RESUMO
The Ouest Data Hub (ODH) a project lead by GCS HUGO which is a cooperation group of University Hospitals in the French Grand Ouest region represents a groundbreaking initiative in this territory, advancing health data sharing and reuse to support research driven by real-world health data. Central to its structure are the Clinical Data Warehouses (CDWs) and Clinical Data Centers (CDCs), essential for analytics and as the linchpin of the ODH's status as an interregional Learning Health System. Aimed at fostering innovation and research, the ODH's collaborative and multi-institutional model effectively utilizes both local and shared resources. Yet, the path is not without challenges, especially in data quality and interoperability, where ongoing harmonization and standard adherence are critical. In 2023, this facilitated access to extensive health data from over 9.3 million patient records, demonstrating the ODH's capacity for both monocentric and multicentric research across various clinical fields, in close collaboration with physicians. The integration of healthcare professionals is crucial, ensuring data's clinical relevance and guiding accurate interpretations. Future expansions of the ODH to new hospitals and data types promise to enhance its model further, already inspiring similar frameworks across France. This scalable model for health data ecosystems showcases the ODH's potential as a foundation for national and supranational data sharing efforts.

In controlled phase II trials, major prognostic factors need to be well balanced between arms. The main procedures used are SPBR (Stratified Permuted Block Randomization) and minimization. First, we provide a systematic review of the treatment allocation procedure used in gastrointestinal oncology controlled phase II trials published in 2019. Second, we performed simulations using data from six phase II studies to measure the impacts of imbalances and bias on the efficacy estimations. From the 40 articles analyzed, all mentioned randomization in both the title and abstract, the median number of patients included was 109, and 77.5% were multicenter. Of the 27 studies that reported at least one stratification variable, 10 included the center as a stratification variable, 10 used minimization, 9 used SBR, and 8 were unspecified. In real data studies, the imbalance increased with the number of centers. The total and marginal imbalances were higher with SBR than with minimization, and the difference increased with the number of centers. The efficiency estimates per arm were close to the original trial estimate in both procedures. Minimization is often used in cases of numerous centers and guarantees better similarity between arms for stratification variables for total and marginal imbalances in phase II trials.

BACKGROUND: In women, ovarian cancer is the eighth most frequent cancer in incidence and mortality. It is often diagnosed at advanced stages; relapses are frequent, with a poor prognosis. When platinum resistant, subsequent lines of chemotherapy are of limited effect and often poorly tolerated, leading to quality of life deterioration. Various studies suggest a hormonal role in ovarian carcinogenesis, with a rationale for endocrine therapy in these cancers. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective study assessed the use of endocrine treatment for high-grade ovarian epithelial carcinomas treated between 2010 and 2020. RESULTS: Eighty-one patients with ovarian cancers were included. The median duration of platinum sensitivity was 29 months. We observed a 35% disease control rate with endocrine therapy, and 10% reported symptom improvement. For 19 patients (23.5%), the disease was stabilized for more than 6 months. Median overall survival from diagnosis was 62.6 months. Regarding endocrine therapy predictive factors of response, in a multivariate analysis, 3 factors were statistically significant in favoring progression-free survival: platinum sensitivity (Pâ =â .021), an R0 surgical resection (Pâ =â .020), and the indication for hormone therapy being maintenance therapy (Pâ =â .002). CONCLUSION: This study shows real-life data on endocrine therapy in ovarian cancer. As it is a low-cost treatment with many advantages such as its oral administration and its safety, it may be an option to consider. A perspective lies in the search for cofactors to aim as future therapeutic targets to improve the effectiveness of hormone treatment by means of combination therapy.

Importance: Little is known regarding the outcomes associated with tucatinib combined with trastuzumab and capecitabine (TTC) after trastuzumab-deruxtecan exposure among patients with ERBB2 (previously HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Objective: To investigate outcomes following TTC treatment in patients with ERBB2-positive MBC who had previously received trastuzumab-deruxtecan. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study included all patients with MBC who were treated in 12 French comprehensive cancer centers between August 1, 2020, and December 31, 2022. Exposure: Tucatinib combined with trastuzumab and capecitabine administered at the recommended dose. Main Outcomes and Measures: Clinical end points included progression-free survival (PFS), time to next treatment (TTNT), overall survival (OS), and overall response rate (ORR). Results: A total of 101 patients with MBC were included (median age, 56 [range, 31-85] years). The median number of prior treatment lines for metastatic disease at TTC treatment initiation was 4 (range, 2-15), including 82 patients (81.2%) with previous trastuzumab and/or pertuzumab and 94 (93.1%) with previous ado-trastuzumab-emtansine) exposure. The median duration of trastuzumab-deruxtecan treatment was 8.9 (range, 1.4-25.8) months, and 82 patients (81.2%) had disease progression during trastuzumab-deruxtecan treatment, whereas 18 (17.8%) had stopped trastuzumab-deruxtecan for toxic effects and 1 (1.0%) for other reasons. Tucatinib combined with trastuzumab and capecitabine was provided as a third- or fourth-line treatment in 37 patients (36.6%) and was the immediate treatment after trastuzumab-deruxtecan in 86 (85.1%). With a median follow-up of 11.6 (95% CI, 10.5-13.4) months, 76 of 101 patients (75.2%) stopped TTC treatment due to disease progression. The median PFS was 4.7 (95% CI, 3.9-5.6) months; median TTNT, 5.2 (95% CI, 4.5-7.0) months; and median OS, 13.4 (95% CI, 11.1 to not reached [NR]) months. Patients who received TTC immediately after trastuzumab-deruxtecan had a median PFS of 5.0 (95% CI, 4.2-6.0) months; median TTNT of 5.5 (95% CI, 4.8-7.2) months, and median OS of 13.4 (95% CI, 11.9-NR) months. Those who received TTC due to trastuzumab-deruxtecan toxicity-related discontinuation had a median PFS of 7.3 (95% CI, 3.0-NR) months. Best ORR was 29 of 89 patients (32.6%). Sixteen patients with active brain metastasis had a median PFS of 4.7 (95% CI, 3.0-7.3) months, median TTNT of 5.6 (95% CI, 4.4 to NR), and median OS of 12.4 (95% CI, 8.3-NR) months. Conclusions and Relevance: In this study, TTC therapy was associated with clinically meaningful outcomes in patients with ERBB2-positive MBC after previous trastuzumab-deruxtecan treatment, including those with brain metastases. Prospective data on optimal drug sequencing in this rapidly changing therapeutic landscape are needed.

BACKGROUND: Real-world data (RWD) related to the health status and care of cancer patients reflect the ongoing medical practice, and their analysis yields essential real-world evidence. Advanced information technologies are vital for their collection, qualification, and reuse in research projects. METHODS: UNICANCER, the French federation of comprehensive cancer centres, has innovated a unique research network: Consore. This potent federated tool enables the analysis of data from millions of cancer patients across eleven French hospitals. RESULTS: Currently operational within eleven French cancer centres, Consore employs natural language processing to structure the therapeutic management data of approximately 1.3 million cancer patients. These data originate from their electronic medical records, encompassing about 65 million medical records. Thanks to the structured data, which are harmonized within a common data model, and its federated search tool, Consore can create patient cohorts based on patient or tumor characteristics, and treatment modalities. This ability to derive larger cohorts is particularly attractive when studying rare cancers. CONCLUSIONS: Consore serves as a tremendous data mining instrument that propels French cancer centres into the big data era. With its federated technical architecture and unique shared data model, Consore facilitates compliance with regulations and acceleration of cancer research projects.
