Abstract: The connection between Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome (PIMS) and Kawasaki Disease (KD) is not yet fully understood. Using the same national registry, clinical features and outcome of children hospitalized in Germany, and Innsbruck (Austria) were compared. Reported to the registry were 395 PIMS and 69 KD hospitalized patients. Patient age in PIMS cases was higher than in KD cases (median 7 [IQR 4–11] vs. 3 [IQR 1–4] years). A majority of both PIMS and KD patients were male and without comorbidities. PIMS patients more frequently presented with organ dysfunction, with the gastrointestinal (80%), cardiovascular (74%), and respiratory (52%) systems being most commonly affected. By contrast, KD patients more often displayed dermatological (99% vs. 68%) and mucosal changes (94% vs. 64%), plus cervical lymph node swelling (51% vs. 34%). Intensive care admission (48% vs. 19%), pulmonary support (32% vs. 10%), and use of inotropes/vasodilators (28% vs. 3%) were higher among PIMS cases. No patients died. Upon patient discharge, potentially irreversible sequelae—mainly cardiovascular—were reported (7% PIMS vs. 12% KD). Despite differences in age distribution and disease severity, PIMS and KD cases shared many common clinical and prognostic characteristics. This supports the hypothesis that the two entities represent a syndrome continuum.

Abstract: Introduction Salvage high dose chemotherapy (HDCT) followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is used in fit patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (RMM) in clinical practice. However, the role of this approach in the era of continuous novel agent based treatment has not been defined in randomized trials. The ReLApsE trial compared lenalidomide/dexamethasone (Rd) re-induction, salvage HDCT/ASCT and lenalidomide (R) maintenance with standard continuous Rd in a randomized controlled multicenter trial. Methods Between 2010 and 2016, 282 patients were randomized of whom 277 constituted the intention-to-treat (ITT) population (arm B/A n=139/138). Arm B received 3 cycles of Rd (lenalidomide 25 mg, day 1-21; dexamethasone 40 mg, day 1, 8, 15, 22; 4 week cycles) re-induction, HDCT (melphalan 200 mg/m2), ASCT and R maintenance (10 mg daily) until progression (PD). Arm A was treated with Rd until PD. In both arms stem cells were harvested after the 3rd Rd cycle if no back-up transplant was available. Key inclusion criteria were 1-3 prior therapy lines, age ≤ 75 years, time to PD ≥ 12 months in case of front-line HDCT/ASCT and WHO PS ≤ 2. The primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), response rates and toxicity. ISRCTN16345835, Eudra CT-No: 2009-013856-61. Results Arm B and A were balanced regarding age (median 61.3 vs. 62.2 years), ISS (I/II/III in 62.6/24.4/13% vs. 59.7/31/9.3%) and WHO PS (0/1/2 in 69.1/30.9/0% vs. 76.1/23.2/0.7%). Almost all patients had only 1 prior therapy line (arm B: 94.2% vs. arm A: 93.5%) and had received front-line HDCT/ASCT (92.8% vs. 94.2%). More patients in arm B had high risk cytogenetic aberrations (HR-CA; 42.9% vs. 31.6%) based on a higher frequency of t(4;14) (20.2% vs. 10.1%). The overall response rate (≥ partial response; ORR) for arm B and A was 77.9% and 74.6% (p=0.57) with 49.3% and 47.1% (p=0.81) achieving ≥ very good partial response as best response. Within a median follow up of 36.3 months, 183 PFS events and 76 deaths occurred. Median PFS in the ITT population was 20.7 months in arm B and 18.8 months in arm A without a statistically significant difference (HR 0.87; 95% CI 0.65-1.16; p=0.34). Median OS was not reached (NR) in arm B vs. 62.7 months in arm A (HR 0.81; 95% CI 0.52-1.28; p=0.37). In arm B, 41 patients (29.5%) did not receive the planned HDCT/ASCT. Thus, exploratory landmark (LM) analyses from HDCT and the contemporaneous Rd cycle 5 in arm A were performed (median interval from randomization to HDCT/Rd cycle 5: 117/122 days; n=103[B]/114[A] ). They showed a trend towards superior PFS (23.3 vs. 20.1 months; HR 0.74; p=0.09) and significantly superior OS (NR vs. 57 months; HR 0.56; p=0.046) in arm B vs. A. Multivariate analyses revealed significant associations of treatment in arm B with superior LM PFS (HR 0.6; p=0.01) and LM OS (HR 0.39; p=0.006). Other factors in the LM multivariate models showing significant associations with survival were HR-CA (PFS, OS), number of prior therapy lines (PFS), and age (PFS). The ORR in arm B after HDCT/ASCT was significantly higher than in arm A after Rd cycle 5 (82.3% vs. 69.6%; p=0.04). Grade ≥3 adverse events were reported in 83% (arm B) and 74.5% (arm