ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) demonstrated similar efficacy and lower risk of intracranial hemorrhage than warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism. Given the lack of data identifying risk factors in patients who bled while on a DOAC, we sought to investigate these characteristics.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective chart review was approved by the Mass General Brigham Institutional Review Board and assessed patients who experienced bleeding events while on DOAC therapy from 6/1/2015 to 7/1/2020. Patient characteristics were evaluated, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), renal function, concomitant therapies, and baseline comorbidities.

RESULTS: Eighty-seven patients were included for analysis, with a median age of 75.8 years. Most patients were female (51.7%) and 24 (27.6%) had a BMI >30. At time-of-event, 21 patients (24.1%) had acute kidney injury. Thirty-three patients (37.9%) were on concomitant antiplatelet therapy (APT), with 31 (35.6%) on single APT and 2 on dual APT. Pertinent comorbidities included hypertension (74.7%), ischemic cerebrovascular accident (28.7%), thyroid abnormality (23.0%), active cancer (14.9%), and anemia (13.8%). Eleven patients (12.6%) had a prior bleeding event. Most patients were on apixaban (69.0%) for the indication of stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation/flutter (72.4%). FDA-approved dosing was used in most patients (92.0%), and all deviations reflected underdosing. Most bleeding events were defined as major (95.4%), occurred at a critical organ site (72.4%), and developed spontaneously (58.6%).

CONCLUSIONS: These data provide insight into characteristics of patients who experience bleeding events while on DOAC therapy. Understanding these potential risk factors may optimize the safe use of these agents.

Spray Cryotherapy for Benign Large Airway Stenosis: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study of Safety and Practice Patterns

J Bronchology Interv Pulmonol. 2023 May 29. doi: 10.1097/LBR.0000000000000930. Online ahead of print.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Benign airway stenosis (BAS) represents a significant burden on patients, providers, and healthcare systems. Spray cryotherapy (SCT) has been proposed as an adjunctive treatment to reduce BAS recurrence. We sought to examine safety and practice variations of the latest SCT system when used for BAS.

METHODS: We conducted a retrospective multicenter cohort study in seven academic institutions within the Interventional Pulmonary Outcomes Group. All patients who underwent at least one SCT session with a diagnosis of BAS at the time of procedure at these institutions were included. Demographics, procedure characteristics, and adverse events were captured through each center's procedural database and electronic health record.

RESULTS: A total of 102 patients underwent 165 procedures involving SCT from 2013 to 2022. The most frequent etiology of BAS was iatrogenic (n = 36, 35%). In most cases, SCT was used prior to other standard BAS interventions (n = 125; 75%). The most frequent SCT actuation time per cycle was five seconds. Pneumothorax complicated four procedures, requiring tube thoracostomy in two. Significant post-SCT hypoxemia was noted in one case, with recovery by case conclusion and no long-term effects. There were no instances of air embolism, hemodynamic compromise, or procedural or in-hospital mortality.

CONCLUSION: SCT as an adjunctive treatment for BAS was associated with a low rate of complications in this retrospective multicenter cohort study. SCT-related procedural aspects varied widely in examined cases, including actuation duration, number of actuations, and timing of actuations relative to other interventions.

Safety Profile and Effectiveness of Rivaroxaban for Patients With Venous Thromboembolism in Japan　- Results From Post-Marketing Surveillance (XASSENT)

Circ J. 2023 May 27. doi: 10.1253/circj.CJ-23-0104. Online ahead of print.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE; pulmonary embolism [PE] and/or deep vein thrombosis [DVT]) in Japan is increasing, but relatively small numbers of patients from Japan have been included in studies investigating rivaroxaban (a direct factor Xa inhibitor) for the treatment of VTE and preventing its recurrence.Methods and Results: An open-label, prospective, observational study (XASSENT [NCT02558465]) investigated the safety profile and effectiveness of rivaroxaban for ≤2 years in the treatment of VTE and prevention of its recurrence in Japanese clinical practice. Primary outcomes were major bleeding and symptomatic recurrent VTE. Statistical analyses were exploratory and descriptive. Overall, 2,540 patients were enrolled (safety analysis population [SAP], n=2,387; effectiveness analysis population [EAP], n=2,386). In the SAP, >80% of patients received the approved rivaroxaban dose, the mean (standard deviation) age was 66.6 (15.0) years, ≈74% were >50 kg, and 43% had a creatinine clearance ≥80 mL/min. PE+DVT, PE only, and DVT only were reported in 42%, 8%, and 50% of patients, respectively, and active cancer in 17% of patients. Major bleeding was reported in 69 patients (2.89%; 3.60%/patient-year; SAP) and symptomatic PE/DVT recurrence in 26 patients (1.09%; 1.36%/patient-year; EAP) during the treatment period.

