Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study assessed the efficacy, safety, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of the treatment regimen of dostarlimab, a programmed death-1 inhibitor, combined with niraparib, a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor, in patients with BRCA wild type (BRCAwt) recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) who had previously received bevacizumab treatment. METHODS This Phase II, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study, conducted in the USA, enrolled patients with recurrent PROC to receive niraparib and dostarlimab until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (up to 3 years). A preplanned interim futility analysis was performed after the first 41 patients had undergone ≥1 radiographic evaluation (approximately 9 weeks from the first treatment). RESULTS The prespecified interim futility criterion was met and the study was therefore terminated. For the 41 patients assessed, the objective response rate (ORR) was 7.3% (95% confidence interval: 1.5-19.9); no patients achieved a complete response, 3 patients (7.3%) achieved a partial response (duration of response; 3.0, 3.8, and 9.2 months, respectively), and 9 patients (22.0%) had stable disease. In total, 39 patients (95.1%) experienced a treatment-related adverse event, but no new safety issues were observed. HRQoL, assessed using FOSI, or Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Ovarian Symptom Index scores, worsened over time compared with baseline scores. CONCLUSIONS The study was terminated due to the observed ORR at the interim futility analysis. This highlights a need for effective therapies in treating patients with recurrent BRCAwt PROC.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of pevonedistat, a neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down-regulated protein 8 (NEDD8)-activating enzyme inhibitor, on the heart rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval in cancer patients. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive pevonedistat 25 or 50 mg/m2 on day 1 and the alternate dose on day 8. Triplicate electrocardiograms were collected at intervals over 0-11 hours and at 24 hours via Holter recorders on days -1 (baseline), 1, and 8. Changes from time-matched baseline values were calculated for QTc by Fridericia (QTcF), PR, and QRS intervals. Serial time-matched blood samples for analysis of pevonedistat plasma pharmacokinetics were collected and a concentration-QTc analysis conducted. Safety was assessed by monitoring vital signs, physical examinations, and clinical laboratory tests. Forty-four patients were included in the QTc analysis. Maximum least square (LS) mean increase from time-matched baseline in QTcF was 3.2 milliseconds at 1 hour postdose for pevonedistat at 25 mg/m2 , while the LSs mean change from baseline in QTcF was -1.7 milliseconds 1 hour postdose at 50 mg/m2 . The maximum 2-sided 90% upper confidence bound was 6.7 and 2.9 milliseconds for pevonedistat at 25 and 50 mg/m2 , respectively. Pevonedistat did not result in clinically relevant effects on heart rate, nor on PR or QRS intervals. Results from pevonedistat concentration-QTc analysis were consistent with these findings. Administration of pevonedistat to cancer patients at a dose of up to 50 mg/m2 showed no evidence of QT prolongation, indicative of the lack of clinically meaningful effects on cardiac repolarization. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03330106 (first registered on November 6, 2017).

Abstract
5573 Background: PROC is poorly responsive to anticancer therapy. PARP inhibitors such as niraparib may increase neoantigen load and synergize with anti-PD-1 agents. TOPACIO reported a preliminary objective response rate (ORR: 18%) and disease control rate (DCR: 65%) to niraparib + pembrolizumab in pts with OC of any BRCA status. MOONSTONE sought to determine efficacy in pts without BRCA mutation ( BRCAm). Methods: In this phase 2 open-label, single-arm study, eligible pts received 1–3 prior lines of therapy including platinum, taxane, and bevacizumab, had RECIST v1.1 radiographic progression within 6 mo of last platinum line and had no known germline BRCAm. Pts were treated with niraparib 300/200 mg PO daily (based on weight/platelets) and 500 mg dostarlimab IV Q3W (cycles 1–4) followed by 1000 mg Q6W until disease progression, toxicity or consent withdrawal. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive status was determined by Ventana SP263 assay using visually-estimated combined positive score ≥5%. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed ORR per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), DCR, and safety. Futility was prespecified as ≤5 responses in the first 40 pts. Results: At interim analysis (data cutoff Oct 6, 2021), 41 pts were enrolled; median age was 65.0 y (range 35–77). At baseline, 8 (20%)/22 (54%)/11 (27%) pts had received 1/2/3 prior lines of therapy, respectively; 26 (63%) pts had primary resistance to platinum therapy and 15 (37%) were sensitive to first platinum treatment. Overall, tumors were PD-L1+/PD-L1–/unknown in 13 (32%)/25 (61%)/3 (7%), respectively. Efficacy results are shown in the Table. Treatment-related adverse events were reported in 95% of pts, most commonly nausea (56%), fatigue (34%), vomiting (32%), and anemia (29%). Conclusions: PROC remains difficult to treat; the ORR observed with niraparib + dostarlimab did not reach the threshold for 2nd-stage accrual in this cohort of pts with PROC, no known BRCAm, and prior bevacizumab treatment. PD-L1 status did not predict response; HRD testing is in process. Although DCR was 29%, futility was declared based on low ORR. The safety of the combination was similar to the safety profile of each monotherapy. Clinical trial information: NCT03955471. [Table: see text]

