Abstract Background Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tofacitinib in ulcerative colitis (UC) in real life. Methods Patients from the prospectively maintained ENEIDA registry treated with tofacitinib due to active UC were included. Clinical activity and effectiveness were defined based on Partial Mayo Score (PMS). The short-term response was assessed at week 4, 8 and 16. The last-observation-carried-forward method was used in patients that stopped tofacitinib before the time-points for clinical assessment. Variables associated with short-term remission at week 8 were identified by logistic regression analysis. The cumulative retention rate and the cumulative incidence of relapse over time were assessed by survival curves. Cox-regression analysis was performed to identify predictive factors of tofacitinib discontinuation or relapse over time. Data quality was assessed by remote monitoring. Results 113 patients were included (Table 1 and Figure 1) and exposed to tofacitinib a median of 44 (interquartile range = 30–66) weeks. Response and remission at week 8 were 60% and 31%, respectively (Figure 2). In multivariate analysis, higher PMS at week 4 [odds ratio (OR)=0.2; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.1–0.4] was the only variable associated with the likeliness of achieving remission at week 8. Higher PMS at week 4 (OR = 0.5; 95% CI = 0.3–0.7) and higher PMS at week 8 (OR = 0.2; 95% CI = 0.1–0.5) were associated with lower probability of achieving remission at week 16. Twenty per cent of those without remission at week 4, and 12% of those without remission at week 8, achieved remission at week 16. A total of 45 patients (40%) discontinued tofacitinib over time (Figure 3); the discontinuation rate was 34% and 46% at 24 and 52 weeks, respectively. PMS at week 8 was the only factor associated with tofacitinib discontinuation [Hazard ratio (HR) = 1.5; 95% CI = 1.3–1.6)]. A total of 33 patients had remission at week 8; from them, 65% relapsed 52 weeks after achieving remission; 9 patients increased the dose to 10 mg /12 h and 5 reached remission again. No factors associated with relapse over time were identified. Eighteen patients had adverse events (4 hypercholesterolaemia, 2 herpes zoster, 3 infections, 2 dyspnoea, 1 neoplasia, 1 lymphopenia, 1 headache, 1 hypertriglyceridaemia and 4 others). No thromboembolic events were reported. Conclusion Tofacitinib is relatively effective in UC patients in real practice even in a highly refractory cohort. Only 10% of the patients without remission at week 8 reached remission at week 16. A relevant proportion of patients discontinue the drug over time, mainly due to primary failure. Over 60% of patients that achieve remission, relapse over time. Safety was consistent with the known profile of tofacitinib

Abstract Aim To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tofacitinib in ulcerative colitis [UC] in real life. Methods Patients from the prospectively maintained ENEIDA registry and treated with tofacitinib due to active UC were included. Clinical activity and effectiveness were defined based on Partial Mayo Score [PMS]. Short-term response/remission was assessed at Weeks 4, 8, and 16. Results A total of 113 patients were included. They were exposed to tofacitinib for a median time of 44 weeks. Response and remission at Week 8 were 60% and 31%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, higher PMS at Week 4 (odds ratio [OR] = 0].2; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0].1–0.4) was the only variable associated with lower likelihood of achieving remission at Week 8. Higher PMS at Week 4 [OR = 0.5; 95% CI = 0.3–0.7] and higher PMS at Week 8 [OR = 0.2; 95% CI = 0.1–0.5] were associated with lower probability of achieving remission at Week 16. A total of 45 patients [40%] discontinued tofacitinib over time. Higher PMS at Week 8 was the only factor associated with higher tofacitinib discontinuation [hazard ratio = 1.5; 95% CI = 1.3–1.6]. A total of 34 patients had remission at Week 8; of these, 65% had relapsed 52 weeks after achieving remission; the dose was increased to 10 mg/12 h in nine patients, and five of them reached remission again. Seventeen patients had adverse events. Conclusions Tofacitinib is effective and safe in UC patients in real practice, even in a highly refractory cohort. A relevant proportion of patients discontinue the drug over time, mainly due to primary failure.

