    Abstract: Fulminant myocarditis presentation (FMP) is a rare and severe presentation of myocarditis. The natural history of FMP and its clinical features associated with poor outcomes are incompletely understood because there is a lack of generalizable evidence. Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study included patients hospitalized with histologically proven myocarditis who underwent catecholamine or mechanical support from 235 cardiovascular training hospitals across Japan between April 2012 and March 2017. Clinical features and the prognostic predictors of death or heart transplantation within 90 days on the basis of clinical and pathologic findings were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, and Cox regression analysis. Results: This study included 344 patients with histologically proven FMP (median age, 54 years; 40% female). The median follow-up was 600 days (interquartile range, 36 to 1599 days) and the cumulative risk of death or heart transplantation at 90 days was 29% (n=98). Results from multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that older age, nonsinus rhythm, low left ventricular wall motion ( 〈 40%) on admission, and ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation on admission day were associated with worse 90-day survival. Severe histologic damage (damaged cardiomyocytes comprising ≥50% of the total cardiomyocytes) was associated with a worse 90-day prognosis in patients with lymphocytic myocarditis. Conclusions: The results from analyses of data from this multicenter registry demonstrated that patients with FMP are at a higher risk of death or heart transplantation in real-world settings. These observations inform which clinical and pathologic findings may be useful for prognostication in FMP. Registration: URL: https://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr ; Unique identifier: UMIN000039763.

    Abstract: We aimed to compare longitudinal brain atrophy in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) with healthy controls (HCs). The atrophy rate in patients with anti-aquaporin-4 antibody-positive NMOSD (AQP4 + NMOSD) was compared with age-sex-matched HCs recruited from the Japanese Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative study and another study performed at Chiba University. Twenty-nine patients with AQP4 + NMOSD and 29 HCs were enrolled in the study. The time between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans was longer in the AQP4 + NMOSD group compared with the HCs (median; 3.2 vs. 2.9 years, P  = 0.009). The annualized normalized white matter volume (NWV) atrophy rate was higher in the AQP4 + NMOSD group compared with the HCs (median; 0.37 vs. − 0.14, P  = 0.018). The maximum spinal cord lesion length negatively correlated with NWV at baseline MRI in patients with AQP4 + NMOSD (Spearman’s rho =  − 0.41, P  = 0.027). The annualized NWV atrophy rate negatively correlated with the time between initiation of persistent prednisolone usage and baseline MRI in patients with AQP4 + NMOSD (Spearman’s rho =  − 0.43, P  = 0.019). Patients with AQP4 + NMOSD had a greater annualized NWV atrophy rate than HCs. Suppressing disease activity may prevent brain atrophy in patients with AQP4 + NMOSD.

    Abstract: Ultrasound imaging has been widely used for imaging of the diaphragm thickness (Tdi) and thickening. Few studies assessed the Tdi using ultrasonography in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We measured the Tdi and thickening in patients with COPD compared with healthy younger and healthy older adults to reveal the influence of ageing and/or COPD. Methods Thirty‐eight male patients with COPD (age 72 ± 8 years), 15 healthy younger (age 22 ± 1 years) and 15 healthy older (age 72 ± 5 years) male volunteers were recruited. We measured Tdi at total lung capacity (Tdi TLC ), functional residual capacity (Tdi FRC ) and residual volume (Tdi RV ) using B‐mode ultrasonography. We calculated the change ratio of Tdi TLC and Tdi RV (ΔTdi%). We used a one‐way analysis of variance and multiple comparison test for the comparison analysis. Results The Tdi TLC and the ΔTdi% were significantly lower in patients with COPD compared to the healthy adults. There was no significant difference in these values with age. There was no between group difference in the Tdi FRC or Tdi RV . Conclusions Our results indicate significant differences in Tdi TLC and ΔTdi% between patients with COPD and healthy adults. Therefore, diaphragm ultrasonography can assess diaphragm dysfunction associated with COPD. We suggest that it is better to use Tdi TLC and ΔTdi% (not only Tdi at rest) to assess diaphragm function.