CONCLUSIONS: XASSENT provided information on the expected proportions of bleeding and VTE recurrence during rivaroxaban treatment in Japanese clinical practice; no new concerns of safety or effectiveness were found.

Hypercoagulability State Combined with Post-Treatment Hypofibrinolysis in Invasive Breast Cancer: A Seven-Year Follow-Up Evaluating Disease-Free and Overall Survival

Life (Basel). 2023 Apr 28;13(5):1106. doi: 10.3390/life13051106.

ABSTRACT

(1) Background: Cancer treatment, including chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy and radiotherapy, has been identified as an important independent risk factor for venous thromboembolism in cancer patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of adjuvant therapy on the coagulation and fibrinolysis components in invasive breast cancer. (2) Methods: Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), tissue factor (TF), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) antigen (concentration) and TFPI and TF activities were examined in the blood samples of 60 breast cancer patients treated by adjuvant chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Blood samples were taken 24 h before primary surgery and 8 months after tumour removal surgery. (3) Results: Adjuvant therapy administrated to breast cancer patients significantly increased the concentration of plasma TF, the PAI-1 antigen and also the activity of TFPI and TF, but significantly decreased the level of the t-PA antigen. Combined chemotherapy and endocrine therapy, but not monotherapy, has an important effect on haemostatic biomarker levels. (4) Conclusions: Breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant therapy have an elevated risk of developing a hypercoagulability and hypofibrinolysis state leading to venous thromboembolism.

Phase 1 study of GSK3368715, a type I PRMT inhibitor, in patients with advanced solid tumors

Br J Cancer. 2023 May 26. doi: 10.1038/s41416-023-02276-0. Online ahead of print.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: GSK3368715, a first-in-class, reversible inhibitor of type I protein methyltransferases (PRMTs) demonstrated anticancer activity in preclinical studies. This Phase 1 study (NCT03666988) evaluated safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of GSK3368715 in adults with advanced-stage solid tumors.

METHODS: In part 1, escalating doses of oral once-daily GSK3368715 (50, 100, and 200 mg) were evaluated. Enrollment was paused at 200 mg following a higher-than-expected incidence of thromboembolic events (TEEs) among the first 19 participants, resuming under a protocol amendment starting at 100 mg. Part 2 (to evaluate preliminary efficacy) was not initiated.

RESULTS: Dose-limiting toxicities were reported in 3/12 (25%) patients at 200 mg. Nine of 31 (29%) patients across dose groups experienced 12 TEEs (8 grade 3 events and 1 grade 5 pulmonary embolism). Best response achieved was stable disease, occurring in 9/31 (29%) patients. Following single and repeat dosing, GSK3368715 maximum plasma concentration was reached within 1 h post dosing. Target engagement was observed in the blood, but was modest and variable in tumor biopsies at 100 mg.

CONCLUSION: Based on higher-than-expected incidence of TEEs, limited target engagement at lower doses, and lack of observed clinical efficacy, a risk/benefit analysis led to early study termination.

TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03666988.

Pulmonary embolism complicated by tamponade revealing metastatic lung cancer in a woman pregnant with twin: about a case report

Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2023 Apr 7;85(5):1966-1970. doi: 10.1097/MS9.0000000000000516. eCollection 2023 May.

ABSTRACT

Lung cancer can be revealed by thromboembolic complications. Its association with pregnancy is becoming more frequent due to the increasing number of smoking women. The care of a pregnant woman with cancer is quite delicate because it requires finding a balance between the treatment of the mother and the potential foetal risk.

