    Abstract Introduction: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a frequent and burdensome sequela of cancer and cancer therapies. It can persist from months to years and has a substantial impact on patients' quality of life and functioning. CRF is often still not adequately diagnosed and insufficiently treated. According to guideline recommendations, patients should be routinely screened for CRF from cancer diagnosis onwards. We will investigate how an effective screening should be designed regarding timing, frequency, screening type and cut-off points.
    Methods and analysis: MERLIN is a longitudinal observational study that will include 300 patients with cancer at the beginning of cancer therapy. The main study centre is the National Center for Tumour Diseases Heidelberg, Germany. Patients answer five items to shortly screen for CRF at high frequency during their therapy and at lower frequency during the post-treatment phase for 18 months. Further, CRF is assessed at wider intervals based on the Cella criteria, the Brief Fatigue Inventory impact scale, the quality of life fatigue questionnaire (QLQ-FA12) and the fatigue and cognitive items of the quality of life core questionnaire (QLQ-C30), both of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer. Important psychological, socio-demographical or medical factors, which may exacerbate CRF are assessed. All assessments are performed online. Receiver operating curves, areas under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and likelihood ratios will be calculated to determine optimal short screening modalities.
    Ethics and dissemination: The study was approved by the ethics committee of the Medical Faculty of the Heidelberg University, Germany (approval number: S-336/2022). Written informed consent is obtained from all participants. The study is conducted in full conformance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Results will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, presented at conferences and communicated to clinical stakeholders to foster the implementation of an effective CRF management.

    Abstract Background: The combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin (gem/cis) with the anti-PD-L1-antibody durvalumab was recently approved as first line therapy for biliary tract cancer (BTC) based on the results of the TOPAZ-1 trial.
    Objective: We aim to analyse the feasibility and efficacy of the triple combination therapy in patients with BTC in a real-world setting and in correspondence with the genetic alterations of the cancer.
    Methods: In this single-centre retrospective analysis, all patients with BTC and treated with durvalumab plus gem/cis from April 2022 to September 2023 were included. Survival and treatment response were investigated, within the context of the inclusion and exclusion criteria of TOPAZ-1 and in correspondence with genetic alterations of the cancer.
    Results: In total, 35 patients, of which 51% met the inclusion criteria of the TOPAZ-1 trial, were analysed. Patients treated within TOPAZ-1 criteria did not have a significantly different median overall survival and progression free survival than the rest of the patients (10.3 versus 9.7 months and 5.3 versus 5 months, respectively). The disease control rate of patients within the TOPAZ-1 criteria was 61.1%, in comparison to 58.8% in the rest of patients. A total of 51 grade 3 and 4 adverse events were observed without significant differences in the subgroups. No specific correlating patterns of genetic alterations with survival and response were observed.
    Conclusions: The treatment of advanced patients with BTC with durvalumab and gem/cis, even beyond the inclusion criteria of the TOPAZ-1 trial, shows promising safety.

    Abstract Objectives: Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas (pACC) forms a rare subgroup of pancreatic tumors. We report on our institutional experience with systemic first- and further-line therapy in patients with metastatic pACC and embed our findings in a review of the literature.
    Methods: Patients with stage IV pACC who started systemic treatment between 2008 and 2019 at our institution were identified via our institutional database. Clinical data were extracted from the patients' electronic data records. Survival times were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method.
    Results: Six patients received a fluoropyrimidine- and oxaliplatin-containing first-line treatment, and 4 patients were started on gemcitabine-based protocols. Median progression-free survival was 4.8 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 3.3 to not available (n.a.)], and median overall survival was 15.3 months (95% CI, 10.1 to n.a.). Residual survival for second-line treatment was 2.1 months (95% CI, 1.3 to n.a.), although 1 patient experienced almost complete remission under targeted therapy.
    Conclusions: The most encouraging and deep responses result from poly-chemotherapy with leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX), which seems to be the appropriate choice in fit patients. Gemcitabine monotherapy seems without substantial activity in pACC. Whenever possible, patients with pACC should be screened for targetable mutations.

    Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal disease with limited treatment options. Recently, the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) olaparib has been approved for maintenance therapy after successful platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2. Approval was based on the POLO study that has shown a significant improvement in progression-free survival for patients with metastatic PDAC after at least 4 months of platinum-based chemotherapy. Hopefully, this first biomarker-directed targeted therapy for a relevant subgroup of pancreatic cancer patients is only the beginning of an era of personalized therapy for pancreatic cancer. The potential role for PARPi in improving survival in patients with pancreatic cancer containing somatic tumor mutations has yet to be established. Multiple studies investigating whether PARPi therapy might benefit a larger group of pancreatic cancer patients with homologous recombination repair deficiency and whether combinations with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or small molecules can improve efficacy are currently underway. We here review the molecular basis for PARPi therapy in PDAC patients and recent developments in clinical studies.

    Abstract Objective: Esophagogastric cancer occurs more frequently in older patients, but these are underrepresented in clinical studies establishing the current treatment standards for perioperative chemotherapy in locally advanced disease. This leads to uncertainty regarding the treatment of older patients with potentially toxic but active regimens.
    Methods: Using a prospectively generated database, we analyzed 63 patients aged ≥70 years undergoing perioperative chemotherapy for locally advanced esophagogastric cancer. The information included Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, comorbidity index, body mass index, regimen of chemotherapy, toxicity, dosage adjustments, date of surgery, application of adjuvant treatment, date of progression, and date of death. Survival times were calculated.
    Results: The median age was 73 years. 96.8% of the patients received an oxaliplatin-containing regimen. In 17.5% of the patients, the dosage was reduced, and treatment was previously permanently stopped in 7.9%; 80% of the patients underwent curatively intended surgery, but only 27.5% of those undergoing resection started adjuvant treatment. Major histological regression was observed in 21.6% of the patients. The median survival was 19.1 months. Significantly improved survival times were observed for patients undergoing surgery (p = 0.008) and for patients with a triplet therapy (p = 0.004). Survival was worse for patients aged ≥75 years.
    Conclusion: perioperative treatment is feasible and effective in elderly patients with esophagogastric cancer.

    Abstract Background: Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) with thrombocytopenia and organ failure caused by tumor-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a life-threatening oncological emergency. Rapid diagnosis and precise distinction from other forms of TMA is crucial for appropriate therapy, which aims at treating the underlying malignancy. However, the prognosis of patients with cancer-related (CR)-MAHA is limited. To date, less than 50 patients with gastric cancer and CR-MAHA have been reported, mainly as single case reports, and detailed information on treatment strategies and outcome are scarce. We analyzed the characteristics and outcomes data of CR-MAHA patients with gastric cancer treated at our center between 2012 and 2019.
    Aim: To gain knowledge about CR-MAHA and the course of disease.
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients using an institutional prospectively maintained database. Patients who had CR-MAHA but other cancer types or cancer of unknown primary were excluded. The basic requirements for inclusion were: Histologically proven gastric adenocarcinoma; and clinical diagnosis of hemolytic anemia with schistocytes with or without thrombocytopenia. The observation period for each patient started with the first day of documented symptoms. The follow-up period for this analysis ended on February 1, 2020.
    Results: We identified eight patients with a median age of 54 years. Histologically, all patients had (partial) diffuse subtypes of gastric adenocarcinoma with partial or complete signet cell morphology. All patients had metastatic disease and one patient had a microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumor. In three patients, clinical signs of MAHA preceded the diagnosis of cancer, and in two patients, CR-MAHA indicated recurrent disease. All patients had severe hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. Six patients experienced severe bone pain, and five patients had dyspnea. Systemic, 5-fluorouracil-based combination chemotherapy was initiated in six patients, which resulted in rapid initial response with significant improvement of clinical symptoms and blood values. Progression-free survival (PFS) of the whole cohort was 1.9 wk and median overall survival (OS) was 1.9 wk. For patients with chemotherapy, PFS was 9.0 wk and OS was 10.3 wk. The patient with the MSI-H tumor has been undergoing immunotherapy for more than 3 years.
    Conclusion: The benefit of chemotherapy in CR-MAHA patients is limited. Immunotherapy for patients with MSI-H tumors may lead to long-term tumor control even in CR-MAHA patients.

    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major complication in patients with cancer, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Only two cases of kidney lymphangitic carcinomatosis associated with AKI have been reported, in gastric and colorectal adenocarcinoma. Here, we report on a 53-year-old man with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who developed AKI as a result of kidney lymphangitic carcinomatosis. The patient rapidly became anuric and required haemodialysis. Kidney lymphangitic carcinomatosis should be considered as a cause of AKI in patients with cancer and may become a more frequent clinical finding as patients with metastatic carcinoma survive for longer.
