Abstract
PURPOSE Cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has shown its potential as a quantitative biomarker for longitudinal monitoring of response to anticancer therapies. However, ctDNA dynamics have not been studied in patients with heavily pretreated, advanced solid tumors, for whom therapeutic responses can be weak. We investigated whether changes in ctDNA could predict clinical outcomes in such a cohort treated with combined poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), or non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) received up to 7 days of cediranib 30 mg orally once daily monotherapy lead-in followed by addition of olaparib 200 mg orally twice daily. Patients had progressed on a median of three previous lines of therapy. Plasma samples were collected before and after cediranib monotherapy lead-in and on combination therapy at 7 days, 28 days, and every 28 days thereafter. ctDNA was quantified from plasma samples using a multigene mutation-based assay. Radiographic assessment was performed every 8 weeks. RESULTS ctDNA measurements were evaluable in 63 patients. The median baseline ctDNA variant allele fractions (VAFs) were 20%, 28%, 27%, and 34% for PDAC, TNBC, SCLC, and NSCLC, respectively. No association was observed between baseline VAF and radiographic response, progression-free survival, or overall survival (OS). Similarly, no association was found between ctDNA decline and radiographic response or survival. However, an increase in ctDNA at 56 days of combination therapy was associated with disease progression and inferior OS in a landmark analysis. CONCLUSION ctDNA levels or dynamics did not correlate with radiographic response or survival outcomes in patients with advanced metastatic malignancies treated with olaparib and cediranib.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment options for penile squamous cell carcinoma are limited. We sought to investigate clinical outcomes and safety profiles of patients with penile squamous cell carcinoma receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors. METHODS This retrospective study included patients with locally advanced or metastatic penile squamous cell carcinoma receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors between 2015 and 2022 across 24 centers in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Overall survival and progression-free survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Objective response rates were determined per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours 1.1 criteria. Treatment-related adverse events were graded per the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0. Two-sided statistical tests were used for comparisons. RESULTS Among 92 patients, 8 (8.7%) were Asian, 6 (6.5%) were Black, and 24 (29%) were Hispanic and/or Latinx. Median (interquartile range) age was 62 (53-70) years. In all, 83 (90%) had metastatic penile squamous cell carcinoma, and 74 (80%) had received at least second-line treatment. Most patients received pembrolizumab monotherapy (n = 26 [28%]), combination nivolumab-ipilimumab with or without multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (n = 23 [25%]), or nivolumab (n = 16 [17%]) or cemiplimab (n = 15 [16%]) monotherapies. Median overall and progression-free survival were 9.8 months (95% confidence interval = 7.7 to 12.8 months) and 3.2 months (95% confidence interval = 2.5 to 4.2 months), respectively. The objective response rate was 13% (n = 11/85) in the overall cohort and 35% (n = 7/20) in patients with lymph node-only metastases. Visceral metastases, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 1 or higher, and a higher neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio were associated with worse overall survival. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 27 (29%) patients, and 9.8% (n = 9) of the events were grade 3 or higher. CONCLUSIONS Immune checkpoint inhibitors are active in a subset of patients with penile squamous cell carcinoma. Future translational studies are warranted to identify patients more likely to derive clinical benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare, highly aggressive tumor, with median survival around 5 months. Approximately half of the ATC patients presents with distant metastases at diagnosis, showing even more devastating prognosis, yet no outcome analysis had been reported. In this study, we aim to evaluate the clinical outcome of M1 ATC patients, and to define the group of patients who would benefit from local treatment based on multi-disciplinary approach. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 133 histology-confirmed ATC patients underwent protocol-based multidisciplinary treatment including surgery and chemoradiotherapy (CRT) between May 2016 and January 2022. Patients received intensity-modulated radiotherapy of 30 fractions concurrently with paclitaxel on days 1, 8 and 15 every 4 weeks, and lenvatinib was added upon progression. After 18 fractions of CRT, interim response analysis using modified RECIST was conducted for adaptive treatment planning. We reviewed 58 patients with distant metastasis at diagnosis (stage IVC). Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were measured from the day of diagnosis. RESULTS Most common metastatic site was lung (91.4%), followed by bone (31.0%) and brain (5.2%). Lenvatinib was added for 35 patients after any sign of progression. Fourteen patients received upfront surgery (16 debulking and 5 total) followed by adjuvant CRT in 16 patients. Thirty-one patients received upfront CRT with 2 patients receiving total resection after sufficient down-staging. Six (10%) patients could not complete radiotherapy but continued receiving systemic treatment. The median follow-up was 5.9 months. The median and 1-year OS were 6.2 months and 20.5%, and PFS were 3.7 months and 3.5%. Total RT dose over 60 Gy significantly improved median OS (7.5 vs 4.1 months, p = 0.012) and median PFS (4.4 vs 3.0, p = 0.010). Patients with less than 10 initial metastatic tumors showed better median OS (9.1 vs 4.6 months, p = 0.002) but not PFS (5.1 vs 3.6, p = 0.485). At interim analysis, early response (CR, PR and SD) of primary tumor was not associated with survival, while progression of distant metastases showed significantly worse median OS (9.8 vs 4.6 months, p = 0.001). More than 10 metastatic tumors (HR 2.73, 95% CI 1.32-5.66) and stable metastasis at interim analysis (HR 2.39, 95% CI 1.04-5.48) remained as significant factor in the multivariable cox regression analysis. Median OS and PFS of patients with less than 10 metastases showing no progression at interim analysis were 9.1 months, and 5.1 months. CONCLUSION Local treatment combined with chemotherapy for M1 ATC patients showed outcome comparable to those of non-metastatic ATC results. Active local treatment should be considered especially for patients with less than 10 metastases, and patients without distant progression in early response evaluation.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) provides superior soft-tissue contrast over CT-based image guidance. We collected and analyzed daily pre-treatment (PRE) and real-time motion-monitoring (MM) MR images of patients receiving prostate radiotherapy to assess interfractional and intrafractional variability of prostate using two localization methods: pelvic bony anatomy (bone) and prostate during online adaptive radiotherapy (ART). MATERIALS/METHODS PRE and MM MRIs for the first five fractions of twenty prostate cancer patients who received definitive MRgRT with 1.5T MRI were collected. Using MIM software, rigid registration between PRE MRI and planning CT images based on pelvic bony anatomy and prostate reproduced bone localization and online ART, respectively. To determine interfractional setup margin (SM), prostate was delineated on all PRE MRIs registered after bone and prostate localizations by a radiation oncologist, and centroid values of prostate contours between planning CT and PRE MRIs were compared. To determine interobserver variability, another radiation oncologist, a medical physicist, and a radiotherapist contoured prostate for both localization methods. For internal margin (IM) assessment, we used MM MRIs of the five patients who had all three sets of coronal, sagittal, and axial cine images and determined the maximum contour displacement using in-house MATLAB-based software converting binary image files to 2D cine images with a superimposed grid of 1 mm spacing. RESULTS A total of 100 PRE and 25 MM MRIs were analyzed. Four hundred prostate contours were delineated on MR images registered with planning CT based on both bony anatomy and prostate. After bone localization, SM was 0.57±0.42 mm in left-right (LR), 2.45±1.98 mm in anterior-posterior (AP), and 2.28±2.08 mm in superior-inferior (SI) directions, and IO was 1.06±0.58 mm in LR, 2.32±1.08 mm in AP, and 3.30±1.85 mm in SI directions. After prostate localization, SM was 0.76±0.57 mm in LR, 1.89±1.60 mm in AP, and 2.2±1.79 mm in SI directions, and IO was 1.11±0.55 mm in LR, 2.13±1.07 mm in AP, and 3.53±1.65 mm in SI directions. Average IM was 2.12±0.86 mm, 2.24±1.07 mm, and 2.84±0.88 mm in LR, AP, and SI directions, respectively. CONCLUSION Using daily MRIs from MRgRT, we showed that movements in the SI direction were the largest source of variability in prostate definitive RT. In addition, interobserver variability was a non-negligible source of margin. Optimal PTV margin should also consider internal margin, especially in the SI direction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is lack of consensus about the effectiveness of neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with micropapillary variant urothelial carcinoma (MVUC) prior to radical cystectomy. We studied the association between neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and pathologic response (PR) among patients with micropapillary versus non-variant bladder urothelial carcinoma (UC). METHODS We queried the National Cancer Database to identify patients with localized UC and MVUC from 2004 to 2017. We restricted our analysis to patients who underwent radical cystectomy with or without NAC. We compared clinical, demographic, and pathologic characteristics associated with NAC. We used multivariable logistic regression and propensity score matching to examine the association between NAC and the occurrence of a pathologic complete response (pT0) and pathologic lymph node positivity (pN+). Kaplan Meier analyses and Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess overall survival (OS). We performed analyses among subsets of patients with clinical stage II (cT2) disease, as well as the entire cohort (cT2-T4). RESULTS We identified 18,761 patients, including 18,027 with non-variant UC and 734 patients with MVUC. Multivariable analysis revealed that NAC use was associated with greater odds of pT0 (9.64[7.62-12.82], P<0.001), and the association did not differ significantly between MVUC and non-variant UC. In a propensity matched analysis of patients with MVUC, NAC use was associated with higher odds of pT0 (OR 4.93 [2.43-13.18] P<0.001), lower odds of pN+ (OR 0.52 [0.26-0.92] P=0.047) and pathologic upstaging (OR 0.63 [0.34-0.97] P=0.042) in all stages. Similar findings were observed with cT2 disease. No significant association was seen between NAC and OS with MVUC (HR 0.89 [0.46-1.10] P=0.63), including the subset of patients with cT2 (HR 0.83 [0.49-1.06] P=0.58). CONCLUSIONS NAC is associated with similar pathologic and nodal responses in patients with localized MVUC and non-variant UC. Improvements in pathologic findings did not translate into OS in this retrospective hospital-based registry study.