CASE PRESENTATION: The authors report the case of a 38-year-old patient, with a twin pregnancy of 16 weeks, complicated by proximal and distal peripheral venous thrombosis of the left lower limb under low molecular weight heparin therapy at a curative dose. A week later, the patient presented to the emergency room with respiratory distress associated with chest pain and low-abundance metrorrhagia. The obstetrical ultrasound performed confirmed the vitality of only one of the two foetuses. The transthoracic ultrasound objectified a very abundant pericardial effusion producing a tamponade, which was drained percutaneously and whose cytological study revealed a liquid rich in tumour cells. After the unfortunate death of the second twin and an endouterine evacuation, a chest computed tomography angiogram demonstrated a bilateral proximal pulmonary embolism associated with bilateral moderate pulmonary effusion as well as multiple thrombosis and secondary aspect liver lesions with a suspicious parenchymal lymph node of the upper lung lobe. A liver biopsy concluded to a secondary hepatic localization of a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma whose immunohistochemical complement revealed a pulmonary origin. A multidisciplinary consultation meeting leaned towards treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The patient died 7 months later.

DISCUSSION: Venous thromboembolic disease is more common in pregnant women. Delayed diagnosis is common in these cases, resulting in a high rate of locally advanced or metastatic disease. Since the treatment of pregnancy-associated cancer does not rely on a standardized approach, the decision on how to proceed must be made by a multidisciplinary team.

CONCLUSION: The cornerstone of management remains to find the balance between treating the mother as well as possible while preventing the foetus from the possible harm of cytotoxic drugs frequently used to treat lung cancer. Because of the delayed diagnosis, the maternal prognosis often remains poor.

The Role of EGFR Amplification in Deep Venous Thrombosis Occurrence in IDH Wild-Type Glioblastoma

Curr Oncol. 2023 May 12;30(5):4946-4956. doi: 10.3390/curroncol30050373.

ABSTRACT

Introduction:Glioblastoma (GBM) patients have a 20-30 incidence of venous thromboembolic events. EGFR is a widely used prognostic marker for many cancers. Recent lung cancer studies have described relationships between EGFR amplification and an increased incidence of thromboembolic complications. We aim to explore this relationship in glioblastoma patients. Methods: Two hundred ninety-three consecutive patients with IDH wild-type GBM were included in the analysis. The amplification status of EGFR was measured using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Centromere 7 (CEP7) expression was recorded to calculate the EGFR-to-CEP7 ratio. All data were collected retrospectively through chart review. Molecular data were obtained through the surgical pathology report at the time of biopsy. Results:There were 112 subjects who were EGFR-amplified (38.2%) and 181 who were non-amplified (61.8%). EGFR amplification status was not significantly correlated with VTE risk overall (p = 0.2001). There was no statistically significant association between VTE and EGFR status after controlling for Bevacizumab therapy (p = 0.1626). EGFR non-amplified status was associated with an increased VTE risk in subjects greater than 60 years of age (p = 0.048). Conclusions:There was no significant difference in occurrence of VTE in patients with glioblastoma, regardless of EGFR amplification status. Patients older than 60 years of age with EGFR amplification experienced a lower rate of VTE, contrary to some reports on non-small-cell lung cancer linking EGFR amplification to VTE risk.

Ten-Year Multicenter Retrospective Study Utilizing Machine Learning Algorithms to Identify Patients at High Risk of Venous Thromboembolism After Radical Gastrectomy

Int J Gen Med. 2023 May 18;16:1909-1925. doi: 10.2147/IJGM.S408770. eCollection 2023.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study aims to construct a machine learning model that can recognize preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative high-risk indicators and predict the onset of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 1239 patients diagnosed with gastric cancer were enrolled in this retrospective study, among whom 107 patients developed VTE after surgery. We collected 42 characteristic variables of gastric cancer patients from the database of Wuxi People's Hospital and Wuxi Second People's Hospital between 2010 and 2020, including patients' demographic characteristics, chronic medical history, laboratory test characteristics, surgical information, and patients' postoperative conditions. Four machine learning algorithms, namely, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and k-nearest neighbor (KNN), were employed to develop predictive models. We also utilized Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) for model interpretation and evaluated the models using k-fold cross-validation, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, decision curve analysis (DCA), and external validation metrics.

