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 .

7062 Background: MCL is a rare and aggressive subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that remains incurable. Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors are an established standard of care for R/R MCL. However, comparative effectiveness data for different BTK inhibitors for R/R MCL are limited. This study evaluated the real-world effectiveness of zanu and acala in US patients with R/R MCL based on overall survival (OS) and time to next treatment (TTNT). Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using Komodo health administrative claims data. Eligible patients were adults (aged ≥18 years) with ≥2 MCL diagnoses and continuous enrollment or activities within 1 year prior to and 3 months following the index date. Patients were required to initiate monotherapy with zanu (index period: November 2019 to August 2025) or acala (index period: October 2017 to August 2025) as a second-line or later (2L+) treatment, with index date defined as the first observed claim for zanu or acala. Patients with evidence of clinical trial participation, end stage renal disease or prior stem cell transplant were excluded. Outcomes included OS (time from index date to all-cause mortality) and TTNT (time from index date to subsequent therapy with an allowable gap of 120 days). If an outcome was not observed, patients were censored at the date of last activity or enrollment end date. Survival analyses were conducted using Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox proportional hazards models. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was adjusted for age, sex, US region, treatment initiation year and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). Results: In total, 2219 patients (zanu, n=931; acala, n=1288) were eligible and included in the study. The mean age was higher in the zanu (72.3 years; SD, 9.4) vs acala cohort (71.4 years; SD, 9.7). Most patients were male (zanu, 71%; acala, 75%), non-Hispanic white (zanu, 73%; acala, 74%), and the mean CCI was 3.5 (SD, 3.2) and 3.6 (SD, 3.1) in the zanu and acala cohorts, respectively. Median follow-up was 14.8 and 18.2 months in zanu and acala cohorts, respectively. Median TTNT was 26.7 months for zanu and 20.8 months for acala. Median OS was not reached for zanu and was 60.6 months for acala. In the unadjusted model, zanu had a longer TTNT (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.76-0.97; P =.012) and OS (HR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.62-0.88; P <.001). After IPTW adjustment, TTNT and OS favored zanu treatment (TTNT: IPTW-adjusted HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.76-0.98; P =.025; OS: IPTW-adjusted HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.68-0.98; P =.03). Conclusions: In this real-world analysis of US health claims data, zanu monotherapy demonstrated significantly longer TTNT and improved OS compared with acala in patients receiving 2L+ therapy for MCL. These findings support zanu as an effective BTK inhibitor for R/R MCL.

4614 Background: Enfortumab vedotin (EV) + pembrolizumab (pembro) is the established first-line standard of care for locally advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma and represents a novel neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment strategy for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who are ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The randomized phase 3 KEYNOTE-B15/EV-304 study (NCT04700124) evaluates neoadjuvant EV + pembro followed by radical cystectomy plus pelvic lymph node dissection (RC + PLND) and adjuvant EV + pembro vs neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by RC + PLND in participants (pts) with MIBC who are eligible for cisplatin-based therapy. Methods: Pts with clinical stage T2-T4aN0M0 or T1-T4aN1M0 MIBC (confirmed by central pathology and central imaging assessment) who were eligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy and RC + PLND were randomized 1:1 to receive either 4 cycles neoadjuvant EV 1.25 mg/kg IV on days 1 and 8 + pembro 200 mg IV on day 1 Q3W, followed by RC + PLND, and adjuvant 5 cycles EV + 13 cycles pembro (EV + pembro arm) vs 4 cycles neoadjuvant gemcitabine 1000 mg/m 2 on days 1 and 8 + cisplatin 70 mg/m 2 on day 1 Q3W, followed by RC + PLND (cis + gem arm). The primary endpoint was event-free survival (EFS) by blinded independent central review. Key secondary endpoints were pathological complete response (pCR) rate by blinded central pathological review and overall survival (OS). Safety was a secondary endpoint; AEs of special interest were based on distinct prespecified lists for each drug. Results: A total of 405 and 403 pts were randomized to EV + pembro and cis + gem, respectively. Median time from randomization to the data cutoff date of October 27, 2025 was 33.6 months (range, 22.5–53.6). Baseline characteristics were generally balanced between groups. EV + pembro significantly improved EFS (median NR vs 48.5 mo; 24-mo estimated EFS rate 79.4% vs 66.2%; HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.41–0.70; 1-sided P <.0001), OS (median NR vs NR; 24-mo estimated OS rate 86.9% vs 81.3%; HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.48–0.89; 1-sided P =.0029), and pCR rate (55.8% vs 32.5%; estimated difference 23.4%, 95% CI 16.7–29.8; 1-sided P <.0001) vs cis + gem. Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent AEs occurred in 75.7% of pts with EV + pembro and 67.2% with cis + gem. Most common grade ≥3 drug-related AE of special interest for EV was skin reactions (14.1%); most common grade ≥3 AE of special interest for pembro was severe skin reactions (13.9%). Conclusions: Neoadjuvant and adjuvant EV + pembro significantly improved EFS, OS, and pCR rate compared with neoadjuvant gem + cis in pts with MIBC who were eligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The safety profile of EV + pembro was consistent with prior experience with the combination. These results support EV + pembro as an effective perioperative treatment option in this setting.

