e18026 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is part of standard of care first-line therapy for recurrent or metastatic (R/M) HNSCC. However, less than 20% of patients (CPS ≥1) have an objective response to ICI monotherapy, and most tumors progress within ~3 months. We sought to improve the proportion of patients who benefit from a chemotherapy-free regimen by combining intratumoral (IT) VV1 oncolytic virus (VSV-IFNβ-NIS) injections with the anti-PD-1 antibody, cemiplimab. We report a pre-planned analysis of Simon's stage 1 results. Methods: We activated a phase 2 study testing the efficacy of first line IT VV1 plus cemiplimab in 1 st line patients with R/M HNSCC. A Simon's two-stage design was employed whereby 10 patients would be accrued in stage 1, and if 3 or more responses were observed, 12 additional patients would be accrued for stage 2. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per investigator (RECIST 1.1). Eligible patients had untreated R/M HNSCC from primary oropharynx, oral cavity, hypopharynx, or larynx sites with CPS ≥1. Patients had to have at least one measurable lesion amenable to IT injection. Treatment comprised of IT injections to 1-5 lesions of oncolytic VV-1 virus and IV cemiplimab 350 mg on day 1, repeated every 21 days. Each lesion could be injected 3 times; a 4th injection was allowed if a partial response (PR) was achieved after 3 injections. Cemiplimab could be continued for up to 2 years until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: Patient and tumor characteristics, as well as efficacy and toxicity are summarized in the table below. Ten patients were treated at the time of Stage 1 analysis, with 3 showing a confirmed PR for ORR of 30%. Responder CPS scores were 45, 12 and 20%. Two of the responders subsequently showed progression after 6.2 and 9.9 months, the third has maintained PR at 7.7 months to date. Eight of 10 patients showed decrease in the sum of target lesion size (mean decrease of 16%; range -57 to 77%). One grade 2 event of ICI nephritis resolved with corticosteroid treatment. Conclusions: Three patients showed confirmed PR by RECIST 1.1 in Simon's stage 1, meeting criteria to proceed to Simon's stage 2. A total of 22 patients in the HNSCC will be enrolled. VV1 plus cemiplimab shows promise in first line R/M HNSCC based on these initial results. Clinical trial information: NCT04291105 . Patient demographics.

6123 Background: Pemetrexed (PTX) is safe and tolerable with responses reported in pts with R/M SGC. Given enhanced responses with PTX and pembrolizumab (PMB) for lung cancer, we hypothesized that PTX and PMB will have activity for SGC. Herein we present the efficacy results in pts with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). Methods: MC200708 is a single arm phase II study of PTX and PMB in pts with R/M SGC (NCT04895735) with 2 cohorts: ACC (cohort A) and non-ACC (cohort B). Key eligibility criteria: ≥18 years, ECOG 0-1, measurable disease. Prior ICI and/or PTX was allowed. Key exclusion criteria: serious comorbidities, autoimmune disease and brain metastases. Simon’s 2-stage design was used for each cohort. Primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) for Cohort A but was amended to clinical benefit rate (CBR=SD+PR+CR) due to prolonged SD in several pts. Secondary endpoints: progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicity. Exploratory analyses in Cohort A1 (post-amendment pts) included PSMA PET imaging and circulating PSMA extravesicles (EVs) as a biomarker. All pts received PTX 500 mg/m2 IV + PMB 200 mg IV q3 weeks until progression or treatment intolerance. Imaging was q3 cycles. Results: 20 pts (11 Cohort A + 9 Cohort A1) were enrolled from August 2021-Feb 2025. All 20 patients were eligible and received ≥ 1 cycle of treatment. Median age was 60.5 yrs, 50% male, performance status 0 (80%) or 1 (20%). 11 pts had no prior therapies (55.0%). The remaining pts had 1 (35%) or 2 (10%) prior lines of therapy. 75% of pts had no prior ICI. In Cohort A, the ORR was 0% (0 of 11). Cohort A1 met criteria for success based on CBR with 1 PR (12.5%) and 5 SD (62.5%) in the first 8 pts. For the whole cohort of 20 patients, the ORR was 5% (95% CI: 0.1-24.9) and the CBR rate was 75% (95% CI: 51-91) with 1 PR and 14 pts with SD. The duration of response for the 1 PR patient was 12.4 months. The median duration of response for the 15 pts with SD was 7.5 (2.0-29.7) months. 3 pts (15%) had PD and 2 pts (10%) went off prior to response assessment. Median cycles of treatment was 4 (2-30). In the 17 pts who discontinued, treatment was stopped in 9 (53%) for PD, 4 (23.5%) due to adverse events (AE), and 4 (23.5%) due to physician/patient preference. With a median follow-up of 14.5 months (1.5-39.2), the 1-year PFS rate is 52.1% (32.6 – 83.2%) and the OS rate is 82.1% (95% CI: 65.6 – 100%). The overall grade 3+ AE rate regardless of attribution was 80% (16/20). The most common grade 3 AEs were lymphocyte count decrease (40%), hypertension (20%), fatigue (10%), and pneumonitis (10%). 2 pts had a grade 4 AE (lymphocyte count decrease and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura). There were no treatment-related deaths. Analysis of correlative studies for Cohort A1 with PSMA imaging and EV biomarker ongoing. Conclusions: PTX and PMB has modest activity in pts with R/M ACC with CBR of 75% and prolonged benefit for some patients. Clinical trial information: NCT04895735 .

