Abstract The Africa Working Group, under the auspices of the Global Laboratory Quality Initiative of the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM), conducted several educational workshops in Africa to promote laboratory quality in the region. The challenges faced in maintaining quality in clinical laboratories in low-resource countries may differ from region to region and country to country. To better understand current gaps and inform our engagement with partners in Africa, a needs assessment survey was distributed to 1427 ADLM members in Africa and further disseminated through local partners, resulting in 121 responses from participants across 8 countries in the region. Additionally, interviews were conducted with laboratory professionals from the countries surveyed. The surveys primarily focused on quality management, continuing education, budgeting, infrastructure and funding, supplies, and staffing issues. The data collected from the surveys and interviews strongly indicate that respondents face major challenges in all areas assessed, including lack of funding, lack of equipment, lack of quality control (QC) and external quality assessment (EQA) materials, gaps in quality management, lack of appropriate budgeting, staffing issues, and lack of accessible training/continuing education. Consistent with the primary focus of ADLM;s Global Quality Initiative, improved access to continuing education was identified as the primary need by the participants (58%). The assessment highlights that while a strong role for educational workshops in mitigating some of the challenges continues to exist, there is also an opportunity to broaden the scope of the working groups beyond education.

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.

TPS2103 Background: Treatment for newly diagnosed IDH-mutant astrocytoma, WHO grade 3, is based on the results of the CATNON study, demonstrating benefit of radiotherapy followed by 12 months of adjuvant temozolomide. While temozolomide and radiotherapy significantly improved survival, the prognosis for these patients remains limited and more effective therapies are required. This trial will evaluate the benefit of the addition of the IDH1 and IDH-2 inhibitor vorasidenib to adjuvant temozolomide versus placebo following standard radiotherapy to evaluate possible improvement in outcomes. Methods: Alliance A072301 (NCT07215910) is a multicenter, double-blinded phase 3 randomized study to determine if the addition of vorasidenib to adjuvant temozolomide significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS), based on blinded central review in patients with newly diagnosed, IDH-mutant astrocytoma, WHO grade 3. Key inclusion criteria include age ≥ 12 years old, histological confirmation of astrocytoma (absence of 1p/19q codeletion), WHO grade 3, presence of any IDH mutation, plan for radiation and chemotherapy and surgery within 6 months. The presence of CDKN2A/B homozygous deletion, spinal or leptomeningeal disease, as well as prior chemotherapy, cranial irradiation or IDH inhibitor therapy, is exclusionary. 408 patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive vorasidenib 40 mg or placebo daily with 12 cycles of temozolomide following radiotherapy and then continued as monotherapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Stratification factors include age (< 40 years old vs ≥ 40 years old) and residual disease (< 2 cm vs ≥ 2 cm). Tumor assessments with MRI will be every three months for the first two years, every four months for the next two years and then every six months thereafter as per blinded independent central review using the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) 2.0 criteria. Key secondary endpoints include PFS by local review, time to next treatment, safety and tolerability, quality of life measures. Exploratory measures will include seizure frequency. The trial will have 85% power to detect a hazard ratio of 0.625 with one-sided type I error rate of 0.025. Enrollment for the trial commenced February 2026.

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 .

e20731 Background: Selective RET (REarranged during Transfection) inhibitors (RETi) have become standard treatment for RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer ( RET + NSCLC), which represent 1–2% of NSCLC cases. Clinical factors that drive front-line versus later-line RETi use and outcomes are not well understood. This retrospective chart review evaluates physician decision drivers alongside real-world effectiveness and safety for pralsetinib (PRAL) in RET + NSCLC. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted via a standardized web-based form among US oncologists treating advanced RET + NSCLC. Eligible patients initiated PRAL for RET + NSCLC between October 2020 and December 2024. Data gathered included physician treatment considerations, patient baseline characteristics, and efficacy outcomes. Results: Eighty-two charts from patients who received PRAL as their first (index) RETi were collected from 43 physicians across both academic (41.9%) and community (58.1%) sites. Of the 82 patients, 51.2% received PRAL front line (1L) and 31.7% in the second line (2L). From a predefined list, physicians most often cited comorbidities (36.6%) and ECOG performance status (31.7%) as clinical factors when considering index PRAL therapy and efficacy profile (56.1%), followed by intracranial activity (24.4%) and hypersensitivity to immuno-oncology agents (24.4%) as therapy-related considerations. Although not a primary therapy selection driver, in 13 patients with safety as a consideration, 6 (46.2%) had myelosuppression noted as a concern for index PRAL treatment. RET + NSCLC patients treated in the 1L setting with PRAL had an overall response rate (ORR) of 73.8% (14 CR; 17 PR). For 2L line PRAL, the ORR was 61.5% (1 CR; 15 PR). Anemia (17.1%), diarrhea (13.4%), and constipation (13.4%) were the most frequently reported adverse events (AE). Discontinuation was mainly due to loss of/no response (80.6%), insurance (16.1%), and AEs (3.2%). The single PRAL patient that discontinued due to an AE had edema. There were an additional 7 patients that switched to PRAL due to an AE on a different RETi. The post-switch ORR was 57.1% (4/7); of these patients, 3 maintained their previous response and 1 improved their response. Conclusions: In this retrospective chart review, pralsetinib was used across treatment lines with high real-world response rates, consistent with results from the ARROW trial. Treatment selection was influenced by specific clinical factors including patient comorbidities, ECOG performance status, and safety concerns, with AE-driven switching uncommon yet associated with continued responses.