    Abstract: 166 Background: We have evaluated rechallenge treatment with irinotecan plus cetuximab (JACCRO CC-08, n = 36) or panitumumab (JACCRO CC-09, n = 25) in patients (pts) with KRAS wild-type mCRC [Tsuji A, WCGC 2018], and the primary endpoint of PFS rate at 3 months was met in both trials. RAS status in ctDNA may potentially predict responders of the rechallenge treatment in mCRC resistant to anti-EGFR antibody [Cremolini C, JAMA Oncol 2018] . Methods: A post-hoc biomarker study was performed to investigate an association between RAS status in ctDNA and clinical outcomes in the JACCRO phase II trials comprised mCRC pts who achieved a clinical benefit from 1st-line anti-EGFR antibody-based therapy, then had a disease progression at 2nd-line treatment. RAS status in ctDNA was analyzed at the time points of baseline, 8 weeks, and progression using OncoBEAM RAS CRC Kit for specific KRAS/ NRAS mutations, using cut-off value defined as the number of beads with amplified-mutant molecules specifically set per each codon. Results: Sixteen pts (median 67.5-y old, 50% of PS0, 25% of right-sided primary, cet/pani: 4/12) were enrolled in this study, with response rate of 0% and disease control rate (DCR) of 62.5%. RAS mutations (mt) were found at the baseline in 6 out of 16 pts (all left-sided pts with KRAS codon 12, codon 61 and/or NRAS codon 61 mt simultaneously). Pts without RAS mt at baseline experienced longer PFS in 1st-line treatment (11.5 vs. 9.0 m). The DCR was 33% in pts with RAS mt in ctDNA, while it was 80% in pts without RAS mt at baseline. Pts with RAS mt at baseline had significantly shorter PFS and OS than pts without RAS mt [median PFS 2.3 vs 4.7 m, HR 6.2 (95%CI 1.6-30.5), p = 0.013; median OS 3.8 vs. 16.0 m, HR 12.4 (95%CI 2.7-87.7), p = 0.0028] . Six of 10 pts without RAS mt at baseline acquired RAS mt ( KRAS/ NRAS codon 12 or 61) in ctDNA at progression, however there was no difference in survival between pts with/without RAS mt at progression. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that RAS status in ctDNA using OncoBEAM RAS CRC Kit predicts survival of rechallenge treatment with anti-EGFR antibody in mCRC pts. These data can support the application of RAS monitoring into clinical practice. Clinical trial information: UMIN000015914/UMIN000015916.

    Abstract: Several trials have evaluated the efficacy of rechallenge treatment with anti–epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody (mAb) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). A recent trial indicated that RAS status in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) may potentially predict patients with RAS wild-type mCRC resistant to anti-EGFR mAb who would benefit from rechallenge treatment, and the findings should be further investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS We enrolled patients whose plasma samples were collected in prospective phase II trials, the JACCRO CC-08 (n = 36) and CC-09 (n = 25), which evaluated rechallenge chemotherapy with anti-EGFR mAb for KRAS wild-type mCRC. RAS in ctDNA was analyzed at the time points of baseline, 8 weeks, and progression using OncoBEAM RAS CRC kit. RESULTS Sixteen patients were enrolled in this study, with a response rate of 0% and a disease control rate (DCR) of 62.5%. RAS mutations were found at baseline in six patients. The DCR was 33% in patients with RAS mutations in ctDNA, whereas it was 80% in patients without RAS mutation at baseline. Patients with RAS mutation at baseline had significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) than those without RAS mutation (median PFS, 2.3 v 4.7 months; hazard ratio [HR], 6.2; P = .013; median OS, 3.8 v 16.0 months; HR, 12.4; P = .0028). Six of 10 patients without RAS mutation at baseline acquired RAS mutations at progression. Postprogression survival after rechallenge treatment was numerically shorter in patients with RAS mutation at progression. CONCLUSION RAS status in ctDNA was significantly associated with clinical outcomes in patients with mCRC receiving rechallenge treatment with anti-EGFR mAb. These findings could support the clinical utility of OncoBEAM RAS CRC kits for anti-EGFR mAb rechallenge in RAS wild-type mCRC.

