ObjectiveRecurrent/advanced endometrial carcinoma carries a poor prognosis. Chemotherapy usually consists of cisplatin/doxorubicin and paclitaxel or the doublet of carboplatin and paclitaxel.We report on final results of the Austrian phase 2 AGO trial of nonpegylated doxorubicin citrate and carboplatin in 39 patients with primary advanced or relapsed endometrial cancer. The main primary end point is response rate, and the main secondary end point is feasibility.MethodsThirty-nine patients received 60 mg/m2nonpegylated doxorubicin citrate and carboplatin (area under the curve, 5) every 3 weeks for 6 to 9 cycles or until progression. Best response during therapy, progression-free survival, and the toxicity profile were recorded.ResultsThirteen patients (33%) had primary advanced disease, and 26 patients (67%) had recurrent disease. Seventy-five percent of the tumors were adenocarcinomas, 15% were serous carcinomas, and 5% were clear cell and mixed müllerian carcinomas. We observed 1 complete response (3%) and 16 partial responses (41%) in the intention-to-treat population. The median progression-free survival was 7.2 months, and the median overall survival was 14.7 months. Overall, 177 cycles were administered; the mean number of cycles per patient was 4.5. Ten percent of patients received 9 cycles of chemotherapy, and 44% of patients received 6 cycles of chemotherapy. Grade 3/4 neutropenia occurred in 17%, grade 3/4 anemia in 5%, and grade 3/4 thrombopenia in 12% of the cycles. In 6% of the cycles, febrile neutropenia was noticed. Grade 3/4 nausea was seen in 5% of cycles. One patient (3%) experienced cardiac toxicity and had a reduction in the left ventricular ejection fraction to below 50%.ConclusionsThe reported combination demonstrates considerable activity and should be evaluated further.

Abstract Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder. The anti–interleukin 6 (IL-6) therapy siltuximab is not available everywhere, and is not effective for over one-half of patients. Alternative treatment approaches are urgently needed. In the first iMCD clinical trial directed against a target other than IL-6 signaling, we investigated a thalidomide-cyclophosphamide-prednisone (TCP) regimen in newly diagnosed iMCD patients. This single-center, single-arm, phase 2 study enrolled 25 newly diagnosed iMCD patients between June 2015 and June 2018. The TCP regimen (thalidomide 100 mg daily for 2 years; oral cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2 weekly for 1 year; prednisone 1 mg/kg twice a week for 1 year) was administered for 2 years or until treatment failure. The primary end point was durable tumor and symptomatic response for at least 24 weeks. Twelve patients (48%) achieved the primary end point with no relapse, 3 patients (12%) demonstrated stable disease, and 10 patients (40%) were evaluated as treatment failure. Even when considering all patients, there were significant (P < .05) improvements in median symptom score, IL-6 level, hemoglobin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, albumin, and immunoglobulin G. Among responders, the median levels of all evaluated parameters significantly improved, to the normal range, after treatment. The regimen was well tolerated. One patient died of pulmonary infection and 1 patient had a grade 3 adverse event (rash); 2 patients died following disease progression. Estimated 1-year progression-free survival and overall survival were 60% and 88%, respectively. The TCP regimen is an effective and safe treatment of newly diagnosed iMCD patients, particularly when siltuximab is unavailable. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03043105.

5548 Background: PLD activity in platinum-resistant OC is modest. B, with its activity in platinum(Plat)-sensitive and Plat-resistant patients (pts), has not been combined with PLD. PLD intratumoral concentrations, if affected by B, might be reflected in PLD PK. This phase II study of PLD + B was started in 2007 to accrue 48 pts, unless 4 serious (> grade 3) adverse events (AEs) supervened. Methods: Improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 m from 25 to 40% at 6 m in Plat-resistant OC is primary endpoint. PK of PLD alone at 1h, d 7 and d 21 (cycle 1) vs with B (cycle 2), safety, and response rates (RECIST and CA125 criteria) were secondary endpoints. Dosing: PLD 30 mg/m2 followed by B 15 mg/kg on cycles 2–7 (with option to continue) d 1 every 3 w. Pts recurring within 6 m of platinum-based treatment for OC after < 3 prior regimens (but no PLD or B) were eligible. Exclusions: bowel obstruction, prior perforation, uncontrolled hypertension, or vascular disease. Hematologic, mucocutaneous and renal toxicities were evaluated prior to each cycle, MUGA scans every third cycle; disease status by CA125 and/or RECIST every third cycle. Results: 21 of 24 pts enrolled to date are evaluable. Median age is 65, range 52–83; most had 2 prior chemotherapy regimens. Median 6 (range 3–12) cycles were given with 6 off study with progression at 3–7 cycles. RECIST and CA125 responses are under review; in 11 pts with baseline CA125 of > 40 IU/mL, median increase was 31% by cycle 2; later falling to -57%. AEs did not exceed grade 3; hand-foot syndrome led to PLD dose reduction in 8 pts (33%); asymptomatic decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >10% in 3 pts were noted, with treatment discontinuation in 1. The mean (±SEM) secondary PK parameter estimates for Cmax, AUC, and elimination half life were 4.5 ± 0.5 ug/mL, 651.7 ± 61 ug/mL x h, and 93.3 ± 19.7 h, respectively. Conclusions: Cycles 1 and 2 PLD PK do not differ. PLD + B is tolerable with PLD dose modifications. Declines in LVEF in 1 institution have uncertain causality. Midway into the trial, safety and time on study encourage completion for study primary endpoint. [Table: see text]

