Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab significantly improved efficacy versus sunitinib in treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) in the phase 3 CLEAR study. We report results of an exploratory post hoc analysis of tumor response data based on baseline metastatic characteristics of patients who received lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab versus sunitinib, at the final overall survival analysis time point of CLEAR (cutoff: July 31, 2022). Treatment-naïve adults with aRCC were randomized to: lenvatinib (20 mg PO QD in 21-day cycles) plus pembrolizumab (n = 355; 200 mg IV Q3W); lenvatinib plus everolimus (not reported here); or sunitinib (n = 357; 50 mg PO QD; 4 weeks on/2 weeks off). The most common (lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab; sunitinib, respectively) metastatic site was lung (71.0%; 63.9%), followed by lymph node (45.6%; 43.7%), bone (22.5%; 24.9%), and liver (17.7%; 19.6%). Across treatment arms, ≥65% had two or more metastatic organs/sites involved, >80% of patients had nontarget lesions, and ~45% had baseline sums of diameters of target lesions ≥60 mm. Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab demonstrated greater progression-free survival, objective response rate, and duration of response versus sunitinib across evaluable subgroups regardless of site or size of baseline metastasis or number of metastatic sites at baseline. Overall survival generally trended to favor lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab versus sunitinib; and tumor shrinkage was greater across sites (lung, lymph node, liver, and bone) for patients in the lenvatinib-plus-pembrolizumab arm versus the sunitinib arm. These results further support lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab as a standard-of-care in patients with aRCC regardless of site or size of baseline metastasis or the number of metastatic sites.

Juxtaglomerular cell tumor (JxGCT) is a rare type of renal neoplasm demonstrating morphologic overlap with some mesenchymal tumors such as glomus tumor (GT) and solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). Its oncogenic drivers remain elusive, and only a few cases have been analyzed with modern molecular techniques. In prior studies, loss of chromosomes 9 and 11 appeared to be recurrent. Recently, whole-genome analysis identified alterations involving genes of MAPK-RAS pathway in a subset, but no major pathogenic alterations have been discovered in prior whole transcriptome analyses. Considering the limited understanding of the molecular features of JxGCTs, we sought to assess a collaborative series with a multiomic approach to further define the molecular characteristics of this entity. Fifteen tumors morphologically compatible with JxGCTs were evaluated using immunohistochemistry for renin, single-nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP), low-pass whole-genome sequencing, and RNA sequencing (fusion assay). In addition, methylation analysis comparing JxGCT, GT, and SFT was performed. All cases tested with renin (n=11) showed positive staining. Multiple chromosomal abnormalities were identified in all cases analyzed (n=8), with gains of chromosomes 1p, 10, 17, and 19 and losses of chromosomes 9, 11, and 21 being recurrent. A pathogenic HRAS mutation was identified in one case as part of the SNP array analysis. Thirteen tumors were analyzed by RNA sequencing, with 2 revealing in-frame gene fusions: TFG::GPR128 (interpreted as stochastic) and NAB2::STAT6 . The latter, originally diagnosed as JxGCT, was reclassified as SFT and excluded from the series. No fusions were detected in the remaining 11 cases; of note, no case harbored NOTCH fusions previously described in GT. Genomic methylation analysis showed that JxGCT, GT, and SFT form separate clusters, confirming that JxGCT represents a distinct entity (ie, different from GT). The results of our study show that JxGCTs are a distinct tumor type with a recurrent pattern of chromosomal imbalances that may play a role in oncogenesis, with MAPK-RAS pathway activation being likely a driver in a relatively small subset.

PURPOSE: To evaluate treatment outcomes and toxicity in patients with stage T1-3N0M0 oral cancer treated with surgery followed by high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT). METHODS AND MATERIALS: Retrospective study of 50 patients with stage T1-T3N0 tongue and floor-of-mouth cancer who underwent tumour excision (+ elective neck dissection) followed by postoperative HDR-BT due to the presence of negative prognostic factors (close or positive resection margins, lymphovascular and/or perineural invasion, deep invasion). The plastic tube technique (dose: 18 x 3 Gy b.i.d.) was used. Survival outcomes, toxicity, and prognostic factors were evaluated. RESULTS: At a median follow-up of 81 months (range, 4-121), actuarial 5-year local control (LC), nodal control (NC) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 79%, 69%, and 64%. After salvage treatment (surgery + external beam radiotherapy), LC, NC, and PFS increased to 87%, 77%, and 72.3%, respectively. Five-year overall survival and cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates were 73% and 77%. Treatmentrelated toxicity included two cases of mandibular osteoradionecrosis and five cases of small soft tissue necrosis. T stage was significantly correlated with nodal control (p=0.02) and CSS (p=0.04). Tumour grade correlated with DFS (p=0.01). CONCLUSION: Postoperative HDR-BT 18 x 3 Gy b.i.d. seems to be an effective method in patients with T1-3N0M0 oral cancer with negative prognostic factors after tumour resection.

