    Kurzfassung: Purpose: To report the results of the Malignant Mesenchymal Tumors studies (MMT 84 and 89) of the International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) in males with nonmetastatic paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma. Patients and Methods: From 1984 to 1994, 96 males were treated in SIOP protocols. Radical inguinal orchidectomy was recommended, but initial retroperitoneal lymph node dissection was not performed. Disease was staged according to the SIOP tumor-node-metastasis staging system. Treatment was stratified by stage. In the MMT 89 study, males with completely resected tumors at diagnosis received less chemotherapy (vincristine and dactinomycin) than patients in the MMT 84 study (ifosfamide, vincristine, and dactinomycin). Results: Median age at diagnosis was 65 months. Thirty-one tumors were larger than 5 cm, and 13 males were older than 10 years with a tumor larger than 5 cm. At a median follow-up of 7 years, 87 patients were alive; 79 were in first complete remission and eight were in second complete remission. Relapse occurred in 16 patients (17%). At 5 years, the overall survival (OS) rate was 92%, with an event-free survival (EFS) rate of 82%. OS and EFS were significantly worse for males with tumors greater than 5 cm and for males older than 10 years at diagnosis. Conclusion: Males with paratesticular RMS have an excellent prognosis except for a selected group of patients older than 10 years or with tumor greater than 5 cm. Intensified chemotherapy incorporating alkylating agents for this subgroup may be preferred to the use of systematic lymphadenectomy to improve survival while minimizing the burden of therapy.

    Kurzfassung: To determine whether (1) immunohistochemical (IHC) HER2 status (ie, 2+ or 3+), (2) degree of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) amplification according to (2a) HER2/CEP17 ratio or (2b) HER2 gene copy number, or (3) polysomy significantly influenced clinical outcome for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) –positive breast cancer enrolled in the Herceptin Adjuvant trial of trastuzumab versus no trastuzumab administered after completion of chemotherapy. Patients and Methods IHC and/or FISH analyses were performed locally and required central confirmation as indicating HER2 positivity for trial entry. FISH data from the central HER2 analysis on patients in the 1-year trastuzumab and no trastuzumab arms were assessed in relation to disease-free survival (DFS) after a median 2 years of follow-up. Results Central FISH results were available for 2,071 (61%) of the 3,401 patients randomized to the 2 arms. Among patients with FISH-positive disease, (1) the hazard ratios for trastuzumab versus no trastuzumab were 0.56 (95% CI, 0.32 to 0.99) for locally IHC2+ cases (n = 340) and 0.80 (95% CI, 0.40 to 1.61) for centrally IHC2+ cases (n = 299). There was no significant prognostic relationship between (2a) HER2 FISH ratio, (2b) HER2 copy number, or (3) polysomy and DFS in the control arm or predictive relationship defining differential benefit from trastuzumab. Conclusion There was no evidence for reduced benefit of trastuzumab in HER2 IHC2+FISH+ cases. The degree of HER2 amplification does not influence prognosis or benefit from adjuvant trastuzumab in patients treated with prior adjuvant chemotherapy.

    Kurzfassung: Colony-stimulating factor-3 receptor ( CSF3R)-T618I is a recurrent activating mutation in chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) and to a lesser extent in atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML) resulting in constitutive JAK-STAT signaling. We sought to evaluate safety and efficacy of the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib in patients with CNL and aCML, irrespective of CSF3R mutation status. METHODS We conducted a phase II study of ruxolitinib in 44 patients (21 CNL and 23 aCML). The primary end point was overall hematologic response rate (ORR) by the end of 6 continuous 28-day cycles for the first 25 patients enrolled. We considered a response as either partial (PR) or complete response (CR). We expanded accrual to 44 patients to increase our ability to evaluate secondary end points, including grade ≥ 3 adverse events, spleen volume, symptom assessment, genetic correlates of response, and 2-year survival. RESULTS ORR was 32% for the first 25 enrolled patients (8 PR [7 CNL and 1 aCML]). In the larger cohort of 44 patients, 35% had a response (11 PR [9 CNL and 2 aCML] and 4 CR [CNL]), and 50% had oncogenic CSF3R mutations. The mean absolute allele burden reduction of CSF3R-T618I after 6 cycles was greatest in the CR group, compared with the PR and no response groups. The most common cause of death is due to disease progression. Grade ≥ 3 anemia and thrombocytopenia were observed in 34% and 14% of patients, respectively. No serious adverse events attributed to ruxolitinib were observed. CONCLUSION Ruxolitinib was well tolerated and demonstrated an estimated response rate of 32%. Patients with a diagnosis of CNL and/or harboring CSF3R-T618I were most likely to respond.