A; p=0.11). Grade ≥3 leukopenia/neutropenia was reported in 61.5 vs. 24.8% (p 〈 0.001), grade ≥3 thrombopenia in 45.2 vs. 11% (p 〈 0.001) and grade ≥3 mucositis in 10.4% vs. 2.1% (p=0.005). No significant difference in grade ≥3 infections/infestations (33.3 vs. 27.6%; p=0.3) was observed. Eleven patients died on protocol treatment (B: 4 vs. A: 7). No deaths occurred in the HDCT/ASCT phase. Conclusions This is the first RCT comparing salvage HDCT/ASCT with continuous novel agent based treatment. No significant PFS or OS difference was observed in the overall trial population. However, HR-CA were more frequent in the HDCT/ASCT arm and ~30% of patients did not receive the planned HDCT/ASCT. Landmark analyses from the time of HDCT indicate superior PFS and OS in patients actually undergoing salvage HDCT/ASCT. Salvage HDCT/ASCT was safe with an expected increase in hematological as wells as gastrointestinal toxicity but without treatment-related mortality in patients up to the age of 75 years in this multicenter trial. However, the number of patients not undergoing salvage HDCT/ASCT and the approval of more active Rd-based triplet regimens after the initiation of this trial prevents definite conclusions on the role of salvage HDCT/ASCT.

Abstract: Background: In patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM), Moreau and colleagues (Lancet Oncol, 2011) demonstrated that subcutaneous (SC) administration of bortezomib (BTZ) significantly reduced rates of adverse events (AE) compared to the intravenous (IV) formulation without loss of efficacy. Prospective data on SC BTZ in newly diagnosed MM are limited. We investigated the impact of SC versus IV BTZ in two different induction therapies for patients with newly diagnosed MM treated within the multicenter, prospective randomized MM5 trial of the German Myeloma Multicenter Group (GMMG). Methods: From 06/2010 until 11/2013, 604 patients were randomly assigned to receive 3 cycles of PAd (BTZ 1.3 mg/m2, days 1, 4, 8 and 11; Doxorubicin 9 mg/m2 IV, days 1-4; Dexamethasone 20 mg/d, orally, days 1-4, 9-12 and 17-20) or 3 cycles VCD (BTZ 1.3 mg/m2, days 1, 4, 8 and 11; Cyclophosphamide 900 mg/m2IV; day 1, Dexamethasone 40 mg/d, orally, days 1-2, 4-5, 8-9 and 11-12) for induction therapy. In the MM5 trial, induction therapy is followed by stem cell mobilization and harvest, high-dose therapy and Lenalidomide-based consolidation/maintenance therapy. Primary end points of the ongoing study are response to treatment after induction therapy and progression-free survival. Due to improved AE profile of SC compared to IV BTZ reported by Moreau, the administration of BTZ was changed from IV to SC in 02/2012. Therefore, we were able to perform an explorative analysis of 598 patients who received at least one dose of trial medication (PAd: n=150 IV / 140 SC; VCD: n=154 IV / 140 SC). 14 patients were excluded from the analysis because administration of BTZ was changed after start of induction therapy. We analyzed whether the route of administration influenced the applied cumulative BTZ dose, toxicity and efficacy of PAd and VCD. Results: The cumulative applied BTZ dose was significantly higher in patients treated with SC BTZ (PAd: 28.9 mg; VCD: 28.8 mg) compared to IV-treated patients (PAd: 27.6 mg; VCD: 27.9 mg; p = 0.007). Analysis of reported AEs associated to induction therapy revealed a significantly higher rate in patients treated with IV BTZ (65.1%) compared to SC-treated patients (55.7%, p = 0.02). AE 〉 °II were reported more frequently in the IV group (IV: 52.0%; SC: 43.9%, p = 0.004). In detail, abnormal laboratory findings including leucopenia and thrombocytopenia (IV: 23.0%; SC: 16.4%, p = 0.05), metabolism and nutrition disorders (IV: 12.5%; SC: 5.4%, p = 0.004) and gastrointestinal disorders (IV: 9.9%; SC: 3.9%, p = 0.006) occurred more often in IV-treated patients. Analysis of peripheral neuropathy (PN) ≥ °II revealed no significant differences between IV and SC BTZ during the first two cycles of induction therapy (cycle 1: IV: 1.6%; SC: 2.5%; cycle 2: IV: 2.3%; SC: 3.6%) but PN occurred more often in IV-treated patients during the third cycle of induction therapy compared to the SC group (IV: 7.6%; SC: 1.8%, p = 0.001). Overall response rates (partial response or better) were not influenced by the route of administration in patients treated with PAd (IV: 72.7%; SC: 70.7%; p = 0.79) or VCD (IV: 77.9%; SC: 82.1%; p = 0.39). Analysis of the VCD arm showed that rates of VGPR or better were significantly higher in patients treated with IV BTZ compared to SC-treated patients (IV: 41.6%; SC: 28.6%, p = 0.02). Rates of