We investigated whether cediranib combined with olaparib improves the clinical outcomes of patients with prostate cancer. METHODS Patients with progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) were randomly assigned 1:1 to arm A: cediranib 30 mg once daily plus olaparib 200 mg twice daily or arm B: olaparib 300 mg twice daily alone. The primary end point was radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) in the intention-to-treat patients. The secondary end points were rPFS in patients with HRR-deficient and HRR-proficient mCRPC. RESULTS In the intention-to-treat set of 90 patients, median rPFS was 8.5 (95% CI, 5.4 to 12.0) and 4.0 (95% CI, 3.2 to 8.5) months in arms A and B, respectively. Cediranib/olaparib significantly improved rPFS versus olaparib alone (hazard ratio [HR], 0.617; 95% CI, 0.392 to 0.969; P = .0359). Descriptive analyses showed a median rPFS of 10.6 (95% CI, 5.9 to not assessed [NA]) and 3.8 (95% CI, 2.33 to NA) months (HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.272 to 1.504) among patients with HRR-deficient mCRPC, and 13.8 (95% CI, 3.3 to NA) and 11.3 (95% CI, 3.8 to NA) months (HR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.321 to 2.988) among patients with BRCA2-mutated mCRPC in arms A and B, respectively. The incidence of grades 3-4 adverse events was 61% and 18% in arms A and B, respectively. CONCLUSION Cediranib combined with olaparib improved rPFS compared with olaparib alone in men with mCRPC. This combination was associated with an increased incidence of grades 3-4 adverse events. BRCA2-mutated subgroups treated with olaparib with or without cediranib were associated with a numerically longer median rPFS.

Abstract
TMPRSS2 is utilized by SARS-CoV-2 for cellular entry. Androgen-Androgen receptor directed therapy (A/ARDT) downregulates expression of TMPRSS2. We hypothesized A/ARDT might protect prostate cancer (PCa) patients from poor COVID-19 outcome. A retrospective analysis of PCa patients with COVID-19 infection was performed. 146 PCa cases were identified, 17% were on A/ARDT. Hospitalization rates were same 52% (OR = 0.99, 0.41-2.24). Mean hospitalization was 9.2 (Range: 1-25) and 14.9 (Range: 2-47) days in A/ARDT and non-A/ARDT groups, respectively. While definitive conclusions cannot be made regarding outcome differences between groups due to lack of statistical significance, these data generate hypothesis that A/ARDT might shorten hospitalization stay.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We highlight the clinical development of Poly (ADP-Ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in prostate cancer. RECENT FINDINGS Approximately 10 to 30% of metastatic prostate cancer patients carry germline or somatic mutations in DNA repair pathways. BRCA2 is the most commonly mutated gene in DNA damage repair pathways. Because of its critical function in homologous recombination repair (HRR) machinery, deleterious BRCA2 mutation enables synthetic lethality to a PARP inhibitor. Olaparib demonstrated clinical benefit in patients with deleterious mutations in HRR-related genes and most clearly in patients with BRCA2 mutations. Olaparib received the US FDA approval or mCRPC patients with a qualifying HRR gene mutation in May 2020. Rucaparib received an accelerated FDA approval for patients with BRCA1- or BRCA2-mutated mCRPC based on 43% objective response rate in a phase II study. To expand the application of a PARP inhibitor, several trials have evaluated various combination strategies with an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor, immunotherapy, radium-223, and others. While no PARP inhibitor combination regimen has been approved, promising data from a PARP inhibitor and an ASI combination have been reported. PARP inhibitor represents a standard treatment for patient with mCRPC with germline or somatic mutations in BRCA2 and other HRR pathway genes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the SOLO2 trial (ENGOT Ov-21; NCT01874353), maintenance olaparib in patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer (PSROC) and BRCA mutation significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) and prolonged overall survival (OS). Following disease progression on olaparib, efficacy of subsequent chemotherapy remains unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a post-hoc hypothesis-generating analysis of SOLO2 data to determine the efficacy of different chemotherapy regimens following RECIST disease progression in patients who received olaparib or placebo. We evaluated time to second progression (TTSP) calculated from the date of RECIST progression to the next progression/death. RESULTS The study population comprised 147 patients who received chemotherapy as their first subsequent treatment after RECIST progression. Of these, 69 (47%) and 78 (53%) were originally randomized to placebo and olaparib arms, respectively. In the placebo-treated cohort, 27/69 and 42/69 received non-platinum and platinum-based chemotherapy, respectively, compared with 24/78 and 54/78, respectively, in the olaparib-treated cohort. Among patients treated with chemotherapy (N = 147), TTSP was significantly longer in the placebo than in the olaparib arm: 12.1 versus 6.9 months [hazard ratio (HR) 2.17, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.47-3.19]. Similar result was obtained on multivariable analysis adjusting for prognostic factors at RECIST progression (HR 2.13, 95% CI 1.41-3.22). Among patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy (n = 96), TTSP was significantly longer in the placebo arm: 14.3 versus 7.0 months (HR 2.89, 95% CI 1.73-4.82). Conversely, among patients treated with non-platinum-based chemotherapy (n = 51), the TTSP was comparable in the placebo and olaparib arms: 8.3 versus 6.0 months (HR 1.58, 95% CI 0.86-2.90). CONCLUSIONS Following progression from maintenance olaparib in the recurrent setting, the efficacy of platinum-based subsequent chemotherapy seems to be reduced in BRCA1/2-mutated patients with PSROC compared to patients not previously receiving poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi). The optimal strategy for patients who relapse after PARPi is an area of ongoing research.

Abstract
TPS3157 Background: Kidney associated antigen 1 (KAAG1) is highly and selectively expressed on tumor cell surface, such as ovarian, prostate, and triple negative breast cancers (TNBC), and is rapidly internalized and co-localized with a lysosomal marker, making an ideal candidate for an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) target. ADCT-901 is an ADC composed of a humanized monoclonal antibody IgG1 against KAAG1, conjugated through a cathepsin-cleavable linker to SG3199, a pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimer cytotoxin. In mouse xenograft models of human-derived TNBC, ovarian, and renal cancers significant tumor reduction was observed after a single dose of ADCT-901, providing the rationale for clinical development of a PBD-based ADC to treat KAAG1 expressing tumors (Zammarchi et al, AACR 2019). This study aims to identify the recommended dose and schedule for expansion and to characterize safety and tolerability of ADCT-901 in patients (pts) with selected advanced solid tumors that generally express KAAG1. Methods: ADCT-901-101 is a phase 1, multicenter, 2-part, open-label study that will enroll ̃70 pts (NCT04972981). Part 1: pts will receive escalating doses of ADCT-901 guided by a 3+3 design (1st dose: 15 µg/kg every 3 weeks [Q3W]; highest dose: 290 µg/kg Q3W). Dose escalation will be evaluated by administering the lowest dose to first 3 pts, then increasing/decreasing the dose based on dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) experienced by pts. The dose and schedule of ADCT-901 identified in part 1 will be tested in part 2 to characterize safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of ADCT-901. Primary endpoints include incidence of DLTs (part 1 only), frequency/severity of adverse events (AE) and serious AE, clinically significant changes in vitals, laboratory values, overall tolerability, and frequency of dose interruptions and reductions. Secondary endpoints include overall response rate, duration of response, progression-free and overall survival, pharmacokinetic parameters of ADCT-901 total antibody, PBD-conjugated antibody, unconjugated SG3199 in serum, and frequency of confirmed positive antidrug antibody responses. Exploratory endpoints include tumor modulation and potential pharmacodynamic changes. Key inclusion criteria: pathologic diagnosis of selected solid tumor (cholangiocarcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, ovarian/fallopian tube and prostate cancers, TNBC) locally advanced or metastatic at time of screening, pts refractory or intolerant to existing therapy, tissue biopsy or available tissue sample, ECOG of 0-2, and adequate organ function based on predefined laboratory parameters. Pts with symptomatic CNS metastases and clinically significant third space fluid accumulation will be excluded. The study opened for recruitment in September 2021; enrollment is ongoing. Funding: ADC Therapeutics; medical writing: CiTRUS Health Group. Clinical trial information: NCT04972981.

