Access to urologists for participation in research: An analysis of NCI's Community Oncology Research Program landscape survey. Contemp Clin Trials Commun 2022; 29:100981. [PMID: 36033360 PMCID: PMC9403500 DOI: 10.1016/j.conctc.2022.100981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2022] [Revised: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Urological cancer clinical trials face accrual challenges, which may stem from structural barriers within cancer programs. We sought to describe the extent to which urology cancer care providers are available within community cancer research programs and explore the role of oncology practice group ownership in their access to urology practices to participate in research. Materials and methods We conducted secondary analysis of organizational survey data collected in 2017 among National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program practice groups. We used logistic regression to assess the association of self-reported access to urologists to participate in research and oncology practice group ownership type: independent, payor-provider, health-system, or public ownership. Results Of the 209 community oncology practice groups in the analysis sample, 133 (63.6%) had access to urologists for research participation. Ownership was not statistically significantly associated with access to urology practices after controlling for other covariates (p = 0.4). Instead, having a hospital outpatient clinic (p = 0.008) and identifying as a safety-net hospital (p = 0.035) were both positively significantly associated with access to urologists to participate in research. Conclusions Two-thirds of community cancer research groups have access to urology. Oncology ownership status was not associated with access to urologists for research. Research groups may need support to increase their capacity to engage non-oncology cancer care providers in research.

Abstract
428 Background: Trimodality therapy (TMT) with maximal TURBT followed by chemoradiation(CRT) is a standard of care for select patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). This trial evaluates the activity of atezolizumab (atezo) in MIBC in combination with TMT. This trial was designed with pre-specified safety analyses of the first 80 patients (40 in each arm). At the time of SWOG fall 2020 DSMC report deadline we had enrolled 84 patients but data on only 73 patients were available. The same data are being submitted to ASCO GU meeting. Methods: This trial is testing atezo every 3 weeks for 6 months given concurrently and adjuvantly with CRT vs. CRT alone in 475 patients with MIBC T2-T4aN0M0 disease. Patients are stratified based on PS; T2 vs T3 or T4; choice of chemotherapy; and radiation field (bladder only vs small pelvis). Patients undergo biopsy 3 months after finishing CRT to assess treatment response. Patients are followed for 5 years for recurrence or survival. This trial was not preceded by a phase I study but was designed with a safety run in of 80 patients. Study team agreed on the study design based on available data from other tumor types and initial experience from investigators running smaller similar trials. It was pre-specified that if we observe more than 25% patients having grade 3-5 colitis or cystitis in the atezo arm or any other toxicity which is deemed clinically significant and related to atezo, the trial investigators and DSMC would consider stopping further enrollment. Results: 36 patients were enrolled on the TMT alone arm and 37 patients on the TMT + atezo arm. No grade 3 or higher colitis was reported in the atezo arm. Only one patient had treatment related grade 3 radiation cystitis which was diagnosed after finishing atezo treatment. No steroids were given. Overall 23 grade 3 or higher toxicity events were reported in the atezo arm vs 11 in non- atezo arm. Most common toxicity was hematological which was considered non-immune related. None of the grade 3 or higher toxicities were considered to be immune related by the treating investigator. Conclusions: There is no evidence of increased immune related grade 3-5 AEs.DSMC has recommended to continue enrollment. Adverse Events with No Entries for Grades 3 to 5 Have Been Suppressed Clinical trial information: NCT03775265 . [Table: see text]

Development, acceptability, appropriateness and appeal of a cancer clinical trials implementation intervention for rural- and minority-serving urology practices. Trials 2019; 20:578. [PMID: 31590694 PMCID: PMC6781342 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-019-3658-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2019] [Accepted: 08/13/2019] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Few community urologists offer cancer patients the opportunity to participate in cancer clinical trials, despite national guidelines that recommend it, depriving an estimated 260,000 urological cancer patients of guideline-concordant care each year. Existing strategies to increase urologists’ offer of clinical trials are designed for resource-rich environments and are not feasible for many community urologists. We sought to design an implementation intervention for dissemination in under-resourced community urology practices and to compare its acceptability, appropriateness and adoption appeal among trial-naïve and trial-experienced urologists. Methods We used a design-for-dissemination approach, informed by the Theoretical Domains Framework and Behavior Change Wheel, to match determinants of the clinical trial offer to theoretically informed implementation strategies. We described the implementation intervention in evaluation workshops offered at urology professional society meetings. We surveyed participants to assess the implementation intervention’s acceptability and appropriateness using validated instruments. We also measured adoption appeal, intention to adopt and previous trial offer. Results Our design process resulted in a multi-modal implementation intervention, comprised of multiple implementation strategies designed to address six domains from the Theoretical Domains Framework. Evaluation workshops delivered at four meetings, convened five separate professional societies. Sixty-one percent of those offered an opportunity to participate in the implementation intervention indicated intention to adopt. Average implementation intervention acceptability and appropriateness ratings were 4.4 and 4.4 (out of 5), respectively. Acceptability scores were statistically significantly higher among those offering trials compared to those not (p = 0.03). Appropriateness scores did not differ between those offering trials and those not (p = 0.24). After urologists ranked their top three innovation attributes, 43% of urologists included practice reputation in their top three reasons for offering clinical trials; 30% listed practice differentiation among their top three reasons. No statistically significant differences were found between those who offered trials and those who did not among any of the innovation attributes. Conclusions LEARN|INFORM|RECRUIT is a promising implementation intervention to address low accrual to clinical trials, poised for implementation and effectiveness testing. The implementation intervention is appealing to its target audience and may have equal uptake among trial-naïve and trial-experienced practices.

