Purpose
The CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib inhibits cyclin A, which is overexpressed in endometrial cancer. Combining palbociclib with endocrine therapy improves efficacy in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. We investigated palbociclib combined with endocrine therapy for estrogen receptor-positive advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer.
Patients and methods
This placebo-controlled double-blind, randomized phase II screening trial (NCT02730429) enrolled women with measurable/evaluable estrogen receptor-positive endometrioid endometrial cancer that was primary metastatic or had relapsed after ≥1 prior systemic therapy. Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio, stratified by number of prior chemotherapy lines, measurable versus evaluable non-measurable disease, and prior medroxyprogesterone/megestrol acetate treatment, to receive oral letrozole 2.5 mg on days 1–28 plus either oral palbociclib 125 mg or placebo on days 1–21, repeated every 28 days until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS).
Results
Among 77 patients randomized between February 16, 2017, and December 21, 2018, 73 were treated (36 with palbociclib–letrozole, 37 with placebo–letrozole). Median follow-up was 21.9 (95 % CI, 16.7 to 22.3) months. Median PFS was 8.3 (95 % CI, 4.6 to 11.2) versus 3.1 (95 % CI, 2.7 to 6.8) months, respectively. In a landmark analysis at 12 months the PFS hazard ratio was 0.57 (95 % CI, 0.32 to 0.99; P = .044). Grade ≥ 3 adverse events were more common with palbociclib–letrozole (67 %) than placebo–letrozole (30 %), most commonly neutropenia (44 % v 0 %, respectively).
Conclusion
These results support a potential role of the palbociclib–letrozole combination as treatment for hormone receptor-positive advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer. Based on these encouraging results, phase III evaluation of letrozole combined with a CDK4/6 inhibitor is planned.

Objective
To compare the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) among patients undergoing gynecologic surgery before and after implementing an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathway.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective review of medical records from Mayo Clinic during three time periods when ERAS was used, focusing on patients who underwent open gynecologic surgery. AKI was defined using Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. We used inverse-probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) to adjust for baseline covariates between pre-ERAS (135 patients) and post-ERAS (486 patients) cohorts. Statistical comparisons were made using t-test, Wilcoxon rank-sum, chi-square or Fisher's exact test, and univariate logistic regression with odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI).
Results
Pre-IPTW, the AKI incidence was similar between cohorts (10.4 % vs 8.4 %, p = 0.48), and the odds of AKI for post-ERAS patients compared to pre-ERAS was not significant (OR 0.80, 95 % CI 0.42–1.51). After IPTW-adjustment, the AKI incidence remained comparable (10.3 % vs 8.1 %, p = 0.41), with the odds ratio unchanged (OR 0.76, 95 % CI 0.40–1.45). AKI patients were older (mean 67.0 vs 62.4 years, p < 0.01), had higher ASA scores (61.8 % vs 45.2 %, p = 0.02), lower preoperative hemoglobin (median 10.8 vs 12.5 g/dL, p < 0.01), longer surgeries (median 331 vs 222 min, p < 0.01), greater intraoperative blood loss (median 800 vs 500 mL, p < 0.01), more transfusions (56.4 % vs 29.3 %, p < 0.01), and higher fluid volumes (median 5750 vs 4165 mL, p < 0.01).
Conclusion
The ERAS pathway did not significantly impact AKI incidence in gynecologic surgery patients. AKI remains associated with increased postoperative complications, highlighting the need for improved risk prediction and preventive strategies.
目的:比较实施ERAS (Enhanced Recovery after surgery)途径前后妇科手术患者急性肾损伤(AKI)的发生率。方法:我们对梅奥诊所使用ERAS的三个时期的医疗记录进行了回顾性分析,重点是接受开放式妇科手术的患者。AKI的定义采用肾脏疾病改善全球预后(KDIGO)标准。我们使用治疗加权逆概率(IPTW)来调整eras前(135例)和eras后(486例)队列之间的基线协变量。统计学比较采用t检验、Wilcoxon秩和检验、卡方检验或Fisher精确检验,采用优势比(or)和95%置信区间(CI)进行单因素logistic回归。结果:iptw前,各队列间AKI发生率相似(10.4% vs 8.4%, p = 0.48), eras后患者与eras前患者相比AKI的发生率无显著性差异(OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.42-1.51)。调整iptwt后,AKI发生率保持可比性(10.3% vs 8.1%, p = 0.41),优势比不变(OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.40-1.45)。AKI患者年龄较大(平均67.0岁vs 62.4岁)。结论:ERAS通路对妇科手术患者AKI发生率无显著影响。AKI仍然与术后并发症的增加有关,这突出了改进风险预测和预防策略的必要性。

