Background
The association between acute and late toxicity following prostate radiotherapy has not been well studied using data from multiple randomised clinical trials and fractionation schedules. We aimed to characterise the relationship between acute and late genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicity among patients receiving conventionally fractionated or moderately hypofractionated prostate radiotherapy.
Methods
This was an individual patient data meta-analysis that identified randomised phase 3 trials of conventionally fractionated or moderately hypofractionated prostate radiotherapy in the Meta-Analysis of Randomized trials in Cancer of the Prostate (MARCAP) Consortium that had individual-level acute and late toxicity data available and were available before Dec 1, 2023. Trials without individual patient data were excluded. Data were provided to MARCAP by study investigators. The associations between acute (≤3 months after radiotherapy) and late (>3 months after radiotherapy) grade 2 or greater genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicities were assessed using adjusted generalised linear mixed models (adjusted for age, androgen deprivation therapy status, type of radiotherapy, radiation dose, and radiation schedule). In the subset of trials that collected Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite quality of life (QOL) evaluations, the association between acute genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicity and decrements at least twice the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for urinary and bowel QOL were also evaluated.
Findings
Six of 26 available trials met all the eligibility criteria. 6593 patients were included (conventionally fractionated: n=4248; moderately hypofractionated: n=2345). Median follow-up was 72 months (IQR 61–94). Acute grade 2 or greater genitourinary toxicity was associated with both late grade 2 or greater genitourinary toxicity (odds ratio 2·20 [95% CI 1·88–2·57], p<0·0001) and decrement at least twice the MCID in urinary QOL (1·41 [1·17–1·68], p=0·0002). Acute grade 2 or greater gastrointestinal toxicity was associated with both late grade 2 or greater gastrointestinal toxicity (2·53 [2·07–3·08], p<0·0001) and decrement at least twice the MCID in bowel QOL (1·52 [1·26–1·83], p<0·0001).
Interpretation
Acute toxicity following prostate radiotherapy was statistically significantly associated with late toxicity and with decrement in patient-reported QOL metrics. These data support efforts to evaluate whether interventions that reduce acute toxicity ultimately reduce the risk of late toxicity.

<h3>Background</h3>PD-L1 and VEGF blockade with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab has been shown to improve survival in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. TIGIT is an immune checkpoint regulator implicated in many cancers, including unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Here, we evaluate the clinical activity and safety of the addition of tiragolumab, an anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody, to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab.<h3>Methods</h3>This randomised, open-label, phase 1b–2 umbrella study was conducted at 26 centres across China, France, Israel, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan, and the USA. Eligible patients were adults aged 18 years old or older with previously untreated locally advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0–1, Child-Pugh class A disease, and a life expectancy of at least 3 months. Eligible patients were randomly assigned (2:1) using permuted block randomisation to receive either tiragolumab 600 mg plus atezolizumab 1200 mg plus bevacizumab 15 mg/kg or atezolizumab 1200 mg plus bevacizumab 15 mg/kg, administered via intravenous infusion every 3 weeks on day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Patients received treatment until unacceptable toxic effects or loss of clinical benefit, whichever occurred first. The primary endpoint was objective response rate. Analysis of clinical activity was done in the efficacy-evaluable population (all patients who received at least one dose of each drug for their assigned treatment regimen) and safety was assessed in all patients who received any study treatment.

<h3>Background</h3>For patients with small-size colorectal liver metastases, growing evidence suggests thermal ablation to be associated with fewer adverse events and faster recovery than resection while also challenging resection in terms of local control and overall survival. This study assessed the potential non-inferiority of thermal ablation compared with surgical resection in patients with small-size resectable colorectal liver metastases.<h3>Methods</h3>Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) from 14 centres in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy with ten or fewer small-size (≤3 cm) colorectal liver metastases, no extrahepatic metastases, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0–2, were stratified per centre, and according to their disease burden, into low, intermediate, and high disease burden subgroups and randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either thermal ablation (experimental group) or surgical resection (control group) of all target colorectal liver metastases using the web-based module Castor electronic data capture with variable block sizes of 4, 6, and 8. Although at the operator's discretion, a minimally invasive approach in both treatment groups was recommended. The primary endpoint was overall survival, assessed in the intention-to-treat population. A hazard ratio (HR) of 1·30 was considered the upper limit of non-inferiority for the primary endpoint. A preplanned interim analysis with predefined stopping rules for futility (conditional power to prove the null hypothesis <20%) and early benefit (conditional power >90%, superior safety outcomes for the experimental group, and no difference or superiority regarding local control for the experimental group) was done 12 months after enrolment of 50% of the planned sample size.

This study assessed the potential non-inferiority of thermal ablation compared with surgical resection in patients with small-size resectable colorectal liver metastases.<h3>Methods</h3>Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) from 14 centres in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy with ten or fewer small-size (≤3 cm) colorectal liver metastases, no extrahepatic metastases, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0–2, were stratified per centre, and according to their disease burden, into low, intermediate, and high disease burden subgroups and randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either thermal ablation (experimental group) or surgical resection (control group) of all target colorectal liver metastases using the web-based module Castor electronic data capture with variable block sizes of 4, 6, and 8. Although at the operator's discretion, a minimally invasive approach in both treatment groups was recommended. The primary endpoint was overall survival, assessed in the intention-to-treat population. A hazard ratio (HR) of 1·30 was considered the upper limit of non-inferiority for the primary endpoint. A preplanned interim analysis with predefined stopping rules for futility (conditional power to prove the null hypothesis <20%) and early benefit (conditional power >90%, superior safety outcomes for the experimental group, and no difference or superiority regarding local control for the experimental group) was done 12 months after enrolment of 50% of the planned sample size. Safety was assessed per treatment group.
