Introduction: Patients with atherosclerotic carotid artery disease are at high risk of mortality in the long-term follow-up after carotid endarterectomy (CEA), partly due to dysrhythmia. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac dysrhythmia linked to stroke and cardiovascular events. An artificial intelligence-based electrocardiogram (ECG) AF algorithm (AI-AF) can effectively identify silent AF. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of AI-AF in predicting mortality in patients with carotid artery disease undergoing CEA. Methods: Patients with carotid artery disease undergoing CEA at Mayo Clinic from 2002-2023 were included if they had >30 days follow-up and an ECG within one year before CEA. The ECG closest to the CEA date was used to calculate AI-AF (probability of AF ranging from 0 to 1). All-cause mortality rates after CEA were obtained from clinical records. The optimal AI-AF cut-off value for predicting mortality was calculated using a receiver operating characteristic curve and the Youden index. Long-term survival after CEA was depicted with a Kaplan Meier plot and compared with the Log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate Cox Regression models were used to assess the predictive value of AI-AF for mortality, adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Results: A total of 636 patients with a median age of 72 [IQR: 66, 78] years and 414 (65.1%) males were included. The median AI-AF was 0.056 [IQR: <0, 0.171]. Over a median follow-up time of 7.1 [IQR: 2.7, 11.5] years, mortality occurred in 326 (51.3%) patients. AI-AF significantly predicted mortality in univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis (HR: 3.47, 95%CI: 2.34-5.16, P<0.001; HR: 2.30, 95%CI: 1.44-3.68, P<0.001, respectively). The best cut-off value for AI-AF for mortality prediction was 0.025 (area under the curve: 0.608). High and low AI-AF were defined as AI-AF≥ 0.025 and <0.025, respectively. Mortality was significantly higher in high AI-AF compared to low AI-AF patients (P<0.001, Figure 1A,1B), and high AI-AF was a significant predictor of mortality (univariate: Figure 2; multivariate Cox regression: HR: 2.11, 95%CI: 1.56-2.84, P<0.001). Conclusion: AI-AF can identify patients with a higher risk of mortality after CEA. This finding supports a role for AI algorithms in risk stratification of patients with carotid artery disease following CEA. Future studies are needed to elucidate the contribution of AF to all-cause mortality.

Background: The bovine aortic arch is a vascular variant in which the left common carotid artery originates from the brachiocephalic trunk rather than directly from the aortic arch. The bovine anatomical variation may alter the blood flow dynamics, potentially contributing to the formation and progression of carotid plaques. In this study, we evaluated the association of the bovine aortic arch and the severity of carotid stenosis. Methods: In this retrospective study, we included patients with carotid artery disease undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and pre-surgical computed tomography angiography (CTA). CTAs were reviewed to assess the carotid stenosis and the anatomy of the aortic arch. The left carotid artery was classified as normal if it originated from the aortic arch and as bovine if it originated from the brachiocephalic trunk (Figure 1) . Unlimited propensity score matching was performed to balance baseline characteristics between patients with bovine and normal anatomies. The Mann-Whitney U test was applied to compare carotid stenosis between bovine and normal arteries. Results: A total of 203 patients (bovine:23, normal:180) were initially enrolled. Using propensity score matching, 20 patients with bovine anatomy were matched to 45 patients with normal anatomy (Figure 2) . Among the 65 patients included, 47 (74.6%) were male, with a median age of 70 [IQR:65.0-76.0] years. Left-sided carotid artery disease was more prevalent in the bovine compared to normal group (N=12, 66.7% vs. N=16, 36.4%; p=0.030). Additionally, the severity of carotid stenosis in CEA-treated side was higher in patients with bovine arch compared to normal controls (82.5% [76.2-88.7] vs. 70.0% [50.0-95.0]; p=0.030) (Figure 3) . Conclusions: The association of a bovine aortic arch with more severe carotid stenosis suggests that this anatomical variant may be a marker for increased cerebrovascular risk.

