Abstract
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) is a yet unobserved nuclear process that would demonstrate Lepton number violation, a clear evidence of beyond standard model physics. The process two neutrino double beta decay (2νββ) is allowed by the standard model and has been measured in numerous experiments. In this Letter, we report a measurement of 2νββ decay half-life of ^{100}Mo to the ground state of ^{100}Ru of [7.07±0.02(stat)±0.11(syst)]×10^{18} yr by the CUPID-Mo experiment. With a relative precision of ±1.6% this is the most precise measurement to date of a 2νββ decay rate in ^{100}Mo. In addition, we constrain higher-order corrections to the spectral shape, which provides complementary nuclear structure information. We report a novel measurement of the shape factor ξ_{3,1}=0.45±0.03(stat)±0.05(syst) based on a constraint on the ratio of higher-order terms from theory, which can be reliably calculated. This is compared to theoretical predictions for different nuclear models. We also extract the first value for the effective axial vector coupling constant obtained from a spectral shape study of 2νββ decay.

Abstract
Core-collapse Supernovae (SNe) are one of the most energetic events in the Universe, during which almost all the star's binding energy is released in the form of neutrinos. These particles are direct probes of the processes occurring in the stellar core and provide unique insights into the gravitational collapse. RES-NOVA will revolutionize how we detect neutrinos from astrophysical sources, by deploying the first ton-scale array of cryogenic detectors made from archaeological lead. Pb offers the highest neutrino interaction cross-section via coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS). Such process will enable RES-NOVA to be equally sensitive to all neutrino flavours. For the first time, we propose the use archaeological Pb as sensitive target material in order to achieve an ultra-low background level in the region of interest (O(1 keV)). All these features make possible the deployment of the first cm-scale neutrino telescope for the investigation of astrophysical sources. In this contribution, we will characterize the radiopurity level and the performance of a small-scale proof-of-principle detector of RES-NOVA, consisting in a PbWO4 crystal made from archaeological-Pb operated as cryogenic detector.

Abstract
CRESST is a leading direct detection sub-GeVc-2 dark matter experiment. During its second phase, cryogenic bolometers were used to detect nuclear recoils off the CaWO4 target crystal nuclei. The previously established electromagnetic background model relies on Secular Equilibrium (SE) assumptions. In this work, a validation of SE is attempted by comparing two likelihood-based normalisation results using a recently developed spectral template normalisation method based on Bayesian likelihood. Albeit we find deviations from SE in some cases we conclude that these deviations are artefacts of the fit and that the assumptions of SE is physically meaningful.

Abstract
This work pursues the hydro-geochemical and isotopic characterization of the complex groundwater system of the Gioia Tauro Plain, one of the most important industrialized and agricultural coastal areas of southern Italy. The anthropic pressure exposes the water resources at risk of depletion and quality degradation making the plain groundwater a system of high scientific and social interest. The plain is characterized by a shallow aquifer, mostly recharged by local rains and a deep aquifer apparently less influenced by local precipitation. Both aquifers are mainly Ca-HCO3 waters except for localized sectors where Na-HCO3, Na-Cl and Ca-SO4 waters are present. In deep aquifer, both prolonged interaction with sedimentary rocks, mainly deriving from the erosion of crystalline rocks, and direct cation exchange represent the primary factors controlling the formation of Na-HCO3 waters. Mixing processes between these waters and either connate brine and/or deep thermal waters contribute to the formation of isolated high salinity Na-Cl-rich waters. In shallow aquifer, inputs of N-rich sewage and agriculture-related contaminants, and SOx emissions in proximity of the harbor are responsible of the increasing nitrate and sulphate concentrations, respectively. The Cl/Br and NO3/Cl ratios highlight contamination mainly linked to agricultural activities and contribution of wastewater. Along the northern boundary, the warmest groundwater (Na-Cl[SO4]) were found close to a bend of the main strike-slip fault system, locally favouring the rising of B- and Li-rich deep waters, testifying the influence of geological-structural features on deep water circulation. Despite the high-water demand, a direct marine intrusion is localized in a very restricted area, where we observed an incipient groundwater-seawater mixing (seawater contribution ≤7 %). The qualitative and quantitative conditions of the shallow aquifer still have acceptable levels because of the relatively high recharge inflow. A reliable hydrogeochemical conceptual model, able to explain the compositional variability of the studied waters, is proposed.

Abstract
The CRESST experiment employs cryogenic calorimeters for the sensitive measurement of nuclear recoils induced by dark matter particles. The recorded signals need to undergo a careful cleaning process to avoid wrongly reconstructed recoil energies caused by pile-up and read-out artefacts. We frame this process as a time series classification task and propose to automate it with neural networks. With a data set of over one million labeled records from 68 detectors, recorded between 2013 and 2019 by CRESST, we test the capability of four commonly used neural network architectures to learn the data cleaning task. Our best performing model achieves a balanced accuracy of 0.932 on our test set. We show on an exemplary detector that about half of the wrongly predicted events are in fact wrongly labeled events, and a large share of the remaining ones have a context-dependent ground truth. We furthermore evaluate the recall and selectivity of our classifiers with simulated data. The results confirm that the trained classifiers are well suited for the data cleaning task.

Abstract
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso of INFN in Italy is an experiment searching for neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay. Its main goal is to investigate this decay in ^{130}Te, but its ton-scale mass and low background make CUORE sensitive to other rare processes as well. In this Letter, we present our first results on the search for 0νββ decay of ^{128}Te, the Te isotope with the second highest natural isotopic abundance. We find no evidence for this decay, and using a Bayesian analysis we set a lower limit on the ^{128}Te 0νββ decay half-life of T_{1/2}>3.6×10^{24} yr (90% CI). This represents the most stringent limit on the half-life of this isotope, improving by over a factor of 30 the previous direct search results, and exceeding those from geochemical experiments for the first time.

