients who received secondary treatment for PSR EOC at our institution between January 2007 and June 2021 and who underwent BRCA1/2 gene testing by either germline or somatic methods. The association between BRCA1/2 mutational status and survival outcomes was evaluated. Both secondary cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and maintenance therapy were stratified considering real-world clinical practice. RESULTS Of 262 patients, 91 (34.7%) and 171 (65.3%) were assigned to BRCA1/2 mutation and wild-type groups, respectively. The two groups had similar proportions of patients undergoing secondary CRS (26.4% vs. 32.7%, p=0.286) and maintenance therapy (54.9% vs. 46.2%, p=0.178). Overall, no differences in progression-free survival (PFS; median, 19.7 vs. 15.1 months, p=0.120) and overall survival (OS; p=0.400) were observed between the two groups. In multivariate analyses, BRCA1/2 mutational status was not associated with PFS (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.816; 95% confidence interval, 0.596 to 1.119; p=0.207). BRCA1/2 mutational status did not affect PFS among patients who underwent secondary CRS (n=80) and among those who did not (n=182) (p=0.074 and p=0.222, respectively). PFS did not differ in the BRCA1/2 mutational status among the patients who received bevacizumab maintenance (n=90, p=0.992). CONCLUSION In this real-world evidence study, BRCA1/2 mutational status itself was not associated with PFS and OS in PSR EOC, which was consistent with whether secondary CRS or not and with bevacizumab maintenance.

Abstract
The treatment of ovarian cancer has remained a clinical challenge despite high rates of initial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients are generally diagnosed at an advanced stage with significant disease burden, which portends to worse survival outcomes. Deficiencies in the homologous recombination (HRD) DNA damage repair (DDR) pathway and mutations in the BRCA1/2 genes have been found in ovarian carcinomas. Moreover, patients with these specific molecular aberrations have demonstrated sensitivity and thus improved response to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) treatment. The results of various clinical trials exploring the use of PARPi in different populations of ovarian cancer patients have shown impressive survival and response outcomes. With expanding indications, the use of PARPi has thus changed the landscape of ovarian cancer treatment. In this chapter, we will describe the different settings of PARPi treatment-frontline maintenance therapy, maintenance therapy for patients with recurrent platinum-sensitive disease, and treatment in the recurrent setting-and discuss treatment considerations and management of toxicities, as well as offer thoughts on future directions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer, depth of response (DpR) has gained importance as a novel end-point in clinical trials. We investigated the overall DpR, as well as the prognostic and predictive impact of DpR to induction therapy (six cycles of 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin [FU/FA], oxaliplatin [FOLFOX] and panitumumab [Pmab]) on consecutive maintenance therapy (FU/FA plus Pmab or FU/FA alone) in patients treated within the PanaMa trial. METHODS Central radiological assessment was performed according to RECIST 1.1. DpR was defined as percentage change in tumour diameter within defined time intervals (induction therapy, maintenance therapy, total course of therapy). For prognostic and predictive analyses, median DpR (</≥) served as threshold. RESULTS Out of 248 patients receiving maintenance therapy, 211 were evaluable for DpR analyses (FU/FA + Pmab, n = 106; FU/FA alone, n = 105). The overall DpR in all patients was 56.5%. DpR of induction therapy (42.5%) accounted for the largest proportion (75.2%) of the overall DpR. While greater DpR to induction therapy was significantly associated with prolonged PFS (HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.52-0.93, p = 0.013) and OS (HR 0.38, 95% CI 0.28-0.51, p < 0.001), there was no significant correlation of DpR and maintenance treatment arm. CONCLUSIONS In the PanaMa trial, the overall DpR was similar to DpR achieved by other epidermal growth factor receptor-based regimens. DpR to induction therapy accounted for three quarters of the total tumour shrinkage potentially suggesting that FOLFOX plus Pmab can be de-escalated following induction without substantially compromising efficacy. DpR to induction therapy was prognostic but not predictive for efficacy of consecutive maintenance therapy. CLINICAL TRIAL INFORMATION NCT01991873.