Abstract
161 Background: TMPRSS2 is one of the two key enzymes that SARS-CoV-2 requires for its entry to the cell. TMPRSS2 is regulated by androgen receptor. It is well described Androgen Receptor Directed Therapy (ARDT) downregulates the expression of TMPRSS2. We hypothesized that the ARDT has a protective role in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) from poor outcome of COVID-19. Methods: A retrospective chart review of PCa patients with COVID-19 between March to October 2020 in the Yale-New Haven Health System was performed. Demographics, comorbidities, home medications, laboratory data, treatment, and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 were collected. ARDT was defined as the use of GnRH agonist, GnRH antagonist, or androgen receptor antagonist. This study was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Boards of Yale University. Results: A total of 146 (1.1%) prostate cancer cases were identified from the 13,642 cases of COVID-19. The clinical characteristics are summarized in the table. Twenty-five (17%) were on active ARDT and 121 (83%) not on ARDT (non-ARDT). The rates of hospitalization were the same: 52%, between the ARDT and non-ARDT group. Of those admitted, mean duration of hospitalization were 9.2 days (Range 1-25) and 14.9 days (Range: 2-47) in ARDT and non-ARDT groups, respectively (p=0.14). Rates of hospital stay >30 days were 0% versus 14.3% (9/63) in ARDT and non-ARDT groups, respectively (p=0.15). Intubation rates were 0% versus 11% (7/63) for ARDT and non-ARDT groups, respectively (p=0.21). Mortality rates were 8% and 13.2%, in ARDT and non-ARDT groups, respectively (p=0.47). Conclusions: The prevalence of PCa was infrequent. Despite advanced stage of the cancer in ARDT group, there was a trend toward decreased severity of COVID-19 and mortality rates compared to non-ARDT group. Our data support further investigation on a protective role of hormone therapy in PCa patients with COVID-19.[Table: see text]

Abstract
The world's largest Sihwa Tidal Power Plant (TPP), located on the west coast of Korea, was built in 2011 for the purpose of improving water quality and producing renewable energy. After several years of actual operation, most of the original purpose was achieved, but unexpected coastal environmental changes such as tidal flat damage and sediment accumulation also occurred. In this study, in order to understand the causes of these environmental changes, field observations were conducted near TPP, and spatial and temporal variability of flow structure and water exchange process were investigated. Three-dimensional velocity data were collected along the closed line surrounding the outside of the TPP for 11 h during spring tide and analyzed according to two discharge phases: power generation phase (PGP) and drainage phase (DP). The results show that the depth-averaged maximum current velocity was more than three times greater at DP than at PGP. Jet-like flow during DP caused very high horizontal shear, whereas vertical shear was relatively weak, indicating that the horizontal and vertical flow structures were very different. The most notable result is that the mass transport patterns between PGP and DP are significantly different, i.e., during PGP, mass transport is dominated on the left side of the TPP, whereas during DP, it occurs at the front of the TPP. This means that there is a strong spatiotemporal asymmetry between the inflow from the downstream (outside of the TPP) during PGP and the outflow from the upstream (inside of the TPP) during DP. These asymmetric processes can have a significant impact on the material exchange and sediment transport near the TPP. Since observational studies on TPP are extremely rare, this study is expected to contribute to future TPP related research, such as numerical modeling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to investigate the incidence of and risk factors for postoperative pneumonia and aspiration pneumonia after hip fracture surgery. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study from 2005 to 2021. SETTING Asan Medical Center in Seoul, Republic of Korea. PARTICIPANTS A total 1,208 patients aged ≥ 65 years who underwent hip fracture surgery. MEASUREMENTS Postoperative pneumonia was defined as cases with new infiltration on chest x-ray or chest computed tomography (CT) after surgery or confirmed by a pulmonologist's consultation and diagnosis. Aspiration pneumonia was defined as: 1) radiologic findings of hospital-acquired pneumonia on chest radiographs or CT, medical record of aspiration pneumonia confirmed by a pulmonologist's consultation, and history of vomiting or aspiration, or 2) gravity-dependent opacity on chest CT when the history of vomiting or aspiration is ambiguous. Patient demographics, past medical history, pre-injury Koval score, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), blood test results, length of hospital stay, and in-hospital mortality were evaluated. A comparison analysis and binary logistic regression were performed to identify the incidence and risk factors for postoperative pneumonia and aspiration pneumonia. RESULTS Postoperative pneumonia was diagnosed in 47 patients (3.9%), including 20 with aspiration pneumonia (1.7%). In the multivariate analysis, postoperative delirium (odds ratio [OR], 3.42; P < 0.001), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores ≥ 3 (OR, 2.11; P = 0.021), and CCI (OR, 1.21; P = 0.013) were significant risk factors for postoperative pneumonia. Male sex (OR, 3.01; P = 0.017), postoperative delirium (OR, 3.16; P = 0.014), and preoperative serum albumin levels < 3.5 g/dL (OR, 7.00; P = 0.010) were significant risk factors for aspiration pneumonia. CONCLUSION ASA classification ≥ 3, higher CCI, and postoperative delirium were the risk factors for postoperative pneumonia. Male sex, postoperative delirium, and lower preoperative serum albumin level were the risk factors for aspiration pneumonia. Thus, physicians should pay attention to patients with the risk factors.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The population-based cohort study used the Korean National Health Insurance claims database to evaluate the effect of anti-diabetic drugs on osteoporosis. The use of DPP-IV inhibitors does not increase the risk of osteoporosis compared with the use of sulfonylureas in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, while a weak association was found between thiazolidinediones and increased risk of osteoporosis. PURPOSE The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors (DPP-IVi), thiazolidinedione (TZD), and sulfonylurea (SU) on osteoporosis in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS A population-based cohort study was conducted in the Republic of Korea using the Korean National Health Insurance claims database. Data from 2012 to 2017 for patients of 50-99 years of age who were prescribed DPP-IVi, TZD, or SU during 2013-2015 were extracted from the database. Based on pre-defined criteria, a total of 381,404 patients were analyzed after inverse probability of treatment weighting. The association between the study drugs and osteoporosis was estimated using Cox proportional hazards models. Data of 220,166 patients who were prescribed DPP-IVi, 18,630 who were prescribed TZD, and 142,608 patients who were prescribed SU were set. RESULTS In the multivariate-adjusted analysis, the hazard ratio (HR) of osteoporosis in the DPP-IVi group was not significantly different from that of the SU group (HR: 0.97; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.94-1.00), whereas the HR of osteoporosis in the TZD group was higher (HR: 1.13; 95% CI 1.06-1.20). In the subgroup analysis, the HRs of osteoporosis were higher with pioglitazone (HR: 1.14; 95% CI 1.06-1.23) in the TZD group and with glibenclamides (HR: 1.39; 95% CI 1.09-1.77) in the SU group, whereas drugs with lower HR in the DPP-IVi group were saxagliptin (HR: 0.93; 95% CI 0.87-0.99) and sitagliptin (HR: 0.93; 95% CI 0.89-0.97). CONCLUSION DPP-IV inhibitors do not increase the risk of osteoporosis compared with sulfonylureas in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, while a weak association was found between thiazolidinediones and increased risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a devastating chronic inflammatory skin disease with frequent recurrences. Various systemic treatments and procedures have been used but the efficacy of fractional microneedling radiofrequency (FMR) has not been reported. AIM To evaluate the clinical and histological efficacy of FMR in the treatment of HS lesions. METHODS An 8-week, prospective, split-body, unblinded study was conducted, which enrolled 10 adult patients with mild to moderate HS to receive 3 sessions of FMR treatment biweekly. HS severity was assessed using the number and type of lesions, HS Physician Global Assessment (HS-PGA) and the modified Sartorius score (mSS). Skin biopsies were performed on participants to assess change in inflammation before and after FMR. RESULTS Severity of HS was significantly reduced on the FMR-treated side of the body, but not on the control side. Inflammatory HS lesions were significantly reduced after 4 weeks, while HS-PGA and mSS were significantly decreased after 6 weeks. Immunohistochemistry staining showed decreased expression of inflammatory markers including neutrophil elastases, interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-17, tumour necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor-β1 and matrix metalloproteinases. CONCLUSION FMR may be a viable treatment option for mild to moderate HS.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This study deals with differences of femoral geometric focus on the bowing and width. Analysis using three-dimensional skeletonization showed increase of femoral bowing and femur width over life (more in women), and widening of the medullary canal only in women after 50 years old, not in men. INTRODUCTION The changes in femur geometry that occur with aging and lead to fragility or insufficiency fracture remain unclear. The role of the lower limb geometry, including the femur and femoral bowing, has become a point of discussion, especially in atypical femur fracture. This study aimed to analyze femur shaft geometry using three-dimensional skeletonization. METHODS We acquired computed tomography images of both femurs obtained. A total of 1400 age- and sex-stratified participants were enrolled and were divided into subgroups according to age (by decade) and sex. The computed tomography images were used to produce 3-dimensional samplings of anatomical elements of the human femur using reconstruction and parametrization from these datasets. The process of skeletonization was conducted to obtain compact representation of the femur. With the skeletonization, we were able to compare all parameters according to age and sex. RESULTS The femur length was 424.4 ± 28.6 mm and was longer in men (P < 0.001). The minimum diameter of the medullary canal was 8.9 ± 2.0 mm. The radius of curvature (ROC) was 906.9 ± 193.3 mm. Men had a larger femur length, femur outer diameter, and the narrowest medullary diameter (P < 0.001, respectively). Women had significantly smaller ROC (P < 0.001). ROC decreased by 19.4% in men and 23.6% in women between the ages of 20 to 89 years. Femur width increased over life by 11.4% in men and 24.5% in women. Between the ages of 50 and 89 years, the medullary canal appears to have increased by 32.7% in women. CONCLUSION This geometry analysis demonstrated that femoral bowing and femoral width increased related to aging, and that the medullary canal widened after the age of 50 years in women. This cross-sectional study revealed important age- and sex-related differences in femur shaft geometry that occur with aging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The association of perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale with amyloid accumulation among patients with Alzheimer disease-related cognitive impairment is unknown. We evaluated this association in patients with Alzheimer disease-related cognitive impairment and β-amyloid deposition, assessed with [18F] florbetaben PET/CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS MR imaging and [18F] florbetaben PET/CT images of 144 patients with Alzheimer disease-related cognitive impairment were retrospectively evaluated. MR imaging-visible perivascular spaces were rated on a 4-point visual scale: a score of ≥3 or <3 indicated a high or low degree of MR imaging-visible perivascular spaces, respectively. Amyloid deposition was evaluated using the brain β-amyloid plaque load scoring system. RESULTS Compared with patients negative for β-amyloid, those positive for it were older and more likely to have lower cognitive function, a diagnosis of Alzheimer disease, white matter hyperintensity, the Apolipoprotein E ε4 allele, and a high degree of MR imaging-visible perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale. Multivariable analysis, adjusted for age and Apolipoprotein E status, revealed that a high degree of MR imaging-visible perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale was independently associated with β-amyloid positivity (odds ratio, 2.307; 95% CI, 1.036-5.136; P = .041). CONCLUSIONS A high degree of MR imaging-visible perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale independently predicted β-amyloid positivity in patients with Alzheimer disease-related cognitive impairment. Thus, MR imaging-visible perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale are associated with amyloid pathology of the brain and could be an indirect imaging marker of amyloid burden in patients with Alzheimer disease-related cognitive impairment.

