ANalgesic Efficacy and safety of MOrphiNe versus methoxyflurane in patients with acute myocardial infarction: the rationale and design of the ANEMON-SIRIO 3 study: a multicentre, open-label, phase II, randomised clinical trial

IntroductionThe unfavourable influence of morphine on the pharmacokinetics of ticagrelor resulting in weaker and retarded antiplatelet effect in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has been previously shown. Replacing morphine with methoxyflurane, a potent, non-opioid analgesic agent, that does not weaken or delay the effect of antiplatelet agents may improve the clinical efficacy of treatment of patients with ACS.MethodsThe ANEMON-SIRIO 3 study was designed as a multicentre, open-label, phase II, randomised clinical trial aimed to test the analgesic efficacy and safety of methoxyflurane in patients with ACS. The study population will comprise patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction or non-ST-elevation ACS admitted to the study centres with typical chest pain requiring analgesic treatment. Before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the patients with index ACS will be randomly assigned in 1:1 ratio to receive methoxyflurane administered by inhalation, or to obtain morphine administered intravenously. Analgesic treatment will be followed by 300 mg loading dose of aspirin and 180 mg loading dose of ticagrelor. Patients will be assessed with regard to pain intensity according to the Numeric Pain Rating Scale at baseline, 3 min after study drug administration and immediately after PCI. Moreover, patients will be actively monitored with regard to the occurrence of side effects of evaluated therapies, as well as adverse events that may be related to insufficient platelet inhibition (no-reflow phenomenon assessed immediately after PCI, administration of GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors during PCI, acute stent thrombosis).Ethics and disseminationThe study will be conducted in six Polish clinical centres from the beginning of in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.Trial registration detailsClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04476173.

11526 Background: JMT103 is a novel, fully humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody targeting RANKL, inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. A multicenter, single-arm, open-label, phase Ib/II study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JMT103 in patients (pts) with Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB). Methods: Eligible pts (ECOG: 0-2) were adults with pathologically confirmed unresectable GCTB or their planned surgery is associated with severe morbidity. Pts with active dental or jaw condition requiring oral surgery, other anti-tumor therapies, anti-RANKL antibody or concurrent use of bisphosphonates were excluded. 2 mg/kg JMT103 was administrated subcutaneously every 4 weeks with a loading dose on days 8 and day 15 of the first 4 week of therapy. The primary endpoint was tumor response, defined as elimination of at least 90% giant cells or objective response of the target lesion assessed by radiologic imaging as per Modified Inverse Choi density/size (ICDS) or the Modified European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) criteria within 12 weeks. Secondary endpoints included safety profile, change of pain score using Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form, and suppression of bone-resorption biomarkers. Results: 38 pts (14 males) were enrolled between June 3 and December 24, 2020. The median age was 31 years (range 18-57). Lesions sites included lower extremities (39.5%), upper extremities (31.6%), spine (21.1%) and pelvis (13.2%). Among 32 pts with at least 1 efficacy evaluation within 12 weeks, 26 (81.3%, 95% CI: 63.6-92.8) had a tumor response by at least one response criteria. All 7 pts who underwent histological assessments had a tumor response. 25 of 32 pts assessed by radiology had a tumor response. As per ICDS criteria, 23 of 32 (71.9%) had a response; as per EORTC criteria, 15 of 17 (88.2%) had a response. 21 of 26 (80.8%) pts who complained of pain at baseline experienced reduced pain during the treatment. The median reductions in bone-resorption biomarkers were 71.8% (IQR 67.7-82.4) for uNTx/Cr (p < 0.001) and 81.4% (IQR 68.3-84.7) for sCTx (p < 0.001) at day 8. Of all 38 pts who were included in safety analyses, treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 14 pts. The most common TRAEs were hypophosphatemia (18.4%), hypocalcemia (7.9%) and blood bilirubin increased (7.9%). 1 patient (2.6%) was reported a grade 3 AE but it was not related to the treatment; other AEs were grade 1–2. Conclusions: JMT103 demonstrated encouraging anti-tumor efficacy and manageable safety profile in pts with unresectable GCTB or at high risk of severe morbidity after surgery. Clinical trial information: NCT04255576.

Abstract BACKGROUND Hypophysectomy performed by craniotomy or percutaneous techniques leads to complete pain relief in more than 70% to 80% of cases for opioid refractory cancer pain. Radiosurgery could be an interesting alternative approach to reduce complications. OBJECTIVE To assess the analgesic efficacy compared with standard of care is the primary goal. The secondary objectives are to assess ophthalmic and endocrine tolerance, drug consumption, quality of life, and mechanisms of analgesic action. METHODS The trial is multicenter, randomized, prospective, and open-label with 2 parallel groups. This concerns patients in palliative care suffering from nociceptive or mixed cancer pain, refractory to standard opioid therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to the control group receiving standards of care for pain according to recommendations, or to the experimental group receiving a pituitary GammaKnife (Elekta, Stockholm, Sweden) radiosurgery (160 Gy delivered in pituitary gland) associated with standards of care. Evaluation assessments will be taken at baseline, day0, day4, day7, day14, day28, day45, month3, and month6. EXPECTED OUTCOMES We could expect pain improvement in 70% to 90% of cases at day4. In addition we will assess the safety of pituitary radiosurgery in a vulnerable population. The secondary endpoints could show decay of opioid consumption, good patient satisfaction, and improvement of the quality of life. DISCUSSION The design of this study is potentially the most appropriate to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of radiosurgery for this new indication. New recommendations could be obtained in order to improve pain relief and quality of life.
