RESUMO
PURPOSE: Previous studies have reported the benefit of dual HER2-targeting combined to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in HER2-amplified breast cancer (HER2 + BC). Moreover, besides the cardiac toxicity following their association to Trastuzumab, anthracyclines chemotherapy may not profit all patients. The NeoTOP study was designed to evaluate the complementary action of Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab, and the relevance of an anthracycline-based regimen according to TOP2A amplification status. METHODS: Open-label, multicentre, phase II study. Eligible patients were aged ≥ 18 with untreated, operable, histologically confirmed HER2 + BC. After centralized review of TOP2A status, TOP2A-amplified (TOP2A+) patients received FEC100 for 3 cycles then 3 cycles of Trastuzumab (8 mg/kg then 6 mg/kg), Pertuzumab (840 mg/kg then 420 mg/kg), and Docetaxel (75mg/m2 then 100mg/m2). TOP2A-not amplified (TOP2A-) patients received 6 cycles of Docetaxel (75mg/m2) and Carboplatin (target AUC 6 mg/ml/min) plus Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab. Primary endpoint was pathological Complete Response (pCR) using Chevallier's classification. Secondary endpoints included pCR (Sataloff), Progression-Free Survival (PFS), Overall Survival (OS), and toxicity. RESULTS: Out of 74 patients, 41 and 33 were allocated to the TOP2A + and TOP2A- groups respectively. pCR rates (Chevallier) were 74.4% (95%CI: 58.9-85.4) vs. 71.9% (95%CI: 54.6-84.4) in the TOP2A + vs. TOP2A- groups. pCR rates (Sataloff), 5-year PFS and OS were 70.6% (95%CI: 53.8-83.2) vs. 61.5% (95%CI: 42.5-77.6), 82.4% (95%CI: 62.2-93.6) vs. 100% (95%CI: 74.1-100), and 90% (95%CI: 69.8-98.3) vs. 100% (95%CI: 74.1-100). Toxicity profile was consistent with previous reports. CONCLUSION: Our results showed high pCR rates with Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab associated to chemotherapy. They were similar in TOP2A + and TOP2A- groups and the current role of neoadjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy remains questioned.

Background and Aims: The treatment of metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been revolutionized by the arrival of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). For patients without immune related adverse events (irAEs), it is recommended to continue the treatment as long as it provides clinical benefit or until unacceptable toxicity appears. The aim of our study was to evaluate survival data among patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC following ICI discontinuation for reasons of long-term response or toxicity (irAEs). Methods: We included all patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC treated with nivolumab and pembrolizumab at the Centre Jean Perrin, Clermont-Ferrand, France (January 1, 2016 to May 31, 2019). We focused on two groups in this study population: "Voluntary treatment discontinuation" (medical decision as a result of long-term response and patient decision) and "Treatment discontinuation due to toxicity" (irAEs). The primary endpoint was to evaluate the postdiscontinuation outcomes of these two groups: progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and rechallenge in the "voluntary discontinuation" group. Results: The final analysis concerned 146 patients, including 10 (7%) in the "discontinuation due to toxicity" group, 11 (8%) in the "voluntary discontinuation" group, 100 (68%) who discontinued treatment as a result of progression and 25 (17%) whose treatment was still on-going. The median PFS in the "discontinuation due to toxicity" group was not reached, and in the "voluntary discontinuation" group (n = 11) was 37 months (p = 0.4), versus 2 months in the progression group (p < 0.001). The median OS in "discontinuation due to toxicity," and in the "voluntary discontinuation" groups was not reached (p = 0.5), versus 10 months in the progression group (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Treatment discontinuation following long-term response to ICI treatment showed sustained response and long-term survival after discontinuation. The incidence of irAEs was associated with better long-term survival, even after ICI discontinuation.
RESUMO
Introduction: Patients with high-grade gliomas are at risk of developing increased intracranial hypertension (ICHT) in relation to the increase in volume of their tumor. ICP change cannot be measured by invasive method but can be estimated by using routine clinical signs, in combination with a standard imaging method, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A non-invasive monitoring of ICP could be of interest in high-grade glioma, in particular after radiotherapy treatment with as major side effect a cerebral oedema. Patients and Methods: This prospective clinical study aimed to compare the ICP changes (estimated by a non-invasive method based upon distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) monitoring) with volume changes observed on MRI in patients with high-grade gliomas treated with radiotherapy. DPOAE measurements were performed one month after the end of radiotherapy and then every 3 months for one year. At each visit, the patient also underwent MRI as well as an evaluation of clinical signs. Results: The variation in the estimate of intracranial pressure readout measured at each follow-up visit (in absolute value with respect to the baseline measurements) was significantly associated with the variation of T2/FLAIR volume (n=125; p<0.001) with a cut off value of change ICP readout of 40.2 degrees (e.i. an estimated change of 16 mm Hg). Discussion: The GMaPIC trial confirm the hypothesis that the ICP change estimated by DPOAEs measurement using a non-invasive medical device is correlated with the change of the tumor or edema in high grade glioma after radiotherapy. The device could thus become an easy-to-use and non-invasive intracranial pressure monitoring tool for these patients. Clinical Trial Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov, identifier (NCT02520492).