Abstract Background Ustekinumab has shown promising results in ulcerative colitis (UC) in the development program (UNIFI) that should be confirmed in clinical practice. Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ustekinumab in UC in real life. Methods Patients included in the prospectively maintained ENEIDA registry that received at least 1 dose of ustekinumab intravenously due to active UC were included. Clinical activity and effectiveness were defined based on Partial Mayo Score (PMS). The short-term response was assessed at week 8 and 16. The last-observation-carried-forward method was used in patients that stopped ustekinumab treatment before week 8 or 16. Variables associated with short-term remission were identified by logistic regression analysis. Data quality was assessed by remote monitoring. Results Forty-seven patients were included (Table 1); all of them had been previously exposed to biologic agents (70% to >2): 100% to anti-TNF and 83% to vedolizumab. A total of 26% had been exposed to tofacitinib. Seventeen patients (36%) had response at week 8 [3 of them (6%) had remission]; 16 patients (34%) had response at week 16 [5 of them (11%) had remission] (Figure 1). There was a statistically significant decrease in C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration during the induction only in patients with a response at week 16 (Figure 2). The proportion of patients with CRP elevated at baseline and at week 8 was higher among non-responders at week 16 (Table 2). In the multivariate analysis, higher PMS at week 8 [odds ratio (OR) = 0.5; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.3–0.9)] and CRP over the upper normal limit at week 8 (OR = 0.1; 95% CI = 0.01–0.8) were associated with lower probability of response at week 16; steroids during induction increased the probability of response at week 16 (OR = 8; 95% CI = 1–71). Of patients without response at week 8, only 7% achieved response at week 16. Seventeen out of 31 patients continued ustekinumab beyond week 16, despite being non-responders. Of these 17 patients, 4 reached remission after the third dose, 1 after the fifth and 1 after the seventh one. There were 2 infections, one of them with fatal consequences (in a patient under steroids and tacrolimus due to renal transplant). Conclusion Ustekinumab shows benefit in some UC patients in real practice, even in a very refractory cohort in which the drug was prescribed as last resort. Patient status at week 8 seems to be a good predictor of response after the induction. Safety was consistent with the known profile of ustekinumab.

62 Background: Esophageal cancer management has evolved due to improvements in staging and treatment strategies. Endoscopic local excision presents an attractive option for definitive management of T1 cancers, avoiding the morbidity of esophagectomy. We hypothesized that for cT1N0 cancers, patients who underwent local excision would have lower survival compared to esophagectomy due to potential discordant staging. Methods: The National Cancer Database was queried for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) with AJCC T1N0 clinical stage who underwent local excision (n = 1625) or esophagectomy (n = 3255) between 1998 and 2012. Chi-square analysis was used to compare demographic and clinical characteristics by procedure. Chi-square trend analysis was performed to assess trends in procedure type over time. Cox Regression analysis was performed to assess survival by procedure controlling for demographic and clinical characteristics. Results: Between 1998 and 2012, the proportion of patients who underwent local excision increased from 12% to 50% for all patients (p < 0.001); from 17% to 40% for SCC patients (p < 0.001); and from 9% to 51% for AC patients (p < 0.001). Surgical procedure varied significantly by demographic, socioeconomic status, facility, and tumor-related factors. 65% of cT1N0 cancers had concordant clinical and pathological staging after esophagectomy, with 11% having positive nodal disease; 44% were concordant after local excision. While no significant difference was seen in unadjusted survival, adjusted Cox Regression analysis indicated worse survival after esophagectomy compared to local excision for all cases (HR 1.67; 95% CI, 1.40-2.00) and for ACs with concordant staging (HR 1.54; 95% CI, 1.11-2.14). Conclusions: Local excision for cT1N0 esophageal cancer has increased over time. Staging concordance for esophagectomy is seen in two-thirds of cases. Contrary to our hypothesis, patients undergoing local excision for T1N0 cancers have better overall survival than those undergoing esophagectomy, which may reflect early differences in mortality and/or selection bias. As this study was unable to distinguish T1a from T1b, further analysis is warranted.

Abstract Background The development program (UNIFI) has shown promising results of ustekinumab in ulcerative colitis (UC) treatment that should be confirmed in clinical practice. Aims Primary: to evaluate the durability of ustekinumab treatment in UC patients in clinical practice. Secondary: to assess the short-term response (at week 16) and the long-term effectiveness (at maximum follow-up) and to assess the safety of ustekinumab in clinical practice. Methods Patients included in the prospectively maintained ENEIDA registry who received at least one intravenous dose of ustekinumab due to active UC [Partial Mayo Score (PMS) &gt;2] were included. Clinical activity and effectiveness were defined based on PMS. Results 95 patients were included (table 1). At week 16, 53% of patients had clinical response (including 35% of patients in remission) (figure 1). In the multivariate analysis, elevated serum C-reactive protein was the only variable significantly associated with clinical remission. Long-term remission is represented in figure 2. 36% of patients discontinued the treatment with ustekinumab during a median follow-up of 31 weeks. The probability of maintaining ustekinumab treatment was 87% at week 16, 63% at week 56, and 59% at week 72 (figure 3); primary failure was the main reason for ustekinumab discontinuation. No variable was associated with risk of discontinuation. Three patients reported adverse events; one of them had a fatal severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. Conclusion Ustekinumab is effective both in the short and the long-term in real-life, even in a highly refractory cohort. Higher inflammatory burden at baseline correlated with lower probability of achieving remission. Safety was consistent with the known profile of ustekinumab.