Objectives
To describe clinical outcomes and pearls for patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasm (GTN).
Methods
Patients with GTN treated at a referral center from 1/2006 to 12/2022 were included. Clinical characteristics, World Health Organization risk score (low-risk 0–6, high-risk ≥7), and treatments/outcomes were evaluated using summary statistics, stratified by initial treatment at a referral center versus locally. Histologies included complete hydatidiform mole (CHM), partial hydatidiform mole (PHM), choriocarcinoma (CCA), placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT), and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT).
Results
Of 189 patients with GTN, 125 were treated initially at a referral center and 64 locally. Median age at diagnosis was 34 years (range, 17–70). Most patients were White (n = 132, 70 %); 80 patients had CHM, 26 PHM, 52 CCA, 11 PSTT, 19 ETT, and 1 ETT/CCA. For low-risk GTN, first-line treatment was primarily methotrexate, although some were cured with repeat dilation and curettage. For high-risk disease, first-line therapy consisted of multiagent chemotherapy regimens at a referral center (n = 18/18) compared to 7 of 15 patients with high-risk GTN treated with methotrexate at local institutions. Patients with low-risk and high-risk disease who received initial care at a tertiary referral institution had cure rates of 100 % (n = 87/87) and 89 % (n = 16/18), respectively, while patients with initial care locally had cure rates of 87 % (n = 33/37) and 47 % (n = 7/15), respectively.
Conclusion
GTN is a rare gynecologic malignancy with high cure rates, particularly in low-risk disease. Treatment consolidation at a tertiary referral institution is critical for improved outcomes, particularly in those with high-risk disease or PSTT/ETT.

Background
Evidence is limited in gynecologic cancers on best practices for clinical trial screening, but the risk of ineffective screening processes and subsequent under-enrollment introduces significant cost to patient, healthcare systems, and scientific advancement. Absence of a defined screening process makes determination of who and when to screen potential patients inconsistent allowing inefficiency and potential introduction of biases. This is especially germane as generative artificial intelligence (AI), and electronic health record (EHR) integration is applied to trial screening. Though often a requirement of cooperative groups such as the Cancer therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP), and/or the Commission on Cancer (CoC), there are no standard practice guidelines on best practices regarding screening and how best to track screening data.
Development of manuscript
The authors provided a review of current clinical trial screening practices and the effect on enrollment and trial activation across a variety of disease and practice sites. Established clinical trial screening practices and evidence supporting emerging strategies were reviewed and reported. Due to lack of published literature in gynecologic oncology, authors sought to survey the members of current rostered GOG sites to provide perspectives on clinical trial screening practices. Survey results showed a variety of screening practices. Most respondents participate in some type of manual screening process, where approximately 13 % also report incorporating AI or EHR integration. Over half (60 %) of sites track screening data to use for feasibility when opening new trials. The rapid increase in generative AI, EHR integration, and site agnostic screening initiatives could provide a significant opportunity to improve screening efficiency, translating to improved enrollment, but limitations and barriers remain.

Objective
To evaluate the prognostic impact of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection at diagnosis (T0) and its early decrease after one cycle (T1) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) included in the CHIVA trial (NCT01583322).
Methods
Blood samples were collected at T0 and before each administration of NACT. Circulating tumor DNA detection was performed by next-generation sequencing. Multivariate analysis was performed. A p-value of 0.05 was considered significant. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared between groups defined by ctDNA kinetic profile. Cox survival model was used to search variables associated with PFS and OS. Kaplan-Mayer curve was used to graphically express the differences in PFS and OS. A log-rank test compared the two curves.
Results
188 patients were included. Blood samples were available for 168 patients at T0 and for 160 patients at T0 and T1 to assess ctDNA ratio kinetics. At T0, 107 patients (63.7 %) had detectable ctDNA. At T1, 137 (85.6 %) patients had negative ctDNA or a decrease of more than 80 %. There was a significant benefit in either PFS (p = 0.0017) or OS (p = 0.0036) in favor of early decrease of ctDNA ratio. A favorable decrease was associated with a greater likelihood of being able to perform CRS (OR: 3.94 (CI95 % 1.45–10.70), p = 0.0074).
Conclusions
Early decrease of ctDNA ratio can provide prognostic information early in the management of patients, allowing a more accurate information to patients and an early preparation for CRS (prehabilitation).