8524 Background: Teliso-V is a c-Met–directed antibody-drug conjugate comprising telisotuzumab and the microtubule polymerization inhibitor monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) payload. In the Ph2 LUMINOSITY study (NCT03539536), Teliso-V showed durable responses and manageable safety (Camidge et al, JCO 2024;42:3000-11) resulting in its accelerated approval in locally advanced/metastatic NSQ NSCLC with high c-Met protein OE (3+, ≥50%), as determined by an FDA-approved test. MET amp is a negative prognostic risk factor in advanced NSCLC, frequently associated with recurrent disease. High levels of MET amp and c-Met OE are hallmarks of MET -addicted tumors. Here, we analyzed the effects of MET amp on clinical responses to Teliso-V in LUMINOSITY. Methods: MET amp was evaluated by FISH and ctDNA in baseline samples from 108 NSQ EGFR WT NSCLC pts with c-Met OE (3+, ≥25%). MET amp by FISH was defined as having focal MET amp (MET/CEP7 ≥2.0) with MET gene copy number (GCN) ≥4. MET amp (focal) by ctDNA was defined as having plasma MET GCN ≥4 with no co-amplification in CDK6 and EGFR. c-Met OE by Immunohistochemistry (IHC; SP44) was defined as 3+ tissue staining intensity in ≥25% tumor cells (high c-Met OE: 3+, ≥50%; intermediate [int] c-Met OE: 3+, 25% to 49%). Exploratory analysis of tumor response was assessed in 76 efficacy evaluable pts with c-Met OE and MET amp assay results. Results: MET amp was detected in 34% (37/108) of pts with c-Met OE (3+, ≥25%) and was enriched by c-Met levels: 22% (11/50) in pts with Int c-Met OE (3+, 25% to 49%) and 45% (26/58) in pts with high c-Met OE (3+, ≥50%). The effects of MET amp on tumor response in LUMINOSITY are shown in Table 1. The majority of c-Met OE pts (79%) with PFS ≥10 mo (n=14) had GCN ≥10 and/or c-Met IHC 3+ ≥50%. No new safety signals were reported in pts with c-Met OE and MET amp. Conclusions: MET amp is more common in pts with high c-Met OE in this retrospective subgroup analysis. Tumor activity with Teliso-V was observed regardless of MET amp status. The impact of MET amp in pts with c-Met OE will be further evaluated in ongoing Phase 3 study (NCT04928846).