RESULTS: The XGBoost algorithm demonstrated superior performance compared to the other three prediction models. The area under the curve (AUC) value for XGBoost was 0.989 in the training set and 0.912 in the validation set, indicating high prediction accuracy. Furthermore, the AUC value of the external validation set was 0.85, signifying good extrapolation of the XGBoost prediction model. The results of SHAP analysis revealed that several factors, including higher body mass index (BMI), history of adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, T-stage of the tumor, lymph node metastasis, central venous catheter use, high intraoperative bleeding, and long operative time, were significantly associated with postoperative VTE.

CONCLUSION: The machine learning algorithm XGBoost derived from this study enables the development of a predictive model for postoperative VTE in patients after radical gastrectomy, thereby assisting clinicians in making informed clinical decisions.

Ambulatory cancer patients: who should definitely receive antithrombotic prophylaxis and who should never receive

Intern Emerg Med. 2023 May 25. doi: 10.1007/s11739-023-03306-8. Online ahead of print.

ABSTRACT

Up to 15-20% of cancer patients experience one or more episodes of venous thromboembolism during cancer disease. Approximately 80% of all cancer-associated venous thromboembolic events occur in non-hospitalized patients. Routine thromboprophylaxis for outpatients with cancer who start new anticancer treatment is currently not recommended by the international guidelines due to the high heterogeneity of these patients in terms of VTE or bleeding risks, the difficulties in selecting patients at high risk, and the uncertainty of duration of prophylaxis. Although the international guidelines endorsed the Khorana score for estimating the thrombotic risk in ambulatory cancer patients, the discriminatory performance of this score is not completely convincing and varies according to the cancer type. Consequently, a minority of ambulatory patients with cancer receive an accurate screening for primary prophylaxis of VTE. The aim of this review is to provide support to physicians in identifying those ambulatory patients with cancer for whom thromboprophylaxis should be prescribed and those that should not be candidate to thromboprophylaxis. In absence of high bleeding risk, primary thromboprophylaxis should be recommended in patients with pancreatic cancer and, probably, in patients with lung cancer harboring ALK/ROS1 translocations. Patients with upper gastrointestinal cancers are at high risk of VTE, but a careful assessment of bleeding risk should be made before deciding on antithrombotic prophylaxis. Primary prevention of VTE is not recommended in cancer patients at increased risk of bleeding as patients with brain cancer, with moderate-to-severe thrombocytopenia or severe renal impairment.

A new anticoagulant strategy: the factor XI inhibitors

G Ital Cardiol (Rome). 2023 Jun;24(6):0-454. doi: 10.1714/4041.40204.

ABSTRACT

In the last 10 years the introduction of the direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) has revolutionized the anticoagulant treatment, one of the cornerstones of the therapy for cardiovascular diseases. Thanks to their efficacy at least not inferior compared to vitamin K antagonists and their better safety profile, particularly with regard to intracranial bleeding, DOACs are now the first choice for the prevention of cardioembolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and for the treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Other areas of clinical use for DOACs include the prevention of VTE in orthopedic and oncology surgery and in outpatient cancer patients treated with anticancer therapy, or the use of low-dose in association with aspirin in patients with coronary or peripheral artery disease.An increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding has been reported for some DOACs. In addition, DOACs have also experienced some failures including stroke prevention in patients with mechanical prosthetic valves or rheumatic diseases and VTE therapy in patients with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. Also, no data are available on DOACs in some particular areas, including severe renal impairment and thrombocytopenia.In recent years, the clinical use of factor XI and factor XII inhibitors has been proposed. Currently, factor XI inhibitors have more clinical data than factor XII inhibitors. This article will report the rationale for the clinical use and the main evidences currently available on factor XI inhibitors.

Effective long-term sirolimus treatment in hypoxemia mainly due to intrapulmonary right-to-left shunt in a patient with multiple vascular anomalies

Orphanet J Rare Dis. 2023 May 24;18(1):124. doi: 10.1186/s13023-023-02732-3.