Baseline Characteristics

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to analyse baseline characteristics and outcome of patients with heart failure and mid-range left ventricular ejection fraction (HFmrEF, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 40%–49%) and the effect of 1-year change in LVEF in this group.SettingMulticentre prospective observational study of ambulatory patients with HF followed up at four university hospitals with dedicated HF units.ParticipantsFourteen per cent (n=504) of the 3580 patients included had HFmrEF.InterventionsBaseline characteristics, 1-year LVEF and outcomes were collected. All-cause death, HF hospitalisation and the composite end-point were the primary outcomes.ResultsMedian follow-up was 3.66 (1.69–6.04) years. All-cause death, HF hospitalisation and the composite end-point were 47%, 35% and 59%, respectively. Outcomes were worse in HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) (LVEF>50%), without differences between HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) (LVEF<40%) and HFmrEF (all-cause mortality 52.6% vs 45.8% and 43.8%, respectively, P=0.001). After multivariable Cox regression analyses, no differences in all-cause death and the composite end-point were seen between the three groups. HF hospitalisation and cardiovascular death were not statistically different between patients with HFmrEF and HFrEF. At 1-year follow-up, 62% of patients with HFmrEF had LVEF measured: 24% had LVEF<40%, 43% maintained LVEF 40%–49% and 33% had LVEF>50%. While change in LVEF as continuous variable was not associated with better outcomes, those patients who evolved from HFmrEF to HFpEF did have a better outcome. Those who remained in the HFmrEF and HFrEF groups had higher all-cause mortality after adjustment for age, sex and baseline LVEF (HR 1.96 (95% CI 1.08 to 3.54, P=0.027) and HR 2.01 (95% CI 1.04 to 3.86, P=0.037), respectively).ConclusionsPatients with HFmrEF have a clinical profile in-between HFpEF and HFrEF, without differences in all-cause mortality and the composite end-point between the three groups. At 1 year, patients with HFmrEF exhibited the greatest variability in LVEF and this change was associated with survival.

Introduction: It is unknown how often patients with very advanced left ventricular (LV) dilation at initial presentation demonstrate meaningful recovery with medical therapy. Understanding short term treatment outcomes may impact medical decision making and counseling. Hypothesis: Patients with left ventricular end diastolic internal diameter (LVEDD) > 6.5cm will be less likely to recover left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as compared to patients with LVEDD < 6.5cm. Methods: Patients were retrospectively identified by a database search of echocardiogram studies obtained at the University of Chicago between 2008-2018. Manual review was performed to ensure new diagnosis of systolic dysfunction with LVEF ≤ 35% and follow up echocardiogram study within 3 to 9 months of index study. LVEDD was determined from parasternal long axis views per routine. LVEF recovery was specified as LVEF > 35%. Chart review was done to assess for composite death, hospice, transplant, left ventricular assist device, and sustained ventricular tachycardia. Chi-square, multivariable logistic regression, and Kaplan-Meier survival were used for analysis. Results: Out of 100 patients included for analysis, mean age was 59.7 years, 41 were female and 82 were African American. 17.7% of patients’ with LVEDD > 6.5 cm had LVEF recovery compared to 53.0% of patients’ with LVEDD ≤ 6.5 cm (p = 0.008). LVEDD > 6.5 cm was associated with less LVEF recovery even when adjusted for age, gender, hypertension, and diabetes (adjusted odds ratio 0.18, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.65). LVEDD > 6.5cm was associated with worse event free survival (p = 0.004) with a median follow-up time of 2.4 years. Conclusions: An LVEDD of > 6.5cm is associated with diminished LVEF recovery and event free survival when compared to those patients with an LVEDD ≤ 6.5cm. Delaying consideration for advanced therapies and device based therapies in hopes of recovery may be inappropriate for many such patients.

