The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity of Vemurafenib in combination with Fotemustine in Patients with unresectable Stage IV melanoma harboring V600 BRAF mutation who recurred while in treatment with Vemurafenib. In addition the feasibility and safety profile of prolonging treatment of this drugs combination will be assessed.

Detection of cell‐free tumor DNA in cerebrospinal fluid as a diagnostic biomarker for leptomeningeal melanoma metastasis: A case series

Article

Author: Vounckx, Manon ; Neyns, Bart ; Lauwyck, Justine ; Awada, Gil ; Kessels, Jolien I. ; Dirven, Iris ; Vanbinst, Anne‐Marie

Abstract:

Leptomeningeal melanoma metastases (LMM) are associated with poor survival. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, brain MRI and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. Inconclusive findings at initial presentation can delay treatment. In this single‐center case series, detection of BRAFV600‐ and NRASQ61‐mutant cell‐free tumor DNA (cfDNA) in CSF was evaluated as a complementary diagnostic biomarker. In 12 patients with clinical suspicion of LMM, a retrospective analysis of MRI, CSF cytology and cfDNA analysis on 1 mL of CSF using the Idylla® platform was carried out. Nine patients displayed MRI abnormalities suggesting LMM. CSF analysis identified malignant cells in three patients (including one without MRI abnormalities). BRAFV600‐ or NRASQ61‐mutant cfDNA was detected in CSF of nine patients (eight with and one without MRI abnormalities; all patients with positive CSF cytology). Subsequent follow‐up confirmed LMM in all patients with positive and in one patient with a negative CSF cfDNA analysis (sensitivity 81.8%; specificity 100%). Our findings suggest that analyzing BRAFV600‐ and NRASQ61‐mutant cfDNA in CSF using the Idylla® platform holds promise as a sensitive and specific complementary diagnostic biomarker for LMM, particularly in case of inconsistency between imaging and CSF cytology. The 110‐min analysis can facilitate urgent treatment decisions.

Long term follow-up of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma treated by intraoperative photodynamic therapy: an update from the INDYGO trial (NCT03048240)

Article

Author: Reyns, Nicolas ; Bonneterre, Marie-Edith ; Vannod-Michel, Quentin ; Vauleon, Enora ; Peciu-Florianu, Iulia

Abstract:

Purpose:

Glioblastoma remains incurable despite optimal multimodal management. The interim analysis of open label, single arm INDYGO pilot trial showed actuarial 12-months progression-free survival (PFS) of 60% (median 17.1 months), actuarial 12-months overall survival (OS) of 80% (median 23.1 months). We report updated, exploratory analyses of OS, PFS, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for patients receiving intraoperative photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride (5-ALA HCl).

Methods:

Ten patients were included (May 2017 – April 2021) for standardized therapeutic approach including 5-ALA HCl fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS), followed by intraoperative PDT with a single 200 J/cm2 dose of light. Postoperatively, patients received adjuvant therapy (Stupp protocol) then followed every 3 months (clinical and cerebral MRI) and until disease progression and/or death. Procedure safety and toxicity occurring during the first four weeks after PDT were assessed. Data concerning relapse, HRQOL and survival were prospectively collected and analyzed.

Results:

At the cut-off date (i.e., November 1st 2023), median follow-up was 23 months (9,7–71,4). No unacceptable or unexpected toxicities and no treatment-related deaths occurred during the study. Kaplan–Meier estimated 23.4 months median OS, actuarial 12-month PFS rate 60%, actuarial 12-month, 24-month, and 5-year OS rates 80%, 50% and 40%, respectively. Four patients were still alive (1 patient free of recurrence).

Conclusion:

At 5 years-follow-up, intraoperative PDT with surgical maximal excision as initial therapy and standard adjuvant treatment suggests an increase of time to recurrence and overall survival in a high proportion of patients. Quality of life was maintained without any severe side effects.

Predicted concentrations of antineoplastic drugs in the aquatic environment: The case of Ría de Vigo (NW, Spain)

Article

Author: Couñago-Fernández, Moisés ; Otero, Pablo ; Muniategui-Lorenzo, Soledad ; Paradela-Carreiro, Adolfo ; Samartín-Ucha, Marisol ; Martínez-López de Castro, Noemí

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) mandates Environmental Risk Assessments (ERAs) since 2006 to determine potential risks of new marketed medicines. Drugs with a Predicted Environmental Concentration (PEC) in inland surface waters exceeding 0.01 μg L^-1 require further environmental risk assessment. PEC may be refined based on prevalence data and/or based on the treatment regimen. In this study, based on EMA regulations, refined PEC of 108 antineoplastic drugs in coastal waters were determined based on the consumption in a coastal health area during 2021, identifying six drugs with potential environmental risk in surface waters (hydroxyurea, capecitabine, abiraterone, ibrutinib, imatinib and 5-fluorouracil) and two in marine ecosystem (hydroxyurea and capecitabine). Comparison of these refined PECs with data from marketing laboratories revealed significant disparities, suggesting the need for regular updates, especially with changes in drug indications or financing. Notably, the identified drugs are not yet on the main reference lists of emerging contaminants.
