Abstract
BACKGROUND A history of pre-administration of immune checkpoint inhibitors has been reported to be associated with good outcomes of ramucirumab (RAM) plus docetaxel (DOC) combination therapy for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, existing knowledge on the clinical significance of RAM and DOC following combined chemoimmunotherapy is limited. Therefore, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of RAM plus DOC therapy after combined chemoimmunotherapy and attempted to identify the predictors of its outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS This multicenter, prospective study investigated the efficacy and safety of RAM plus DOC after combined chemoimmunotherapy. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were the objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), and incidence of adverse events. An exploratory analysis measured serum cytokine levels at the start of treatment. RESULTS Overall, 44 patients were enrolled from 10 Japanese institutions between April 2020 and June 2022. The median PFS and OS were 6.3 and 22.6 months, respectively. Furthermore, the ORR and DCR were 36.4% and 72.7%, respectively. The high vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) group had a significantly shorter PFS and OS. A combination of high VEGF-A and low VEGF-D levels was associated with a longer PFS. CONCLUSION Our results showed that RAM plus DOC after combined chemoimmunotherapy might be an effective and relatively feasible second-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC in a real-world setting.

Abstract
Recently, novel Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) inhibitors have been clinically developed to treat KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, achieving complete tumor remission is challenging. Therefore, the optimal combined therapeutic intervention with KRAS G12C inhibitors has a potentially crucial role in the clinical outcomes of patients. We investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms of adaptive resistance to KRAS G12C inhibitors in KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC cells to devise a strategy preventing drug-tolerant cell emergence. We demonstrate that AXL signaling led to the adaptive resistance to KRAS G12C inhibitors in KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC, activation of which is induced by GAS6 production via YAP. AXL inhibition reduced the viability of AXL-overexpressing KRAS G12C-mutated lung cancer cells by enhancing KRAS G12C inhibition-induced apoptosis. In xenograft models of AXL-overexpressing KRAS G12C-mutated lung cancer treated with KRAS G12C inhibitors, initial combination therapy with AXL inhibitor markedly delayed tumor regrowth compared with KRAS G12C inhibitor alone or with the combination after acquired resistance to KRAS G12C inhibitor. These results indicated pivotal roles for the YAP-GAS6-AXL axis and its inhibition in the intrinsic resistance to KRAS G12C inhibitor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Combination therapy with docetaxel (DTX) and ramucirumab (RAM) has been used as a second-line treatment for advanced or recurrent lung cancer. However, there is insufficient evidence regarding the safety of angiogenesis inhibitors in older patients. OBJECTIVE This multicenter retrospective study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of second-line treatment regimens in older patients with advanced or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 145 patients aged ≥ 70 years with advanced or recurrent NSCLC treated with second-line chemotherapy after platinum-based therapy between April 1, 2016, and March 31, 2021. Patients were subdivided into the DTX + RAM (n = 38) and single-agent (n = 107) groups. RESULTS The median time to treatment failure was 6.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.6-9.6) in the DTX + RAM group and 2.3 months (95% CI 1.7-3.0) in the single-agent group (p < 0.01). The median overall survival was 15.9 months (95% CI 12.3-Not Achieved) in the DTX + RAM group and 9.4 months (95% CI 6.9-15.1) in the single-agent group (p = 0.01). Grade ≥ 3 adverse events frequency was not significantly different between the two groups, except for edema. Patients in the DTX + RAM group who did not discontinue treatment owing to adverse events exhibited the most favorable prognosis. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the DTX + RAM combination is an effective second-line therapy for older patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC, offering favorable efficacy without treatment discontinuation owing to adverse events.

Abstract
Driver oncogenes are investigated upfront at diagnosis using multi-CDx systems with next-generation sequencing techniques or multiplex reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assays. Additionally, from 2019, comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) assays have been available in Japan for patients with advanced solid tumors who had completed or were expected to complete standard chemotherapy. These assays are expected to comprehensively detect the driver oncogenes, especially for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there are no reports of nationwide research on the detection of driver oncogenes in patients with advanced NSCLC who undergo CGP assays, especially in those with undetected driver oncogenes at diagnosis. In this study, we investigated the proportion of driver oncogenes detected in patients with advanced NSCLC with undetectable driver oncogenes at initial diagnosis and in all patients with advanced NSCLC who underwent CGP assays. We retrospectively analyzed data from 986 patients with advanced NSCLC who underwent CGP assays between August 2019 and March 2022, using the Center for Cancer Genomics and Advanced Therapeutics database. The proportion of driver oncogenes newly detected in patients with NSCLC who tested negative for driver oncogenes at diagnosis and in all patients with NSCLC were investigated. Driver oncogenes were detected in 451 patients (45.7%). EGFR was the most common (16.5%), followed by KRAS (14.5%). Among the 330 patients with undetected EGFR, ALK, ROS1, and BRAF V600E mutations at diagnosis, 81 patients (24.5%) had newly identified driver oncogenes. CGP assays could be useful to identify driver oncogenes in patients with advanced NSCLC, including those initially undetected, facilitating personalized treatment.

Abstract
Introduction Multiple programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry assays performed using different antibodies including DAKO 22C3, DAKO 28-8, and Ventana SP142 PD-L1-predictive markers for response to various immune checkpoint inhibitors in NSCLC-have been approved in several countries. The differences in multiple PD-L1 immunohistochemistry assay results in predicting the therapeutic response to combined chemoimmunotherapy in patients with NSCLC remain unclear. Methods In this multicenter prospective observational study, we monitored 70 patients with advanced NSCLC treated with combined chemoimmunotherapy at 10 institutions in Japan. The expression of PD-L1 in pretreatment tumors was evaluated using the 22C3, 28-8, and SP142 assays in all patients. Results The PD-L1 level in tumor cells determined using the 22C3 assay was the highest among the three assays performed with different antibodies. According to the 22C3 assay results, the PD-L1 tumor proportion score greater than or equal to 50% group had a significantly longer progression-free survival period than the PD-L1 tumor proportion score less than 50% group. Nevertheless, the other assays did not reveal remarkable differences in the objective response rate or progression-free survival. Conclusions In our study, PD-L1 expression determined using the 22C3 assay was more correlated with the therapeutic response of patients with NSCLC treated with combined chemoimmunotherapy than that determined using the 28-8 and SP142 assays. Therefore, the 22C3 assay may be useful for clinical decision-making for patients with NSCLC treated with combined chemoimmunotherapy. Trial registration number: UMIN 000043958.

Abstract
Introduction The proportion of older patients diagnosed with advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been increasing. Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy (MONO) and combination therapy of ICI and chemotherapy (COMBO) are standard treatments for patients with NSCLC and programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) tumor proportion scores (TPS) ≥ 50%. However, evidence from the clinical trials specifically for older patients is limited. Thus, it is unclear which older patients benefit more from COMBO than MONO. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 199 older NSCLC patients of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) 0-1 and PD-L1 TPS ≥ 50% who were treated with MONO or COMBO. We analyzed the association between treatment outcomes and baseline patient characteristics in each group, using propensity score matching. Results Of the 199 patients, 131 received MONO, and 68 received COMBO. The median overall survival (OS; MONO: 25.2 vs. COMBO: 42.2 months, P = 0.116) and median progression-free survival (PFS; 10.9 vs. 11.8 months, P = 0.231) did not significantly differ between MONO and COMBO group. In the MONO group, OS was significantly shorter in patients without smoking history compared to those with smoking history [HR for smoking history against non-smoking history: 0.36 (95% CI: 0.16-0.78), P = 0.010]. In the COMBO group, OS was significantly shorter in patients with PS 1 than those with PS 0 [HR for PS 0 against PS 1: 3.84 (95% CI: 1.44-10.20), P = 0.007] and for patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SQ) compared to non-squamous cell carcinoma (non-SQ) [HR for SQ against non-SQ: 0.17 (95% CI: 0.06-0.44), P < 0.001]. For patients with ECOG PS 0 (OS: 26.1 months vs. not reached, P = 0.0031, PFS: 6.5 vs. 21.7 months, P = 0.0436) or non-SQ (OS: 23.8 months vs. not reached, P = 0.0038, PFS: 10.9 vs. 17.3 months, P = 0.0383), PFS and OS were significantly longer in the COMBO group. Conclusions ECOG PS and histological type should be considered when choosing MONO or COMBO treatment in older patients with NSCLC and PD-L1 TPS ≥ 50%.