ObjectiveAdvanced/metastatic or recurrent endometrial cancer has a poor prognosis. Malignant endometrial tissue has high steroid sulphatase (STS) activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate STS as a therapeutic target in patients with endometrial cancer.MethodsThis was a phase 2, multicenter, international, open-label, randomized (1:1), 2-arm study of the STS inhibitor oral irosustat 40 mg/d versus oral megestrol acetate 160 mg/d in women with advanced/metastatic or recurrent estrogen receptor–positive endometrial cancer. The primary end point was the proportion of patients without progression or death 6 months after start of treatment. Secondary end points included progression-free survival, time to progression, overall survival, and safety.ResultsSeventy-one patients were treated (36 with irosustat, 35 with megestrol acetate). The study was prematurely stopped after futility analysis. Overall, 36.1% and 54.1% of patients receiving irosustat or megestrol acetate had not progressed or died at 6 months, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between irosustat and megestrol acetate in response and overall survival rates. Irosustat patients had a median progression-free survival of 16 weeks (90% confidence interval, 9.0–31.4) versus 40 weeks (90% confidence interval, 16.3–64.0) in megestrol acetate patients. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 20 (55.6%) and 13 (37.1%) patients receiving irosustat or megestrol, respectively. Most adverse events in both groups were grade 1 or 2.ConclusionsAlthough irosustat monotherapy did not attain a level of activity sufficient for further development in patients with advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer, this study confirms the activity of hormonal treatment (megestrol acetate) for this indication.

Malignant Ventricular Arrhythmia

Background: Truncating variants in the TTN gene (TTNtv) are the commonest cause of heritable dilated cardiomyopathy. This study aimed to study the phenotypes and outcomes of TTNtv carriers. Methods: Five hundred thirty-seven individuals (61% men; 317 probands) with TTNtv were recruited in 14 centers (372 [69%] with baseline left ventricular systolic dysfunction [LVSD]). Baseline and longitudinal clinical data were obtained. The primary end point was a composite of malignant ventricular arrhythmia and end-stage heart failure. The secondary end point was left ventricular reverse remodeling (left ventricular ejection fraction increase by ≥10% or normalization to ≥50%). Results: Median follow-up was 49 (18–105) months. Men developed LVSD more frequently and earlier than women (45±14 versus 49±16 years, respectively; P =0.04). By final evaluation, 31%, 45%, and 56% had atrial fibrillation, frequent ventricular ectopy, and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, respectively. Seventy-six (14.2%) individuals reached the primary end point (52 [68%] end-stage heart failure events, 24 [32%] malignant ventricular arrhythmia events). Malignant ventricular arrhythmia end points most commonly occurred in patients with severe LVSD. Male sex (hazard ratio, 1.89 [95% CI, 1.04–3.44]; P =0.04) and left ventricular ejection fraction (per 10% decrement from left ventricular ejection fraction, 50%; hazard ratio, 1.63 [95% CI, 1.30–2.04]; P <0.001) were independent predictors of the primary end point. Two hundred seven of 300 (69%) patients with LVSD had evidence of left ventricular reverse remodeling. In a subgroup of 29 of 74 (39%) patients with initial left ventricular reverse remodeling, there was a subsequent left ventricular ejection fraction decrement. TTNtv location was not associated with statistically significant differences in baseline clinical characteristics, left ventricular reverse remodeling, or outcomes on multivariable analysis ( P =0.07). Conclusions: TTNtv is characterized by frequent arrhythmia, but malignant ventricular arrhythmias are most commonly associated with severe LVSD. Male sex and LVSD are independent predictors of outcomes. Mutation location does not impact clinical phenotype or outcomes.

Abstract Aims The presence of low-voltage areas (LVAs) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) reflects left atrial (LA) electroanatomical substrate, which is essential for individualized AF management. However, echocardiographic anteroposterior LA diameter included into previous LVAs prediction scores does not mirror LA size accurately and impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LV-EF) is not directly associated with atrial myopathy. Therefore, we aimed to compare a modified (m)APPLE score, which included LA volume (LAV) and LA emptying fraction (LA-EF) with the regular APPLE score for the prediction of LVAs. Methods and results In patients undergoing first AF catheter ablation, LVAs were determined peri-interventionally using high-density maps and defined as signal amplitude &lt;0.5 mV. All patients underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging before intervention. The APPLE (one point for Age ≥ 65 years, Persistent AF, imPaired eGFR ≤ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, LA diameter ≥ 43 mm, and LVEF &lt; 50%) and (m)APPLE (last two variables changed by LAV ≥ 39 mL/m2, and LA-EF &lt; 31%) scores were calculated at baseline. The study population included 219 patients [median age 65 (interquartile range 57–72) years, 41% females, 59% persistent AF, 25% LVAs]. Both scores were significantly associated with LVAs [OR 1.817, 95% CI 1.376–2.399 for APPLE and 2.288, 95% CI 1.650–3.172 for (m)APPLE]. Using receiver operating characteristic curves analysis, the (m)APPLE score [area under the curve (AUC) 0.779, 95% CI 0.702–0.855] showed better LVAs prediction than the APPLE score (AUC 0.704, 95% CI 0.623–0.784), however, without statistically significant difference (P = 0.233). Conclusion The modified (m)APPLE score demonstrated good prognostic value for LVAs prediction and was comparable with the regular APPLE score.

