PURPOSEThe neoCARHP aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of investigator-selected taxane (docetaxel, paclitaxel, or nab-paclitaxel) plus trastuzumab and pertuzumab, with carboplatin (TCbHP) or without carboplatin (THP), in stage II and III human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer.METHODSThe neoCARHP was a multicenter, randomized, phase III, noninferiority study. Eligible patients were women age 18 years or older with previously untreated, stage II and III, HER2-positive invasive breast cancer. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive six 3-week cycles of TCbHP or THP. The primary end point was pathologic complete response (pCR) rate in the breast and axilla (ypT0/is ypN0) in the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population (all randomly assigned patients receiving at least one dose of study treatment). Safety was evaluated in all patients who received any study treatment.RESULTSBetween April 30, 2021, and August 27, 2024, 774 patients were randomly assigned and 766 were included in the mITT population (382 in THP and 384 in TCbHP). pCR was achieved in 245 (64.1% [95% CI, 59.1 to 69.0]) patients in the THP group and 253 (65.9% [60.9-70.6]) in the TCbHP group (absolute difference, -1.8% [95% CI, -8.5 to 5.0]; odds ratio, 0.93 [95% CI, 0.69 to 1.25]; Pnoninferiority = .0089). The THP group had fewer grade 3 and 4 adverse events (20.7% v 34.6%) and serious adverse events (1.3% v 4.7%) than the TCbHP group. The most common grade 3 and 4 adverse events with THP were neutropenia (6.8% v 16.4% with TCbHP), leukopenia (5.5% v 14.8%), and diarrhea (2.6% v 4.2%). No treatment-associated deaths occurred.CONCLUSIONTHP provided noninferior pCR rates and improved tolerability compared with TCbHP. Omitting carboplatin may be applicable in HER2-positive breast cancer.
neoCARHP旨在研究研究者选择的紫杉醇(多西紫杉醇、紫杉醇或nab-紫杉醇)联合曲妥珠单抗和帕妥珠单抗,联合卡铂(TCbHP)或不联合卡铂(THP)治疗II期和III期人表皮生长因子受体2 (HER2)阳性乳腺癌的疗效和安全性。方法neoCARHP是一项多中心、随机、III期、非劣效性研究。符合条件的患者是年龄在18岁或以上的未接受治疗的II期和III期her2阳性浸润性乳腺癌女性。患者被随机分配(1:1)接受6个3周周期的TCbHP或THP治疗。主要终点是修改意向治疗(mITT)人群中乳腺和腋窝的病理完全缓解(pCR)率(ypT0/is ypN0)(所有随机分配的患者接受至少一个剂量的研究治疗)。对所有接受任何研究治疗的患者进行安全性评估。结果在2021年4月30日至2024年8月27日期间,774名患者被随机分配,766名患者被纳入mITT人群(382名THP患者和384名TCbHP患者)。在245例THP组(64.1% [95% CI, 59.1 ~ 69.0])和253例TCbHP组(65.9%[60.9 ~ 70.6])患者中进行了pCR检测(绝对差异为-1.8% [95% CI, -8.5 ~ 5.0];优势比为0.93 [95% CI, 0.69 ~ 1.25];非劣效性= 0.0089)。与TCbHP组相比,THP组3级和4级不良事件(20.7% vs 34.6%)和严重不良事件(1.3% vs 4.7%)较少。THP最常见的3级和4级不良事件是中性粒细胞减少(6.8% vs 16.4% TCbHP),白细胞减少(5.5% vs 14.8%)和腹泻(2.6% vs 4.2%)。无治疗相关死亡发生。结论与TCbHP相比,thp具有良好的pCR率和耐受性。省略卡铂可能适用于her2阳性乳腺癌。

PURPOSEThere is growing scientific interest in incorporating patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in early phase dose-finding oncology trials (DFOTs) to assess tolerability, inform dose selection, and guide later stage trial design. However, research indicates that PRO objectives in DFOTs are often unclear. The Incorporating Patient-Reported Outcomes in Dose-Finding Trials-Research Objectives Recommendations (OPTIMISE-ROR) project was established to support trialists to effectively incorporate PROs into DFOTs.METHODSUsing the Enhancing Quality and Transparency of Health Research (EQUATOR) Network's methodological framework, guideline development included the following: (1) a methodological review of published DFOTs incorporating PROs; (2) candidate item generation, refined through expert consultation; (3) a two-round international multistakeholder Delphi survey (N = 109 in Round 1 [October 2024]; N = 96 in Round 2 [December 2024]); and (4) an independently chaired virtual consensus meeting (N = 31; January 2025) where multidisciplinary, international experts reviewed and voted to finalize items for inclusion.RESULTSConsensus was reached on six recommendations emphasizing three core PRO tolerability concepts: overall side effect impact, symptomatic adverse events, and overall health-related quality of life. The integration of PROs to inform final dose recommendations in dose escalation and optimization trials should be considered, regardless of trial design. The recommendations highlight the importance of PRO data analysis over time and across dose levels, defining PRO research objectives as descriptive or statistically powered, and assessing PRO-related end points to guide end point selection for subsequent studies.CONCLUSIONThis foundational guidance outlines key PRO research objectives in DFOTs. By facilitating the systematic integration of PROs, this guidance supports the utilization of patient-centered evidence for the tolerability and efficacy assessment of therapies to inform dose escalation, optimization, and regulatory evaluation-ultimately contributing to the development of safer, more effective therapies.

PURPOSEPatients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) and advanced stage and/or significant smoking history are at higher risk of relapse. Induction immunotherapy before chemoradiation (CRT) may improve outcomes. This randomized phase II trial assessed the feasibility and safety of induction nivolumab before CRT in this high-risk population.METHODSEligible patients had HPV-positive OPC with either T4 and/or N2/N3 disease or a smoking history >10 pack-years. Patients were randomly assigned 1:2 to receive either standard CRT (70 Gy with cisplatin, control arm [CA], n = 20) or two infusions of nivolumab followed by CRT (experimental arm [EA], n = 41). The primary end point was the rate of patients who received full treatment in due time (FTDT), defined as (1) two nivolumab infusions on days 1 and 13-17, (2) CRT started between days 27-37 after the first nivolumab infusion, (3) no radiotherapy break ≥7 days, (4) >95% of theoretical/prescribed RT dose, and (5) cisplatin dose received ≥200 mg/m2. If two patients or less in the EA failed FTDT, the strategy would be considered feasible. Secondary end points included oncologic outcomes and toxicity.RESULTSBetween July 2019 and September 2021, 62 patients were randomly assigned. Median follow-up was 37.5 months. The primary end point was not met: four of 41 patients in EA received <200 mg/m2 cisplatin. Grade 4 to 5 acute adverse events occurred only in EA, in seven patients. The 2-year cumulative incidence (95% CI) of relapse was 7.3% (1.9 to 18.0) in EA versus 15.0% (3.6 to 34.0) in CA.CONCLUSIONInduction nivolumab before CRT did not meet the predefined feasibility threshold because of reduced cisplatin dosing after toxicity in 10% of patients. The relapse incidence was numerically lower in the EA but this finding is exploratory and requires confirmation.
