RESUMO
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of liposomal bupivacaine in pediatric patients undergoing spine or cardiac surgery. DESIGN: Multicenter, open-label, phase 3, randomized trial (PLAY; NCT03682302). SETTING: Operating room. PATIENTS: Two separate age groups were evaluated (age group 1: patients 12 to <17 years undergoing spine surgery; age group 2: patients 6 to <12 years undergoing spine or cardiac surgery). INTERVENTION: Randomized allocation of liposomal bupivacaine 4 mg/kg or bupivacaine hydrochloride (HCl) 2 mg/kg via local infiltration at the end of spine surgery (age group 1); liposomal bupivacaine 4 mg/kg via local infiltration at the end of spine or cardiac surgery (age group 2). MEASUREMENTS: The primary and secondary objectives were to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (eg, maximum plasma bupivacaine concentrations [Cmax], time to Cmax) and safety of liposomal bupivacaine, respectively. MAIN RESULTS: Baseline characteristics were comparable across groups. Mean Cmax after liposomal bupivacaine administration was lower versus bupivacaine HCl in age group 1 (357 vs 564 ng/mL); mean Cmax in age group 2 was 320 and 447 ng/mL for spine and cardiac surgery, respectively. Median time to Cmax of liposomal bupivacaine occurred later with cardiac surgery versus spine surgery (22.7 vs 7.4 h). In age group 1, the incidence of adverse events (AEs) was comparable between liposomal bupivacaine (61% [19/31]) and bupivacaine HCl (73% [22/30]). In age group 2, 100% (5/5) and 31% (9/29) of patients undergoing spine and cardiac surgery experienced AEs, respectively. AEs were generally mild or moderate, with no discontinuations due to AEs or deaths. CONCLUSIONS: Plasma bupivacaine levels following local infiltration with liposomal bupivacaine remained below the toxic threshold in adults (~2000-4000 ng/mL) across age groups and procedures. AEs were mild to moderate, supporting the safety of liposomal bupivacaine in pediatric patients undergoing spine or cardiac surgery.

BACKGROUND: Bladder-sparing trimodality therapy (TMT) is an alternative to radical cystectomy (RC) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), and biomarkers to inform therapy selection are needed. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prognostic value of immune and stromal signatures in MIBC treated with TMT. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: We used a clinical-grade platform to perform transcriptome-wide gene expression profiling of primary tumors from 136 MIBC patients treated with TMT at a single institution. We observed 60 overall survival events at 5yr, and median follow-up time for patients without an event was 5.0yr (interquartile range 3.1, 5.0). Expression data from another cohort of 223 MIBC patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and RC were also analyzed. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Molecular subtype, immune, and stromal signatures were evaluated for associations with disease-specific survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS) in TMT patients, and in patients treated with NAC and RC. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Gene expression profiling of TMT cases identified luminal (N=40), luminal-infiltrated (N=26), basal (N=54), and claudin-low (N=16) subtypes. Signatures of T-cell activation and interferon gamma signaling were associated with improved DSS in the TMT cohort (hazard ratio 0.30 [0.14-0.65], p=0.002 for T cells), but not in the NAC and RC cohort. Conversely, a stromal signature was associated with worse DSS in the NAC and RC cohort (p=0.006), but not in the TMT cohort. This study is limited by its retrospective nature. CONCLUSIONS: Higher immune infiltration in MIBC is associated with improved DSS after TMT, whereas higher stromal infiltration is associated with shorter DSS after NAC and RC. Additional studies should be conducted to determine whether gene expression profiling can predict treatment response. PATIENT SUMMARY: We used gene expression profiling to study the association between tumor microenvironment and outcomes following bladder preservation therapy for invasive bladder cancer. We found that outcomes varied with immune and stromal signatures within the tumor. We conclude that gene expression profiling has potential to guide treatment decisions in bladder cancer.

PURPOSE: After cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), 60% of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) still have residual invasive disease at radical cystectomy. The NAC-induced biological alterations in these cisplatin-resistant tumors remain largely unstudied. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Radical cystectomy samples were available for gene expression analysis from 133 patients with residual invasive disease after cisplatin-based NAC, of whom 116 had matched pre-NAC samples. Unsupervised consensus clustering (CC) was performed and the consensus clusters were investigated for their biological and clinical characteristics. Hematoxylin & Eosin and IHC on tissue microarrays were used to confirm tissue sampling and gene expression analysis. RESULTS: Established molecular subtyping models proved to be inconsistent in their classification of the post-NAC samples. Unsupervised CC revealed four distinct consensus clusters. The CC1-Basal and CC2-Luminal subtypes expressed genes consistent with a basal and a luminal phenotype, respectively, and were similar to the corresponding established pretreatment molecular subtypes. The CC3-Immune subtype had the highest immune activity, including T-cell infiltration and checkpoint molecule expression, but lacked both basal and luminal markers. The CC4-Scar-like subtype expressed genes associated with wound healing/scarring, although the proportion of tumor cell content in this subtype did not differ from the other subtypes. Patients with CC4-Scar-like tumors had the most favorable prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: This study expands our knowledge on MIBC not responding to cisplatin by suggesting molecular subtypes to understand the biology of these tumors. Although these molecular subtypes imply consequences for adjuvant treatments, this ultimately needs to be tested in clinical trials.

