Abstract
PURPOSE Tiragolumab is an immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody targeting the immune checkpoint T cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor ITIM domains. Targeting multiple immune pathways may improve anti-tumor responses. The phase I YP42514 study assessed the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and preliminary efficacy of tiragolumab plus atezolizumab in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors. METHODS Adult patients from mainland China with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score 0/1, life expectancy of ≥ 12 weeks, and adequate hematologic/end organ function were eligible. Patients received tiragolumab 600 mg and atezolizumab 1200 mg intravenous every 3 weeks. Key endpoints were PK (serum concentrations of tiragolumab and atezolizumab) and safety. Results from this study were compared with the global phase I study, GO30103 (NCT02794571). RESULTS In this study, 20 patients received a median of five doses of tiragolumab plus atezolizumab. Median age was 57.5 years, 85.0% of patients were male and the most common tumor type was non-small cell lung cancer. Exposures in Chinese patients were comparable to the global GO30103 population: geometric mean ratio was 1.07 for Cycle 1 tiragolumab area under the concentration-time curve0-21 and 0.92 and 0.93 for Cycle 1 peak and trough atezolizumab exposure, respectively. Treatment-related adverse events were consistent across the Chinese and global populations. Two patients (10.0%) in this study achieved a partial response. CONCLUSION In this study, tiragolumab plus atezolizumab was tolerable and demonstrated preliminary anti-tumor activity. There were no meaningful differences in the PK or safety of tiragolumab plus atezolizumab between the Chinese and global populations. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER China Clinical Trial Registry Identifier CTR20210219/YP42514. Date of registration 16 March 2021.

Comparison of two-stage and joint TGI-OS modeling using data from six atezolizumab clinical studies in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. CPT Pharmacometrics Syst Pharmacol 2024; 13:68-78. [PMID: 37877248 PMCID: PMC10787205 DOI: 10.1002/psp4.13057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Two-stage and joint modeling approaches are the two main approaches to investigate the link between longitudinal tumor size data and overall survival (OS) and anticipate clinical trial outcome. We here used a large database composed of one phase II and five phase III clinical trials evaluating atezolizumab (an immunotherapy) in monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapies in 3699 patients with non-small cell lung cancer to evaluate the differences between both approaches in terms of parameter estimates, magnitude of covariate effects, and ability to predict OS. Although the two-stage approach may underestimate the magnitude of the impact of tumor growth rate (KG ) on OS compared to joint modeling approach (hazard ratios [HRs] of 0.42-2.52 vs. 0.25-2.85, respectively, for individual KG varying from the 5th and 95th percentiles), this difference did not lead into poorer performance of the two-stage approach to describe the OS distribution in the six clinical studies. Overall, two-stage and joint modeling approaches accurately predicted OS HR with a median (range) difference with the observed OS HR of 0.02 (0.01-0.18) and 0.03 (0.00-0.19), in all cases considered, respectively (e.g., for IMpower150: 0.80 [0.66-0.95] vs. 0.82 [0.70-0.95], respectively, whereas the observed OS HR was 0.80). In our setting, the two-stage approach accurately predicted the benefit of atezolizumab on OS. Further work is needed to verify if similar results are achieved using phase Ib or phase II clinical trials where the number of patients and measurements is limited as well as in other cancer indications.

Abstract
We assess the longitudinal tumor growth inhibition (TGI) metrics and overall survival (OS) predictions applied to patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC) enrolled in IMbrave151 a multicenter randomized phase II, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab with or without bevacizumab in combination with cisplatin plus gemcitabine. Tumor growth rate (KG) was estimated for patients in IMbrave151. A pre-existing TGI-OS model for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in IMbrave150 was modified to include available IMbrave151 study covariates and KG estimates and used to simulate IMbrave151 study outcomes. At the interim progression-free survival (PFS) analysis (98 patients, 27 weeks follow-up), clear separation in tumor dynamic profiles with a faster shrinkage rate and slower KG (0.0103 vs. 0.0117 week-1 ; tumor doubling time 67 vs. 59 weeks; KG geometric mean ratio of 0.84) favoring the bevacizumab containing arm was observed. At the first interim analysis for PFS, the simulated OS hazard ratio (HR) 95% prediction interval (PI) of 0.74 (95% PI: 0.58-0.94) offered an early prediction of treatment benefit later confirmed at the final analysis, observed HR of 0.76 based on 159 treated patients and 34 weeks of follow-up. This is the first prospective application of a TGI-OS modeling framework supporting gating of a phase III trial. The findings demonstrate the utility for longitudinal TGI and KG geometric mean ratio as relevant end points in oncology studies to support go/no-go decision making and facilitate interpretation of the IMbrave151 results to support future development efforts for novel therapeutics for patients with advanced BTC.

Ann Oncol 2023; 34:693-702. [PMID: 37268157 DOI: 10.1016/j.annonc.2023.05.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Atezolizumab intravenous (IV) is approved for the treatment of various solid tumours. To improve treatment convenience and health care efficiencies, a coformulation of atezolizumab and recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 was developed for subcutaneous (SC) use. Part 2 of IMscin001 (NCT03735121) was a randomised phase III, open-label, multicentre, noninferiority study comparing the drug exposure of atezolizumab SC with atezolizumab IV. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients with locally advanced/metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer were randomised 2 : 1 to receive atezolizumab SC (1875 mg; n = 247) or IV (1200 mg; n = 124) every 3 weeks. The co-primary endpoints were cycle 1 observed trough serum concentration (Ctrough) and model-predicted area under the curve from days 0 to 21 (AUC0-21 d). The secondary endpoints were steady-state exposure, efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity. Exposure following atezolizumab SC was then compared with historical atezolizumab IV values across approved indications. RESULTS The study met both of its co-primary endpoints: cycle 1 observed Ctrough {SC: 89 μg/ml [coefficient of variation (CV): 43%] versus IV: 85 μg/ml (CV: 33%); geometric mean ratio (GMR), 1.05 [90% confidence interval (CI) 0.88-1.24]} and model-predicted AUC0-21 d [SC: 2907 μg d/ml (CV: 32%) versus IV: 3328 μg d/ml (CV: 20%); GMR, 0.87 (90% CI 0.83-0.92)]. Progression-free survival [hazard ratio 1.08 (95% CI 0.82-1.41)], objective response rate (SC: 12% versus IV: 10%), and incidence of anti-atezolizumab antibodies (SC: 19.5% versus IV: 13.9%) were similar between arms. No new safety concerns were identified. Ctrough and AUC0-21 d for atezolizumab SC were consistent with the other approved atezolizumab IV indications. CONCLUSIONS Compared with IV, atezolizumab SC demonstrated noninferior drug exposure at cycle 1. Efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity were similar between arms and consistent with the known profile for atezolizumab IV. Similar drug exposure and clinical outcomes following SC and IV administration support the use of atezolizumab SC as an alternative to atezolizumab IV.

