Interim results of a real-world observational study of eribulin in soft tissue sarcoma including rare subtypes.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Although eribulin is used to treat soft tissue sarcomas (STSs), treatment data for rare subtypes are limited. We conducted a post-marketing surveillance study to assess safety and efficacy of eribulin in STS patients stratified by subtype. METHODS:Japanese patients (n = 256) with advanced or metastatic STS receiving eribulin treatment were monitored for treatment status, adverse events, diagnostic imaging, and clinical outcomes at 3 months and 1 year. Interim analysis was performed. Patients will be monitored up to 2 years. RESULTS:Interim analysis included 3-month (n = 255), imaging (n = 226), and 1-year (n = 105) data. STS subtype distribution was normal. Median number of eribulin cycles was 3.0 (range: 1-17 cycles). Among patients with imaging data, best overall tumor response (12 weeks) was partial response, 7.5% (n = 17); stable disease, 34.5% (n = 78); and stable disease ?11 weeks, 10.2% (n = 23). Overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and clinical benefit rate (CBR) for all patients were 7.5%, 42.0% and 17.7%, respectively. ORR, DCR, and CBR were 10.3%, 32.0% and 16.5%, respectively, for patients with STS subtypes other than liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma and included responses from patients with rare STS subtypes. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occurred in 211 (82.7%) patients (42 [16.5%] patients had serious ADRs), and none led to death. ADRs leading to drug withdrawal and dose reduction occurred in 27 (10.6%) and 55 (21.6%) patients, respectively. CONCLUSION:Eribulin was generally well tolerated and showed antitumor activity against STSs, including rare subtypes that currently have few treatment options.

Project description:BackgroundSoft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are a heterogeneous group of cancers with over 100 described subtypes. While these cancers are infrequent, the prognosis is quite poor, particularly for those with stage IV metastatic disease. Patients for whom curative resection is difficult or those with recurrent metastatic disease are treated with chemotherapy, although the options are very limited. Eribulin is an approved treatment of all STS subtypes in Japan. Efficacy and safety data for the treatment of rare STS subtypes other than liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma (L-type sarcomas) are limited. This nationwide, multicenter, prospective, post-marketing observational study was conducted to assess the real-world effectiveness and safety of eribulin in Japanese patients with STS.MethodsPatients with all types of STS and who consented to eribulin treatment were eligible to participate. The observation period was 1 year, starting at treatment initiation, and clinical outcomes were followed up for 2 years after initiating treatment. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Additional outcomes included time-to-treatment failure (TTF), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety. ORR and DCR were evaluated using imaging findings. Effectiveness results were analyzed both for all patients and by STS subtype.ResultsA total of 256 patients were enrolled; 252 and 254 were included in the effectiveness and safety analysis set, respectively. Most patients (83.1%) received an initial eribulin dose of 1.4 mg/m2 (standard dose). Respective median OS (95% confidence interval [CI]) was 10.8 (8.5-13.1), 13.8 (10.1-22.3) and 6.5 (5.7-11.1) months for all, L-type, and non-L-type subtypes. The respective median TTF (95% CI) was 2.5 (2.1-2.8), 2.8 (2.3-3.7), and 2.2 (1.6-2.6) months. The ORR and DCR were 8.1 and 42.6%, respectively. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and serious ADRs were reported for 83.5 and 18.9% of patients, respectively. The main ADRs were associated with myelosuppression. No significant difference was observed in the incidence of ADRs for patients ≥65 versus <65 years old.ConclusionsEribulin demonstrated effectiveness and a manageable safety profile for patients with STS, although the effectiveness of eribulin was not demonstrated for some non-L-type subtypes.Trial registrationNCT03058406 ( ClinicalTrials.gov ).

