ABSTRACT Bipolar disorder’s (BD) clinical heterogeneity has an unresolved genetic basis. We meta-analyzed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 16 BD subphenotypes in 226,032 individuals from 57 cohorts (38,022 cases); 10 advanced to multivariate and multi-trait analyses. Four factors (compulsive, psychotic, dysregulated, internalizing) explained 82.8% of shared genetic variance. BD1 and BD2 loaded on distinct factors despite a high genetic correlation; 87.0% of common-factor loci were significant in neither subtype. Unipolar mania aligned with psychosis over internalizing, and was distinguishable from BD1, and rapid cycling showed heritable cross-domain liability. We identified 356 risk loci, 158 novel, including the first univariate-GWAS associations for psychosis, unipolar mania, rapid cycling and schizoaffective disorder—and 249 credible genes (89 high-confidence), 12 with approved-drug or clinical-phase annotations. Cell-type association showed a midbrain dopaminergic–GABAergic gradient along the psychotic factor. BD’s genetic architecture appears hierarchical—a general liability resolving into dimensions of course and comorbidity beyond diagnostic subtypes.

11pt, fleqn, a4paper, ]LegrandOrangeBook Background: Early catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) improves outcomes, but the optimal timing, especially in heart failure (HF) subtypes, remains unclear. Objective: To evaluate the impact of ablation timing on outcomes in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Methods: We used the TriNetX database (2010–2024) to identify HF patients with AF who underwent ablation. Patients were classified as early ablation (≤1 year of first AF diagnosis) or delayed ablation (1–3 years), with propensity score matching (PSM) applied to balance the baseline characteristics. The primary outcome was AF recurrence, defined by repeat ablation, direct current cardioversion (DCCV), or antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) use after a 3-month blanking period. Secondary outcomes included stroke, hospitalization, and mortality over 5 years. Results: After PSM, delayed ablation was associated with higher AF recurrence in both HFrEF (HR 1.25, p < 0.001) and HFpEF (HR 1.27, p = 0.01), as seen in multivariate analysis. In HFrEF, delayed ablation was associated with higher incidence of re-do ablation, AAD use, and DCCV, while in HFpEF, higher recurrence with delayed ablation was associated with increased AAD use. Both cohorts had similar stroke and mortality rates between early and delayed ablation. CONCLUSIONS: Delayed ablation in HFrEF and HFpEF was linked to higher AF recurrence, driven by increased redo ablations, DCCV, AAD use in HFrEF, and higher AAD use in HFpEF. Stroke and mortality rates were similar, suggesting earlier ablation may enhance rhythm control without affecting long-term survival. Condensed Abstract Delayed atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation was associated with higher (AF) recurrence in both HFrEF and HFpEF. In HFrEF, delayed ablation led to increased use of re-do ablation, cardioversion and antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs). In HFpEF, only AAD use was significantly higher with delayed ablation. Stroke and mortality rates were similar between early and delayed ablation groups.

Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasingly diagnosed early, close to its first occurrence due to: (i) increased public awareness with self-screening; (ii) health care initiatives including population screening and opportunistic case finding; and (iii) increased use and surveillance of implantable cardiac devices. At its onset, AF is often low burden, and cardiovascular co-morbidities may be absent or at an early stage. Thus, the management of recent-onset AF has become an issue of growing importance. Professional guidelines have traditionally focused on anticoagulant thromboprophylaxis, generally recommending a cautious approach to rhythm control, and priority has been given to rate control to alleviate symptoms. In recent guidelines, the importance of managing lifestyle and co-morbidities has increased. The AF-SCREEN collaboration proposes that a vigorous approach to active management of recent-onset AF may be warranted. This includes addressing co-morbidities and promoting healthy lifestyles to prevent the emergence or progression of AF and associated cardiovascular disease, as well as the initiation of active rhythm control ± anticoagulation to prevent AF-related morbidity and mortality, including stroke and heart failure (HF). Intuitively, intervention early after AF onset would be beneficial since lifestyle and co-morbidity management, plus rhythm control and anticoagulation, are important contributors to improved outcomes in patients with established AF, but robust evidence is lacking for recent-onset AF. There is a delicate balance between achieving favourable outcomes such as preventing strokes, HF and AF progression vs the complications and potential adverse effects of interventions. Given the serious long-term consequences, innovative approaches are necessary to determine the value and risks of initiating active therapy very early in the course of AF. More data are needed to guide the best management of recent-onset AF, bearing AF burden in mind. Long-term studies using large national databases linked to electronic medical records and rhythm monitoring devices offer excellent opportunities. Shorter-term studies focusing on reducing AF burden to slow AF progression and studies focusing on outcomes such as HF could be used in both randomized clinical trials and observational cohort studies.