External validation of a tumor growth inhibition-overall survival model in non-small-cell lung cancer based on atezolizumab studies using alectinib data. Cancer Chemother Pharmacol 2023:10.1007/s00280-023-04558-z. [PMID: 37410154 PMCID: PMC10363035 DOI: 10.1007/s00280-023-04558-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A modeling framework was previously developed to simulate overall survival (OS) using tumor growth inhibition (TGI) data from six randomized phase 2/3 atezolizumab monotherapy or combination studies in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to externally validate this framework to simulate OS in patients with treatment-naive advanced anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive NSCLC in the alectinib ALEX study. METHODS TGI metrics were estimated from a biexponential model using longitudinal tumor size data from a Phase 3 study evaluating alectinib compared with crizotinib in patients with treatment-naive ALK-positive advanced NSCLC. Baseline prognostic factors and TGI metric estimates were used to predict OS. RESULTS 286 patients were evaluable (at least baseline and one post-baseline tumor size measurements) out of 303 (94%) followed for up to 5 years (cut-off: 29 November 2019). The tumor growth rate estimate and baseline prognostic factors (inflammatory status, tumor burden, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, race, line of therapy, and sex) were used to simulate OS in ALEX study. Observed survival distributions for alectinib and crizotinib were within model 95% prediction intervals (PI) for approximately 2 years. Predicted hazard ratio (HR) between alectinib and crizotinib was in agreement with the observed HR (predicted HR 0.612, 95% PI 0.480-0.770 vs. 0.625 observed HR). CONCLUSION The TGI-OS model based on unselected or PD-L1 selected NSCLC patients included in atezolizumab trials is externally validated to predict treatment effect (HR) in a biomarker-selected (ALK-positive) population included in alectinib ALEX trial suggesting that TGI-OS models may be treatment independent.

Abstract
PURPOSE Model-based tumor growth inhibition (TGI) metrics are increasingly incorporated into go/no-go decisions in early clinical studies. To apply this methodology to new investigational combinations requires independent evaluation of TGI metrics in recently completed Phase III trials of effective immunotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data were extracted from IMpower150, a positive, randomized, Phase III study of first-line therapy in 1,202 patients with non-small cell lung cancer. We resampled baseline characteristics and longitudinal sum of longest diameters of tumor lesions of patients from both arms, atezolizumab+ bevacizumab+chemotherapy (ABCP) versus BCP, to mimic Phase Ib/II studies of 15 to 40 patients/arm with 6 to 24 weeks follow-up. TGI metrics were estimated using a bi-exponential TGI model. Effect sizes were calculated as TGI metrics geometric mean ratio (GMR), objective response rate (ORR) difference (d), and progression-free survival (PFS), hazard ratio (HR) between arms. Correct and incorrect go decisions were evaluated as the probability to achieve desired effect sizes in ABCP versus BCP and BCP versus BCP, respectively, across 500 replicated subsamples for each design. RESULTS For 40 patients/24 weeks follow-up, correct go decisions based on probability tumor growth rate (KG) GMR <0.90, dORR >0.10, and PFS HR <0.70 were 83%, 69%, and 58% with incorrect go decision rates of 4%, 12%, and 11%, respectively. For other designs, the ranking did not change with TGI metrics consistently overperforming RECIST endpoints. The predicted overall survival (OS) HR was around 0.80 in most of the scenarios investigated. CONCLUSIONS Model-based estimate of KG GMR is an exploratory endpoint that informs early clinical decisions for combination studies.

Development of a pediatric physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model to support recommended dosing of atezolizumab in children with solid tumors. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:974423. [PMID: 36225583 PMCID: PMC9548535 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.974423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Atezolizumab has been studied in multiple indications for both pediatric and adult patient populations. Generally, clinical studies enrolling pediatric patients may not collect sufficient pharmacokinetic data to characterize the drug exposure and disposition because of operational, ethical, and logistical challenges including burden to children and blood sample volume limitations. Therefore, mechanistic modeling and simulation may serve as a tool to predict and understand the drug exposure in pediatric patients. Objective: To use mechanistic physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling to predict atezolizumab exposure at a dose of 15 mg/kg (max 1,200 mg) in pediatric patients to support dose rationalization and label recommendations. Methods: A minimal mechanistic PBPK model was used which incorporated age-dependent changes in physiology and biochemistry that are related to atezolizumab disposition such as endogenous IgG concentration and lymph flow. The PBPK model was developed using both in vitro data and clinically observed data in adults and was verified across dose levels obtained from a phase I and multiple phase III studies in both pediatric patients and adults. The verified model was then used to generate PK predictions for pediatric and adult subjects ranging from 2- to 29-year-old. Results: Individualized verification in children and in adults showed that the simulated concentrations of atezolizumab were comparable (76% within two-fold and 90% within three-fold, respectively) to the observed data with no bias for either over- or under-prediction. Applying the verified model, the predicted exposure metrics including Cmin, Cmax, and AUCtau were consistent between pediatric and adult patients with a geometric mean of pediatric exposure metrics between 0.8- to 1.25-fold of the values in adults. Conclusion: The results show that a 15 mg/kg (max 1,200 mg) atezolizumab dose administered intravenously in pediatric patients provides comparable atezolizumab exposure to a dose of 1,200 mg in adults. This suggests that a dose of 15 mg/kg will provide adequate and effective atezolizumab exposure in pediatric patients from 2- to 18-year-old.

