Use-result Surveillance for PADCEV Injection 20 mg and 30 mg (Enfortumab Vedotin) in South Korea

Enfortumab vedotin (or PADCEV Injection) is a treatment for cancer in the bladder lining (urothelial cancer). PADCEV Injection is now available to treat this cancer.
People in this study will be adults in South Korea with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. During their care, the person's doctor will have prescribed PADCEV Injection and other medicines to treat their cancer. People in the study will be treated according to their clinic's standard practice. This study is about collecting information only.
This study will survey people who know they are receiving PADCEV Injection. The aims of the study are to check outcomes of treatment with PADCEV and record any medical problems during the study.
Once a doctor has prescribed PADCEV Injection, a person in the study will be observed for up to 48 weeks (about 1 year) after their first dose. During this time, a person's medical records will be reviewed to check for any medical problems and to follow the condition of their cancer. If a person in the study stops taking PADCEV Injection sooner than 48 weeks, records will be reviewed until 30 days (1 month) after each person's last dose of PADCEV Injection or until they start a different medicine for their cancer.

BACKGROUNDThis study aimed to investigate the prevalence of claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) positivity, with a particular focus on intratumoral heterogeneity, and its association with clinicopathological features in metastatic or unresectable gastric cancer (GC).PATIENTS AND METHODSWe investigated 400 patients who received systemic chemotherapy for unresectable, metastatic, or recurrent GC. Immunohistochemistry for CLDN18 (43-14A), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), and fibroblast growth factor receptor 2, as well as HER2 silver in situ hybridization (ISH), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) ISH, and microsatellite instability testing were carried out. CD3+, CD8+, CD4+, and Foxp3-positive immune cell densities were calculated using digital image analysis.RESULTSIn GC cases with any CLDN18.2 expression, more than half of the cases (61.3%) showed different expression results between four different tissue microarray (TMA) cores. When comparing CLDN18.2 status between whole tissue sections and the combined results from the four TMA cores, discrepancies were observed in only 2 out of 85 GC cases (2.4%), with 1 false positive and 1 false negative. After considering intratumoral heterogeneity, a CLDN18.2 positivity rate of 31.3% was observed among the 400 GC patients. CLDN18.2 positivity was rare in GCs located in the antrum (or lower third) and in HER2-positive cases but was common in EBV-positive GCs (P < 0.05). No differences in overall survival (OS) were observed according to CLDN18.2 positivity (P = 0.116). Additionally, there was no association between OS and CLDN18.2 positivity in patients treated with fluoropyrimidine plus platinum, chemotherapy plus trastuzumab, paclitaxel with or without ramucirumab, and immuno-oncologic agents. CLDN18.2-positive/PD-L1-high GCs showed statistically significantly longer OS than others (P = 0.025) and higher CD8+ T-cell densities in both the tumor center and periphery (P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONSCharacterizing unresectable, metastatic, or recurrent GC with positive CLDN18.2 expression and evaluating intratumoral heterogeneity and prognostic implications of various therapeutics help advance treatment strategies and develop new therapies for patients with GC.

Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Tacrolimus and Low-Dose Corticosteroid with High-Dose Corticosteroid for Minimal Change Nephrotic Syndrome in Adults

Significance StatementSteroid resistance, relapse, and side effects are common issues in use of high-dose steroids as first-line treatment for adult minimal change nephrotic syndrome. Tacrolimus is used as a steroid-sparing immunosuppressant to reduce adverse effects of long-term or repeated steroid treatment, but no large-scale randomized study has compared combined tacrolimus and low-dose steroid with high-dose steroid in treating minimal change nephrotic syndrome in adults. In this open-label randomized trial, the authors found that treatment with tacrolimus plus low-dose steroid was noninferior to high-dose steroid for complete remission at 8 weeks, and that treatment with a maintenance dose of tacrolimus during steroid tapering reduced the relapse rate, with no clinically-relevant safety differences. This indicates that tacrolimus is an effective alternative to high-dose steroids in this disease, although investigation into long-term safety is warranted.BackgroundTacrolimus is used as a steroid-sparing immunosuppressant in adults with minimal change nephrotic syndrome. However, combined treatment with tacrolimus and low-dose steroid has not been compared with high-dose steroid for induction of clinical remission in a large-scale randomized study.MethodsIn this 24-week open-label noninferiority study, we randomized 144 adults with minimal change nephrotic syndrome to receive 0.05 mg/kg twice-daily tacrolimus plus once-daily 0.5 mg/kg prednisolone, or once-daily 1 mg/kg prednisolone alone, for up to 8 weeks or until achieving complete remission. Two weeks after complete remission, we tapered the steroid to a maintenance dose of 5–7.5 mg/d in both groups until 24 weeks after study drug initiation. The primary end point was complete remission within 8 weeks (urine protein: creatinine ratio <0.2 g/g). Secondary end points included time until remission and relapse rates (proteinuria and urine protein: creatinine ratio >3.0 g/g) after complete remission to within 24 weeks of study drug initiation.ResultsComplete remission within 8 weeks occurred in 53 of 67 patients (79.1%) receiving tacrolimus and low-dose steroid and 53 of 69 patients (76.8%) receiving high-dose steroid; this difference demonstrated noninferiority, with an upper confidence limit below the predefined threshold (20%) in both intent-to-treat (11.6%) and per-protocol (17.0%) analyses. Groups did not significantly differ in time until remission. Significantly fewer patients relapsed on maintenance tacrolimus (3–8 ng/ml) plus tapered steroid versus tapered steroid alone (5.7% versus 22.6%, respectively; P=0.01). There were no clinically relevant safety differences.ConclusionsCombined tacrolimus and low-dose steroid was noninferior to high-dose steroid for complete remission induction in adults with minimal change nephrotic syndrome. Relapse rates were significantly lower with maintenance tacrolimus and steroid compared with steroid alone. No clinically-relevant differences in safety findings were observed.

BackgroundThis study aimed to develop and validate the Kidney Transplantation and Quality of Life (KTQoL) questionnaire to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) in Korean kidney transplantation (KT) patients. During the validation, the KTQoL was used to compare the QoL of KT patients before and after conversion from twice-daily to a once-daily regimen of tacrolimus.MethodsConstruct and content validity of the 24-item KTQoL was evaluated using factor analysis and a panel of experts, respectively. The questionnaire was validated in 50 KT patients, conducted before and after conversion from twice-daily to once-daily tacrolimus. Internal consistency was evaluated based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient.ResultsThe KTQoL showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.71 to 0.88). Besides the Concerns category, both the general and specific QoL of KT patients were relatively good (≥70% of positive responses) and did not change markedly after conversion to the once-daily regimen (42.9±8.8 vs. 43.6±8.6, P=0.740). After conversion, men scored better than women in total KTQoL, Specific QoL, and Symptoms, while employed patients had better Daily Life scores and showed greater improvement in Daily Life scores compared with unemployed patients.ConclusionsThe KTQoL seems to be a reliable instrument to evaluate general and specific QoL in Korean KT patients. Most patients evaluated their QoL positively. Conversion to once-daily tacrolimus had no significant effect on QoL in the total sample of KT patients. The QoL of men and/or employed persons might improve more after conversion to once-daily tacrolimus.