Abstract
The failure rate for phase III trials in oncology is high; quantitative predictive approaches are needed. We developed a model‐based meta‐analysis (MBMA) framework to predict progression‐free survival (PFS) from overall response rates (ORR) in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), using data from seven phase III trials. A Bayesian analysis was used to predict the probability of technical success (PTS) for achieving desired phase III PFS targets based on phase II ORR data. The model demonstrated a strongly correlated (R2 = 0.84) linear relationship between ORR and median PFS. As a representative application of the framework, MBMA predicted that an ORR of ∼66% would be needed in a phase II study of 50 patients to achieve a target median PFS of 13.5 months in a phase III study. This model can be used to help estimate PTS to achieve gold‐standard targets in a target product profile, thereby enabling objectively informed decision‐making.

Abstract
SUMMARY Two male first cousins with mild haemophilia A had baseline factor VIII levels of 12-15% and experienced bleeding requiring coagulation factor infusion therapy with trauma and surgical procedures. Both the patients with haemophilia A also had electrocardiographically documented symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) for several years that had become resistant to pharmacological suppression. Radiofrequency ablation was considered in both the cases but deferred considering refusal of consent by the patients to undergo the procedure. Remission of arrhythmias has been reported in patients with iron-overload syndromes. Body iron stores assessed by serum ferritin levels were elevated in both men but neither had the C282Y or H63D genes for haemochromatosis. Calibrated reduction of iron stores by serial phlebotomy, avoiding iron deficiency, was followed by remission of symptomatic PAF in both cases. Iron reduction may be an effective treatment for arrhythmias apart from the classic iron-overload syndromes and deserves further study particularly in patients with bleeding disorders who might be at risk for arrhythmias and other diseases of ageing.

Abstract
15527 Background: ACC is a rare malignancy with a very poor prognosis. Surgery is the only potential curative option. Gefitinib is an oral EGFR inhibitor that may have activity in solid tumors that express EGFR. ACC over expresses EGFR in a high proportion of cases. Methods: From April 2004 through December 2006, the ACC Working Group conducted a phase II trial of Gefitinib as second line, monotherapy in patients with pathologically confirmed unresectable ACC who had progressed on mitotane or chemotherapy. All prior systemic therapy was discontinued 28 days prior to starting gefitinib. Patients were ineligible if: had received prior therapy with any EGFR inhibitor, pregnant or breast feeding, had other co-existing malignancies (other than basal cell carcinoma or cervical cancer in situ), had an ECOG PS > 2, absolute neutrophil counts < 1,500, or platelets < 20,000. Patients were not allowed concomitant use of phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampicin, barbiturates, or St John’s Wort. Patients took gefitinib 250 mg orally once a day. Each cycle was 21 days with radiological assessment every 6 weeks.Response rate as determined by RECIST criteria was the primary endpoint. Results: 19 patients accrued to the study (18 with measurable disease and 1 without). Pt Characteristics: Female 79% (15/19); Median age 48 (range 26–74); 84% (12 female and 4 male =15/19) of the patients had steroid secreting tumors. Grade 3 toxicity was noted in 2 patients and included, hypertension and lower extremity edema and elevated liver transaminases. No grade 4 toxicities occurred. Of 19 patients evaluable, there were no complete responders, partial responders or patients with stable disease (0% response rate; 95% CI: 0%-18%). Conclusions: Gefitinib demonstrated no activity in patients with unresectable ACC. This study is now closed. This study demonstrated the ability to successfully accrue to a trial of novel agents in rare tumors in a multicenter setting. [Table: see text]

Abstract
Using a standard radio-receptor assay, we have demonstrated that [125I]insulin can bind specifically to each of two types of purified enveloped viruses, influenza A virus and Rous sarcoma virus. A non-enveloped icosahedral virus (echovirus 11) and herpes simplex virus type 2, which acquires its envelope from the nuclear membrane of the cell, did not possess insulin receptor activity. Displacement of specifically bound radiolabelled insulin from the viral surface was achieved by addition of an excess of unlabelled insulin but not by addition of another unrelated protein, cytochrome C. We conclude that certain types of enveloped viruses may acquire insulin binding sites from the plasma membrane of their host cell.
