RÉSUMÉ
BACKGROUND: Endometrial carcinomas can be classified into four molecular subgroups - mismatch repair deficient (MMRd), p53 abnormal (p53abn), polymerase-ϵ (POLE) ultramutated, and 'no specific molecular profile' (NSMP). Retrospective data imply that the response to adjuvant therapies may depend on the molecular subgroup. These findings emphasize the need for adjuvant therapy trials where patients are randomized to treatment arms separately within each molecular subgroup. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: The PErsonalized TReatment for Endometrial Carcinoma (PETREC) trial clarifies the value of molecular classification in the determination of adjuvant therapies of high-intermediate risk and early-stage high-risk endometrial carcinoma. STUDY HYPOTHESIS: Compared with vaginal brachytherapy, the utilization of whole pelvic radiotherapy may result in improved outcomes for either MMRd or NSMP high-intermediate risk carcinomas. Early-stage high-risk p53abn and nonendometrioid carcinomas are postulated to gain benefits from chemoradiotherapy, as opposed to chemotherapy alone. POLE ultramutated carcinomas harboring high-intermediate or high-risk clinicopathologic features are speculated to have favorable prognosis without any adjuvant therapy. TRIAL DESIGN: This prospective, multicenter, phase 3 trial compares the efficacy of vaginal brachytherapy vs whole pelvic radiotherapy in high-intermediate risk MMRd and NSMP molecular subgroups, and chemotherapy vs chemoradiotherapy in early-stage high-risk p53abn subtype and nonendometrioid carcinomas. Eligible women who consent to participation in the trial are randomly allocated (1:1) to treatment arms. MAJOR INCLUSION/EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Women with stages I-II molecular integrated high-intermediate risk or high-risk endometrial carcinoma will be included. PRIMARY ENDPOINT: The primary endpoint is the 5 year cumulative incidence of disease recurrence. SAMPLE SIZE: A total sample size of 294 patients (49 subjects in each treatment arm of the three subgroups intended for randomization) was estimated to be sufficient. ESTIMATED DATES FOR COMPLETING ACCRUAL AND PRESENTING RESULTS: Patient recruitment will be completed in 2025, and follow-up will be completed in 2030. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT05655260.

BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 3 gene (TNFAIP3, also called A20) haploinsufficiency (HA20) leads to autoinflammation and autoimmunity. We have recently shown that a p.(Lys91*) mutation in A20 disrupts nuclear factor κB signaling, impairs protein-protein interactions of A20, and leads to inflammasome activation. METHODS: We now describe the clinical presentations and drug responses in a family with HA20 p.(Lys91*) mutation, consistent with our previously reported diverse immunological and functional findings. RESULTS: We report for the first time that inflammasome-mediated autoinflammatory lung reaction caused by HA20 can be treated with interleukin 1 antagonist anakinra. We also describe severe anemia related to HA20 successfully treated with mycophenolate. In addition, HA20 p.(Lys91*) was found to associate with autoimmune thyroid disease, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriasis, liver disease, and immunodeficiency presenting with specific antibody deficiency and genital papillomatosis. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that HA20 may lead to combination of inflammation, immunodeficiency, and autoimmunity. The condition may present with variable and unpredictable symptoms with atypical treatment responses.

OBJECTIVE: The metabolism and prognostic value of serum concentrations of the aminoterminal (PINP) and carboxyterminal (PICP) propeptides of type I collagen and the PICP:PINP ratio in relation to the carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP) in ovarian cancer were evaluated. METHODS: Fifty patients with epithelial ovarian cancer were evaluated with serial measurements of serum concentrations of PICP, PINP, and ICTP before the operation and at 3-month intervals during the first year after the operation. For statistical analysis the patients were divided into two groups according to clinical outcome (alive vs dead) and clinical behavior (fast progression vs others). RESULTS: The serum PINP concentration before the operation was increased and the PICP/PINP ratio was lowered in patients with poor prognosis (PP) compared to those with good prognosis (GP) and in patients with fast progression compared to others. The serum PICP concentration did not differ between the groups. The circulating ICTP concentration was significantly higher in the PP-group than in the GP group. In Kaplan-Meier analysis the PICP:PINP ratio divided the PP and GP patients (P = 0.0004). In multivariate regression analysis, the independent prognostic variables were clinical stage (P = 0.014, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.31-11.19) and preoperative serum ICTP concentration (P = 0.048, CI 1.01-5.91). When serum ICTP concentration was excluded from the equation, the PICP:PINP ratio (P = 0.012, CI 1.29-7.83), together with clinical stage (P = 0.013, CI 1.31-10.37), was found to be an independent prognostic variable. When the early and advanced stage patients were analyzed separately, the PICP:PINP ratio was a significant prognostic variable in multivariate analysis in early stage patients and in advanced stages during the first 4 years of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: A low PICP:PINP ratio was associated with fast progression and poor clinical outcome in ovarian cancer. Evaluation of the PICP:PINP ratio together with ICTP may be valuable in predicting the clinical outcome of ovarian cancer.