7563 Background: Subcutaneous (SC) drug delivery options have become more widely available in multiple myeloma (MM). SC delivery of isatuximab (Isa), an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, has been investigated across clinical trials via a novel hands-free on-body injector (OBI). Isa SC OBI features a small, retractable needle, establishing the first device-enabled delivery of an oncologic treatment. The Phase 3 IRAKLIA, Phase 2 IZALCO, and Phase 1b (TCD15484) trials consistently demonstrated similar efficacy and safety of Isa SC OBI vs Isa IV in relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) patients (pts). Here, we present a cross-trial analysis exploring safety and reliability of Isa SC OBI in RRMM pts. Methods: Pts with RRMM in IRAKLIA (N=263) and the Phase 1b expansion cohort (N=22) received 1400 mg Isa SC OBI plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone (d). In IZALCO, RRMM pts (N=64) received 1400 mg Isa SC OBI + carfilzomib (K)-d. Pts were monitored for 4 hrs (IRAKLIA) or 1-2 hrs (IZALCO) following first administration and for 1 hr for the following cycle (C) 1 administrations to assess local tolerability. Pre-infusion medications included montelukast (C1), steroids, acetaminophen and H1 antihistamines. Pts without systemic infusion-related reactions (IRRs) after 4 consecutive administrations of Isa SC OBI had subsequent pre-medication reassessed at investigator’s discretion. Safety and device performance explored in this cross-trial analysis of company sponsored studies were assessed in the Isa SC OBI cohorts by the duration of injection, IRRs, local injection-site reactions (ISRs), and injection/device success, which were defined similarly across all trials. Results: The median duration of Isa SC OBI injection was 13 mins in IRAKLIA, 12 mins in IZALCO, and 10 mins in the Phase 1b trial (6426 total injections, N=349 pts). IRRs across trials occurred in 6/6426 (0.09%) injections and 4/349 (1.15%) pts. IRRs were mostly grade 1 (G; 3/6426, 0.05%) with 1 G3 (0.02%); none leading to discontinuation. In IRAKLIA, 80/263 (30.4%) pts did not require premedication (931/5145 injections, 18.1%); no IRRs occurred in this group. Across trials, ISRs occurred in 21/349 (6.02%) pts resulting in 35 (0.54%) ISR events. Most ISRs were G1 (33, 0.51%), the remaining were G2 (2, 0.03%) and generally occurred on the day of injection. 99.9% (6421/6426) of injections in 98.6% (344/349) pts were successful (completed without interruption) across all trials. Conclusions: These findings support overall low, self-limiting rates of IRRs and ISRs across trials, with >6000 (99.9%) Isa SC OBI injections successfully delivered. Isa SC OBI shows reproducible safety and reliability in IRAKLIA, IZALCO and Phase 1b trials, supporting it as a novel administration option for MM pts and its potential for future exploration in at-home administration.

4562 Background: Approximately 50-80% of patients (pts) with la/mUC have tumors with HER2 protein expression. As HER2-directed therapies enter development, a robust understanding of HER2 prevalence and real-world outcomes with standard-of-care (SOC) therapies across HER2 expression subgroups is needed. SGNDV-003 (NCT05902494) is a global retrospective chart review study in which HER2 status was assessed via central lab testing and outcomes were analyzed by HER2 status in pts with la/mUC. Methods: SGNDV-003, conducted 6/2023-7/2025, included pts with la/mUC who received ≥1 prior treatment (tx) (incl. 1 line of platinum-based chemotherapy [chemo]). HER2 status was centrally tested using a UC-specific investigational immunohistochemistry [IHC] and in situ hybridization (ISH) assays. HER2 status was defined as: HER2-positive (IHC3+ or IHC2+/ISH+), HER2-low (IHC2+/ISH- or IHC1+), HER2-expressing (IHC3+, 2+, 1+), and HER2-zero (IHC0). Index line of therapy (LOT) was defined as the first LOT received after platinum-based chemo. Outcomes included real-world objective response rate (rwORR) (per RECIST 1.1 or physician-assessed response) to index LOT, real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS), and overall survival (OS) from start of index LOT. Data was analyzed via descriptive statistics. Results: A total of 353 pts with la/mUC and available HER2 status were analyzed (male, 76%; median age, 70 years). 70% of pts were HER2 expressing (19% HER2-positive, 51% HER2-low); 30% were HER2-zero. Disease characteristics were well balanced by HER2 status. Index LOT tx and real-world outcomes are shown in the Table. Immuno-oncology therapies (IO) and enfortumab vedotin (EV) were the most common index LOTs. For IO, rwORRs were 21% for HER2-expressing and 17% for HER2-zero. For EV mono, rwORRs were 36% (HER2-expressing) and 38% (HER2-zero), respectively. Conclusions: This global study provides a robust estimate of HER2 distribution in la/mUC based on standardized central lab testing, showing high prevalence of HER2 expression. Real-world outcomes with current SOC therapies were broadly consistent across HER2 subgroups, establishing an important benchmark for the clinical development of HER2-directed therapies in this setting.

