Abstract Background: Circulating levels of THC and CBD may be altered when administered with medications that strongly or moderately inhibit or induce CYP450 enzymes responsible for metabolizing both substances. THC and CBD levels can also theoretically be altered in individuals who carry germline genetic variants or atypical phenotypes of CYP450 enzymes. In individuals where drug and gene interactions occur together, there could be a heightened impact on the circulating levels of THC and CBD. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review using a database of participants who previously completed pharmacogenomic testing and reported oral cannabis use in a medical encounter. Two pharmacogenomic-trained pharmacists reviewed medications and atypical variants in each participant to characterize the predicted effect of cannabis-drug, cannabis-gene, and cannabis-drug-gene interactions on circulating levels of THC and CBD. Results: Oral cannabis use was confirmed in 71 participants, with an average age of 68.5 years and primarily White women. Regarding THC metabolism, drug-only interactions were noted in 1 participant; both drug and gene interactions were noted in 4 participants; single- or combination-gene-only interactions were noted in 38 participants; and 28 participants had no interactions. Concerning CBD metabolism, drug-only interactions were noted in 4 participants; both drug and gene interactions were noted in 4 participants; single- or combination-gene-only interactions were noted in 36 participants; and 27 participants had no interactions. Conclusion: This study is the first, to our knowledge, to conceptualize the potential impact of drugs and atypical phenotypes on altering circulating levels of THC and CBD in a clinical sample. The absence of published clinical outcomes in this field renders it challenging to estimate clinical significance of these findings. Until such data become available, leveraging the theoretical insights into drug interactions and atypical cannabis metabolism described in our study may serve as a tool to guide clinical care.

BACKGROUND: Previous transcatheter valve therapy registry analyses of transcatheter mitral valve in valve (MViV) replacement of degenerated bioprosthesis reported early experience in the United States. Given recent increases in transseptal MViV volumes and introduction of the SAPIEN 3 Ultra valve, it is important to determine contemporary outcomes for patients undergoing transseptal SAPIEN 3/SAPIEN 3 Ultra MViV replacement. METHODS: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS)/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry was used to extract data for all patients undergoing transseptal SAPIEN 3/SAPIEN 3 Ultra MViV from 2015 to September 2022. Primary efficacy outcome was 1-year all-cause mortality. Secondary end points included 30-day mortality, functional class, quality of life, and mitral valve performance. Primary safety outcomes were device success and in-hospital complications. RESULTS: A total of 4243 patients with a mean±SD STS score of 9.2±7.7 underwent transseptal MViV at 455 sites. The rate of Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium technical (96.6%) success was high, and procedural complications were low. All-cause in-hospital, 30-day, and 1-year mortality rates were 3.2%, 4.3%, and 13.4%, respectively. Significant improvements in New York Heart Association class (New York Heart Association I/II, 18% to 87%) and quality of life (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score, 38 to 78) were noted at 1 year ( P <0.0001 for both) after MViV. Upon stratifying by STS scores, it was observed that the low-risk group (STS<4) had a significantly lower in-hospital mortality rate of 0.4%, whereas the intermediate-risk group (STS, 4–8) had an in-hospital mortality rate of 1.9%. From 2015 to 2022, the number of transseptal MViV cases/year increased significantly, whereas procedure times, length of stay, and intensive care unit hours shortened significantly. At the same time, there was a significant trend toward reduced in-hospital ( P =0.0005), 30-day ( P =0.004), and 1-year mortality rates ( P =0.01). CONCLUSIONS: This multicenter, prospective study reports excellent procedural outcomes, acceptable 1-year mortality rates, and a significant improvement in quality of life for patients undergoing transseptal MViV in the contemporary era. Patients in the low-risk and intermediate-risk STS score categories had significantly better outcomes compared with those in the high-risk category. MViV is a reasonable therapy for the majority of patients with degenerated bioprosthetic mitral valves, who are anatomical candidates.