<title>RESUMEN</title> <p>A pesar de que la Práctica Basada en la Evidencia (PBE) ha estandarizado los tratamientos psicológicos, la realidad clínica sigue enfrentándose a una barrera persistente: la dificultad de traducir los resultados de ensayos clínicos grupales a la singularidad de cada paciente en contextos reales. Como respuesta, la Salud Mental de Precisión (SMP) propone una evolución del modelo actual, integrando el cuidado basado en la medición y la toma de decisiones basada en datos para ajustar la intervención a las necesidades específicas de cada persona, gracias en gran medida a desarrollos tecnológicos recientes como la Inteligencia Artificial (IA). En este contexto, el presente artículo persigue dos objetivos fundamentales. En primer lugar, sintetiza los pilares operativos de la SMP, analizando cómo la medición rutinaria y las predicciones algorítmicas pueden potenciar el juicio clínico del profesional. En segundo lugar, se introduce el proyecto NOVA (Navigating Outcomes via Analytics), un proyecto traslacional diseñado para superar las barreras actitudinales, tecnológicas, estadísticas y contextuales de la implementación de herramientas de SMP en España. Se discute sobre los pasos necesarios para cerrar la brecha entre la innovación tecnológica y la práctica asistencial en psicología, acelerando la adopción sostenible de una psicología de precisión en el mundo real.</p>

INTRODUCTION: Normalized quality of life represents a crucial long-term treatment goal in Crohn's disease (CD). We evaluated the effect of risankizumab (RZB) vs ustekinumab (UST) on achieving clinically meaningful improvements in patient-reported outcomes in the phase 3b head-to-head SEQUENCE study. METHODS: Adults with moderate-to-severe CD whose previous anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy failed were randomized 1:1 to recommended induction and maintenance doses of RZB or UST. The proportion of patients who achieved Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) response, IBDQ remission, and improvements in 36-item short-form health survey physical and mental component summary (physical component summary and mental component summary, respectively) scores was evaluated at weeks 24 and 48. The proportion of patients experiencing improvement in select symptoms of the IBDQ was reported. RESULTS: Analysis included 520 patients (RZB: N = 255; UST: N = 265). At week 24, greater proportions(all P ≤ .01) of RZB- vs UST-treated patients achieved IBDQ response (75.3% vs 64.2%), IBDQ remission (52.5% vs 30.9%), and improvements in 36-item short-form health survey physical component summary (65.9% vs 53.2%). At 24 weeks, lower proportions (all P ≤ .05) of RZB- vs UST-treated patients experienced fatigue (51.4% vs 69.1%), difficulty sleeping (37.7% vs 54.3%), depression (34.1% vs 42.6%), anxiety (34.1% vs 49.8%), and bowel urgency (27.1% vs 40.0%) all of the time to some of the time. Improvements were sustained through week 48. DISCUSSION: RZB was more effective than UST in achieving sustained clinically meaningful patient-reported outcome improvements including IBDQ response and remission, and in reducing frequency of select symptoms of the IBDQ through week 48 among patients with moderate-to-severe CD.

