    Abstract Double mutant heat-labile toxin (dmLT) is a novel vaccine adjuvant under development with several different vaccine candidates. Studies using existing dmLT adjuvant stocks require significant dilution to achieve a clinically relevant dose. This dilution leads to wastage of the adjuvant. This manuscript describes a limited formulation study to improve the stability of bulk dmLT at a more clinically relevant concentration (20 µg/mL) with minimal changes to the existing bulk dmLT formulation. In vitro methods were used to evaluate dmLT stability after lyophilization and short-term accelerated stability studies. The addition of the excipient polysorbate 80 (PS80) at 0.05 % to the existing dmLT formulation was identified as the lead modification that provided improved stability of the lyophilized dmLT at 20 µg/mL through 4 weeks at 40 °C.

    Abstract Background: Outcomes for children with high-risk renal (HRR) and INI-1-deficient (INI-) tumors are unacceptably poor. Concerns about excessive toxicity-as many are infants and/or undergo nephrectomy-have resulted in decreased chemotherapy dosing and omission of the nephrotoxic drug ifosfamide in collaborative group studies. As cause of death for children with these cancers remains overwhelmingly more from progressive disease rather than treatment toxicity, we examined the tolerability of an intensive ifosfamide-containing regimen.
    Procedure: Retrospective review of children with HRR/INI- tumors treated at a single institution with vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide alternating with ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide (VDC-ICE) from 2006-2016. The primary outcome was regimen tolerability, including kidney injury and grade 3-5 nonhematologic toxicities.
    Results: Fourteen patients with a median age of 1.7 years (range: 0.1-10.5) treated with VDC-ICE were identified. Diagnosis included malignant rhabdoid tumor (n = 9) (primary renal [n = 2]); diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumor (n = 3); clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (n = 1); and anaplastic chordoma (n = 1). All children with primary renal tumors (43%) underwent complete (n = 5) or partial nephrectomy (n = 1) before chemotherapy. Nine (64%) completed all intended cycles of chemotherapy; n = 5 (36%) did not due to disease progression. Unplanned hospitalizations occurred in 13 (93%) patients, most commonly for febrile neutropenia. No patient experienced severe organ toxicity, diminished renal function, treatment discontinuation due to toxicities, or treatment-related death.
    Conclusions: In children with HRR/INI- tumors, VDC-ICE chemotherapy was well-tolerated without excessive toxicities, even amongst young patients with solitary kidneys. Concerns about toxicity should not preclude an intensive ifosfamide-containing regimen from use in future trials in this population.

    Abstract Background: Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) are persistent organic pollutants with potential endocrine-disrupting effects linked to adverse health outcomes.
    Objectives: In this study, we utilize high-resolution metabolomics (HRM) to identify internal exposure and biological responses underlying PCB and multigenerational PBB exposure for participants enrolled in the Michigan PBB Registry.
    Methods: HRM profiling was conducted on plasma samples collected from 2013 to 2014 from a subset of participants enrolled in the Michigan PBB Registry, including 369 directly exposed individuals (F0) who were alive when PBB mixtures were accidentally introduced into the food chain and 129 participants exposed to PBB
    Results: Mean levels were
    Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that serum PBB-153 is associated with alterations in inflammation and oxidative stress-related pathways, which differed when stratified by generation. We also found that

    Abstract Introduction: The purpose of this study is to examine the outcomes in children with anaplastic bilateral Wilms tumor (BWT) from study AREN0534 in order to define potential prognostic factors and areas to target in future clinical trials.
    Methods: Demographic and clinical data from AREN0534 study patients with anaplasia (focal anaplasia [FA], or diffuse anaplasia [DA]) were compared. Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were reported using Kaplan-Meier estimation with 95% confidence bands, and differences in outcomes between FA and DA compared using log-rank tests. The impact of margin status was analyzed.
    Results: Twenty-seven children who enrolled on AREN0534 had evidence of anaplasia (17 DA, 10 FA) in at least one kidney and were included in this analysis. Twenty-six (96%) had BWT. Nineteen percent had anaplastic histology in both kidneys (four of 17 DA, and one of 10 FA). Forty-six percent with BWT had bilateral nephron-sparing surgery (NSS); one child who went off protocol therapy, eventually required bilateral completion nephrectomies. Median follow-up for EFS and OS was 8.6 and 8.7 years from enrollment. Four- and 8-year EFS was 53% [95% confidence interval (CI): 34%-83%] for DA; 4-year EFS was 80% [95% CI: 59%-100%], and 8-year EFS 70% [95% CI: 47%-100%] for FA. Three out of 10 children with FA and eight out of 17 children with DA had events. EFS did not differ statistically by margin status (p = .79; HR = 0.88). Among the six children who died (five DA, one FA), all experienced prior relapse or progression within 18 months.
    Conclusion: Events in children with DA/FA in the setting of BWT occurred early. Caution should be taken about interpreting the impact of margin status outcomes in the context of contemporary multimodal therapy. Future targeted investigations in children with BWT and DA/FA are needed.

    Abstract Background: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by recurrent pruritic wheals (hives) and/or angioedema. Patients with CSU could remain symptomatic despite standard-of-care H
    Objective: We conducted two phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trials comparing dupilumab with placebo in patients with symptomatic CSU despite H1-AH.
    Methods: In LIBERTY-CSU CUPID Study A, patients were omalizumab-naive (n = 138, aged ≥6 years). In Study B, patients were omalizumab-intolerant/incomplete responders (n = 108, aged ≥12 years). The primary end point was either change from baseline over 7 days in the Urticaria Activity Score (UAS7) or Itch Severity Score (ISS7) at week 24, with the other as a key secondary end point, depending on regional regulatory requirements. Studies were pooled for safety assessment.
    Results: In Study A, UAS7 and ISS7 improved with dupilumab versus placebo (difference -8.5 [95% CI, -13.2 to -3.9; P = .0003] and -4.2 [95% CI, -6.6 to -1.8; P = .0005]). In Study B, tested at α = 0.043 after interim analysis, UAS7 improved (difference -5.8 [95% CI, -11.4 to -0.3; P = .0390]), with a numerical trend in ISS7 (difference -2.9 [95% CI, -5.7 to -0.07; nominal P = .0449, not significant]). Pooled safety data were consistent between dupilumab and placebo and with the known dupilumab safety profile.
    Conclusions: Dupilumab reduced urticaria activity by reducing itch and hives severity in omalizumab-naive patients with CSU uncontrolled with H1-AH. Although the primary end point for Study B was not met, dupilumab effects were small in patients who were omalizumab-intolerant/incomplete responders.

    Abstract Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common chronic liver disease in children in the United States and encompasses a range of disease from steatosis to cirrhosis. The mainstay of treatment is lifestyle modifications like increased physical activity and healthier eating habits. These are sometimes augmented with medications or surgery for weight loss. We present a patient with biopsy-proven nonalcoholic steatohepatitis-related cirrhosis that did not improve with suboptimal lifestyle changes. This patient's disease progression reversed after liraglutide treatment, as evidenced by improved imaging and laboratory results, despite no significant improvement in her body mass index percentile. This case demonstrates the importance of considering liraglutide for patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and suggests a hepatic effect independent of effects related to weight loss.
