Does size matter? A single institution's comparison of Aquablation in prostates greater than or less than 150 mL

Article

Author: Hafron, Jason ; Gangwish, David ; Kuperus, Joshua ; Palmateer, Greg ; Horning, Paul ; Ringler, Renee ; Peters, Kenneth M. ; Zwaans, Bernadette M. M.

Abstract:

Background:

Surgical management options for lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hypertension have remained limited in prostates of large volume. The advent of the Aquablation has created a potential minimally invasive option for treatment in prostates of all volumes. Thus, this study aims to evaluate outcomes and complications of Aquablation in clinical practice based on prostate volume.

Methods:

Collected variables included adverse events with Clavien‐Dindo classifications, transfusion rates, surgical retreatment rates, continued medication use postoperatively, and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) with Quality‐of‐Life indicator. Aquablations were stratified by preoperative prostate volume.

Results:

One hundred seventy‐four men were included in the study. The average postop decrease in IPSS was 10.28, with a 2.02 point decrease in Quality‐of‐Life at 1 year. Postop increase in peak urinary flow rate was 7.65 mL/s for an average of 16.44 mL/s. Hemoglobin drop average was 1.78 g/dL, but only 2.3% of patients required a transfusion. 12.9% of patients required surgical retreatment. Six months after Aquablation, 22.9% and 12.9% of patients continued taking Alpha‐blockers and Androgen receptor inhibitors, respectively. Adverse events occurred in 33 patients (19.0%). Eighteen patients were excluded from secondary analysis due to unrecorded prostate volume, leaving 123 with volumes <150 mL and 33 with volumes ≥150 mL. Groups were comparable with respect to length of stay, adverse events, blood transfusion, IPSS with Quality‐of‐Life indicator preoperative and postoperative, postop peak urinary flow, and postop alpha‐blocker use. Larger prostates had a higher rate of adverse events, retreatment, postop hemoglobin drop, and postop use of finasteride.

Conclusions:

Aquablation is a viable treatment option for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Efficacy, safety, subjective outcomes, and adverse event rates were not impacted by prostate volume. However, size does matter as prostates ≥150 mL had higher surgical retreatment rates and postop finasteride use.

Serum levels of prostate specific antigen, free PSA, [−2]proPSA, fPSA/tPSA ratio, Prostate Health Index, and glycosylation patterns of free PSA in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia pharmacotherapy

Article

Author: Kučera, Radek ; Jirásko, Michal ; Pinkeová, Andrea ; Viták, Roman ; Pecen, Ladislav ; Bertók, Tomáš ; Tkáč, Jan ; Bergman, Natalie

Abstract:

Background:

The medication used to treat benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition in men over 50 years of age, can alter the levels of biomarkers used in prostate cancer detection. Commonly used medications for BPH include alpha‐blockers, 5‐alpha reductase inhibitors (5‐ARIs), and muscarinic antagonists. We studied the impact of these drugs on total prostate‐specific antigen (tPSA), free PSA (fPSA), [−2]proPSA, fPSA/tPSA ratio, and the Prostate Health Index (PHI), as well as novel potential biomarkers in the form of glycan composition of fPSA.

Patients and Methods:

Serum samples were collected from 564 males with BPH, with a mean age of 68.5 years. The samples were used to measure levels of tPSA, fPSA, and [−2]proPSA. The fPSA/tPSA and PHI were then calculated. The glycan composition of fPSA was analyzed using lectin‐based glycoprofiling. Pharmacotherapy data was collected from the patients' medical records.

Results:

Alpha‐blocker monotherapy was associated with higher fPSA and fPSA/tPSA ratio, and decreased PHI. Levels of tPSA were not impacted. Alpha‐blocker and 5‐ARI dual therapy was associated with reduced levels of fPSA, [−2]proPSA, and PHI. Therapy combining alpha‐blockers and antimuscarinic agents did not significantly influence biomarker levels apart from an increase in a Maackia amurensis lectin‐recognized glycan originating in fPSA.