Abstract
Crystalline aquifers are layered systems in which the hydrogeological path of waters extends from highly weathered, shallow and porous rocks to poorly weathered, deep and fissured rocks. This varying hydrogeological setting influences the water chemistry in different ways. The paper aims to reconstruct the water-rock interaction process in these various environments starting from a solid reactant represented by an average granite rock and several waters from the shallow aquifer. Afterwards, the water-rock interaction processes occurring in the deep environment are reconstructed, varying the geochemical conditions (primary reactants, secondary mineral phases allowed to precipitate, fO2 and fCO2), with a special focus on fluoride (F-). The evolution from the F-poor, Ca-HCO3 facies to the F-rich, Na-HCO3 water type of high pH was simulated using reaction path modelling. The obtained results show that the theoretical evolution trends well reproduce both shallow and deep water samples providing detailed information on the behavior of fluoride and other relevant constituents (i.e., Na, K, Ca, Mg, SiO2). The performed model represents a flexible and powerful tool for environmental research, applicable in other areas hosting F-rich groundwater.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of myocardial infarction and its natural history is still unclear. Non invasive imaging improves detection ability and differential diagnosis with aneurysm. We present the case of large post infarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm undergoing conservative management.
Case Report
A 81–years–old woman presented to emergency room complaining dyspnea and epigastric and right hemithoracic pain. Her past medical history included: chronic coronary syndrome, already undergoing CABG; recent inferior STEMI complicated with complete AVB, with ineffective RCA reperfusion attempt and bicameral pacemaker implantation; Paroxysmal AF in antithrombotic prophylaxis with DOAC. The ECG showed sinus tachycardia, HR 114 bpm, electro–induced ventricular complexes. Objectively, fine bilateral basal crackles were detected. Chest x–ray showed pulmonary congestion. The echocardiographic examination revealed: left ventricle with eccentric remodeling and severe depression of the contractile function (EF 35%), coarse neochamber in communication with the basal segment of the lower wall (D: 6.4 cm x 4.9 cm). The narrow neck, with a ratio <0.5 between inlet orifice diameter / neochamber diameter, suggested pseudoaneurysm. Working diagnosis of NSTEMI–ACS was made (usTnT peak: 344 pg / mL, NV: 0–15 pg / mL) complicated by heart failure. Progressive improvement in compensation was achieved through diuretic therapy. To improve diagnostic definition, cardio–synchronized chest CT with contrast medium was performed. The examination confirmed the voluminous neochamber, consistent with pseudoaneurysm, in correspondence with the mid–basal segments of the lower and inferior septal wall, with thinned walls and mass effect on the great cardiac vein, and highlighted the patency of the bypasses. The venous graft to OM was 5 mm distant from the posterior sternal surface. The case was discussed collectively in Heart Team, due to the high operative risk, the surgical option was rejected and a decision was made for conservative therapy. It was titled beta–blocker, ranolazine was introduced, heart failure therapy was implemented, introducing ARNI. The patient was discharged at home and is in follow–up at the outpatient clinic for heart failure. One month after discharge, she is in NYHA functional class II and she is asymptomatic for angor. The pseudoaneurysmatic dimensions are unchanged on echocardiographic control.

Abstract
The CUPID-Mo experiment at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (France) is a demonstrator for CUPID, the next-generation ton-scale bolometric 0νββ experiment. It consists of a 4.2 kg array of 20 enriched Li_{2}^{100}MoO_{4} scintillating bolometers to search for the lepton-number-violating process of 0νββ decay in ^{100}Mo. With more than one year of operation (^{100}Mo exposure of 1.17 kg×yr for physics data), no event in the region of interest and, hence, no evidence for 0νββ is observed. We report a new limit on the half-life of 0νββ decay in ^{100}Mo of T_{1/2}>1.5×10^{24} yr at 90% C.I. The limit corresponds to an effective Majorana neutrino mass ⟨m_{ββ}⟩<(0.31-0.54) eV, dependent on the nuclear matrix element in the light Majorana neutrino exchange interpretation.

Abstract
We measured two-neutrino double beta decay of ^{130}Te using an exposure of 300.7 kg yr accumulated with the CUORE detector. Using a Bayesian analysis to fit simulated spectra to experimental data, it was possible to disentangle all the major background sources and precisely measure the two-neutrino contribution. The half-life is in agreement with past measurements with a strongly reduced uncertainty: T_{1/2}^{2ν}=7.71_{-0.06}^{+0.08}(stat)_{-0.15}^{+0.12}(syst)×10^{20} yr. This measurement is the most precise determination of the ^{130}Te 2νββ decay half-life to date.

Abstract
AIMS To test the hypothesis that adipose tissue gene expression patterns would be affected by metabolic surgery and we aimed to identify genes and metabolic pathways as well as metabolites correlating with metabolic changes following metabolic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This observational study was conducted at the Obesity Unit at the Catholic University Hospital of the Sacred Heart in Rome, Italy. Fifteen patients, of which six patients underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and nine patients underwent biliopancreatic diversion, were included. The participants underwent an oral glucose tolerance test and a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp. Small polar metabolites were analyzed with a two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC-TOFMS). Gene expression analysis of genes related to metabolism of amino acids and fatty acids were analyzed in subcutaneous adipose tissue. All procedures were performed at study start and at follow-up (after 185.3 ± 72.9 days). RESULTS Twelve metabolites were significantly changed after metabolic surgery. Six metabolites were identified as 3-indoleacetic acid, 2-hydroxybutyric acid, valine, glutamic acid, 4-hydroxybenzeneacetic acid and alpha-tocopherol. The branched chain amino acids displayed a significant decrease together with a decrease in BCAT1 adipose tissue mRNA levels. Changes in the identified metabolites were associated to changes in lipid, insulin and glucose levels. CONCLUSIONS Our study has identified metabolites and metabolic pathways that are altered by metabolic surgery and may be used as biomarkers for metabolic improvement.

Abstract
We report new results from the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in ^{130} Te with the CUORE detector. This search benefits from a fourfold increase in exposure, lower trigger thresholds, and analysis improvements relative to our previous results. We observe a background of (1.38±0.07)×10^{-2} counts/(keV kg yr)) in the 0νββ decay region of interest and, with a total exposure of 372.5 kg yr, we attain a median exclusion sensitivity of 1.7×10^{25} yr. We find no evidence for 0νββ decay and set a 90% credibility interval Bayesian lower limit of 3.2×10^{25} yr on the ^{130} Te half-life for this process. In the hypothesis that 0νββ decay is mediated by light Majorana neutrinos, this results in an upper limit on the effective Majorana mass of 75-350 meV, depending on the nuclear matrix elements used.

