Abstract Study question To assess the long-term (52-week) efficacy and safety of relugolix combination therapy (Relugolix-CT) in the treatment of endometriosis-associated pain. Summary answer Relugolix-CT demonstrated a sustained improvement of endometriosis-associated pain and maintenance of bone mineral density (BMD) over the extension treatment period. It was well tolerated. What is known already Endometriosis is a chronic condition characterized by symptoms of menstrual and non-menstrual pain, and dyspareunia, which have a substantial impact on women’s lives. SPIRIT 1 and 2 were Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of once-daily Relugolix-CT (relugolix 40 mg, estradiol 1 mg, norethindrone acetate 0.5 mg) in premenopausal women (age 18–50 years) with surgically diagnosed endometriosis and moderate-to-severe dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain (NMPP) at baseline. These trials demonstrated a significant improvement of dysmenorrhea, NMPP and dyspareunia in women treated with Relugolix-CT, with a minimal decline in BMD vs placebo over 24 weeks. Study design, size, duration Women who completed the 24-week pivotal studies (SPIRIT 1 and 2 trials) were eligible to enroll in an open-label, single-arm, long-term safety and efficacy extension study for an additional 80 weeks. All women received once-daily oral Relugolix-CT. Analyses were done based on original randomization in pivotal studies: Relugolix-CT, delayed Relugolix-CT (relugolix 40 mg alone for 12 weeks, then Relugolix-CT for 12 weeks), or placebo. Here, 52-week efficacy and safety outcomes are presented. Participants/materials, setting, methods The primary endpoints were the proportion of dysmenorrhea and NMPP responders at Week 52, based on daily Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores (0=no pain, 10=worst pain imaginable). A responder was a woman who achieved a predefined, clinically meaningful reduction from baseline in NRS score with no increase in analgesic use. Secondary efficacy endpoints included change in Endometriosis Health Profile-30 (EHP-30) pain domain scores, and analgesic/opioid use. Safety endpoints included adverse events (AEs) and BMD evaluation. Main results and the role of chance Of 1261 randomized patients, 1044 completed the primary studies; 802 enrolled in the long-term extension and 681 completed 52 weeks of treatment. Baseline demographics and clinical characteristics of the extension population were consistent with those of the original randomized population. Sustained improvement of endometriosis-associated pain was demonstrated with Relugolix-CT through 52 weeks, the proportion of responders for dysmenorrhea was 84.8% and 73.3% for NMPP. NRS least squares (LS) mean scores for dysmenorrhea and NMPP decreased from 7.4 (severe) and 6.0 (moderate) at SPIRIT study baseline to 1.3 (mild) and 2.2 (mild) at Week 52, equating to 82.8% and 62.9% reduction in dysmenorrhea and NMPP, respectively. Mean NRS for dyspareunia decreased from 5.9 (moderate) to 2.4 (mild), demonstrating 60.1% reduction with Relugolix-CT. Daily functioning measured by the EHP-30 pain domain score was improved (–38.1 point) and the majority of women (85.6%) were opioid-free at Week 52. There was no disproportionate increase in the incidence of AEs in the Relugolix-CT group with no new safety signals identified through the 52 weeks. BMD was preserved over the extension period with overall LS mean change from baseline to Week 52 of –0.83% (95% CI: –1.34, –0.32) for lumbar spine in the Relugolix-CT group. Limitations, reasons for caution The study was conducted as an open-label study without a control group over the 28 weeks of the extension period. Wider implications of the findings Relugolix-CT demonstrated a sustained improvement of dysmenorrhea, NMPP, and dyspareunia, and reduced pain-related functional limitations and the need for opioids over 52 weeks in women with moderate-to-severe endometriosis-associated pain. Relugolix-CT was generally well tolerated and associated with minimal BMD loss after treatment initiation followed by BMD maintenance over 52 weeks. Trial registration number NCT03654274