8513 Background: The MET pathway is a known mediator of EGFR-TKI resistance and represents a therapeutic vulnerability to select MET-TKIs. Savo is an oral, highly selective MET-TKI that, when combined with osi, has the potential to overcome MET-driven resistance after progressive disease (PD) on osi. The Phase 2 SAVANNAH study has demonstrated clinically meaningful activity with the combination of savo + osi in patients (pts) with EGFR-mutated (EGFRm) advanced NSCLC and MET overexpression/amplification (NCT03778229). Isolating the efficacy of savo in the use of savo + osi is a key question for this combination. Methods: A subset of SAVANNAH included eligible pts who had EGFRm advanced NSCLC with MET overexpression (IHC 3+ intensity in ≥90% of tumor cells [IHC3+/≥90%]) and/or amplification (≥10 MET gene copies by FISH [FISH10+]) after PD on first-line (1L) osi; asymptomatic stable brain metastases (treated/untreated) were allowed. Pts were randomized 2:1 (double-blind) to savo 300 mg BID + osi 80 mg QD, or savo 300 mg BID + PBO (stratified by investigator [INV] assessed baseline [BL] brain metastases [yes/no]), until INV-assessed PD per RECIST 1.1. Brain imaging occurred at BL and PD; pts with brain metastases were re-imaged at each tumor assessment to PD. Endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), and progression-free survival (PFS) by BICR and INV; CNS PFS, and presence/absence of CNS lesions at PD by BICR. Results: Overall, 73 pts were randomized (savo + osi n=48; savo + PBO n=25). At BL, median age: 67 vs 65 years, female: 73% vs 64%, White: 73% vs 52% in the savo + osi and savo + PBO arms, respectively. Efficacy outcomes (ORR, DoR, and PFS) were higher with savo + osi than savo + PBO (Table). CNS PFS events by CNS BICR occurred in 5/14 (36% savo + osi) and 2/4 pts (50% savo + PBO). In pts without BL brain metastases, none of the 13 pts (savo + osi) with RECIST PD by BICR had a new CNS lesion; 6/11 pts in the savo + PBO arm developed a new CNS lesion. Conclusions: In EGFRm advanced NSCLC with MET IHC3+/≥90% and/or FISH10+ status after PD on 1L osi, efficacy of savo 300 mg BID + osi was numerically greater than savo + PBO and showed promising CNS activity. To date, this is one of the largest randomized data sets presented evaluating an oral MET-TKI in EGFRm NSCLC. Efficacy findings from SAVANNAH suggest that targeting both EGFR and MET is key and support further investigation of savo + osi and CNS activity in the Phase 3 SAFFRON study.

8501 Background: TROPION-Lung02 (NCT04526691) evaluated the TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) Dato-DXd plus pembro combination with or without Pt-CT in aNSCLC. Here we report primary analyses of pts receiving combination therapy in the 1L setting. Methods: Pts across 6 cohorts were dosed with Dato-DXd (4 or 6 mg/kg) plus pembro 200 mg alone (doublet) or with pembro plus Pt-CT (triplet; cisplatin 75 mg/m 2 or carboplatin AUC 5) Q3W. PD-L1 expression (tumor proportion score) was assessed locally by immunohistochemistry (22C3 assay). Primary objectives were safety and tolerability; efficacy was a secondary objective. Results: As of Apr 29, 2024, 96 pts received either the doublet (n=42) or triplet (n=54) combination as 1L therapy; 29% and 15% of pts were ongoing, respectively. Median ages were 65 (doublet) and 64 years (triplet). Median treatment durations were 9.7 and 5.8 months, respectively. Stomatitis (doublet, 57%; triplet, 33%) and nausea (doublet, 42%; triplet, 48%), primarily Gr 1–2, were the most common adverse events (AEs) across both regimens. Treatment related serious AEs occurred in 5 (12%) and 12 (22%) pts in each cohort and no deaths related to study drug were seen. Efficacy outcomes, including by histology, are summarized in the Table. Biomarker analyses, including efficacy by PD-L1 status, will be presented. Conclusions: In this largest data set to date evaluating an ADC combined with an anti-PD-1/L1 agent in the 1L setting, the combination of Dato-DXd plus pembro treatment both with and without Pt-CT elicited durable antitumor activity in pts with aNSCLC. Tolerability of the combinations was as expected, based on known profiles of the individual agents. Clinical trial information: NCT04526691 .