Community-acquired respiratory viral infections (CARV) significantly impact patients with hematological malignancies (HM), leading to high morbidity and mortality. However, large-scale, real-world data on CARV in these patients is limited. This study analyzed data from the EPICOVIDEHA-EPIFLUEHA registry, focusing on patients with HM diagnosed with CARV during the 2023-2024 autumn-winter season. The study assessed epidemiology, clinical characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes. The study examined 1312 patients with HM diagnosed with CARV during the 2023-2024 autumn-winter season. Of these, 59.5% required hospitalization, with 13.5% needing ICU admission. The overall mortality rate was 10.6%, varying by virus: parainfluenza (21.3%), influenza (8.8%), metapneumovirus (7.1%), RSV (5.9%), or SARS-CoV-2 (5.0%). Poor outcomes were significantly associated with smoking history, severe lymphopenia, secondary bacterial infections, and ICU admission. This study highlights the severe risk CARV poses to patients with HM, especially those undergoing active treatment. The high rates of hospitalization and mortality stress the need for better prevention, early diagnosis, and targeted therapies. Given the severe outcomes with certain viruses like parainfluenza, tailored strategies are crucial to improving patient outcomes in future CARV seasons.

INTRODUCTION: It is hypothesized that systemically administered antibiotics penetrate wound sites more effectively during negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). However, there is a lack of clinical data from patients who receive NPWT for deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) after open-heart surgery. Here, we evaluated vancomycin penetration into exudate in this patient group. PATIENTS AND METHODS: For this prospective observational study, we enrolled 10 consecutive patients treated with NPWT for post-sternotomy DSWI. On the first sampling day, serum and exudate samples were synchronously collected at 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 6 h after vancomycin administration. On the following three consecutive days, additional samples were collected, only before vancomycin administration. RESULTS: The ratio of average vancomycin concentration in wound exudate to in serum was higher for free (unbound) (1.51 ± 0.53) than for total (bound + unbound) (0.91 ± 0.29) concentration (p = 0.049). The percentage of free vancomycin was higher in wound exudate than serum (0.79 ± 0.19 vs. 0.46 ± 0.16; p = 0.04). Good vancomycin wound penetration was maintained on the following three days (vancomycin trough exudate-to-serum concentration ratio > 1). The total hospital stay was significantly longer in patients with DSWI (46 ± 11.6 days) versus without DSWI (14 ± 11.7 days) (p < 0.001). There was no in-hospital or 90-day mortality. Two patients experienced late DSWI recurrence. All-cause mortality was 4.8% during a median follow-up of 2.5 years. CONCLUSION: Vancomycin effectively penetrates wound exudate in patients receiving NPWT for DSWI after open-heart surgery.The protocol for this study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov on July 16, 2024 (NCT06506032).

Therapeutic plasma exchange (PLEX) is an adjunctive treatment for patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis and kidney involvement. Little is known about the effect of PLEX on early changes in kidney function. This post-hoc analysis of the PEXIVAS trial investigated the effects of PLEX on changes in kidney function within 12 months. PEXIVAS was a randomized controlled trial recruiting 691 patients with ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis, of whom 349 underwent PLEX and 342 received no-PLEX. The primary outcomes of this post hoc study of PEXIVAS were change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from baseline and recovery of kidney function (defined as eGFR increase of 15ml/min/1.73m2 or more). Baseline eGFR was 21.7 ± 20.3 and 20.6 ± 18.7 ml/min/1.73m2 in the PLEX and no-PLEX groups, respectively. Mean improvements in eGFR at weeks two, four, and eight after initiation of therapy were greater for the PLEX vs. the no-PLEX groups. The greatest significant difference in recovery of kidney function in the PLEX compared to the no-PLEX groups was at week four (relative risk (RR): 1.41; 95% confidence interval:1.09-1.82). Increased eGFR or recovery of kidney function at week four were significantly associated with lower risk for end-stage kidney disease at week 52 (RR: 0.96: 0.95-0.97, and RR: 0.29: 0.16-0.52; respectively). Neither changes in eGFR nor recovery of kidney function differed by reduced- compared to standard-dose glucocorticoid group. Overall, our study indicates that PLEX improves early kidney function in patients with ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis.

The treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with a dismal prognosis. The allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is frequently performed as salvage therapy. Reduced intensity conditioning protocols have been developed with the aim of reducing the leukemia burden without increasing their toxicity. We compared the reduced intensity conditioning FM140 (fludarabine, 150 mg/m2; melphalan 140 mg/m2) with FBM110 (fludarabine 150 mg/m2; BCNU, also known as carmustine, 300-400 mg/m2; and melphalan 110 mg/m2). From the European Bone Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Acute Leukemia Working Party registry, we identified 293 adult patients (FM140, n = 118 and FBM110, n = 175) with AML with relapsed/refractory disease prior to allo-HCT. There were some differences such as age (FM140 = 59.5 years vs. FBM110 = 65.1 years, p < 0.001) and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis based on in vivo T-cell depletion (TCD, FM140 = 39% vs. FBM110 = 75%, p < 0.001). No differences were observed between FM140- and FBM110-treated patients regarding overall survival (OS) (2-year OS: 39.3% vs. 45.7%, p = 0.58), progression-free survival (PFS) (2-year PFS: 36.1% vs. 37.3%, p = 0.69), non-relapse mortality (NRM) (2-year NRM: 15.3% vs. 25.7%, p = 0.10) and relapse incidence (RI) (2-year RI: 48.6% vs. 37.0%, p = 0.7). In conclusion, despite differences in age and GvHD prophylaxis, AML patients with active disease undergoing allo-HCT after FBM110 conditioning showed similar outcomes compared to FM140.

BACKGROUND: Current guidelines discourage prophylactic plasma use in non-bleeding patients. This study assesses global plasma transfusion practices in the intensive care unit (ICU) and their alignment with current guidelines. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: This was a sub-study of an international, prospective, observational cohort. Primary outcomes were in-ICU occurrence rate of plasma transfusion, proportion of plasma events of total blood products events, and number of plasma units per event. Secondary outcomes included transfusion indications, INR/PT, and proportion of events for non-bleeding indications. RESULTS: Of 3643 patients included, 356 patients (10%) experienced 547 plasma transfusion events, accounting for 18% of total transfusion events. A median of 2 (IQR 1, 2) units was given per event excluding massive transfusion protocol (MTP) and 3 (IQR 2, 6) when MTP was activated. MTP accounted for 39 (7%) of events. Indications of non-MTP events included active bleeding (54%), prophylactic (25%), and pre-procedure (12%). Target INR/PT was stated for 43% of transfusion events; pre-transfusion INR/PT or visco-elastic hemostatic assays (VHA) were reported for 73%. Thirty-seven percent of events were administered for non-bleeding indications, 54% with a pre-transfusion INR < 3.0 and 30% with an INR < 1.5. DISCUSSION: Plasma transfusions occurred in 10% of ICU patients. Over a third were given for non-bleeding indications and might have been avoidable. Target INR/PT was not stated in more than half of transfusions, and pre-transfusion INR/PT or VHA was not reported for 27%. Further research and education is needed to optimize guideline implementation and to identify appropriate indications for plasma transfusion.