Abstract
Model-based meta-analysis (MBMA) is a quantitative approach that leverages published summary data along with internal data and can be applied to inform key drug development decisions, including the benefit-risk assessment of a treatment under investigation. These risk-benefit assessments may involve determining an optimal dose compared against historic external comparators of a particular disease indication. MBMA can provide a flexible framework for interpreting aggregated data from historic reference studies and therefore should be a standard tool for the model-informed drug development (MIDD) framework.In addition to pairwise and network meta-analyses, MBMA provides further contributions in the quantitative approaches with its ability to incorporate longitudinal data and the pharmacologic concept of dose-response relationship, as well as to combine individual- and summary-level data and routinely incorporate covariates in the analysis.A common application of MBMA is the selection of optimal dose and dosing regimen of the internal investigational molecule to evaluate external benchmarking and to support comparator selection. Two case studies provided examples in applications of MBMA in biologics (durvalumab + tremelimumab for safety) and small molecule (fenebrutinib for efficacy) to support drug development decision-making in two different but well-studied disease areas, i.e., oncology and rheumatoid arthritis, respectively.Important to the future directions of MBMA include additional recognition and engagement from drug development stakeholders for the MBMA approach, stronger collaboration between pharmacometrics and statistics, expanded data access, and the use of machine learning for database building. Timely, cost-effective, and successful application of MBMA should be part of providing an integrated view of MIDD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Anastomotic leak (AL) is a common but severe complication after oesophagectomy. It is unknown how to determine the severity of AL objectively at diagnosis. Determining leak severity may guide treatment decisions and improve future research. This study aimed to identify leak-related prognostic factors for mortality, and to develop a Severity of oEsophageal Anastomotic Leak (SEAL) score.
Methods
This international, retrospective cohort study in 71 centres worldwide included patients with AL after oesophagectomy between 2011 and 2019. The primary endpoint was 90-day mortality. Leak-related prognostic factors were identified after adjusting for confounders and were included in multivariable logistic regression to develop the SEAL score. Four classes of leak severity (mild, moderate, severe, and critical) were defined based on the risk of 90-day mortality, and the score was validated internally.
Results
Some 1509 patients with AL were included and the 90-day mortality rate was 11.7 per cent. Twelve leak-related prognostic factors were included in the SEAL score. The score showed good calibration and discrimination (c-index 0.77, 95 per cent c.i. 0.73 to 0.81). Higher classes of leak severity graded by the SEAL score were associated with a significant increase in duration of ICU stay, healing time, Comprehensive Complication Index score, and Esophagectomy Complications Consensus Group classification.
Conclusion
The SEAL score grades leak severity into four classes by combining 12 leak-related predictors and can be used to the assess severity of AL after oesophagectomy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Tumor growth inhibition (TGI)-overall survival (OS) models predict OS distributions and study outcomes (OS hazard ratio (HR)) in a number of cancers and settings (Bruno, Clin Cancer Res 2020;26:1787-95). Model-derived TGI metrics such as tumor growth rate (KG) have been considered as a promising early endpoint compared to classical response criteria (Gong J Clin Oncol 2020; doi: 10.1200/JCO.2020.38.15_suppl.9541). This work is assessing the validity of tumor growth rate estimates to inform GO/noGO decisions for Phase Ib studies.
Methods: We resampled baseline characteristics and longitudinal sum of longest diameters (SLD, RECIST 1.1) from a positive Phase III study (IMpower150, Socinski, N Engl J Med 2018;378:2288-301) to mimic a Phase Ib study of 15, 30, or 40 patients per arm (atezolizumab +bevacizumab+carboplatin+paclitaxel (A+BCP) vs. BCP) with 10 months recruitment and 6 or 3 months follow-up (FU) after the last patient recruited. Effect sizes across A+BCP vs. BCP or BCP vs. BCP were calculated as geometric mean ratio (GMR) for KG, difference (d) in objective response rate (ORR), and HR for progression-free survival (PFS) and simulated OS. For this, individual KG were estimated using a bi-exponential model (Claret, Clin Cancer Res 2018;24:3292-8); ORR and PFS were estimated per RECIST 1.1, OS was simulated using a previously published TGI-OS model (Chan CPT:PSP 2021; doi.org/10.1002/psp4.12686) with 400 patients per arm bootstrapped from the 15, 30 or 40 patients of the resampled subsamples. Correct and incorrect Go decisions were based on the probability (prob) to achieve target effect sizes in A+BCP vs. BCP and BCP vs. BCP, respectively, across 500 replicated subsamples.
Results: To not exceed an incorrect Go decision of 20% and for 40 patients/6 months FU, correct Go based on prob(KG GMR<0.90), prob(dORR>0.10), prob(OS HR<0.85) and prob(PFS HR<0.70) were 83%, 69%, 67% and 58%, respectively. For 40 patients/3 months FU, 30 patients/6 or 3 months FU, the ranking did not change and prob(KG GMR<0.90) correct Go decision rate remained around 80%.
Conclusions: This evaluation suggests that model-based estimates of on-treatment tumor growth rate could be used as an exploratory endpoint to inform early clinical decisions. Expansion of this work is planned in other settings e.g. single-arm studies commonly used in early oncology clinical development.

Abstract
Atezolizumab is approved as an intravenous infusion for use as a single agent and in combination with other therapies in a number of indications.1 The objectives of this publication are to characterize atezolizumab pharmacokinetics (PK) across indications with available clinical data from one Phase I and eight Phase III studies, to determine the exposure-response (ER) relationships in the combination settings across a variety of tumor types, and to provide the clinical safety to support the extension of the 840 mg q2w, 1200 mg q3w, and 1680 mg q4w IV dosing regimens across various indications in the combination settings. Across all clinical studies, atezolizumab PK remained in the dose linear range and were similar across tumor types when used in combination therapy or as a monotherapy. In the combination studies, efficacy was independent of exposures tested and there was no significant increase in adverse events with increasing atezolizumab exposure (flat ER). The safety profile of atezolizumab in the individual combination studies was generally consistent with the established safety profile of atezolizumab, the combination partners, and the disease under study. The similar atezolizumab PK across monotherapy and combination therapy setting as well as the flat ER in new tumor types and combination therapies support the use of the three atezolizumab dosing regimens to be used interchangeably in the combination setting. Atezolizumab is now approved with three interchangeable dosing regimens of 840 mg q2w, 1200 mg q3w, and 1680 mg q4w for single-agent and combination therapy use in the US and EU.