    Conservative Treatment for Girls With Nonmetastatic Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Genital Tract: A Report From the Study Committee of the International Society of Pediatric Oncology
    American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) ; 1999

    Kurzfassung: PURPOSE: To report the results of a conservative multimodal approach in girls with nonmetastatic rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the genital tract, treated in International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) Malignant Mesenchymal Tumors 84 and 89 protocols. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From 1984 to 1994, 38 girls with RMS of the genital tract (vulva, vagina, uterus) were treated in SIOP protocols. With the exception of patients with rare small tumors, which were resected at the start of the studies, all patients received initial chemotherapy (CHT) (ifosfamide, vincristine, and actinomycin D). Local treatment including surgery, brachytherapy (BT), and external-beam radiotherapy (ERT) was given only to girls who did not achieve complete remission (CR) with CHT or who subsequently relapsed. RESULTS: The primary tumor originated in the vulva or vagina in 27 girls and in the uterus in 11. The overall survival rate (± SE) was 91% ± 6% at 5 years, and the event-free survival rate was 78% ± 7%. At a median follow-up of 5 years, 30 girls were alive and in first CR and five were alive and in second CR. Four patients treated with complete resection of the tumor at diagnosis received less CHT. Thirteen patients were treated with CHT alone. In 17 patients, local treatment was necessary to achieve complete local control, for a residual mass after initial CHT (10 patients), for viable tumor on biopsy (three patients), or for local relapse (four patients). The local treatment used was radiotherapy (RT) (ERT in three patients, BT in seven), radical surgery with uterine ablation (three patients), RT and radical surgery (three patients), and conservative surgery with RT (one patient). CONCLUSION: Girls with nonmetastatic RMS of the genital tract have an excellent prognosis. We found no difference in outcome between uterine and vulvovaginal RMS. Local treatment does not seem necessary in patients who have a complete response to CHT. When a local treatment is needed, BT may be an alternative to radical surgery or ERT.

    Kurzfassung: To improve outcome for children with nonmetastatic rhabdomyosarcoma and to reduce systematic use of local therapy. Patients and Methods Five hundred three previously untreated patients aged from birth to 18 years, recruited between 1989 and 1995, were allocated to one of six treatment schedules by site and stage. Results Five-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were 71% and 57%, respectively. Primary site, T-stage, and pathologic subtype were independent factors in predicting OS by multivariate analysis. Differences between EFS and OS reflected local treatment strategy and successful re-treatment for some patients after relapse. Patients with genitourinary nonbladder prostate tumors had the most favorable outcome (5-year OS, 94%): the majority were boys with paratesticular tumors treated successfully without alkylating agents. Patients with stage III disease treated with a novel six-drug combination showed improved survival compared with the Malignant Mesenchymal Tumor 84 study (MMT 84; 5-year OS, 60% v 42%, respectively). OS was not significantly better than that achieved in the previous MMT 84 study, but 49% of survivors were cured without significant local therapy. Conclusion Selective avoidance of local therapy is justified in some patients, though further work is required to prospectively identify those for whom this is most applicable. Exclusion of alkylating agents is justified for the most favorable subset of patients. The value of the new six-drug chemotherapy combination is being evaluated further in a randomized study (MMT 95).

    Kurzfassung: As cancer surgery restarts after the first COVID-19 wave, health care providers urgently require data to determine where elective surgery is best performed. This study aimed to determine whether COVID-19–free surgical pathways were associated with lower postoperative pulmonary complication rates compared with hospitals with no defined pathway. PATIENTS AND METHODS This international, multicenter cohort study included patients who underwent elective surgery for 10 solid cancer types without preoperative suspicion of SARS-CoV-2. Participating hospitals included patients from local emergence of SARS-CoV-2 until April 19, 2020. At the time of surgery, hospitals were defined as having a COVID-19–free surgical pathway (complete segregation of the operating theater, critical care, and inpatient ward areas) or no defined pathway (incomplete or no segregation, areas shared with patients with COVID-19). The primary outcome was 30-day postoperative pulmonary complications (pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, unexpected ventilation). RESULTS Of 9,171 patients from 447 hospitals in 55 countries, 2,481 were operated on in COVID-19–free surgical pathways. Patients who underwent surgery within COVID-19–free surgical pathways were younger with fewer comorbidities than those in hospitals with no defined pathway but with similar proportions of major surgery. After adjustment, pulmonary complication rates were lower with COVID-19–free surgical pathways (2.2% v 4.9%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.62; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.86). This was consistent in sensitivity analyses for low-risk patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists grade 1/2), propensity score–matched models, and patients with negative SARS-CoV-2 preoperative tests. The postoperative SARS-CoV-2 infection rate was also lower in COVID-19–free surgical pathways (2.1% v 3.6%; aOR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.76). CONCLUSION Within available resources, dedicated COVID-19–free surgical pathways should be established to provide safe elective cancer surgery during current and before future SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks.