Blood transfusion is a common therapeutic intervention in hospitalized patients. There are numerous indications for transfusion, including anemia and coagulopathy with deficiency of single or multiple coagulation components such as platelets or coagulation factors. Nevertheless, the practice of transfusion in critically ill patients has been controversial mainly due to a lack of evidence and the need to consider the appropriate clinical context for transfusion. Further, transfusion carries many risk factors that must be balanced with benefits. Therefore, transfusion practice in ICU patients has constantly evolved, and we endeavor to present a contemporary review of transfusion practices in this population guided by clinical trials and expert guidelines.

TPS5630 Background: Platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) portends a poor prognosis and, although treatments are available, response rates are low. Previous studies have demonstrated that DNA topoisomerase I (TOP1) inhibitors exhibit clinical activity in PROC. Irinotecan also has a 15-25% response rate in some studies of platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer but does not have FDA approval for this indication. Additional studies in preclinical models suggest that TOP1 poisons are more active if administered at low doses on prolonged schedules. PLX038 is a long-acting prodrug of the potent TOP1 inhibitor SN-38. In PLX038, SN-38 is covalently conjugated to circulating polyethylene glycol and is slowly released at a constant rate to provide the active agent with a long half-life, a low Cmax and very high exposure – important facets for optimal safety and efficacy of this drug. Further, in preclinical studies the nanoparticle prodrug accumulates and is retained in tumors, where it slowly releases the SN-38. Methods: This single arm, phase 2 clinical trial is open at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. The primary endpoint is overall response rate and secondary endpoints include progression-free survival and assessment of tolerability of PLX038. Correlative goals include i) measurement of TOP1-DNA covalent complexes in tumor biopsies and circulating tumor cells to assess successful target engagement; ii) assessment of homologous recombination status and SLFN11 expression for correlation with tumor response rate; and iii) pharmacokinetics of SN-38 and SN-38G as well as their association with GI toxicity. Assessment of gut microbiota and association with GI toxicity profile are also being investigated. Eligible patients include women with platinum resistant high grade serous ovarian, primary peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancer who have received fewer than two prior chemotherapy regimens in the platinum-resistant setting. All patients must have an ECOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2 and adequate bone marrow, renal, and hepatic function. As of January 31, 2024, 12 of planned 37 patients have enrolled. Clinical trial information: NCT05465941 .

Introduction: Improved treatments for children with congenital heart disease (CHD) have led to a growing interest in long-term functional outcomes such as health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Studies on HRQOL in children with CHD have yielded contradictory results. In this study, we aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the effect of surgery on HRQOL outcomes in children with CHD in low-income and middle-income countries. Methods: A comprehensive search for articles was performed using the Medline (PubMed), Scopus, and Embase databases from their inception to September 5, 2023. Studies reporting QOL outcomes in children <18 years and published in English were included. Results: Of the 1239 records screened, 10 studies, including 1721 participants, were included in the study. The overall QOL was significantly better in the control group than in the children who underwent surgery for CHD (P=0.04, standard mean difference of −0.62, 95% CI: −1.2 to −0.04), and the overall QOL was significantly better in the children with CHD after surgery than before surgery (P=0.05, standard mean difference of −0.56, 95% CI: −1.11 to −0.01). Conclusion: The QOL of children from low-income and middle-income countries who undergo surgery for CHD is significantly poorer than that of controls in all dimensions except the emotional domain. Meanwhile, surgery has the greatest impact on improving the physical domain in children with CHD after surgery. Strategies to improve HRQOL in this subgroup of patients should be further investigated.

