    Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors have significantly transformed the treatment paradigm for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC), offering prolonged overall survival and achieving remarkable deep and durable responses. However, given the multiple ICI-containing, standard-of-care regimens approved for RCC, identifying biomarkers that predict therapeutic response and resistance is of critical importance. Although tumor-intrinsic features such as pathological characteristics, genomic alterations, and transcriptional signatures have been extensively investigated, they have yet to provide definitive, robust predictive biomarkers. Current research is exploring host factors through in-depth characterization of the immune system. Additionally, innovative technological approaches are being developed to overcome challenges presented by existing techniques, such as tumor heterogeneity. Promising avenues in biomarker discovery include the study of the microbiome, radiomics, and spatial transcriptomics.

    Abstract Longitudinal clinical trials are often designed to compare treatments on the basis of multiple outcomes. For example in the case of cardiac trials, the outcomes of interest include mortality as well as cardiac events and hospitalization. For a COVID-19 trial, the outcomes of interest include mortality, time on ventilator, and time in hospital. Earlier work by these authors proposed a non-parametric test based on a composite of multiple endpoints referred to as the Finkelstein-Schoenfeld (FS) test (Finkelstein and Schoenfeld. Stat Med. 1999;18(11):1341-1354.). More recently, an estimate of the treatment comparison based on multiple endpoints (related to the FS test) was proposed (Pocock et al. Eur Heart J. 2011;33(2):176-182.). This estimate, which summarized the ratio of the number of patients who fared better vs worse on the experimental arm was coined the win ratio. The aim of this article is to provide guidance in the design of a trial that will use the FS test or the win ratio. The issues that will be considered are the sample size, sequential monitoring, and adaptive designs.

    Abstract Objective: It is not clear whether video laryngoscopy (VL) is associated with a higher first-pass success rate in pediatric patients with limited neck mobility when compared with direct laryngoscopy (DL). We sought to determine the association between the laryngoscopy method and first-pass success.
    Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we examined intubation data extracted from 2 prospectively collected, multicenter, airway management safety databases (National Emergency Airway Registry and the National Emergency Airway Registry for children), obtained during the years 2013-2018 in the emergency department. Intubations were included if patients were aged younger than 18 and had limited neck mobility. We compared first-pass success rates for ED intubations that were performed using VL versus DL. We built a structural causal model to account for potential confounders such as age, disease category (medical or trauma condition), other difficult airway characteristics, use of sedatives/paralytics, and laryngoscopist training level. We also analyzed adverse events as a secondary outcome.
    Results: Of 34,239 intubations (19,071 in the National Emergency Airway Registry and 15,168 in the National Emergency Airway Registry for children), a total of 341 intubations (1.0%) met inclusion criteria; 168 were performed via VL and 173 were performed via DL. The median age of patients was 124 months (interquartile range, 48-204). There was no difference in first-pass success between VL and DL (79.8% vs 75.7%, P = 0.44). Video laryngoscopy was not associated with higher first-pass success (odds ratio, 1.11; 95% confidence interval 0.84-1.47, with DL as a comparator) when a structural causal model was used to account for confounders. There was no difference in the adverse events between VL and DL groups (13.7% vs 8.7%, P = 0.19).
    Conclusion: In children with limited neck mobility receiving tracheal intubation in the ED, neither VL nor DL was associated with a higher first-pass success rate.

    Abstract Background: Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare melanoma subtype characterized by dense fibrous stroma, a propensity for local recurrence, and a high response rate to programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blockade. Occult sentinel lymph node positivity is significantly lower in both pure and mixed DM than in conventional melanoma, underscoring the need for better prognostic biomarkers to inform therapeutic strategies.
    Methods: We assembled a tissue microarray comprising various cores of tumor, stroma, and lymphoid aggregates from 45 patients with histologically confirmed DM diagnosed between 1989 and 2018. Using a panel of 62 validated immune-oncology markers, we performed digital spatial profiling using the NanoString GeoMx platform and quantified expression in three tissue compartments defined by fluorescence colocalization (tumor (S100+/PMEL+/SYTO+), leukocytes (CD45+/SYTO+), and non-immune stroma (S100-/PMEL-/CD45-/SYTO+)).
    Results: We observed higher expression of immune checkpoints (lymphocyte-activation gene 3 [LAG-3] and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein-4 [CTLA-4]) and cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) markers (smooth muscle actin (SMA)) in the tumor compartments of pure DMs than mixed DMs. When comparing lymphoid aggregates (LA) to non-LA tumor cores, LAs were more enriched with CD20+B cells, but non-LA intratumoral leukocytes were more enriched with macrophage/monocytic markers (CD163, CD68, CD14) and had higher LAG-3 and CTLA-4 expression levels. Higher intratumoral PD-1 and LA-based LAG-3 expression appear to be associated with worse survival.
    Conclusions: Our proteomic analysis reveals an intra-tumoral population of SMA+CAFs enriched in pure DM. Additionally, increased expressions of immune checkpoints (LAG-3 and PD-1) in LA and within tumor were associated with poorer prognosis. These findings might have therapeutic implications and help guide treatment selection in addition to informing potential prognostic significance.

    Abstract Background: Based on convincing evidence for outcomes improvement in the military setting, the past decade has seen evaluation of prehospital transfusion (PHT) in the civilian emergency medical services (EMS) setting. Evidence synthesis has been challenging, due to study design variation with respect to both exposure (type of blood product administered) and outcome (endpoint definitions and timing). The goal of the current meta-analysis was to execute an overarching assessment of all civilian-arena randomized controlled trial (RCT) evidence focusing on administration of blood products compared to control of no blood products.
    Method: The review structure followed the Cochrane group's Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Using the Transfusion Evidence Library (transfusionevidencelibrary.com), the multidatabase (e.g. PubMed, EMBASE) Harvard On-Line Library Information System (HOLLIS), and GoogleScholar, we accessed many databases and gray literature sources. RCTs of PHT in the civilian setting with a comparison group receiving no blood products with 1-month mortality outcomes were identified.
    Results: In assessing a single patient-centered endpoint-1-month mortality-we calculated an overall risk ratio (RR) estimate. Analysis of three RCTs yielded a model with acceptable heterogeneity (I
    Conclusions: Current evidence does not demonstrate 1-month mortality benefit of civilian-setting PHT. This should give pause to EMS systems considering adoption of civilian-setting PHT programs. Further studies should not only focus on which formulations of blood products might improve outcomes but also focus on which patients are most likely to benefit from any form of civilian-setting PHT.