Science in the Heartland: Exploring determinants of offering cancer clinical trials in rural-serving community urology practices. Urol Oncol 2019; 37:529.e9-529.e18. [PMID: 30935846 PMCID: PMC6661185 DOI: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2019.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2018] [Revised: 01/24/2019] [Accepted: 03/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Engaging community urologists in referring patients to clinical trials could increase the reach of cancer trials and, ultimately, alleviate cancer disparities. We sought to identify determinants of referring patients to clinical trials among urology practices serving rural communities. METHODS We conducted semistructured qualitative interviews based on the Theoretical Domains Framework at nonmetropolitan urology practices located in communities offering urological cancer trials. Participants were asked to consider barriers and strategies that might support engaging their patients in discussions about urological cancer clinical trials and referring them appropriately. Recorded interviews were transcribed and coded using template analysis. RESULTS Most participants were not aware of available trials and had no experience with trial referral. Overall, participants held positive attitudes toward clinical trials and recognized their potential roles in accrual, but limited local resources reduced opportunities for offering trials. Most participants expressed a need for increased human, financial, and other resources to support this role. Many participants requested information and training to increase their knowledge of clinical trials and confidence in offering them to patients. Participants highlighted the need to build efficient pathways to identify available trials, match eligible patients, and facilitate communication and collaboration with cancer centers for patient follow-up and continuity of care. CONCLUSIONS With adequate logistical and informational support, community urology practices could play an important role in clinical trial accrual, advancing cancer research and increasing treatment options for rural cancer patients. Future studies should explore the effectiveness of strategies to optimize urology practices' role in clinical trial accrual.

Abstract
Cancer patients have poor prognoses when lymph node (LN) involvement is present in both high-grade urothelial cell carcinoma (HG-UCC) of the bladder and colorectal cancer (CRC). More than 50% of patients with muscle-invasive UCC, despite curative therapy for clinically-localized disease, will develop metastases and die within 5 years, and metastatic CRC is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US. Xenograft models that consistently mimic UCC and CRC metastasis seen in patients are needed. This study aims to generate patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) models of UCC and CRC for primary tumor growth and spontaneous metastases under the influence of LN stromal cells mimicking the progression of human metastatic diseases for drug screening. Fresh UCC and CRC tumors were obtained from consented patients undergoing resection for HG-UCC and colorectal adenocarcinoma, respectively. Co-inoculated with LN stromal cell (LNSC) analog HK cells, luciferase-tagged UCC cells were intra-vesically (IB) instilled into female non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD/SCID) mice, and CRC cells were intra-rectally (IR) injected into male NOD/SCID mice. Tumor growth and metastasis were monitored weekly using bioluminescence imaging (BLI). Upon sacrifice, primary tumors and mouse organs were harvested, weighed, and formalin-fixed for Hematoxylin and Eosin and immunohistochemistry staining. In our unique PDOX models, xenograft tumors resemble patient pre-implantation tumors. In the presence of HK cells, both models have high tumor implantation rates measured by BLI and tumor weights, 83.3% for UCC and 96.9% for CRC, and high distant organ metastasis rates (33.3% detected liver or lung metastasis for UCC and 53.1% for CRC). In addition, both models have zero mortality from the procedure. We have established unique, reproducible PDOX models for human HG-UCC and CRC, which allow for tumor formation, growth, and metastasis studies. With these models, testing of novel therapeutic drugs can be performed efficiently and in a clinically-mimetic manner.

A patient-derived orthotopic xenograft model enabling human high-grade urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder tumor implantation, growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Oncotarget 2018; 9:32718-32729.

