    Abstract Background: Immunosuppression including high-dose calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) is essential after lung transplantation. Dosing is usually guided by therapeutic drug monitoring adjusted to target trough levels of CNIs to keep the balance between over-dose causing severe toxicity and increased risk of infections or under-dose with a risk of graft injury. Adaptation of CNI-based immunosuppression by monitoring of torque teno virus (TTV), a latent nonpathogenic DNA virus, measured in the whole blood in addition to conventional therapeutic drug monitoring may reduce the toxicity of immunosuppression with similar efficacy.
    Methods/design: An open-label, randomized, controlled, parallel-group, multicenter trial in lung transplant recipients will be conducted to investigate the safety and efficacy of immunosuppression guided by TTV monitoring as an add-on to conventional therapeutic drug monitoring. Adult lung transplant recipients 21 to 42 days after transplantation are eligible to participate. Patients (N = 144) will be randomized 1:1 to the experimental intervention (arm 1: immunosuppression guided by TTV monitoring in addition to conventional therapeutic drug monitoring of tacrolimus trough levels) and control intervention (arm 2: conventional therapeutic drug monitoring). Outcomes will be assessed 12 months after randomization with the change in glomerular filtration rate as the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints will be additional measurements of renal function, allograft function, incidence of acute rejections, incidence of chronic lung allograft dysfunction, graft loss, and infections.
    Discussion: The results of this randomized controlled trial may reduce the toxicity of immunosuppression after lung transplantation while maintaining the efficacy of immunosuppression. Study results are transferable to all other solid organ transplantations.

    Abstract Background: Phase III trial data have shown a significant benefit by the addition of a maintenance treatment with niraparib, irrespective of BRCA or HRD status, in patients with advanced high-grade ovarian cancers; and, a significant benefit of the combination of olaparib and bevacizumab compared with bevacizumab monotherapy in HRD positive patients. However, it is unclear whether a PARP inhibitor monotherapy is sufficient, or if the addition of bevacizumab is needed.
    Primary objectives: This trial will investigate if the treatment strategy of carboplatin/paclitaxel/bevacizumab/niraparib is superior to the treatment of carboplatin/paclitaxel/niraparib in an all-comer population.
    Study hypothesis: Adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy followed by niraparib maintenance improves progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer.
    Trial design: AGO-OVAR 28/ENGOT-ov57 is an international, multicenter, randomized, prospective phase III trial within the the European Network for Gynecological Oncological Trial (ENGOT), led by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Gynäkologische Onkologie (AGO) study group. All patients should have completed the first cycle of chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) as part of the Study Run-In-Period. Prior to day 1 of cycle 2, patients with a valid central tumor BRCA (tBRCA) test result were randomized in a 1:1 ratio into either: Arm 1, to receive five additional cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxel q21d, followed by niraparib for up to 3 years; or Arm 2, to receive five additional cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxel plus bevacizumab q21d, followed by bevacizumab q21d (for up to 1 year), and niraparib for up to 3 years.
    Major inclusion/exclusion criteria: The trial population is composed of adult patients with newly diagnosed, advanced high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer FIGO III/IV (except FIGO IIIA2 without nodal involvement). Patients who are scheduled for neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval debulking surgery are also eligible for the trial.
    Primary endpoint: The primary endpoint is progression-free survival.
    Sample size: The study plans to recruit 970 patients (485 patients in each arm).
    Estimated dates for completing accrual and presenting results: The Last-Patient-In is expected to be enrolled in September 2024, with presentation of the primary endpoint in 2028.

