The ability of ICB to prevent dMMR malignant or pre-malignant neoplasia development in patients with Lynch syndrome (LS) is unknown. Of 172 cancer-affected patients with LS who had received ≥1 ICB cycles, 21 (12%) developed subsequent malignancies after ICB exposure, 91% (29/32) of which were dMMR, with median time to development of 21 months (interquartile range, 6–38). Twenty-four of 61 (39%) ICB-treated patients who subsequently underwent surveillance colonoscopy had premalignant polyps. Within matched pre-ICB and post-ICB follow-up periods, the overall rate of tumor development was unchanged; however, on subgroup analysis, a decreased incidence of post-ICB visceral tumors was observed. These data suggest that ICB treatment of LS-associated tumors does not eliminate risk of new neoplasia development, and LS-specific surveillance strategies should continue. These data have implications for immunopreventative strategies and provide insight into the immunobiology of dMMR tumors. In a retrospective analysis of patients with Lynch syndrome and primary cancers treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, 12% developed subsequent malignancies, suggesting that this treatment may not eliminate risk in individuals predisposed to mismatch repair-deficient cancers, and ongoing surveillance is warranted.","PeriodicalId":19037,"journal":{"name":"Nature Medicine","volume":"29 10","pages":"2458-2463"},"PeriodicalIF":82.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41237041","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}

MAESTRO-NAFLD-1 was a 52-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial evaluating the safety of resmetirom in adults with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and presumed NASH. Patients were randomized to three double-blind arms (100 mg resmetirom (n = 325), 80 mg resmetirom (n = 327) or placebo (n = 320)) or open-label 100 mg resmetirom (n = 171). The primary end point was incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) over 52 weeks and key secondary end points were LDL-C, apoB, triglycerides (over 24 weeks), hepatic fat (over 16 and 52 weeks) and liver stiffness (over 52 weeks). Resmetirom was safe and well tolerated. TEAEs occurred in 86.5% (open-label 100 mg resmetirom), 86.1% (100 mg resmetirom), 88.4% (80 mg resmetirom) and 81.8% (placebo) of patients. TEAEs in excess of placebo included diarrhea and nausea at the initiation of treatment. Key secondary end points included least square means difference from placebo at 80 mg, 100 mg resmetirom: LDL-C (−11.1%, −12.6%), apoB (−15.6%, −18.0%), triglycerides (−15.4%, −20.4%), 16-week hepatic fat (−34.9%, −38.6%), (P < 0.0001) and liver stiffness (−1.02, −1.70) and 52-week hepatic fat (−28.8, −33.9). These findings demonstrate resmetirom was safe and well tolerated in adults with presumed NASH, supporting a role for further clinical development. (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04197479 ).