Abstract Background Drug-resistant E. coli is a leading cause of antimicrobial resistance-associated deaths globally. Specifically, resistance to ceftriaxone (CRO-R) is increasing in E. coli. High-risk clonal group ST131 and its pandemic H30 subclone are of high concern yet studies characterizing these infections are limited. We evaluated baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes associated with H30 ST131, non-H30 ST131 and non-ST131 E. coli bloodstream infections (BSI). Methods Patients with monomicrobial carbapenem-susceptible E. coli BSI that were matched 1:1 by study site (CRO-R and CRO-susceptible community-acquired and hospital onset cases) were prospectively enrolled from 14 United States hospitals between November 12, 2020 to April 28, 2021 in the multicenter Study of Highly Resistant E. coli (SHREC). Isolates underwent whole genome sequencing. The primary outcome was a 30-day Desirability of Outcome Ranking (DOOR) after index culture including clinical response to treatment and all-cause mortality. Results There were 92 (33%) H30 ST131, 29 (10%) non-H30 ST131, and 161 (57%) non-ST131 isolates in 282 E. coli BSI (Table 1). Most ceftriaxone resistance was conferred by CTX-M-15 produced by H30 ST131 isolates (Figure 1, Table 1). H30 ST131 BSI patients were older (median age [IQR] 70.5 [63,76] vs. 67 [56,77] vs 65 [51,74] years, p = 0.017), had higher Charlson comorbidity indices (3 [2,5] vs. 2 [1,4] vs. 2 [1,4], p=0.009), and were more often admitted from long-term care facilities (18/92 [20%] vs. 3/29 [10%] vs. 7/161 [4%], p = 0.003) compared to non-H30 ST131 and non-ST131 BSI patients. Among H30 ST131 isolates, high rates of antibiotic resistance were observed to cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones, resulting in significantly more carbapenem use compared with non-H30 ST131 and non-ST131 isolates (75/92 [82%] vs. 14/29 [48%] vs. 50/161 [31%], p &lt; 0.001) (Figure 2). 30-day DOOR and hospital length of stay did not differ between groups (Table 2). Conclusion Compared with non-H30 ST131 and non-ST131 E. coli BSI, H30 ST131 E. coli BSI have a unique epidemiology with more healthcare exposures, comorbidities and antibiotic resistance and are more likely to be treated with carbapenems, though no significant difference in clinical outcomes was observed.

Abstract Background Moderate-severe mitral annulus calcification (MAC) and left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction are both linked to increased risks of heart failure and mortality. Assessing LV diastolic function (LVDF) in moderate-severe-MAC by echocardiography is frequently challenging and unreliable. We recently validated an AI-ECG model for LVDF. We aimed to determine if this tool can predict long-term mortality in patients with moderate-severe-MAC and whether it can help establish MAC-specific echocardiographic LVDF parameter cutoffs. Methods This retrospective study included all patients from the AI-ECG LVDF study test cohort who underwent comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography confirming moderate-severe-MAC and ECG within fourteen days of each other at Mayo Clinic between 09/2001 and 06/2022. AI-ECG LVDF was determined based on the index ECG. Patients were categorized based on AI-ECG into groups representing normal/grade-1 LVDF, grade-2 LVDF, or grade-3 LVDG (DF-1, DF-2, and DF-3, respectively). Results Of 2,506 patients with moderate-severe-MAC [mean age 77, 64.1% females], 709 (28.3%), 1,510 (60.3%), and 287 (11.5%) were classified as DF-1, DF-2, and DF-3, respectively. Worse LVDF grade was associated with older age, male sex, lower LV ejection fraction, and higher rates of noncardiovascular and cardiovascular comorbidities. Over a median follow-up of 2.8 years, 1,059 (42.3%) patients died. In multivariable survival analysis, DF-2 [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.43, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) 1.21-1.68] and DF-3 (aHR 1.54, 95%CI 1.22-1.93) were independently associated with a higher risk of death (figure). Findings were also consistent after adjusting to mitral inflow gradients. When comparing LVDF echocardiographic parameters in controls without MAC matched by age, sex, left ventricular ejection fraction, and AI-ECG DF grade, significant differences were observed. Patients with moderate to severe MAC generally exhibited lower e' velocities, higher TR velocities, elevated E/e' ratios, and increased LAVi. Interestingly, the E/A ratio between MAC patients and their matched controls across AI-ECG LVDF grades remained consistent. Conclusion AI-ECG LVDF predicts mortality risk in patients with moderate-severe-MAC, regardless of mitral inflow gradients. Utilizing AI-ECG LVDF might aid in the risk stratification of patients with significant MAC.

