    Abstract Introduction: Since FDA approval for contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), clinical applications have increased to include diagnostic imaging of hepatic, renal, and other abdominal lesions. The modality has also demonstrated utility in certain image-guided procedures. Intravascular ultrasound contrast agents use microbubbles to improve visibility of solid tumors. Lesions not well seen on grayscale or Doppler ultrasound may become amenable to CEUS-guided biopsy or ablation.
    Materials and methods: This pictorial essay provides eleven examples to illustrate the current use of CEUS in a variety of abdominal image-guided procedures. Hepatic, renal, peritoneal, and soft tissue cases are presented.
    Conclusion: CEUS can improve visualization and targeting in abdominal image-guided procedures, without nephrotoxicity or radiation exposure.

    Abstract In proteomics, fast, efficient, and highly reproducible sample preparation is of utmost importance, particularly in view of fast scanning mass spectrometers enabling analyses of large sample series. To address this need, we have developed the web application MassSpecPreppy that operates on the open science OT-2 liquid handling robot from Opentrons. This platform can prepare up to 96 samples at once, performing tasks like BCA protein concentration determination, sample digestion with normalization, reduction/alkylation and peptide elution into vials or loading specified peptide amounts onto Evotips in an automated and flexible manner. The performance of the developed workflows using MassSpecPreppy was compared with standard manual sample preparation workflows. The BCA assay experiments revealed an average recovery of 101.3% (SD: ± 7.82%) for the MassSpecPreppy workflow, while the manual workflow had a recovery of 96.3% (SD: ± 9.73%). The species mix used in the evaluation experiments showed that 94.5% of protein groups for OT-2 digestion and 95% for manual digestion passed the significance thresholds with comparable peptide level coefficient of variations. These results demonstrate that MassSpecPreppy is a versatile and scalable platform for automated sample preparation, producing injection-ready samples for proteomics research.

    Abstract Background and objectives: REC-2282 is a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor that has shown antitumor activity in in vitro and in vivo models of malignancy.  The aims of this study were to characterize the population pharmacokinetics of REC-2282 (AR-42) from the first-in-human (NCT01129193) and phase I acute myeloid leukemia trials (NCT01798901) and to evaluate potential sources of variability. Additionally, we sought to understand alternate body size descriptors as sources of inter-individual variability (IIV), which was significant for dose-normalized maximum observed concentration and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC).
    Methods: Datasets from two clinical trials were combined, and population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using NONMEM and R softwares; patient demographics were tested as covariates.
    Results: A successful population pharmacokinetic model was constructed. The pharmacokinetics of REC-2282 were best described by a two-compartment model with one transit compartment for absorption, first-order elimination and a proportional error model. Fat-free mass (FFM) was retained as a single covariate on clearance (CL), though it explained < 3% of the observed variability on CL. Tumor type and formulation were retained as covariates on lag time, and a majority of variability, attributed to absorption, remained unexplained. Computed tomography (CT)-derived lean body weight estimates were lower than estimated lean body weight and fat-free mass measures in most patients. Analysis of dose-normalized AUC vs. body size descriptors suggests flat dosing is most appropriate for REC-2282.
    Conclusions: FFM was identified as a significant covariate on CL; however, it explained only a very small portion of the IIV; major factors contributing significantly to REC-2282 pharmacokinetic variability remain unidentified.

    Abstract Cholangiocarcinoma is a highly aggressive and lethal malignancy, with limited treatment options available. Recently, FGFR inhibitors have been developed and utilized in FGFR-mutant cholangiocarcinoma; however, resistance often develops and the genomic determinants of resistance are not fully characterized. We completed whole-exome sequencing (WES) of 11 unique tumor samples obtained from a rapid research autopsy on a patient with FGFR-fusion-positive cholangiocarcinoma who initially responded to the pan-FGFR inhibitor, INCB054828. In vitro studies were carried out to characterize the novel FGFR alteration and secondary

    Abstract Background: Current guidelines for the management of indeterminate nodules discovered on surveillance imaging recommend alternate imaging modality or biopsy. This study evaluates the use of short interval MRI rather than immediate CT or biopsy.
    Method: This retrospective cohort study examines outcomes of 111 patients with indeterminate nodules reviewed by a single institution's Liver Tumor Board 2011-2016. Analysis was focused on outcomes stratified by management decision.
    Results: The tumor board recommended biopsy or immediate repeat CT imaging in 13 (12%), 3-month interval MRI in 64 (58%) and 6-month interval MRI for 34 (30%) patients. Twenty-eight (29%) patients in the interval MRI subgroups were diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) during the period of follow-up, and 21 (75%) of these were located within the original indeterminate nodule. The median time to diagnosis was 6.5 months. Twenty-three (82%) were eligible for potentially curative therapy at the time of HCC diagnosis. Delay in HCC diagnosis was not the reason for inability to provide potentially curative therapy in any patient.
    Conclusion: This study supports the judicious use of interval MRI at 3 or 6 months in patients with liver cirrhosis and an indeterminate liver nodule rather than immediate CT scan or biopsy.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Liver transplant is an important treatment option for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within Milan criteria. We sought to determine the rate of complete tumor necrosis after bridging therapy.
    Methods: The medical records of all 178 patients undergoing liver transplantation between January 1, 2008 and July 31, 2015 were reviewed. Response to therapy by imaging was based on mRECIST criteria (1).
    Results: Sixty-three (35%) patients had HCC. Forty-three (68%) were treated with at least one bridging therapy and 14 (22%) were diagnosed incidentally. Eighteen (42%) underwent TACE and 25 (58%) underwent ablation. Twenty (80%) patients who underwent ablation and nine (60%) who underwent TACE had complete response based on imaging. Viable tumor was identified in explant pathology in 32 patients (74%). The presence or absence of viable tumor was not associated with overall survival.
    Conclusion: Rates of viable tumor based on pathologic analysis in the hepatic explant were high after bridging therapy, but not associated with worse outcome. We conclude that serial bridging to achieve complete pathologic tumor response is not needed prior to transplant for HCC, and presence of complete response by imaging is adequate. Further studies are needed to determine if cancer cells that appear viable are alive.

