Abstract
Background:Inborn metabolic disorders (IMDs) currently encompass more than 1,500 diseases with new ones still to be identified1. Each of them is characterised by a genetic defect affecting a metabolic pathway. Only few of them have curative treatments, that target the respective metabolic pathway. Commonly, treatment examples include diet, substrate reduction therapies, enzyme replacement therapies, gene therapy and biologicals, enabling IMD-patient now to survive to adulthood. About 30 % of all IMDs involve the musculoskeletal system and are here referred to as rare metabolic RMDs. Generally, IMDs are very heterogenous with respect to symptoms and severity, often being systemic and affecting more children than adults. Thus, challenges include certified advanced training of adult metabolic experts, standardised transition plans, social support and development of therapies for diseases that do not have any cure yet.Objectives:Introduction of MetabERN, its structure and objectives, highlighting on the unique features and challenges of metabolic RMDs and describing the involvement of patient representation in MetabERN.Methods:MetabERN is stratified in 7 subnetworks (SNW) according to the respective metabolic pathways and 9 work packages (WP), including administration, dissemination, guidelines, virtual counselling framework, research/clinical trials, continuity of care, education and patient involvement. The patient board involves a steering committee and single point of contacts for each subnetwork and work package, respectively2. Projects include identifying the need of implementing social science to assess the psycho-socio-economic burden of IMDs, webinars on IMDs and their transition as well as surveys on the impact of COVID-193 on IMD-patients and health care providers (HCPs), social assistance for IMD-patients and analysing the transition landscape within Europe.Results:The MetabERN structure enables bundling of expertise, capacity building and knowledge transfer for faster diagnosis and better health care. Rare metabolic RMDs are present in all SNWs that require unique treatments according to their metabolic pathways. Implementation of social science to assess the psycho-socio-economic burden of IMDs is still underused. Involvement of patient representatives is essential for a holistic healthcare not only focusing on clinical care, but also on the quality of life for IMD-patients. Surveys identified unmet needs of patient care, patients having little information on national support systems and structural deficits of healthcare systems to ensure HCP can provide adequate clinical care during transition phases. These results are collected by MetabERN and forwarded to the Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE) of the European Commission (EC) to be addressed further.Conclusion:MetabERN offers an infrastructure of virtual healthcare for patients with IMDs. Thus, in collaboration with ERN ReCONNET, MetabERN can assist in identifying rare metabolic disorders of RMDs to shorten the odyssey of diagnosis and advise on their respective therapies. On the other hand, MetabERN can benefit from EULAR’s longstanding experience regarding issues affecting the quality of life, all RMD patients are facing, such as pain, stiffness, fatigue, rehabilitation, maintaining work and disability claims.References:[1]IEMbase - Inborn Errors of Metabolism Knowledgebase http://www.iembase.org/ (accessed Jan 29, 2021).[2]MetabERN: European Refence Network for Hereditary Metabolic Disorders https://metab.ern-net.eu/ (accessed Jan 29, 2021).[3]Lampe, C.; Dionisi-Vici, C.; Bellettato, C.

Patient perspectives on chemotherapy de-escalation in breast cancer. Cancer Med 2021; 10:3288-3298.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given excellent survival outcomes in breast cancer, there is interest in de-escalating the amount of chemotherapy delivered to patients. This approach may be of even greater importance in the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS This concurrent mixed methods study included (1) interviews with patients and patient advocates and (2) a cross-sectional survey of women with breast cancer served by a charitable nonprofit organization. Questions evaluated interest in de-escalation trial participation, perceived barriers/facilitators to participation, and language describing de-escalation. RESULTS Sixteen patient advocates and 24 patients were interviewed. Key barriers to de-escalation included fear of recurrence, worry about decision regret, lack of clinical trial interest, and dislike for focus on less treatment. Facilitators included trust in physician recommendation, toxicity avoidance, monitoring for progression, perception of good prognosis, and impact on daily life. Participants reported that the COVID-19 pandemic made them more likely to avoid chemotherapy if possible. Of 91 survey respondents, many (43%) patients would have been unwilling to participation in a de-escalation clinical trial. The most commonly reported barrier to participation was fear of recurrence (85%). Few patients (19%) considered clinical trials themselves as a barrier to de-escalation trial participation. The most popular terminology describing chemotherapy de-escalation was "lowest effective chemotherapy dose" (53%); no patients preferred the term "de-escalation." CONCLUSIONS Fear of recurrence is a common concern among breast cancer survivors and patient advocates, contributing to resistance to de-escalation clinical trial participation. Additional research is needed to understand how to engage patients in de-escalation trials.

