RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Despite most metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients benefit from abiraterone acetate plus prednisone 5 mg bid (AA + P), resistance eventually occurs. Long-term use of prednisone has been suggested as one of the mechanisms driving resistance, which may be reversed by switching to another steroid. METHODS: SWITCH was a single-arm, open-label, single-stage phase II study. The primary objective was to evaluate the antitumour activity of abiraterone acetate plus dexamethasone 0.5 mg daily (AA + D) in mCRPC patients progressing to AA + P. Clinically stable mCRPC patients who had prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and/or limited radiographic progression after at least 12 weeks on AA + P, were eligible. The primary endpoint was measured as the proportion of patients achieving a PSA decline of ≥ 30% (PSA30) from baseline after 6 weeks on AA + D. Secondary endpoints included: PSA50 response rate at 12 weeks, time to biochemical and radiological progression, overall survival, safety profile evaluation, benefit from subsequent treatment lines and the identification of biomarkers of response (AR copy number, TMPRSS2-ERG status and PTEN expression). RESULTS: Twenty-six patients were enrolled. PSA30 and PSA50 were 46.2% and 34.6%, respectively. Median time to biochemical and radiological progression were 5.3 and 11.8 months, respectively. Two radiological responses were observed. Median overall survival was 20.9 months. Patients with AR gain detected in plasma circulating tumour DNA did not respond to switch, whereas patients with AR normal status benefited the most. No significant toxicities were observed and PSA50 response rate to subsequent taxane was 50%. CONCLUSIONS: In selected clinical stable mCRPC patients with limited disease progression on AA + P, a steroid switch from prednisone to dexamethasone can lead to PSA and radiological responses.

RESUMEN

Axillary lymph nodes status is the most important prognosis factor in early breast cancer. This status is known by a selective sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and/or lymphadenectomy. Immunohistochemical studies of breast cancer tumour tissue have reported a relation between the increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) and the risk of lymph node metastasis. We researched whether serum levels of VEGF-C could be a predictor factor of sentinel lymph node status in these patients. A prospective analysis was performed on serum from 174 patients with early breast cancer who underwent SLNB. The level of VEGF-C was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Clinical-pathologic variables were collected. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were conducted, taking SLNB positivity as the segmentation variable. The predictive value of VEGF-C was assessed using ROC curves. Of the sample group of 167 patients, 64 (38.3 %) had affected lymph node. Eighteen patients (28.1 %) presented micrometastasis; there were isolated tumour cells in 11 cases (17.2 %) and macrometastasis in 35 (54.6 %). The median value of VEGF-C was 6561.5 pg/ml. These values did not correlate with any clinical variables, and there was no association between the level of VEGF-C and SLNB status (p = 0.626). In the multivariate analysis, tumour size (p = 0.009) and the presence of vascular invasion (p < 0.001) were independently associated with sentinel lymph node affected. Serum levels of VEGF-C do not appear to predict sentinel lymph node status in patients with early breast cancer who undergo SLNB.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Radium-223 is an active therapy option for bone metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The lack of adequate biomarkers for patient selection and response assessment are major drawbacks for its use. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prognostic value of bone metabolism biomarkers (BMBs) in ra-223-treated mCRPC patients. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A prospective cohort study of mCRPC patients treated with Ra-223 (PRORADIUM study: NCT02925702) was conducted. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The main objective of the study was to evaluate the association between high (≥median) baseline values in at least three bone formation (bone alkaline phosphatase [BAP] and C-terminal type-I collagen propeptide) and bone resorption (N-terminal telopeptide and pyridinoline) biomarkers, and survival. The independent prognostic value of each BMB was also assessed. The association with time to radiographic, clinical, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression; time to skeletal-related events; and PSA response were secondary objectives. Multivariable (MV) Cox-regression models were evaluated. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: A total of 169 patients were included. Of the patients, 70.4% received Ra-223 in second/third line; 144 (85.2%) were Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group 0-1, 126 (74.6%) were in pain, and 80 (47.5%) had more than ten bone metastases. Sixty-seven (39.6%) patients had elevation in at least three BMBs. The median overall survival was 12.1 mo (95% confidence interval [CI]: 10-14.7). No association was observed with other treatment-related secondary outcome parameters. Patients with high values in three or more BMBs had significantly worse survival (9.9 vs 15.2 mo; hazard ratio [HR]: 1.8 [95% CI: 1.3-2.5]; p < 0.001) in the univariate analysis, but not independent in the MV analysis (HR: 1.33; 95% CI: 0.89-2; p = 0.181). High baseline BAP was the only biomarker associated with survival in the MV model (HR: 1.89; 95% CI: 1.28-2.79; p = 0.001). Addition of BAP to the MV clinical model increased the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 2-yr value from 0.667 to 0.755 (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: Biomarkers of bone formation, especially BAP, have prognostic value in mCRPC patients treated with radium-223. Its predictive value remains to be assessed, ideally in prospective, adequately powered, randomised clinical trials. PATIENT SUMMARY: In this study, we evaluate the role of bone metabolism biomarkers to help improve the use of radium-223 as therapy for advanced prostate cancer. We found that bone alkaline phosphatase may be a suitable tool.