BACKGROUND: The consequences of low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in high-grade (Gleason 8-10) prostate cancer are unknown. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical implications and genomic features of low-PSA, high-grade disease. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This was a retrospective study of clinical data for 494 793 patients from the National Cancer Data Base and 136 113 patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program with cT1-4N0M0 prostate cancer (median follow-up 48.9 and 25.0 mo, respectively), and genomic data for 4960 patients from the Decipher Genomic Resource Information Database. Data were collected for 2004-2017. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Multivariable Fine-Gray and Cox regressions were used to analyze prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM) and all-cause mortality, respectively. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: For Gleason 8-10 disease, using PSA 4.1-10.0ng/ml (n=38 719) as referent, the distribution of PCSM by PSA was U-shaped, with an adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) of 2.70 for PSA ≤2.5ng/ml (n=3862, p<0.001) versus 1.97, 1.36, and 2.56 for PSA of 2.6-4.0 (n=4199), 10.1-20.0 (n=17 372), and >20.0ng/ml (n=16 114), respectively. By contrast, the distribution of PCSM by PSA was linear for Gleason ≤7 (using PSA 4.1-10.0ng/ml as the referent, n=359 898), with an AHR of 0.41 (p=0.13) for PSA ≤2.5ng/ml (n=37 812) versus 1.38, 2.28, and 4.61 for PSA of 2.6-4.0 (n=54 152), 10.1-20.0 (n=63 319), and >20.0ng/ml (n=35 459), respectively (pinteraction<0.001). Gleason 8-10, PSA ≤2.5ng/ml disease had a significantly higher PCSM than standard high-risk/very high-risk disease with PSA >2.5ng/ml (AHR 2.15, p=0.002; 47-mo PCSM 14% vs 4.9%). Among Gleason 8-10 patients treated with radiotherapy, androgen deprivation therapy was associated with a survival benefit for PSA >2.5ng/ml (AHR 0.87; p<0.001) but not ≤2.5ng/ml (AHR 1.36; p=0.084; pinteraction=0.021). For Gleason 8-10 tumors, PSA ≤2.5ng/ml was associated with higher expression of neuroendocrine/small-cell markers compared to >2.5ng/ml (p=0.046), with no such relationship for Gleason ≤7 disease. CONCLUSIONS: Low-PSA, high-grade prostate cancer has very high risk for PCSM, potentially responds poorly to androgen deprivation therapy, and is associated with neuroendocrine genomic features. PATIENT SUMMARY: In this study, we found that low-prostate-specific antigen, high-grade prostate cancer has a very high risk for prostate cancer death, may not respond well to androgen deprivation therapy, and is associated with neuroendocrine genomic features. These findings suggest that current nomograms and treatment paradigms may need modification.

BACKGROUND: An early report on the molecular subtyping of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) by gene expression suggested that response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) varies by subtype. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the ability of molecular subtypes to predict pathological downstaging and survival after NAC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Whole transcriptome profiling was performed on pre-NAC transurethral resection specimens from 343 patients with MIBC. Samples were classified according to four published molecular subtyping methods. We developed a single-sample genomic subtyping classifier (GSC) to predict consensus subtypes (claudin-low, basal, luminal-infiltrated and luminal) with highest clinical impact in the context of NAC. Overall survival (OS) according to subtype was analyzed and compared with OS in 476 non-NAC cases (published datasets). INTERVENTION: Gene expression analysis was used to assign subtypes. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Receiver-operating characteristics were used to determine the accuracy of GSC. The effect of GSC on survival was estimated by Cox proportional hazard regression models. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: The models generated subtype calls in expected ratios with high concordance across subtyping methods. GSC was able to predict four consensus molecular subtypes with high accuracy (73%), and clinical significance of the predicted consensus subtypes could be validated in independent NAC and non-NAC datasets. Luminal tumors had the best OS with and without NAC. Claudin-low tumors were associated with poor OS irrespective of treatment regimen. Basal tumors showed the most improvement in OS with NAC compared with surgery alone. The main limitations of our study are its retrospective design and comparison across datasets. CONCLUSIONS: Molecular subtyping may have an impact on patient benefit to NAC. If validated in additional studies, our results suggest that patients with basal tumors should be prioritized for NAC. We discovered the first single-sample classifier to subtype MIBC, which may be suitable for integration into routine clinical practice. PATIENT SUMMARY: Different molecular subtypes can be identified in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Although cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy improves patient outcomes, we identified that the benefit is highest in patients with basal tumors. Our newly discovered classifier can identify these molecular subtypes in a single patient and could be integrated into routine clinical practice after further validation.