Abstract
3035 Background: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a potential biomarker to monitor treatment response in solid tumors. Our group previously showed that changes in ctDNA levels were predictive of radiographic response and survival in NSCLC patients receiving immunotherapy. Here we evaluated whether ctDNA dynamics could similarly be used to assess response in a PARP inhibitor-based therapy. Methods: A total of 122 patients with NSCLC, TNBC, PDAC or SCLC received cediranib (C) 30mg daily and Olaparib (O) 200mg twice daily in a phase II study NCI9881. Using a multigene NGS assay, ctDNA was measured longitudinally at baseline (T0), after 3 to 7 days of C monotherapy (T1), after 1 week of C+O combination (T2), after 4 weeks of C+O (T3), and every 4 weeks (T4+) thereafter. The first radiographic assessment was done after 8 weeks of C+O and every 8-12 weeks thereafter. CtDNA was quantified by determining the allele fraction of cancer-associated somatic mutations in plasma. We defined an early ctDNA response (e-ctDNA-R) as a >10% decrease in mutant allele fraction from T0 to T2, and an early ctDNA progression (e-ctDNA-P) as a > 10% increase; otherwise, it was stable ctDNA (e-ctDNA-S). Results: In total, 493 samples were analyzed from 94 patients, and 40 unique patients had both T0 and T2 ctDNA measurements, as well as corresponding radiographic assessments. These included 10 NSCLC, 17 TNBC, 3 SCLC and 10 PDAC. Of these patients, 4, 21, and 15 patients had PR, SD, and PD as best overall radiographic response respectively. Twenty-three (57.5%) patients had either e-ctDNA-R (17, 42.5%) or e-ctDNA-S (6, 15.0%), 18 (78.3%) of whom subsequently had either radiographic partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD). Seventeen (42.5%) patients had e-ctDNA-P, 10 (58.8%) of whom then had PD. A fair agreement was observed between e-ctDNA-R/S or e-ctDNA-P and radiographic PR/SD or PD with Cohen’s k 0.38 (70% agreement). The correlation between early ctDNA changes and PFS/OS are summarized in the table. All 25 patients with PR/SD eventually progressed. Of these, 17 (68%) had >10% increase in ctDNA from the nadir prior to disease progression (median 94.6%, 95%CI 38.2%-389.1%). The time between ctDNA progression and ctDNA nadir was significantly shorter (median 21 days, 95%CI 21-28) than the time between radiographic/clinical progression and initial PR/SD (median 107 days, 95%CI 56-204, P=0.0015). Conclusions: Longitudinal ctDNA measurements could enable early assessment of treatment response, resistance, and disease progression in patients treated with PARP inhibitor-based therapy. However, in this study, tumor responses and ctDNA changes were generally not as robust as have been observed with other classes of therapy.[Table: see text]

Abstract
8563 Background: Cediranib, a pan-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, suppresses expression of homologous recombination DNA repair (HRR) genes and increases sensitivity of tumors to a poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor in vitro and in vivo models of breast and ovarian cancer. Olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, demonstrated clinical efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumor with a deleterious mutation in HRR genes. We hypothesized that cediranib induces HRR deficient phenotype by suppressing expression of HRR genes and cediranib and olaparib combination (C+O) results in an objectives response in patients with HRR proficient (HRP) advanced solid tumors. Herein, we report the biomarker data from analyses of targeted sequencing of 84 DNA repair (DR) genes with BROCA-HR assay in patients with metastatic small cell lung cancer (mSCLC). Methods: This multi-institutional phase 2 trial enrolled patients with mSCLC previously treated with a platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients received cediranib 30mg orally (po) daily plus olaparib 200mg po twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST v1.1. A tumor biopsy was obtained from the patients with safely accessible metastatic tumor. HRR deficiency (HRD) was defined as presence of a deleterious mutation in any of the 10 key HRR-related genes per BROCA-HR assay including: ATM, BARD1, BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, CDK12 (somatic mutations only), NBN, PALB2, RAD51C, or RAD51D. Otherwise, the tumors were defined as HRR proficiency (HRP). Results: A total of 25 patients with SCLC received the study treatment. Fourteen patients had available tumor biopsy samples and/or germline available for BROCA-HR. One patient (7%) was determined to have a HRD tumor by a presence of PALB2 mutation. This patient had stable disease as a best overall response but came off study due to unequivocal clinical progression. Thirteen patients (93%) had a HRP tumor. Six of these (46%) patients had PR. Median PFS in patients with HPR tumors was 122 days. The most common gene alterations detected by BROCA-HR assay was TP53 (93%) and RB1 (79%). Other DR gene alterations noted from our study samples were MRE11, CKD12 PALB2, ERCC4, FANCB, and BAP1. Conclusions: HRD was infrequent in our mSCLC samples. C+O resulted in objective responses in 46% of mSCLC patients with HRP tumors. Mutations in TP53 and RB1 were the most common gene alterations. Further investigation in warranted to confirm this observation. Clinical trial information: NCT02498613.

Abstract
Lessons Learned Cediranib and olaparib combination did not result in clinically meaningful activity in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma without known BRCA mutation.
Background Cediranib, a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor, suppresses expression of BRCA1/2 and RAD51 inducing homologous recombination DNA repair deficiency (HRD) in several cancer cell lines and xenograft models [1]. Olaparib provides a clinical benefit in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) with germline BRCA mutation (gBRCAmt) [2]. We hypothesized that cediranib induces HRD in the absence of gBRCAmt and synergizes with olaparib, resulting in an objective response in patients with mPDAC. Methods Patients with mPDAC with at least one prior systemic chemotherapy were enrolled. Patients with known gBRCAmt were excluded. Patients took cediranib 30 mg daily and olaparib 200 mg twice daily, orally. The primary endpoint was objective response (OR) rate. Results Nineteen patients received the study drugs. Seven patients came off treatment before the first restaging scan: six because of clinical progression and one because of an adverse event. No OR was observed. Six patients had stable disease (SD) as a best overall response. The median duration of SD was 3.1 months. The median overall survival was 3.4 months. Common treatment‐related adverse events were fatigue, hypertension, and diarrhea. Conclusion Cediranib and olaparib combination did not result in clinically meaningful activity in patients with mPDAC without gBRCAmt.