1652 Background: Tarlatamab is a bispecific T-cell engager targeting DLL3 that has shown promise as a therapy in small cell lung cancer. Administering tarlatamab requires careful consideration of immune-related adverse events (AE), including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Prescribing information recommends patients to be monitored for 22-24 hours in an appropriate healthcare setting for cycle 1 (C1), days 1 and 8. At Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN (MCR), tarlatamab is initially administered in a hospital-based outpatient (HBO) setting utilizing an innovative remote patient monitoring system (RPM). In this study, we describe our RPM process and patient outcomes thus far. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records of patients treated with tarlatamab from August through December 2024. All patients received tarlatamab in the HBO setting and were enrolled into RPM for C1, days 1–10. Patients attended daily HBO visits on days 1–3 and 8–10 of C1 and were required to stay within 30 minutes of the hospital with a 24-hour caregiver for 48 hours following infusion days in C1-2. Data on patient characteristics, frequency of RPM alerts, escalations, rate of CRS & ICANS, and need for hospitalizations were reported using descriptive metrics. Results: As part of RPM, patients are provided with a kit containing preconnected Bluetooth-enabled devices to measure vital signs (VS), including blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), temperature (T), and pulse oximetry (SpO2). The kit also includes a cellular-enabled tablet for electronic ICANS questionnaires, which upload directly into our electronic medical record system. Patients are required to log VS four times daily, monitored in real-time by a centralized virtual RPM nursing (RN) team. Embedded decision trees trigger alerts, prompting the RN team to contact patients and follow care pathways for escalations as needed. Among the 16 patients treated, the median age was 68 years, and the median ECOG PS was 1. During the 10-day RPM period, a total of 2,233 VS entries were recorded. Of these, 88% (14/16) of patients had alerts triggered, with a median of 2 alerts per patient. Alerts were mostly for out-of-range systolic BP (56%), HR (56%), and T (25%), with none for SpO2. The RN team escalated alerts in 50% (8/16) of the patients. Overall, 38% (6/16) of patients were managed entirely in the HBO setting. Among the 63% hospitalized, 56% had CRS limited to grade (G) 2, and 31% had ICANS limited to G3. Two patients were hospitalized for other indications. The mean length of stay was 2.6 days, with no ICU admissions. Conclusions: Our experience shows that frequent monitoring required with tarlatamab can be safely and effectively executed in an outpatient setting with the utilization of an RPM system. It can potentially minimize the burden of hospitalizations for patients and the healthcare system.

e20120 Background: In May 2024, the FDA approved tarlatamab, a Delta-like ligand (DLL3)/CD3-targeted bispecific T-cell engager, for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) with disease progression following platinum-based chemotherapy and at least one other prior line of therapy. We aim to evaluate the real-world outcomes of agent. Methods: We conducted a retrospective multi-site single center analysis of adult patients who received tarlatamab at Mayo clinic sites including Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Data analysis was performed with Blue Sky statistics version 10.4. Results: Twenty patients with a median age 67 years (range 43-76) were included. Patients were predominantly women (55%) and all had a history of tobacco use. Metastatic disease commonly involved liver (55%) and CNS (60%). Majority (90%) had received prior PDL-1 therapy. 25% (5/20) of patients received prior gamma knife and in addition 10% (2/20) received whole brain radiation treatment in our cohort. Median time from CNS radiation and tarlatamab initiation was 4 months (range 3-28). Other characteristics, outcomes, and toxicity are presented in Table 1. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) Grade (G) 1 was observed in 45% patients. G 2, 3 and 4 CRS were observed in 5% patients respectively. G 1 CRS was managed with acetaminophen initially followed dexamethasone 10mg or methylprednisone 1g if no improvement in 24 hours. Tocilizumab was used 20% patients for G 1,2,3 and 4 CRS depending on clinical course. Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity (ICANS) G 1 occurred in 10% patients, followed by G 2 in 15% and G 3 in 5% patients. ICANS was managed in a multidisciplinary fashion. All patients had resolution of CRS and ICANS. Conclusions: In this study investigating the real-world outcomes and toxicity of tarlatamab, a higher incidence of ICANS was observed than that reported in the DeLLphi-301 trial. The association between presence of CNS metastatic disease, prior CNS radiation and incidence of ICANS needs to be explored further. Mayo Clinic report of tarlatamab real world outcomes and toxicity.