Aims and background This prospective, phase II study aimed to test the efficacy of concurrent 5-fluorouracil, mitomycin C and radiation, with or without brachytherapy, on the clinical outcome of a series of recurrent endometrial cancer patients and to determine the prognostic impact of a subset of factors. Methods Thirty patients with locally recurrent, nonmetastatic endometrial cancer received external beam radiation (4-week split course: 23.4 + 23.4 Gy) plus two courses of concomitant chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil, 96-h continous infusion, days 1-4; 1 g/m2/day; mitomycin C, 10 mg/m2, bolus iv, day 1). Nineteen patients (63.3%) underwent endocavitary, low-dose brachytherapy boost (20-25 Gy); eight patients (26.7%) received external beam radiation boost (14-20 Gy). Results Eleven complete responses (36.7%), 11 partial responses (36.7%), 6 disease stabilizations (20.0%) and 2 progressions (6.6%) were observed. After a median follow-up of 27 months (range, 1-108), overall actuarial 3-year survival, progression-free survival and local progression-free survival were 46.8%, 35.2% and 41.2%, respectively. Two patients (6.7%) experienced hematological grade 3 toxicity. Two patients (6.7%) had grade 3 intestinal toxicity. Severe late toxicity was infrequent, only 3 patients showing severe vaginal stenosis (10.0%). A clinical score of 0 to 1 was assigned to each patient on the basis of the absence (score = 0) or presence (score = 1) of any of the following prognostic factors: time between surgery and recurrence shorter than 12 months, pelvic wall site of recurrence, positive lymph nodes, hemoglobin <11 g/dL. With this device, it was clear that patients with a low score had a significantly better outcome (clinical remission: 77.2% of patients with a score <2 vs 25.0% of patients with a score ≥2, P = 0.009), better local control of the disease (50.2% vs. 0 at 3 years, P = 0.014,) and better overall survival (65.8% vs 0 at 3 years, P = 0.003). Conclusions Our data suggest that this combined modality therapy was relatively well tolerated and resulted in reasonable local control and survival. The scoring system proved to be helpful in identifying patients with the best chance of benefiting from the treatment.

Aim: Regorafenib may be active in different cancer types. This Phase II trial included patients with various refractory cancer types treated with regorafenib. Here, we report the results of the pancreatic adenocarcinoma cohort. Methods: The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 8 weeks; further investigation of regorafenib would be warranted with a PFS rate ≥50%. Results: A total of 20 patients were enrolled. The best response was stable disease in four patients (20%). The 8-week PFS rate was 25% with a median PFS of 1.7 months (95% CI: 1.5–2.0). A total of 13 patients (65%) experienced grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events. Conclusion: The study did not meet its primary end point. Further investigation of regorafenib monotherapy in this setting is not recommended. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT02307500

Abstract Introduction In patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) it is known that malnutrition, low BMI, inflammation and so on are prognostic factors. But, it is unclear whether left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) affects prognosis of CLI patients. So we investigated that LVEF affects prognosis of CLI patients. Methods From July 2015 to July 2016, 371 consecutive peripheral artery disease patients who performed endovascular treatment (EVT) were enrolled in I-PAD registry. 179 of them were patients with CLI. We could conduct follow up survey about 126 (age 75.5±11.1, men 63.5%) and divided two groups according to their LVEF (group with LVEF≤40%, n=13, group without LVEF≤40%, n=113). The primary end point was major adverse limb events (MALE: TLR, TVR, major amputations) and secondary end point was all-cause death. Results The median follow-up period was 11.5±6.7 months. The 18 months MALE rate was significant higher in the group with low LVEF than group without low LVEF (76.9% vs 37.2% p<0.05). The 18months all-cause death tended to be higher in the group with low LVEF, however there was not statistical significance in the two groups (53.8% vs 24.8% p=0.09). Conclusion LVEF was associated with MALE in patients with CLI.