Abstract
Aim: Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is a significant cause of dementia in mid-life and older adults. The extent of interactions between FTLD and other neurodegenerative pathologies is unclear. We reviewed the occurrences of mixed pathology in cases of neuropathologically diagnosed FTLD from the UK Brain Bank Network. Materials and methods: Clinicopathological details of cases of FTLD were extracted from the UK Brain Bank Network database. Results: Of 515 cases, 30.10% had mixed neuropathology. Concordance between clinical and neuropathological diagnosis was lower in these cases (38.71% vs. 59.17%). Alzheimer's spectrum pathology was the commonest additional finding. Age at death was higher in mixed neuropathology cases (mean 76.7 years vs. 72.59.0 years, p < 0.005), increasing in tandem with the number of neuropathologies present. Conclusion: Mixed neuropathology is common in FTLD and associated with increased age at death. Our findings suggest that mixed neuropathology influences age at onset and clinical phenotype in FTLD and makes accurate antemortem diagnosis more difficult. Further investigation of interactions between neuropathologies and phenotype is warranted, particularly in view of the potential impact on clinical diagnosis and patient selection for clinical trials.Key pointsMixed neurodegenerative neuropathologies commonly occur with frontotemporal lobar degeneration.The likelihood of mixed neuropathology with FTLD increases with older age at death.Mixed neuropathology could influence the clinical phenotype of frontotemporal lobar degeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about mechanisms of resistance to poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) and platinum chemotherapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer and BRCA1/2 mutations. Further investigation of resistance in clinical cohorts may point to strategies to prevent or overcome treatment failure. PATIENTS AND METHODS We obtained tumor biopsies from metastatic breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2 deficiency before and after acquired resistance to PARPi or platinum chemotherapy. Whole exome sequencing was carried out on each tumor, germline DNA, and circulating tumor DNA. Tumors underwent RNA sequencing, and immunohistochemical staining for RAD51 foci on tumor sections was carried out for functional assessment of intact homologous recombination (HR). RESULTS Pre- and post-resistance tumor samples were sequenced from eight patients (four with BRCA1 and four with BRCA2 mutation; four treated with PARPi and four with platinum). Following disease progression on DNA-damaging therapy, four patients (50%) acquired at least one somatic reversion alteration likely to result in functional BRCA1/2 protein detected by tumor or circulating tumor DNA sequencing. Two patients with germline BRCA1 deficiency acquired genomic alterations anticipated to restore HR through increased DNA end resection: loss of TP53BP1 in one patient and amplification of MRE11A in another. RAD51 foci were acquired post-resistance in all patients with genomic reversion, consistent with reconstitution of HR. All patients whose tumors demonstrated RAD51 foci post-resistance were intrinsically resistant to subsequent lines of DNA-damaging therapy. CONCLUSIONS Genomic reversion in BRCA1/2 was the most commonly observed mechanism of resistance, occurring in four of eight patients. Novel sequence alterations leading to increased DNA end resection were seen in two patients, and may be targetable for therapeutic benefit. The presence of RAD51 foci by immunohistochemistry was consistent with BRCA1/2 protein functional status from genomic data and predicted response to later DNA-damaging therapy, supporting RAD51 focus formation as a clinically useful biomarker.

Abstract
The tettigoniid Barbitistes vicetinus Galvagni & Fontana was described in 1993 as an endemic and rare bush-cricket of north-east Italy. Since 2008, this species has become a pest, causing repeated outbreaks with severe defoliations in broadleaf forests and neighbouring crops. Few data are currently available on ecology and life-cycle of this species, in particular about how temperature regulates egg-diapause and hatching phenology. The present work reports a field study regarding hatching phenology of B. vicetinus, surveyed with 84 emergence traps over four consecutive years (2013-2016). Moreover, the effect of temperature on the hatching was tested in the laboratory, exposing eggs to different temperatures. Field observations showed that hatching occurred between the end of March and beginning of April. In warmer years, hatching started early in the spring and lasted longer, while in colder years, hatching started later and was concentrated in a few days. Moreover, a significant effect of both elevation and exposure on the hatching start was observed. Results obtained from laboratory suggested the ability of the species to develop in the post-final diapause in a wide range of thermal conditions. After the diapause (terminated by a prolonged common exposure to low temperature) B. vicetinus was able to hatch from 6 to 23°C although, due to prolonged post-diapause development, hatching took place progressively later at colder temperatures. To manage B. vicetinus outbreaks, forecasting the seasonal phenology of egg hatching and its duration is important for an effective pest control.

Abstract
The standardization of outcome reporting is crucial for interpretation and comparison of studies related to laser treatment of skin disorders. In collaboration with the Cochrane Skin-Core Outcome Set Initiative (CS-COUSIN), a procedure has been proposed to find consensus on the most important generic outcome domains (what to measure) for implementation in the international Laser TrEAtment in Dermatology (LEAD) registry. As the first step in the development of a generic outcome set for the LEAD registry, we undertook a systematic review to identify outcomes, outcome measurement instruments, methods and definitions reported in recently published literature of laser treatments for skin disorders. A systematic search was conducted and generated a total of 707 papers. We assessed 150 studies including all types of studies involving laser treatments for the skin. Two researchers independently extracted the type, definition and frequency of all outcomes and used outcome measurement instruments. We identified 105 verbatim outcomes that were categorized into eight domains recommended by the COMET framework: appearance, long-term effects, physician and patient-reported physical signs, satisfaction, health-related quality of life, psychological functioning and adverse events. Heterogeneity in outcome reporting (e.g. categories and outcome measurement instruments) was high, and definitions were insufficiently reported. There was a clear under representation of life impact domains, including satisfaction (23%) quality of life (3%) and psychological functioning (1%). Outcome reporting concerning laser treatments for the skin is heterogeneous. Standardized outcomes are needed for improving evidence synthesis. Results of this review will be used in the next step to reach consensus between stakeholders on the outcome domains to be implemented in the LEAD registry.