Abstract Background Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) improves quality of life and lowers cardiovascular adverse events. However, AF recurrence rates remain high - thus the need for better or improved predictors of AF recurrence. The role of left atrial (LA) stiffness remains unclear, as prior findings were controversial. Purpose To explore the relationship between a noninvasive LA stiffness index (LAstiffn) and AF recurrence after catheter ablation. Methods We analyzed a prospectively recruited cohort of patients who underwent catheter ablation for AF, were in sinus rhythm at 3 months post-ablation, had no significant (&lt; moderate) valvular disease, and had LA volumes and LA diastolic function prospectively measured. LAStiffn was calculated as (E/e’)/LA emptying fraction (LAEF) ratio (abnormal defined as &gt;15/45≈0.3). Outcome endpoint was the first documented AF/atrial flutter episode, lasting &gt;30s, beyond 3 months post ablation (end of blanking period). Results A total of 589 patients were studied (mean age 60±10 years; 75% men; 50% with persistent AF; Table 1). At 3 months post-ablation, mean LAVI(Left atrial volume index) was 36±10 mL/m2 and LAstiffn 0.32±0.22. LAstiffn tended to be higher in older patients, in females, and patients with persistent AF and comorbidities (hypertension, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2, etc). At multivariable regression analysis, LAstiffn correlated with LV size and mass, degree of mitral/tricuspid regurgitation, and right ventricular systolic pressure. At 1 year, 3 years, and 8 years follow up, AF recurred in 118, 191, and 347 patients, respectively. At univariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, LAstiffn index &gt;0.3 was significantly associated with AF recurrence at 1 year (log-rank P=.0005), 3 years (P=.0002), and 8 years follow up (P&lt;.0001; Figure). In multivariate analysis including all clinical and laboratory factors with P&lt;.10 in univariate analysis, LAstiffn &gt;0.3 remained an independent factor for AF recurrence only at 3-years (adjusted HR 1.40 [1.03-1.91], P=.03) and 8 years follow up (adjusted HR 1.65 [1.29-2.13], P&lt;.0001) after adjustment for age, sex, type of AF (persistent/paroxysmal), LA volume index (LAVi), obstructive sleep apnea, and prior pacemaker/ICD implantation (best independent factors); P=.14 at 1 year follow up. In ROC analysis, LAstiffn (AUC 0.61, P=.001) performed slightly better than LA deformation LAEF (AUC 0.59, P=.002) or E/e’ (AUC 0.58, P=.03), though with modest sensitivity/specificity (58%/62%). Conclusions LAstiffn may reflect LA myopathy that is likely due to the cumulative effects of comorbidities, diastolic dysfunction, and intrinsic LA tissue remodeling. LA stiffening may be a substrate facilitating redevelopment of AF, thus patients with increased LAstiffn may need more frequent monitoring to prevent/treat AF recurrence earlier.

Mutations in Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) and PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) are associated with familial Parkinson’s disease (PD). LRRK2 phosphorylates Rab guanosine triphosphatase (GTPases) within the Switch II domain while PINK1 directly phosphorylates Parkin and ubiquitin (Ub) and indirectly induces phosphorylation of a subset of Rab GTPases. Herein we have crossed LRRK2 [R1441C] mutant knock-in mice with PINK1 knock-out (KO) mice and report that loss of PINK1 does not impact endogenous LRRK2-mediated Rab phosphorylation nor do we see significant effect of mutant LRRK2 on PINK1-mediated Rab and Ub phosphorylation. In addition, we observe that a pool of the Rab-specific, protein phosphatase family member 1H phosphatase, is transcriptionally up-regulated and recruited to damaged mitochondria, independent of PINK1 or LRRK2 activity. Parallel signaling of LRRK2 and PINK1 pathways is supported by assessment of motor behavioral studies that show no evidence of genetic interaction in crossed mouse lines. Previously we showed loss of cilia in LRRK2 R1441C mice and herein we show that PINK1 KO mice exhibit a ciliogenesis defect in striatal cholinergic interneurons and astrocytes that interferes with Hedgehog induction of glial derived-neurotrophic factor transcription. This is not exacerbated in double-mutant LRRK2 and PINK1 mice. Overall, our analysis indicates that LRRK2 activation and/or loss of PINK1 function along parallel pathways to impair ciliogenesis, suggesting a convergent mechanism toward PD. Our data suggest that reversal of defects downstream of ciliogenesis offers a common therapeutic strategy for LRRK2 or PINK1 PD patients, whereas LRRK2 inhibitors that are currently in clinical trials are unlikely to benefit PINK1 PD patients.

