    Abstract Despite the dramatic improvement in both overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic melanoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, up to 60% will develop treatment resistance and 50% will die from their disease. Therefore, although dacarbazine is no longer a mainstay of modern melanoma management, we examined the extent to, and in which context, it may still play a role. A retrospective analysis of electronic medical records of patients who had received dacarbazine treatment between October 2014 and October 2021, following innate or acquired resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors, was performed to determine PFS and OS and examine tolerability. Nine patients with locally advanced ( n  = 1) or metastatic melanoma ( n  = 8) were identified (average age: 74 years, 4 males and 5 females). The number of cycles of dacarbazine ranged from 2 to 45 (mean = 12). One-third of patients developed a complete ( n  = 2) or partial ( n  = 1) response, two-thirds did not respond to treatment. The median PFS time was 90 days. Common adverse events included blood dyscrasias; one patient developed a grade 3 hepatitis, although it was unclear if this was due to the chemotherapy or the preceding combined immunotherapy. Dacarbazine may still be a valid option in the setting of treatment for refractory, relapsed, or progressive disease. Future studies should focus on the immunomodulatory effects of dacarbazine on the tumor microenvironment, which could be harnessed to potentially restore sensitivity to immune checkpoint-based therapy.

    Abstract The two-region model for analyzing signal attenuation in pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR diffusion studies with molecules in compartmented media implies that, on their trajectory, molecules get from one region (one type of compartment) into the other one with a constant (i.e. a time-invariant) probability. This pattern has proved to serve as a good approach for considering guest diffusion in beds of nanoporous host materials, with the two regions ("compartments") identified as the intra- and intercrystalline pore spaces. It is obvious, however, that the requirements of the application of the two-region model are not strictly fulfilled given the correlation between the covered diffusion path lengths in the intracrystalline pore space and the probability of molecular "escape" from the individual crystallites. On considering water diffusion in lithium-exchanged low-silica X zeolite, we are now assuming a different position since this type of material is known to offer "traps" in the trajectories of the water molecules. Now, on attributing the water molecules in the traps and outside of the traps to these two types of regions, we perfectly comply with the requirements of the two-region model. We do, moreover, benefit from the option of high-resolution measurements owing to the combination of magic angle spinning (MAS) with PFG NMR. Data analysis via the two-region model under inclusion of the influence of nuclear magnetic relaxation yields satisfactory agreement between experimental evidence and theoretical estimates. Limitations in accuracy are shown to result from the fact that mass transfer outside of the traps is too complicated for being adequately reflected by simple Fick's laws with but one diffusivity.

    Abstract Combined immunotherapy is associated with a significant risk of severe and potentially fatal immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Therefore, we retrospectively analyzed the side profile and efficacy of low-dose ipilimumab (1 mg/kg, IPI1) combined with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in patients who progressed after anti-PD-1 monotherapy. Nine patients with unresectable stage III or IV melanoma treated with combined low-dose ipilimumab (1 mg/kg, IPI1) and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, following progression after anti-PD-1 treatment, were identified. Treatment response and irAEs were recorded. Grade 3 irAEs occurred in one-third of patients. Interestingly, there were no grade 4 or 5 irAEs. In fact, four out of the nine patients experienced no irAEs at all. One patient discontinued combined immunotherapy due to immune-related colitis. The mean time to the onset of grade 3 irAEs was 14.3 weeks. The objective response rate was 33.3% and a disease control rate of 66.7% was achieved. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.7 months and median overall survival (OS) was 21.6 months. The median PFS when IPI1 and anti-PD-1 treatment was administered in the second-line setting was not reached, but only 2.8 months when used in subsequent treatment settings. Combined IPI1 and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy was well tolerated. Its use in the third-line or above setting was associated with a significantly poorer prognosis than in the second-line setting. Larger, prospective studies are required to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this dosing regimen following anti-PD-1 treatment failure.

    Abstract Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a severe autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. As autoantibodies play an essential role in the disease pathogenesis, the serological detection of anti-desmoglein 3 IgG represents a central tool in the diagnosis of the disease. In this study, we show the validation of a novel lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) which rapidly detects anti-desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) IgG in human serum. In contrast to other diagnostic procedures, the assay is compact and simple to perform and delivers a fast "yes" or "no" answer within 10 minutes without additional hardware requirements for test evaluation. For validation, a blinded collection of 200 sera including 100 sera from 14 PV patients, 75 sera from 24 bullous pemphigoid patients and 25 sera from 6 patients with pemphigus foliaceus collected at different time points during disease was used. Presence or non-presence of anti-Dsg3 IgG within sera was confirmed using a commercially available Dsg3-ELISA. For qualitative evaluation, Dsg3-LFIA test results were assessed by two independent groups of human observers. Furthermore, quantitative evaluation using POCScan reader was applied. The Dsg3-LFIA demonstrated reliable test results with a sensitivity and specificity of 78.1% and 97.1%, respectively. Test results from POCScan and human observers showed a substantial agreement. The Dsg3-LFIA represents a new diagnostic tool for the immediate and reliable detection of anti-desmoglein 3 serum IgG autoantibodies that does not require additional hardware. Further prospective trials are warranted to validate the Dsg3 LFIA in pemphigus.

    Abstract Das Ziel dieser S1-Leitlinie ist es, aktuelles Wissen über dermatologisch relevante Krankheitsbilder bei lokal begrenzter dermaler Lymphostase an allen Lokalisationen des Hautorgans zu vermitteln, um diese frühzeitig zu erkennen, diagnostisch zu sichern und gezielt zu behandeln. Wann immer möglich, sollte diese Therapie anhand klar definierter Algorithmen stadiengerecht erfolgen. Die im klinischen Alltag häufig auftauchenden differenzialdiagnostischen und therapeutischen Fragen lassen eine aktuelle Leitlinie notwendig erscheinen. Diese Leitlinie fokussiert auf Patienten jeglichen Alters und Geschlechts mit Hautveränderungen, die im kausalen Zusammenhang mit dermaler Lymphostase stehen. In konkreten Handlungsempfehlungen werden die Diagnostik und Differenzialdiagnostik der verschiedenen Manifestationsformen bei gleichzeitig auftretender dermatologischer Komorbidität wie beispielsweise atopische Dermatitis, Psoriasis vulgaris, Acne inversa, Urtikaria, Kontaktekzeme sowie ihre Therapien unter Berücksichtigung besonderer Risiken veranschaulicht. Für die Abgrenzung und Behandlung häufiger therapierelevanter Kofaktoren und Komorbidität wird auf mehrere andere hierfür relevante aktuelle Leitlinien verwiesen.