Tumor Growth Inhibition-Overall Survival (TGI-OS) Model for Subgroup Analysis Based on Post-Randomization Factors: Application for Anti-drug Antibody (ADA) Subgroup Analysis of Atezolizumab in the IMpower150 Study. AAPS J 2022; 24:58. [PMID: 35484442 DOI: 10.1208/s12248-022-00710-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Longitudinal changes of tumor size or tumor-associated biomarkers have been receiving growing attention as early markers of treatment benefits. Tumor growth inhibition-overall survival (TGI-OS) models represent mathematical frameworks used to establish a link from tumor size trajectory to survival outcome with the aim of predicting survival benefit with tumor data from a small number of subjects with a short follow-up time. In the present study, we applied the TGI-OS model to assess treatment benefit in the IMpower150 study for patients who exhibited development of anti-drug antibodies (ADA). Direct comparison between subgroups of the active arm [ADA positive (ADA +) and negative (ADA -) groups] to the entire control group is not appropriate, due to potential imbalances of baseline prognostic factors between ADA + and ADA - patients. Thus, the TGI-OS modeling framework was employed to adjust for differences in prognostic factors between the ADA subgroups to more accurately estimate the treatment benefits. After adjustment, the TGI-OS model predicted comparable hazard ratios (HRs) of OS between ADA + and ADA - subgroups, suggesting that the development of ADA does not have a clinically significant impact on the treatment benefit of atezolizumab.

Evaluation of atezolizumab immunogenicity: Clinical pharmacology (part 1). Clin Transl Sci 2021; 15:130-140.

Abstract
Baseline patient characteristics and prognostic factors are important considerations in oncology when evaluating the impact of immunogenicity on pharmacokinetics (PK) and efficacy. Here, we assessed the impact of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) on the PK of the immune checkpoint inhibitor atezolizumab (an anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody). We evaluated data from ≈ 4500 patients from 12 clinical trials across different tumor types, treatment settings, and dosing regimens. In our dataset, ~ 30% of patients (range, 13-54%) developed treatment-emergent ADA, and in vitro neutralizing antibodies (NAb) were seen in ~ 50% of ADA-positive (+) patients. Pooled time course data showed a trend toward lower atezolizumab exposure in ADA+ patients, which was more pronounced in ADA+/NAb+ patients. However, the atezolizumab concentration distributions overlapped, and drug concentrations exceeded 6 µg/ml, the target concentration required for receptor saturation, in greater than 95% of patients. Patients had sufficient exposure regardless of ADA status. The dose selected to allow for dosing over effects from ADA resulted in a flat exposure-response relationship. Analysis of study results by ADA titer showed that exposure and overall survival were not affected in a clinically meaningful way. High tumor burden, low albumin, and high CRP at baseline showed the greatest association with ADA development but not with subsequent NAb development. These imbalanced factors at baseline can confound analysis of ADA impact. ADA increases atezolizumab clearance minimally (9%), and its impact on exposure based on the totality of the clinical pharmacology assessment does not appear to be clinically meaningful.

P–383 Cytogenetic analysis of products of conception from miscarriages following natural conception and IVF pregnancy: a comparative study. Hum Reprod 2021.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Do cytogenetic results from products of conception from miscarriages differ from patients conceiving by natural conception versus IVF? Summary answer: Cytogenetic results were similar, with no statistical difference from miscarriages following natural conception and assisted conception.
What is known already
Cytogenetic sampling of products of conception (POC) following recurrent miscarriages (RM) are recommended to rule out parental chromosomal rearrangements. The RCOG recommends cytogenetic testing in cases of recurrent miscarriages (3 consecutive miscarriages). However some units routinely request cytogenetic analysis following a single miscarriage following an IVF pregnancy. There is no evidence to support the routine sampling of POCs following assisted conception. Study design, size, duration: Retrospective cohort study of 117 cytogenetic samples, followed up by the outcome of parental karyotyping if applicable. Patients were categorised based on mode of conception into natural conception (NC) with recurrent miscarriages (≥3) or one miscarriage following IVF. Data collected between 2018–2020. Primary Outcome measure: Presence and type of cytogenetic abnormality; individual parental targeted G-band karyotyping result. Participants/materials, setting, methods: A total of 117 cytogenetic results were reviewed, of which 35 were unsuitable for analysis due to contamination (Total n = 79: NC = 60, IVF = 19). Main results and the role of chance: Cytogenetic analysis showed abnormal results in 59% of miscarriages following natural conception and 53% of miscarriages from IVF pregnancy (p = 0.46).
Abnormal cytogenetic results were mainly sporadic. Trisomy 16 was the commonest abnormality in both groups. Others included Trisomy 15, 22, 21, 8, 13, 5, 9, 10, 14, 18, single X (Turner’s), all occurring in the same frequency in both groups. As expected 35 out of 45 abnormal cytogenetic results occurred with a maternal age greater than 35 years.
One couple from the NC group were referred to a geneticist for a Trisomy 9 imbalance. All other parental karyotyping results were normal.
Limitations, reasons for caution
This study contains a small sample size, and would benefit from further data collection to account for a percentage of samples being inadequate for analysis. Wider implications of the findings: Cytogenetic results were similar from miscarriages following natural conception and assisted conception. IVF does not increase the risk of miscarriage from abnormal embryonic karyotype. Routine cytogenetic testing following one miscarriage in patients undergoing IVF is not cost effective.

Prediction of overall survival in patients across solid tumors following atezolizumab treatments: A tumor growth inhibition-overall survival modeling framework. CPT-PHARMACOMETRICS & SYSTEMS PHARMACOLOGY 2021; 10:1171-1182. [PMID: 34270868 PMCID: PMC8520743 DOI: 10.1002/psp4.12686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2021] [Revised: 06/18/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
The objectives of the study were to use tumor size data from 10 phase II/III atezolizumab studies across five solid tumor types to estimate tumor growth inhibition (TGI) metrics and assess the impact of TGI metrics and baseline prognostic factors on overall survival (OS) for each tumor type. TGI metrics were estimated from biexponential models and posttreatment longitudinal data of 6699 patients. TGI‐OS full models were built using parametric survival regression by including all significant baseline covariates from the Cox univariate analysis followed by a backward elimination step. The model performance was evaluated for each trial by 1000 simulations of the OS distributions and hazard ratios (HR) of the atezolizumab‐containing arms versus the respective controls. The tumor growth rate estimate was the most significant predictor of OS across all tumor types. Several baseline prognostic factors, such as inflammatory status (C‐reactive protein, albumin, and/or neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio), tumor burden (sum of longest diameters, number of metastatic sites, and/or presence of liver metastases), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, and lactate dehydrogenase were also highly significant across multiple studies in the final multivariate models. TGI‐OS models adequately described the OS distribution. The model‐predicted HRs indicated good model performance across the 10 studies, with observed HRs within the 95% prediction intervals for all study arms versus controls. Multivariate TGI‐OS models developed for different solid tumor types were able to predict treatment effect with various atezolizumab monotherapy or combination regimens and could be used to support design and analysis of future studies.