Abstract
Although new multiple myeloma (MM) therapies are effective in alleviating some disease-associated symptoms (e.g. bone pain, fatigue, functional decline), they can result in additional toxicities, further impacting health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Here, we compared HRQoL and safety of lenalidomide-bortezomib-dexamethasone [RVd (n = 445)], bortezomib-melphalan-prednisone [VMP (n = 77)] and Vd or VMP (n = 588) in patients with newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) from the Connect® MM Registry, a large, USA, multicentre, prospective observational cohort study. Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Multiple Myeloma subscale, EuroQol-5D overall score and Bone Pain Inventory HRQoL scores were significantly improved with RVd versus Vd/VMP. Serious adverse event rates were similar in all groups. Treatment with RVd maintained HRQoL in this real-world, largely community-based population of patients with NDMM.

Abstract
Introduction Hearing rehabilitation with cochlear implants has attracted increasing interest also for patients with cochleovestibular schwannoma. The authors report their experience with the surgical management of tumors with rare transmodiolar or transmacular extension and outcomes after cochlear implantation (CI). Methods This retrospective case series included nine patients with either primary intralabyrinthine tumors or secondary invasion of the inner ear from the internal auditory canal. The primary endpoint with CI, performed in six patients, was word recognition score at 65 dB SPL (sound pressure level). Secondary endpoints were intra- and postoperative electrophysiological parameters, impedance measures, the presence of a wave V in the electrically evoked (via the CI) auditory brainstem responses, the specifics of postoperative CI programming, and adverse events. Results Hearing rehabilitation with CI in cases of transmodiolar tumor growth could be achieved only with incomplete tumor removal, whereas tumors with transmacular growth could be completely removed. All six patients with CI had good word recognition scores for numbers in quiet conditions (80–100% at 65 dB SPL, not later than 6 to 12 months post CI activation). Four of these six patients achieved good to very good results for monosyllabic words within 1–36 months (65–85% at 65 dB SPL). The two other patients, however, had low scores for monosyllables at 6 months (25 and 15% at 65 dB SPL, respectively) with worsening of results thereafter. Conclusions Cochleovestibular schwannomas with transmodiolar and transmacular extension represent a rare entity with specific management requirements. Hearing rehabilitation with CI is a principal option in these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vaginal LASER therapy is increasingly used in the field of urogynecology, but several points remain unclear. Our goal was to produce a systematic review of available evidence and provide a critical appraisal of available data. METHODS A systematic review until march 2020 was conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane and Embase databases. All studies about vaginal LASER use in the field of urogynecology were included. RESULTS Forty studies have been included (8 for genitourinary syndrome of menopause, 19 for stress urinary incontinence, 3 for overactive bladder, 7 for urogenital prolapse, 3 for other indications). Data were heterogeneous, and level of evidence was weak or very weak. Few studies were comparative, and only 3 were randomized). Mild improvement of symptoms and quality of life and limited satisfaction were seen for genitourinary syndrome, stress urinary incontinence, overactive bladder and prolapse. Few adverse events were reported. However, major methodological biases were noted regarding efficacy and safety evaluation. No long-term results were available. CONCLUSIONS While Vaginal LASER therapy seem to provide encouraging results, the level of evidence supporting its use was weak, especially regarding long-term outcomes. Studies of better quality are warranted before any recommendation can be made. Current use should be limited to clinical research.

