“Microbiologists and regulators are tasked with answering big and difficult questions, and this can only be achieved by continuing to build our competence, sharing experiences and challenges, and keeping the discipline of pharmaceutical microbiology strong and vibrant,” said conference co-chair Kurt Jaecques, GSK.

“For this year’s conference, PDA and the Program Planning Committee are proud to present a robust program that tackles both current and future issues that will impact pharmaceutical microbiology,” said conference co-chair Vineeta Pradhan, U.S. FDA.

Day one will open with a plenary presentation by three-time cancer survivor Rob Weker, whose story will remind attendees of the enormous purpose of their work in pharmaceutical microbiology. The remainder of the day is packed with concurrent sessions covering multiple, forward-looking topics. Day one concludes with a presentation on pathogen spillover into humans by Assistant Professor of Biology David Kennedy, MD, Pennsylvania State University, who will share insights on a model that will be able to predict the likelihood of microbial transmission. Dr. Kennedy will discuss his research model of using nematodes as a unique host organism and how this model promises to predict future crossovers before they develop into global pandemics.

Day two features more expert discussions of all-important topics like environmental monitoring, risk management and data governance, contamination control strategies, and case studies on the implementation of the new European Union Annex 1: Manufacture of Sterile Medicinal Products.

Day three’s headliner is an eye-opening plenary session featuring Elisabeth Bik, PhD, a scientific integrity consultant and founder of the Science Integrity Digest blog. Dr. Bik will share insights on image duplication, manipulation and other problems in biomedical research. She is known for her work on detecting photomanipulations in scientific publications.

Surgical Outcomes of Perioperative Durvalumab in AEGEAN Study to be Presented at IASLC 2023 World Conference on Lung Cancer

[ad_1]

The AEGEAN trial is a double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study that evaluated the use of perioperative durvalumab in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone. The trial involved adults with treatment-naïve resectable NSCLC (stage II-IIIB[N2]; AJCC 8th ed) and ECOG PS 0/1. Patients were randomized to receive either neoadjuvant durvalumab 1500 mg or placebo intravenously (IV) alongside platinum-based CT prior to surgery. Following surgery, patients received durvalumab 1500 mg or placebo IV, respectively. The primary endpoints of the trial were pathological complete response and event-free survival.

The study randomized 802 patients with treatment- naïve resectable NSCLC (stage II-IIIB[N2] and ECOG PS 0/1). Efficacy analyses were performed in the modified intent-to-treat population which comprised 740 patients with no documented EGFR mutations/ALK gene rearrangements (366 in the durvalumab arm and 374 in the placebo arm).

Lobectomy, sleeve resection, or bilobectomy were allowed as planned surgery (at enrolment); the protocol was amended with enrollment ongoing to exclude patients with tumors classified as T4 for any reason other than size (>7 cm) or whose planned surgery was pneumonectomy (originally allowed).

In the modified intent-to-treat population, 80.6% and 80.7% underwent surgery, respectively; 77.6% and 76.7% completed surgery, with disease progression the most common reason for canceled (6.8% vs 7.8%) or non-completed (1.4% vs 2.1% ) surgery. Among treated patients who underwent surgery, 17.3% and 22.2% had delayed surgery, most commonly for logistical reasons (e.g., scheduling issues; 9.5% vs. 12.3%). The median time from the last neoadjuvant treatment dose to surgery was the same in each arm (34.0 days). Among patients who underwent surgery, similar proportions in the durvalumab and placebo arms had open (49.2% vs 50.7%) and minimally invasive procedures (49.2% vs 47.0%); lobectomy (including sleeve resection and bilobectomy) was the most common procedure (88.1% vs 85.4%), followed by pneumonectomy (9.2% vs 9.6%). Among patients who completed surgery, a numerically higher proportion had R0 resection in the durvalumab versus placebo arm (94.7% vs 91.3%).

According to Dr. Mitsudomi, it is encouraging to see these comprehensive outcomes described in a robust phase 3 trial which showed that adding perioperative durvalumab to neoadjuvant CT did not adversely impact the feasibility, type, extent, or timing of surgery in patients with R-NSCLC and was associated with a tolerable surgical safety profile. Further, the addition of durvalumab resulted in numerically higher R0 resection rates.

AEGEAN data from outcomes for patients with documented EGFR mutations are also being presented at IASLC 2023 World Conference on Lung Cancer.

The AEGEAN study was conducted by AstraZeneca (LSE/STO/Nasdaq: AZN).

Decortication and Chemotherapy Associated with Worse Outcomes for Patients with Resectable Mesothelioma

[ad_1]

Mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer primarily linked to asbestos exposure, has prompted exploration into various treatment options, including surgical procedures like pleurectomy decortication. However, despite its common use, the effectiveness of this intervention has never been evaluated in a randomized trial.

The trial, which enrolled 335 participants, randomly assigned 169 patients with resectable mesothelioma to extended pleurectomy decortication and 166 patients to chemotherapy (platinum and pemetrexed) or chemotherapy alone.
The researchers followed patients for a median 22.4 months.
Patients randomized to surgery and chemotherapy exhibited a median survival of 19.3 months, while those randomized to chemotherapy alone demonstrated a median survival of 24.8 months. However, the hazards for death were non-proportional, prompting the presentation of primary outcomes in two timeframes: randomization to 42 months and beyond 42 months. The analysis indicated a 28% increase in the risk of death in the surgery group within the first 42 months, while no significant difference in survival emerged after 42 months, Lim reported.

Moreover, the research unveiled significant disparities in progression-free survival and adverse events between the two groups. The surgery group experienced a 3.6-fold higher incidence of serious adverse events (CTCAE grade 3 and above), and Dr. Lim reported that patients who underwent surgery reported poorer quality of life and well-being on various EORTC health-related quality of life scales, particularly in global health, physical functioning, social functioning, and role functioning. The surgery group also exhibited worse positive symptom scores, including pain, dyspnea, insomnia, loss of appetite, and financial difficulties.

Prof. Lim concluded that extended pleurectomy decortication should not be offered to patients with pleural mesothelioma and classifying this disease as “unresectable” from the outset would increase access to more effective systemic treatments to improve survival for patients with early-stage disease.

Caring Transitions Brings Much Needed Services to Pennsylvania

[ad_1]

After spending over 20 years in the corporate world, Scott decided he needed a revamp and reboot. He discovered Caring Transitions through his sister, who lives in Arizona. Couple that with caring for an ageing parent himself over the last few months, Scott confessed that the services and support that Caring Transitions offered seemed like a natural fit and met his goal of helping others in any new venture he undertook.

“I understand what families go through and the stress it can put on them when you’re trying to juggle your own life, and also have to deal with an emotional and uncertain situation,” Scott said. “Being able to help a family through a challenging time is really valuable, especially because I see myself eventually needing that with my own parent when there needs to be a different living arrangement.”

Caring Transitions of East Stroudsburg will serve East Stroudsburg, Bushkill, Cresco, Dingman’s Ferry, Hawley, Milford, The Poconos, Stroudsburg, Tobyhanna and surrounding areas. Scott is looking forward to helping minimize stress for families during what can be a difficult time in a loved one’s life.

“Going through a transition like moving for seniors can be challenging and fraught with emotion,” Scott said. “Having someone to lighten the load and take charge of details can be extremely beneficial.”

“Scott is certainly somebody that gets it,” said Ray Fabik, President of Caring Transitions. “He empathizes with clients because he himself has an aging parent. It’s clear he cares about his community and his team will be a valuable asset to anyone in the Stroudsburg area who needs help downsizing or re-focusing their living situation.”