    Abstract Background: A high percentage of epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC) express the estrogen receptor (ER), which is an ideal target for endocrine therapy. Letrozole is a proven, potent aromatase inhibitor, extensively tested and used in the treatment of ER positive breast cancer. In addition, it seems a potent drug for patients with heavily pre-treated OC as demonstrated in several distinctive settings. However, it has never been evaluated prospectively in a maintenance setting for ovarian cancer after standard of care. The here proposed trial aims to define a population of EOC patients, who would benefit from the effectiveness of the generic agent letrozole, with little expected toxicity and thus beneficial impact on overall quality of life (QoL).
    Methods: In this international multicenter randomized, placebo-controlled phase III trial at clinical centers in Switzerland, Germany and Austria, we plan to include 540 patients with primary, newly diagnosed FIGO Stage II to IV and histologically confirmed low- or high-grade serous or endometrioid epithelial ovarian/fallopian tube/peritoneal cancer. Patients are randomized in a 1:1 ratio into two groups: receiving blinded study treatment (letrozole or placebo tablets). When assuming a HR of 0.7, a median PFS of 18 months in the control arm and a median PFS of 25.7 months in the treatment arm, a two-sided alpha level of 5%, 3.5 years recruitment and 1.5 years observation time, we expect 330 events to have occurred within these 5 years in the total cohort yielding a power of 90%. Follow-up data for the whole cohort will be collected for up to 10 years and for the low-grade cancer for up to 12 years.
    Discussion: The here proposed randomized phase III trial aims to identify patients with EOC in the maintenance setting, who benefit from the effectiveness of the letrozole, by proving its efficacy whilst maintaining a high standard of QoL due to the limited toxicity expected in comparison to the current alternative drugs on the market for this treatment phase.
    Trial registration: This trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov under the identifier NCT04111978 . Registered 02 October 2019.

    Abstract Background: Superficial wound infections after gastrointestinal surgery markedly impair the affected patients' quality of life. As it is still unknown which method of skin closure is best for the reduction of wound infections in elective gastrointestinal sur- gery, we compared the frequency of wound infections after intracutaneous suturing versus skin stapling.
    Methods: In a prospective, randomized, single-center study, patients undergoing elective gastrointestinal surgery were intraoperatively randomized to skin closure either with an intracutaneous suture or with staples. The primary endpoint-the occurrence of a grade A1 wound infection within 30 days of surgery-was evaluated according to the intention-to-treat principle.
    Results: Out of a total of 280 patients, 141 were randomized to intracutaneous suturing and 139 to stapling. The groups did not differ significantly with respect to age, sex, or ASA classification. 19 of the 141 patients in the intracutaneous suturing group (13.5%) had a grade A1 wound infection, compared with 23 of 139 in the stapling group (16.6%) (odds ratio [OR]: 0.79; 95% confidence interval: [0.41; 1.52]; p = 0.47). A multiple regression analysis revealed that the type of surgery (colorectal vs. other), the approach, and the incision length were independent risk factors for a grade A1 wound infection. When wound dehiscences were additionally considered, wound complications were found to have arisen significantly more often in the stapling group than in the intracutaneous suturing group (16.3% [23/141] versus 30.2% [42/139], OR: 0.45 [0.25; 0.80]; p = 0.006).
    Conclusion: In elective gastrointestinal surgery, intracutaneous suturing was not found to be associated with a lower rate of superficial wound infections than skin stapling, but fewer wound dehiscences occurred in the intracutaneous suturing group.

    Abstract Background: Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and pemphigus foliaceus (PF) are potentially life-threatening autoimmune blistering diseases. Treatment is based on long-term immunosuppression with high doses of glucocorticosteroids in combination with potentially corticosteroid-sparing agents and/or rituximab. Immunoadsorption (IA) has emerged as a fast-acting adjuvant treatment option.
    Objectives: To assess the clinical efficacy of IA in addition to best medical treatment (BMT).
    Methods: We conducted a multicentre (26 centres from Germany and Austria) randomized controlled trial in 72 patients with newly diagnosed, relapsed or chronic active PV or PF (34 female patients and 38 male patients, aged 42-72 years) comparing BMT (prednisolone 1.0 mg kg-1 per day plus azathioprine or mycophenolate) with adjuvant IA (BMT + IA). Central 1 : 1 randomization was done at the coordinating centre for clinical trials (KKS Marburg). The primary endpoint was analysed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression methods.
    Results: The study was ended prematurely owing to safety concerns after random allocation of 72 patients to BMT + IA (n = 34) or BMT (n = 38). The primary endpoint, time to complete remission on therapy, was not significantly different for the two groups [hazard ratio (HR) 1.35, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.68-2.69; P = 0.39]. The cumulative dose of prednisolone was significantly lower in the BMT + IA group compared with BMT alone (difference -1214, 95% CI -2225 to -70; P = 0.03). In a post hoc analysis, patients with more extensive PV/PF showed a tendency towards a shorter time to remission in the BMT + IA group compared with the BMT group (HR 1.87, P = 0.17 in patients with baseline Pemphigus Disease Area Index ≥ 15). While more adverse events were observed in patients in the BMT group (29 vs. 25), severe adverse events were more frequent in patients in the BMT + IA group (17 events in 10 patients vs. 11 events in 8 patients).
    Conclusions: In this study, adjuvant IA did not demonstrate a shorter time to clinical remission, but a corticosteroid-sparing effect was observed. In patients with extensive PV/PF, post hoc analysis suggests that adjuvant IA may lead to earlier remission, but potential adverse events must be carefully weighed against the expected benefits.