Abstract
Background Metabolic surgery is associated with a prompt improvement in insulin resistance, although the mechanism of action remains unknown. The literature on bile acid changes after metabolic surgery is conflicting, and insulin sensitivity is generally assessed by indirect methods. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between improvement in insulin sensitivity and concentration of circulating bile acids after biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) and Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Methods This was a prospective observational study of nine patients who underwent BPD and six who had RYGB. Inclusion criteria for participation were a BMI in excess of 40 kg/m2, no previous diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and willingness to participate. Exclusion criteria were major endocrine diseases, malignancies and liver cirrhosis. Follow‐up visits were carried out after a mean(s.d.) of 185·3(72·9) days. Fasting plasma bile acids were assessed by ultra‐high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, and insulin sensitivity was measured by means of a hyperinsulinaemic–euglycaemic clamp. Results A significant increase in all bile acids, as well as an amelioration of insulin sensitivity, was observed after metabolic surgery. An increase in conjugated secondary bile acids was significantly associated with an increase in insulin sensitivity. Only the increase in glycodeoxycholic acid was significantly associated with an increase in insulin sensitivity in analysis of individual conjugated secondary bile acids. Conclusion Glycodeoxycholic acid might drive the improved insulin sensitivity after metabolic surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proper wound healing after regenerative surgical procedures is an essential issue for clinical success. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and application of enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) are common means to regenerate periodontal tissues. Both methods bear considerable advantages due to their special characteristics, but also go along with certain disadvantages. Today, there is no consensus in the literature whether GTR or EMD show better results regarding early wound healing, which is considered a crucial stage in periodontal regeneration. Therefore, the aim of the present systematic review was to compare the early wound healing after regenerative periodontal surgery with either EMD or GTR treatment. METHODS An electronic literature search in PubMed was performed to identify randomized clinical trials (RCTs) or clinical trials (CTs) comparing regenerative surgery employing EMD and/or GTR in patients with chronic periodontitis. Among the finally included studies, a qualitative and quantitative data extraction regarding early wound healing parameters was performed. Primary outcome parameters were early wound healing index (EWH), flap dehiscence, membrane exposure, suppuration and abscess formation during the first 6 weeks. As secondary parameters, swelling and allergic reactions were assessed. RESULTS Seven studies reporting 220 intrabony periodontal defects in 199 patients were analysed. Flap dehiscence was observed in two studies in 12% of the GTR treated sites and in 10.3% of those treated with EMD. Membrane exposure was evaluated in five studies and was registered in the 28.8% of the defects, while no dehiscence was reported on the EMD group. Swelling was reported only in one study in 8/16 GTR sites and 7/16 EMD sites. Due to considerable heterogeneity of parameters no meta-analysis was possible. CONCLUSIONS Due to considerable heterogeneity of the published studies a clear beneficial effect of the EMD on the early wound healing outcomes after surgical treatment of periodontal intrabony defects cannot be confirmed. Standardized RCT studies are needed in order to allow for proper comparison of early wound healing after both types of surgical approaches.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: While great strides have been made in the treatment of ER+ MBC, therapeutic resistance is nearly universal. The genomic evolution of ER+ breast cancer in the metastatic setting under the selective pressure of multiple lines of therapies is not well understood. To address this, we analyzed the clonal dynamics of serial metastatic samples (mets) to evaluate how tumors evolve and to identify acquired resistance mechanisms.
Methods: We performed WES on 462 clinically annotated samples from 208 patients (pts) with ER+ MBC, including 67 primary tumor biopsies, 229 metastatic biopsies and 160 blood samples (cfDNA). Pts with multiple mets included cases with temporally concordant metastatic tumor and blood samples (48 pts) and cases with serial mets obtained over the course of treatment in the metastatic setting (69 pts). Treatments given between the serial mets included CDK4/6 inhibitors (23 pts), and selective estrogen receptor degraders (19 pts), among others.
Results: In the temporally-concordant mets, we found that cfDNA mutations (muts) largely overlap with muts found in tumor biopsies, capturing >85% of clonal tumor muts. However, we observed a higher level of heterogeneity in cfDNA compared to biopsies (p.value< 1.05e-19, Welch test) and a subset of high-confidence muts that were only detected in cfDNA, including in clinically important genes such as ESR1, PIK3CA, KRAS, and ERBB2. Analysis of serial mets was used to elucidate the evolutionary dynamics within the metastatic setting under the selective pressure of treatment. The median duration between mets was 112 days and the median number of inter-biopsy unique treatments was two. Most tumors continued to evolve within the metastatic setting, with 50 out of 69 pts (72%) acquiring a meaningful sub-clone (50% increase in relative cancer cell fraction) and 31 out of 69 (45%) acquiring muts in known cancer genes, including a subset acquiring a plausible resistance alteration such as alterations that dysregulate ER (5 out of 69 pts, 7%; ESR1 mut, FOXA1 amplification (amp), NCOR1 bi-allelic deletion (del)), ERBB (4%; ERBB2 amp, ERBB3 mut), RAS (4%; KRAS mut, NRAS amp, NF1 del), FGF/FGFR (12%; FGFR2 mut, FGFR1/2 amp, FGF3 amp), and cell cycle (13%; RB1 del, CDK4 amp, AURKA amp, CDKN2A del). Finally, in pts who had multiple mets, we observed several cases of evolutionary convergence toward equivalent resistance mechanisms including convergent RB1 loss as a mechanism of resistance to a CDK4/6 inhibitor and convergent BRCA2 reversion following resistance to a PARP inhibitor.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates that ER+ MBC continues to evolve under the selective pressure of treatments in the metastatic setting. These findings elucidate the challenge of studying high complexity and heavily treated tumors, while also highlighting some commonalities in the evolutionary trajectories selected by these treatments. The multiplicity of clinically relevant genomic alterations acquired in these advanced stages highlights the need for serial biopsies and the potential to inform post-progression therapeutic choices through targeting the acquired dependencies in post-progression tumors.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for anastomotic stenosis in patients operated on for diverticular disease. Histological inflammation and diverticula at the resection margins were also considered. METHOD Patients' characteristics, the surgical technique and postoperative complications were collected from the medical records. Anastomotic stenoses were evaluated prospectively by rigid sigmoidoscopy during follow-up examination. Histological specimens were examined by a single pathologist who investigated inflammation and diverticula at the resection margins. Twenty patients with anastomotic colorectal stenosis from a single tertiary centre were compared with 24 consecutive patients without stenosis. They were all operated on for diverticular disease over a specified time period. RESULTS Histological inflammation and diverticula were found in 25% and 30% of the resection margins respectively. Univariate analysis showed that age > 71 years (P = 0.0002), female gender (P = 0.0069) and anastomoses located below 12 cm from the anal verge (P = 0.020) were risk factors for stenosis. No correlation was found between anastomotic stenosis and the presence of histological inflammation or diverticula at the resection margins. By multivariate analysis, only age > 71 years was found to be a statistically significant risk factor for stenosis (P = 0.0003, OR = 60.8, 95% CI: 6.4-575.5). CONCLUSION Anastomotic stenosis is a frequent, long-term complication following surgery for diverticular disease. An analysis demonstrated that age is a risk factor for colorectal stenosis and that histological inflammation and the presence of diverticula near/at the resection margins have no effect on the incidence of stenosis.

