PURPOSE In immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis, amyloid fibrils cause organ dysfunction. Anselamimab, a monoclonal antibody, selectively binds to amyloid fibrils, accelerating their clearance. METHODS Newly diagnosed patients with European modification of Mayo 2004 stage IIIa or IIIb AL amyloidosis were randomly assigned to receive anselamimab or placebo with cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (with or without daratumumab). The primary end point was a hierarchical composite of time to all-cause mortality (ACM) and frequency of cardiovascular hospitalizations (CVHs), analyzed using the Finkelstein-Schoenfeld test and win ratio estimation. RESULTS Among 406 randomly assigned patients, the primary end point win ratio for anselamimab versus placebo was 1.11 (95% CI, 0.83, 1.50; P = .332) and the hazard ratio (HR) for ACM was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.57, 1.13; P = .290). CVH rates in the anselamimab and placebo groups were 0.59 (95% CI, 0.42, 0.83) and 0.89 (95% CI, 0.55, 1.43), respectively ( P = .145). Among patients with kappa isotype (n = 72), the win ratio was 2.06 (95% CI, 0.98, 4.31; P = .100) and anselamimab reduced ACM by 62% versus placebo (HR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.17 to 0.86; nominal P = .012), and CVH by 71% (IRR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.10 to 0.87; nominal P = .028) with improvements in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-Overall Score. There was no clinical benefit observed in the lambda population. Anselamimab was generally well-tolerated; safety data were comparable between treatment arms overall. CONCLUSION Treatment with anselamimab, an antifibril antibody used alongside antiplasma cell dyscrasia therapy, while not meeting the primary end point in the overall population, significantly improved ACM and CVH in patients with kappa AL, potentially offering a new therapeutic option for this isotype.

Abstract Repetitive head impacts sustained during American football have been associated with neuropathological changes such as white matter shear injuries. However, the impact of specific factors, such as age of first exposure and cumulative head impact burden, on white matter integrity remains unclear. This study investigated in vivo white matter microstructural changes using diffusion tensor imaging and tract-based spatial statistics in 165 male former American football players (mean age 57.3 years, range 45–74) and 52 unexposed asymptomatic male controls (mean age 59.4 years, range 45–74) in the DIAGNOSE CTE Research Project. Compared to controls, former football players exhibited significantly higher fractional anisotropy (FA) in 1.97% of the white matter skeleton (1552 voxels; Cohen’s d = 0.587) and higher tissue-corrected FA (FAt) in 1.48% of the white matter skeleton (1004 voxels; Cohen’s d = 0.616). No significant differences were observed for mean diffusivity, axial diffusivity, radial diffusivity, or free water between football players and controls. Among football players, there were no significant differences in the white matter microstructure between players diagnosed with traumatic encephalopathy syndrome and those without the diagnosis. Lower FA was significantly associated with older age (P < 0.00001) and an earlier age of first exposure to tackle football (P < 0.01), while lower FAt was associated with greater cumulative head impact burden, specifically higher linear acceleration (P < 0.04) and rotational force (P < 0.02). This study highlights the influential role of exposure factors on white matter microstructure in former American football players, as well as the utility of diffusion tensor imaging to aid in characterizing the long-term effects of repetitive head impacts in contact sport athletes.

Due to increasingly nuanced Crohn disease therapy selection and disease evaluation, radiologic assessment of transmural healing, although aspirational, may be more complete than endoscopic assessment of mucosal healing, which is the current treatment target.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Systemic thrombolysis is recommended for high-risk PE, but risk of major bleeding limits its use despite its efficacy. While mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has emerged as an alternative reperfusion strategy, real-world safety data remains limited. The objective of this single-center retrospective observational cohort study was to characterize the safety profile and procedural complications of MT. Methods Adult patients with intermediate-risk and high-risk PE who underwent MT at a quaternary academic medical center between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2024, were included. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, imaging, procedural, outcome, and mortality data were collected. Major adverse events and bleeding were defined according to established criteria. Results From a total of 103 screened patients, 65 were included. Of these, 22 (34%) were classified as high-risk and 43 (66%) as intermediate-risk. Baseline demographics were similar between groups. High-risk patients demonstrated greater clinical disease severity, with higher mean Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) scores (188.5 vs 122.4). Clinical deterioration prior to MT occurred in 35% of intermediate-risk patients. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) consultation rate (32% vs 7%), peri-procedural ECMO use (18% vs 2.3%), major bleeding (27% vs 4.7%), and in-hospital mortality (36% vs 11.6%) were higher in the high-risk group. Thrombus removal was achieved in 77% and 88% of high- and intermediate-risk patients, respectively. High-risk patients had longer ICU (mean 4 vs 1.3 days) and hospital stays (mean 21.5 vs 6.4 days), higher thirty-day mortality (36% vs 14%), and lower 90-day survival (59% vs 79%). Conclusions MT achieved high rates of thrombus removal in both groups. In this retrospective cohort, high-risk patients had greater baseline clinical severity and was associated with higher bleeding rates, greater resource utilization, including ECMO consultation and peri-procedural use, prolonged ICU and hospital stays, as well as increased mortality.