Abstract
Few treatment options exist for pleural mesothelioma (PM), which is a progressive malignant tumor. However, the efficacy of molecular-targeted monotherapy is limited, and further therapeutic strategies are warranted to treat PM. Recently, the cancer cell-cycle checkpoint inhibitors have attracted attention because they disrupt cell-cycle regulation. Here, we aimed to establish a novel combinational therapeutic strategy to inhibit the cell-cycle checkpoint kinase, ATR in PM cells. The siRNA screening assay showed that anexelekto (AXL) knockdown enhanced cell growth inhibition when exposed to ATR inhibitors, demonstrating the synergistic effects of the ATR and AXL combination in some PM cells. The AXL and ATR inhibitor combination increased cell apoptosis via the Bim protein and suppressed cell migration when compared with each monotherapy. The combined therapeutic targeting of AXL and ATR significantly delayed regrowth compared with monotherapy. Thus, optimal AXL and ATR inhibition may potentially improve the PM outcome.

Abstract
During the novel coronavirus outbreak and vaccine development, antibody production garnered major focus as the primary immunogenic response. However, cellular immunity's recent demonstration of comparable or greater significance in controlling infection demands the re-evaluation of the importance of T-cell immunity in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here, we developed a novel assay, the ex vivo activation of genes in leukocytes (EAGL), which employs short-term whole blood stimulation with the LeukoComplete™ system, to measure ex vivo SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell responses (cellular immunity). This assay measures upregulated mRNA expression related to leukocyte activation 4 h after antigen stimulation. LeukoComplete™ system uses whole blood samples, eliminating the need for pretreatment before analysis. Furthermore, this system's high reproducibility is ensured through a series of operations from mRNA extraction to cDNA synthesis on a 96-well plate. In the performance evaluation using fresh blood from previously SARS-CoV-2-infected and COVID-19-vaccinated individuals, the EAGL assay had a comparable sensitivity and specificity to the ELISpot assay (EAGL: 1.000/1.000; ELISpot: 0.900/0.973). As a simple, high-throughput assay, the EAGL assay is also a quantitative test that is useful in studies with large sample numbers, such as monitoring new vaccine efficacies against novel coronaviruses or epidemiologic studies that require cellular immune testing during viral infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy and ICI plus chemotherapy are approved first-line treatments for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) expressing high levels of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). However, appropriate treatment for patients showing high PD-L1 expression and poor performance status (PS) is not well defined. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify a treatment option that is better for these patients in a real-world setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 425 patients with NSCLC and high PD-L1 expression were included retrospectively. All patients received either pembrolizumab monotherapy or ICI plus chemotherapy as the first-line treatment. Patients were subdivided into good (PS score 0 or 1; n = 354) and poor PS groups (PS score 2 or 3; n = 71). Early progressive disease (PD) was defined as PD within 3 months of ICI-based therapy initiation. RESULTS The good PS group had significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) than the poor PS group upon ICI-based therapy administration. In the poor PS group, no significant difference was observed in PFS and OS between pembrolizumab monotherapy and ICI plus chemotherapy. In the good PS group, pembrolizumab monotherapy, PD-L1 50-89%, and liver metastasis were associated with early PD, as determined using multivariate logistic regression analyses. However, in the poor PS group, the multivariate logistic regression analyses did not show an association between pembrolizumab monotherapy and early PD. CONCLUSIONS In patients with NSCLC exhibiting poor PS and high PD-L1 expression, ICI plus chemotherapy did not confer PFS or OS benefit compared with pembrolizumab monotherapy.

Abstract
The T2K experiment presents new measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters using 19.7 ( 16.3 ) × 10 20 protons on target (POT) in (anti-)neutrino mode at the far detector (FD). Compared to the previous analysis, an additional 4.7 × 10 20 POT neutrino data was collected at the FD. Significant improvements were made to the analysis methodology, with the near-detector analysis introducing new selections and using more than double the data. Additionally, this is the first T2K oscillation analysis to use NA61/SHINE data on a replica of the T2K target to tune the neutrino flux model, and the neutrino interaction model was improved to include new nuclear effects and calculations. Frequentist and Bayesian analyses are presented, including results on sin 2 θ 13 and the impact of priors on the δ CP measurement. Both analyses prefer the normal mass ordering and upper octant of sin 2 θ 23 with a nearly maximally CP-violating phase. Assuming the normal ordering and using the constraint on sin 2 θ 13 from reactors, sin 2 θ 23 = 0 . 561 - 0.032 + 0.021 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and Δ m 32 2 = 2 . 494 - 0.058 + 0.041 × 10 - 3 eV 2 using constant Δ χ 2 intervals. The CP-violating phase is constrained to δ CP = - 1 . 97 - 0.70 + 0.97 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and δ CP = 0 , π is excluded at more than 90% confidence level. A Jarlskog invariant of zero is excluded at more than 2 σ credible level using a flat prior in δ CP , and just below 2 σ using a flat prior in sin δ CP . When the external constraint on sin 2 θ 13 is removed, sin 2 θ 13 = 28 . 0 - 6.5 + 2.8 × 10 - 3 , in agreement with measurements from reactor experiments. These results are consistent with previous T2K analyses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osimertinib monotherapy is a common treatment for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, standard treatment strategies for acquired resistance to this drug have not been established. In addition, the clinical significance of first-generation (1G) or second-generation (2G) EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC and osimertinib resistance has not yet been fully evaluated. OBJECTIVE We aimed to conduct a prospective multicenter observational study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 1G and 2G EGFR-TKIs after the development of osimertinib resistance. METHODS Patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC who received 1G or 2G EGFR-TKIs after developing resistance to osimertinib monotherapy were prospectively assessed at eight institutions in Japan. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS A total of 29 patients with advanced or recurrent EGFR-mutant NSCLC were analyzed. The objective response and disease control rates were 6.9% (2/29) and 58.6% (17/29), respectively. The median PFS was 1.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.3-5.3]. There was no significant difference in PFS between the 1G and 2G EGFR-TKI groups (3.7 versus 1.5 months, log-rank test p = 0.20). However, patients with normal cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1) and pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP) levels experienced longer PFS than those with elevated CYFRA 21-1 and/or ProGRP (5.5 versus 1.3 months, log-rank test p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Administration of 1G or 2G EGFR-TKIs after the development of osimertinib resistance has limited efficacy in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Moreover, normal CYFRA 21-1 and ProGRP levels could be promising indicators for 1G and 2G EGFR-TKI administration after osimertinib resistance development. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER UMIN000044049.