Abstract
We report the result of the search for neutrinoless double beta decay of ^{82}Se obtained with CUPID-0, the first large array of scintillating Zn^{82}Se cryogenic calorimeters implementing particle identification. We observe no signal in a 1.83 kg yr ^{82}Se exposure, and we set the most stringent lower limit on the 0νββ ^{82}Se half-life T_{1/2}^{0ν}>2.4×10^{24} yr (90% credible interval), which corresponds to an effective Majorana neutrino mass m_{ββ}<(376-770) meV depending on the nuclear matrix element calculations. The heat-light readout provides a powerful tool for the rejection of α particles and allows us to suppress the background in the region of interest down to (3.6_{-1.4}^{+1.9})×10^{-3} counts/(keV kg yr), an unprecedented level for this technique.

Abstract
The CUORE experiment, a ton-scale cryogenic bolometer array, recently began operation at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. The array represents a significant advancement in this technology, and in this work we apply it for the first time to a high-sensitivity search for a lepton-number-violating process: ^{130}Te neutrinoless double-beta decay. Examining a total TeO_{2} exposure of 86.3 kg yr, characterized by an effective energy resolution of (7.7±0.5) keV FWHM and a background in the region of interest of (0.014±0.002) counts/(keV kg yr), we find no evidence for neutrinoless double-beta decay. Including systematic uncertainties, we place a lower limit on the decay half-life of T_{1/2}^{0ν}(^{130}Te)>1.3×10^{25} yr (90% C.L.); the median statistical sensitivity of this search is 7.0×10^{24} yr. Combining this result with those of two earlier experiments, Cuoricino and CUORE-0, we find T_{1/2}^{0ν}(^{130}Te)>1.5×10^{25} yr (90% C.L.), which is the most stringent limit to date on this decay. Interpreting this result as a limit on the effective Majorana neutrino mass, we find m_{ββ}<(110-520) meV, where the range reflects the nuclear matrix element estimates employed.

Background: While great strides have been made in the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC), therapeutic resistance invariably occurs. A better understanding of the underlying resistance mechanisms is critical to enable durable control of this disease.
Methods: We performed whole exome sequencing (WES) and transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) on metastatic tumor biopsies from 88 patients with ER+ MBC who had developed resistance to one or more ER-directed therapies. For 27 of these patients, we sequenced the treatment-naïve primary tumors for comparison to the resistant specimens. Tumors were analyzed for point mutations, insertions/deletions, copy number alterations, translocations, and gene expression. Detailed clinicopathologic data was collected for each patient and linked to the genomic information.
Results: WES of all metastatic samples demonstrated several recurrently altered genes whose incidence differed significantly from primary, treatment-naïve ER+ breast cancers sequenced in the TCGA study (TCGA). These include ESR1 mutations (n=17, 19.3%; 32.86 fold enrichment, q.value<7.5e-12), CCND1 amplification (n=52, 59.1%; 2.3 fold enrichment, q.value<0.0073), and MAP2K4 biallelic inactivation (n=14, 15.9%; 3.04 fold enrichment, q.value< 0.054).
Comparing to matched primary samples from the same patient, many alterations were found to be acquired in several cases, including for ESR1, ERBB2, PIK3CA, PTEN, RB1, AKT1, and others. Initial analysis of RNA-seq data from metastatic samples (n=59) allowed classification of individual resistance mechanisms into broader resistance modes based on the observed transcriptional state.
Conclusions: We present a genomic landscape of resistant ER+ MBC using WES and RNA-seq. Multiple genes were recurrently altered in these tumors at significantly higher rates than in ER+ primary breast cancer. When compared with matched primary tumors from the same patient, alterations in these and other genes were often found to be acquired after treatment, suggesting a role in resistance to ER-directed therapies and/or metastasis. Potential resistance mechanisms appear to fall into several categories; integrating RNA-seq data may enhance the ability to identify these categories even when genomic alterations are not identified. Multiple clinically relevant genomic and molecular alterations are identified in metastatic biopsies– with implications for choice of next therapy, clinical trial eligibility, and novel drug targets.

Abstract
We tested (1) whether the PQRST method, involving Preview (P), Question (Q), Read (R), State (S), and Test (T) phases, is effective in enhancing long-term memory in patients with mild memory problems due to prefrontal cortex lesions, and (2) whether patients also benefit from a more self-initiated version of the PQRST. Seven patients with prefrontal lesions encoded new texts under three different conditions: the Standard condition, requiring to read texts repeatedly, the PQRST-Other condition, in which the experimenter formulated questions about the text (Q phase), and the PQRST-Self condition, in which patients formulated the relevant questions on their own. Compared to the Standard condition, both the PQRST-Other and the PQRST-Self condition resulted in higher immediate and delayed recall rates, as well as a higher ability to answer questions about the texts. Importantly, the two PQRST conditions did not differ in efficacy. These results confirm that the PQRST method is effective in improving learning of new material in brain-injured populations with mild memory problems. Moreover, they indicate that the PQRST proves effective even under conditions with higher demands on patients’ autonomy and self-initiation, which encourages its application to real-life situations.