Abstract
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) community is a medically underserved population that suffers from cancer disparities. To identify potential gaps in attitudes, knowledge, and institutional practices toward LGBTQ patients, we conducted a mixed-methods survey of healthcare providers in the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group. METHODS: A validated, web-based survey was administered to members of the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group in late 2019. The survey was completed by 490 healthcare providers measuring attitudes and knowledge about LGBTQ health and institutional practices regarding collection of sexual orientation and gender identity data. Results were quantified using descriptive and stratified analyses. RESULTS: Among the 490 healthcare providers that completed the survey, 77% were White, 86% were non- Hispanic, 75% were female, 81% were heterosexual, and the mean age was 46 years. Approximately 47% of the respondents were medical oncologists, 39% practiced in academic medical centers (AMCs), and 49% were from the Midwest/Northeast. As reported by prior institutional and national survey studies, there was high interest (77%) in receiving education regarding the unique health needs of LGBTQ patients, an overall limited knowledge about LGBTQ health and cancer needs, and a significant decrease from survey assessment to postsurvey assessment for confidence in knowledge for LGBT health needs. There was high agreement (71%) regarding the importance of knowing gender identity, which was contrasted with a low agreement (48%) regarding the importance of knowing sexual orientation. Stratified analyses revealed significant differences of some attitude and knowledge items. For example, when stratified by licensure/terminal degree, MD/DO vs. RN/NP/PA were significantly more willing to be listed as a LGBTQ-friendly provider (81% vs. 50%) and reported to be knowledgeable about LGB health needs (69% vs. 53%). Providers at AMCs were significantly more willing to be listed as a LGBTQ-friendly provider (71% vs.53%) believe there should be mandatory education (72% vs. 60%) regarding care of LGBQ patients versus those at non-AMCs. Having family and/or friends who are LGBTQ (vs. none) and political affiliation (conservative vs. liberal) were strong effect modifiers resulting in significant differences for 9 and 8 items, respectively.
CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this was the first study of cancer care providers in a large cancer clinical trials research group that assessed attitudes, knowledge, and institutional practices of LGBTQ patients with cancer. Consistent with prior studies, there was limited knowledge about LGBTQ health and cancer needs, but high interest in receiving education regarding this community. New and intriguing differences for many attitude and knowledge items were revealed when we stratified the responses by licensure/terminal degree, practice setting, LGBTQ friends and/or family members, and political affiliation.

Abstract
Background Studies have reported racial disparities in access to and use of multiple myeloma (MM) treatments between African American (AA) and White patients. Although AA patients demonstrate longer disease‐specific survival, this has not uniformly translated into improved survival over time. The association between race and treatment patterns and survival outcomes was analyzed using data from the Connect MM Registry. Methods The Connect MM Registry is a large US, multicenter, prospective observational cohort study of patients with newly diagnosed MM. Patients who received first‐line (1L) stem cell transplantation (SCT) or who did not receive SCT (non‐SCT or non–stem cell transplantation [NSCT]) were grouped by raceEffects of race and transplantation status on the use of triplet treatment were estimated using logistic regression. Results Treatment patterns in 1L (types and duration of induction, posttransplantation maintenance) were similar between AA and White patients. SCT rates in 1L (32% vs 36%) and triplet treatment use (AA: 44% for NSCT patients and 72% for SCT patients; and White: 48% for NSCT patients and 72% for SCT patients) during first induction were similar. No significant effect of race or transplantation status on 1L triplet treatment use was observed. Race was not found to be associated with survival outcomes among patients who underwent NSCT; however, AA patients who received SCT had significantly longer overall survival compared with White patients who underwent SCT (not reached vs 88.2 months; hazard ratio, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.35‐0.89 [P = .0141]). Conclusions AA and White patients were found to have similar treatment patterns in the Connect MM Registry, suggesting that both groups had equal access to health care. In this real‐world setting, AA patients received standard‐of‐care treatment, which might have contributed to better MM‐specific survival compared with White patients. Real‐world data from the mostly community‐based Connect MM Registry demonstrated that African American patients have multiple myeloma treatment patterns that are similar to those of White patients. Similar (progression‐free survival) and better (overall survival) survival outcomes are reported in African American individuals.

Abstract
PURPOSE Symptom monitoring is attracting attention as a way to improve adherence to cancer therapy, reduce treatment-related toxicities, and possibly improve overall survival. How reporting thresholds affect symptom alert generation and clinical outcomes is poorly understood. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed data from 38 US health care institutions collected for the prospective Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-American College of Radiology Imaging Network E2Z02 Symptom Outcomes and Practice Patterns study. Participants were outpatients receiving chemotherapy for breast (n = 642), colorectal (n = 486), or lung cancer (n = 340) who rated symptom severity using the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory at 2 assessment points 1 month apart. Percentages of patients with pain, dyspnea, fatigue, or distress at different thresholds (score of 4-7 on a 0-10 scale) were compared. The percentage of patients whose performance status had worsened at follow-up was used to estimate risk for missing clinically important symptom data by using higher severity thresholds. RESULTS At the guideline-recommended threshold of ≥ 4, suprathreshold rates were 60% for any of the 4 symptoms at the initial survey; performance status worsened at follow-up for 27% of all patients with any symptom rated ≥ 4 at the initiate survey. When the threshold was increased to ≥ 7, approximately half of patients (51%) with worsened performance status were not identified. CONCLUSION The burden to clinicians from an alert threshold of ≥ 4 (per many current guidelines) would be substantial. However, setting higher alert thresholds may miss a large percentage of patients who need clinical intervention. These results may inform resource planning when implementing electronic symptom screening at an institutional or practice level.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Midurethral slings are the main surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Altis is a minimally invasive single-incision sling system. The aim of this study is to report the safety and efficacity results during a year of follow up. MATERIALS AND METHODS This single-centre and retrospective study has been performed in a university hospital, between February 2015 and May 2018. We included women aged more than 18, complaining a stress urinary incontinence with a urethral hypermobility and positive support maneuvers, who had failed from non surgical treatment. A prospective data collection has been done at the moment of inclusion, peroperative time, at 6 weeks, 6 months and a year after the procedure. The main evaluation criteria was the cure rate at twelve months. RESULTS Thirty patients were included in our study. The mean age was 45,4±12,9 years old, the mean ICIQ-UI score was 13,5±4,06 and the median pad test was at 12g. Ninety three percent of the procedures were done as ambulatory surgery. The average operating time was at 22,2minutes. Overall, 75% of our patients were objectively cured and 14,2% were in fail of this treatment. CONCLUSION The short term results show a good efficacity and safety of this procedure. But its place remains to be defined in relation to other techniques, TVT, TOT and non-prosthetic techniques. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3.