e13036 Background: In January 2023, the FDA approved elacestrant for ESR1-mutated, ER+/HER2- MBC based on a companion diagnostic cell free (cf)DNA test (Guardant Health). In this study, we analyze the trends of liquid biopsy utilization at Mayo Clinic (MC) over a 3 year period to understand the impact of this drug approval on testing patterns and identify emergent alterations in patients (pts) with MBC. Methods: We extracted clinically performed Guardant 360 and Guardant 360 CDx ordered at MC sites in Rochester (MN), Florida (FL), Arizona (AZ), and across 9 additional Mayo Clinic Health System (MCHS) sites. Pts with MBC were identified using the EMR and analyzing visit diagnosis codes and staging information. Shifts in testing patterns were analyzed over a 3 year period from January 1, 2021 - December 31, 2023. Data was collected on the number of tests, serial testing, frequency of pathogenic mutations, and emergent mutations in ESR1 and PIK3CA. Chi-square test was used to compare the categorical values. Results: Between 2021-2023, 2,741 pts with MBC were seen across all sites. A total of 408 cfDNA tests were performed in 370 unique patients with MBC. Most pts (90%) had 1 test performed. The proportion of pts with MBC tested was 85/1350 (6.3%) in 2021, 77/1495 (5.2%) in 2022, and 208/1558 (13.4%) in 2023. The increased proportion of pts tested in 2023 was statistically significant compared to prior years (p<0.0001), while no difference was observed between 2021 and 2022 (p 0.19). Testing patterns varied by site, with FL ordering the highest number of tests, followed by MN and AZ. Of the 34 providers practicing during the entire period seeing more than 10 MBC pts, the number of providers ordering Guardant testing increased from 15/34 (2021) and 14/34 (2022) to 20/34 (2023), though not statistically significant (p 0.15). Of the 41% with EMR-documented staging available, testing was highest in the ER+/HER2- (81.3%) subtype, followed by TNBC (13.6%) and then HER2+ (5.2%). The most commonly identified mutations identified in the first testing were PIK3CA (41.1%), TP53 (40.5%), ESR1 (30.5%), and ATM (13.2%). D538G (8.0%), Y537N (4.4%), and Y537S (3.5%) were frequent emergent mutations seen in ESR1. Conclusions: We observed an increase in cfDNA testing at the start of 2023 which aligns with the FDA approval of elacestrant. We observed variation by site and individual providers that warrants further exploration to improve cfDNA testing in MBC pts at Mayo Clinic.

1113 Background: Testing for BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations (BRCAm) aids systemic treatment decisions for patients (pts) with metastatic breast cancer (mBC). This retrospective study explored real-world germline/tumor (g/t) BRCA testing patterns and PARP inhibitor (PARPi) use in US pts with mBC. Methods: Data from pts ≥18 years old diagnosed with HER2-negative mBC from 2014–2022 were captured in the nationwide Flatiron Health electronic health record-derived deidentified database. Patterns and timing of prospective or incidental BRCA testing were compared across mBC subtypes (hormone receptor-positive [HR+ mBC]/triple-negative mBC [mTNBC]) and disease stage (recurrent/ de novo). BRCAm prevalence was compared by testing modality and mBC subtype. PARPi initiation was assessed in pts with mBC diagnosed from 2018 onwards and a positive BRCAm test result. Clinical characteristics were compared by receipt of a BRCA test, testing modality, and PARPi initiation. Real-world overall survival (OS) by PARPi use was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Of 15,006 pts (including 12,349 with HR+ mBC; 1998 with mTNBC), 8178 (54.5%) did not receive any type of BRCA test, 4654 (31.0%) received a gBRCA test, 3075 (20.5%) received a tumor tissue DNA (ttDNA) test, and 1418 (9.4%) received a circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) test. BRCA testing prevalence was numerically higher in pts with mTNBC (n=1164; 58.3%) than in pts with HR+ mBC (n=5323; 43.1%). As expected, testing prevalence was higher with ttDNA than with ctDNA (mTNBC: n=569 [28.5%] vs n=137 [6.9%]; HR+ mBC: n=2339 [18.9%] vs n=1224 [9.9%]). Over 93% of pts (recurrent and de novo) who received a tBRCA test were tested after an mBC diagnosis, and >1/3 were tested after first-line therapy, with median times from diagnosis to a ttDNA and ctDNA test of 127 and 431 days, respectively. Both gBRCA and tBRCA testing rates increased from 2014–2022, and testing occurred earlier in pts with recurrent than de novo disease. Among pts with tBRCAm, 66.0% had HR+ mBC, and 25.6% had mTNBC. BRCA1 mutations were more common in mTNBC (59.0%) than in HR+ mBC (22.9%) tumors. Of 219 pts with tBRCAm tumors who were diagnosed with mBC from 2018 onwards, PARPi was initiated in 39/74 (52.7%) pts with gBRCAm, 15/71 (21.1%) pts who were gBRCAm-negative, and 19/74 (25.7%) pts with gBRCAm status unknown. Among pts with g or tBRCAm and available OS data, median OS was numerically longer in pts who received PARPi (32.3 months [95% CI: 24.2, 47.4], n=128) versus pts who did not (29.0 months [95% CI: 21.9, 31.9], n=204; median follow-up time 23.2 months). Conclusions: While NCCN guidelines recommend gBRCA testing for all pts with mBC, more than half of pts with HER2-negative mBC (56.9% of pts with HR+ mBC) did not receive any BRCA test. Among pts with tBRCAm, ~2/3 had HR+ disease. Despite the potential benefits of PARPi for pts with BRCAm mBC, utilization remained low from 2018–2022.