ABSTRACT

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs), particularly where feeding artery/arteries to PAVMs ≥ 3 mm can be treated with embolization. The treatment for hypoxemia resulting from multiple small or diffuse PAVMs remains unclear.We report a girl aged 5 years and 10 months presented with cyanosis and decreased activity after exercise (83-85% of pulse oxygen saturation, SpO2). She had 1 skin lesion on her face and 1 suspected hemangioma on her left upper extremity at birth and that gradually disappeared spontaneously. Physical examination revealed clubbed fingers, and abundant vascular networks on her back. Contrast-enhanced lung CT (slice thickness:1.25 mm) with vascular three-dimensional reconstruction and abdominal CT revealed increased bronchovascular bundles, increased diameter of the pulmonary artery and ascending aorta, and intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunts due to patent ductus venosus. Echocardiography revealed increased diameter of aortic and pulmonary artery. Transthoracic contrast echocardiography was highly positive (bubble appearing in the left ventricle after 5 cardiac cycles). Abdominal doppler ultrasound revealed hepatic-portal venous shunt. Magnetic resonance imaging, artery and vein of the brain revealed multiple malformations of venous sinuses. The patient received sirolimus for 2 years and 4 months. Her condition improved significantly. SpO2 gradually increased to 98%. Her finger clubbing gradually normalized.Our report implicates sirolimus might be a potential treatment option in persistent hypoxemia mainly due to intrapulmonary right-to-left shunt even small multiple or diffusive PAVMs in pediatric patients with multiple cutaneous and visceral vascular anomalies.

Preoperative Venous Thromboembolism Screening and Postoperative Selective Anticoagulant Therapy Effectively Prevents Postoperative Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism in Gynecological Malignancies: A 15-Year, Single-Center Study

Clin Appl Thromb Hemost. 2023 Jan-Dec;29:10760296231178300. doi: 10.1177/10760296231178300.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to determine which type of prophylaxis was effective for postoperative symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with gynecological malignancies. A total of 1756 consecutive patients undergoing laparotomy as first-line treatment were included. In Period 1 (2004-2009), low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) was not available for postoperative VTE prophylaxis, but available in after Period 2 (2009-2013). In Period 3 (2013-2020), patients with pretreatment VTE could switch from LMWH to direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) as of 2015. Preoperative VTE was screened by measuring D-dimer, followed by venous ultrasound imaging, and computed tomography and/or perfusion lung scintigraphy. Postoperative symptomatic VTE occurred with an incidence of 2.8% by the measures without prophylactic LMWH administration in Period 1. The incidence of postoperative symptomatic VTE was 0.6% in Period 2 and 0.3% in Period 3, being significantly reduced compared with Period 1 (P < .01 and < .0001). The incidences were not significantly different between Periods 2 and 3, but no patient switching to DOAC in Period 3 (n = 79) developed symptomatic VTE. Our preoperative VTE screening and postoperative selective LMWH administration were significantly preventive against postoperative symptomatic VTE.

Cardiac Metastatic Tumors: Current Knowledge

Am J Clin Oncol. 2023 May 26. doi: 10.1097/COC.0000000000001013. Online ahead of print.

ABSTRACT

Cardiac tumors are a heterogeneous group of pathologic masses of the heart that contain primary tumors-benign or malignant, and secondary tumors. Metastases are significantly more frequent, mostly originating from lung, breast, gastrointestinal tract, or ovary carcinomas. Secondary cardiac tumors may be asymptomatic or may cause cardiovascular, systemic, or embolic symptoms. The study is a summary of the available knowledge on cancerous metastatic lesions of the heart. Pleural mesothelioma (48.4%), adenocarcinoma (19.5%), or squamous cell carcinoma (18.2%) of lung, breast carcinoma (15.5%), ovarian carcinoma (10.3%), and bronchoalveolar carcinomas (9.8%) are cited as the most common origin of secondary heart tumors. Masses can spread by direct tumor invasion, by lymphatic vessels, veins, or arteries. Patients with cancer and nonspecific cardiovascular symptoms should be particularly vigilant, and the possibility of metastasis in an unusual location such as the myocardium should be considered in the diagnosis. Diagnostic methods include echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, computed tomography, positron emission tomography, and histologic evaluation. Treatment of choice is managing primary carcinoma, due to the poor outcomes of surgical methods.