Abstract
431 Background: A mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, everolimus, showed activity in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) including an exceptional objective response in a patient with a deleterious TSC1 mutation. Sapanisertib is a potent inhibitor of mTOR complex 1 and 2. Here, we present the data from a phase II study of sapanisertib in patients with TSC1- or TSC2-mutated mUC. Methods: Eligible mUC patients with a TSC1 or TSC2 mutation received sapanisertib 3mg po daily on days 1 through 28 every 28 days. Primary endpoint was the overall response rate. Tumor samples were submitted for central confirmation of the mutation. A prescreening test for TSC1/2 mutation was available at a central lab for those with unknown mutational status. Results: Tumor samples from 41 patients were submitted for either prescreening (n=24) or confirmation (n=17). Of 24 prescreening patients, 4 (16%) had TSC1 mutation; 2 (8%) had TSC2 mutations. Of 17 confirmatory testing, 16 were confirmed by the central lab. Of 23 potentially eligible patients with a TSC1 or TSC2 mutation, 17 (14 TSC1 and 3 TSC2) were enrolled. Baseline characteristics of these 17 patients are shown. Four patients with TSC1- mutated mUC were deemed non-evaluable for response; two withdrew consent before starting sapanisertib to pursue an alternative therapy, and the other two withdrew consent with an adverse event before completing the first cycle. Of 13 evaluable patients, no objective response was observed. Although 4 patients had stable disease (SD) at their first restaging scan, none were confirmed to have SD with a subsequent scan. Median overall survival is 3.4 months. Four patients withdrew consent due to adverse event. Most common adverse events were hyperglycemia (80%), Cr elevation (53%) and AST increased (46.7%). No treatment-related death was observed. Conclusions: Sapanisertib did not result in any objective response in 13 patients with TSC1- or TSC2-mutated mUC. Given the lack of clinical activity, and problems with tolerance of sapanisertib, the trial was terminated early for futility. Future studies of an mTOR inhibitor or other targeted agent in the mTOR pathway should examine molecular alterations beyond TSC1 or TSC2. Clinical trial information: NCT03047213 . [Table: see text]

Abstract
7 Background: We previously reported that cediranib, a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, combined with olaparib, a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor, prolonged radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) compared with olaparib alone in patients with mCRPC. Herein, we present updated clinical data in the overall population and in subgroups by homologous recombination (HR) gene status. Methods: Men with a minimum of one prior line of systemic therapy for mCRPC were randomized 1:1 to receive olaparib 200 mg by mouth twice daily with cediranib 30 mg by mouth daily (C+O) or olaparib 300 mg by mouth twice daily (O). Patients were required to undergo a baseline metastasis biopsy. Next generation sequencing of HR genes was performed on available samples using BROCA-HR assay. HR deficiency (HRD) was defined by presence of homozygous deletions or deleterious mutations in HR genes including BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, and others. The primary endpoint was rPFS and secondary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Results: Eighty-four patients were included in the analysis of whom 26 patients (31.0%) had HRD mCRPC. The most common HR gene alterations included BRCA2 (n=17, 20%), CDK12 (n=9, 11%), and ATM (n=7, 8%). Consistent with our prior report, in the overall cohort, C+O compared to O resulted in a significant improvement in rPFS (Table). The benefit in rPFS was most pronounced in patients with HRD mCRPC; however, there was no difference between arms in HR proficient (HRP) cancers. Independent of arm allocation, rPFS and OS were numerically longer in patients with HRD mCRPC compared to HRP mCRPC (rPFS: 8.8 versus 4.3 months, p=0.14; OS: 18.6 vs. 12.3 months, p=0.24). Conclusions: C+O improved rPFS in patients with mCPRC compared with O alone. The biomarker analyses revealed that the rPFS benefit of C+O over O is likely driven by patients with HRD mCRPC. Our data warrant validation and support further investigation of the combination of C+O in patients with HRD mCRPC. Clinical trial information: NCT02893917. [Table: see text]

Abstract
PURPOSE Atezolizumab [anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (anti-PD-L1)] is well tolerated and efficacious in multiple cancers, but has not been previously evaluated in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study examined the safety, efficacy, and biomarkers of atezolizumab monotherapy for mCRPC. PATIENTS AND METHODS This phase Ia, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study (PCD4989g) enrolled patients with mCRPC who had progressed on sipuleucel-T or enzalutamide. Atezolizumab was given intravenously every 3 weeks until confirmed disease progression or loss of clinical benefit. Prespecified endpoints included safety, efficacy, biomarker analyses, and radiographic assessments. RESULTS All 35 evaluable patients [median age, 68 years (range, 45-83 years)] received atezolizumab after ≥1 prior line of therapy; 62.9% of patients had received ≥3 prior lines. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 21 patients (60.0%), with no deaths. One patient had a confirmed partial response (PR) per RECIST 1.1, and 1 patient had a PR per immune-related response criteria. The confirmed 50% PSA response rate was 8.6% (3 patients). Median overall survival (OS) was 14.7 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 5.9-not evaluable], with a 1-year OS rate of 52.3% (95% CI: 34-70); 2-year OS was 35.9% (95% CI: 13-59). Median follow-up was 13.0 months (range, 1.2-28.1 months). Biomarker analyses showed that atezolizumab activated immune responses; however, a composite biomarker failed to reveal consistent correlations with efficacy. CONCLUSIONS Atezolizumab was generally well tolerated in patients with mCRPC, with a safety profile consistent with other tumor types. In heavily pretreated patients, atezolizumab monotherapy demonstrated evidence of disease control; however, its limited efficacy suggests a combination approach may be needed.

Abstract
Background There is no clear consensus on the recommended second-line treatment for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who have disease progression following gemcitabine-based therapy. We retrospectively evaluated the clinical outcomes of liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) plus fluorouracil/leucovorin (FL) and FOLFIRINOX (fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin) in patients who had failed on the first-line gemcitabine-based therapy. Patients and methods From January 2015 to August 2019, 378 patients with MPC who had received nal-IRI/FL (n = 104) or FOLFIRINOX (n = 274) as second-line treatment across 11 institutions were included in this retrospective study. Results There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between groups, except age and first-line regimens. With a median follow-up of 6 months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 3.7 months with nal-IRI/FL versus 4.6 months with FOLFIRINOX (P = 0.44). Median overall survival (OS) was 7.7 months with nal-IRI/FL versus 9.7 months with FOLFRINOX (P = 0.13). There was no significant difference in PFS and OS between the two regimens in the univariate and multivariate analyses. The subgroup analysis revealed that younger age (<70 years) was associated with better OS with FOLFIRINOX. In contrast, older age (≥70 years) was associated with better survival outcomes with nal-IRI/FL. Adverse events were manageable with both regimens; however, the incidence of grade 3 or higher neutropenia and peripheral neuropathy was higher in patients treated with FOLFIRINOX than with nal-IRI/FL. Conclusions Second-line nal-IRI/FL and FOLFIRINOX showed similar effectiveness outcomes after progression following first-line gemcitabine-based therapy. Age could be the determining factor for choosing the appropriate second-line therapy. This multicenter retrospective study investigated nal-IRI/FL and FOLFIRINOX outcomes after gemcitabine-based therapy. We found no significant differences in outcome between nal-IRI/FL and FOLFIRINOX treatment. Both regimens were well tolerated; however, neutropenia and peripheral neuropathy were more frequent with FOLFIRINOX. Age (cut-off, 70 years) showed differential efficacy between chemotherapy regimens.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transarterial embolisation (TAE) of dorsal pancreatic artery (DPA) haemorrhage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen consecutive patients (M:F = 16:3, mean age 59.6 years) who underwent TAE of DPA in three tertiary medical centres between January 2001 to January 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. Angiographic features and the technical and clinical outcomes of TAE were analysed. RESULTS The clinical presentations were a bloody drain from the Jackson-Pratt drainage tube (n=8), melaena (n=7), abdominal pain (n=4), and haematochezia (n=3). Angiographic findings included pseudoaneurysm (n=14), contrast media extravasation (n=4), or abrupt cut-off of the arterial branch (n=1). The NBCA (N-butyl-cyanoacrylate; n=4), microcoils (n=4), and a combination of these agents (n=7) were used as embolic agents. The most common origin of the DPA in the present study cohort was the splenic artery (n=7), followed by the coeliac trunk (n=4), common hepatic artery (n=4), and superior mesenteric artery (n=4). Technical and clinical success rates were 100% and 84.2% (16/19), respectively. Of the three clinically unsuccessful cases, two patients were revealed to have newly developed bleeding from another artery. The other patient expired 1 day after the TAE procedure due to a progression of hepatic failure. In one patient, an asymptomatic non-target embolisation occurred in the right posterior tibial artery as a procedure-related complication. No major complications were observed. CONCLUSION TAE is safe and effective for the management of bleeding from the DPA. It is important to be aware of the DPA as a potential bleeding source, including the relevant clinical characteristics.