Predictive Value of Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score and Persistent Inflammation among Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated with Durvalumab Consolidation after Chemoradiotherapy: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Durvalumab consolidation after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is a standard treatment for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, studies on immunological and nutritional markers to predict progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) are inadequate. Systemic inflammation causes cancer cachexia and negatively affects immunotherapy efficacy, which also reflects survival outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively investigated 126 patients from seven institutes in Japan. RESULTS The modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) values, before and after CRT, were the essential predictors among the evaluated indices. A systemic inflammation-based prognostic risk classification was created by combining mGPS values before CRT, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels after CRT, to distinguish tumor-derived inflammation from CRT-induced inflammation. Patients were classified into high-risk (n = 31) and low-risk (n = 95) groups, and the high-risk group had a significantly shorter median PFS of 7.2 months and an OS of 19.6 months compared with the low-risk group. The hazard ratios for PFS and OS were 2.47 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.46-4.19, p < 0.001) and 3.62 (95% CI: 1.79-7.33, p < 0.001), respectively. This association was also observed in the subgroup with programmed cell death ligand 1 expression of ≥50%, but not in the <50% subgroup. Furthermore, durvalumab discontinuation was observed more frequently in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group. CONCLUSION Combining pre-CRT mGPS values with post-CRT CRP levels in patients with locally advanced NSCLC helps to predict the PFS and OS of durvalumab consolidation after CRT.

Abstract
Importance Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy with pembrolizumab and ICI plus chemotherapy have been approved as first-line treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for patients with a programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) tumor proportion score (TPS) of 50% or more, but the choice between these 2 therapeutic options is unclear. Objective To clarify the association of a history of concurrent medication use with treatment outcomes for ICIs with or without chemotherapy in patients with NSCLC with a high PD-L1 TPS and to determine whether these clinical histories are biomarkers for appropriate treatment selection. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective, multicenter cohort study at 13 hospitals in Japan included patients with advanced NSCLC with a PD-L1 TPS of 50% or more who had received pembrolizumab ICI monotherapy or ICI plus chemotherapy as the initial treatment between March 2017 and December 2020. The median (IQR) follow-up duration was 18.5 (9.2-31.2) months. Data were analyzed from April 2022 through May 2023. Exposure ICI monotherapy with pembrolizumab or ICI plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary analysis was the association of treatment outcomes with baseline patient characteristics, including concomitant drug history, after propensity score matching. Cox proportional hazard models were used to determine the associations of patient characteristics with survival outcomes. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association of concomitant medication history with treatment outcomes and other patient characteristics. Results A total of 425 patients with NSCLC were enrolled in the study including 271 patients (median [range] age, 72 [43-90] years; 215 [79%] men) who were treated with pembrolizumab monotherapy as the first-line treatment and 154 patients (median [range] age, 69 [36-86] years; 121 [79%] men) who were treated with ICI plus chemotherapy as the first-line treatment. In multivariable analysis, a history of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use was independently associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) in the pembrolizumab monotherapy group (hazard ratio [HR], 1.38; 95% CI, 1.00-1.91; P = .048), but not in the ICI plus chemotherapy group. In patients with a PPI history, both the median (IQR) PFS (19.3 [9.0 to not reached] months vs 5.7 [2.4 to 15.2] months; HR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.20-0.72; P = .002) and the median (IQR) overall survival (not reached [9.0 months to not reached) vs 18.4 [10.5 to 50.0] months; HR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.20-0.92; P = .03) were significantly longer in the ICI plus chemotherapy group than in the pembrolizumab monotherapy group. In patients without a history of PPI use, both the median (IQR) PFS (18.8 months [6.6 months to not reached] vs 10.6 months [2.7 months to not reached]; HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.56-1.17; P = .26) and the median (IQR) overall survival (not reached [12.6 months to not reached] vs 29.9 [13.3 to 54.3] months, HR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.48-1.18; P = .21) did not differ between groups. Conclusions and Relevance This cohort study found that a history of PPI use could be an important clinical factor in treatment decision-making for patients with NSCLC with a PD-L1 TPS of 50% or more.

Abstract
Since its verification in 2019, there have been numerous high-profile papers reporting improved efficiency of lithium-mediated electrochemical nitrogen reduction to make ammonia. However, the literature lacks any coherent investigation systematically linking bulk electrolyte properties to electrochemical performance and Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) properties. In this study, we discover that the salt concentration has a remarkable effect on electrolyte stability: at concentrations of 0.6 M LiClO4 and above the electrode potential is stable for at least 12 hours at an applied current density of -2 mA cm-2 at ambient temperature and pressure. Conversely, at the lower concentrations explored in prior studies, the potential required to maintain a given N2 reduction current increased by 8 V within a period of 1 hour under the same conditions. The behaviour is linked more coordination of the salt anion and cation with increasing salt concentration in the electrolyte observed via Raman spectroscopy. Time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveal a more inorganic, and therefore more stable, SEI layer is formed with increasing salt concentration. A drop in faradaic efficiency for nitrogen reduction is seen at concentrations higher than 0.6 M LiClO4, which is attributed to a combination of a decrease in nitrogen solubility and diffusivity as well as increased SEI conductivity as measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

Abstract
We have developed a fluorinated 2,6-xylenesulfonyl group (fluorinated xysyl, fXs) as a protective group for amines. The sulfonyl group could be attached to amines by reactions with the corresponding sulfonyl chloride, and survived various conditions, including acidic, basic, and even reductive conditions. The fXs group could be cleaved by treatment with a thiolate under mild conditions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Early diagnosis and appropriate infection control are important to prevent the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In this study, we aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen detection (RAD) tests and the factors that cause nonspecific reactions. METHODS Nasopharyngeal swab specimens (n = 100), sputum specimens (n = 10), and lithium-heparin plasma samples (n = 100) were collected. We evaluated Espline®SARS-CoV-2 (Espline) and SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Test that also known as STANDARD Q® (STANDARD Q), with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Lumipulse® Presto SARS-CoV-2 Ag as reference tests. In addition, we investigated the effects of inadequate pretreatment methods and five potential causes of nonspecific reactions. RESULTS The sensitivities of Espline and STANDARD Q were 60% and 57%, respectively, and their specificity was 100%. It was confirmed that the judgment line for the positive insufficiently mixed specimens was faint. A false-positive result was observed with STANDARD Q when sputum was used as a specimen to investigate judgment the effect of viscosity. CONCLUSIONS Espline and STANDARD Q show good sensitivity for specimens with Ct values less than 25, but specimens collected within 9 days of symptom onset may still give false negatives. The test should be performed carefully, and the results should be judged comprehensively, taking into account clinical symptoms and patient background.

Abstract
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors rarely elicit complete responses in patients with advanced ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as a small population of tumor cells survives due to adaptive resistance. Therefore, we focused on the mechanisms underlying adaptive resistance to lorlatinib and therapeutic strategies required to overcome them. We found that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling was involved in the adaptive resistance to lorlatinib in ALK-rearranged NSCLC, activation of which was induced by heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor production via c-Jun activation. EGFR inhibition halted ALK-rearranged lung cancer cell proliferation by enhancing ALK inhibition-induced apoptosis via suppression of Bcl-xL. Xenograft models showed that the combination of EGFR inhibitor and lorlatinib considerably suppressed tumor regrowth following cessation of these treatments. This study provides new insights regarding tumor evolution due to EGFR signaling after lorlatinib treatment and the development of combined therapeutic strategies for ALK-rearranged lung cancer.

Abstract
Understanding the T-cell responses involved in inhibiting COVID-19 severity is crucial for developing new therapeutic and vaccine strategies. Here, we characterized SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific CD8+ T cells in vaccinees longitudinally. The BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine can induce spike-specific CD8+ T cells cross-reacting to BA.1, whereas the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire usages decreased with time. Furthermore the mRNA vaccine induced spike-specific CD8+ T cells subpopulation expressing Granzyme A (GZMA), Granzyme B (GZMB) and Perforin simultaneously in healthy donors at 4 weeks after the second vaccination. The induced subpopulation was not maintained at 12 weeks after the second vaccination. Incorporating factors that efficiently induce CD8+ T cells with highly cytotoxic activity could improve future vaccine efficacy against such variants.

