Project description:80 - 90 % of the patients treated with anti-EGFR antibodies (panitumumab or cetuximab) experience skin toxicity, mostly acne like skin rash.
A standardized treatment of skin rash is neither established as standard arm for clinical trials nor as guideline for the treatment of skin toxicity in clinical practice. While an improvement of QoL has been demonstrated for panitumumab and cetuximab in comparison to best supportive care the data basis for patient related outcomes regarding skin toxicity deriving from randomized trials is still small.
Recent surveys among German oncologist revealed that physicians are reluctant to use oral antibiotics as preemptive treatment . Only 19 out of 110 oncologists stated that they are thinking about using preemptive treatment in patients with acne-like skin rash.
Thus, in the present trial two main questions will be addressed:
(i) Can preemptive treatment with oral doxycycline be replaced by a sequential skin treatment strategy (i.e. local treatment with erythromycin followed by doxycycline in case of inefficacy = development of acne) without compromising treatment efficacy of skin toxicity treatment? (ii) Comparison of general and skin related QoL between both treatment arms.

Project description:We randomly selected 60 patients who completed paclitaxel treatment for high-throughput sequencing. Grade 2 or higher (grade 2+) neuropathy has been defined as high-PIPN and Grade 1 as low-PIPN according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE version 4.0) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer CIPN specific self-report questionnaire (EORTC QOL-CIPN20). We compared gut microbiome signatures in high-PIPN, low-PIPN, and healthy controls.

Project description:EGFR targeted anti-cancer therapy induces severe skin toxicities, which affect life quality in patients. The lack of mechanistic details underlying these adverse events hampers their effective management. Here we identified EGFR as the epidermal master-regulator of the ERK pathway, which secures skin barrier integrity upon hair eruption. EGFR deficient epidermis displays a Th2-dominated expression signature and is permissive for excessive microbiota outgrowth. In the absence of EGFR, opening of the follicular ostia during hair eruption allows invasion of commensal microbiota aggravating barrier disruption and initiating an additional Th1 and Th17 response. Chronic folliculitis leads to Staphylococcus aureus dominated dysbiosis, further exacerbating inflammation and expanding barrier defects. Restoration of epidermal ERK signaling via therapeutic FGF7 treatment or transgenic SOS expression rescues skin barrier integrity in the absence of EGFR. These data reveal a gatekeeper function of the EGFR/ERK cascade in hair follicles securing the epidermal barrier around the erupting hair shaft.

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a standard-of-care for the treatment of advanced melanoma, but their use is limited by immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Proteomic analysis and multiplex cytokine/chemokine assay from serum at baseline and at irAEs onset in 82 patients indicated aberrant T-cell activity with differential expression of Type I and III immune signatures. This was in line with an increase in the proportions of monocytes and decrease of IL-17A producing CD4+ T-cells in the peripheral blood in single cell RNA sequencing. Multiplex immunohistochemistry on ICI-induced skin rash and inflamed colon showed increase in the proportion of CD4+ T-cells with IL-17A expression. Anti-IL17A antagonistic mAbs were administered in two patients with severe myocarditis, colitis and skin rash with resolution of the irAE. This study demonstrates the potential role of Type III CD4+ T-cells in the irAEs development and provides proof-of-principle evidence to support a clinical trial examining anti-IL17A in their management.

Project description:Immunotherapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), have revolutionized the treatment of many cancers, producing significant improvements in survival in patients with many different cancers. However, the intended anti-tumor effects also result in a unique form of autoimmunity, known as immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which have emerged as a limiting factor for many immunotherapies. Cutaneous irAEs (cirAEs), the most frequently occurring ICI–related toxicities, have been associated with improved efficacy and survival but, in their severe forms, require systemic steroids and have in cases led to premature ICI discontinuation and fatality. There is a need for both robust biomarkers and adequate models that effectively predict which patients who develop irAEs may have improved outcomes. Using a microfluidic droplet technology that generates "mini" patient-derived organoids called MicroOrganoSpheres (MOSTM), we successfully generated skin MOS from skin biopsy samples in both healthy skin and tumor-involved skin that sustain the original patient skin immune microenvironment over three weeks. Using this model, we assessed skin cell toxicity and cytokine release in response to ICI and targeted therapies. Clinical responses were largely consistent with the skin and tumor MOS assay readouts, indicating that MOS recapitulates the potential association between skin irAEs and efficacy. Matched pairs of patient melanoma and skin MOS showed good concordance with patient outcome indicating that MOS recapitulates the potential association between skin irAEs and efficacy. Enrichment of genes associated with atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, and psoriatic dermatitis were observed in MOS generated from skin of an ICI-sensitive patient compared to the MOS generated from skin of an ICI-resistant patient. These results indicated that the skin MOS platform can potentially predict the dermatological toxicity of ICI. As the MOS assay can be completed within 12 days after biopsy acquisition, this novel technology may enable personalized medicine approaches by prediction of cirAEs and efficacy for individual patients.