Abstract
High-grade urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder has a poor prognosis when lymph nodes are involved. Despite curative therapy for clinically-localized disease, over half of the muscle-invasive urothelial cell carcinoma patients will develop metastases and die within 5 years. There are currently no described xenograft models that consistently mimic urothelial cell carcinoma metastasis. To develop a patient-derived orthotopic xenograft model to mimic clinical urothelial cell carcinoma progression to metastatic disease, the urothelial cell carcinoma cell line UM-UC-3 and two urothelial cell carcinoma patient specimens were doubly tagged with Luciferase/RFP and were intra-vesically (IB) instilled into NOD/SCID mice with or without lymph node stromal cells (HK cells). Mice were monitored weekly with bioluminescence imaging to assess tumor growth and metastasis. Primary tumors and organs were harvested for bioluminescence imaging, weight, and formalin-fixed for hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemistry staining. In this patient-derived orthotopic xenograft model, xenograft tumors showed better implantation rates than currently reported using other models. Xenograft tumors histologically resembled pre-implanted primary specimens from patients, presenting muscle-invasive growth patterns. In the presence of HK cells, tumor formation, tumor angiogenesis, and distant organ metastasis were significantly enhanced in both UM-UC-3 cells and patient-derived specimens. Thus, we established a unique, reproducible patient-derived orthotopic xenograft model using human high-grade urothelial cell carcinoma cells and lymph node stromal cells. It allows for investigating the mechanism involved in tumor formation and metastasis, and therefore it is useful for future testing the optimal sequence of conventional drugs or the efficacy of novel therapeutic drugs.

Abstract
Retrospective observational studies support the utility of robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown that RARC with extracorporeal urinary diversion may lead to decreased estimated blood loss, decreased rate of transfusion, similar oncologic outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and variable increased operative times. Although RCTs comparing RARC with open radical cystectomy are currently ongoing, it may be several years before the utility of RARC is known. The discussion on the role of cystectomy, indications, outcomes, care pathways, access to high-volume care centers, and efforts to decrease complications may prove as important as the technique itself.

Abstract
285 Background: Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone responsible for folding many of the proteins directly associated with cancer progression and consequently, inhibition of the Hsp90 protein folding machinery results in a combinatorial attack on numerous oncogenic pathways. Hsp90 family consist of four isoforms; Hsp90α, Hsp90β, Grp94 and Trap-1. The development of Hsp90 isoform-selective inhibitors represent an alternative approach towards the treatment of cancer that may limit some of the detriments. We demonstrate novel Hsp90 inhibitors, on prostate and bladder cancer cells, which shows both potent antiproliferative effects and specific selectivity for Hsp90β. Methods: PC3MM2, LNCap-LN3, C4-2b, LAPC4 (prostate cancer) and T24, UC3 (bladder cancer) cancer cells were utilized. Cell Titer-Glo luminescent anti-proliferative assay was used to determine the IC50 numbers after 72h treatment. Trypan Blue Cytotoxicity assay was performed for 24h treatment with increasing concentrations of KUNB inhibitors. Effects of KUNB inhibitors on Hsp90’s client protein degradation were investigated by Western Blot. Results: KUNB31 manifested an IC50 of 3.00 µM against UC3 bladder cancer cells, UC3 cells were then evaluated via western blot analyses of known Hsp90α- and Hsp90β-dependent client proteins following treatment with KUNB31 for 24 hours. The data showed that, KUNB31 would not induce the heat shock response like 17AAG, and did cause Hsp90β related protein degradation (CXCR4). Moreover, Hsp27, PKM2, Her2, Hsf-1and Akt all showed degradation to different extent. KUNB105 exhibited potent anti-proliferative in both prostate and bladder cancer cells. IC50 number was determined as 1.24 µM for PC3MM2, 1.18 µM for LNCap-LN3, 1.03 µM for C4-2b, 2.56 µM for LAPC4, 0.20 µM for T24, and 0.30 µM for UC3 cancer cells. Conclusions: KUNB novel Hsp90β selective inhibitors, exhibit potent anti-proliferative and cytotoxic activity along with client protein degradation, without induction of HSR in prostate and bladder cancer cell lines. KUNB compound’s selective inhibition on Hsp90β isomers supports the development of Hsp90-selective inhibitors as a method to overcome the detriments associated with pan-inhibition in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Background: The "July effect" is the potential effect that new and recently promoted residents have on patient care during the first months of the academic year. Literature suggests that the July effect may worsen patient outcomes and lead to systemic inefficiencies. Objective: We evaluate the July effect on mortality, morbidity, and efficiency outcomes in patients undergoing radical cystectomy. Methods: A chart review was performed in patients who underwent radical cystectomy between January 2008 and April 2012. Demographic information was abstracted from patient charts and outcomes compared between operations performed in July, September, and November (first month of each resident's university rotation) to the remainder of the year. Outcomes of interest included mortality, complications, and markers of efficiency (operative time, length of hospital stay, and estimated blood loss). Results: Two hundred and fifty one patients were included in the analysis. There were no major differences in mortality or morbidity between the July, September, November group and the rest of the year. Multivariable analysis demonstrates a trend for operations performed in the months of July, September, and November to be associated with longer OR times 2.06 (0.99-4.27), p = 0.053. Length of hospital stay and estimated blood loss were no different between the two groups. Conclusions: These data demonstrate no increase in mortality or morbidity during the early academic period. Additionally, while there is a trend for OR time to be longer in the early group, length of hospital stay and estimated blood loss were no different. These data may be used as an impetus to continue to investigate technical/clinical teaching practices, strategies to assess resident progression, and to initiate protocols to support residents early in the academic year in efforts to prevent inefficiencies.