TPS3182 Background: MTAP deletion in solid tumors causes intracellular accumulation of methylthioadenosine (MTA) which partially inhibits activity of the key methylating enzyme, protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) and creates synthetic lethal dependencies on PRMT5 and methionine adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A), the rate limiting step in the synthesis of PRMT5 substrate, S-adenosyl methionine. PRMT5 and MAT2A are essential to transcription modulation, gene splicing, and DNA damage response. IDE892 is an MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor designed to exploit this vulnerability in MTAPdel tumors. Preclinical studies report robust antitumor activity with IDE892 monotherapy in MTAPdel xenograft models and an enhanced response when combined with IDE397 (an allosteric MAT2A inhibitor). IDE892-001 is a Phase 1 study evaluating safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antitumor activity of IDE892 alone and in combination with IDE397. Methods: IDE892-001 is an ongoing, open-label, multicenter four-part study: IDE892 monotherapy dose escalation (Part 1), monotherapy dose expansion in MTAPdel NSCLC (Part 2), IDE892 + IDE397 dose escalation (Part 3), and combination expansion in MTAPdel NSCLC (Part 4). Adults with advanced or metastatic MTAPdel solid tumors including lung, urothelial, gastrointestinal cancers (including pancreatic and biliary tract cancers) and mesothelioma are eligible following disease progression on standard therapies. Key exclusion criteria include symptomatic brain metastases, cardiac disease, active severe infection, and prior treatment with a PRMT5 or MAT2A inhibitor. Part 1 uses a Bayesian optimal interval design to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended doses for expansion (RDE). Part 3 uses a modified toxicity probability interval design to evaluate escalating combinations of IDE892 and IDE397. Oral treatment is given QD in 21-day cycles until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Serial blood samples are collected for PD analyses. Imaging will be performed every 6 weeks through week 24, then every 9–12 weeks. Efficacy endpoints will be assessed by RECIST v1.1. Primary objectives for dose-escalation cohorts (Parts 1 and 3) are safety and tolerability, including determination of MTD/RDE. In expansion cohorts (Parts 2 and 4), co-primary objectives include safety and preliminary antitumor activity (objective response rate and duration of response). Secondary endpoints for all parts include PK of IDE892 alone and in combination with IDE397. Exploratory assessments include progression free survival, changes in circulating and tumor-based markers of PRMT5 pathway modulation, molecular predictors of response, exposure–response relationships, and metabolite characterization.

TPS11598 Background: Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP) is expressed on the surface of cancer-associated fibroblasts and is involved in the formation, maintenance, and spread of tumors. Sarcoma frequently demonstrates high expression of FAP on the tumor cells themselves in contrast to other solid tumors, where it is mainly expressed on CAFs within the tumor stroma. Radioligand therapies utilizing alpha emitting isotopes such as Ac-225 have emerged as promising treatment strategies across multiple targets and indications in oncology. Ac-225 and its daughter radionuclides emit high-energy alpha particles capable of inducing double-stranded DNA breaks, leading to significant cytotoxic effects within cells. Early clinical data for other Ac-225-labeled compounds have shown promising outcomes, particularly in settings where traditional therapies have failed. [Ac-225] RTX-2358 (Ratio Therapeutics Inc, Boston, MA) is a novel FAP-targeted radioligand designed for specific high-affinity binding, resulting in prolonged tumor residence and limited normal tissue uptake. This sustained tumor retention leads to extended delivery of cytotoxic radiation to FAP-expressing tumors. A beta-emitting analog, [Lu-177]RTX-2358, has been administered to more than 25 patients under the German §13.2b compassionate use framework across multiple tumor types. Longitudinal SPECT imaging performed as late as 14 days after administration demonstrated persistent tumor retention with minimal washout. Based on time–activity curve analysis from these data, tumor biological half-time is estimated to be well in excess of 1,000 hours. Renal clearance was observed to be consistent with that reported for established lutetium-177–labeled radioligand therapies. Methods: This study is a seamless Phase 1 / 2 dose escalation study. The Phase 1 portion consists of a 3 x 3 dose escalation design, with patients treated in 3 planned dose escalation cohorts (7.5, 11.25 and 15 MBq) with up to 6, 8-week cycles of [Ac-225]RTX-2358. Backfill of phase 1 cohorts is permitted to facilitate selection of the recommended administered activity level for the subsequent Phase 2 expansion cohort. Dose escalation / de-escalation decisions will be made by a Safety Review Committee. Patients over 18yrs with a history of histologically confirmed relapsed or refractory soft tissue sarcoma (measurable disease per RECIST v1.1) are eligible if they have a positive [Cu-64]LNTH-1363S FAP PET, an ECOG PS 0 to 1, and adequate organ reserve and renal function. Recruitment of the first cohort was completed in December 2025. The ATLAS Study: NCT07156565 Clinical trial information: NCT07156565 .