Abstract
For non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, the initial therapeutic interventions will have crucial impacts on their clinical outcomes. Drug tolerant factors reportedly have an impact on EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor sensitivity. This prospective study investigated the impacts of drug tolerant-related protein expression in tumors based on the efficacy of osimertinib in the first-setting of EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC patients. A total of 92 patients with EGFR-mutated advanced or postoperative recurrent NSCLC were analyzed and treated with osimertinib at 14 institutions in Japan. AXL, p53, and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in patient tumors was determined using immunohistochemistry. The AXL signaling pathway was investigated using a cell line-based assay and AXL-related gene expression in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. High levels of AXL and positive-p53 expression were detected in 26.1% and 53.3% of the pretreatment EGFR-mutated NSCLC tumors, respectively. High AXL expression levels were significantly associated with a shorter progression-free survival compared with low AXL expression levels, irrespective of the EGFR activating mutation status (p = 0.026). Cell line-based assays indicated that the overexpression of AXL protein accelerated PD-L1 expression, which induced insensitivity to osimertinib. In the TCGA database, AXL RNA levels were positively correlated with PD-L1 expression in the lung adenocarcinoma cohort. The results show that high AXL expression levels in tumors impact clinical predictions when using osimertinib to treat EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients. Trial Registration: UMIN000043942.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Compared to nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS), there has been insufficient evaluation of the diagnostic performance of nasal swabs (NS) for the detection of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) and quantitative SARS-CoV-2 antigen test (QAT). METHODS We prospectively compared healthcare worker-collected and flocked NS within nine days after symptom onset to paired NPS to detect SARS-CoV-2 in NAAT and QAT on the fully automated Lumipulse system. The agreement between sample types was evaluated, and cycle threshold (Ct) values and antigen levels were used as surrogate viral load measures. RESULTS Sixty sets of NPS and NS samples were collected from 40 patients with COVID-19. The overall agreements between NAAT and QAT samples were 76.7% and 65.0%, respectively. In NAAT, the Ct value of NS was significantly higher, 5.9, than that of NPS. Thirty-nine (95.1%) NS tested positive in 41 positive-paired NPS with Ct ≤ 30. The negative correlation was observed between antigen levels of NS in QAT and Ct values of NS in NAAT (r = -0.88). In QAT, the antigen level of NS was significantly lower than that of NPS. Thirty-six (90.0%) NS tested positive in 40 positive-paired NPS with antigen levels >100 pg/mL, which were collected significantly earlier than those with antigen levels ≤100 pg/mL. CONCLUSIONS In NAAT and QAT, NS had limited performance in detecting SARS-CoV-2 compared to NPS. However, NS may be helpful for patients with COVID-19 with high viral loads or those in the early stages of the illness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no standard therapy for hemodialysis (HD) patients with COVID-19. Data on remdesivir in HD patients with COVID-19 are scarce. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 25 HD patients with COVID-19 treated with remdesivir. RESULTS The median age of the patients was 78 years (range, 45-92 years) and was predominantly male (84%). A total of 44% of the patients had mild disease, 36% had moderate-1, and 20% had moderate-2. The most common symptoms were fever (76%) and coughing (44%). The most common comorbidity was renal failure (100%), followed by hypertension (60%) and cardiac disease (44%). The most frequent biomarker was elevated creatinine (100%), followed by C-reactive protein (80%), lymphopenia (76%), and D-dimer (68%). C-reactive protein levels decreased significantly before and after remdesivir administration (p < 0.001). Two patients showed deterioration, but none died. All patients recovered from COVID-19 and no adverse effects of treatment with remdesivir were observed. CONCLUSION Our study suggests the safe use of remdesivir in HD patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
IL-17 plays important roles in host defense against Candida albicans at barrier surfaces and during invasive infection. However, the role of IL-17 in host defense after colonization of the epidermis, a main site of C. albicans infection, remains poorly understood. Using a murine model of epicutaneous candidiasis without skin abrasion, we found that skin inflammation triggered by epidermal C. albicans colonization was self-limiting with fungal clearance completed by day 7 after inoculation in wild-type mice or animals deficient in IL-17A or IL-17F. In contrast, marked neutrophilic inflammation in the epidermis and impaired fungal clearance were observed in mice lacking both IL-17A and IL-17F. Clearance of C. albicans was independent of Dectin-1, Dectin-2, CARD9 (caspase-recruitment domain family, member 9), TLR2 (Toll-like receptor 2) and MyD88 in the epidermal colonization model. We found that group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) and γδT cells were the major IL-17 producers in the epicutaneous candidiasis model. Analyses of Rag2-/- mice and Rag2-/-Il2rg-/- mice revealed that production of IL-17A and IL-17F by ILC3s was sufficient for C. albicans clearance. Finally, we found that depletion of neutrophils impaired C. albicans clearance in the epidermal colonization model. Taken together, these findings indicate a critical and redundant function of IL-17A and IL-17F produced by ILC3s in host defense against C. albicans in the epidermis. The results also suggest that epidermal C. albicans clearance is independent of innate immune receptors or that these receptors act redundantly in fungal recognition and clearance.

Abstract
We evaluated the optimal timing of saliva sample collection to diagnose the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We obtained 150 saliva samples at four specific time points from 13 patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. The time points were (1) early morning (immediately after waking), (2) immediately after breakfast before tooth brushing, (3) 2 h after breakfast, and (4) before lunch. On the 2nd hospital day, patients collected saliva at the four time points by themselves. We collected samples at two time points, (1) and (3), from the 3rd hospital day to day 9 following symptom onset. In 52 samples collected at the four time points, there was no significant difference. Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in the positive proportion or the viral load between the two time points in both analyses by the day from symptom onset and by all samples. In this study, there was no difference in the positive proportions in saliva collected at various time points within 9 days after symptom onset. The timing of saliva collection was not affected by the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
BackgroundIn clinical practice for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the concept of “treat to target” has been introduced with an established goal of reducing glucocorticoid dose as much as possible while controlling disease activity. Although it has been shown that various personality characteristics of patients with SLE affect their disease activity and damage, it is not clear whether the personality characteristics of attending physicians affect the outcomes of patients with SLE. Grit is a personality trait characterized by perseverance and passion for achieving long-term goals.ObjectivesThis study aims to evaluate the relationship between attending physicians’ grit personality characteristics and treatment goal achievements in patients with SLE.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 386 patients with SLE in five referral hospitals in Japan. The main exposure was the “perseverance” and “consistency” (scores 1-5) of the attending physicians, as measured by the Short Grit Scale, and the primary outcome was the achievement of the Lupus Low Disease Activity Score (LLDAS). Considering the clustering of achievement of LLDAS by each attending physician, the association between attending physician’s personality and LLDAS was analyzed by logistic regression with cluster robust variance estimation. Odds ratios to assess the relationship between perseverance and consistency and LLDAS were estimated with adjustment for confounders (age, sex, disease duration, hydroxychloroquine use, immunosuppressant use, and Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics-Damage Index). We used multiple imputation to handle the uncertainty caused by missing values of potential confounders on the assumption of missing at random.ResultsThe median age of the patients was 45 years (interquartile range[IQR],36-56), 88% were female, and the median disease duration was 152 months(IQR, 80-240). Thirty-seven doctors were in charge of the patients (1-79 patients/each doctor). The median age of the attending physicians was 40 years (IQR, 35-43), and 19% were female. The median perseverance and consistency scores of attending physicians were 3.1 (IQR, 3.0-3.5) and 3.3 (IQR, 2.8-3.8), respectively. Of the enrolled patients, 154 (40%) had achieved LLDAS. The attending physicians with a lower consistency score of <3 were more frequent in the patients who achieved LLDAS (40% vs. 29%, p=0.026). The lower consistency score of attending physicians was still related to LLDAS independently (adjusted odds ratio 1.63, 95% confidential interval 1.17-2.27). There was no association between the achievement of LLDAS and perseverance.ConclusionThe grit personality characteristics of the attending physician may affect the achievement of treatment goals in patients with SLE.Disclosure of InterestsKEN-EI SADA Speakers bureau: I received speaker’s fees from Glaxo Smith Kline K.K., Grant/research support from: I received a research grant from Pfizer Inc., Yoshia Miyawaki: None declared, Kenta Shidahara: None declared, Shoichi Nawachi: None declared, Yu Katayama: None declared, Yosuke ASANO: None declared, Keigo Hayashi: None declared, Keiji Ohashi: None declared, Eri Katsuyama: None declared, Takayuki Katsuyama: None declared, Mariko Narazaki: None declared, Yoshinori Matsumoto: None declared, Nao Oguro: None declared, Yuichi Ishikawa: None declared, Natsuki Sakurai: None declared, Chiharu Hidekawa: None declared, Ryusuke Yoshimi: None declared, Takanori Ichikawa: None declared, Dai Kishida: None declared, Yasuhiro Shimojima: None declared, Noriaki Kurita: None declared, Nobuyuki Yajima: None declared