Importance Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is curative for hematologic cancers, yet access remains inequitable for racially and ethnically underrepresented and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, making the goal of having a suitable donor for every patient who needs a transplant challenging. The ACCESS trial broadened access by enrolling patients without matched donors, who instead received an HCT from a mismatched unrelated donor. Objective To compare baseline characteristics of ACCESS trial participants with participants enrolled in a similar clinical trial and a patient-reported outcome (PRO) protocol cohort. Design, Setting, and Participants This cross-sectional study included adult participants (aged ≥18 years) from 3 cohorts—the ACCESS trial (2021-2024), BMT CTN 1703 trial (2019-2021), and Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) PRO Protocol observational study (2020-2025)—who completed a baseline PRO survey. The ACCESS and PRO Protocol cohorts were stratified by conditioning intensity (myeloablative [MAC] vs reduced-intensity and nonmyeloablative [RIC/NMA]); all BMT CTN 1703 participants received RIC/NMA. Exposure Hematopoietic cell transplant. Main Outcomes and Measures Racial and ethnic diversity, insurance type, education, and income were compared among cohorts using counts and percentages, and socioeconomic and structural disadvantage were measured using the Social Vulnerability Index and Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity–Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy. Results Baseline surveys were completed by 208 participants in the ACCESS trial (median [range] age at transplant, 62.3 [20.4-78.9] years; 108 male [51.9%]), 122 participants in the PRO Protocol study (median [range] age at transplant, 63.9 [21.1-78.0] years; 67 male [54.9%]), and 342 participants in the BMT CTN 1703 trial (median [range] age at transplant, 66.9 [20.7-78.6] years; 218 male [63.7%]). Participants in ACCESS were more racially and ethnically diverse, with 15 (7.2%), 25 (12.1%), 46 (22.2%), 110 (53.1%), and 11 (5.3%) of Asian, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, White, and other race and ethnicity, respectively, compared with 4 (3.3%), 2 (1.6%), 8 (6.6%) 104 (85.2%), and 4 (3.3%), respectively, in the PRO Protocol and 10 (3.0%), 0, 16 (4.8%), 302 (91.0%), and 4 (1.2%), respectively, in the BMT CTN 1703 trial. Participants in ACCESS were more likely to have Medicaid (36 [18.1%]) vs PRO Protocol (8 [6.7%]) and BMT CTN 1703 (16 [5.1%]) participants and reported lower education (some college or an associate’s degree: 103 [49.5%] vs 73 [59.8%] in the PRO Protocol; postcollege education: 34 [17.3%] vs 35 [29.2%] in the PRO Protocol) and household income (&amp;lt;$40 000 annually: 25 [24.0%] vs 8 [11.6%] in the PRO Protocol and 7 [38.9%] in the BMT CTN 1703 trial). Median Social Vulnerability Index scores were highest among participants in the ACCESS MAC group (median [range], 0.72 [0.01-0.97] vs 0.61 [0.16-0.78] in the PRO Protocol MAC group), and 16 participants [27.6%] in the ACCESS MAC group reported moderate to severe financial toxicity. The ACCESS participants lived closer to transplant centers, especially in the RIC/NMA group (median [IQR], 28 [14-75] miles vs 47 [16-96] miles for BMT CTN 1703 participants and 49 [21-104] miles for PRO Protocol participants). Conclusions and Relevance This cross-sectional study of clinical trial participants and a clinical cohort found that the ACCESS trial enrolled a more racially and ethnically diverse and socioeconomically disadvantaged population. Trial designs that broaden eligibility could expand access to HCT, highlighting the need for systemic interventions to ensure equity.

Background Grade group 5 (GG5) prostate cancer (PCa) carries a less favorable prognosis after standard-of-care (SOC) therapy, necessitating novel therapeutic approaches. High-dose rate brachytherapy (HDRBT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) may modulate immune response in GG5 PCa, particularly in tumors with increased immune content. This study evaluated whether the addition of nivolumab to SOC was associated with improved disease control in patients with high-volume GG5 PCa, including those with oligometastatic disease. Methods In this non-randomized phase II trial, 31 patients with localized or oligometastatic GG5 PCa and >30% positive biopsy cores were evaluated between September 2018 and April 2021. Patients received four doses of nivolumab (240 mg every 2 weeks) beginning 4 weeks prior to HDRBT, alongside ADT, HDRBT, and external beam radiation. The primary endpoint was to evaluate whether the 2-year freedom from biochemical recurrence (FFBR) rate would exceed a prespecified historical control rate of 75%. Results Among the 31 patients, the median follow-up was 38.8 months (IQR 31.0–46.5 months). The addition of nivolumab to SOC RT with ADT was associated with a 2-year FFBR rate of 90.3% (95% CI 74.3% to 98.0%) (median FFBR not reached), exceeding the prespecified historical control rate of 75% (one-sided p value from binomial test=0.024). Definitive and probable nivolumab-related toxicity included 6.3% acute grade 2 and 6.3% acute grade 3 adverse events (AEs), with no grade 4+ AEs observed. A higher Decipher immunosuppression score at diagnosis correlated with early pathologic response (p=0.005) and was independently associated with time to metastatic failure (p=0.044). Conclusions Nivolumab combined with SOC was associated with encouraging FFBR in this high-risk GG5 PCa population and may represent a promising therapeutic intensification strategy. The Decipher immunosuppression score may serve as a predictive biomarker for response. These findings warrant further investigation in randomized trials.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Sleep and circadian rest–activity rhythm (RAR) disruption may bidirectionally relate to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Down syndrome (DS), the most common genetic cause of AD, presents sleep disorders, yet RAR patterns across the DS‐associated AD continuum remain uncharacterized. METHODS We analyzed 7‐day wrist actigraphy in 140 adults with DS (108 asymptomatic; 32 AD dementia) and 41 unimpaired controls. General linear models, adjusted for age, sex, sleep efficiency, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity, tested group differences, with interaction terms included to evaluate group‐specific associations. RESULTS DS showed lower relative amplitude and higher nocturnal activity, already in asymptomatic individuals. Rhythm strength declined further with AD progression, while regularity and phase timing remained preserved until dementia. Findings were independent of sleep duration and OSA. DISCUSSION Adults with DS showed early RAR disturbance that progressed across the AD continuum, paralleling sporadic AD. Circadian RAR features may be scalable biomarkers of AD progression.