TPS11592 Background: Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an ultra-rare vascular sarcoma with about 120 cases diagnosed in the US per year. Although it is commonly considered an indolent disease, in its aggressive form clinical outcomes are poor. Molecularly, EHE is characterized by the presence of oncogenic fusions with HIPPO pathway effectors TAZ or YAP; TAZ-CAMTA1 or YAP-TFE3. YAP/TAZ are modulators of mTORC1 in preclinical models, suggesting that mTOR inhibition may be an effective treatment mechanism for EHE. Nab-sirolimus is albumin bound sirolimus, which achieves higher intratumoral accumulation compared to oral sirolimus and has demonstrated increased antitumor activity in preclinical cancer models compared to the oral mTOR inhibitors sirolimus and everolimus. This is an open label, multi-center, single arm, phase II clinical trial with a two-stage design, testing nab-sirolimus for progressing or symptomatic EHE. The primary objective is to determine ORR of nab-sirolimus in patients with EHE who require systemic treatment. We hypothesize that nab-sirolimus will have significant clinical efficacy for EHE as measured by the primary endpoint of objective response rate, as well as by secondary outcomes including progression free survival benefit over historical controls and by improvement in patient reported outcomes (PROs). If positive, this trial could lead to a new standard of care for treating EHE. Methods: This is a single arm, multi-center, phase 2 study with a two-stage design. Key inclusion criteria include histologically or cytologically confirmed EHE that is either progressing or clinically symptomatic, not a candidate for curative intent surgery, and requires systemic therapy in the opinion of the investigator, radiographically evaluable disease by RECIST v1.1, age ≥18 years, ECOG performance status ≤ 2, and adequate end organ function. With a Simon two-stage optimal design with one sided alpha 0.10, power 90%, assuming a historical control ORR 5% to detect an ORR of 20% (alternative hypothesis), 12 patients will be included in the first stage. If there is ≥ 1 response, an additional 25 patients will be enrolled to a total of 37 patients. ≥ 4 responses are needed for a significant result. The total planned accrual is 41 patients to account for unevaluable patients who may be enrolled, 10% above the required evaluable patients. Planned post hoc subgroup analyses will include outcomes by fusion type and presence of serosal effusions at the time of study enrollment. The trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov NCT07104331. Clinical trial information: NCT07104331 .