Abstract
BackgroundThe minimally important difference (MID) required to interpret the magnitude of changes in lupus patient-reported outcome (LupusPRO), which is a widely used outcome measure of quality of life in SLE patients, remains unclear.ObjectivesWe report preliminary results of an ongoing prospective observational study that assesses the MID as the interpretability of emotional health (EH) domain in Japanese version of LupusPRO.MethodsWe recruited subjects at three university hospitals in Japan participating in an ongoing multidisciplinary cohort study (the Lupus registry of Nationwide institutions (LUNA). Of a total of 210 SLE patients enrolled during the 17-month recruitment period, patients with low disease activity, defined as SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) ≤ 4, and who were seen at least twice of three months’ duration and responded to both the LupusPRO and health status change questions were included in this subcohort. The second questionnaire was given an allowance period of 30 days before or after the three months from starting date. Descriptive statistics were presented as means and standard deviations (SD) or counts and percentages (%). The emotional health score ranges from 0 to 100; a higher score indicates less frequent presence of symptoms. The change in health status was assessed using the 7-point Global Rating of Change 1), and the score = 0 and the score ≥ +1 were considered in the ‘unchanged’ and the minimal ‘improved’ category, respectively. MID was mainly estimated using the mean change of the groups with the score ≥ +1 as the anchor-based method, and the area under the curve (AUC) was also calculated as a sensitivity analysis to estimate MID thresholds 2) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were constructed using 1000 bootstrapping.ResultsThe mean age of the 24 eligible patients was 48 (SD 14), and 88% were female. The glucocorticoid dose, SLEDAI-2K, and Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics /American College of Rheumatology Damage Index were 3.4 (2.1) mg, 1.0 (1.1) and 1.1 (1.9), respectively. The mean EH score was 67.5 (30.3), five patients (21%) had the maximum EH score at baseline, 73.4 (25.0) after three months, 7.2 (18.0) for the change in EH. The correlation coefficient and the AUC for the change in health status and the EH were 0.23 and 0.60. The mean changes were 4.1 (18.4) of the groups with ‘unchanged’ health status and 12.3 (17.1) of the groups with ‘improved’ health status. The MID for improvement was estimated at 12.3 using the anchor-based method, and the cutoff point corresponded to 9.3 [95%CI -6.7 to 25.3]) of the EH change score by the receiver operating curve method.ConclusionIn this study, the MID (3 months) for the EH domain in the Japanese version of LupusPRO was estimated to be between 9 and 12, which was similar to the results of the previous cross-sectional study 3). The challenge in estimating the MID in our setting was the low correlation with external anchors, even though the study population was limited to patients with low disease activity, because disease activity at baseline can generally influence ‘improved’ health status.References[1]Kamper SJ, Maher CG, Mackay G.

Abstract
Combination therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors and cytotoxic chemotherapies (chemoimmunotherapy) is associated with significantly better survival outcomes than cytotoxic chemotherapies alone in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there are no prognostic markers for chemoimmunotherapy. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and lung immune prognostic index (LIPI) are prognostic biomarkers for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy or cytotoxic chemotherapies. Thus, we aimed to examine whether these factors could also be prognostic markers for chemoimmunotherapy. We retrospectively examined 237 patients with advanced NSCLC treated with chemoimmunotherapy. In the total group, the median overall survival (OS) was not reached, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.6 months. Multivariate analysis of OS and PFS revealed significant differences based on PNI and LIPI. Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) was also significantly associated with OS and PFS. PNI and a PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) of <50% and poor LIPI (regardless of PD-L1 TPS) were associated with poor prognosis. PNI and LIPI predicted survival outcomes in patients with advanced NSCLC treated with chemoimmunotherapy, especially in patients with PD-L1 TPS <50%. For patients in this poor category, chemoimmunotherapy may result in a worse prognosis than expected.

Abstract
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs) have shown dramatic efficacy in patients with ALK-rearranged lung cancer; however, complete response in these patients is rare. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the emergence and maintenance of drug-tolerant cells in ALK-rearranged lung cancer. Cell based-assays demonstrated that HER3 activation and mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition, mediated through ZEB1 proteins, help maintain cell survival and induce the emergence of ALK-TKI-tolerant cells. Compared with ALK-TKIs alone, cotreatment with pan-HER inhibitor afatinib and ALK-TKIs prevented tumor regrowth, leading to the eradication of tumors in ALK-rearranged tumors with mesenchymal features. Moreover, pre-treatment vimentin expression in clinical specimens obtained from patients with ALK-rearranged lung cancer was associated with poor ALK-TKI treatment outcomes. These results demonstrated that HER3 activation plays a pivotal role in the emergence of ALK-TKI-tolerant cells. Furthermore, the inhibition of HER3 signals combined with ALK-TKIs dramatically improves treatment outcomes for ALK-rearranged lung cancer with mesenchymal features.

Abstract
EGFR‐T790M mutation is a major mechanism underlying acquired resistance to first‐ and second‐generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR‐TKIs) in lung cancer with mutated EGFR. However, differences in the biological characteristics of T790M tumors based on treatment regimens with each generation of EGFR‐TKI are not fully understood. We established cell lines with acquired resistance harboring EGFR‐T790M mutation derived from xenograft tumors treated with each generation of EGFR‐TKI and examined their biological characteristics with respect to third‐generation EGFR‐TKI osimertinib sensitivity. Second‐generation EGFR‐TKI dacomitinib‐resistant cells with T790M‐exhibited higher sensitivity to osimertinib than first‐generation EGFR‐TKI gefitinib‐resistant cells with T790M via inhibition of AKT and ERK signaling and promotion of apoptosis. Furthermore, gefitinib‐resistant cells showed enhanced intratumor heterogeneity accompanied by genomic instability and activation of alternative resistance mechanisms compared with dacomitinib‐resistant cells; this suggests that the maintenance of EGFR dependency after acquiring resistance might depend on the type of EGFR‐TKI. Our results demonstrate that the progression of tumor heterogeneity via both genetic and non‐genetic mechanisms might affect osimertinib sensitivity in tumors with acquired resistance harboring EGFR‐T790M mutation.