2090 Background: A subset of meningiomas has an aggressive clinical course requiring multimodal therapies. Yet, treatment options beyond surgery and radiation are limited. Somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) is uniformly expressed in meningiomas and can be targeted by the radiopharmaceutical agent [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE ( 177 Lu-Dotatate). [ 68 Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE ( 68 Ga-Dotatate) PET is emerging as a promising imaging modality to assess treatment response in SSTR2-expressing tumors. However, prospective clinical data supporting the use of 177 Lu-Dotatate and 68 Ga-Dotatate in treatment-refractory meningiomas is limited. Methods: In this multicenter, open-label, phase 2 clinical study (NCT03971461), adult patients with progressive intracranial meningiomas received 177 Lu-Dotatate at 7.4 GBq (200 mCi) every 8 weeks for 4 doses. The primary endpoint was 6-month progression-free survival (PFS-6). Up to 5 meningioma lesions per patient were assessed by gadolinium-enhanced T1 MRI every 12 weeks. 68 Ga-Dotatate PET was obtained before/after 177 Lu-Dotatate treatments. Lesional 68 Ga-Dotatate PET activity was assessed relative to liver/spleen or superior sagittal sinus (SSS). Results: 32 patients (female = 21, male = 11) with progressive meningiomas (WHO grade 1 = 7, grade 2 = 24, grade 3 = 1) were enrolled. Median age was 65.5 (range 41-78) years. All patients had at least one prior tumor surgery and at least one course of radiation. Overall, 177 Lu-Dotatate was well tolerated and the most common grade 3/4 adverse events were transient cytopenia in 15 patients (47%). One patient (3%) discontinued treatment due to grade 4 thrombocytopenia. PFS-6 was reached in 22 patients (69%), which includes 5 of 7 (71%) with grade 1 and 17 of 24 (71%) with grade 2 meningiomas. Best radiographic response by MRI was partial response (PR) in 5 (16%) and stable disease (SD) in 20 (63%) patients. Eight patients (16 lesions) were evaluable by paired MRI and 68 Ga-Dotatate PET pre- and post-treatment. Referenced to SSS, 68 Ga-Dotatate avidity reduced by ≥50% in 2 lesions (PR), 25-49% (minor response, MR) in 3 lesions and remained stable ( < 25% reduction and < 25% increase) in 11 lesions. Using liver/spleen as a reference (6 patients, 14 lesions), 68 Ga-Dotatate uptake was reduced in 9 lesions and stable in 5 lesions. 68 Ga-Dotatate PET assessments were generally concordant with MRI-based treatment response assessments. Conclusions: The primary endpoint (PFS-6) was met in this phase 2 study with 69% of patients achieving PFS-6, thereby surpassing established historical benchmarks. 177 Lu-Dotatate was generally well tolerated and deserves further study in patients with advanced meningiomas. Exploratory 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET studies showed decreased uptake in a subset of lesions and bears promise as an imaging biomarker to assess treatment response. Clinical trial information: NCT03971461 .

1633 Background: CAR-T cell therapy has transformed outcomes of hematologic malignancies and is poised to expand into solid malignancies. However, broader use of CAR-T remains constrained by the need for timely cytokine release syndrome (CRS) detection. Current episodic monitoring may miss early physiologic changes. Wearable digital health technologies (DHTs), offering continuous monitoring and real-time alerts, could enable earlier CRS detection, further support outpatient delivery, and expand access to CAR-T and potentially other immunotherapies associated with CRS. Methods: This single-center observational study (NCT05018208) enrolled patients receiving FDA-approved CAR-T products in the outpatient setting at Mayo Clinic, Rochester MN. Management of post-CAR-T complications (e.g. CRS) followed the institution’s standard of care. Patients were monitored from day -5 to day +30 post infusion with intermittent remote patient monitoring (SoC) and an arm-worn wearable device for continuous monitoring (DHT). Patients were included in this analysis if DHT data were available for ≥ 5h of data/day or ≥ 2h of data/night on ≥2 days or nights for baseline and ≥1 day or night within 72h prior to CRS, or at least 2h within 4h of CRS onset, or if DHT was available for ≥7 days/nights post infusion with no CRS event. CRS detection time by DHT was defined as the onset of pyrexia or threshold-based deviation from an individual’s baseline pulse distributions. Results: 32 patients were included in this report (median age 64 years, gender 12 F/20 M, diagnoses 18 MM/14 NHL). 25 patients experienced a CRS event, with maximum CRS grades ranging from 1-3 (16 G1, 8 G2, 1 G3). 24/25 patients with CRS required tocilizumab/steroid. Median CRS onset time was 3.4 days (range 0.4-18.4). 12/32 patients had sufficient DHT data (7 CRS, 5 no CRS) for analysis. 5 patients with CRS had a DHT detection time in advance of the SoC by a median of 13h (range 2.8 - 69.2). The DHT prediction of CRS by baseline HR change was earlier than the first episodic fever by a median of 14.5h (range 13-77.5). The remaining 2/7 patients who did not have CRS detected by the DHT had missing DHT data for more than 45h before a treated CRS event. DHT detected CRS in 2/5 patients without CRS according to SoC. One patient had fever caught with intermittent monitoring. The other was treated for neutropenia fever with suspicion of CRS and/or infection. Conclusions: These results offer evidence that continuous DHT can identify CRS events earlier than intermittent monitoring (SoC). Despite limitations related to compliance with wearable device use and data missingness, and variability in clinical management of CRS, we highlight the usability of DHT and its potential for future studies with optimized strategies to address these limitations.