e23089 Background: Sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are increasingly used for glycemic and cardiovascular benefits; however, concerns persist regarding genitourinary infections, particularly in vulnerable populations such as patients with cancer and diabetes. Real-world data evaluating the safety of SGLT2 inhibitors in this population remain limited. We evaluated the association between SGLT2 inhibitor use and genitourinary infection risk among cancer patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX federated research network. Adult patients (≥18 years) with malignant neoplasms and type 2 diabetes mellitus were identified. Patients were stratified based on exposure to SGLT2 inhibitors and compared with cancer patients with diabetes not receiving SGLT2 inhibitors. Primary outcomes included urinary tract infection (UTI) and cystitis, identified using ICD-10 diagnostic codes. Analyses included unadjusted comparisons, 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM), and a Cox proportional hazards model as a sensitivity analysis to assess time to first UTI within one year following index exposure. Results: A total of 7,485 patients were included (7,137 without SGLT2 inhibitors and 348 with SGLT2 inhibitors). In unadjusted analyses, crude rates of UTI and cystitis were numerically higher in the SGLT2 inhibitor cohort. After 1:1 propensity score matching (312 patients per cohort), baseline characteristics were well balanced. The incidence of UTI was identical between matched cohorts (6.41% vs 6.41%, p = 1.00), with no significant differences observed for cystitis or acute cystitis. In a Cox proportional hazards sensitivity analysis, SGLT2 inhibitor use was associated with a significantly lower hazard of UTI compared with no SGLT2 inhibitor exposure (hazard ratio 0.68, 95% confidence interval 0.52–0.89; p = 0.0048). Conclusions: In this large real-world cohort of cancer patients with diabetes, SGLT2 inhibitor use was not associated with an increased risk of genitourinary infections. Propensity-matched analyses demonstrated no difference in absolute infection risk, while time-to-event analysis suggested a lower hazard of UTI among patients receiving SGLT2 inhibitors. These findings support the genitourinary safety of SGLT2 inhibitors in cancer patients with diabetes and may inform clinical decision-making in this high risk population.

e19046 Background: While outcomes in pts with R/R FL have improved with current SOC treatments (Tx), there remains a need for safe, efficacious, and convenient Tx options. GOLCA is a potential, first-in-class, oral CELMoD designed for Tx of lymphoma, with preferential distribution to lymphoid organs and enhanced activity in lymphoma cell lines. GOLCA induces rapid and deep degradation of Ikaros and Aiolos, leading to direct cell killing and immunomodulatory activity. GOLCA + R was well tolerated and effective in heavily pretreated pts in the two-part Ph 1/2 study, CC-99282-NHL-001. Here, we provide longer f/u in pts with R/R FL from Part B of the study. Methods: Pts with R/R FL with ≥2 prior lines of Tx (≥1 if prior anti-CD20 Tx) received GOLCA orally, once daily at 0.2 mg (n=22) or 0.4 mg (n=38) ± R for up to 2 y or until progressive disease (PD)/unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoints included safety and RP2D determination; secondary endpoints are preliminary efficacy and PK. Results: As of September 15, 2025, 60 pts were enrolled. In 0.2 and 0.4 mg groups, median prior Tx lines were 3 and 3, 32% and 32% had prior lenalidomide (LEN), 27% and 29% had prior T-cell–redirecting Tx (CAR T and/or bispecific antibody) and 32% and 32% were refractory to last regimen. Tx is ongoing in 6 (27%) and 17 (45%) pts at 0.2 and 0.4 mg, respectively; discontinuations (d/c) were mostly due to PD. Neutropenia, an on-target side effect of GOLCA, was the most common grade 3/4 Tx-emergent adverse event (TEAE) occurring in 59% and 68% of pts at 0.2 and 0.4 mg, followed by anemia (9% and 16%) and febrile neutropenia (9% and 8%). Median time to resolution of neutropenia was 8 days. Dose reductions occurred in 14% and 37% of pts at 0.2 and 0.4 mg, most commonly due to neutropenia (5% and 21%) and febrile neutropenia (5% and 5%). No d/c or deaths were from GOLCA-related TEAEs. Non-hematologic TEAEs were infrequent and mostly low grade. In efficacy-evaluable pts (GOLCA 0.2 and 0.4 mg + R, n=22 and n=36), median f/u was 14.03 months (mo), overall response rate (ORR) was 77% (complete response rate [CRR], 41%) at 0.2 mg, and 97% (CRR, 78%) at 0.4 mg. In the 0.4 mg group, responses were consistent in high-risk subsets including pts with prior LEN (ORR, 100%; CRR, 75%) and/or T-cell–redirecting Tx (ORR, 91%; CRR, 64%). GOLCA 0.4 mg + R demonstrated durable responses (median DOR, 9.17 mo; 91% of pts who achieved a CR remained in CR at cutoff). Conclusions: With longer f/u, GOLCA + R demonstrated promising efficacy with durable responses and no new safety signals. The 0.4 mg group had higher ORR and CRR than 0.2 mg, including in pts with prior LEN-based and/or T-cell–redirecting Tx, with a manageable safety profile at both doses. The results support the development of GOLCA + R as a fixed-duration, chemotherapy-free outpatient Tx in the Ph 3 GOLSEEK-4 study in 2L+ FL (NCT06911502). Clinical trial information: NCT03930953 .