e23537 Background: Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare, indolent, low-grade sarcoma known for local recurrences managed primarily by surgery. The role for adjuvant therapy has not been established for either radiation or chemotherapy. We aimed to comprehensively analyze clinical and epidemiological profiles and responses to treatment in these patients. Methods: This is a retrospective study using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) database. Cases of FDCS between 2001 to 2022 were identified utilizing the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology edition 3 (ICD-O-3) code 9758/3. Only adults > 18 years of age and diagnosed by positive histology or cytology were included. Descriptive statistics were used to describe demographic and tumor characteristics. Logistic regression was used to identify the factors influencing survival. Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival based on different treatment regimens and stages. Results: A total of 168 patients with FDCS were identified, with more than 50% of the patients ≥ 50 years of age. The mean age at diagnosis was 52.6 years, 56% were female, and 74.4% were white. Most of the patients had localized disease (63.7%), 17.9% had distant disease, and the remaining had unknown stages. About 90% of the patients underwent surgery, with 41% receiving local tumor excision. In Univariate analysis, older age, and distant disease were found to have poor outcomes. Surgery, irrespective of stage, was found to improve overall Survival (Table 1). While chemotherapy and distant disease had poor outcomes in univariate analysis, they were not statistically significant in multivariate analysis. The majority of the patients who received chemotherapy alone without surgical intervention had distant disease, explaining the poor outcome seen in univariate analysis. Among 107 patients with localized disease, 41 patients (41.1%) underwent only surgery and 43 patients (40.1%) received adjuvant therapy (either chemotherapy or radiation vs both) along with surgery. 5-year overall survival was significantly lower in patients who received adjuvant therapy. (88.4% vs 68.4%, p = 0.001). Conclusions: In conclusion, FDCS has a fair overall 5-year survival with surgery alone. Patients with localized disease, who received adjuvant therapies had poor survival outcomes as compared to the surgery-only group owing to disease burden. Large prospective studies are required to properly evaluate the benefit of adding chemotherapy or radiotherapy in resectable disease.