Abstract
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs) have improved clinical outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring ALK- rearrangements. However, a small population of tumor cells survives due to adaptive resistance under drug pressure and ultimately acquires drug resistance. Thus, it is necessary to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the prevention of drug resistance to improve the prognosis of patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC. We identified novel adaptive resistance, generated through c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/c-Jun signaling, to initial ALK-TKIs-alectinib and brigatinib-in ALK-rearranged NSCLC. Inhibition of JNK/c-Jun axis showed suppression of growth and promotion of apoptosis induced by ALK-TKIs in drug-tolerant cells. JNK inhibition, in combination with the use of ALK-TKIs, increased cell apoptosis through repression of the Bcl-xL proteins, compared with ALK-TKI monotherapy. Importantly, combination therapy targeting JNK and ALK significantly delayed the regrowth following cessation of these treatments. Together, our results demonstrated that JNK pathway activation plays a pivotal role in the intrinsic resistance to ALK-TKIs and the emergence of ALK-TKI-tolerant cells in ALK-rearranged NSCLC, thus indicating that optimal inhibition of tolerant signals combined with ALK-TKIs may potentially improve the outcome of ALK-rearranged NSCLC.

Abstract
Several clinical manifestations of COVID-19 have been reported in the literature since then. In addition to upper respiratory symptoms, dysgeusia and anosmia are relatively common neurological manifestations with COVID-19. We had five cases of hiccups in succession; therefore, we assume that hiccups might be a specific symptom of COVID-19. We retrospectively analyzed 46 patients with COVID-19 diagnosed from February 2021 to May 2021. Among the 46 patients, 5 developed hiccups (11%). All patients were male. The median age of was 56 years. None of the patients were smokers. Further, all patients exhibited pneumonia without dysgeusia or anosmia. The median onset of hiccups was 5 days after diagnosis, with a median duration of 2 days. All patients recovered from hiccups and COVID-19. Hiccups might be a specific neurological symptom in male patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
Background In the resting conditions, narrowing the window of coronary pressure measurements from the whole cardiac cycle to diastole improves diagnostic performance of coronary pressure–derived physiological index. However, whether this also applies to the hyperemic conditions has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Objectives The purpose of this study was to assess whether diastolic fractional flow reserve (diastolic FFR) has better diagnostic performance in identifying ischemia-causing coronary lesions than conventional FFR in a prospective, multicenter, and independent core laboratory–based environment. Methods In this prospective multicenter registry at 29 Japanese centers, we compared the diagnostic performance of FFR, diastolic FFR, resting distal to aortic coronary pressure (Pd/Pa), and diastolic pressure ratio (dPR) using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) as the reference standard in 378 patients with single-vessel coronary disease. Results Inducible myocardial ischemia was found on MPS in the relevant myocardial territory of the target vessel in 85 patients (22%). In the receiver-operating curve analyses, diastolic FFR had comparable area under the curve (AUC) compared with FFR (AUCdiastolic FFR: 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.58-0.73, vs AUCFFR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.58-0.74, P = 0.624). FFR and diastolic FFR showed significantly larger AUCs than resting Pd/Pa (0.62; 95% CI: 0.54-0.70; P = 0.033 and P = 0.046) but did not show significantly larger AUCs than dPR (0.62; 95% CI: 0.55-0.70; P = 0.102 and P = 0.113). Conclusions Diastolic FFR showed a similar diagnostic performance to FFR as compared with MPS. This result reaffirms the use of FFR as the most accurate invasive physiological lesion assessment.

Abstract
Red face was seen in three patients with COVID-19. Red face may reflect a cytokine storm. Red face may be predictive of a sudden deterioration.
Japan is currently suffering the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the dominant type being SARS-CoV-2 alpha variant. Patients with COVID-19 variant types show more aggressive symptoms. In the present study, three patients developed a red face during treatment. Two of them suddenly worsened shortly after. We assumed that the red face reflected a cytokine storm and conjectured that it may be a specific sign of variant type COVID-19, because we have never seen it in patients with non-variant type. Moreover, we believe that red face may be predictive of a sudden deterioration.

Abstract
Introduction Highly sensitive reagents for detecting SARS-CoV-2 antigens have been developed for accurate and rapid diagnosis till date. In this study, we aim to clarify the frequency of false-positive reactions and reveal their details in SARS-CoV-2 quantitative antigen test using an automated laboratory device. Methods Nasopharyngeal swab samples (n = 4992) and saliva samples (n = 5430) were collected. We measured their SARS-CoV-2 antigen using Lumipulse® Presto SARS-CoV-2 Ag and performed a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) using the Ampdirect™ 2019 Novel Coronavirus Detection Kit as needed. The results obtained from each detection test were compared accordingly. Results There were 304 nasopharyngeal samples and 114 saliva samples were positive in the Lumipulse® Presto SARS-CoV-2 Ag test. All positive nasopharyngeal samples in the antigen test were also positive for NAAT. In contrast, only three (2.6%) of all the positive saliva samples in the antigen test were negative for NAAT. One showed no linearity with a dilute solution in the dilution test. Additionally, the quantitative antigen levels of all the three samples did not decrease after reaction with the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody. Conclusions The judgment difference between the quantitative antigen test and NAAT seemed to be caused by non-specific reactions in the antigen test. Although the high positive and negative predictive value of this quantitative antigen test could be confirmed, we should consider the possibility of false-positives caused by non-specific reactions and understand the characteristics of antigen testing. We recommend that repeating centrifugation before measurement, especially in saliva samples, should be performed appropriately.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is commonly associated with colonization by Staphylococcus aureus in the affected skin. To understand the role of S. aureus in the development of AD, we performed whole-genome sequencing of S. aureus strains isolated from the cheek skin of 268 Japanese infants 1 and 6 months after birth. About 45% of infants were colonized with S. aureus at 1 month regardless of AD outcome. In contrast, skin colonization by S. aureus at 6 months of age increased the risk of developing AD. Acquisition of dysfunctional mutations in the S. aureus Agr quorum-sensing (QS) system was primarily observed in strains from 6-month-old infants who did not develop AD. Expression of a functional Agr system in S. aureus was required for epidermal colonization and the induction of AD-like inflammation in mice. Thus, retention of functional S. aureus agr virulence during infancy is associated with pathogen skin colonization and the development of AD.

Abstract
Existing methods to measure high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) subclasses (HDL2-C and HDL3-C) are complex and require proficiency, and thus there is a need for a convenient, homogeneous assay to determine HDL-C subclasses in serum. Here, cholesterol reactivities in lipoprotein fractions [HDL2, HDL3, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)] toward polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified enzymes were determined in the presence of varying concentrations of dextran sulfate and magnesium nitrate. Particle sizes formed in the lipoprotein fractions were measured by dynamic light scattering. We optimized the concentrations of dextran sulfate and magnesium nitrate before assay with PEG-modified enzymes to provide selectivity for HDL3-C. On addition of dextran sulfate and magnesium nitrate, the sizes of particles of HDL2, LDL, and VLDL increased, but the size of HDL3 fraction particles remained constant, allowing only HDL3-C to participate in coupled reactions with the PEG-modified enzymes. In serum from both healthy volunteers and patients with type 2 diabetes, a good correlation was observed between the proposed assay and ultracentrifugation in the determination of HDL-C subclasses. The assay proposed here enables convenient and accurate determination of HDL-C subclasses in serum on a general automatic analyzer and enables low-cost routine diagnosis without preprocessing.