Abstract
Preclinical data suggest that a "prime-boost" vaccine regimen using a target-expressing lentiviral vector for priming, followed by a recombinant protein boost, may be effective against cancer; however, this strategy has not been evaluated in a clinical setting. CMB305 is a prime-boost vaccine designed to induce a broad anti-NY-ESO-1 immune response. It is composed of LV305, which is an NY-ESO-1 expressing lentiviral vector, and G305, a recombinant adjuvanted NY-ESO-1 protein. This multicenter phase 1b, first-in-human trial evaluated CMB305 in patients with NY-ESO-1 expressing solid tumors. Safety was examined in a 3 + 3 dose-escalation design, followed by an expansion with CMB305 alone or in a combination with either oral metronomic cyclophosphamide or intratumoral injections of a toll-like receptor agonist (glucopyranosyl lipid A). Of the 79 patients who enrolled, 81.0% had sarcomas, 86.1% had metastatic disease, and 57.0% had progressive disease at study entry. The most common adverse events were fatigue (34.2%), nausea (26.6%), and injection-site pain (24.1%). In patients with soft tissue sarcomas, a disease control rate of 61.9% and an overall survival of 26.2 months (95% CI, 22.1-NA) were observed. CMB305 induced anti-NY-ESO-1 antibody and T-cell responses in 62.9% and 47.4% of patients, respectively. This is the first trial to test a prime-boost vaccine regimen in patients with advanced cancer. This approach is feasible, can be delivered safely, and with evidence of immune response as well as suggestion of clinical benefit.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of cabozantinib combined with docetaxel. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a phase 1/2 multicentre study in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Docetaxel (75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks with daily prednisone 10 mg) was combined with escalating doses of daily cabozantinib (20, 40 and 60 mg). Based on the results of the phase 1 study, the investigation was expanded into a randomized study of docetaxel with prednisone (hereafter 'docetaxel/prednisone') plus the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of cabozantinib compared with docetaxel/prednisone alone. RESULTS A total of 44 men with mCRPC were enrolled in this phase 1/2 trial. An MTD of 40 mg cabozantinib plus docetaxel/prednisone was determined. Dose-limiting toxicities were neutropenic fever and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, and there was one death attributable to a thromboembolic event. In addition, grade 3 or 4 myelosuppression, hypophosphataemia and neuropathy were seen in three or more patients. In the phase 1 study, the median time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) time were 13.6 and 16.3 months, respectively. In the phase 2 study, which was terminated early because of poor accrual, the median TTP and OS favoured the combination (n = 13) compared to docetaxel/prednisone alone (n = 12; 21.0 vs 6.6 months; P = 0.035 and 23.8 vs 15.6 months; P = 0.072, respectively). CONCLUSION Despite the limited number of patients in this study, preliminary data suggest that cabozantinib can be safely added to docetaxel/prednisone with possible enhanced efficacy.

Abstract
Pneumorrhachis (PR) is a rare radiological condition characterized by the presence of intraspinal air. PR is commonly classified as spontaneous (nontraumatic), traumatic, or iatrogenic, and iatrogenic PR is the most common and often occurs secondary to invasive procedures such as epidural anesthesia, lumbar puncture, or spinal surgery. PR is usually asymptomatic, but it can produce symptoms associated with its underlying pathology. Here, we report a rare case of intramedullary cervical PR following a cervical epidural steroid injection (ESI) and include pertinent discussion.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfecta (ADHCAI; OMIM #130900) is a genetic disorder exhibiting severe hardness defects and reduced fracture toughness of dental enamel. While the condition is nonsyndromic, it can be associated with other craniofacial anomalies, such as malocclusions and delayed or failed tooth eruption. Truncation mutations in FAM83H (OMIM *611927) are hitherto the sole cause of ADHCAI. With human genetic studies, Fam83h knockout and mutation-knock-in mouse models indicated that FAM83H does not serve a critical physiologic function during enamel formation and suggested a neomorphic mutation mechanism causing ADHCAI. The function of FAM83H remains obscure. FAM83H has been shown to interact with various isoforms of casein kinase 1 (CK1) and keratins and to mediate organization of keratin cytoskeletons and desmosomes. By considering FAM83H a scaffold protein to anchor CK1s, further molecular characterization of the protein could gain insight into its functions. In this study, we characterized 9 kindreds with ADHCAI and identified 3 novel FAM83H truncation mutations: p.His437*, p.Gln459*, and p.Glu610*. Some affected individuals exhibited hypoplastic phenotypes, in addition to the characteristic hypocalcification enamel defects, which have never been well documented. Failed eruption of canines or second molars in affected persons was observed in 4 of the families. The p.Glu610* mutation was located in a gap area (amino acids 470 to 625) within the zone of previously reported pathogenic variants (amino acids 287 to 694). In vitro pull-down studies with overexpressed FAM83H proteins in HEK293 cells demonstrated an interaction between FAM83H and SEC16A, a protein component of the COP II complex at endoplasmic reticulum exit sites. The interaction was mediated by the middle part (amino acids 287 to 657) of mouse FAM83H protein. Results of this study significantly extended the phenotypic and genotypic spectrums of FAM83H-associated ADHCAI and suggested a role for FAM83H in endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi vesicle trafficking and protein secretion (dbGaP phs001491.v1.p1).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The relationship between marijuana use and markers of chronic lung disease in people living with HIV (PLWH) is poorly understood. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis of the Examinations of HIV-Associated Lung Emphysema (EXHALE) study, including 162 HIV-positive patients and 138 participants without HIV. We modelled marijuana exposure as: (i) current daily or weekly marijuana smoking vs. monthly or less often; or (ii) cumulative marijuana smoking (joint-years). Linear and logistic regression estimated associations between marijuana exposure and markers of lung disease, adjusted for tobacco smoking and other factors. RESULTS In PLWH, current daily or weekly marijuana use was associated with a larger forced vital capacity (FVC), larger total lung capacity and increased odds of radiographic emphysema compared with marijuana non-smokers in adjusted models; these associations were not statistically significant in participants without HIV. Marijuana joint-years were associated with higher forced expiratory volume in 1 s and FVC in PLWH but not with emphysema. CONCLUSIONS In PLWH, marijuana smoking was associated with higher lung volumes and potentially with radiographic emphysema. No consistently negative associations were observed between marijuana and measures of chronic lung health.

Abstract
Investigation of photodarkening (PD) in Yb-doped fibers tandem-pumped at 1018 nm is reported. For a homemade Yb-doped aluminosilicate double-clad fiber (YADF), the transmitted power of a 633 nm probe beam is reduced by 2.4% over 2 hours for the tandem pumping configuration at 1018 nm, which is significantly smaller than 33.3% for a laser diode (LD) pumping at 976 nm. A tandem-pumped Yb fiber amplifier also shows a much smaller decrease in the amplified output power over time than a LD-pumped Yb fiber amplifier. Based on fluorescence spectra of the YADF, we can not only associate PD of the YADF to intrinsic oxygen deficiency centers or Tm3+ impurities but also confirm the impact of the excited Yb3+ ion density on PD. The benefits of the tandem pumping in a high-power Yb fiber laser system will be discussed.

Abstract
The cause of chronic inflammatory periodontitis, which leads to the destruction of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, is multifactorial. An increasing number of studies have shown the clinical significance of NLRP3-mediated low-grade inflammation in degenerative disorders, but its causal linkage to age-related periodontitis has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we investigated the involvement of the NLRP3 inflammasome and the therapeutic potential of NLRP3 inhibition in age-related alveolar bone loss by using in vivo and in vitro models. The poor quality of alveolar bones in aged mice was correlated with caspase-1 activation by macrophages and elevated levels of IL-1β, which are mainly regulated by the NLRP3 inflammasome, in periodontal ligament and serum, respectively. Aged mice lacking Nlrp3 showed better bone mass than age-matched wild-type mice via a way that affects bone resorption rather than bone formation. In line with this finding, treatment with MCC950, a potent inhibitor of the NLRP3 inflammasome, significantly suppressed alveolar bone loss with reduced caspase-1 activation in aged mice but not in young mice. In addition, our in vitro studies showed that the addition of IL-1β encourages RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis from bone marrow-derived macrophages and that treatment with MCC950 significantly suppresses osteoclastic differentiation directly, irrelevant to the inhibition of IL-1β production. Our results suggest that the NLRP3 inflammasome is a critical mediator in age-related alveolar bone loss and that targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome could be a novel option for controlling periodontal degenerative changes with age.

Abstract
1077 Background: Cediranib, a pan-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, suppresses expression of BRCA1, BRCA2, and RAD51 and increases sensitivity of tumors to poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in vitro. Olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, demonstrates clinical efficacy in patients with germline BRCA1/2 mutations and HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. We therefore tested the anti-tumor activity of the combination of cediranib and olaparib in patients (pts) with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods: This multi-institutional, two-stage, phase II study enrolled patients with metastatic TNBC previously treated with a minimum of one prior line of systemic therapy in the advanced setting. Patients were treated with cediranib 30mg po daily plus olaparib 200mg po BID until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate by RECIST v1.1. Baseline tumor biopsies were obtained for biomarker analyses. Results: Baseline characteristics of the 37pts enrolled are summarized below. The overall objective response rate was 14% (95% CI: 0.025, 0.2453). Median duration of response was 2.0 months (mos) with a range of 1.8 to 6.3 mos. Disease control rate ((# of pts with CR, PR or SD)/(# of evaluable pts)) was 81% (95% CI: 0.6846, 0.937). Median PFS was 3.7 mos (95% CI: 2.1, 4.3). Grade 3/4 adverse events (G3/4 AEs), irrespective of attribution, occurred in 25 of 38 (66%).G3/4 AEs occurring in > 5% of pts were hypertension (24%) and dyspnea (11%), diarrhea (8%) vomiting (8%). Conclusions: The cediranib/olaparib combination resulted in promising objective responses in 14% of biomarker-unselected patients with heavily pre-treated, metastatic TNBC. The regimen required prompt initiation of antihypertensives, but AEs were overall manageable. Analyses of mutation status in homologous recombination DNA repair genes are ongoing and will be correlated with clinical outcome. Clinical trial information: NCT02498613 . [Table: see text]