RESUMEN

Early identification of germline BRCA1/2 mutations may be relevant for the management of patients with prostate cancer (PC) and to prevent future breast and ovarian cancers in their relatives. Several prediction tools have been developed to estimate the likelihood of a germline BRCA1/2 mutation and are widely used to optimize screening in breast and ovarian cancer patients. We aimed to elucidate the proportion of PC patients with known BRCA1/2 mutations who would have qualified for testing using two risk calculation models (BRCAPRO and the Manchester scoring system [MSS]). We analyzed 106 families with known BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations, including 23 with PC cases. Only 30% and 48% of PC patients who were known BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations carriers would have qualified for testing using BRCAPRO and MSS, respectively. A median of two breast and/or ovarian cancer cases per family had occurred between the first PC identified in a carrier and the cancer case leading to germline testing. PATIENT SUMMARY: We tested two models developed to predict the probability of inherited BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations and found that these tools underperform in men with prostate cancer and should not be used to optimize testing in this population.

RESUMEN

A recent meta-analysis indicated that higher tumoral expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) was related to poorer relapse-free and overall survival in breast cancer patients. However, a retrospective study found that higher circulating VEGF-C levels were associated with better survival in breast cancer patients. In 2009, we initiated a prospective study to determine the utility of preoperative serum VEGF-C levels for predicting the risk of sentinel lymph node involvement in early breast cancer and to assess serum VEGF-C levels as a prognostic factor for relapse-free and overall survival. We analyzed serum samples from 174 patients with early breast cancer who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsies. VEGF-C levels were determined using an ELISA. Serum VEGF-C levels were normally distributed, with a median value of 6561.5 pg/mL, and did not correlate with any other clinical or pathological variables. During a median follow-up period of 58 months, the five-year relapse-free survival rate was higher in patients with VEGF-C levels above the median than in patients with lower levels (95.3% vs. 85.9%, p < 0.04). No association was found between VEGF-C levels and overall survival. Our study demonstrates that the prognosis was better for early breast cancer patients with high serum VEGF-C levels.

RESUMEN

The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and receptor is a therapeutic target because of the importance of this pathway in carcinogenesis. This pathway regulates and promotes angiogenesis as well as increases endothelial cell proliferation, permeability, and cancer survival. Ramucirumab is a new fully human monoclonal antibody that targets the VEGF receptor-2, an important key receptor implicated in angiogenesis. Ramucirumab has been approved for the treatment of second-line advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in combination with the chemotherapy agent docetaxel. This was based on the result of the randomized trial REVEL of 1,253 patients with metastatic NSCLC previously treated with a platinum-based combination therapy. The authors observed a significant improvement in overall survival (OS) with an acceptable toxicities profile. In this study, patients were randomized to receive ramucirumab plus docetaxel or placebo with docetaxel. The combination of docetaxel and ramucirumab showed an improved OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.75, 0.98). Median OS was 10.5 months in the ramucirumab arm versus 9.1 months in the placebo arm. Regarding side effects, the toxicity described on the ramucirumab arm were principally diarrhea, fatigue, and neutropenia. The most common (5%) adverse reactions of grade 3 and 4 in the ramucirumab arm were fatigue, neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, leukopenia, and hypertension. Adding ramucirumab to docetaxel improves QoL of patients, and does not impair symptoms or functioning. There are currently several trials in progress evaluating the effects of ramucirumab in combination with other drugs in patients with advanced NSCLC.