BACKGROUND: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) that are ten-valent (PCV10) and 13-valent (PCV13) became available in 2010. We evaluated their global impact on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) incidence in all ages. METHODS: Serotype-specific IPD cases and population denominators were obtained directly from surveillance sites using PCV10 or PCV13 in their national immunisation programmes and with a primary series uptake of at least 50%. Annual incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were estimated comparing the incidence before any PCV with each year post-PCV10 or post-PCV13 introduction using Bayesian multi-level, mixed-effects Poisson regressions, by site and age group. All site-weighted average IRRs were estimated using linear mixed-effects regression, stratified by product and previous seven-valent PCV (PCV7) effect (none, moderate, or substantial). FINDINGS: Analyses included 32 PCV13 sites (488 758 cases) and 15 PCV10 sites (46 386 cases) in 30 countries, primarily high income (39 sites), using booster dose schedules (41 sites). By 6 years after PCV10 or PCV13 introduction, IPD due to PCV10-type serotypes and PCV10-related serotype 6A declined substantially for both products (age <5 years: 83-99% decline; ≥65 years: 54-96% decline). PCV7-related serotype 19A increases before PCV10 or PCV13 introduction were reversed at PCV13 sites (age <5 years: 61-79% decline relative to before any PCV; age ≥65 years: 7-26% decline) but increased at PCV10 sites (age <5 years: 1·6-2·3-fold; age ≥65 years: 3·6-4·9-fold). Serotype 3 IRRs had no consistent trends for either product or age group. Non-PCV13-type IPD increased similarly for both products (age <5 years: 2·3-3·3-fold; age ≥65 years: 1·7-2·3-fold). Despite different serotype 19A trends, all-serotype IPD declined similarly between products among children younger than 5 years (58-74%); among adults aged 65 years or older, declines were greater at PCV13 (25-29%) than PCV10 (4-14%) sites, but other differences between sites precluded attribution to product. INTERPRETATION: Long-term use of PCV10 or PCV13 reduced IPD substantially in young children and more moderately in older ages. Non-vaccine-type serotypes increased approximately two-fold to three-fold by 6 years after introduction of PCV10 or PCV13. Continuing serotype 19A increases at PCV10 sites and declines at PCV13 sites suggest that PCV13 use would further reduce IPD at PCV10 sites.

BACKGROUND: Widespread use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) has reduced vaccine-type invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). We describe the serotype distribution of IPD after extensive use of ten-valent PCV (PCV10; Synflorix, GSK) and 13-valent PCV (PCV13; Prevenar 13, Pfizer) globally. METHODS: IPD data were obtained from surveillance sites participating in the WHO-commissioned Pneumococcal Serotype Replacement and Distribution Estimation (PSERENADE) project that exclusively used PCV10 or PCV13 (hereafter PCV10 and PCV13 sites, respectively) in their national immunisation programmes and had primary series uptake of at least 70%. Serotype distribution was estimated for IPD cases occurring 5 years or more after PCV10 or PCV13 introduction (ie, the mature period when the serotype distribution had stabilised) using multinomial Dirichlet regression, stratified by PCV product and age group (<5 years, 5-17 years, 18-49 years, and ≥50 years). FINDINGS: The analysis included cases occurring primarily between 2015 and 2018 from 42 PCV13 sites (63 362 cases) and 12 PCV10 sites (6806 cases) in 41 countries. Sites were mostly high income (36 [67%] of 54) and used three-dose or four-dose booster schedules (44 [81%]). At PCV10 sites, PCV10 serotypes caused 10·0% (95% CI 6·3-12·9) of IPD cases in children younger than 5 years and 15·5% (13·4-19·3) of cases in adults aged 50 years or older, while PCV13 serotypes caused 52·1% (49·2-65·4) and 45·6% (40·0-50·0), respectively. At PCV13 sites, PCV13 serotypes caused 26·4% (21·3-30·0) of IPD cases in children younger than 5 years and 29·5% (27·5-33·0) of cases in adults aged 50 years or older. The leading serotype at PCV10 sites was 19A in children younger than 5 years (30·6% [95% CI 18·2-43·1]) and adults aged 50 years or older (14·8% [11·9-17·8]). Serotype 3 was a top-ranked serotype, causing about 9% of cases in children younger than 5 years and 14% in adults aged 50 years or older at both PCV10 and PCV13 sites. Across all age and PCV10 or PCV13 strata, the proportion of IPD targeted by higher-valency PCVs beyond PCV13 was 4·1-9·7% for PCV15, 13·5-36·0% for PCV20, 29·9-53·8% for PCV21, 15·6-42·0% for PCV24, and 31·5-50·1% for PCV25. All top-ten ranked non-PCV13 serotypes are included in at least one higher-valency PCV. INTERPRETATION: The proportion of IPD due to serotypes included in PCVs in use was low in mature PCV10 and PCV13 settings. Serotype distribution differed between PCV10 and PCV13 sites and age groups. Higher-valency PCVs target most remaining IPD and are expected to extend impact. FUNDING: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as part of the WHO Pneumococcal Vaccines Technical Coordination Project.