Molecular response of a sub-antarctic population of the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis platensis) to a moderate thermal stress. MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2021; 169:105393.

Abstract
The Kerguelen Islands (49°26'S, 69°50'E) represent a unique environment due to their geographical isolation, which protects them from anthropogenic pollution. The ability of the endemic mussel, part of the Mytilus complex, to cope with moderate heat stress was explored using omic tools. Transcripts involved in six major metabolic functions were selected and the qRT-PCR data indicated mainly changes in aerobic and anaerobic energy metabolism and stress response. Proteomic comparisons revealed a typical stress response pattern with cytoskeleton modifications and elements suggesting increased energy metabolism. Results also suggest conservation of protein homeostasis by the long-lasting presence of HSP while a general decrease in transcription is observed. The overall findings are consistent with an adaptive response to moderate stresses in mussels in good physiological condition, i.e. living in a low-impact site, and with the literature concerning this model species. Therefore, local blue mussels could be advantageously integrated into biomonitoring strategies, especially in the context of Global Change.

Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab in Patients with Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Pharmacokinetic and Safety Assessments Based on Hepatic Impairment Status and Geographic Region. Liver Cancer 2021; 10:485-499.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Phase 1b GO30140 and phase 3 IMbrave150 studies evaluated first-line atezolizumab + bevacizumab for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we evaluated pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety by hepatic impairment status and geographic region. METHODS Patients received atezolizumab 1,200 mg + bevacizumab 15 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks. Drug concentrations were evaluated by descriptive statistics and population PK. PK and adverse event frequencies were evaluated by hepatic impairment status and region. RESULTS 323 IMbrave150 patients and 162 GO30140 patients were PK evaluable. Compared with IMbrave150 patients who had normal hepatic function per the National Cancer Institute Organ Dysfunction Working Group (NCI-ODWG) criteria (n = 123), patients with mild impairment (n = 171) had a geometric mean ratio (GMR) of 0.92 for cycle 1 atezolizumab area under the concentration-time curve (AUC); patients with moderate impairment (n = 27) had a GMR of 0.88. Patients in Asia ([n = 162] vs. outside [n = 161]) had a GMR of 1.25 for cycle 1 atezolizumab AUC. Compared with GO30140 patients who had normal hepatic function (NCI-ODWG [n = 61]), patients with mild impairment (n = 92) had a GMR of 0.97 for cycle 1 peak bevacizumab concentrations; those with moderate impairment (n = 9) had a GMR of 0.94. Patients in Asia (n = 111) versus outside Asia (n = 51) had a GMR of 0.94 for cycle 1 peak bevacizumab concentration. PK results were generally comparable when evaluated based on additional hepatic functional definitions (Child-Pugh or albumin/bilirubin criteria) or study enrollment in Japan. No associations between atezolizumab PK and HCC etiology were seen. Adverse event frequencies were similar across evaluated groups. CONCLUSIONS IMbrave150 and GO30140 patients with unresectable HCC had varying baseline hepatic impairment and high enrollment from Asia. PK data demonstrated considerable exposure overlap across groups. Treatment was tolerable across groups. No need for dose adjustment based on mild or moderate hepatic impairment or region is recommended based on this analysis.

A Systematic Review Of Primary Ankle Arthrodesis In The Treatment Of Pilon Fractures. Foot (Edinb) 2021; 47:101780. [PMID: 33962114 DOI: 10.1016/j.foot.2021.101780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2020] [Revised: 01/05/2021] [Accepted: 01/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pilon fractures are severe, intra-articular and comminuted fractures to the distal tibia. They are uncommon injuries and are often associated with fibular fractures. The optimal management of these fractures is widely debated. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and external fixation have been used to treat these fractures. Ankle arthrodesis is often used in the latter stages of management for end-stage ankle arthritis. The aim of this systematic review was to identify the outcomes associated with using primary ankle arthrodesis in pilon fractures. METHODS Ovid Medline and PubMed were searched from the inception of their databases until October 2018. Eligible literature for use in our review included patient cohorts that had been operated in the form of primary ankle arthrodesis. All relevant data was included that met the inclusion criteria. The demographic of the patients with pilon fractures and this operative management were identified. The outcomes of interest were fusion rate, infection rate, length of follow-up and patient reported outcomes. 8 papers were deemed eligible for review. RESULTS Of the 8 papers that were eligible, 6 were retrospective studies, 1 was a case report and 1 was an abstract. There were a total of 109 patients included. Fusion rate was 100% in 5 of the studies. 6 of the 7 studies that reported on infection rate had no post-operative infections. Outcome assessment scores were used in 5 of the studies. The SF-36 score, the FOAS and the AOFAS were used. CONCLUSIONS This review shows that primary ankle arthrodesis yields reasonable results in the management of pilon fractures. However, the quantity and quality of current literature is not sufficient and further studies with larger cohorts and longer follow-up times are warranted.

Translational and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic application for the clinical development of GDC-0334, a novel TRPA1 inhibitor. Clin Transl Sci 2021; 14:1945-1954.

Abstract
GDC‐0334 is a novel small molecule inhibitor of transient receptor potential cation channel member A1 (TRPA1), a promising therapeutic target for many nervous system and respiratory diseases. The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of GDC‐0334 were evaluated in this first‐in‐human (FIH) study. A starting single dose of 25 mg was selected based on integrated preclinical PK, PD, and toxicology data following oral administration of GDC‐0334 in guinea pigs, rats, dogs, and monkeys. Human PK and PK‐PD of GDC‐0334 were characterized after single and multiple oral dosing using a population modeling approach. The ability of GDC‐0334 to inhibit dermal blood flow (DBF) induced by topical administration of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) was evaluated as a target‐engagement biomarker. Quantitative models were developed iteratively to refine the parameter estimates of the dose‐concentration‐effect relationships through stepwise estimation and extrapolation. Human PK analyses revealed that bioavailability, absorption rate constant, and lag time increase when GDC‐0334 was administered with food. The inhibitory effect of GDC‐0334 on the AITC‐induced DBF biomarker exhibited a clear sigmoid‐Emax relationship with GDC‐0334 plasma concentrations in humans. This study leveraged emerging preclinical and clinical data to enable iterative refinement of GDC‐0334 mathematical models throughout the FIH study for dose selection in subsequent cohorts throughout the study.