Abstract
We report the case of an elderly woman with coronary heart disease and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. It could be hypothesized that the predisposing anatomic substrate for arrhythmogenesis in this patient derived from both age-related left atrial dilation and coexistent ischaemic heart disease. Unfortunately the usual antiarrhythmic therapy was unsafe or not feasible for this subject. Ranolazine 750 mg twice daily completely suppressed atrial fibrillation recurrences.

Abstract
Exploiting the intrinsic photosensitivity of TiO₂ nanoparticles, we demonstrated how ultraviolet (UV) pulsed laser irradiation of acrylate polymer nanocomposite solutions can separate the initial clusters of these colloidal semiconductor nanorods into clearly distinct units. From the irradiated solutions, optically clear nanocomposite films are obtained which exhibit enhanced optical properties with respect to the nanocomposites obtained without previous UV treatment.

Abstract
Lapatinib is approved in combination with capecitabine for treatment of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who have progressed on prior trastuzumab in the metastatic setting. Vinorelbine is an important chemotherapy option for MBC. We evaluated efficacy and safety of lapatinib plus vinorelbine, compared with lapatinib plus capecitabine, in women with HER2-positive MBC. In this open-label, multicenter, phase II study, eligible patients (N = 112) were randomized 2:1 to lapatinib plus vinorelbine [(N = 75) 1,250 mg orally once daily (QD) continuously plus 20 mg/m(2)/day intravenously] or lapatinib plus capecitabine [(N = 37) 1,250 mg orally QD continuously plus 2,000 mg/m(2)/day orally, 2 doses]. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Other endpoints included overall survival (OS) and safety. Patients progressing within the study were given the option of crossover to the other treatment arm; time to second progression was an exploratory endpoint. Patient demographics, stratification, and prognostic factors were well balanced between treatments. Median PFS in both arms was 6.2 months [95 % confidence interval (CI) 4.2, 8.8 (lapatinib plus vinorelbine); 4.4, 8.3 (lapatinib plus capecitabine)]. Median OS on lapatinib plus vinorelbine was 24.3 months (95 % CI 16.4, NE) and 19.4 months (95 % CI 16.4, 27.2) on lapatinib plus capecitabine. In total, 42 patients opted to cross over; median PFS was 3.2 months (95 % CI 1.7, 5.1) on lapatinib plus vinorelbine and 4.0 months (95 % CI 2.1, 5.8) on lapatinib plus capecitabine. Lapatinib plus vinorelbine offers an effective treatment option for patients with HER2-overexpressing MBC, having displayed comparable efficacy and tolerability rates to lapatinib plus capecitabine.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Limited information is available about the presence of tick-borne pathogens in urban parks in Italy. To fill this gap, ticks were collected in a public park in Rome over a 1-year period and screened by molecular methods for tick-borne pathogens. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION The most abundant tick species were Rhipicephalus turanicus and Ixodes ricinus. The predominant pathogens detected were Borrelia. burgdorferi sensu lato (36%), Rickettsia spp. (36%), and Coxiella burnetii (22%). Among less frequently detected pathogens, Babesia microti was detected for the first time in Italy, with a prevalence of 4%. Neither Bartonella spp. nor Francisella tularensis were detected. With regard to co-infections, the most frequent double and triple infections involved Rickettsia spp., B. burgdorferi sl., and C. burnetii.. A positive correlation was detected between pathogens and I. ricinus. Further studies are needed in order to assess risk associated with tick-borne pathogens in urban areas.

Abstract
Regular collections were obtained in the Natural Reserve of the Insugherata of Rome during 2011 in order to obtain the tick species composition and the respective seasonal dynamics of the area. A total of 325 ticks was collected in selected sites by means of drag sampling. Among the identified species, Rhipicephalus turanicus was the most abundant (72.3%), followed by Ixodes ricinus (19.7%), Dermacentor marginatus (6.5%), Haemaphysalis punctata (1.2%), and Rhipicephalus bursa (0.3%). R. turanicus occurred mainly in pastures, showing a mono-modal seasonal activity pattern from spring to early summer. Questing I. ricinus were prevalent in woodland from October to May, and the seasonal trend of specimens showed a weak peak in winter. Although adult D. marginatus exhibited seasonal dynamics similar to I. ricinus, with an activity period from October to April, this species occurred in a different environment (pasture) and with considerably lower densities. Haemaphysalis punctata and R. bursa were rare, with an apparent autumn and autumn-winter seasonal activity, respectively. While the species diversity recorded appears as an unequivocal consequence of the natural state of the park, the remarkable R. turanicus density could be a direct effect of the recent introduction of wild boar, as carriers, from the close Veio Park. The presence of the species, a proven vector of various diseases in humans and domestic animals, is discussed in the light of the possible risk of tick-bite exposure of park workers and visitors.

Abstract
530 Background: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study aimed to evaluate the clinical and biological effects of letrozole + lapatinib or placebo as neoadjuvant therapy in previously untreated hormone receptor positive/HER2 negative operable breast cancer. Methods: 92 postmenopausal patients with stage II-IIIA breast cancer were randomly assigned to 6 months letrozole-lapatinib (Arm A, n=43) or letrozole-placebo (Arm B, n= 49). Clinical response was evaluated according to RECIST. The following biomarkers were centrally evaluated by IHC on diagnostic core biopsy and on surgical specimens: HER2, Ki-67, EGFR, pAKT, PTEN. PIK3CA mutations were evaluated by pyrosequencing. Results: 81 patients were evaluable by USG, 8 were assessed with mammography and/or palpation. Three patients who discontinued therapy and withdrew consent were counted as non-responders according to the ITT analysis. No differences in terms of objective response rate (partial+complete response) were observed between the two arms (70% vs 63%). The percentage of patients achieving disease progression, disease stabilization, partial response and complete response were 2%, 23%, 58%, 12% respectively in the letrozole-lapatinib arm, and 6%, 29%, 61%, 2% respectively in the letrozole-placebo arm. No patients achieved pCR. All the patients were centrally confirmed as having HER2 negative disease. A significant decrease in Ki67 and pAKT expression from baseline to surgery was observed in both arms. A trend for a greater Ki67 suppression was observed in responding patients (mean Ki67 suppression -8.8 in responders vs -3.6 in non responders, p= 0.06). A mutation in PIK3CA exon 9 or 20 was observed in 37% of the patients. Overall, no differences in response were observed according to PIK3CA mutations, however, in the letrozole-lapatinib arm, the probability of achieving a clinical response was significantly higher in the PIK3CA mutation subgroup (ORR 93% vs 63% in PIK3CA WT, Pearson’s chi2 p=0.040). Conclusions: This is the first trial showing a significant correlation between PIK3CA mutation and response to letrozole-lapatinib in Hormone Receptor +/HER2- disease. Clinical trial information: NCT00422903.