RESUMEN

Sunitinib is the currently standard treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Multiple candidate predictive biomarkers for sunitinib response have been evaluated but none of them has been implemented in the clinic yet. The aim of this study was to analyze single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes linked to mode of action of sunitinib and immune response as biomarkers for mRCC. This is a multicenter, prospective and observational study involving 20 hospitals. Seventy-five mRCC patients treated with sunitinib as first line were used to assess the impact of 63 SNPs in 31 candidate genes on clinical outcome. rs2243250 (IL4) and rs5275 (PTGS2) were found to be significantly associated with shorter cancer-specific survival (CSS). Moreover, allele C (rs5275) was associated with higher PTGS2 expression level confirming its functional role. Combination of rs5275 and rs7651265 or rs2243250 for progression free survival (PFS) or CSS, respectively, was a more valuable predictive biomarker remaining significant after correction for multiple testing. It is the first time that association of rs5275 with survival in mRCC patients is described. Two-SNP models containing this functional variant may serve as more predictive biomarkers for sunitinib and could suppose a clinically relevant tool to improve the mRCC patient management.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To explore patient and disease factors, and reasons behind the physician's choice of platinum backbone for the first-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as observed in a European prospective observational study of patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic NSCLC (the FRAME study). Additionally, overall survival (OS) for patients who received cisplatin or carboplatin was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A post-hoc analysis of the prospective study population was conducted. Baseline characteristics of patients receiving cisplatin versus carboplatin were compared and summarized by propensity score. Survival for matched patients was summarized using the Kaplan-Meier approach. RESULTS: Of the 1564 patients who were included in the prospective study, 1520 received either cisplatin (54%) or carboplatin (46%) in combination with pemetrexed, gemcitabine, taxanes or vinorelbine. Patients treated with carboplatin were older than patients receiving cisplatin (mean age 67 versus 61 years; p<0.001), had poorer performance status (p<0.001), and more comorbidities (p<0.001). Cisplatin was most frequently combined with pemetrexed (47%), and carboplatin most frequently with taxanes (31%). Unadjusted median OS estimates for patients from the total prospective study sample were 11.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 10.1-12.9) for cisplatin recipients and 9.0 months (95% CI 8.1-10.6) for carboplatin recipients. Median (95% CI) overall survival for the matched cohorts was 10.8 months (8.8-14.3) for cisplatin versus 9.5 months (8.2-11.3) for carboplatin; p=0.086. CONCLUSION: This post-hoc analysis illustrated real-life differences in patients with NSCLC prescribed platinum-based first-line treatment, and suggested that baseline patient and disease characteristics were associated with physician's choice of platinum agent, with cisplatin being more frequently prescribed to younger and fitter patients.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: We report on a post-hoc analysis of patients with brain metastases from a large prospective observational study of first-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim was to describe baseline characteristics of NSCLC patients with brain metastases, understand their first-line treatment and report outcomes attained in real-world settings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This post-hoc analysis included all patients in the European observational FRAME study who had brain metastases at initiation of first-line treatment. Descriptive statistics were used for continuous and categorical variables and survival outcomes were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier approach. RESULTS: Our data showed that 17% of patients (263/1564) had spread of the disease to the brain at initiation of first-line treatment. Patients with brain metastases were slightly younger, and more likely to have NSCLC of non-squamous histology than the overall study sample. 34% had received prior palliative radiotherapy to the brain. Our analysis showed a median overall survival (OS) of 7.2 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 6.1-8.2] for all patients with brain metastases treated with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, ranging from 5.6 months for those treated with gemcitabine plus platinum up to 9.3 months for those treated with pemetrexed plus platinum. Further analysis showed that patients with brain metastases were more frequently treated with pemetrexed platinum-doublet therapy than with any other regimen. CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis provides a unique set of real-world data which adds to current understanding about treatment decisions and outcomes for NSCLC patients with brain metastases for whom there is little clinical trial data available.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: FRAME was a prospective observational study that captured real-world data on patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving platinum-based chemotherapies as first-line treatment (FLT) across Europe. As previously reported, most patients observed in the study had initiated FLT with either pemetrexed, gemcitabine, vinorelbine or taxanes in combination with a platinum. Baseline patient and disease characteristics including age, performance status, and histology varied (all p<0.01) across cohorts. METHODS: Consenting adult patients initiating FLT for advanced or metastatic NSCLC with platinum-based chemotherapy, with or without a targeted agent, entered the study between April 2009 and February 2011. The choice of FLT was left to physicians' discretion per routine clinical practice. The primary objective was to evaluate overall survival (OS) across platinum-based doublet chemotherapy cohorts and key secondary objectives included the evaluation of OS in patients with different histological subtypes of NSCLC. Survival outcomes were assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis, and unadjusted estimates are presented. RESULTS: Median OS in months was 10.3 across cohorts (n=1524), 10.7 for pemetrexed (n=569), 10.0 for gemcitabine (n=360), 9.1 for taxanes (n=295), and 10.7 for vinorelbine (n=300). For patients with non-squamous NSCLC who received cisplatin (n=616, 40% of total), median OS in months was 10.6 across the cohorts, 11.6 for pemetrexed, 8.4 for gemcitabine, 9.6 for taxanes, and 9.9 for vinorelbine. CONCLUSIONS: FRAME describes real-world treatment patterns and survival for patients initiating FLT for advanced or metastatic NSCLC between 2009 and 2011 across Europe.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Collet-Sicard syndrome is caused by lesions at the base of the skull affecting the lower cranial nerves. It is associated with various etiologies of tumoral and other origin. Although this syndrome has been reported previously in the literature, most cases are diagnosed as part of primary disease follow-up. This case is unusual because of the diagnosis of bone metastasis secondary to prostate cancer. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 70-year-old Caucasian man with a three-week history of headache and maxillary pain on the right side together with paresis of the low cranial nerves. This study was carried out with a computed tomography (CT) scan of the larynx and neck and MRI, which revealed a bone lesion at the base of the skull affecting the right occipital condyle and part of the right side of the basilar bone. On the basis of differential diagnosis, a fibrous dysplasia, Paget's disease or metastasis was considered. Finally, and after other studies were performed, a diagnosis of bone metastasis secondary to prostate cancer was established. CONCLUSIONS: We think that this case is curious because it involved an initial presentation of metastatic prostate cancer. It is important this should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a patient with unusual clinical findings is first seen in view of the fact that first-line hormonal treatment may control the disease for months or years.