Abstract
PURPOSE The time-varying clearance (CL) of the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab was assessed on a population of 1519 cancer patients (primarily with non-small-cell lung cancer or metastatic urothelial carcinoma) from three clinical studies. METHODS The first step was to identify the baseline covariates affecting atezolizumab CL without including time-varying components (stationary covariate model). Two time-varying models were then investigated: (1) a model allowing baseline covariates to vary over time (time-varying covariate model), (2) a model with empirical time-varying Emax CL function. RESULTS The final stationary covariate model included main effects of body weight, albumin levels, tumor size, anti-drug antibodies (ADA) and gender on atezolizumab CL. Both time-varying models resulted in a clear improvement of the data fit and visual predictive checks over the stationary model. The time-varying covariate model provided the best fit of the data. In this model, the main driver for change in CL over time was variations in albumin level with an increase in serum albumin (improvement in a patient's status) mirroring a decrease in CL. Time-varying ADAs had a small impact (9% increase in CL). None of the covariates impacted atezolizumab CL by more than ± 30% from median. The estimated maximum decrease in CL with time was 22% with the Emax model. CONCLUSION The overall impact of covariates on atezolizumab CL did not warrant any change in atezolizumab dosing recommendations. The results support the hypothesis that variation in atezolizumab CL over time is associated with patients' disease status, as shown with other checkpoint inhibitors.

Abstract
Intravenous (IV) atezolizumab is approved for non-small cell lung and other cancers. Subcutaneous (SC) atezolizumab coformulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase, a permeation enhancer for SC dispersion and absorption, is being developed to improve treatment options, reduce burden, and increase efficiency for patients and practitioners. IMscin001 (NCT03735121), a 2-part, open-label, global, multicenter, phase 1b/3 study, is evaluating the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and efficacy of SC atezolizumab. The part 1 (phase 1b) objective was determination of an SC atezolizumab dose yielding a serum trough concentration (Ctrough ) comparable with IV. Patients enrolled in 3 cohorts received SC atezolizumab 1800 mg (thigh) once (cohort 1), 1200 mg (thigh) every 2 weeks for 3 cycles (cohort 2), or 1800 mg (abdomen) every 3 weeks cycle 1, then cycles 2 and 3 (thigh) every 3 weeks (cohort 3). In subsequent cycles, IV atezolizumab 1200 mg every 3 weeks was administered until loss of clinical benefit. SC atezolizumab 1800 mg every 3 weeks and 1200 mg every 2 weeks provided similar Ctrough and area under the curve values in cycle 1 to the corresponding IV atezolizumab reference, was well tolerated, and exhibited a safety profile consistent with the established IV formulation. Exposure following SC injection in the abdomen was lower (20%, 28%, and 27% for Ctrough , maximum concentration, and area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to day 21, respectively) than in the thigh. Part 1 SC and IV PK data were analyzed using a population PK modeling approach, followed by simulations. Part 2 (phase 3) will now be initiated to demonstrate that SC atezolizumab PK exposure is not lower than that of IV.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cognitive impairment has been reported in people living with HIV-1 (PLWH) with prior syphilis, while PLWH who present with incident syphilis have reduced blood CD4 T-lymphocyte and elevated HIV-1 RNA levels. However, the clinical, virological and neurocognitive effects of syphilis during acute HIV-1 (AHI) remain unknown. METHODS Pre-antiretroviral therapy laboratory outcomes and neurocognitive performance in a four-test battery in the SEARCH10/RV254 AHI cohort were compared according to syphilis status, determined by serum Treponema pallidum haemagglutination (TPHA), Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) and syphilis treatment history. Impaired cognitive performance was defined as having z-scores ≤ -1 in at least two tests or ≤ -2 in at least one test. RESULTS Out of 595 AHI participants (97% male, median age of 26 years and estimated duration of HIV-1 infection of 19 days), 119 (20%) had history of syphilis (TPHA-positive), of whom 51 (9%) had untreated syphilis (TPHA-positive/VDRL-positive/without prior treatment). Compared with those without syphilis (TPHA-negative), individuals with untreated syphilis had higher CD8 T-lymphocyte levels but not higher plasma HIV-1 RNA or lower CD4 T-lymphocyte levels. Taking into account estimated duration of HIV-1 infection (P < 0.001), and later Fiebig stages (III-V) (P < 0.001), those with untreated syphilis had higher CD8 T-lymphocyte levels (P = 0.049). Individuals with any syphilis (TPHA-positive), but not untreated syphilis, had higher odds of impaired cognitive performance than those without (P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS During AHI, individuals with any history of syphilis (TPHA-positive) had poorer cognitive performance than those without syphilis. However, syphilis was not associated with worsened HIV disease measures as described in chronic infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Frailty is known to be influenced by genetics, however, little evidence on the association of Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotype and frailty exists which we aim to investigate. DESIGN This study is a cross-sectional analysis from a prospective longitudinal study cohort. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Community-dwelling individuals aged 55 years and older from Beijing region in China. MEASUREMENTS A total of 3,569 older adults with a mean age of 75.06(±6.79) years were included. We investigated the association between ApoE polymorphism and frailty syndrome using the frailty index (FI) and frailty phenotype (including association with individual components of the frailty phenotype). Logistic regressions were performed to investigate the relation between ApoE variants and frailty. RESULTS There was no significant association between ApoE variants and frailty as assessed by the FI. In the age and sex-adjusted model, compared to the ApoE e3/e3 carriers ApoE e4 carriers had almost 1.5 times higher odds of being frail as assessed by the frailty phenotype. However, the significance was lost on the model with adjustment for cognitive impairment. Compared to the ApoE e3/e3 carriers ApoE e4 carriers had almost two times higher odds of fatigue. ApoE e4 heterozygotes had higher odds of fatigue compared to ApoE e4 non-carriers. No significant association was found between ApoE variants and other components of frailty phenotype. CONCLUSIONS Our findings do not support an association between ApoE genotype and frailty irrespective of the frailty assessment tools. Fatigue in older adults is the only component of frailty phenotype influenced by ApoE genotype.