目的人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)阳性口咽癌(OPC)晚期和/或有明显吸烟史的患者复发风险较高。放化疗前诱导免疫治疗(CRT)可能改善预后。这项随机II期试验评估了高危人群在CRT前使用诱导纳武单抗的可行性和安全性。方法hpv阳性OPC患者合并T4和/或N2/N3疾病或吸烟史≥10包年。患者按1:2随机分配,接受标准CRT (70 Gy顺铂,对照组[CA], n = 20)或两次输注纳沃单抗后再接受CRT(实验组[EA], n = 41)。主要终点是按时接受充分治疗的患者比率(FTDT),定义为(1)第1天和第13-17天两次纳武单抗输注,(2)第一次纳武单抗输注后27-37天开始CRT,(3)放疗无中断≥7天,(4)理论/处方RT剂量的95%,(5)顺铂剂量≥200mg /m2。如果EA中有两个或更少的患者FTDT失败,则认为该策略是可行的。次要终点包括肿瘤预后和毒性。结果在2019年7月至2021年9月期间,随机分配了62例患者。中位随访时间为37.5个月。主要终点未达到:41例EA患者中有4例接受了< 200mg /m2的顺铂治疗。4 - 5级急性不良事件仅发生在EA患者中,7例。EA组的2年累积复发发生率(95% CI)为7.3%(1.9 ~ 18.0),而ca组为15.0%(3.6 ~ 34.0)。结论在CRT前诱导纳沃单抗未达到预先设定的可行性阈值,因为10%的患者毒性后顺铂剂量减少。EA的复发率在数字上较低,但这一发现是探索性的,需要证实。

PURPOSESurgical axillary staging in patients with node-positive breast cancer (BC) who converted to clinical node negativity through neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has changed significantly in recent years. Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) and target lymph node (TLN) biopsy (TLNB) became increasingly popular. However, data comparing marking techniques for the TLN are limited. Here, we evaluate marking techniques in the largest prospective cohort worldwide.MATERIALS AND METHODSAmong patients from the ongoing prospective multicenter AXSANA (EUBREAST-03) study who received TLN marking and TAD/TLNB, we evaluated different marking methods with respect to detection and removal rates and clinical performance.RESULTSUntil January 6, 2025, 6,129 patients from 26 countries were enrolled. Of these patients, 2,596 had ≥1 TLN marked before NACT and completed surgery; 13.3% of the patients had ≥4 suspicious nodes at diagnosis. Pre-NACT TLN marking used a clip in 2,003 patients (77.2%), magnetic seed in 287 (11.1%), carbon ink in 192 (7.4%), radar marker in 119 (4.6%), radioactive seed in 18 (0.7%), radiofrequency identification device (RFID) in 12 (0.5%), or other methods in two (0.1%). One TLN was marked in 2,427 patients (93.5%), two TLNs in 138 (5.3%), and ≥3 in 27 patients (1%). Targeted removal of the TLN was planned in 2,100 patients (80.9%; TAD in 2,076 [80.0%] and TLNB in 24 [0.9%]). The TLN was detected and removed by TAD/TLNB in 1,915 patients (91.2%). TLN detection rate was the highest in patients whose TLNs were marked pre-NACT with markers suitable for probe-guided detection (96.6%; radioactive seed: 100%, magnetic seed: 96.9%, radar marker: 96.1%, RFID: 90%), followed by carbon ink (94.9%) and clip (89.6%; P < .001).CONCLUSIONThis large prospective analysis of patients with initially clinically node-positive BC receiving NACT demonstrates that probe-guided detection markers used to mark metastatic nodes before NACT provide superior detection rates.

Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) and target lymph node (TLN) biopsy (TLNB) became increasingly popular. However, data comparing marking techniques for the TLN are limited. Here, we evaluate marking techniques in the largest prospective cohort worldwide.MATERIALS AND METHODSAmong patients from the ongoing prospective multicenter AXSANA (EUBREAST-03) study who received TLN marking and TAD/TLNB, we evaluated different marking methods with respect to detection and removal rates and clinical performance.RESULTSUntil January 6, 2025, 6,129 patients from 26 countries were enrolled. Of these patients, 2,596 had ≥1 TLN marked before NACT and completed surgery; 13.3% of the patients had ≥4 suspicious nodes at diagnosis. Pre-NACT TLN marking used a clip in 2,003 patients (77.2%), magnetic seed in 287 (11.1%), carbon ink in 192 (7.4%), radar marker in 119 (4.6%), radioactive seed in 18 (0.7%), radiofrequency identification device (RFID) in 12 (0.5%), or other methods in two (0.1%).
