The data cutoff date was December 1, 2024.InterventionPatients received sintilimab, 200 mg, intravenously every 3 weeks, combined with axitinib, 5 mg, orally twice daily, until disease progression, intolerable toxic effects, or withdrawal of consent.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary end points were objective response rate (ORR) via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1, and progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points included safety, overall survival, disease control rate (proportion of patients with complete or partial response or stable disease for ≥6 months), duration of response, and exploratory genomic-associated outcomes.ResultsOf 52 patients screened for eligibility, 41 patients (median [range] age, 36 [18-75] years; 10 [24%] female) were enrolled. The median (range) duration of follow-up was 26.0 (0.7-41.6) months. Overall, ORR was 56% (23 patients; 95% CI, 40%-72%), with a median duration of response of not reached (NR; 95% CI, 23.3 months to NR). The disease control rate was 73% (30 patients). The median PFS was 19.8 months (95% CI, 10.9 months to NR). Patients with low somatic copy number alteration burden showed more favorable therapeutic outcomes. Thirteen patients (32%) experienced grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events, with the most frequent being hypertriglyceridemia in 3 (7%), rash in 2 (5%), and anemia in 2 (5%).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this nonrandomized clinical trial, the combination of sintilimab and axitinib demonstrated encouraging ORR and PFS with manageable safety profile in patients with FH-deficient RCC. This combination therapy warrants further validation in a randomized clinical trial.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04387500.","PeriodicalId":14850,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Oncology","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":28.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144850823","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}

No prior publications have summarized the landscape of childhood cancer survivorship research globally and encompassed high-income countries (HICs) and low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).ObjectiveTo describe the global distribution of childhood cancer survivorship research, including country of origin and study focus, with a systematic review.Evidence ReviewThe Global Index Medicus, CAB Direct, Embase, and PubMed were searched for childhood cancer survivorship studies published between January 1, 1980, and September 1, 2021. Included studies had full texts available and measured multimorbidity or classic survivorship outcomes in children who received a diagnosis of cancer when younger than 20 years. Two reviewers separately screened studies for eligibility. Studies were categorized by World Bank income group and World Health Organization region. Survivorship domains were classified using an existing framework and included mental, physical, or psychosocial health, recurrences and new cancers, and health promotion. Basic quality metrics were assessed, including sample size, source, and uncertainty reporting. χ2 And Fisher tests were used to compare income groups and regions, linear regression for associations between publication year and income group or study domains, and the Mann-Whitney U test for sample size.FindingsA total of 1558 studies were included from 43 countries and territories, with HICs and the combined World Health Organization American and European regions disproportionately represented (1478 [95.2%] and 1436 [92.5%], respectively, of all cohort and cross-sectional studies [n = 1553]). The proportion of LMIC studies increased over time. Physical effects predominated among survivorship domains studied, particularly in LMICs compared with HICs. In HICs, cohort and cross-sectional sample sizes were larger (median, 276.5 [IQR, 80.0-1732.5] vs 87.0 [IQR, 50.0-130.0]) and more often drawn from the entire population or multiple rather than single institutions.Conclusions and RelevanceThis systematic review results suggest that the global compendium of childhood cancer survivorship data does not reflect the global population of survivors. Supporting survivorship research in diverse regions and areas of study is crucial to achieving equitable long-term outcomes globally.","PeriodicalId":14850,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Oncology","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":28.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144850821","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}

While overall survival remains the primary efficacy end point, health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) represents a crucial complementary outcome that has not been comprehensively compared across available treatments.ObjectiveTo compare the HR-QoL effects associated with different first-line treatments for unresectable or advanced HCC and to integrate treatment-induced survival benefit with impact on patients' HR-QoL.Data SourcesThe MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and Scopus databases were systematically searched for studies published from inception through November 2024. The search was supplemented with manual reviews of reference lists and abstracts from main oncology conferences from the past 5 years (2020-2024).Study SelectionPhase 3 randomized clinical trials comparing tyrosine kinase inhibitor monotherapy to immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapies in first-line advanced HCC and reporting HR-QoL deterioration were included.Data Extraction and SynthesisStudy selection and data extraction were performed by 2 independent reviewers, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The Cochrane Collaboration tool was used to assess risk of bias. A bayesian network meta-analysis was performed using sorafenib as the comparator.Main Outcomes and MeasuresTime to deterioration of HR-QoL domains were assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer's Quality-of-Life Questionnaire Core 30 and HCC18. Treatment ranking was calculated using surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) for HR-QoL items.ResultsSeven HR-QoL items from 9 randomized clinical trials enrolling 6425 patients met inclusion criteria. SUCRA calculations showed that atezolizumab plus bevacizumab had the highest probability of reducing deterioration of global health status and QoL (85%), abdominal swelling (95%), jaundice (89%), and pain (86%). When integrating HR-QoL with overall survival, atezolizumab plus bevacizumab outperformed all other treatments across all items.Conclusions and RelevanceThis network meta-analysis found that atezolizumab plus bevacizumab provides the best balance between QoL preservation and overall survival benefit compared to other systemic therapy options in unresectable or advanced HCC. This integrated assessment of survival and quality of life outcomes offers a more patient-centered approach for treatment selection in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":14850,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Oncology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":28.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144850824","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}