Abstract
Background The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and National Cancer Database (NCDB) show improved overall survival (OS) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) over the last 15 years. This analysis evaluated the validity of the largely community‐based Connect MM Registry as a national reference for MM. Methods Baseline disease characteristics and survival in US newly diagnosed MM patients were examined using the Connect MM Registry as well as SEER and NCDB databases. Baseline characteristics predictive of longer survival in Connect MM were also identified. Results As of February 2017, 3011 patients were enrolled in the Connect MM Registry; 2912 were treated. Median age at time of MM diagnosis and age range were numerically similar from 2010 to 2015 across all 3 registries; SEER had a higher representation of nonwhite racial groups than that in the other 2 registries. OS rates suggest proportionate improvement with year of diagnosis among the 3 registries. A Cox proportional hazards model suggests that younger age (<65 years) is associated with longer survival (vs ≥75; HR, 0.39; 95% confidence interval, 0.34‐0.46) in the Connect MM Registry. However, sex (HR, 0.91; P = .15) and race (black vs white; HR, 0.88; P = .21) were not associated with longer OS. Conclusions Data from the Connect MM Registry appear to be largely representative of national trends, comprehensive, and reliable representations of the national MM population. Baseline characteristics were comparable, and survival similarly improved over time among the 3 registries. ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT01081028.

Abstract
Median overall survival (OS) has improved for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), but prognosis varies depending on baseline patient characteristics. Current models use data from selected clinical trial populations, which prevent application to patients in an unselected community setting that reflects routine clinical practice. Using data from the Connect® MM Registry, a large, US, multicentre, prospective observational cohort study (Cohort 1: 2009-2011; Cohort 2: 2012-2016) of 3011 patients with NDMM, we identified prognostic variables for OS via the multivariable analysis of baseline patient characteristics in Cohort 1 (n = 1493) and developed a tool to examine individual outcomes. Factors associated with OS (n = 1450 treated patients; P < 0·05) were age, del(17p), triplet therapy use, EQ-5D mobility, International Staging System stage, solitary plasmacytoma, history of diabetes, platelet count, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status and serum creatinine, which were used to create survival matrices for 3- and 5-year OS. The model was internally and externally validated using Connect MM Cohort 2 (Harrell's concordance index, 0·698), MM-015 (0·649), and the phase 3 FIRST (0·647) clinical trials. This novel prognostic tool may help inform outcomes for NDMM in the era of triplet therapy use with novel agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sound localization is necessary for social interaction and remains challenging for bilateral cochlear implant (CI) users. This study investigated the influence of fine structure processing (FSP) coding strategies on temporal accuracy and source localization. The ability to discriminate between different interaural time differences (ITD) was measured objectively and compared. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen normal-hearing subjects and five CI users participated in this study. Electrophysiological recording of mismatch negativity (MMN) and psychoacoustic tests with headphones and loudspeakers were conducted to measure and compare the discrimination of ITDs. RESULTS In normal-hearing subjects the discrimination threshold for ITD was 83-117 µs. Localization ability in a free sound field was below the limit of resolution. A significant MMN was measured. CI users showed a mean angle detection error of more than 30° and a discrimination threshold between 1100 and 2100 µs. Due to artifacts, no clear MMN component could be recorded. CONCLUSION This study shows that MMN can be used as an objective measure of ITD discrimination in normal-hearing participants. An indication that improvements in directional hearing can be achieved with the transfer of fine structure could not be provided by this study.