Aging is associated with increased aortic stiffness and exaggerated stress-induced blood pressure (BP) responsiveness, both of which contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease. Supplementation with inorganic nitrate increases nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and is a promising potential treatment to improve vascular function. While the acute effects of dietary inorganic nitrate supplementation on various measures of vascular function and BP have been demonstrated in several studies, the effects of increasing NO bioavailability through prolonged use (i.e. weeks) is unclear. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that 4-weeks of inorganic nitrate supplementation will effectively increase NO bioavailability (as measured by plasma nitrate and nitrite) and reduce central BP, aortic stiffness, and BP responsiveness to a cold pressor test (CPT) in older adults. Thirteen older adults (67±3 years; 7 males and 6 females) completed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial consisting of two 4-week supplementation periods (nitrate vs. placebo) separated by a 4-week washout. Central BP and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) were measured via applanation tonometry. Peripheral BP responses were assessed using beat-by-beat BP at baseline and during CPT. Plasma [nitrate] (40±24 to 76±46 µM, P< 0.01) and [nitrite] (289±94 to 413± 28 nM, P< 0.01) increased following inorganic nitrate supplementation, but remained unchanged after placebo ([nitrate] 39±20 to 39±16 µM, P=0.97; [nitrite] 303±108 to 302±87 nM, P=0.95). Four weeks of inorganic nitrate supplementation reduced resting measures of central systolic BP (cSBP; 116±12 to 113±10 mmHg, P< 0.05) and diastolic BP (cDBP; 79±8 to 74±6 mmHg, P< 0.05), as well as cfPWV (10.2±1.3 to 9.4±1.0 m/sec, P< 0.01), whereas no changes were observed following placebo (cSBP 112±10 to 115±10 mmHg; cDBP 75±7 to 78±7 mmHg; cfPWV 10.0±1.1 to 9.8±1.0 m/sec, P >0.05 for all). Additionally, the peak change (Δ from baseline) in peripheral SBP (28±10 to 23±6 mmHg, P< 0.05) and mean arterial pressure (MAP; 17±6 to 14±3 mmHg, P< 0.05) during the CPT were reduced following nitrate with no changes observed after placebo (SBP 25±8 to 26±12 mmHg, P=0.51; MAP 14±4 to 16±8 mmHg, P=0.19). Our findings demonstrate 4-weeks of inorganic dietary nitrate supplementation has favorable effects on central BP, aortic stiffness and BP responsiveness in older adults.

Importance Hospital-based shootings represent an extreme form of workplace violence, with notable consequences for staff, patients, and visitors. Despite growing concern, these events remain poorly understood. Objective To categorize hospital-based shootings from 2012 to 2024 and incorporate prior published events between 2000 and 2011 to examine trends in shootings over a 25-year span. Evidence Review Events in this systematic review of acute care hospital–based shootings in the US from January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2024, with subgroup analysis of previously published data trending shootings over 25 years (January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2024), were identified using EBSCO Regional Business News, ProQuest US Newsstream Collection, Gun Violence Archive, and Google News Search. Selected shooting events involved at least 1 injured person (a nonperpetrator or perpetrator) that occurred within or on the immediate property of the hospital. Findings A total of 327 news articles of unique hospital-based shooting events (5.2 per year per 1000 hospitals) were included from a review of 6658 articles, spanning 47 US states (94.0%). There was an overall incidence of 25.2 hospital-based shootings per year. Between 2012 and 2024, shootings increased by a mean (SD) of 1.7 (0.5) events per year, from 14 to 34 events (8.4% increase per year). Large hospitals accounted for the highest rate of shootings (258.1 events per 1000 hospitals). Events primarily occurred in urban settings (314 [96.0%]), and 161 (49.2%) occurred in the US South. Nearly one-third (105 [32.1%]) were potentially preventable by weapons screening. From 2000 to 2024, shootings increased by a mean (SD) of 1.1 (0.2) events per year, from 6 to 34 events (6.4% increase per year). A positive correlation was found in annual firearm fatalities in hospital settings and US firearms fatalities overall between 2012 and 2023 ( r = 0.42). Conclusions and Relevance This systematic review found that hospital-based shootings in the US have increased steadily over the past 25 years, representing an intersection between broader national trends in workplace and firearm violence. Large hospitals, those in the US South, and hospitals in urban communities are particularly at-risk settings. These findings underscore the need for hospital-specific prevention strategies, including consideration of weapons screening technology, alongside broader societal efforts to address rising firearm violence.