Abstract Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features and clinical efficacy among 101 cases of rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and to investigate the significance of imatinib mesylate (IM) neoadjuvant therapy. Methods The clinicopathological features, treatment methods, perioperative data, and prognosis of the patients were summarized and analysed in 101 patients with rectal GISTs who received treatment in the Gastrointestinal Surgery of West China Hospital of Sichuan University and the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from August 2002 to November 2020 in China. Results A total of 101 patients, including 64 males and 37 females, were aged from 22 to 79 years (55.4 ± 12.2 years). Among the 70 patients who underwent direct surgery, 8 were very low risk cases, 10 were low risk cases, 7 were intermediate risk cases, and 45 were high risk cases. Cox regression analysis showed that postoperative IM adjuvant treatment improved the disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of 52 intermediate and high risk patients. Among the 31 patients who received neoadjuvant therapy, the objective response rate (ORR) was 83.9% (26/31), and the disease control rate (DCR) reached 96.8% (30/31). Subgroup analysis was also conducted based on the tumour diameter. (1) Among the 36 patients with a diameter ≤ 5 cm, two patients received IM neoadjuvant therapy, while 34 patients received direct surgery. Neither univariate nor Cox regression analysis found that neoadjuvant therapy affected DFS and OS. (2) Among the 65 patients with a diameter > 5 cm, 29 received IM neoadjuvant therapy, and 36 received direct surgery. Patients who underwent neoadjuvant therapy had less blood loss (P = 0.022), shorter postoperative hospital stay (P = 0.001), increased anal retention rate (93.1% vs. 72.2%, P = 0.031), and decreased enterostomy rate (10.3% vs. 33.3%, P = 0.037) than those who underwent direct surgery. Cox regression analysis suggested that neoadjuvant therapy and postoperative IM adjuvant therapy improved DFS. Conclusion Rectal GISTs are relatively rare and highly malignant tumors. Postoperative oral IM therapy can improve the DFS and OS of intermediate and high risk patients. In patients with rectal GISTs with diameters > 5 cm, IM neoadjuvant therapy can improve anal retention rate, preserve the structure and function of the organs, reduce enterostomy rate, and improve prognosis.

Abstract Background Fibroblast growth factor23 (FGF23) is elevated in CKD and has been associated with outcomes such as death, cardiovascular (CV) events and progression to Renal Replacement therapy (RRT). The majority of studies have been unable to account for change in FGF23 over time and those which have demonstrate conflicting results. We performed a survival analysis looking at change in c-terminal FGF23 (cFGF23) over time to assess the relative contribution of cFGF23 to these outcomes. Methods We measured cFGF23 on plasma samples from 388 patients with CKD 3-5 who had serial measurements of cFGF23, with a mean of 4.2 samples per individual. We used linear regression analysis to assess the annual rate of change in cFGF23 and assessed the relationship between time-varying cFGF23 and the outcomes in a cox-regression analysis. Results Across our population, median baseline eGFR was 32.3mls/min/1.73m2, median baseline cFGF23 was 162 relative units/ml (RU/ml) (IQR 101-244 RU/mL). Over 70 months (IQR 53-97) median follow-up, 76 (19.6%) patients progressed to RRT, 86 (22.2%) died, and 52 (13.4%) suffered a major non-fatal CV event. On multivariate analysis, longitudinal change in cFGF23 was significantly associated with risk for death and progression to RRT but not non-fatal cardiovascular events. Conclusion In our study, increasing cFGF23 was significantly associated with risk for death and RRT.