Intrinsic Capacity as a Determinant of Physical Resilience in Older Adults. J Nutr Health Aging 2021; 25:1006-1011. [PMID: 34545921 PMCID: PMC8035602 DOI: 10.1007/s12603-021-1629-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2020] [Accepted: 12/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
The traditional disease-oriented model of healthcare is inadequate to address the needs of the older population. Greater attention should be given to strategies that promote healthy aging. Recently proposed constructs of intrinsic capacity (IC) and physical resilience (PR) hold great potential to reshape geriatric medicine and aging research. These constructs accentuate the positive health attributes of older people in contrast to the popular frailty construct that is centered on functional deficits. IC was introduced by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a composite of all the physical and mental capacities. WHO has emphasized enhancement of IC throughout the life course so as to maintain functional ability in old age. PR, recently highlighted by the National Institute on Aging, is the ability to successfully cope with stressors. High levels of resilience can result in desirable clinical and functional outcomes after stressors. Therefore, it is important to understand the underlying physiology of PR and the risk factors contributing to diminished PR. The main goal of this article is to explore the potential relationship between IC and PR. Based on a classical theory of aging, we postulate that IC is a determinant of PR and is also a high-level integrative measure of physiologic reserve which is the fundamental factor underlying one's ability to withstand stressors. A major implication of our postulates is that even though IC is only one of the many determinants of PR, it could serve as an important intervenable target for enhancing resilience in older adults.

Abstract
Although geriatric research in general has increased in recent years, there is no effective treatment for frailty. Among older adults, those with frailty have an increased risk of falls, disability, and death. The population of older adults has increased rapidly in China, and resulting in an increased demand for medical care services for older adults, including those with frailty. However, much of the research on frailty has been conducted in Europe and the United States, and European and American standards for frailty are not always applicable to Chinese individuals. Clinicians and researchers in China have shown increasing interest in frailty in recent years. Here, we reviewed the current state of frailty research in China.

Abstract
Machine learning (ML) was used to leverage tumor growth inhibition (TGI) metrics to characterize the relationship with overall survival (OS) as a novel approach and to compare with traditional TGI‐OS modeling methods. Historical dataset from a phase III non‐small cell lung cancer study (OAK, atezolizumab vs. docetaxel, N = 668) was used. ML methods support the validity of TGI metrics in predicting OS. With lasso, the best model with TGI metrics outperforms the best model without TGI metrics. Boosting was the best linear ML method for this dataset with reduced estimation bias and lowest Brier score, suggesting better prediction accuracy. Random forest did not outperform linear ML methods despite hyperparameter optimization. Kernel machine was marginally the best nonlinear ML method for this dataset and uncovered nonlinear and interaction effects. Nonlinear ML may improve prediction by capturing nonlinear effects and covariate interactions, but its predictive performance and value need further evaluation with larger datasets.

Pan-cancer population pharmacokinetics and exposure-safety and -efficacy analyses of atezolizumab in patients with high tumor mutational burden. Pharmacol Res Perspect 2020; 8:e00685. [PMID: 33241650 PMCID: PMC7689240 DOI: 10.1002/prp2.685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2020] [Revised: 10/02/2020] [Accepted: 10/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
We retrospectively investigated the pharmacokinetics and exposure-efficacy/safety relationships of single-agent atezolizumab based on tissue tumor mutational burden (tTMB) status (high vs low [≥16 vs <16 mutations/megabase]) in a pan-tumor population from seven clinical trials. Data sources included the OAK, POPLAR, BIRCH, FIR, IMvigor210, IMvigor211, and PCD4989g studies; 986 of 2894 treated patients (34%) had TMB data. Exposure metrics were obtained using a prior two-compartment intravenous-infusion population-pharmacokinetics model, merged with prognostic, biomarker, efficacy, and safety variables. Baseline demographic/clinical characteristics and prognostic factors were well balanced between patients with high (n = 175) and low (n = 811) tTMB. Exposure was similar in the high- and low-tTMB subgroups, with no difference seen in the evaluable vs total treated populations. The objective response rate (ORR) was 29.7% vs 13.4%, complete response rate was 6.9% vs 3.2%, and median duration of response (95% CI) was 29.0 (18.6-NE) months vs 15.9 (12.5-20.5) months for patients with high-tTMB vs low-tTMB tumors, respectively. A flat exposure-efficacy relationship was seen for ORR in patients with high-tTMB based on the cycle 1 minimum atezolizumab concentration and area under the serum concentration time curve (AUC). A nonsignificant exposure-safety profile was seen for grade 3/4 adverse events and adverse events of special interest based on the AUC of atezolizumab in the high-tTMB population. tTMB is an additional predictive biological factor affecting response to atezolizumab, and quantitative investigations of atezolizumab exposure and relationships of exposure with safety and efficacy support the use of a 1200-mg, every 3-week regimen in a tumor-agnostic high-tTMB population.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although survival for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) varies markedly across sites, it remains unknown whether high survival at top-performing hospitals is due to high rates of acute resuscitation survival (i.e., achievement of return of spontaneous circulation [ROSC]), post-resuscitation survival (i.e., survival to discharge among patients who achieved ROSC), or both.
Methods
Using 2015–2018 Get With The Guidelines (GWTG)-Resuscitation data, we identified 290 hospitals (86,426 patients) with IHCA. For each hospital, we calculated overall risk-standardized survival (RSSR) to discharge for IHCA using a previously validated hierarchical regression model and categorized hospitals into quartiles based on that metric. Risk-adjusted rates of acute resuscitation survival (defined as return of spontaneous circulation for >20 minutes [ROSC]) and post-resuscitation survival (defined as the proportion of patients achieving ROSC who survived to hospital discharge) were also computed for each hospital. We examined the correlation between a hospital's overall RSSR with its risk-adjusted rate of acute resuscitation and post-resuscitation survival.
Results
Among study hospitals, the median RSSR was 25.1% (inter-quartile range [IQR]: 21.9%–27.7%). The median risk-adjusted rate of acute resuscitation survival was 72.4% (IQR: 67.9%–76.9%) and post-resuscitation survival was 34.0% (IQR: 31.5%–37.7%). Hospital rates of RSSR were less strongly correlated with risk-adjusted rates of acute resuscitation survival (rho=0.50, P<0.001) than post-resuscitation survival (rho=0.90, P<0.001). Compared with hospitals in the lowest quartile of RSSR, hospitals in the highest quartile had substantially higher rates of acute resuscitation survival (Q4: 75.4% vs. Q1: 66.8%; P<0.001) and post-resuscitation survival (Q4: 40.3% vs. Q1: 28.7%; P<0.001). Notably, there was no correlation between hospital risk-adjusted rates of acute resuscitation survival and post-resuscitation survival (rho=0.09, P=0.11).
Conclusion
Hospital that excel in overall IHCA survival in general excel in either acute resuscitation or post-resuscitation care. As most hospital-based quality improvement initiatives largely focus on acute resuscitation survival, our findings suggest that efforts to strengthen post-resuscitation care may offer additional opportunities to improve IHCA survival.