Abstract Low molecular weight heparin is as effective as unfractionated heparin for treatment of venous thromboembolism (VT) in adults, and it has been recently demonstrated that once-daily (q24h) or twice-daily (q12h) enoxaparin (E) administration had no impact on safety (bleeding rate) of efficacy (re-thrombosis rate) in the treatment of acute VT. However, in this setting it is still unclear for children, if enoxaparin should be administered q24h or q12h. In this open label pilot safety study 75 children &gt; the neonatal period, enrolled from two different catchment areas of Germany were treated with E with a target 2–4 h anti Xa activity between 0.4 – 0.8 IU/ml. After the acute thrombotic onset during which E was administered q12h for a median (range) period of 7 (1–14) days, based on the individual decision of the study centres stratification into the study arms once-daily versus twice daily was performed. Enoxaparin was administered in both study centres regardless of age at DVT-onset, thrombus burden, underlying basic diseases or presence of prothrombotic risk factors. No difference was observed between the stratifications performed in the study centres (p=0.5). Median (range) dose administered q24h (n=50) or q12h (n=25) in children with DVT was 1.2 mg/kg (0.5–3.0) respectively. Median (range) treatment duration was 5 months (1–13). Prospectively defined study endpoints were adverse effects, e.g. re-thrombosis, bleeding, and therapy-related death. Median follow-up time was 24 months. No significant differences were found between the two patient groups treated with respect to anti Xa activities, efficacy and safety. Further statistical analysis performed to evaluate the overall differences between q24h and q12h E administration again revealed no significant differences for the study endpoints: Re-thrombosis occurred in two patients each (p=0.6), and a minor subdural bleeding was diagnosed in one patient treated q12h (p=0.4). During the follow-up no major bleeding or therapy-related death was observed. In conclusion, data presented here give evidence that long-term enoxaparin administration within the reported target anti Xa activity for treatment of childhood VT has a good efficacy and safety profile when administered q24h. These data have to be confirmed in a multicentre randomised study.

ObjectivesSB4 (Benepali, Brenzys) is a biosimilar of reference etanercept (ETN). In a randomised, double-blind, 52-week study, SB4 demonstrated comparable efficacy and safety to ETN in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The open-label extension period evaluated long-term efficacy, safety and immunogenicity when continuing SB4 versus switching from ETN to SB4.MethodsIn the randomised, double-blind phase, patients received weekly subcutaneous administration of 50 mg SB4 or ETN with background methotrexate for up to 52 weeks. Patients in the Czech Republic and Poland who completed the 52-week visit were enrolled in the open-label extension period and received SB4 for 48 additional weeks. Efficacy, safety and immunogenicity were assessed up to week 100.ResultsOf 245 patients entering the extension period, 126 continued to receive SB4 (SB4/SB4) and 119 switched to SB4 (ETN/SB4). American College of Rheumatology (ACR) response rates were sustained and comparable between SB4/SB4 and ETN/SB4 with ACR20 response rates at week 100 of 77.9% and 79.1%, respectively. Other efficacy results, including radiographic progression, were also comparable between the groups. After week 52, rates of treatment-emergent adverse events were 47.6% (SB4/SB4) and 48.7% (ETN/SB4); one patient/group developed non-neutralising antidrug antibodies. No cases of active tuberculosis or injection-site reactions were reported during the extension period. One patient (SB4/SB4) died of hepatic cancer.ConclusionsSB4 was effective and well tolerated over 2 years in patients with RA. Efficacy, safety and immunogenicity were comparable between the SB4/SB4 and ETN/SB4 groups, showing no risk associated with switching patients from ETN to SB4.Trial registration numberNCT01895309; 2012-005026-30

Purpose To report 5-year landmark analysis efficacy and safety outcomes in patients with BRAF V600–mutant metastatic melanoma (MM) who received BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib (D) and MEK inhibitor trametinib (T) combination therapy versus D monotherapy in the randomized phase II BRF113220 study part C. Patients and Methods BRAF inhibitor–naive patients with BRAF V600–mutant MM were randomly assigned 1:1:1 to receive D 150 mg twice a day, D 150 mg twice a day plus T 1 mg once daily, or D 150 mg twice a day plus T 2 mg once daily (D + T 150/2). Patients who received D monotherapy could cross over to D + T 150/2 postprogression. Efficacy and safety were analyzed 4 and 5 years after initiation in patients with ≥ 5 years of follow-up. Results As of October 13, 2016, 18 patients who received D + T 150/2 remained in the study (13 [24%] of 54 enrolled at this dose plus five [11%] of 45 initially administered D who crossed over to D + T). With D + T 150/2, overall survival (OS; 4 years, 30%; 5 years, 28%) and progression-free survival (4 and 5 years, both 13%) appeared to stabilize with extended follow-up. Increased OS was observed in patients who received D + T with baseline normal lactate dehydrogenase (5 years, 45%) and normal lactate dehydrogenase with fewer than three organ sites with metastasis (5 years, 51%). With extended follow-up, one additional patient who received D + T 150/2 improved from a partial to a complete response. No new safety signals were observed. Conclusion This 5-year analysis represents the longest follow-up to date with BRAF + MEK inhibitor combination therapy in BRAF V600–mutant MM. Consistent with trends observed in landmark analyses with shorter follow-up, this therapy elicits durable plateaus of long-term OS and progression-free survival that last ≥ 5 years in some patients with MM.