    Abstract Multiplex somatic testing has emerged as a strategy to test patients with advanced cancer. We demonstrate our analytic validation approach for a gene hotspot panel and real-time prospective clinical application for any cancer type. The TruSight Tumor 26 assay amplifies 85 somatic hotspot regions across 26 genes. Using cell line and tumor mixes, we observed that 100% of the 14,715 targeted bases had at least 1000x raw coverage. We determined the sensitivity (100%, 95% CI: 96-100%), positive predictive value (100%, 95% CI: 96-100%), reproducibility (100% concordance), and limit of detection (3% variant allele frequency at 1000x read depth) of this assay to detect single nucleotide variants and small insertions and deletions. Next, we applied the assay prospectively in a clinical tumor sequencing study to evaluate 174 patients with metastatic or advanced cancer, including frozen tumors, formalin-fixed tumors, and enriched peripheral blood mononuclear cells in hematologic cancers. We reported one or more somatic mutations in 89 (53%) of the sequenced tumors (167 passing quality filters). Forty-three of these patients (26%) had mutations that would enable eligibility for targeted therapies. This study demonstrates the validity and feasibility of applying TruSight Tumor 26 for pan-cancer testing using multiple specimen types.

    Abstract Purpose: To determine whether exposures to pulsed high-intensity focused ultrasound can enhance local delivery and expression of a reporter gene, administered with systemic injection of naked DNA, in tumors in mice.
    Materials and methods: The study was performed according to an approved animal protocol and in compliance with guidelines of the institutional animal care and use committee. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC7) tumors were induced subcutaneously in both flanks of female C3H mice (n = 3) and allowed to grow to average size of 0.4 cm(3). In each mouse, one tumor was exposed to pulsed high-intensity focused ultrasound while a second tumor served as a control. Immediately after ultrasound exposure, a solution containing a cytomegalovirus-green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter gene construct was injected intravenously via the tail vein. The mouse was sacrificed 24 hours later. Tissue specimens were viewed with fluorescence microscopy to determine the presence of GFP expression, and Western blot analysis was performed, at which signal intensities of expressed GFP were quantitated. A paired Student t test was used to compare mean values in controls with those in treated tumors. Histologic analyses were performed with specific techniques (hematoxylin-eosin staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling) to determine whether tumor cells had been damaged by ultrasound exposure.
    Results: GFP expression was present in all sections of tumors that received ultrasound exposure but not in control tumors. Results of signal intensity measurement at Western blot analysis showed expressed GFP to be nine times greater in ultrasound-exposed tumors (160.2 +/- 24.5 [standard deviation]) than in controls (17.4 +/- 11.8) (P = .004, paired Student t test). Comparison of histologic sections from treated tumors with those from controls revealed no destructive effects from ultrasound exposure.
    Conclusion: Local exposure to pulsed high-intensity focused ultrasound in tumors can enhance the delivery and expression of systemically injected naked DNA.

    Abstract A major limitation of exogenous vitamin D3 administration for the treatment of prostate cancer is the marginal, if any, clinical efficacy. We dissected the basis for the resistance to the vitamin D3 antitumor properties and specifically examined the effect of its major catabolic enzyme, CYP24A1, in prostate cancer. Local CYP24A1 expression levels and the effect of selective modulation were analyzed using tissue microarrays from needle core biopsy specimens and xenograft-bearing mouse models. CYP24A1 mRNA was elevated in malignant human prostate tissues compared to benign lesions. High CYP24A1 protein levels were seen in poorly differentiated and highly advanced stages of prostate cancer and correlated with parallel increase in the tumor proliferation rate. The use of CYP24A1 RNAi enhanced the cytostatic effects of vitamin D3 in human prostate cancer cells. Remarkably, subcutaneous and orthotopic xenografts of prostate cancer cells harboring CYP24A1 shRNA resulted in a drastic reduction in tumor volume when mice were subjected to vitamin D3 supplementation. CYP24A1 may be a predictive marker of vitamin D3 clinical efficacy in patients with advanced prostate cancer. For those with up-regulated CYP24A1, combination therapy with RNAi targeting CYP24A1 could be considered to improve clinical responsiveness to vitamin D3.