Abstract
Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common solid tumor of the adult kidney, with a mortality of 30-40%(1). RCC is highly metastatic and potentially lethal. 25-30% of RCC patients have metastatic disease at diagnosis, and 40-50% of patients develop metastases later. The 5-year survival for metastatic RCC patients is less than 10%(2), due to its highly-resistant to current therapies. The challenge of managing RCC patients in the clinic often involves trying different drugs one after another until one works, so individualized therapy is urgently needed. Our objective was to establish a patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) intra-renal sub-capsular injection NOD/SCID mouse model that recapitulates metastatic RCC for personalized therapeutic strategies.
Two luciferase-tagged RCC cell lines (A498-Luc, 769P-Luc) were used to determine the IC50 of sunitinib, pazopanib, and everolimus using bioluminescent imaging (BLI) of in vitro cell viability assay at 48 hrs. A consented human RCC specimen (KiCa-Pt58) was obtained via radical nephrectomy and tumor cells tagged with luciferase. KiCa-Pt58-Luc cells (0.01 million) were then injected sub-capsularly into the left kidneys of NOD/SCID mice. Mice bearing kidney tumors were split into 1 control and 4 sequential treatment groups receiving 40mg/kg sunitinib, 40mg/kg pazopanib, or 5mg/kg everolimus three times per week via gavage. Tumor growth was monitored weekly by BLI. Drug responses were evaluated based on BLI data and decision made for whether to switch to the next sequence drug. At necropsy, primary tumors and mouse lungs were collected for BLI, weights, and histology.
The IC50 was 6μM for sunitinib and 3.6μg/ml for pazopanib. In our PDOX model, patient tumors successfully produced primary tumor and spontaneous lung metastasis as seen in RCC patients (45/45). Selected drug dosages delivered by gavage were safe, effective and without adverse effects. Drug sequence of pazopanib switch to everolimus is the best among 4 combinations tested for primary tumor progress and lung metastasis for patient tumor KiCa-Pt58.
Our unique PDOX model provides a platform for testing RCC drugs simultaneously for responses in primary tumor progression and metastasis. It could lead to the development of realistic, durable, and individualized treatments for RCC patients.

Abstract
Cancer chemopreventive effects of organic extracts from 29 species of lichens collected in Iceland were evaluated using a panel of in vitro bioassays whereby extracts were tested for potential to induce quinone reductase (QR) and differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cells, inhibit cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), phorbol ester-induced ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), aromatase and sulfatase, as well as for antioxidant, estrogenic/anti-estrogenic and antiproliferative activity. In addition, the extracts were tested for cytotoxicity against 12 cancer cell lines. The most significant results were exhibited by extracts from Xanthoria elegans and Alectoria nigricans , which respectively, induced QR activity (concentration to double activity = 4.8 µg/ml) and inhibited phorbol ester-induced ODC activity with mouse 308 cells in culture (IC 50 = 2.6 µg/ml). Moderate inhibition of [ 3 H]thymidine incorporation with HL-60 cells was exhibited by the Peltigera leucophlebia extract. Several extracts prevented estrogen formation from estrogen precursors by inhibiting the enzymatic activities of aromatase ( Sphaerophorus globosus , Cetrariella delisei , Melanelia hepatizon ) and sulfatase ( Cladonia gracilis , Sphaerophorus fragilis , S. globosus ). None of the extracts demonstrated significant cytotoxic effects with selected cell lines.

Abstract
The prediction accuracy of the Binkhorst, Colenbrander, and SRK formulas were compared in five series from different sources totalling 654 cases. The SRK formula was superior to both the other formulas by having a smaller average error per case, a smaller range of error from highest minus to highest plus, and a smaller proportion of cases with greater than 2 diopters (D) of error in all five series studied. In four of the five series, the SRK formula also had the greatest proportion of cases with less than 1 D of error. The Colenbrander formula was superior to the Binkhorst formula in all five series with regard to average error, proportion of cases with less than 1 D of error, and proportion of cases with more than 2 D of error. The range of error from highest minus to highest plus was equivalent with the two formulas. All available published literature on the accuracy of implant power prediction formulas was reviewed and appears to support our findings.