Objective
Food insecurity is becoming recognized as an important measure of public health. Louisiana has a poorer health index and a higher food insecurity rate than the national average. This study aims to investigate how living in a food desert affects the stage at diagnosis and 5-year overall survival in patients with gynecologic cancers.
Methods
Data on genital cancers diagnosed between 2015 and 2019 among Louisiana women aged 20 years and older were from the Louisiana Tumor Registry. The food desert data was based on the USDA Food Access Research Atlas (FARA). The covariates included in this study were race, age, insurance status, BMI, tobacco use, and Charlson Comorbidity Index. Univariate, multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard regression models were employed.
Results
Food insecurity is independently associated with diagnoses at an advanced stage in patients with cervical and uterine cancer (OR = 1.41 [1.01, 1.96] and 1.28 [1.04, 1.58], respectively) after adjusting for covariates. This association was not observed in patients with ovarian cancer (OR = 0.94 [0.64, 1.39]). In evaluating overall survival at 5 years after initial diagnosis, patients living in a food desert have higher mortality rates across cervical, uterine, and ovarian cancers in the univariate analysis (OR = 1.27 [1.01, 1.60], 1.27 [1.07, 1.49], and 1.34 [1.10, 1.65], respectively); however, this significance is diminished in the multivariate analyses.
Conclusions
Food insecurity affects gynecologic cancer morbidity and can offer an important point of intervention to increase cancer prevention initiatives and improve resources for underserved populations.

Objective
We sought to describe the association between genomic instability score (GIS) and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with newly diagnosed, non-BRCA1/2 ovarian cancer.
Methods
Homologous recombinant deficiency (HRD) status was based on a cutoff of ≥42 GIS; patients <42 were categorized with homologous recombination proficiency (HRP). We collected type and duration of maintenance therapy, among other variables, and built a multivariate model with landmark analysis at 6 months from baseline and applied it for time-dependent variables.
Results
Increasing GIS as a continuous variable was associated with improved PFS and OS in our cohort. Overall, median PFS was significantly longer in patients with HRD ovarian cancer (35.4 months, 25.4–NE) than in those with HRP disease (14.9 months, 13.1–16.2; p < 0.001). Median OS was 36.2 months (32.4–NE) for HRP and not reached for HRD (p = 0.002). Notably, in patients with HRP ovarian cancer, we observed a shorter median PFS in those who received a poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) than in those who did not (12.7 months for HRP with PARPi vs 15.2 months for HRP without PARPi).
Conclusions
Our results demonstrate that in newly diagnosed advanced non-BRCA1/2 ovarian cancer, GIS as a continuous variable is associated with longer PFS and OS. In patients with HRP ovarian cancer, PARPi treatment may be associated with shorter PFS, which warrants further evaluation.

Background: Genomic profiling-based model (GP-M) is the gold-standard for endometrial cancer (EC) molecular classification, but several issues related to the availability of genomic sequencing in low-income settings remain and health disparities in the management are increasing. This study aims to investigate the non-inferiority of the immunohistochemistry-alone model in classifying ECs compared to the standard genomic profiling-based model in terms of oncologic outcomes.
Methods: All preoperative uterine-confined ECs undergoing surgical staging were retrospectively included. Patients classified by IHC-M were stratified into: MMR-proficient (MMRp), p53 wild type (p53wt) and estrogen receptor (ER) positive, 2) MMRp, p53wt and ER-negative, 3) MMRd, and 4) p53abn. A case-control comparison was performed between the IHC-M and GP-M cohorts. Then, a propensity-matched analysis was performed: ECs classified by IHC-M were matched in a 3:1 ratio with patients classified by GP-M.
Results: 1587 patients with EC were included. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves for disease-free survival and overall survival demonstrated that the two models performed similarly in risk-stratifying the study population (p < 0.0001). Moreover, the AUC-ROC showed overlapping results: 0.77 (0.66-0.87) for IHC-M and 0.72 (0.63-0.81) for GP-M, indicating that both models were able to successfully identify patients at high-risk and low-risk of disease recurrence/progression.
Conclusion: The IHC-M showed overlapping classification performance compared to the GP-M in terms of oncologic outcomes. This study may lay the basis to further investigate the real-life clinical impact of POLE sequencing in molecular classification and the potential stand-alone prognostic role of ER status for further allocation of EC patients into risk classes.