    Abstract: Dedicated breast positron emission tomography (dbPET) is a new diagnostic imaging modality recently used in clinical practice for the detection of breast cancer and the assessment of tumor biology. dbPET has higher spatial resolution than that of conventional whole body PET systems, allowing recognition of detailed morphological attributes of radiotracer accumulation within the breast. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) accumulation in the breast may be due to benign or malignant entities, and recent studies suggest that morphology characterization of 18F-FDG uptake could aid in estimating the probability of malignancy. However, across the world, there are many descriptors of breast 18F-FDG uptake, limiting comparisons between studies. In this article, we propose a lexicon for breast radiotracer uptake to standardize description and reporting of image findings on dbPET, consisting of terms for image quality, radiotracer fibroglandular uptake, breast lesion uptake.

    Abstract: 109 Background: Triplet regimen, FOLFOXIRI, combined with bevacizumab (bev) or panitumumab has been shown to be superior in terms of early tumor shrinkage and depth of response (DpR) compared to doublet combinations in patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). We performed a randomized phase II study, DEEPER trial (JACCRO CC-13)[NCT02515734], to investigate the efficacy and safety of cetuximab (cet) vs. bevacizumab (bev) in combination with modified (m)-FOLFOXIRI (irinotecan 150 mg/m 2 , oxaliplatin 85 mg/m 2 , 5-FU 2400 mg/m 2 ) in previously untreated mCRC patients with RAS wild-type tumors (Tsuji A, et al. ASCO 2021). Methods: The primary endpoint was DpR during the entire course. Secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate, R0 resection rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival. A post-hoc subgroup analysis by PS, tumor sidedness, age, and location of metastases was performed to evaluate the efficacy of triplet plus cet vs. bev regimen. Results: A total of 359 patients were enrolled between July 2015 and June 2019. For the full analysis set (median age 65y, 64% male, PS0/1: 91%/9%, left/right primary: 83%/17%), 173 and 175 patients were randomly assigned to the cet and bev arms, respectively. Median DpR was 57.4% vs. 46.0% ( p = 0.001), and the ORR was 69.1% vs. 71.7% ( p = 0.60), in cet vs. bev, respectively. The subgroup analysis was present in the table. There was no significant difference in terms of ORR and R0 resection rate between groups according to PS, tumor sidedness, age, and liver metastases (LM). In patients with only LM, the R0 resection rate of cet vs. bev was 25.0% vs. 14.8% ( p = 0.21). Conclusions: The m-FOLFOXIRI plus cet showed to be significantly superior to the m-FOLFOXIRI plus bev in terms of DpR in first-line treatment for RAS wild-type mCRC. The better DpR of m-FOLFOXIRI plus cet was evident for RAS wild-type mCRC patients with left-sided tumors, LM or under 70 years old. Clinical trial information: UMIN000018217.[Table: see text]