RESUMEN

La Diabetes Mellitus es uno de los principales problemas de salud, la prevalencia mundial de la diabetes mellitus ha aumentado de manera impresionante en los últimos 20 años; en 1985 se calculaba que había 30 millones de casos, en tanto que en el año 2010 se calculó en 285 millones, la Federación Internacional de Diabetes (IDF) estima que para el año 2030, 438 millones de personas presentarán diabetes. La cetoacidosis diabética (CAD) y el estado hiperosmolar hiperglucémico (EHH) son las dos complicaciones metabólicas agudas más graves de la diabetes, las crisis hiperglicémicas a menudo requieren un manejo crítico de la atención y se asocian con costos significativos de la atención médica, morbilidad y mortalidad, la mortalidad en general de éstas ha presentado un descenso significativo con la implementación de protocolos de manejo. En El Salvador no contamos con una adecuada base de datos que revele el impacto verdadero de ésta; la falta de apego a estos protocolos se ha visto que influye directamente de manera negativa en la evolución de los pacientes hasta desenlaces fatales. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de fuentes documentales de pacientes diagnosticados con crisis hiperglicemia (CAD o EHH) manejados en Hospital Nacional Rosales, en el año 2015, en donde se comparó el manejo recibido y el apego con respecto al consenso de manejo de la ADA 2009. Desglosando el consenso clínico en 10 variables, asignándole 10% a cada variable, para obtener un porcentaje de cumplimiento de las recomendaciones, y se catalogó la adherencia como: buena al tener mayor al 90%, media al tener entre 40 y 90% y mala al tener menos del 40% de las recomendaciones del consenso. Se obtuvieron datos generales de los pacientes para caracterizar el perfil epidemiológico, el factor o causa de descompensación glicémica más frecuente. Resultados. Para la determinar la adherencia se excluyeron los pacientes atendidos y que fallecieron dentro de las primeras 24 horas de atención. Se encontró una adherencia media (promedio de 53,54%), en el manejo de los pacientes con crisis hiperglicémicas con respecto al consenso de manejo de ADA 2009, el sexo predomínate fue el femenino (56.8%), con una proporción (Femenina/ Masculino) = 1.3:1, la incidencia en mujeres fue mayor a edades tempranas entre los 12 y los 22 años, mientras que para los hombres fue entre 34 y 44 años, la causa más frecuente de descompensación fueron la suspensión de tratamiento y la infección de vías urinarias (ambas 29.5%), al correlacionar la mortalidad con la adherencia el resultado fue que: la mortalidad en la adherencia media fue de 25% mientras que en pacientes con adherencia baja fue de 28,6%