Abstract Background: Despite efficacy in metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), immunotherapy currently has no role in the neoadjuvant setting. Suppressive tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are known to mediate resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in ccRCC. In preclinical studies, IL-1β blockade reprograms TAMs toward an anti-tumor phenotype and promotes T cell activation, creating a tumor microenvironment (TME) more sensitive to ICB. To test this in patients, we conducted a correlative-rich neoadjuvant trial of IL-1β + PD-1 inhibition in localized ccRCC. Methods: SPARC-1 is a single-center, phase 1b study assessing the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant canakinumab (αIL-1β) and spartalizumab (αPD-1) in patients with localized ccRCC (T1b-T4NanyM0 or TanyN1M0). All patients received 2 doses of canakinumab (300mg IV, Q4w) and spartalizumab (400mg IV, Q4w), 6 weeks (±7 days) prior to nephrectomy. The primary endpoint was safety and feasibility. Key secondary and exploratory endpoints included 12-month metastasis-free survival rate, pathologic response rate, and quantification of immune cell infiltration. To characterize immunologic reprogramming, fresh tumor specimens were collected at nephrectomy for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) and multiparametric flow cytometry. Tissue from a treatment naïve cohort was collected for comparative analysis (n=16). Results: From August 15th, 2018, to January 30th, 2025, 14 patients were enrolled. There were no severe treatment-related adverse events (Grade ≥ 3) attributed to canakinumab or spartalizumab. At a median follow-up of 12.0 months (range, 6.3-12.0 months), the 12-month metastasis-free survival was 100%. Based on the ASSURE nomogram, the mean predicted 12-month recurrence risk was 16.7% (range, 4.7-46.5%). ScRNAseq revealed that treatment with αIL-1β + αPD-1 increased the frequency of TREM2+APOE+ TAMs (p=0.035), a population typically associated with immune suppression. However, these TAMs exhibited a phenotypic shift toward a less immunosuppressive state, with reduced IL-1β expression and increased CXCL9:SPP1 ratio, consistent with anti-tumor TAM polarization. Immune profiling revealed an increased CD8/CD4 T cell ratio (p=0.042) with modest enrichment of activated CD8+ T cells after treatment, supporting a more pro-inflammatory TME. Conclusions: The neoadjuvant combination of canakinumab (αIL-1β) and spartalizumab (αPD-1) is well-tolerated, feasible, and demonstrated promising clinical activity with no progression of disease observed in a localized ccRCC population at high risk of recurrence. Correlative analyses demonstrated that combined IL-1β and PD-1 blockade reprograms immunosuppressive TAMs, providing evidence that dual IL-1β and PD-1 inhibition can overcome myeloid-driven resistance in ccRCC.