Abstract
Aims:
HDL particles have various anti-atherogenic functions, whereas HDL from atherosclerotic patients was demonstrated to be dysfunctional. One possible mechanism for the formation of dysfunctional HDL is the oxidation of its components. However, oxidized HDLs (Ox-HDLs) remain to be well investigated due to lack of reliable assay systems.
Methods:
We have developed a novel sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for Ox-HDL by using the FOH1a/DLH3 antibody, which can specifically recognize oxidized phosphatidylcholine, a major component of HDL phospholipid (HDL-PL). We defined forced oxidation of 1 mg/L HDL-PL as 1 U/L Ox-HDL. We assessed serum Ox-HDL levels of normolipidemic healthy subjects (
n
=94) and dyslipidemic patients (
n
=177).
Results:
The coefficients of variation of within-run and between-run assays were 12.5% and 13.5%. In healthy subjects, serum Ox-HDL levels were 28.5±5.0 (mean±SD) U/L. As Ox-HDL levels were moderately correlated with HDL-PL (r=0.59), we also evaluated the Ox-HDL/HDL-PL ratio, which represents the proportion of oxidized phospholipids in HDL particles. In dyslipidemic patients, Ox-HDL levels were highly variable and ranged from 7.2 to 62.1U/L, and were extremely high (50.4±13.3U/L) especially in patients with hyperalphalipoproteinemia due to cholesteryl ester transfer protein deficiency. Regarding patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, those treated with probucol, which is a potent anti-oxidative and anti-hyperlipidemic drug, showed significantly lower Ox-HDL (16.2±5.8 vs. 30.2±5.4,
p
<0.001) and Ox-HDL/HDL-PL ratios (0.200±0.035 vs. 0.229±0.031,
p
=0.015) than those without probucol.
Conclusion:
We have established a novel sandwich ELISA for Ox-HDL, which might be a useful and easy strategy to evaluate HDL functionality, although the comparison study between this Ox-HDL ELISA and the assay of HDL cholesterol efflux capacity remains to be done. Our results indicated that probucol treatment may be associated with lower Ox-HDL levels.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy, including atezolizumab monotherapy, is a promising alternative strategy for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Several inflammatory indices have been reported as potential biomarkers regarding the effectiveness of various treatments. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of atezolizumab monotherapy using baseline inflammatory markers in NSCLC patients. We retrospectively enrolled 81 NSCLC patients who received atezolizumab monotherapy at six different medical institutions in Japan. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the impact of the clinical variables, including inflammatory indexes, on clinical outcomes. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 60 days and 252 days, respectively. The objective response rate was 7.4%, and the disease control rate was 54.3%. Patients with high neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), low lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR), and/or high platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), at baseline, demonstrated substantially shorter PFS and OS compared to those with a low NLR, high LMR, and/or low PLR. The multivariate analysis demonstrated that a high baseline NLR was substantially associated with short PFS and short OS. Our retrospective observations suggest that inflammatory indices may be a potential negative prognostic factor of atezolizumab monotherapy outcomes in NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Background:Osteoporosis is one of the most important adverse effects of glucocorticoids in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Because osteoporosis is accelerated by chronic kidney disease (CKD), more attention should be paid to the treatment for osteoporosis in SLE patients with CKD. Many treatment options for osteoporosis have emerged recently, but treatment status in patients with SLE is not elucidated.Objectives:The purpose of this study is to elucidate the treatment status for osteoporosis in patients with SLE among the CKD stages.Methods:Using data from lupus registry of nationwide institutions (LUNA), a cross-sectional analysis was performed. We firstly described treatment status for osteoporosis in all enrolled patients. Secondary, treatment status for osteoporosis was compared among CKD stages. Finally, bone damage in Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology Damage Index (SDI) was compared among CKD stages.Results:The median age (interquartile range [IQR]) of enrolled 917 patients was 44 (34- 57) years and 809 patients (88%) were female. CKD stages were follows: CKD stage 1, 234 (26%); CKD stage 2, 465 (51%); CKD stage 3, 189 (21%); CKD stage 4, 9 (1%); CKD stage 5, 16 (2%). Median (IQR) age, female sex, and median (IQR) previous maximum dose of prednisolone in patients with and without CKD (≥CKD stage 3) were 56 (46.5-66) and 41 (32-50), 191 (89%) and 615 (88%), and 40 (30-60) and 40 (30-55) mg/day, respectively. Bisphosphonate was administered in 388 (42%) patients, vitamin D supplements in 448 (49%), Ca supplements in 36 (4%), denosumab in 20 (2%) and teriparatide in 14 (2%), respectively. Of enrolled patients, any treatment for osteoporosis was not administered in 226 (25%) patients. In spite of more frequent bone damage in patients with CKD compared to those without CKD (15% vs 10%, p=0.036), treatment status did not differ between patients with and without CKD (bisphosphonate: 41% vs 46%, p=0.29; vitamin D supplements: 50% vs 44%, p=0.14).Conclusion:About a quarter of patients with SLE did not take any treatment for osteoporosis. Treatment for osteoporosis might be strengthened to prevent bone damage in SLE patients with CKD.Disclosure of Interests:KEN-EI SADA Speakers bureau: I received speaker’s fee from GSK and Astra Zeneca K.K., Keigo Hayashi: None declared, Yosuke ASANO: None declared, Yu Katayama: None declared, Sumie Hiramatsu Asano: None declared, Keiji Ohashi: None declared, Michiko Morishita: None declared, Haruki Watanabe: None declared, Mariko Narazaki: None declared, Yoshinori Matsumoto: None declared, Nobuyuki Yajima: None declared, Ryusuke Yoshimi: None declared, Yasuhiro Shimojima: None declared, Shigeru Ono: None declared, Hiroshi Kajiyama: None declared, Kunihiro Ichinose: None declared, Shuzo Sato: None declared, Michio Fujiwara: None declared, Jun Wada: None declared

Abstract
PURPOSE Currently, an optimal therapeutic strategy comprising molecularly targeted agents for treating EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with acquired resistance to osimertinib is not available. Therefore, the initial therapeutic intervention is crucial for the prolonged survival of these patients. The activation of anexelekto (AXL) signaling is known to be associated with intrinsic and acquired resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). In this study, we investigated the best therapeutic strategy to combat AXL-induced tolerance to EGFR-TKIs using the novel AXL inhibitor ONO-7475. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We examined the efficacy of ONO-7475 in combination with EGFR-TKIs in EGFR-mutated NSCLC cells using in vitro and in vivo experiments. We investigated the correlation between AXL expression in tumors and clinical outcomes with osimertinib for EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients with acquired resistance to initial EGFR-TKIs. RESULTS ONO-7475 sensitized AXL-overexpressing EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells to the EGFR-TKIs osimertinib and dacomitinib. In addition, ONO-7475 suppressed the emergence and maintenance of EGFR-TKI-tolerant cells. In the cell line-derived xenograft models of AXL-overexpressing EGFR-mutated lung cancer treated with osimertinib, initial combination therapy of ONO-7475 and osimertinib markedly regressed tumors and delayed tumor regrowth compared with osimertinib alone or the combination after acquired resistance to osimertinib. AXL expression in EGFR-TKI refractory tumors did not correlate with the sensitivity of osimertinib. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that ONO-7475 suppresses the emergence and maintenance of tolerant cells to the initial EGFR-TKIs, osimertinib or dacomitinib, in AXL-overexpressing EGFR-mutated NSCLC cells, suggesting that ONO-7475 and osimertinib is a highly potent combination for initial treatment.