    Kurzfassung: 541 Background: Fulvestrant, an ER downregulator, can be effective in metastatic ER+ breast cancer but resistance is a problem. Everolimus inhibits mTOR; a key pathway in endocrine resistance. We hypothesized that everolimus may delay resistance to fulvestrant and thus improve its efficacy. Methods: We enrolled postmenopausal women with ER+ breast cancer who experienced disease relapse or progression within 6 months of AI use and had measurable/evaluable disease. Fulvestrant was given at 500 mg IM on day1, 250 mg d14, d28, and monthly thereafter. Everolimus was given at 10 mg po daily. Primary endpoint was time to progression (TTP) and secondary endpoints included safety, response, and biomarker analysis. A sample size of 40 patients was calculated to meet a median TTP of 7 vs. 3.7 months for fulvestrant alone as reported in the EFECT trial. Tumor blocks were collected and biopsies done for accessible disease. Results: 33 patients were enrolled. 2 were ineligible and are excluded from analysis. Median age was 54 years (range 40-85). Most common disease sites were bone 84%, liver 62%, and lung 55%. 81% of patients received prior tamoxifen, 71% had prior chemotherapy and 23% had multiple AIs. Median TTP is currently 7.4 months with 4 patients remaining on therapy. Responses include complete response 3%, partial response 10%, and stable disease 42%. 32% of patients had primary refractory disease and 13% discontinued therapy before disease assessment. Most common adverse events were elevated AST 81% or ALT 68%, hyperglycemia 61%, anemia 61%, elevated cholesterol 60%, hypokalemia 52%, mucositis 48%, and weight loss 48%. The majority of adverse events were grade I/II. Fasting lipid profile data is summarized. Conclusions: These results suggest that adding everolimus to fulvestrant improves its efficacy in heavily pretreated ER+ metastatic breast cancer. Toxicity was manageable but needs close monitoring. Biomarker analysis is ongoing in order to identify patients not likely to benefit from this treatment strategy. Clinical trial information: NCT00570921. [Table: see text]

    Kurzfassung: Based on the pivotal role of Ras-Raf-MAP-ERK signaling and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), we conducted a phase II clinical trial of sorafenib targeting RAF and VEGF receptor kinases in PTC. Patients and Methods The primary end point was the objective response rate. Secondary end points included response correlation with serum thyroglobulin (Tg); functional imaging; tumor genotype; and signaling inhibition in tumor biopsies. Using a Simon minimax two-stage design, 16 or 25 chemotherapy-naïve metastatic PTC patients were to be enrolled in arm A (accessible tumor for biopsy). Arm B patients had other subtypes of thyroid carcinoma or prior chemotherapy, and did not require tumor biopsies. Patients received 400 mg orally twice per day of sorafenib. Response was assessed every 2 months using RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors). Results Of 41 PTC patients, six patients had a partial response (PR; 15%; 95% CI, 6 to 29) and 23 patients (56%; 95% CI, 40 to 72) had stable disease longer than 6 months. Median duration of PR was 7.5 months (range, 6 to 14). Median progression-free survival was 15 months (95% CI, 10 to 27.5). In 14 (78%) of 18 Tg-assessable PTC patients, Tg declined more than 25%. Common grade 3 adverse events included hand-foot skin reaction, musculoskeletal pain, and fatigue. BRAF mutation was detected in 17 (77%) of 22 PTCs analyzed. Four of 10 paired tumor biopsies from PTC patients showed a reduction in levels of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor phosphorylation, ERK phosphorylation, and in VEGF expression during sorafenib therapy. No PRs were noted among non-PTC patients. Conclusion Sorafenib is reasonably well-tolerated therapy with clinical and biologic antitumor activity in metastatic PTC.

    Kurzfassung: Diagnosis of AIDS lymphoma in low-resource settings, like South Africa, is often delayed, leaving patients with limited treatment options. In tuberculosis (TB) endemic regions, overlapping signs and symptoms often lead to diagnostic delays. Assessment of plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) by next-generation sequencing (NGS) may expedite the diagnosis of lymphoma but requires high-quality cfDNA. METHODS People living with HIV with newly diagnosed aggressive B-cell lymphoma and those with newly diagnosed TB seeking care at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital and its surrounding clinics, in Soweto, South Africa, were enrolled in this study. Each participant provided a whole blood specimen collected in cell-stabilizing tubes. Quantity and quality of plasma cfDNA were assessed. NGS of the immunoglobulin heavy chain was performed. RESULTS Nine HIV+ patients with untreated lymphoma and eight HIV+ patients with TB, but without lymphoma, were enrolled. All cfDNA quantity and quality metrics were similar between the two groups, except that cfDNA accounted for a larger fraction of recovered plasma DNA in patients with lymphoma. The concentration of cfDNA in plasma also trended higher in patients with lymphoma. NGS of immunoglobulin heavy chain showed robust amplification of DNA, with large amplicons ( 〉 250 bp) being more readily detected in patients with lymphoma. Clonal sequences were detected in five of nine patients with lymphoma, and none of the patients with TB. CONCLUSION This proof-of-principle study demonstrates that whole blood collected for cfDNA in a low-resource setting is suitable for sophisticated sequencing analyses, including clonal immunoglobulin NGS. The detection of clonal sequences in more than half of patients with lymphoma shows promise as a diagnostic marker that may be explored in future studies.