VGPR or better were also higher for IV-treated patients in the PAd arm but did not reach statistical significance (IV: 36.7%; SC: 31.4%, p=0.39). Patient characteristics including baseline creatinine levels 〉 2 mg/dl, obesity or age at inclusion 〉 65 years did not influence efficacy of IV or SC BTZ in both arms. Conclusion: Last year we reported on the favorable toxicity profile and equal efficacy of VCD compared to PAd. With the current analysis we demonstrate that toxicity is further reduced with SC BTZ compared to IV. We therefore recommend VCD as induction therapy. However, we show for the first time a possible loss of efficacy in SC-treated patients. Therefore it remains unclear whether the reduced toxicity justifies the general application of SC BTZ in newly diagnosed, transplant-eligible patients or whether a prolonged treatment (4 x VCD SC) may reduce toxicity while achieving similar efficacy. Further studies are warranted since our results are partially in contrast with the previously presented data in relapsed MM and the ongoing MM5 trial was initially not designed to prospectively investigate the effect of SC or IV BTZ.

Abstract: Background: In the HOVON65/GMMG HD4 trial in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma we have previously shown that patients with renal impairment (RI) (creatinine 〉 2 mg/dl) have higher response rates and better survival when receiving bortezomib both in the induction and maintenance therapy before and after high-dose chemotherapy (HDT) (Scheid et al. Haematologica 2014). In addition patients with RI showed a higher prevalence of genetic high-risk features such as del17p or t(4;14). The aim of this analysis was to further elucidate the interaction between renal and genetic risk factors in well defined homogeneously treated myeloma patients. Methods: For this study we selected 2 cohorts of patients entered into 2 consecutive prospective trials with centralised FISH-assessement on CD138-selected bone marrow cells. The first cohort (1) comprises 395 patients from the HOVON65/GMMG HD4 trial having been treated in the German centers and the second cohort (2) consisted in the 601 patients (intention-to-treat population) from the recently closed GMMG MM5 trial. Patients lacking FISH results were excluded from the analysis, which was the case for 53 (13.4%) patients in cohort 1 and 43 (7.2%) patients in cohort 2. In cohort 1 induction treatment was vincristine or bortezomib + doxorubicin and dexamethason followed by tandem HDT followed by bortezomib or thalidomide maintenance. Cohort 2 received doxorubicin or cyclophosphamide + bortezomib and dexamethason as induction followed by 1- 2 HDT and consolidation and maintenance with lenalidomide. Results: In cohort 1 38 (10%) had RI and del 17p was found in 12/33 (36.4%) evaluable patients compared to 24/302 (7.9%) patients without RI (p 〈 0.001). t(4;14) was present in 11/33 (33.3%) patients with RI and 38/304 (12.5%) without RI (p=0.005). Gain of 1q21 ( 〉 2 copies) was present in 14/33 (42.4%) patients with RI and 92/298 (30.9%) without RI (n.s.). In cohort 2 68/601 (11.3%) had RI and 7/63 (11.1%) had del17p compared to 56/495 (11.3%) patients without RI (n.s.) while 29/63 (46%) patients with RI had t(4;14) versus 265/495 (53.5%) without RI (n.s.). Gain1q21 ( 〉 2 copies) was found in 36/63 (57.1%) with RI versus 209/495 (42.2%) without RI (p=0.025). In cohort 1 the response rate with at least VGPR after induction was low with and without RI in the VAD arm (15 vs 7.1 %) and reduced in patients with RI in the PAD arm compared to those without RI (22.2 vs 37.9%). This trend was not found in cohort 2: Patients with RI had VGPR or better in 42.4% in the PAD and 52.9% in the VCD arm, compared to 33.5% and 33.1% without RI respectively. Del17p and t(4;14) which were more frequent in patients with RI in cohort 1 did not have a negative impact on response rates after induction. Similarly gain1q was more frequent among patients in cohort 2 with RI but did not impact on response to induction. Conclusions: We analysed the effect of RI and genetic risk factors on the response to induction therapy in two different patient cohorts from two consecutive prospective trials. High-risk genetic features where found more frequently in patients with RI, but the pattern was entirely different between cohort 1 and 2 and they did not seem to influence response rates after induction. Our results confirm that bortezomib-based induction regimens achieve high response rates in myeloma patients with RI similar to those in patients without RI, independent of the presence of genetic risk factors.