    Abstract Background: Cancer patients are at risk of secondary therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MNs). Acquired blood-specific mutations in clonal hematopoiesis (CH)-associated genes are t-MN risk factors, and their occurrence associated with cancer therapy and age. Patients with ovarian cancer (OC) showed a particularly high prevalence of CH-associated gene mutations, which may additionally be explained by the high proportion of a hereditary disease cause in this cancer entity.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 448 OC patients enrolled in the AGO-TR1 study; 249 were enrolled at primary diagnosis and 199 at platinum-sensitive recurrence. Analyses included the most frequently altered CH-associated genes (ASXL1, DNMT3A, GNAS, JAK2, PPM1D, SF3B1, SH2B3, SRSF2, TET2, TP53). Results were analyzed according to the BRCA1/2 germline (gBRCA1/2) mutation status. All statistical tests were 2-sided.
    Results: Advanced age at blood draw and a high number of prior platinum-based chemotherapy lines were risk factors to acquire CH-associated gene mutations, with gene-specific effects observed. Binomial logistic regression suggested increased probabilities for gBRCA1/2 mutation carriers to acquire CH-associated PPM1D and TP53 gene mutations (PPM1D: odds ratio = 4.30, 95% confidence interval = 1.48 to 12.46, P = .007; TP53: odds ratio = 6.20, 95% confidence interval = 0.98 to 53.9, P = .06). This observation was due to a statistically significantly increased number of platinum-based chemotherapy lines in gBRCA1/2 mutation carriers vs noncarriers (PPM1D: mean [SD] = 2.04 [1.27] vs 1.04 [0.99], P < .001; TP53: mean [SD] = 2.83 [1.33] vs 1.07 [1.01], P < .001). No interaction between platinum-based chemotherapy and gBRCA1/2 mutation status with the occurrence of CH-associated gene mutations was observed.
    Conclusions: A positive gBRCA1/2 mutation status is not a risk factor to acquire CH-associated gene mutations. OC patients may benefit from monitoring CH-associated gene mutations, especially following carboplatin exposure. Future clinical studies are required to assess whether treatment regimen should be adapted according to individual t-MN risks.

    Abstract Little is known regarding the associations between sex-hormone levels, sex, body mass index (BMI), age, other host factors and biomaterial stimulated bone regeneration in the human craniofacial skeleton. The aim of this study was to elucidate the associations between these factors and bone formation after sinus floor augmentation procedures (SFA) utilizing a bioactive tricalcium phosphate (TCP) bone grafting material. We conducted a prospective study in a human population in which 60 male and 60 female participants underwent SFA and dental implant placement using a staged approach. BMI as well as levels of serum estradiol (E2), total testosterone (TT), and the free androgen index (FAI) were measured by radioimmunoassay and electrochemoluminescent-immunoassay. At implant placement, 6 months after SFA, bone biopsy specimens were harvested for hard tissue histology, the amount of bone formation was evaluated by histomorphometry and immunohistochemical analysis of osteogenic marker expression. The Wilcoxon rank-sum U test, Spearman correlations and linear regression analysis were used to explore the association between bone formation and BMI, hormonal and other host factors. BMI and log E2 were significantly positively associated with bone formation in male individuals (p < 0.05). Histomorphometry revealed trends toward greater bone formation and osteogenic marker expression with non-smokers compared to smokers. In male patients, higher E2 levels and higher BMI enhanced TCP stimulated craniofacial i.e. intramembranous bone repair.