668 Background: After the approval of 177Lu DOTATATE, a new generation of radiopharmaceutical therapies (RPT) utilizing alpha-emitting radiometals is being developed as front-line therapies for advanced NETs with the hope of higher clinical efficacy. In this Phase I study, [ 212 Pb]VMT-α-NET, a novel targeted alpha radionuclide therapy (TAT) to SSTR2, is being evaluated in SSTR2-expressing NETs tumors in patients with no prior PRRT treatment. Here we present interim safety and the first efficacy results from dose escalation cohorts 1 and 2. Methods: In this first-in-human dose-escalation study, safety, PK, and efficacy of [ 212 Pb]VMT-α-NET were investigated in a population of well-differentiated adult NETs of any grade which progressed after prior standard of care therapy as assessed by RECIST v1.1 (NCT05636618). No patient may have received prior 177 Lu-DOTATATE or PRRT. The dose escalation design includes four cohorts, 3 mCi, 5 mCi, 7.5 mCi and 10 mCi based on a Bayesian modified toxicity probability interval (mTPI-2) design. Subjects in cohorts 1 and 2 underwent dosimetry evaluations using the therapeutic surrogate [ 203 Pb]VMT-a-NET. Therapeutic [ 212 Pb]VMT-a-NET was administered for 4 cycles Q8W in combination with reno-protective amino acids. The DLT assessment period is defined as the first 6 weeks of cycle 1. The primary objectives include the evaluation of safety and tolerability, the PK and RP2D of [ 212 Pb]VMT-a-NET as well as ORR as assessed by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Results: The current data cut occurred on September 19 th , 2024. A total of 9 patients were enrolled (2 in cohort 1 and 7 in cohort 2). Median exposure for cohort 1 was 2.5 mCi (2.5 mCi, 2.5 mCi) and for cohort 2 was 5.1 mCi (4.7 mCi, 5.2 mCi). No DLTs were observed. Two grade 3 AEs occurred in Cohort 2 (diarrhea, syncope). The most frequent related TEAE were alopecia, fatigue, anemia, lymphopenia and nausea (all grade 1 or 2). One subject in Cohort 2 was discontinued due to progressive disease. Landmark PFS at 9 months is 89%. ORR is not yet mature and will be shown at the time of the meeting. Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) meeting was held on July 17 th , 2024, recommended dose escalation to cohort 3 at 7.5 mCi. No nephrotoxicity was reported in either cohort. Conclusions: [ 212 Pb]VMT-α-NET is safe up to 185 MBq (5 mCi) dose level, and the SMC supported dose escalate to cohort 3 at 277.5 MBq (7.5 mCi) following a mandated FDA review in fall. Cohort 2 remains open for dose level expansion. Early efficacy results demonstrate encouraging progression-free survival. Clinical trial information: NCT05636618 .

770 Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. A 584 bp deletion in CTRB2 , which impairs chymotrypsin B2 function, has been linked to increased PDAC risk. This study investigates the impact of this deletion on progression and survival outcomes in patients with PDAC. Methods: There were 633 patients in whom CTRB2ex6 deletion was genotyped; 263 patients received chemotherapy and had time to progression (TTP) information. TTP was calculated from diagnosis date until earliest of 1) progression date (event), 2) surgery, death, or next chemotherapy date (competing risk), or 3) date last known to be alive (censor). Overall survival (OS) was calculated for the cohort from diagnosis until date of death (event) or date last known to be alive (censor). TTP was analyzed using cumulative incidence methods accounting for competing risks; OS was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods. Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for age and sex were used to test associations and compute hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Median TTP in those with CTRB2ex6 deletion negative carrier status (n=209) was 1.3 years vs 5.9 years for those with positive carrier status (n=54). Estimated 3-year progression rates were 54.2% for patients with no CTRB2ex6 deletions, 43.7% for patients with one deletion (n=48), and 33.3% for patients with two CTRB2ex6 deletions (n=6). TTP was not associated with CTRB2 deletion carrier status (HR: 0.8, 95% CI: 0.6-1.3). Median OS for CTRB2ex6 deletion negative carriers (n=514) was 1.0 year vs 0.9 years for positive carriers (n=119); within deletion carriers, heterozygous carriers (n=110) had a median OS of 0.9 years, and homozygous carriers (n=9) had a median OS of 2.6 years. OS was not associated with CTRB2 deletion carrier status (HR: 1.0, 95% CI: 0.9-1.3). Conclusions: Although we did not detect statistically significant differences in TTP and OS by CTRB2ex6 deletion carrier status, there was an interesting trend toward longer TTP and OS in the small number of patients who carried homozygous CTRB2ex6 deletions. Larger studies are warranted to validate these findings.