    Abstract: 4523 Background: First-line treatment with pembro or pembro + chemo vs chemo alone was evaluated in patients with PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥1, HER2-negative advanced gastric cancer in the randomized, active-controlled, phase 3 KEYNOTE-062 study (NCT02494583). We present results from the Asian subpopulation receiving pembro monotherapy or chemo. Methods: Eligible patients were randomly assigned 1:1:1 to pembro 200 mg, pembro + chemo (cisplatin + 5-FU or capecitabine), or placebo + chemo every 3 weeks for ≤35 cycles (~2 years). Randomization was stratified by region, disease status, and fluoropyrimidine treatment. Primary end points for this analysis were overall survival (OS) in patients with CPS ≥1 and patients with CPS ≥10; progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) were exploratory end points. Data cutoff was March 26, 2019. Results: Globally, 256 patients received pembro monotherapy and 250 received chemo. Pembro was noninferior to chemo for OS in CPS ≥1 per prespecified margins (median OS, 10.6 vs 11.1 months, respectively; HR [99.2% CI], 0.91 [0.69-1.18] ). In the Asian population 62 patients received pembro and 61 received chemo; 26 and 22 had CPS ≥10 (Table). Compared with the global population, Asian patients had a higher proportion of ECOG performance status 0, more diagnoses of stomach cancer, and a greater proportion with 0-2 metastatic sites. Median OS was longer with pembro than chemo using both CPS cutoffs (HR [95% CI]: CPS ≥1, 0.54 [0.35-0.82] ; CPS ≥10, 0.43 [0.21-0.89]); 12- and 24-month OS rates were higher for pembro using both CPS cutoffs (12-month OS: CPS ≥1, 69% vs 54%; CPS ≥10, 81% vs 68%; 24-month OS: CPS ≥1, 45% vs 23%; CPS ≥10, 54% vs 27%). The HR (95% CI) for PFS was 1.11 (0.76-1.64) for CPS ≥1 and 0.71 (0.36-1.39) for CPS ≥10. Conclusions: In Asian patients with advanced gastric cancer, OS favored pembro in patients with CPS ≥1 and CPS ≥10. Clinical trial information: NCT02494583 . [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 3529 Background: No predictive biomarkers have been validated to determine which patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) benefit the most from angiogenesis inhibitors. Recent studies suggest that plasma angiogenesis factors and their dynamics may have some prognostic or predictive value. Methods: In this prospective longitudinal study, serial plasma sample collections were done at the time points of pre- and post-treatments in mCRC pts receiving biologics in either first- or second-line chemotherapy (chemo). Comprehensive measurements of 17 factors were performed by the multiplex assay with Luminex technology. Statistical analyses were conducted by using the Brunner-Munzel and Jonckheere-Terpstra test. Results: From Sep 2017 to Dec 2020, 789 plasma samples were collected from 498 enrolled pts [first-line chemo plus bevacizumab (BEV, n=102), first-line chemo plus anti-EGFR antibody (aEGFR, n=100), second-line chemo plus BEV (n=100), second-line FOLFIRI plus ramucirumab (RAM, n=99), second-line FOLFIRI plus aflibercept (AFL, n=85) and other treatment (n=7)]. 789 samples were evaluable for this analysis. In the analysis of first-line, level of VEGF-D was significantly higher in both post-BEV and post-aEGFR comparing with pre-first-line [pre-first-line; 264 pg/ml, post-first-line BEV; 354 pg/ml (p 〈 0.001), post-first-line aEGFR; 380.5 pg/ml (p 〈 0.001)], while PlGF was significantly higher only in post-BEV [pre-first-line; 6.7 pg/ml, post-first-line BEV; 23.4 pg/ml (p 〈 0.001), post-first-line EGFR; 7.4 pg/ml (p=0.650)]. These dynamics were also observed in pts with paired samples (Table). In pts with paired samples who received second-line treatment, level of VEGF-A was significantly decreased in post-BEV, while it significantly increased in post-RAM and AFL. A significant elevation of VEGF-D level was observed in only post-RAM. PlGF level significantly increased in post all second-line angiogenesis inhibitors. In the distribution analysis of angiogenesis factors, there were no or weak correlations between VEGF-D and PlGF at the time points of all post-treatments (r = 0.09-0.26). Conclusions: Plasma levels of VEGF-D, VEGF-A and PlGF were independently changed by angiogenesis inhibitors as well as anti-EGFR therapy, suggesting the possibility of usefulness for selecting better biologics by measuring baseline angiogenesis-related factors in first- and second-line chemo.