Vinorelbine (V) is an important chemotherapy option in MBC. This randomized, open-label, multicenter phase II study (NCT01013740) evaluated the efficacy and safety of L with either V or C in women with HER2+ MBC. The analysis of progression-free survival (PFS) and safety showed comparable rates of efficacy and tolerability between the 2 arms (Janni et al, SABCS 2012). Here we report the results of the overall survival (OS) and crossover analyses. Methods: Patients with MBC who had received ≤1 chemotherapy regimen in the metastatic setting were randomized 2:1 to either L 1250 mg orally once daily (QD) continuously + V 20 mg/m2 intravenously on days 1 and 8, every 3 weeks, or L 1250 mg orally QD continuously + C 2000 mg/m2/day orally in 2 doses, 12 hours apart on days 1-14 every 3 weeks. Patients were stratified by prior receipt of therapy for MBC and site of metastatic disease. The primary endpoint was PFS. Other endpoints included OS, overall response rate and safety. Patients progressing on one treatment arm were given the option of crossover to the other arm. All analyses were conducted with a descriptive intent only. The control arm of L+C was included in the study design to validate the patient population and lend support to the activity of L+V. Results: 112 patients were randomized in the study; 37 to the L+C arm and 75 to the L+V arm. The median OS in the L+C arm was 19.4 months [95% CI: 16.4-27.2] and 24.3 months [95% CI: 16.4-NE] in the L+V arm. At the time of analysis 42 patients had crossed over; 29 patients to L+C and 13 to L+V. Median PFS after crossover was 4 months [95% CI: 2.1-5.8] in the L+C arm and 3.2 months [95% CI: 1.7-5.1] in the L+V arm. Conclusions: L+V has shown consistent median OS with that reported in the pivotal study of L+C. The exploratory analysis of patients retreated with L after progression on L supports the biological rationale for maintaining HER2 suppression in HER2+ patients with progression on prior lines of anti-HER2 agents. Clinical trial information: NCT01013740.

Abstract
635 Background: About a third of HER2-overexpressing (HER2+) breast cancer pts will develop brain metastases in the course of their disease. Drug access to normal brain and brain metastases is therefore key to prevention and treatment of cerebral metastases. To provide direct evidence of Lap drug access and evaluate whether therapeutic doses of Lap act as a substrate for efflux transporters, thereby increasing Lap concentrations, we performed positron emission tomography (PET) studies with [11C]Lap. Methods: Pts with HER2+ MBC with an ECOG of <3 were grouped into 2 cohorts: with at least one 1-cm diameter brain metastasis or without brain metastases and underwent 90-minute dynamic cranial PET-CT scans after IV administration of a microdose (<1 mg) of [11C]Lap before and after 8 days of oral Lap (1500 mg once daily). Arterial blood samples were performed to assess [11C]Lap radioactivity contribution in blood and plasma, and the fraction of plasma [11C] radioactivity corresponding to metabolites. Tissue time-radioactivity curves (TACs) were generated and [11C]Lap exposure (AUC; area under TAC) derived for normal brain and brain metastases. Signal dissection of the total image activity was performed to remove the contribution of blood volume to the image and the actual tissue contribution due to [11C]Lap obtained. Results: 6 pts (3 with brain metastasis) were recruited. Arterial plasma analysis revealed that [11C]Lap contributed to >80% of activity in plasma at 60 minutes. Tissue data revealed [11C]Lap signal in normal brain was low with no appreciable uptake observed when corrected for blood volume contribution. [11C]Lap uptake was higher in brain metastases compared with normal brain and appreciable, even after correction for tissue blood volume contribution. Uptake was also observed in extra-cranial normal tissue. There was no difference in [11C]Lap uptake in normal brain and metastases between treatment-naïve and post-treatment scans. Conclusions: [11C]Lap uptake in brain metastases was higher than in normal brain. [11C]Lap drug access to brain metastases might therefore indicate possible efficacy against HER2+ brain metastases. Clinical trial information: NCT01290354.

Abstract
Purpose This is a noncomparative, randomized, phase II trial of preoperative taxane-anthracycline in combination with trastuzumab, lapatinib, or combined trastuzumab plus lapatinib in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) –positive, stage II to IIIA operable breast cancer. The primary aim was to estimate the percentage of pathologic complete response (pCR; no invasive tumor in breast and axillary nodes). Patients and Methods In the three arms, chemotherapy consisted of weekly paclitaxel (80 mg/m2) for 12 weeks followed by fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide for four courses every 3 weeks. The patients randomly assigned to arm A received a 4-mg loading dose of trastuzumab followed by 2 mg weekly; in arm B patients received lapatinib 1,500 mg orally (PO) daily; and in arm C, patients received trastuzumab and lapatinib 1,000 mg PO daily. Results A total of 121 patients were randomly assigned. Diarrhea and dermatologic and hepatic toxicities were observed more frequently in patients receiving lapatinib. No episodes of congestive heart failure were observed. The rates of breast-conserving surgery were 66.7%, 57.9%, and 68.9% in arms A, B and C, respectively. The pCR rates were 25% (90% CI, 13.1% to 36.9%) in arm A, 26.3% (90% CI, 14.5% to 38.1%) in arm B, and 46.7% (90% CI, 34.4% to 58.9%) in arm C (exploratory P = .019). Conclusion The primary end point of the study was met, with a relative increase of 80% in the pCR rate achieved with chemotherapy plus trastuzumab and lapatinib compared with chemotherapy plus either trastuzumab or lapatinib. These data add further evidence supporting the superiority of a dual-HER2 inhibition for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer.