538 Background: There are limited data on endocrine therapy benefits for patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-low positive breast cancer (staining 1% to 10% of tumor nuclei by immunohistology). We aimed to compare the effect of short-term 2-3 years versus standard 5 years of adjuvant endocrine therapy on survival outcomes in patients with ER-low positive early breast cancer. Methods: We used data from the prospectively maintained Breast Surgery Database of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center for this propensity-matched analysis. Women with ER-low positive, operable, and unilateral early-stage invasive ductal breast cancer were enrolled in this study. Patients with advanced disease, having received neoadjuvant chemotherapy or ovarian function suppression, or with unknown duration or longer than 5 years of adjuvant endocrine therapy were excluded. Enrolled patients were divided into three groups: received no endocrine therapy; received 2-3 years of endocrine therapy; and received approximately 5 years of endocrine therapy. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS). Multivariate Cox regression analysis and propensity score matching were performed to minimize bias. Hazard ratios (HR) with 95% CIs were calculated. Results: From 2012 to 2017, 634 patients with ER-low positive breast cancer in the database met the inclusion criteria. At a median follow-up of 60 months (interquartile range, 46-74), the 5-year DFS of the whole cohort was 84.9%, with 77.6% for patients who received no endocrine therapy (N = 89), 83.7% for patients who received 2-3 years endocrine treatment (N = 185), and 87.5% for patients who received 5 years endocrine therapy (N = 360). When compared with those receiving no endocrine therapy, patients receiving 5 years treatment was associated with a significantly improved DFS (HR, 0.55; 95% CI 0.32-0.95; P = 0.03); however, there was no significant difference in DFS between patients receiving 2-3 years and 5 years endocrine therapy (HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.48-1.28; P = 0.33). In the multivariate Cox regression analysis of the propensity score-matched samples of 360 patients, the DFS was not significantly better for patients who received 5 years of endocrine therapy than 2-3 years treatment (HR, 0.74; 95% CI 0.41-1.34; P = 0.32). An exploratory analysis of re-biopsy of the recurrence lesions indicated more than half of relapsed disease displayed ER-negative, and less than 5% lesions were proved to be ER ≥10% positive. Conclusions: Our data did not support the necessity of 5 years duration of endocrine therapy for patients with ER-low positive breast cancer. Short-term 2-3 years duration might be an alternative option. Further translational research on identifying endocrine-sensitive cases within ER-low positive patients is needed.

Background & Aims: Limited data are available on the hospitalization rates in population-based studies. Since this is a very important outcome measure, the aim of this study was to analyze prospectively if early hospitalization is associated with the later disease course as well as to determine the prevalence and predictors of hospitalization and re-hospitalization in the population-based ulcerative colitis (UC) inception cohort in the Veszprem province database between 2000 and 2012. Methods: Data of 347 incident UC patients diagnosed between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2010 were analyzed (M/F: 200/147, median age at diagnosis: 36, IQR: 26-50 years, follow-up duration: 7, IQR 4-10 years). Both in- and outpatient records were collected and comprehensively reviewed. Results: Probabilities of first UC-related hospitalization were 28.6%, 53.7% and 66.2% and of first re-hospitalization were 23.7%, 55.8% and 74.6% after 1-, 5- and 10- years of follow-up, respectively. Main UC-related causes for first hospitalization were diagnostic procedures (26.7%), disease activity (22.4%) or UC-related surgery (4.8%), but a significant percentage was unrelated to IBD (44.8%). In Kaplan-Meier and Cox-regression analysis disease extent at diagnosis (HR extensive: 1.79, p=0.02) or at last follow-up (HR: 1.56, p=0.001), need for steroids (HR: 1.98, p<0.001), azathioprine (HR: 1.55, p=0.038) and anti-TNF (HR: 2.28, p<0.001) were associated with the risk of UC-related hospitalization. Early hospitalization was not associated with a specific disease phenotype or outcome; however, 46.2% of all colectomies were performed in the year of diagnosis. Conclusion: Hospitalization and re-hospitalization rates were relatively high in this population-based UC cohort. Early hospitalization was not predictive for the later disease course.

Post Stroke Depression

Background: Depression and anxiety after stroke are common conditions that are likely to be neglected. Abnormal red blood cell (RBC) indices may be associated with neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the association of RBC indices with post-stroke depression (PSD) and poststroke anxiety (PSA) has not been sufficiently investigated. Methods: We aimed to investigate the trajectory of post-stroke depression and anxiety in our follow- up stroke clinic at 1, 3, and 6 months, and the association of RBC indices with these. One hundred and sixty-two patients with a new diagnosis of ischemic stroke were followed up at 1, 3, and 6 months, and underwent Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and the general anxiety disorder 7-item (GAD-7) questionnaire for evaluation of depression and anxiety, respectively. First, we used Kaplan-Meier analysis to investigate the accumulated incidences of post-stroke depression and post-stroke anxiety. Next, to explore the association of RBC indices with psychiatric disorders after an ischemic stroke attack, we adjusted for demographic and vascular risk factors using multivariate Cox regression analysis. Results: Of the 162 patients with new-onset of ischemic stroke, we found the accumulated incidence rates of PSD (1.2%, 17.9%, and 35.8%) and PSA (1.2%, 13.6%, and 15.4%) at 1, 3, and 6 months, respectively. The incident PSD and PSA increased 3 months after a stroke attack. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated independent positive associations between PSD risk and higher mean corpuscular volume (MCV) (OR=1.42, 95% CI=1.16-1.76), older age (OR=2.63, 95% CI=1.16-5.93), and a negative relationship between male sex (OR=0.95, 95% CI=0.91-0.99) and PSA. Conclusion: The risks of PSD and PSA increased substantially 3 months beyond stroke onset. Of the RBC indices, higher MCV, showed an independent positive association with PSD.