Abstract
Population of older adults in Asia, and particularly in China is increasing rapidly. Older population are at increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias. Soon, the Chinese population with AD will represent almost half of the world's AD population. There is a desperate need of disease modifying therapies to delay or slow the progression of AD, to tackle this emerging healthcare emergency. In this context, the first CTAD Asia-China conference was held in China to bring together Western and Asian leaders in AD. This meeting focused largely on how to develop successful trials in China, utilizing past experiences from the West.

Abstract
Purpose Fenebrutinib (GDC-0853), a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor was investigated in a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our aim was to apply a model-informed drug development (MIDD) approach to examine the totality of available clinical efficacy data. Methods Population pharmacokinetics (popPK) modeling, exposure-response (E-R) analysis, and model-based meta-analysis (MBMA) of fenebrutinib were performed based on the Phase 2 data. Results PopPK of fenebrutinib after oral administration was described using a 3-compartment model with linear elimination and a flexible absorption transit compartment model. Healthy subjects had a 52% higher apparent clearance than patients. E-R analyses based on longitudinal ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 and DAS28 (CRP) data modeled fenebrutinib effect with an Emax function, and an efficacy plateau was achieved within the exposure range obtained in the Phase 2 clinical trial. Based on literature data, a summary-level clinical efficacy database was constructed, and MBMA determined ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 responder rates in the placebo and adalimumab arms of the Phase 2 clinical trial were found to be consistent with historical data for these treatments. Conclusions Our multi-pronged approach applied MIDD to maximize knowledge extraction of efficacy data and enabled robust interpretation from a Phase 2 clinical trial.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence and the clinical feature of essential tremor (ET) in a community cohort in Beijing. METHODS Using a door-to-door, two-phase approach, we investigated 2,835 residents aged ≥55 years old from rural, urban, and mountain areas. RESULTS The prevalence rate of ET was 4.29%, 2.85%, and 2.29% in rural, urban, and mountain areas, respectively. The overall age- and sex-adjusted prevalence was 3.29%. Among those aged ≥75 years, the prevalence rate in the urban area was higher than those in the rural and mountain areas. The prevalence rate increased with age, and the prevalence was higher among men (6.0%) than among women (3.6%). There was a correlation of ET prevalence with age, sex, and habitation area, but not with alcohol, tea drinking, and occupation. Women (25%) with ET were more likely to have head tremor than men (16.9%). CONCLUSIONS The ET prevalence in the elderly of Beijing was 3.29% which is higher in the urban area and in men.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Multimorbidity is common in older hospitalized adults. To date, however, few studies have addressed multimorbidity in the older population of Chinese inpatients. We aimed to investigate the multimorbidity rate and associated risk factors in older adult inpatients in China. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS This study was conducted in the medical wards of a tertiary-care hospital from. The patients were recruited aged between 60 to 101 (74.14±8.46) years. MEASUREMENTS Data were obtained from the China Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment Study, conducted in 2011-2012 in China. A total of 4,633 inpatients older than 60 years was recruited from 12 hospitals in 7 cities throughout China. The prevalence of comorbidity, distribution of common chronic diseases, and the associated risk factors were studied. RESULTS A total of 4,348 people aged 60 to 101 (74.14±8.46) years completed questionnaires. The average frequency of multimorbidity was 69.3% (95% CI, 67.9% to 70.6%). The prevalence of multimorbidity increased with age and was higher in men (71.6%; 95% CI, 69.9% to 73.3%) than in women (65.3%, 95% CI 63.0% to 67.6%), and higher in the northern region (71.7%, 95% CI 69.9% to 73.5%) than in the southern region (66.0%; 95% CI, 63.8% to 68.1%). The most frequent chronic diseases were hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, cataract, and stroke. Area (OR=0.556; 95% CI, 0.465 to 0.666), region (OR=0.834; 95% CI, 0.723 to 0.962), body mass index (BMI) (OR=1.124; 95% CI, 1.017 to 1.242), and impairment of activities of daily living (OR=0.911; 95% CI, 0.855 to 0.970) were independent factors associated with multimorbidity. CONCLUSIONS Multimorbidity is common in older Chinese inpatients with a national prevalence of 69.3% that increases in line with age. Age, region, area, BMI, and daily activities were independent factors significantly associated with multimorbidity in older inpatients. Clinicians should therefore focus more attention on multimorbidity.

The impact of long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and second-hand smoke on the onset of Parkinson disease: a review and meta-analysis. Public Health 2019; 179:100-110.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Long-term exposure to particulate and gaseous air pollution (AP) may trigger the development of Parkinson disease (PD), but this association remains controversial. The relationship between second-hand smoke (SS) and PD risk is also inconclusive. We aimed to systematically review epidemiological studies investigating the association between these AP exposures and PD risk. STUDY DESIGN This was a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies investigating the relationship of ambient AP and SS with PD risk. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases were searched. We used a random-effects model to derive pooled estimates of relative risk (RR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) per increment in pollutant concentration. The studied AP included particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter <2.5 μm (PM2.5), <10 μm (PM10), nitrogen dioxides (NO2, NOx), ozone (O3), and carbon monoxide (CO). RESULTS In total, 21 studies with 222,051 patients with PD were eligible for inclusion. We found marginally significant increased risk of PD with per 10-μg/m3 increase in concentration of PM2.5 (RR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.98-1.19), NO2 (RR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.99-1.07), and O3 (RR = 1.01, 95% CI = 1.00-1.02). A positive but non-significant association was also detected for CO (RR = 1.32, 95% CI = 0.82-2.11). Furthermore, an inverse PD-SS relationship was noted irrespective of exposure occasions and timing (at home: RR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.56-0.95; at work: RR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.57-1.17; in children: RR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.76-1.08). Both sensitivity and subgroup analyses generated results comparable with those of the overall analyses. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that exposure to PM2.5, NO2, and O3 might contribute to higher risk of PD, whereas SS conferring reduced PD risk. Public and environmental health strategies that aim at reducing outdoor AP levels might reduce the burden of PD. More prospective cohort studies with personal exposure measurements are warranted in the future.
