Article Abstract

Background: Patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who develop extramedullary disease (EMD) generally have a poor prognosis, highlighting the urgent need for new therapies. We report effectiveness outcomes and safety in patients with and without EMD from the pooled analysis of LocoMMotion and MoMMent.

Methods: LocoMMotion and MoMMent-1 are prospective, noninterventional, consecutive studies assessing the evolving standard of care from 20192022 in patients with triple-class exposed RRMM.

Results: Of 302 patients, 29 had EMD per investigator discretion and only 15 patients were assessed as having true extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP; defined as patients with ≥1 EMP lesion) by the response review committee. The 29 EMD patients received 21 unique regimens (most commonly chemotherapy-based regimens). Of the 29 patients with EMD, overall response rate (ORR) was 24.1%, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2.66 months, median overall survival (OS) was 7.16 months, and median time to next treatment (TTNT) was 3.09 months. All responses were lower (ORR) and shorter (median PFS, OS, and TTNT) in patients with EMD vs patients without EMD. Nineteen (65.5%) patients with EMD received ≥1 subsequent lines of therapy. Of those, two (10.5%) patients received bispecific antibodies and achieved a partial response or better; three (15.8%) patients received antibody-drug conjugates (responses were unknown or not determined at data cut-off), and no patients received chimeric antigen receptorT cell therapy.

Conclusions: These results demonstrate the urgent need for more effective novel therapies for patients with EMD and highlight the need to use clear definitions of EMD and EMD response criteria for clinical trials.

Background And Objectives: Deucravacitinib, a first-in-class, oral, selective, allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor, demonstrated efficacy across the primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints in the phase 2 PAISLEY SLE trial in patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, we describe 2 phase 3 trials [POETYK SLE-1 (NCT05617677), POETYK SLE-2 (NCT05620407)] which will assess the efficacy and safety of deucravacitinib in patients with active SLE. These phase 3 trials have been designed to replicate the successful elements of the phase 2 trial, including its glucocorticoid-tapering strategy and disease activity adjudication.

Background and objectives Esophageal motility disorders (EMDs) are a major cause of non‑obstructive dysphagia. However, regional data from eastern India are limited. This study aims to describe the spectrum of EMDs in patients with non‑obstructive dysphagia using high‑resolution manometry (HRM) at a tertiary care center in eastern India, and to compare clinical symptoms, and endoscopic and barium findings in patients with achalasia versus non‑achalasia.

Objectives: Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a heterogeneous autoimmune condition needing targeted treatment approaches and improved understanding of molecular mechanisms driving clinical phenotypes. We utilised exploratory proteomics from a longitudinal North American cohort of patients with new-onset JDM to identify biological pathways at disease onset and follow-up, tissue-specific disease activity, and myositis-specific autoantibody (MSA) status.

Methods: We measured 3072 plasma proteins (Olink panel) in 56 patients with JDM within 12 weeks of starting treatment (from the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry and 3 additional sites) and 8 paediatric controls.

Purpose: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has transformed outcomes for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and has impacted the timing and use of cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN). As ICB responses vary, we evaluated whether radiographic and radiomic biomarkers were associated with clinical and pathological outcomes.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included ICB-treated mRCC patients without upfront CN.

At least one-third of patients with localized rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and 60-70% of patients with metastatic RMS experience progressive disease or relapse. Following relapse, outcomes generally remain poor with limited treatment options and a high risk of subsequent recurrence. Optimal treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach incorporating chemotherapy with local control.