Abstract
Little is known regarding the effectiveness and tolerability of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) rechallenge after disease progression following initial ICI treatments. To identify eligible patients for ICI rechallenge, we retrospectively analyzed the relationship between clinical profiles and the effect of ICI rechallenge in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We enrolled 35 NSCLC patients at six different institutions who were retreated with ICIs after discontinued initial ICI treatments due to disease progression. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the impact of clinical profiles on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Median PFS and OS were 81 d (95% confidence interval, CI, 41-112 d) and 225 d (95% CI 106-361 d), respectively. The objective response rate was 2.9%, and the disease control rate was 42.9%. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Score (ECOG-PS) ≥ 2 (hazard ratio, HR, 2.38; 95% CI 1.03-5.52; p = 0.043) and body mass index (BMI) > 20 (HR 0.43, 95% CI 0.19-0.95, p = 0.036) were significantly associated with PFS of ICI rechallenge. Our observations suggest that poor ECOG-PS and low BMI at intervention with ICI rechallenge may be negative predictors for ICI rechallenge treatment in patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
Background Cancer immunotherapy is being developed as a promising alternative for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, novel biomarkers are required to select patients that will benefit from treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for a long period of time. The gut microbiome is expected to be a promising biomarker of ICI response owing to the regulation of the immune status within the host. Methods In this retrospective study, we included 17 Japanese patients with advanced NSCLC who were treated with ICIs for >3 months in our hospital. Fecal samples obtained from the patients during ICI treatment were analyzed by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. We examined the correlation between the diversity of the gut microbiome and treatment with ICIs. Results Several bacterial species were more abundant in ICI responders than in non-responders. Patients with abundant Lactobacillus and Clostridium tended to have a longer time to treatment failure (TTF) after receiving ICI than those with a lower abundance. Conclusions In conclusion, the composition of the gut microbiome is associated with better clinical benefits from ICI treatment in Japanese patients with NSCLC. A further large-scale study is warranted to validate the composition of the gut microbiome as a novel clinical factor influencing the response to ICIs for an extended time in NSCLC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cholesterol crystals (CCs) are well recognized as one of important components of advanced atherosclerotic plaques. Whilethe consensus document for intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) has proposed that CCs are appeared as thin, linear regions of high-signal intensity within a plaque, no study has validated CCs assessment by OCT in comparison with histopathology.
Purpose
Thepurpose of this study was to validate OCT assessments of CCs with histopathology.
Methods
A total of 27 diseased coronary artery samples (10–20 mm length) were resected from 7 randomly selected cadavers. OCT imaging was performed for the samples. Then, arterial samples were fixed in 10% formalin for ≥48 hours, decalcified and processed for standard paraffin embedding. Sections 5μm thick were sliced at the ink-marked imaging sites and stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and Masson's Trichrome. An independent pathologist blinded to the OCT results diagnosed all of the plaques. Subsequently, the OCT images were interpreted by an observer blinded to the histological results. In the OCT assessment, CCs were defined as thin, linear regions of high-signal intensity within a plaque.
Results
We obtained 27 pairs of OCT/ histopathology. CCs were diagnosed by histology in 10 (37%) of the 27 pairs. The sensitivity and specificity of OCT for detecting CCs were 60% and 94%, respectively.
Conclusion
OCT has a high specificity but modest sensitivity for detection of CCs in comparison with histopathology. CCs diagnosed with OCT would help the identification of advanced atherosclerotic plaques.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
While plaque rupture (PR) is the leading cause of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), other etiologies are also involved in the onset of AMI. Cholesterol crystals (CCs) are usually present abundantly in atherosclerotic plaques, especially in the culprit site of AMI. However, the relationship between in vivo CCs and PR is unclear. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging technique that allows for the in vivo identification of various plaque characteristics including PR and CCs.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate prevalence and distribution of CCs between patients with AMI with PR, AMI without PR, and SAP.
Method
This study consisted of 146 patients with coronary artery disease (AMI with PR; n=64, AMI without PR; n=41, and SAP; n=41) who underwent OCT prior to percutaneous coronary intervention. Plaque characteristics in OCT images were assessed according to the consensus document. We classified the distribution of CCs as follows; superficial type CCs were defined by any of the CCs invading the fibrous cap and remaining CCs as deep type CCs.
Result
There was no statistical difference in clinical characteristics among the three groups. The % diameter stenosis was significantly smaller in the SAP group than others (AMI with PR 91±12% vs. AMI without PR 86±13% vs. SAP 65±9%, p<0.001). The prevalence of CCs was significantly higher in the AMI with PR group than others (AMI with PR 78% vs. AMI without PR 41% vs. SAP 39%, p<0.001). The prevalence of superficial type CCs was significantly different among the groups (AMI with PR 72% vs. AMI without PR 24% vs. SAP 7%, p<0.001). Multivariable logistic analysis demonstrated that lipid plaque (OR 84.5, 95% CI [6.30–11332.33], p<0.001) and superficial type CC (OR 9.5, 95% CI [2.61–34.89], p<0.001) were independent predictors of PR.
Conclusion
Plaque with CCs invading the fibrous cap is frequently associated with PR in patients with AMI, suggesting. In vivo CC detection is a new morphological feature for plaque rupture.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
This study sought to investigate the ability of near-infrared spectroscopy intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS) to differentiate among plaque rupture (PR), plaque erosion (PE), and calcified nodule (CN) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using an optical coherence tomography (OCT) diagnosis as a reference standard.
Background
In vivo, precise differentiation among PR, PE and CN is a major challenge for intravascular imaging.
Methods
The study enrolled 156 AMI patients who had a de novo culprit lesion in a native coronary artery. The culprit lesions were assessed by both NIRS-IVUS and OCT.
Results
OCT identified 112 PR, 29 PE, and 15 CN. IVUS-detected plaque ulceration showed a high specificity (100%) to identify OCT-PR although the sensitivity (62%) was intermediate. IVUS-detected convex calcium showed a high sensitivity (93%) and specificity (100%) to identify OCT-CN. In NIRS, the maximum lipid core burden index in 4 mm (maxLCBI4mm) was greatest in OCT-PR (values are median [interquartile range]) (671 [530 to 853]), followed by OCT-CN (355 [303 to 432]) and OCT-PE (283 [89 to 357]) (p<0.001). MaxLCBI4mm of <422 was the best cut-off to discriminate OCT-PE from OCT-PR and OCT-CN. The NIRS-IVUS classification algorithm using plaque ulceration, convex calcium, and maxLCBI4mm <422 showed a sensitivity and specificity of 96% and 95% for identifying OCT-PR, 93% and 95% for OCT-PE, and 93% and 100% for OCT-CN, respectively.
NIRS-IVUS classification algorism
Conclusion
Lipid component assessed by NIRS-IVUS was different among OCT-PR, OCT-PE and OCT-CN. The NIRS-IVUS classification algorism was highly sensitive and specific for differentiating these unstable lesion types in AMI.

Abstract
A 49-year-old woman with an abnormal shadow on her chest X-ray visited our hospital. Chest computed tomography revealed a 13-mm diameter nodule in S9 on the right and a 47-mm diameter mass in segment (S) 1 + 2 on the left. She underwent transbronchial biopsy, which revealed that both tumours had the same histology of papillary adenocarcinoma. The indications of radical surgery differ between metastatic and multiple primary cancers; however, the epidermal growth factor receptor mutation screenings turned out to be discordant, with exon 19 deletion in the right and exon 21 L858R mutation in the left tumour. This is the first case report of a pre-operative diagnosis of multiple primary adenocarcinomas eligible for radical surgery. Thorough assessment is recommended in cases wherein the differential diagnosis is considered to be a factor for surgical indication. Genetic screening provides additional diagnostic information despite the presence of tumours manifesting the same histological type.
