    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the utility of serum chromogranin A (CgA) along the clinical pathway of patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).
    Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was conducted of patients with NET who had at least 1 measurement of CgA between January 2015 and April 2021 at a large metropolitan Australian hospital. Chromogranin A was classified as increased or decreased if there was at least a 25% change in sequential levels and was compared with disease response by anatomical or functional imaging if within 6 weeks (considered concurrent).
    Results: Of 102 patients with NETs, 67 had at least 1 serum CgA level: 50 had been ordered during diagnostic workup, of which 33 were elevated (sensitivity: 66%; 95% confidence interval, 51%-79%). Of 129 CgA results concurrent with imaging, the sensitivity for detecting progressive disease was 28% (95% confidence interval, 15%-44%).
    Conclusions: Our findings support previous concerns that CgA adds little value in clinical decision-making.

    Abstract Introduction: Gender equity in medicine has become a significant topic of discussion due to consistently low female representation in academia and leadership roles. Gender imbalance directly affects patient care. This study examined the gender and craft group of the Principal Investigators (PI) of clinical trials run by the Australasian Gastro-Intestinal Trials Group (AGITG).
    Methods: Publicly available data was obtained from the AGITG website. Trials were divided into upper, lower gastrointestinal cancer, miscellaneous (neuroendocrine and gastrointestinal stromal tumours). Where multiple PIs were listed, all were counted. Craft group was assigned as surgical, medical, radiation oncology or other.
    Results: There were 69 trials with 89 PI, where 52 trials were represented exclusively by male PIs. Of all PIs, 18 were women (20.2%); all were medical oncologists. Prior to 2005, all PIs were male. The craft group distribution of PIs was: 79% medical oncologists, 12% surgical oncologists, 8% radiation oncologist, 1% nuclear medicine physicians. Regarding trials with multiple PI's, there were 19 in total. Of these, 11 had only male PIs, which included 5 surgeons. Females were more likely to be a co-PI (42%) as opposed to sole PI (18%). There was no gender policy publicly available on the AGITG website.
    Conclusions: There is a low percentage of female PIs in academic oncology trials in the portfolio of this large international trials group. No trial was led by a female surgical or radiation oncologist. There is a need to understand the reasons driving the disparity so that specific strategies can be put in place.

    Abstract Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized the treatment of numerous cancers but are associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction. The prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in patients treated with ICIs is unknown. This study sought to describe the frequency of reporting of CVRFs among landmark ICI trials.
    Methods: A systematic review of all phase 2 or 3 cancer trials employing ICIs that led to United States Food and Drug Administration approval was conducted.
    Results: Of the 69 identified trials, only one study reported baseline rates of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia. Smoking history was reported in 27 studies (39 %) and three (4 %) reported body mass index. No study reported history of previous cardiovascular disease, although 17 (25 %), six (9 %), and 21 (30 %) studies excluded patients with recent myocardial infarction, revascularization and heart failure respectively. Similarly low rates of cardiovascular risk factor reporting were observed in studies employing concurrent vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors and recruiting (neo)adjuvant cohorts.
    Conclusion: The prevalence of CVRFs is poorly described in ICI trials despite increasingly reported risks of myocardial infarction. A systematic approach to collecting and reporting CVRFs should be considered in future trials and real world populations.

    Abstract Objective: Cancer clinical trials (CCTs) provide access to emerging therapies and extra clinical care. We aimed to describe the volume and characteristics of CCTs available across Victoria, Australia, and identify factors associated with rural trial location.
    Methods: Quantitative analysis of secondary data from Cancer Council Victoria's Clinical Trials Management Scheme dataset.
    Design: A cross-sectional study design was used.
    Setting: CCTs were available Victoria-wide in 2018.
    Participants: There were 1669 CCTs and 5909 CCT participants.
    Main outcome measures: Rural CCT location was assessed as a binary variable with categories of 'yes' (modified Monash [MM] categories 2-7) and 'no' (MM category 1). MM categories were determined from postcodes. The highest ('least rural') MM category was used for postcodes with multiple MM categories.
    Results: Of 1669 CCTs, 168 (10.1%) were conducted in rural areas. Of 5909 CCT participants, 315 (5.3%) participated in rural CCTs. There were 526 CCTs (31.5%) with 1907 (32.3%) newly enrolled participants. Of 1892 newly enrolled participants with postcode data, 488 (25.8%) were rural residents. Of them, 368 (75.4%) participated in metropolitan CCTs. In a multivariable logistic regression analysis for all 1669 CCTs, odds of a rural rather than metropolitan CCT location were significantly (p-value <0.05) lower for early-phase than late-phase trials and non-solid than solid tumour trials but significantly (p-value <0.05) higher for non-industry than industry-sponsored trials.
    Conclusions: In Victoria, 10% of CCTs are at rural sites. Most rural-residing CCT participants travel to metropolitan sites, where there are more late-phase, non-solid-tumour and industry-sponsored trials. Approaches to increase the volume and variety of rural CCTs should be considered.