Abstract
6557 Background: To control costs while maintaining or improving the quality of patient care is challenging for physicians and health care managers. The problem has become critical in oncology, due to the increasing number of cancer cases and the recent availability of new drugs, with a dramatic rise in health care expenditure. Here we report the experience of our Medical Oncology Department, where centralization of chemotherapy (CT) manufacturing and development of a computerized physician order-entry (CPOE) system allowed an effective planning of CT services with a substantial waste minimization and a significant cost saving. Methods: Starting January 2005 we collected data about drug demand, real consuming and resulting wastes and quantified the economic value of drug leftovers. Finally, based on a web literature search and a survey among other Cancer Services, an internal protocol for waste limitation was developed. Main adopted measures were: 1) a rational, per pathology distribution of CT sessions over the week, allowing waste recovery while respecting drug stability; 2) the use of multi-dose vials, that maintain microbial and chemical stability for up to 28 days; 3) a reasonable dose rounding, to fit with available vial sizes/leftovers; 4) the selection of the most convenient vial size when more options are available. Results: The baseline analysis focused on 29 drugs over a 1-year period. Considering their price per milligram and the amount of wastes, we found that 74% of the expense was attributable to six compounds only (cetuximab, docetaxel, gemcitabine, oxaliplatin, pemetrexed and trastuzumab) and that the economic loss due to their waste equaled 4.5% of the annual drug expenditure. Following the application of the above listed measures, the monetary loss due to unused drugs showed an impressive 45% reduction throughout 2006. Conclusions: Our experience may represent an accessible model in addressing the issue of cost rising in oncology. A critical evaluation and planning of CT daily workload, provided by CPOE, and a multidisciplinary effort to pursue specific waste reduction strategies produce a relevant cost saving. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This phase 2 randomized study compared the toxicity and assessed the efficacy of gemcitabine-cisplatin (GP) and gemcitabine-carboplatin (GC) in patients with advanced transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium (TCC), with the main objective to demonstrate a reduction in toxicity of at least 25% in the GC arm. METHODS A total of 110 chemonaive patients (55 per arm) with locally advanced or metastatic TCC received gemcitabine 1250 mg/m(2) on days 1 and 8 plus cisplatin 70 mg/m(2) on day 2 (GP) every 3 wk or gemcitabine 1250 mg/m(2) on days 1 and 8 plus carboplatin AUC 5 on day 2 (GC) every 3 wk for a maximum of six cycles. RESULTS No differences between arms were noted in the overall toxicity profiles and any parameter of toxicity. The most frequent grade 3-4 hematologic toxicity was neutropenia in 34.6% of patients for GP and 45.4% for GC. The most frequent grade 3-4 nonhematologic toxicity was nausea and vomiting (GP: 9.1%; GC: 3.6%). Grade 1-2 nephrotoxicity occurred in 14 GP-treated patients (26.0%) and 9 GC-treated patients (16.3%). Per an intent-to-treat analysis, overall response, evaluated on 80 patients, was 49.1% for GP (CR: 14.5%; PR: 34.5%) and 40.0% for GC (CR: 1.8%; PR: 38.2%). Median time to progression was 8.3 mo for GP and 7.7 mo for GC. Median survival was 12.8 mo and 9.8 mo for GP and GC, respectively. CONCLUSIONS GC has a comparably acceptable toxicity profile compared with that of GP and seems active in patients with TCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gemcitabine is one of the most active drugs against non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Preclinical data suggested that gemcitabine efficacy could be improved by increasing the dose or by increasing the infusion duration. This study has been designed in order to explore two different approaches of gemcitabine dose intensification in patients with advanced NSCLC. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 121 chemonaive patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC not suitable for a platinum-based chemotherapy were randomly allocated to chemotherapy with gemcitabine 1500 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks by standard 30 min intravenous infusion (arm A), or gemcitabine 10 mg/m2/min for 150 min on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks by intravenous infusion at fixed dose rate (arm B). RESULTS One hundred and seventeen patients were fully analyzed. No difference in response rate (16.1% versus 9.9%, p=0.28), median time to disease progression (4 months versus 4.5 months, p=0.34) median survival (9.8 months in both arms), and 1-year survival (42.6% versus 39.0% p=0.98) was detected in arms A and B, respectively. No treatment-related deaths occurred. Main hematological toxicities were grade 3-4 neutropenia observed in 17.9% of patients in group A and in 49.2% of individuals in group B (p=0.0002). The incidence of febrile neutropenia was 3.3% in arm A and 0% in arm B (p=0.17). Grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia was more frequently observed in arm B patients (9.9% versus 1.8%, p=0.057). Non-hematological toxicity was similar in both arms, and consisted in grade 1-2 gastrointestinal toxicity observed in 48.2% of patients in arm A and 41.0% in arm B. CONCLUSION Intensification of standard doses or prolonged infusion schedule did not result in efficacy improvement. Gemcitabine infusion duration does not warrant further investigation in patients with advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
LY355703 is a synthetic product structurally related to the cryptophycin family isolated from the blue-green algae, which exerts a potent destabilization of microtubules during mitosis. This study was performed to determine the activity of LY355703 in patients with platinum-resistant advanced ovarian cancer and to characterize its toxicity profile. Twenty-six patients were enrolled in this study. Resistant disease was defined as a platinum-free interval of <6 months from primary treatment or rechallenge. LY355703 (1.5 mg/m(2)) was administered intravenously on days 1 and 8, every 3 weeks, infused over 2 h. From 24 patients evaluable for response, three partial responses (12.5%) and seven disease stabilizations were registered (29.2%), for an overall clinical benefit of 41.7%. Fourteen patients (58.3%) experienced a progression of the disease during treatment. Among the 25 patients evaluable for toxicity, two episodes of grade 3 anemia (8%); one, grade 3 thrombocytopenia (4%); one, grade 4 elevation of creatinine (4%); and one, grade 3 hyperbilirubinemia (4%) were reported. LY355703 has a modest activity in patients with platinum-resistant advanced ovarian cancer. Nevertheless, the considerable rate of disease stabilization in the absence of serious adverse events in this poor-prognosis study population suggests that this novel cryptophycin may deserve further investigation in this setting.