9065 Background: Cediranib, a pan-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, suppresses expression of BRCA1, BRCA2, and RAD51 and increases sensitivity of tumors to poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in vitro. Olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, demonstrated clinical efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors carrying a germline BRCA mutation. We therefore tested the anti-tumor activity of cediranib and olaparib combination in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors. Here, we report the data from the SCLC cohort. Methods: This multi-institutional, two-stage, phase 2 study enrolled pts with metastatic SCLC previously treated with a minimum of one prior line of platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced setting. Patients were treated with cediranib 30mg po daily plus olaparib 200mg po BID until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST v1.1. Baseline tumor biopsies were obtained for biomarker analyses. Results: Baseline characteristics of the 25 pts enrolled are summarized below. The overall ORR rate was 28% (95% CI: 0.104,0.456). Median duration of response was 3.8 months (mos). Six of 8 pts had an objective response lasting longer than 3 mos up to 10.3 months. Disease control rate (# of pts with CR, PR or SD / # evaluable pts) was 88% (95% CI: 0.75,1.01). Median progression free survival was 4.1 mos (95% CI: 2.3, 6.2). Median OS was 5.5 mos (95% CI: 3.4, NA). Grade 3/4 adverse events (G3/4 AEs), irrespective of attribution, occurred in 14 of 25 (56%). G3/4 AEs occurring in > 10% of pts were hypertension (21%), fatigue (17%) and weight loss (13%). Conclusions: The cediranib/olaparib combination resulted in promising clinical activity with ORR of 28% in biomarker-unselected pts with platinum-pretreated SCLC.

Abstract
111 Background: Cediranib, a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, suppresses expression of BRCA1, BRCA2, and RAD51 and increases sensitivity of tumors to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in vitro. Olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, demonstrates clinical efficacy in men with DNA repair deficient, mCRPC. We therefore performed a randomized phase 2 trial comparing olaparib with or without cediranib in men with mCRPC. Methods: Men with a minimum of one prior line of systemic therapy for mCRPC were randomized 1:1 to receive cediranib 30mg po daily plus olaparib 200mg po BID (Arm A) or olaparib 300mg BID alone (Arm B). At radiographic progression, patients (pts) in Arm B could crossover to Arm A. The primary endpoint was radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS). Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and PSA50 decline rate (PSA50). Tumor biopsy specimens were obtained for biomarker analyses pre- and on-treatment. Results: Baseline characteristics of the 90 pts enrolled are summarized below. The median rPFS was 11.1 versus 4.0 months in Arm A and Arm B, respectively (Hazard Ratio 0.54, 95% CI 0.317, 0.928, p=0.026). Trends toward a higher ORR (19% and 12%), Disease Control Rate (Stable Disease + Partial Response) (77% and 64%,) and PSA50 (29% and 17%) were observed in Arm A compared to Arm B, respectively. Thirteen pts in Arm B crossed over to Arm A. One pt had a PR after crossover. Grade 3/4 adverse events (G3/4 AEs), irrespective of attribution, occurred in 77% and 58% of Arm A and Arm B pts, respectively. G3/4 AEs occurring in >10% of pts were hypertension (32%), fatigue (23%) and diarrhea (11%) in Arm A, and anemia (16%) and lymphopenia (11%) in Arm B. Conclusions: The cediranib/olaparib combination significantly improves rPFS in unselected, mCRPC pts. AEs were manageable. Analyses of mutation status in homologous recombination DNA repair genes are pending and will be key in interpreting the data. Clinical trial information: NCT02893917. [Table: see text]

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of interventional treatment for arterial injury during blind, central venous catheterisation in the upper thorax at two tertiary medical centres. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighteen consecutive patients (37-81 years; M:F=8:10) who underwent interventional treatment for the arterial injuries that occurred during central venous catheterisation without any imaging guidance between November 2007 and December 2018 were included. Clinical data, angiographic findings, detailed interventional procedures, and technical and clinical outcomes were analysed retrospectively. RESULTS Arterial injury sites were the subclavian artery/branches (n=12), axillary artery/branches (n=2), and common carotid artery (n=4). The target vein was not correlated with the corresponding artery/branches in eight patients (44.4%); internal jugular vein to subclavian artery branches. Angiographic findings were pseudoaneurysm (66.7%, 12/18), contrast medium extravasation (22.2%, 4/18), or both (11.1%, n=2). A stent graft was inserted for the main trunk injuries in nine patients, with (n=2) or without (n=7) prior arterial branch embolisation to prevent potential endoleak, while embolisation for the arterial branch injuries was performed in nine patients. Direct percutaneous access with thrombin injection to the pseudoaneurysm or residual arteriovenous fistula was utilised in two. The technical and clinical success rate was 94.4% (17/18) each. There were no procedure-related complications. In one patient without immediate clinical success, there was a persistent pseudoaneurysm after stent graft placement, which was treated with in-stent balloon dilation. CONCLUSION Interventional treatment serves as a safe and effective treatment modality for inadvertent arterial injury related to blind, central venous access catheterisation in the upper thorax.

Abstract
Background Paclitaxel is currently only available as an intravenous (i.v.) formulation. DHP107 is a novel oral formulation of lipid ingredients and paclitaxel. DHP107 demonstrated comparable efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics to i.v. paclitaxel as a second-line therapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). DREAM is a multicenter, open-label, prospective, randomized phase III study of patients with histologically/cytologically confirmed, unresectable/recurrent AGC after first-line therapy failure. Methods and materials Patients were randomized 1 : 1 to DHP107 (200 mg/m2 orally twice daily days 1, 8, 15 every 4 weeks) or i.v. paclitaxel (175 mg/m2 day 1 every 3 weeks). Patients were stratified by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, disease status, and prior treatment; response was assessed (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) every 6 weeks. Primary end point: non-inferiority of progression-free survival (PFS); secondary end points: overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and safety. For the efficacy analysis, sequential tests for non-inferiority were carried out, first with a non-inferiority margin of 1.48, then with a margin of 1.25. Results Baseline characteristics were balanced in the 236 randomized patients (n = 118 per arm). Median PFS (per-protocol) was 3.0 (95% CI 1.7-4.0) months for DHP107 and 2.6 (95% CI 1.8-2.8) months for paclitaxel (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.85; 95% CI 0.64-1.13). A sensitivity analysis on PFS using independent central review showed similar results (HR = 0.93; 95% CI 0.70-1.24). Median OS (full analysis set) was 9.7 (95% CI 7.1 - 11.5) months for DHP107 versus 8.9 (95% CI 7.1-12.2) months for paclitaxel (HR = 1.04; 95% CI 0.76-1.41). ORR was 17.8% for DHP107 (CR 4.2%; PR 13.6%) versus 25.4% for paclitaxel (CR 3.4%; PR 22.0%). Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and mucositis were more common with DHP107; peripheral neuropathy was more common with paclitaxel. There were only few Grade≥3 adverse events, most commonly neutropenia (42% versus 53%); febrile neutropenia was reported infrequently (5.9% versus 2.5%). No hypersensitivity reactions occurred with DHP107 (paclitaxel 2.5%). Conclusions DHP107 as a second-line treatment of AGC was non-inferior to paclitaxel for PFS; other efficacy and safety parameters were comparable. DHP107 is the first oral paclitaxel with proven efficacy/safety for the treatment of AGC. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01839773.

Abstract
Abstract
A recent study has shown that quadriceps strength can be used to predict the level of exercise capacity in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). We investigated whether the relationship between muscular strength and exercise capacity is also observed with hand grip strength (HGS). We studied 443 participants (age, 61.8±11.2 y; 77.7% male) who underwent coronary intervention and participated in cardiac rehabilitation between 2015 and 2018. Participants were assessed for grip strength, measured using a Jamar dynamometer. Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between various clinical measures (HGS, age, sex, etc) with the distance walked on a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). HGS was significantly related to distance walked on the 6MWT (r=0.435, p<0.001). It was the only predictor of all exercise capacity categories, and one of the strongest predictors of each exercise capacity category. A HGS of 25.5% of body weight predicted an achievement of a 200 m walk on the 6MWT (positive predictive value = 0.95). However, HGS less than 35.5% of body weight predicted that 500m could not be done in 6 minutes (negative predictive value = 0.97). This trend was also observed in the subgroups in which VO2max was measured. This study demonstrates that HGS is associated with exercise capacity in CHD and can be used to predict the level of exercise capacity. These findings may contribute to setting the recommended level of daily activity as well as the level of cardiac rehabilitation in CHD.