Project description:Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of organic chemicals that contain multiple carbon-fluorine bonds, which make them highly stable and widespread in our environment, even in the human body. They have been detected in cord blood and showed correlation with neonatal health abnormalities such as weight loss. Here, we utilized human embryonic stem cell-based model to assess the early developmental toxicity of six PFAS (PFOA, PFHxA, PFBA, PFOS, PFHxS, and PFBS) and their skin developmental toxicity. We employed global monolayer differentiated model to mimic the early embryonic development and performed non-neural ectoderm (NNE) differentiation which can give rise to keratinocytes to imitate early skin development. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that PFOS caused the most differentially expressed genes (DEGs) both in day 16 global monolayer samples and NNE samples to making it the most toxic of the six PFAS. Further validation of gene expression levels showed that the TGF-β signaling pathways were involved in the early global developmental toxicity and in the early skin developmental toxicity of PFOS. Interestingly, our results showed that PFOS inhibited the ciliogenesis of NNE cells, which may interfere with the transduction of TGF-β, Notch, Hedgehog, and Hippo signaling pathways, ultimately inhibiting early embryonic skin development and posing a potential threat to the occurrence of congenital skin diseases. Overall, our study suggests a potential toxicity mechanism by which PFAS inhibit ciliogenesis to interfere with the transduction of important signaling pathways, leading to early global developmental toxicity as well as early embryonic skin developmental toxicity and potential congenital skin diseases.

Project description:Blood platelets destined for transfusion release panoply of molecules during preparation and storage. The leukoreduction process made the transfusion safer but did not completely abolish the adverse events. The rationale is to study the proteome profile of platelet components SDA-PC (platelet pellets) involved in transfusion adverse events.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Drug-related adverse events (AEs) are reported to be common amongst patients receiving outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT). However, comparative data regarding intravenous (iv) catheter-related AEs are lacking. OBJECTIVES:To compare drug- and iv catheter-related AEs from a large UK OPAT centre. PATIENTS AND METHODS:We reviewed 544 OPAT episodes [median (IQR) age: 57 (39-71) years, 60% male, 13% with diabetes] with a median (IQR) duration of 7 (2-18) days. Clinically significant drug- and iv catheter-related AEs were calculated as a percentage of OPAT episodes with an AE and also as AEs per 1000 iv drug/catheter days. RESULTS:Drug-related AEs complicated 13 (2.4%) OPAT episodes at 1.7 (95% CI 0.9-2.9) per 1000 drug days. Catheter-related AEs occurred more frequently, complicating 32 (5.9%) episodes at 5.7 (95% CI 4.2-7.9) per 1000 iv catheter days (χ2 test for difference in AE rate: P < 0.001). Non-radiologically guided midline catheters were associated with the most frequent AEs (n = 23) at 15.6 (95% CI 10.3-23.4) per 1000 iv catheter days compared with other types of iv catheters (HR 8.4, 95% CI 2.4-51.9, P < 0.004), and self-administration was associated with a higher rate of catheter-related AEs at 12.0 (95% CI 6.0-23.9) per 1000 iv catheter days (HR 4.15, 95% CI 1.7-9.1, P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS:Clinically significant iv catheter-related AEs occurred more frequently than drug-related AEs, especially when using non-radiologically guided midline catheters. Regular review of the need for iv therapy and switching to oral antimicrobials when appropriate is likely to minimize OPAT-related AEs.

Project description:BackgroundLimited data are available on adverse events among children admitted to hospital. The Canadian Paediatric Adverse Events Study was done to describe the epidemiology of adverse events among children in hospital in Canada.MethodsWe performed a 2-stage medical record review at 8 academic pediatric centres and 14 community hospitals in Canada. We reviewed charts from patients admitted from April 2008 through March 2009, evenly distributed across 4 age groups (0 to 28 d; 29 to 365 d; > 1 to 5 yr and > 5 to 18 yr). In stage 1, nurses and health records personnel who had received training in the use of the Canadian Paediatric Trigger Tool reviewed medical records to detect triggers for possible adverse events. In stage 2, physicians reviewed the charts identified as having triggers and described the adverse events.ResultsA total of 3669 children were admitted to hospital during the study period. The weighted rate of adverse events was 9.2%. Adverse events were more frequent in academic pediatric centres than in community hospitals (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.98, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.65-5.39). The incidence of preventable adverse events was not significantly different between types of hospital, but nonpreventable adverse events were more common in academic pediatric centres (adjusted OR 4.39, 95% CI 2.08-9.27). Surgical events predominated overall and occurred more frequently in academic pediatric centres than in community hospitals (37.2% v. 21.5%, relative risk [RR] 1.7, 95% CI 1.0-3.1), whereas events associated with diagnostic errors were significantly less frequent (11.1% v. 23.1%, RR 0.5, 95% CI 0.2-0.9).InterpretationMore children have adverse events in academic pediatric centres than in community hospitals; however, adverse events in the former are less likely to be preventable. There are many opportunities to reduce harm affecting children in hospital in Canada, particularly related to surgery, intensive care and diagnostic error.
