OBJECTIVES: The use of a platinum doublet for the treatment of platinum-sensitive epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) recurrence is well established. The impact of the nonplatinum chemotherapy used as part of a platinum doublet on PARP inhibitor (PARPi) and platinum sensitivity it not known. We aimed to describe oncologic outcomes in cases of recurrent EOC receiving PARPi as maintenance therapy based on preceding platinum doublet. METHODS: Retrospective study of patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer treated with platinum doublet followed by maintenance PARPi from 1/1/2015 and 1/1/2022. Comparisons were made between patients receiving carboplatin + pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (CD) versus other platinum doublets (OPDs). Descriptive statistics, Kaplan-Meier and univariate survival analyses were performed. RESULTS: 100 patients received PARPi maintenance following a platinum doublet chemotherapy regimen for platinum-sensitive recurrence. 25/100 (25%) received CD and 75/100 (75%) received OPDs. Comparing CD and OPDs, median progression-free survival was 8 versus 7 months (p = 0.26), median time to platinum resistance was 15 versus 13 months (p = 0.54), median OS was 64 versus 90 months (p = 0.28), and median OS from starting PARPi was 25 versus 26 months (p = 0.90), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Using pegylated liposomal doxorubicin as part of a platinum doublet preceding maintenance PARPi for platinum-sensitive recurrence does not seem to hasten PARPi resistance or platinum resistance compared to OPDs. Although there was a non-significant trend towards increased OS among patients who received a platinum doublet other than CD prior to PARPi, the OS from PARPi start was similar between groups. Given the retrospective nature of this study and small study population, further research is needed to evaluate if the choice of platinum doublet preceding PARPi maintenance impacts PARPi resistance, platinum resistance and survival.

Inflammatory alopecia is an increasingly reported side effect of targeted cancer therapies. Here we report one case of inflammatory alopecia secondary to mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor agent Trametinib in a woman with ovarian cancer. Biopsies of the scalp were consistent with early scarring alopecia compatible with drug-induced alopecia. Significant improvement in hair loss occurred after treatment with intralesional Kenalog (ILK) injections and oral isotretinoin. Though acute alopecia has been described in patients using MEK inhibitors, this is the first reported case of inflammatory alopecia. J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(4):7802. doi:10.36849/JDD.7802e  .

RESUMO
PURPOSE: We examined associations between patient and treatment characteristics with longitudinally collected patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures to provide a data-informed description of the experiences of women undergoing treatment for endometrial cancer. METHODS: We administered National Institutes of Health Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaires at the preoperative visit and at 6 and 12 months after surgery. Anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, pain, physical function, and ability to participate in social roles were assessed. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and linear mixed models were used to examine associations between patient characteristics and PRO measures at baseline and through time. RESULTS: Of 187 women enrolled, 174 (93%) and 103 (69%) completed the 6- and 12-month questionnaires, respectively. Anxiety was substantially elevated at baseline (half of one population-level standard deviation) and returned to general population mean levels at 6 and 12 months. Younger age, Medicaid/None/Self-pay insurance, prevalent diabetes, and current smoking were associated with higher symptom burden on multiple PRO measures across the three time points. Women with aggressive histology, higher disease stage, or those with adjuvant treatment had worse fatigue at 6 months, which normalized by 12 months. CONCLUSIONS: We observed a high symptom burden at endometrial cancer diagnosis, with most PRO measures returning to general population means by 1 year. Information on risk factor-PRO associations can be used during the clinical visit to inform supportive service referral. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: These findings can inform clinicians' discussions with endometrial cancer survivors regarding expected symptom trajectory following diagnosis and treatment.
RESUMO
The interferon stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), a ubiquitin like protein and its conjugates have been implicated in various human malignancies. However, its role in ovarian cancer progression and metastasis is largely unknown. In high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), ascites is the major contributor to peritoneal metastasis. In this study, we identified significantly elevated ISG15 protein expression in HGSOC patient ascites, ascites derived primary ovarian cancer cells (POCCs), POCC small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) as well as metastatic tissue. Our results demonstrates that ISG15 increases exocytosis in ascites-derived POCCs by decreasing the endosome-lysosomal fusion, indicating a key role in sEV secretion. Further, knockdown (KD) of ISG15 resulted in a significant decrease in vesicles secretion from HGSOC cells and in vivo mouse models, leading to reduced HGSOC cell migration and invasion. Furthermore, our pre-clinical mouse model studies revealed the influence of vesicular ISG15 on disease progression and metastasis. In addition, knockdown of ISG15 or using the ISG15 inhibitor, DAP5, in combination therapy with carboplatin showed to improve the platinum sensitivity in-vitro and reduce tumour burden in-vivo. We also found that ISG15 expression within sEV represents a promising prognostic marker for HGSOC patients. Our findings suggest that ISG15 is a potential therapeutic target for inhibiting progression and metastasis in HGSOC and that vesicular ISG15 expression could be a promising biomarker in the clinical management of ovarian cancer. Significance: High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) has high morbidity and mortality rates, but its progression and metastasis are still poorly understood, and there is an urgent need for early detection and targeted therapies. Our study presents novel findings that implicate ISG15-mediated vesicular proteins in the advancement and spread of HGSOC. These results offer pre-clinical evidence of potential new molecular targets, prognostic markers and therapeutic strategies for HGSOC that could ultimately enhance patient survival.