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive disease predominantly affecting the elderly population. Although, up to 65% of patients with AML achieve a complete remission with standard induction chemotherapy, the majority of patients will relapse and succumb to the disease. Although maintenance therapy is a component of standard management for various hematological malignancies, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) or multiple myeloma, past studies investigating the role of maintenance therapy in AML were unable to demonstrate an advantage in overall survival, and therefore, it has not been an established practice in the treatment of AML. For patients, who are not candidates for stem cell transplant, effective AML maintenance therapies are needed in order to reduce the risk of relapse. Over the past decades, many investigators have examined the role of various maintenance strategies in AML; with the intention to prolong remission and overall survival. This review will provide an overview of prior and ongoing approaches and strategies to maintenance therapy for AML.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Of the only 20% of patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (rPDA), cancer recurs in 80% of cases. Epigenetic dysregulation is an early hallmark of cancer cells acquiring metastatic potential, and epigenetic modulators may reactivate tumor suppressor genes, delay recurrence, and sensitize PDA to future chemotherapy. METHODS This was a randomized phase II study (NCT01845805) of CC-486 (oral DNA methyltransferase inhibitor azacitidine) vs. observation (OBS) in rPDA patients harboring high-risk features (stage pN1-2, R1 margins, or elevated CA 19-9 level) with no evidence of disease following standard adjuvant therapy. Patients were randomized to oral CC-486 treatment (300 mg daily on days 1-21 on a 28-day cycle) or OBS for up to 12 cycles or until disease relapse/unacceptable toxicities. Following recurrence, records of next-line therapies, imaging, and survival were obtained. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS)-time from randomization to recurrence (imaging/biopsy confirmed or death). Secondary endpoints included OS and PFS and ORR and metastatic PFS with subsequent next-line systemic therapy in metastatic setting. RESULTS Forty-nine patients (24 in CC-486 arm, 25 in OBS arm) were randomized: median age 66 (range 36-81), 53% male, 73% node positive, 49% elevated CA 19-9, 20% R1 resection, 63% and 100% received perioperative concurrent chemoradiation and chemotherapy, respectively. Median time from surgery to randomization was 9.6 mo (range 2.9-36.8). For the CC-486 arm, median treatment duration was 5.6 mo (range 1.3 to 12.8) with 14 treatment-related grade 3 or 4 AEs among 5 patients (22%) resulting in dose-reduction. Four patients (17%) discontinued therapy due to AEs. With median follow-up of 20.3mo (IQR 12.8, 41.4), 38 (79%) of evaluable patients recurred (34 imaging-confirmed, 4 clinically). Median PFS in imagining-confirmed cases was 9.2 and 8.9mo (HR 0.94, 95% CI 0.46-1.87, p = 0.85) for CC-486 and OBS patients, respectively. Median OS (2-yr OS%) was 33.8 (50%) and 26.4 mo (61%) in CC-486 and OBS patients, respectively. (HR 0.98, 95% CI 0.46-2.05, p = 0.96). ORR with subsequent chemotherapy in the metastatic setting was minimal in both arms. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with CC-486 following adjuvant therapy did not prolong time-to-relapse in patients with high-risk rPDA or improve disease response on 1st-line metastatic therapy.