Abstract
Importance Atezolizumab (anti-programmed death ligand 1) has demonstrated safety and activity in advanced and metastatic urothelial carcinoma, but its long-term clinical profile remains unknown. Objective To report long-term clinical outcomes with atezolizumab therapy for patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Design, Setting, and Participants Patients were enrolled in an expansion cohort of an ongoing, open-label, phase 1 study. Median follow-up was 37.8 months (range, >0.7 to 44.4 months). Enrollment occurred between March 2013 and August 2015 at US and European academic medical centers. Eligible patients had measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0 to 1, and a representative tumor sample. Programmed death ligand 1 expression on immune cells was assessed (VENTANA SP142 assay). Interventions Atezolizumab was given intravenously every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxic effects, protocol nonadherence, or loss of clinical benefit. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary outcome was safety. Secondary outcomes included objective response rate, duration of response, and progression-free survival. Response and overall survival were assessed in key baseline subgroups. Results Ninety-five patients were evaluable (72 [76%] male; median age, 66 years [range, 36-89 years]). Forty-five (47%) received atezolizumab as third-line therapy or greater. Nine patients (9%) had a grade 3 to 4 treatment-related adverse event, mostly within the first treatment year; no serious related adverse events were observed thereafter. One patient (1%) discontinued treatment due to a related event. No treatment-related deaths occurred. Responses occurred in 26% (95% CI, 18%-36%) of patients. Median duration of response was 22.1 months (range, 2.8 to >41.0 months), and median progression-free survival was 2.7 months (95% CI, 1.4-4.3 months). Median overall survival was 10.1 months (95% CI, 7.3-17.0 months); 3-year OS rate was 27% (95% CI, 17%-36%). Response occurred in 40% (95% CI, 26%-55%; n = 40) and 11% (95% CI, 4%-25%; n = 44) of patients with programmed death ligand 1 expression of at least 5% tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC2/3) or less than 5% (IC0/1), respectively. Median overall survival in patients with IC2/3 and IC0/1 was 14.6 months (95% CI, 9.0 months to not estimable) and 7.6 months (95% CI, 4.7 to 13.9 months), respectively. Conclusions and Relevance Atezolizumab remained well tolerated and provided durable clinical benefit to a heavily pretreated metastatic urothelial carcinoma population in this long-term study. Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01375842.

Abstract
Inelastic neutron scattering studies in single crystals of TbInO3 and TbIn0.95Mn0.05O3 with nearly triangular antiferromagnetic lattice are reported. At low energies, a broad and apparently gapless continuum of magnetic excitations, located at the triangular lattice (TL) Brillouin zone boundary, is observed. The data are well described by the uncorrelated nearest-neighbor valence bonds model. At higher energies, a broad excitation branch dispersing from the TL zone boundary is observed. No signs of static magnetic order are found down to the temperatures two orders of magnitude smaller than the effective interaction energy. The fluctuating magnetic moment exceeds two-thirds of the Tb3+ free-ion value and is confined to the TL plane. These observations are consistent with a TL-based spin liquid state in TbInO3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Mechanical thrombectomy with proximal flow control and forced aspiration may improve the outcome of endovascular revascularization therapy for patients with acute stroke. The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of balloon-guiding catheter locations in patients treated for anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke using mechanical thrombectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The influence of the balloon-guiding catheter location (proximal, balloon-guiding catheter tip proximal to C1 vertebral body; distal, between the skull base and the C1 vertebral body) was analyzed in patients with acute anterior circulation stroke treated with stent-retriever thrombectomy. The baseline angiographic/clinical characteristics, time intervals, recanalization rates, and clinical outcomes were compared. RESULTS The clinical analysis included 102 patients (mean age, 69.5 ± 12.8 years; male/female ratio = 52:50). The balloon-guiding catheter was located distally in 49 patients and proximally in 53 patients for flow control and forced aspiration during stent retrieval. The puncture-to-recanalization time was shorter in the distal group than in the proximal group (40 versus 56 minutes, P = .02). Successful and complete recanalizations were more frequently achieved in the distal group compared with the proximal group (98.0% versus 75.5%. P = .003; 67.3% versus 45.3%, P = .04, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that the distal catheterization location was independently associated with successful recanalization (adjusted OR, 13.4; 95% CI, 2.4-254.8; P = .02). CONCLUSIONS Location of the balloon-guiding catheter has a significant impact on recanalization in patients with acute stroke. The balloon-guiding catheter should be positioned as distally as safely possible in the cervical ICA for maximally effective thrombectomy.

Abstract
173 Background: A phase I study of Cabozantinib (C) in combination with docetaxel (D) and prednisone (P) in patients (pts) with mCRPC determined that 40 mg daily was the maximum tolerated dose of C in combination with D and P (C+DP). We report a pooled analysis of the phase I and randomized phase II study comparing C+DP to DP alone. Methods: Eligible pts had mCRPC without prior chemotherapy in the castrate setting. All pts received a fixed dose of D (75 mg/m2IV day one of each 21 day cycle) and P (5 mg PO twice daily), and in the C+DP group, C at three escalating dose levels: 20 mg, 40 mg, or 60 mg in the phase I cohort (all PO daily) and 40 mg daily in the phase II cohort. Results: A total of 32 pts received C+DP (19 pts in phase I and 13 pts in the phase II cohort). 12 pts received DP alone. Baseline characteristics for C+DP vs DP included median age 69 (45 – 84) vs 69 (50-83) and median PSA 74.8 ng/ml (0.01-4093.7) vs 309.5 ng/ml (94.6 – 2649) respectively. Clinical trial information: NCT01683994. 18/32 C+DP pts had previous enzalutamide or abiraterone, with a median PFS of 13.6 months (95% CI: 5.2 – 21.0). 23/32 pts (72%) treated with C+DP required dose reduction or discontinuation of C, and 10/32 (31%) required C discontinuation. 2/32 patients (6%) in the C+DP group died on protocol, possibly related to study drug (sudden death NOS/venous thromboembolism). Grade 4 adverse events (AEs) in the C+DP group included: neutropenia (28%), leukopenia (6%), pulmonary embolism (3%), and mucositis (3%) and in DP: hyperglycemia (8%). Grade 3 AEs (>10%) in C+DP included: neutropenia (31%), febrile neutropenia (16%), leukopenia (13%), hypophosphatemia (13%) and in DP: anemia (17%). Conclusions: In pts with mCRPC, C+DP is associated with a greater PFS and PSA responses compared to DP alone. Toxicities with the combination were manageable. Further study is required to better define the potential benefits of C+DP in mCRPC.[Table: see text]

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to determine the relative bioavailability (RBV) of P in high-protein sunflower meal (HP-SFM) fed to broiler chickens based on bone traits and to determine the effects of dietary phytase supplementation and increasing levels of HP-SFM as a P source on bone traits, growth performance, and apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of DM and nutrients. In total, 240 broiler chicks were randomly allotted to 1 of 10 experimental diets with 6 replicate cages of 4 birds each and fed experimental diets from day 14 to 21 of age. Diets included a corn-soybean meal-based basal diet (0.35% total P; P-deficient diet), or the basal diet supplemented with 0.05, 0.10, or 0.15% P from either monosodium phosphate (MSP) or HP-SFM. Another 3 diets were formulated by supplementing the HP-SFM-containing diets with 500 phytase unit/kg of phytase. The bone mineral content (BMC), bone area (BA), and bone mineral density (BMD) of femur and tibia and tibia ash content increased (linear, P < 0.01) with increasing dietary P content from MSP. A linear increase in femur and tibia BMC, femur BA, and tibia BMD was also observed (P < 0.01) with increasing level of dietary P from HP-SFM. The RBV of P in HP-SFM based on femur and tibia BMC were 41 and 44%, respectively. Dietary phytase supplementation increased (P < 0.01) most of bone traits of the birds except for femur BMD. In addition, birds fed the diets supplemented with dietary phytase had greater (P < 0.05) BW gain, feed efficiency, and AID of P than those fed the diets without dietary phytase. In conclusion, the estimated RBV of P in HP-SFM to P in MSP were 41 and 44% based on femur and tibia BMC, respectively. Also, dietary phytase supplementation increased AID of P, growth performance, and bone traits of the birds fed P-deficient diets containing increasing inclusion level of HP-SFM as a P source.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of aging on the multi-dimensional characteristics and heterogeneity of human peripheral CD8+ T cells defined by the expression of a set of molecules at the single cell level using the recently developed mass cytometry or Cytometry by Time-Of-Flight (CyTOF) and computational algorithms. CD8+ T cells of young and older adults had differential expression of molecules, especially those related to cell activation and migration, permitting the clustering of young and older adults through an unbiased approach. The changes in the expression of individual molecules were collectively reflected in the altered high-dimensional profiles of CD8+ T cells in older adults as visualized by the dimensionality reduction analysis tools principal component analysis (PCA) and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE). A combination of PhenoGraph clustering and t-SNE analysis revealed heterogeneous subsets of CD8+ T cells that altered with aging. Furthermore, intermolecular quantitative relationships in CD8+ T cells appeared to change with age as determined by the computational algorithm conditional-Density Resampled Estimate of Mutual Information (DREMI). The results of our study showed that heterogeneity, multidimensional characteristics, and intermolecular quantitative relationships in human CD8+ T cells altered with age, distinctively clustering young and older adults through an unbiased approach.