Objective Immunohistochemically (IHC) measured transactive response DNA‐binding protein 43 (TDP‐43) inclusions are observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and are associated with medial temporal lobe atrophy. Accumulation of cryptic exons occurs in AD in response to TDP‐43 pathology. We aimed to assess relationships between IHC and biochemically measured insoluble TDP‐43 and cryptic exons and assess associations with hippocampal and amygdala volume loss and atrophy rates on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods Eighty‐one neuropathologically diagnosed AD cases were analyzed. For biochemistry, insoluble TDP‐43 was quantified using a Meso‐scale discovery (MSD) immunoassay. IHC‐TDP burden was quantified with digital histopathology. Cryptic RNAs were assessed via quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR). Thirty‐eight cases had serial brain MRI. Hippocampal and amygdala volumes were calculated using FreeSurfer. Regression models were used to investigate associations among IHC‐TDP‐43 status/burden, MSD‐TDP status/levels, cryptic RNAs, and hippocampal and amygdala volumes and atrophy rates. Results IHC‐TDP(+) cases exhibited elevated levels of MSD‐TDP and cryptic RNAs ( KCNQ2 , STMN2 , and UNC13A ) and increased MSD‐TDP levels were associated with increased cryptic RNA levels, in the hippocampus and amygdala. IHC‐TDP(+) cases had smaller hippocampal and amygdala volumes compared to IHC‐TDP(−) cases. MSD‐TDP(+) cases had smaller hippocampal volumes and faster amygdala rates of atrophy compared with MSD‐TDP(−) cases. Higher KCNQ2 and UNC13A levels were associated with smaller amygdala volumes. Interpretation MSD‐TDP level is a reliable surrogate for IHC‐based TDP‐43 status. Both TDP‐43 and cryptic RNA levels are associated with reduced medial temporal volumes, suggesting cryptic exons may be playing a role in brain volume loss in AD. ANN NEUROL 2026;100:193–205

Management of locoregionally advanced human papillomavirus-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV(+) OPSCC) can include induction chemotherapy followed by definitive chemoradiation. The standard induction regimen of cisplatin, docetaxel, and 5-fluorouracil (TPF) is associated with high toxicity. Given the chemosensitivity of HPV(+) OPSCC, platinum doublets are frequently used as induction therapy with potentially less toxicity. This retrospective study aimed to compare outcomes between treatment-naive HPV(+) OPSCC patients receiving induction TPF and those receiving an induction platinum doublet. Data collected included tumor characteristics, response after chemoradiation, hospitalization rates, and overall survival (OS). Fifty-five patients (18 TPF and 37 platinum doublet) were included. There was no significant difference in response after completion of definitive chemoradiation (TPF: CR 83.3%, PR 5.6%, progression or metastasis 11.1% vs. platinum doublet: CR 75.7%, PR 16.2%, progression or metastasis 8.1%; p = 0.5241). There were also no differences in hospitalizations for adverse events (38.9% in TPF vs. 40.5% in platinum doublet, p = 0.907) or recurrence (11.1% in TPF vs. 2.7% in platinum doublet, p = 0.198). The 5-year OS was 84.6% in the TPF group and 81.5% in the platinum doublet group (p = 0.581). Induction platinum doublet regimens offer comparable OS, response, and hospitalization rates to TPF in locally advanced HPV(+) OPSCC. Induction with a platinum doublet may be a viable de-escalation strategy for patients who are not candidates for TPF.

Background Psychiatric disorders are increasingly contributing to global disability. Despite advances in conservative management, the prevalence of treatment-resistant cases remains high. Meanwhile, neurosurgery for psychiatric disorders (NPD) remains underused, largely due to strict regulations and historical concerns, particularly those related to neuropsychological side effects (NPSE). Objective To address this issue, we conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis to compare NPSE associated with radiofrequency ablative NPD to those observed in neuro-oncological, neurovascular and epilepsy surgeries. Methods PubMed, Embase and LILACS databases were searched in April 2024 for articles published in English/Spanish from 1990 to 2022, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. Results A total of 48 articles with 2678 participants were included. The frequency of transient and permanent NPSE in the NPD group ranged from 0.94% to 11.50% and 0.94% to 2.03%, respectively, comparable to the other surgical groups (epilepsy: 0.31–11.70%; vascular: 0.52–22.90%; oncology: 0.94–17.60% for transient NPSE; epilepsy: 0.31–12%; vascular: 0.40–1.96% and oncology: 0.84–1.48% for permanent NPSE). Regarding permanent NPSE, arguably the most critical consideration, the NPD group showed better outcomes in memory, language and social cognition than the epilepsy group, but worse outcomes in executive and perceptual-motor functions. Compared with the vascular group, the NPD group had better executive function but worse complex attention. Finally, the NPD group had fewer permanent deficits than the oncology group in executive function, complex attention and perceptual-motor domains, although language performance was lower. Conclusions Contemporary NPD apparently carries a similar risk of NPSE as other conventional neurosurgical procedures, challenging misconceptions and this unjustified barrier to its broader use.