TPS311 Background: Approximately 45% of dMMR/MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in the immunotherapy arm progressed at 12 mos (KEYNOTE 177). We hypothesize that dMMR/MSI-H mCRC patients (pts) may be more effectively treated with the combination of PD-1/PD-L1 (PD-1) pathway blockade and mFOLFOX6/bevacizumab (bev) rather than with anti-PD-L1 therapy (atezo) alone. Preclinical work demonstrated synergistic effects between anti-PD-1/anti-VEGF as well as between oxaliplatin/anti-PD-1 in murine CRC models, and phase II data showed activity of anti-PD-1/anti-VEGF in chemotherapy refractory colon cancer. Within the AtezoTRIBE 8-pt dMMR CRC subgroup treated with FOLFOXIRI+bev+atezo, median PFS was not reached, with the first progression event at ~16 mos. Additionally, in other solid tumor malignancies, anti-PD-1 plus anti-VEGFr (i.e., HCC and RCC) as well as anti-PD-1 plus chemotherapy (i.e., gastroesophageal and lung cancers) combinations are standard first-line treatments. Methods: This two-arm prospective phase III open-label trial randomizes (1:1) mCRC dMMR/MSI-H to atezo monotherapy v mFOLFOX6/bev+atezo combination. Key inclusion criteria have been simplified on recent amendments to better mirror clinical practice for pts receiving mFOLFOX6/bev+atezo: One cycle of FOLFOX or CAPOX, with or without bev (or biosimilar) prior to enrollment allowed, dMMR tumor determined by local CLIA-certified IHC assay (MLH1/MSH2/MSH6/PMS2) or MSI-H by local CLIA-certified PCR or NGS panel; pts with total bilirubin ≤4.0 x ULN; duration of therapy for up to two years for both arms; imaging frequency on post-treatment follow-up has been reduced; as has measurable disease per RECIST. Primary endpoint is PFS. Assuming the atezo monotherapy control arm has a 48% PFS at 24 mos as assessed by site investigator, we have 80% power to detect a hazard ratio of 0.6 (equivalent to 64.4% PFS at 24 mos) with alpha 0.025 one-sided. Stratification factors include BRAFV600E status, metastatic site, and prior adjuvant CRC therapy. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, objective response rate, safety profile, disease control rate, and duration of response. Archived tumor tissue and blood samples will be collected for correlative studies. Harmonization of translational analyses is planned between GI004 (COMMIT) and A021502 (ATOMIC). Sample size has been modified with the accrual goal of 120 pts randomized between the two immunotherapy arms needed for study completion. Enrollment actively continues at U.S. sites. Current accrual (as of 9-20-2024): 100/120. Clinical trial information: NCT02997228 .

131 Background: KRAS G12C mutations occur in 3%–4% of CRC cases and are associated with poor prognosis. In the phase 1/2 KRYSTAL-1 study (NCT03785249), at a median follow-up of 11.9 months (mo), Ada (irreversible inhibitor of KRAS G12C ) in combination with Cetux (anti-EGFR antibody) demonstrated promising clinical activity (objective response rate [ORR] of 34% per blinded independent central review [BICR] and 43% per investigator [INV]) and was well tolerated in patients (pts) with previously treated KRAS G12C -mutated mCRC. Based on these findings, Ada + Cetux was granted accelerated approval in the United States for these pts. Here, we present longer-term follow-up analyses from this study. Methods: Adults with previously treated KRAS G12C -mutated mCRC and ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 were treated with Ada (600 mg BID) in combination with Cetux (400 mg/m 2 followed by 250 mg/m 2 QW or 500 mg/m 2 Q2W) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or death, in separate phase 1 and phase 2 cohorts. Primary endpoints were safety (phase 1) and ORR per BICR (phase 2). Secondary endpoints were duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety (phase 2). Results: A total of 94 pts received Ada + Cetux. The median number of prior lines of systemic therapy was 3 (range, 1–9); 23 pts (24%) had received ≥ 4 prior lines of systemic therapy. The most frequent sites of metastases at baseline were the lung (71%) and liver (64%). At a median follow-up of 20.4 mo, ORR per INV was 43% (95% CI 32–53) and all were partial responses; median DOR was 5.9 (95% CI 5.5–7.6) mo. Disease control rate per INV was 86% (95% CI 78–92). Median PFS per INV was 6.9 (95% CI 5.9–7.4) mo; 6- and 12-mo PFS rates were 61% and 19%, respectively. Median OS was 16.0 (95% CI 13.3–18.8) mo; 6- and 12-mo OS rates were 88% and 66%, respectively. Any-grade treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported in 100% of pts, 28% of which were grade 3/4. TRAEs led to discontinuation in 10% of pts. Efficacy analyses by BICR, subgroup analyses, and additional safety results will be presented. Conclusions: In heavily pretreated pts with KRAS G12C -mutated mCRC, Ada + Cetux continued to demonstrate clinically meaningful activity and tolerable safety with longer follow-up. These updated results are consistent with those from the primary analysis and constitute the longest duration of follow-up for dual KRAS G12C /EGFR blockade in this setting. Efficacy of second-line Ada + Cetux vs chemotherapy in KRAS G12C -mutated mCRC is being investigated in the phase 3 KRYSTAL-10 study (NCT04793958). Clinical trial information: NCT03785249 .
