Development of a core outcome set for venous leg ulceration (CoreVen) research evaluations (protocol)

BackgroundA venous leg ulcer is a chronic leg wound caused by poor venous blood circulation in the lower limbs. It is a recurring condition causing pain, malodour, reduced mobility, and depression. Randomised controlled trials evaluating treatments for venous leg ulcers provide important evidence to inform clinical decision-making. However, for findings to be useful, outcomes need to be clinically meaningful, consistently reported across trials, and fully reported. Research has identified the large number of outcomes reported in venous leg ulcer trials, impacting both synthesis of results, and clinical decision-making. To address this, a core outcome set will be developed. A core outcome set is an agreed standardised set of outcomes which should be, as a minimum, measured and reported in all trials which evaluate treatment effectiveness for a given indication. A core outcome set has the potential to reduce research waste, improve the utility of RCTs, reduce reporting bias, facilitate treatment comparisons across different sources of evidence and expedite the production of systematic reviews, meta-analyses and evidence-based clinical guidelines.AimThe aim of this project is to develop a core outcome set for research evaluating the effectiveness of interventions for treating venous leg ulceration.MethodsThrough a scoping review of the literature on venous leg ulceration, we will firstly identify a list of candidate outcome domains (broad categories in relation to what is being measured) from randomised controlled trials and qualitative research, and outcomes (specific methods in relation to what is being measured). In two further stages, we will use the resulting lists of outcome domains and outcomes to design two online surveys. A range of stakeholders will be invited to participate in the surveys and they will be asked to indicate which outcome domains and outcomes are most important and should be considered as core in future research reports.     

A Minimum Of 100 Tumor Cells in a Single Biopsy Sample Is Required to Assess Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 Expression in Predicting Patient Response to Nivolumab Treatment in Nonsquamous Non–Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

IntroductionProgrammed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression is a predictive biomarker for patient response to nivolumab in nonsquamous NSCLC. However, the number of biopsy samples and tumor cells (TCs) required to assess PD-L1 expression remains unclear.MethodsA total of 222 biopsy samples from 80 patients with nonsquamous NSCLC treated with nivolumab were collected. Number of TCs and PD-L1 score were compared among the sample containing the largest number of TCs (Max-TC), the sample containing the smallest number of TCs (Min-TC), and the total samples from each patient. The impact of the number of samples and TCs on the prediction of patient response to nivolumab with use of PD-L1 scores was evaluated.ResultsThere was a mismatch in PD-L1 scores less than 1% and those of at least 1% between Max-TC and the total samples in one patient (1%) and between Max-TC and Min-TC in six patients (8%). The optimal number of TCs to match PD-L1 expression less than 1% versus at least 1% between Max-TC and Min-TC was 100 (sensitivity = 0.676 and 1 – specificity = 0.333). PD-L1 expression of at least 1% in Min-TCs containing at least 100 TCs was associated with longer progression-free survival (median 7.6 versus 1.8 months [p < 0.01]) and overall survival (median not reached versus 9.9 months [p = 0.04]) compared with PD-L1 expression less than 1%. However, there were no differences in progression-free survival (median 3.9 versus 2.3 months [p = 0.37]) or overall survival (median 9.7 versus 7.6 months [p = 0.60]) between PD-L1 expression of at least 1% and PD-L1expression less than 1% in Min-TCs containing fewer than 100 TCs.ConclusionSingle biopsy samples containing at least 100 TCs are required to evaluate PD-L1 expression for predicting patient response to nivolumab.     

Brain impedance variation of directional leads implanted in subthalamic nuclei of Parkinsonian patients

ObjectiveConventional deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems with ring-shaped leads generate spherical electrical fields. In contrast, novel directional leads use segmented electrodes. Aim of this study was to quantify the impedance variations over time in subjects with the directional Cartesia-Boston® system.MethodsImpedance records, programming settings, and clinical data of 11 consecutive Parkinsonian patients implanted with DBS directional leads in two Italian centers (Udine and Vicenza) were retrospectively evaluated. Data were collected before starting stimulation (in the operating room and at days 5 and 40) and after switching stimulation on at the successive follow-up visits (1, 6 and 12 months).ResultsDirectional leads have significantly higher impedance than ring leads. Stimulated contacts had always lower impedance compared to non-stimulated contacts. Before DBS-on, all contacts had higher impedance in the operating room, with an initial decrease five days post-surgery and a subsequent increase at day 40, more evident for directional contacts. The impedance of directional leads increased post-implantation at 1 and 6 months with a plateau at 12 months.ConclusionsThere was a significant difference between the directional and ring leads at baseline (before activation of DBS) and during follow-up (chronic DBS).SignificanceOur study reveals new information about the impedance of segmented electrodes that is useful for patient management during the initial test period, as well as during long-term DBS follow-up.

Interstitial and vascular pancreas rejection in relation to graft survival

To examine the incidence of interstitial and vascular rejection in pancreas allografts and its impact on graft survival, we studied 36 percutaneous pancreas biopsies and 10 pancreas transplantectomy specimens from 32 patients who had undergone simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Interstitial rejection (IR) was predominantly found in the biopsies, while vascular rejection (VR) was most prominent in the transplantectomies. Pancreas graft survival was significantly decreased for pancreas grafts that had suffered from vascular rejection when compared to those with only interstitial rejection. Potential rejection markers, i. e., serum amylase, glucose, creatinine, and urinary amylase, did not correlate with histological signs of rejection, although increased levels of serum amylase were, in all but one case, associated with rejection.We conclude that a percutaneous pancreas biopsy remains the most reliable method to determine pancreas rejection, and that by distinguishing between IR andVR, a pancreas biopsy may provide important diagnostic as well as prognostic information.