Project description:BackgroundPhase 3 trials found mRNA-1273 was highly effective in preventing COVID-19. We conducted a prospective cohort study at Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC) to determine the real-world vaccine effectiveness (VE) of mRNA-1273 in preventing COVID-19 infection and severe disease.MethodsFor this planned interim analysis, individuals aged ≥18 years receiving 2 doses of mRNA-1273 ≥24 days apart (18/12/2020-31/03/2021) were 1:1 matched to randomly selected unvaccinated individuals by age, sex, and race/ethnicity, with follow-up through 30/06/2021. Outcomes were COVID-19 infection (SARS-CoV-2 positive molecular test or COVID-19 diagnosis code) or severe disease (COVID-19 hospitalization and COVID-19 hospital death). Adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) and confidence intervals (CI) for COVID-19 outcomes comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals were estimated by Cox proportional hazards models accounting for multiple comparisons. Adjusted VE was calculated as (1-aHR)x100. Whole genome sequencing was performed on SARS-CoV-2 positive specimens from the KPSC population.FindingsThis analysis included 352,878 recipients of 2 doses of mRNA-1273 matched to 352,878 unvaccinated individuals. VE (99·3% CI) against COVID-19 infection was 87·4% (84·8-89·6%). VE against COVID-19 hospitalization and hospital death was 95·8% (90·7-98·1%) and 97·9% (66·9-99·9%), respectively. VE was higher against symptomatic (88·3% [98·3% CI: 86·1-90·2%]) than asymptomatic COVID-19 (72·7% [53·4-84·0%]), but was generally similar across age, sex, and racial/ethnic subgroups. VE among individuals with history of COVID-19 ranged from 8·2-33·6%. The most prevalent variants were Alpha (41·6%), Epsilon (17·5%), Delta (11·5%), and Gamma (9·1%), with Delta increasing to 54·0% of variants by June 2021.InterpretationThese interim results provide reassuring evidence of the VE of 2 doses of mRNA-1273 across age, sex, and racial/ethnic subgroups, and against asymptomatic and symptomatic COVID-19, and severe COVID-19 outcomes. Among individuals with history of COVID-19, mRNA-1273 vaccination may offer added protection beyond immunity acquired from prior infection. Longer follow-up is needed to fully evaluate VE of mRNA-1273 against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.FundingModerna Inc.

Project description:IntroductionThe BBV152 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine (COVAXIN) has recently been approved for adolescents.ObjectiveWe provide the first real-world safety data of COVAXIN use in adolescents and compare with adults.MethodsA prospective observational study was initiated in January 2022. Enrolled adolescents and adults were contacted by telephone after 14 days of receiving the BBV152 vaccine. The primary outcome was vaccine safety assessed as rate of adverse events following immunization (AEFIs). Severity grading of AEFIs was done using the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scale. Interim results are presented.ResultsA total of 698 adolescents and 326 adults were enrolled. AEFIs after the first dose developed in 243 out of 670 adolescents (36.3%), with 21% reporting only local AEFIs and 15.2% reporting systemic AEFIs. Among 340 adolescents who had received the second dose of vaccine, 129 (37.9%) developed AEFIs, with only local involvement in 20.3% and systemic involvement in 17.6%. Injection site pain and fever were the common AEFIs. The majority of AEFIs were mild-moderate. Nearly 0.9% of adolescents receiving the first dose reported severe AEFIs. Atypical AEFIs were observed in 0.6-0.9% of adolescents. The majority of the AEFIs resolved in 1-2 days. AEFIs were persistent in > 2% of adolescents at day 14 after the second dose, and also in 3.7% of adults overall at follow-up. No difference was observed in AEFI incidence and patterns between adolescents and adults. Regression analysis showed females and those with a history of allergy to be, respectively, at 1.6 times and 3 times increased risk of AEFIs among adolescents.ConclusionsCOVAXIN carries an overall favorable short-term safety profile in adolescents. The observed AEFI rates in adolescents are much lower than that reported with mRNA vaccines, but head-head comparisons in the same population are required to generate relative vaccine safety data. Female adolescents and those with a history of allergy need watchfulness for severe and persistent AEFIs. With some AEFIs persisting at 14 days, a longer follow-up is recommended to strengthen the safety data of COVAXIN.