Abstract
Maintenance therapy is the last phase of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children and adolescents. Although maintenance therapy is associated with toxicities and specific management issues, it is an essential phase of treatment that reduces the risk of relapse. The objective of this work is to propose a guide for the initiation, administration, and monitoring of maintenance therapy, and for the management of food, schooling, leisure, community life, risk of infection and links with family medicine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different therapeutic options are available for the treatment of advanced or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Platinum-based multi-agent chemotherapy regimens, such as FOLFIRINOX, are important elements in the multidisciplinary management of PDAC. SUMMARY At least one third of patients with metastatic PDAC are eligible for treatment with FOLFIRINOX. Eligibility criteria include good performance status and the absence of relevant comorbidities. However, chemotherapies can potentially be associated with serious adverse events, such as diarrhea or polyneuropathies. Here, we review relevant data from first-line, second-line, and maintenance therapy trials as well as real-world data. In addition, we address the management of possible adverse events. KEY MESSAGES (1) Selection of a suitable treatment regime depends on patient performance status, comorbidities, and anticipated toxicity. (2) FOLFIRINOX is an appropriate treatment for patients up to 75 years of age with an ECOG PS of 0 or 1, without relevant comorbidities, normal or nearly normal bilirubin levels, and no significantly reduced DPD activity. (3) In particular, patients with germline BRCA1/2 (gBRCA1/2) or PALB2 mutations may benefit from first-line platinum-containing therapy. (4) Early and comprehensive testing of the patient's mutational status could support the first-line treatment decision-making.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the safety and role of tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil (S1) maintenance therapy (MT) in metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients after response to first-line chemotherapy and to assess outcome-associated biomarkers. METHODS This was a multicentre, open-label, randomized controlled study involving metastatic NPC patients recruited (from May 2015 to May 2019) at five hospitals in China. The participants were randomized to S1-MT (receiving S1 MT until disease progression or intolerance) or non-MT (followed up until disease progression) groups. The primary endpoint was the progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoints were the overall survival (OS), the correlation between EBV-DNA, serum amyloid A (SAA) status, and outcomes after the first-line chemotherapy, and safety. RESULTS The median follow-up was 24.3 months; 88 and 95 participants were evaluable in the S1-MT and non-MT groups, respectively. Compared with non-MT, S1-MT prolonged PFS (16.9 vs. 9.3 months, P < 0.001) and OS (33.6 vs. 20.6 months, P < 0.001). Regardless of their EBV-DNA status after first-line chemotherapy, participants were able to benefit from S1 MT, but EBV-DNA-positive participants benefited more significantly (PFS: HR = 0.600, 95% CI = 0.373-0.965, P = 0.035; OS: HR = 0.393, 95% CI = 0.227-0.681, P = 0.001). MT only improved PFS and OS in patients with an SAA decline after first-line chemotherapy (PFS: HR = 0.570, 95% CI = 0.350-0.919, P = 0.021; OS: HR = 0.404, 95% CI = 0.230-0.709, P = 0.002). The median S1 treatment was 23 cycles. Grade 1-2 skin pigmentation, oral mucositis, and hand and foot syndrome were the main adverse reactions. CONCLUSION For metastatic NPC patients with first-line chemotherapy response, S1 MT can improve PFS and OS, with good tolerability. EBV-DNA and SAA can better help us identify patients who can benefit from MT after standard treatment. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study protocol was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR-IOR-16007939).

Abstract
Studies using third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) as maintenance therapy after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ALL) harboring the T315I mutation remain scarce. We conducted a cohort study to evaluate the safety and outcomes of ponatinib maintenance therapy after HCT in Ph+ALL patients with T315I mutation. BCR-ABL kinase domain mutations were assessed using direct sequencing. Twenty-six Ph+ALL patients with T315I mutation who received allogeneic HCT were enrolled. After HCT, ponatinib was administered as a prophylactic regimen (n = 12) or a preemptive therapy (n = 7). Seven patients did not receive maintenance therapy. Adverse events (AEs) occurred in 69.4 % of patients with ponatinib maintenance, but most presented with mild toxicities. Serious non-hematological AEs were not observed. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and cumulative incidence of relapse in patients receiving prophylactic ponatinib were 81.5 %, 91.7 %, and 18.5 %, respectively, whereas they were 39.8 %, 46.0 %, and 48.4 % in the total cohort, respectively. The measurable BCR-ABL transcripts in the first three months after HCT was associated with poor DFS and OS, even with ponatinib therapy. We concluded that maintenance therapy with ponatinib is safe after HCT. Patients with T315I mutation who received prophylactic regimen showed promising results with an acceptable relapse rate and encouraging survival. However, patients with measurable BCR-ABL transcripts early post-transplant had poor outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cetuximab (Cmab) plays an important role in the treatment for recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer (R/M HNC). To date, however, no safety data on biweekly administration of cetuximab at a dose of 500 mg/m2 (biweekly Cmab) for Japanese HNC patients have been available. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of five R/M HNC patients who received biweekly Cmab in our institute between January 2016 and September 2021 and compared the safety profile between two phases of weekly 250 mg/m2 and biweekly 500 mg/m2 Cmab in the identical patients. RESULTS All patients initially received Cmab in combination with chemotherapy. Chemotherapy consisted of paclitaxel plus carboplatin in two patients, cisplatin + 5-FU in one patient, and paclitaxel in two patients. Three patients switched treatment schedule from weekly Cmab to biweekly Cmab, while two patients received biweekly Cmab after completion of chemotherapy. The main reason for switching to biweekly Cmab was an unacceptably long commuting time to the hospital. The median duration of Cmab was 217 days (49-321) during weekly Cmab with or without chemotherapy and 42 days (28-175) during biweekly Cmab. Median dose of biweekly Cmab was 4 (3-12). During biweekly Cmab, worsened (Grade ≥ 2) toxicities were observed in two patients: one with grade 2 dry skin and the second with grade 2 skin infection. None developed grade ≥ 3 adverse events or discontinued treatment due to Cmab-related adverse events. CONCLUSION Biweekly Cmab was well tolerated and did not demonstrate severe toxicities related to Cmab for R/M HNC.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynaecological cancer among women worldwide, with the 5-year survival rate ranging between 30 and 40%. Due to the asymptomatic nature of the condition, it is more likely to be diagnosed at an advanced stage, requiring an aggressive therapeutic approach. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) along with systemic chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin has been the mainstay of the treatment in the frontline management of EOC. In recent years, neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, followed by interval CRS has become an important strategy for the management of advanced EOC. Due to the high rate of recurrence, the oncology community has begun to shift its focus to molecular-targeted agents and maintenance therapy in the frontline settings. The rationale for maintenance therapy is to delay the progression or relapse of the disease, as long as possible after first-line treatment, irrespective of the amount of residual disease. Tumours with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) including BReast CAncer gene (BRCA) mutations are found to be sensitive to polyadenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors and understanding of HRD status has become important in the frontline setting. PARP inhibitors are reported to provide a significant improvement in progression-free survival and have an acceptable safety profile. PARP inhibitors have also been found to act regardless of BRCA status. Recently, PARP inhibitors as maintenance therapy in the frontline settings showed encouraging results in EOC; however, the results from further trials and survival data from ongoing trials are awaited for understanding the role of this pathway in treatment of EOC. This review discusses an overview of maintenance strategies in newly diagnosed EOC along with considerations for maintenance therapy in EOC with a focus on PARP inhibitors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between surgical timing and postoperative residual disease status on the efficacy of niraparib first-line maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer at high risk of recurrence. METHODS Post hoc analysis of the phase 3 PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 (NCT02655016) study of niraparib in patients with newly diagnosed primary advanced ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer with a complete/partial response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed by surgical status (primary debulking surgery [PDS] vs neoadjuvant chemotherapy/interval debulking surgery [NACT/IDS]) and postoperative residual disease status (no visible residual disease [NVRD] vs visible residual disease [VRD]) in the intent-to-treat population. RESULTS In PRIMA (N = 733), 236 (32.2%) patients underwent PDS, and 481 (65.6%) received NACT/IDS before enrollment. Median PFS (niraparib vs placebo) and hazard ratios (95% CI) for progression were similar in PDS (13.7 vs 8.2 months; HR, 0.67 [0.47-0.96]) and NACT/IDS (14.2 vs 8.2 months; HR, 0.57 [0.44-0.73]) subgroups. In patients who received NACT/IDS and had NVRD (n = 304), the hazard ratio (95% CI) for progression was 0.65 (0.46-0.91). In patients with VRD following PDS (n = 183) or NACT/IDS (n = 149), the hazard ratios (95% CI) for progression were 0.58 (0.39-0.86) and 0.41 (0.27-0.62), respectively. PFS was not evaluable for patients with PDS and NVRD because of sample size (n = 37). CONCLUSIONS In this post hoc analysis, niraparib efficacy was similar across PDS and NACT/IDS subgroups. Patients who had NACT/IDS and VRD had the highest reduction in the risk of progression with niraparib maintenance.