11145 Background: T-DXd is increasingly used in mBC. A T-DXd toxicity of special interest is interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis (ILD), occurring in 10-15% of pts in the DESTINY-Breast trials, and with potential lower incidence/severity in earlier line settings [Krop et al, ASCO 2023]. However, in routine practice, T-DXd may be used in pts with more heavily pre-treated mBC and previously exposed to other antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) [Premji et al SABCS 2023]. We evaluated the incidence/severity of T-DXd related ILD in mBC at Mayo Clinic. Methods: We retrospectively identified pts with mBC who received ≥1 dose of T-DXd at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, between July 2022-December 2023. Demographic, mBC, and pulmonary clinical variables were abstracted from the clinical records. Data was summarized using descriptive statistics. Diagnosis of ILD was determined by treating clinicians, and severity to CTCAE V5 based on clinical documentation. Results: 77 pts with mBC received T-DXd during the study period. All were female, the majority (70, 91%) were Caucasian, and median age was 58. 53 (69%) had HER2-low mBC (37 HR+, 16 HR-) and 24 (31%) had HER2+ mBC (17 HR+, 7 HR-). 31 (40%) were active or former smokers. 11 (14%) had pulmonary comorbidities, including 6 (7.8%) with asthma, 2 (2.6%) with prior pneumonitis, and 3 (3.9%) with other pulmonary comorbidities. They had previously received a median of 1 line of endocrine therapy, and 4 lines of chemotherapy, with 20 (26%) having received another ADC. 17 (22%) developed any grade ILD [G1: 3 (4%), G2: 7 (9%), G3: 2 (3%), G4: 1 (1%), G5: 4 (5%)]. Among pts with ILD of any grade, 13 (76.5%) presented with at least 1 symptom (cough/SOB). The median number of T-DXd cycles prior to onset of any grade ILD was 6 (range 2-13), or 18 (range 6-39) weeks. 5 (29%) pts with any grade ILD received a prior ADC. Of pts with ≥G3 ILD (n=7), all were Caucasian, 2 (30%) were prior smokers, none had prior lung disease, and had received a median of 5 prior lines of chemo, with 4 (57%) having received a prior ADC. All grade ≥2 ILDs were treated with systemic steroids, and 1 also received IVIG. CT chest was used for diagnosis of all ILD. 7 pts (41%) required hospitalization, all of whom had bronchoscopy, with 5 (29%) requiring intubation. All pts with G1 ILD (3, 18%) restarted T-DXd without ILD recurrence. Conclusions: In this case series,22% of ps treated with T-DXd experienced ILD (5% G5), higher than the rate observed in the pivotal DESTINY-Breast trials, possibly due to real-world use of T-DXd in more heavily pre-treated pts and in pts with pulmonary comorbidities.

10511 Background: Germline BRCA2 loss-of function (LOF) variants identified by clinical genetic testing predispose to breast, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic cancer. However, variants of uncertain significance (VUS) (n > 4000) limit the clinical use of testing results. Thus, there is an urgent need for functional characterization and clinical classification of all BRCA2 variants. Here we report on comprehensive saturation genome editing (SGE)-based functional characterization of 97% of all possible single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the BRCA2 DNA Binding Domain hotspot encoded by exons 15 to 26 for pathogenic missense variants. Methods: SGE of exons 15 to 26 of BRCA2(MANE transcript ENST00000380152.8) was performed in the haploid human HAP1 cell line. Each exon along with 10bp flanking intronic sequence was studied as an independent target region. The most efficient sgRNA for each target region was selected and cloned into a Cas9 expressing plasmid. Site-saturation mutagenesis (SSM) libraries for each of the 14 target regions were designed to target every nucleotide and were generated by site directed mutagenesis using NNN-tailed PCR primers. HAP1 cells were transfected and harvested at Day5 and 14. Cell survival in response to each variant was assessed based on deep sequence analysis of the surviving endogenously targeted HAP1 cells at Day 5 and Day 14. Results: A total of 7013 SNVs were characterized as functionally abnormal (n = 955), intermediate/uncertain, or functionally normal (n = 5224) based on 95% precision for ClinVar known pathogenic and benign standards. Results were validated relative to batches of nonsense and synonymous variants and variants evaluated using a homology directed repair (HDR) functional assay. Breast cancer case-control association studies showed that pooled SNVs encoding functionally abnormal missense variants were associated with increased risk of breast cancer (odds ratio (OR) 3.89, 95%CI: 2.77-5.51). The functional data were added to other sources of information in a ClinGen/ACMG/AMP-like model and 700 functionally abnormal SNVs, including 220 missense SNVs, were classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic, while 4862 functionally normal SNVs, including 3084 missense SNVs, were classified as benign or likely benign. Conclusions: The production of functional maps for 97% of all SNVs in the BRCA2 DBD allowed for separation of nucleotide/protein-level functional aberrations. When coupled with genetic and clinical sources of evidence this study led to clinical classification of 5500 individual variants. These data will prove useful in the future, through integration with other datasets, for characterization and clinical classification of all variants in this region in individuals from all racial and ethnic backgrounds and for all BRCA2 associated forms of cancer.