Abstract Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and glioblastoma (GBM) are treatment-refractory tumors marked by high TGF-β1, a master suppressor of antitumor immunity and antigen presentation. Pharmacologic methylseleninic acid (MSA) potently inhibits TGF-β1, PD-L1, and VEGF without significant off-target toxicity. FN14, the TWEAK receptor and a metastasis driver, is selectively overexpressed in these malignancies, making it a high-specificity CAR-T target. Methods: We developed second-generation anti-FN14 CARs with CD28 or 4-1BB costimulation and CD3ζ signaling and lentivirally transduced them into human CD4+/CD8+ T cells. Cytotoxicity against FN14+ ccRCC, mCRPC, GBM lines and patient-derived tumors was measured using LDH release and xCELLigence assays. Effector function was assessed by intracellular cytokines, phenotyping, and multiplex analysis. MSA was tested at physiologic concentrations to evaluate effects on CAR-T viability, metabolism, function, and tumor susceptibility. Results: Anti-FN14 CAR-T cells mediated rapid, antigen-specific lysis across all tumor types, achieving &gt;50% specific lysis at an E:T ratio of 1:1. MSA (2.5-5 µM) reduced tumor PD-L1 and TGF-β by &gt;40% and improved CAR-T metabolic activity, enhancing IL-2 and IFN-γ secretion. Manufacturing CAR-T cells with MSA (2.5 µM) increased cytotoxicity and persistence versus controls (p &lt; 0.01). MSA’s effects were dose- and schedule-dependent at clinically compatible concentrations without detectable off-target toxicity. Conclusion: MSA augments anti-FN14 CAR-T cytotoxicity, metabolic fitness, and sustained effector function by suppressing tumor-derived TGF-β1 and PD-L1 and directly enhancing CAR-T activity. As a clinically relevant TGF-β1 inhibitor and active seleno-L-methionine metabolite, MSA represents a readily translatable strategy to reduce CAR-T exhaustion and improve efficacy in TGF-β-rich solid tumors.

Abstract Prostate cancer requires continual escape from immune surveillance, but mechanisms underlying this escape in the transition from androgen sensitivity to resistance and metastasis remain incompletely understood. Androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT)—the treatment backbone—induces tumor cell apoptosis but also remodels the tumor microenvironment (TME). We have assembled a single-cell RNA-seq atlas from &gt;800,000 cells across 68 patients treated at Columbia University and Memorial Sloan Kettering. The resource includes 33 primary tumors (16 treatment-naïve, 17 post-ADT) annotated with time to PSA recurrence, and 31 metastases, including longitudinal pre- and post-ADT data in 14 castration-sensitive tumors (CSPC), 17 castration-resistant tumors (CRPC), and 4 neuroendocrine tumors (NEPC). This dataset spans the spectrum of prostate cancer disease progression.Using ARACNe and VIPER to infer activity of transcriptional regulatory and signaling proteins, we detect conserved cell state programs while minimizing batch effects. Several significant features emerged. Immune infiltration—both lymphoid and myeloid—is significantly higher in CSPC metastases than in primary or CRPC tumors and increases further after ADT. T cells constitute ∼15% of cells in primary tumors versus 30% in treatment-naive CSPC (40% post-ADT), falling to 13% in CRPC and &lt;1% in NEPC (p&lt;1e-32), consistent with an initially "hot" CSPC TME that progressively excludes T cells with disease progression.Among ∼350,000 epithelial/tumor cells, trajectory analysis reveals two differentiation pathways from normal epithelium. Pathway 1—dominant in primary tumors—shows androgen receptor (AR) activity with three sub-phenotypes (T1-T3): T1 exclusive to primary tumors; T2 shared by primary and CSPC; and T3 restricted to CRPC, with high ERG expression, and very strong AR activity. Pathway 2 (clusters T4-T6), present in NEPC and a subset of CRPC, lacks AR activity and displays SOX2, FOXA2, PRKD1. These aggressive states uniformly overexpress AURKA, RET, and TOP2A, suggesting druggable targets for combination therapy.We further define five cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) subtypes. CAF1-3 track with advanced, treatment-resistant disease—enriched in NEPC versus CRPC (25% vs 18% of CAFs) and in CRPC versus CSPC (18% vs 11%)—while CAF4-5 predominate in primary tumors. We identify druggable proteins and receptor-ligand interactions linking CAF1-3 with T4-T6 tumor states; in vivo perturbations are underway.This atlas provides a resource profiling tumor and immune ecosystems across prostate cancer progression. It highlights MR programs and stromal-tumor-immune interactions that underlie immune evasion and ADT resistance, yielding actionable targets and combination-therapy hypotheses for aggressive disease.