Abstract: Methylphenidate (MPH) is the most common drug treatment of attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. Treatment with MPH is contraindicated in the presence of certain psychiatric, cerebro- and cardiovascular conditions. We assessed MPH treatment prevalence and incidence and the frequency of comorbid conditions related to these contraindications in new MPH users compared to a control group without ADHD and ADHD medication. Methods We used health care data for the years 2004 to 2006 from the German Pharmacoepidemiological Research Database (GePaRD) which includes about 18% of the German population. MPH treatment prevalence and incidence was assessed based on at least one MPH prescription in the given year. In MPH users, the prevalence of psychiatric and other comorbidities was assessed in the quarter of the first MPH prescription and the three preceding quarters, whereas in controls it was assessed in the earliest four quarters of continuous insurance time starting at 01.01.2004 or the start of insurance if this was later. Differences in the presence of comorbid diagnoses between MPH users and controls were tested by logistic regression. Results In 2005, 1.5% of all children and adolescents aged 3 to 17 years (2.3% of males and 0.6% of females) received MPH in Germany. The proportion of children with a record of a psychiatric comorbidity in any of the nine ICD categories of diagnoses was substantially higher in new MPH users (83%) compared to controls (20%). Cerebro- and cardiovascular comorbidities were rare in general. Still, among new MPH users, 2% of males and females had a diagnosis of a pre-existing cardiovascular disorder but only 1.2% of controls. Conclusions Besides MPH treatment prevalence we first publish age-specific incidence rates for Germany. A high proportion of children who were started on MPH had a record of a psychiatric comorbidity preceding the first prescription. Cerebro- and cardiovascular conditions were rare in the studied age range, but still higher among children who received MPH than in the control group. Results show that in a substantial subgroup of patients, comorbidities require a thorough weighting of possible risks of MPH medication against the risks of untreated ADHD.

Abstract: 6027 Background: Xevinapant is a first-in-class, oral IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis protein) inhibitor designed to restore cancer cell sensitivity to apoptosis, induced by RT and chemotherapy, and enhance antitumor immunity. In a randomized phase 2 study of patients with unresected locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, xevinapant + chemoradiotherapy (CRT) significantly improved 18-month locoregional control and improved 3-year progression-free survival and 5-year overall survival vs placebo + CRT. A phase 3 confirmatory study (TrilynX NCT04459715) and a phase 3 study to evaluate xevinapant + RT in post-operative, high-risk, cisplatin-ineligible patients (XRay Vision NCT05386550) are ongoing. In these studies, we investigate 3 additional cycles of xevinapant or placebo monotherapy after completing combination treatment. Based on the role of IAPs in apoptosis, immunity, and stromal activation, continual dosing of xevinapant post RT may have additional therapeutic benefits. Methods: MC38 syngeneic tumor-bearing mice were treated with vehicle control, RT alone (3.6Gy once daily [QD], 5 days), or RT + xevinapant (100 mg/kg QD, 1, 2, or 4 weeks). To assess treatment-mediated TME modulation, immune cells in tumors were evaluated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)based immunophenotyping, and tumor-specific T cell responses were investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISpot) assays. To understand the effect of xevinapant on RT-induced cancer associated fibroblast (CAF) activation, CAF gene expression was profiled on cell lines and patient-derived primary cultures. Results: Xevinapant + RT increased antitumor efficacy compared with vehicle control or RT alone. Moreover, RT in combi nation with extended dosing of xevinapant for 4 weeks significantly improved therapeutic efficacy and prolonged survival compared with RT + shorter xevinapant dosing durations. FACS analysis demonstrated trends of increased numbers of CD8 + T cells, natural killer cells, and dendritic cells and decreased numbers of regulatory T cells in mice treated with xevinapant + RT. FACS and ELISpot further suggested an increase in antigen-specific T cell counts from baseline with combination therapy arm vs vehicle control or RT alone. Xevinapant may also suppress RT-mediated CAF activation, as indicated by downregulation of activation markers and CAF-derived secretory proteins. Conclusions: In preclinical models, extended dosing of xevinapant for 4 weeks post RT improved antitumor efficacy. Our data suggest that the effect may be, in part, modulated by TME responses, including enhanced antitumor immunity and suppressed pro-tumorigenic phenotype of CAFs. Based on these results, further evaluation is warranted to determine the mechanisms that underscore the therapeutic benefit offered by extended dosing of xevinapant.
