We previously identified an inflammatory molecular subtype of PTC associated with poor prognosis. Based on this subtype, we aimed to develop and validate a noninvasive radiomic signature to predict prognosis and treatment response in PTC patients. Experimental Design: We collected preoperative ultrasound images from two large independent centers (n=2506) to develop and validate a Deep Learning Radiomics signature of Inflammation (DLRI) for predicting the inflammatory subtype of PTC, including its correlation with prognosis and anti-inflammatory traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment. Training set 1 (n=64) and internal validation set 2 (n=1108) were from Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital. External validation set 1 (n=76) and 2 (n=1258) were from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. Results: We developed DLRI to accurately predict PTC's inflammatory subtype (AUC=0.97 in the training set 1 and AUC=0.82 in the external validation set 1). High-risk DLRI was significantly associated with poor disease-free survival in the first cohort (HR=16.49, 95% CI: 7.92-34.35, P&lt;0.001) and second cohort (HR=5.42, 95%: 3.67-8.02, P&lt;0.001). DLRI independently predicted disease-free survival, irrespective of clinicopathological variables (P&lt;0.001 for all). Furthermore, patients with high-risk DLRI were likely to benefit from anti-inflammatory TCM treatment (HR=0.19, 95% CI: 0.06-0.55, P=0.002), whereas those in low-risk DLRI did not. Conclusions: DLRI is a reliable noninvasive tool for evaluating prognosis and guiding anti-inflammatory TCM treatment in PTC patients. Prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.","PeriodicalId":10279,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Cancer Research","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142610299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental Design: A multi-center, retrospective, cohort study of the response and genetic patterns of response to the VA plus HHT (VAH) versus the VA regimens as salvage treatment in patients with RR-AML was performed. The endpoints were the rates of composite complete remission (CRc), measurable residual disease (MRD), event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), and relapse between VAH and VA groups. Results: A total of 321 patients (VAH, n=172; VA, n=149) were analyzed.

VAH significantly mitigated the negative impact on VA efficacy of mutated FLT3-ITD/TKD, N/KRAS, and t(8;21)/AML1-ETO, as well as the relatively unfavorable effects of the TET2 and DNMT3A mutations. VAH significantly enhanced the response of patients with non-adverse European LeukemiaNet (ELN) risk, with a trend towards improved response in those with adverse ELN risk, complex karyotype, and DNMT3A+FLT3+NPM1+. The incidence of grade 3 or higher adverse events was comparable between the two groups.

We tested whether induction chemotherapy (IC) can improve disease control or organ preservation. Patients and Methods: A phase II trial evaluated previously untreated patients with stage II-IV, M0 sinonasal SCC. Patients received IC with docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil, followed by chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for responders and surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy or CRT for non-responders.

The TIE2 inhibitor rebastinib blocks TMEM doorway function in the PyMT mouse model of breast cancer. We aimed to assess the safety and pharmacodynamics of rebastinib plus paclitaxel or eribulin in patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Patients and Methods: This phase Ib trial enrolled 27 patients with MBC who received 50 mg or 100 mg of rebastinib PO BID in combination with weekly paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 (if ≤ 2 prior non-taxane regimens) or eribulin 1.4 mg/m2 on days 1 & 8 (if ≥ 1 prior regimen). Safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamic parameters indicating TIE2 kinase inhibition and TMEM doorway function were evaluated. Results: No dose-limiting toxicities in cycle 1 or 2 were observed among the first 12 patients at either rebastinib dose level. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were anemia (85%), fatigue (78%), anorexia (67%), leukopenia (67%), increased alanine aminotransferase (59%), hyperglycemia (56%), nausea (52%), and neutropenia (52%). AEs attributed to rebastinib include muscular weakness and myalgias. Intraocular pressure increased at the 100 mg rebastinib dose level, whereas angiopoietin-2 levels increased at both dose levels, providing pharmacodynamic evidence for TIE2 blockade.

Materials & Methods: This study evaluated the efficacy of a novel CD30/CD16A bispecific innate cell engager, acimtamig (AFM13), in patients with R/R PTCL. Patients included those with CD30 expression in ≥1% of tumor cells and who were R/R following ≥1 prior line of systemic therapy. Acimtamig (200 mg) was administered once weekly in 8-week cycles.

Previously published studies proposed two different transcriptomic signatures to predict relapse. Molecular heterogeneity has been well established in high-grade sarcomas but little is known about molecular variability within locally aggressive tumors such as desmoids. Experimental Design: We performed transcriptomic profiling of 31 specimens from 20 primary desmoid tumors to identify genes predictive of relapse. We also performed multi-omic analysis including DNA methylation, copy number alterations, point mutations and gene expression on 24 specimens from different regions of primary and recurrent desmoid tumors from 3 patients (7-9 specimens per patient). Results: We observed highly variable expression of transcriptomic prognostic signatures, both in patients who did or did not progress. Signatures associated with favorable and unfavorable outcome were detected in different regions within the same tumor. Further multi-omic studies showed remarkable intra- and inter-tumor heterogeneity of genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic patterns. The transcriptomic profiles showed the highest degree of variability within tumors and between primary and recurrent tumors from the same patient. Conclusions: This study shows an unexpected degree of intra- and inter-tumor heterogeneity in desmoid tumors. Our analysis indicates that molecular analysis of a single tumor biopsy may underestimate the magnitude of molecular alterations in desmoid tumors. Our study also shows that recurrent desmoid tumors acquire multiple new molecular alterations. Thus, molecular heterogeneity is an important consideration in drug development and validation of prognostic and predictive biomarkers for desmoid tumors.","PeriodicalId":10279,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Cancer Research","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142597287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