3011 Background: BMS-986504 selectively binds to the PRMT5-MTA complex, which represents a synthetic lethal target in MTAP -del cancer cells, while sparing MTAP– wild-type cells. In the first-in-human phase 1/2 CA240-0007 study in advanced, unresectable or metastatic solid tumors with homozygous MTAP -del, BMS-986504 was found to be well tolerated and demonstrated antitumor activity in multiple tumors. Here, we report clinical results and the first PK and PD analyses of BMS-986504 from the dose escalation and expansion phases of CA240-0007. Methods: Pts with measurable/evaluable disease and no available treatment (Tx) with curative intent were enrolled; 7 doses were evaluated (50 to 800 mg) in dose escalation. Objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), time to response (TTR), safety, PK, PD, including plasma SDMA were assessed. Results: As of 2 Dec 24, 152 heavily pretreated pts were enrolled across all doses: NSCLC (n = 34), PDAC (n = 41), cholangiocarcinoma (n = 12), and mesothelioma (n = 12) were the most common tumor types. With a median f/u of 9.0 mo (95% CI 7.6–9.9), continued durable antitumor activity and deepening tumor regression were seen across tumor types and doses (ORR = 23%, DCR = 70%, median DOR = 10.5 mo, TTR = 4.6 mo). No new safety signals were identified. Most Tx-related adverse events (TRAEs) were grade (Gr) 1 or 2; 13% had Gr ≥ 3 TRAEs (Gr 3 = 12%, Gr 4 = < 1%, Gr 5 = 0). Doses from 50 to 600 mg QD were assessed for PK/PD. The AUC (0-24) after multiple doses was approximately dose proportional at 200 to 600 mg, and the terminal t 1/2 after a single dose was approximately 24 h (table). There were dose-dependent reductions in predicted plasma SDMA, with the 400 and 600 mg doses approaching the plateau. Conclusions: With longer f/u, BMS-986504 continued to show increasingly durable antitumor activity. BMS-986504 demonstrated a favorable PK/PD profile, supporting QD dosing at 400 and 600 mg. These results support further investigation of BMS-986504 at 400 and 600 mg QD as a potential first-in-class synthetic lethal Tx option in pts with advanced solid tumors with MTAP -del.

Abstract Background Although a rhythm control strategy is associated with an overall better prognosis in atrial fibrillation (AF), current guidelines suggest that only highly selected asymptomatic patients may be considered candidates for AF catheter ablation. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between symptom status and clinical outcomes in patients with AF. Methods A comprehensive search of Medline, the Cochrane Library, and Scopus was conducted up until September 30, 2024. Study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment were performed independently by three reviewers. Random-effects meta-analyses were used to pool the evidence. Results A total of 36 studies, comprising 217,850 participants, were included. Frequentist analysis revealed no significant difference between symptomatic and asymptomatic AF patients in terms of all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.97, 95% confidence interval (CI)= (0.80, 1.17)], cardiovascular mortality (HR= 1.04, 95% CI= [0.72, 1.49]), thromboembolism (HR= 1.06, 95% CI= [0.87, 1.28]), stroke (HR= 1.06, 95% CI= [0.84, 1.34]), hospitalization (HR= 1.34, 95% CI= [0.89, 2.02]), and myocardial infarction (HR= 0.98, 95% CI= [0.70, 1.36]). However, symptomatic patients exhibited a 33% increased risk of new-onset heart failure (HR= 1.33, 95% CI= [1.19, 1.49]) and a 30% reduced risk of progression to permanent AF (HR= 0.70, 95% CI= [0.54, 0.89]). Bayesian analysis produced similar results, although the association between symptom status and new-onset heart failure was not statistically significant [HR = 1.27, 95% credible interval (CrI)= (0.76, 1.93); Bayes factor (BF10)= 1.2]. Symptomatic patients had higher odds of receiving antiarrhythmic drugs (odds ratio [OR]= 1.64, 95% CI= [1.33, 2.03]) and ablation therapy (OR= 1.47, 95% CI= [1.06, 2.05]) compared to their asymptomatic counterparts. Conclusions The risk of major clinical outcomes does not significantly differ between AF patients with and without symptoms. However, asymptomatic patients have a higher risk of progressing to permanent AF.