Conclusion:

BPH pharmacotherapy notably affects prostate cancer biomarkers. Recognizing the impact of pharmacotherapy is crucial for achieving an accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer and for planning treatment.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Insights Into Pediatric Neurosarcoidosis: Observations From French Pediatric Rheumatology Centers

Article

Author: Despert, Veronique ; Kone-Paut, Isabelle ; Dumaine, Cécile ; Adle-Biassette, Homa ; Mannes, Inès ; Dusser, Perrine ; Melki, Isabelle ; Tohme, Racha ; Tanase, Anca ; Meinzer, Ulrich ; Faye, Albert

BACKGROUND:

The diagnosis and management of neurosarcoidosis (NS) in pediatric patients remain challenging, with limited case documentation to guide clinicians. Most existing reports focus on initial presentations. This study aimed to outline the clinical features, management, and medium-term outcomes of pediatric NS METHODS: In this retrospective, multicentric, observational study, we collected data from pediatric patients followed in French pediatric rheumatology centers with a diagnosis of NS between January 2001 and June 2023.

RESULTS:

We identified 11 patients diagnosed with NS, comprising eight girls and three boys. The mean age at diagnosis of sarcoidosis was 10 (5 to 15) years, and the mean age of diagnosis of NS was 11.5 (5 to 17) years. Predominant neurological symptoms included headache (nine of 11 patients), papilledema (6 of 11 patients), facial palsy (two patients), seizures (one patient), and motor deficit (two patients). Nine of 11 patients had eye involvement, which consisted of granulomatous and bilateral uveitis. All patients exhibited meningitis, with cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell counts ranging from 6 to 70 cells/mm³. Six individuals presented neurological abnormalities on imaging, detailed in this study. Treatment primarily involved corticosteroids, methotrexate, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibitors. Biologics targeting TNF-alpha were necessary to achieve remission in eight of 11 patients. In two patients who did not receive this treatment initially, it was required later in the course of evolution.

CONCLUSIONS:

This study enhances understanding of the clinical course of pediatric NS and supports the early use of TNF-alpha biologics for improved management in affected children.

HanAll Biopharma, Daewoong Pharmaceutical and NurrOn Pharmaceuticals Announce Successful Completion of a First-in-Human Study for Potential Disease-Modifying Therapy for Parkinson's Disease

HL192 (ATH-399A) was well tolerated with no major safety issues in any of the 76 participants. No serious treatment related adverse events were reported and such findings were proportional between placebo and dosed groups. PK results support once a day dosing. ROCKVILLE, Md. and SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HanAll Biopharma, Daewoong Pharmaceutical and NurrOn Pharmaceuticals successfully completed their Phase 1 study of HL192 (ATH-399A), which is being developed as a disease-modifying therapy for Parkinson's disease. The study met its primary endpoints of safety and tolerability in 5 different ascending dose groups, demonstrating significant progress in the treatment of this debilitating neurological disorder. This first-in-human study included single ascending dose (SAD), multiple ascending dose (MAD), and food effect components. "We are extremely pleased to announce the completion of the first-in-human study," said Sean Jeong, MD, MBA, CEO of HanAll Biopharma. "Successfully demonstrating the safety and tolerability in healthy volunteers, including older adults, is a key step in our mission to develop a disease-modifying therapy for Parkinson's disease. These findings bring hope to millions of patients and their families who are affected by this challenging condition." "We are excited to report positive results for our Phase 1 trial, confirming the well-tolerated safety profile of HL192 (ATH-399A) in healthy participants and expect to launch the next clinical trial in people with Parkinson's disease," said Deog Joong Kim, PhD., CEO of NurrOn Pharmaceuticals. NurrOn was awarded a $1.7 million grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF) in support of the Phase 1 clinical trial of HL192 (ATH-399A), that initiated in the second half of 2023. "The Michael J. Fox Foundation remains steadfast in our commitment to accelerate the development of better treatments for the more than 6 million people living with Parkinson's disease around the world," said Katharina Klapper, principal of clinical research at MJFF. "The successful completion of the study's Phase 1 HL192 (ATH-399A) trial marks a meaningful step forward in advancing today's therapeutic pipeline." Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Current treatments primarily focus on managing symptoms, but there is an urgent need for therapies that can alter the disease's progression. HL192 (ATH-399A) represents a promising approach, targeting the underlying mechanisms of Parkinson's disease to provide a more effective and long-lasting treatment. The study enrolled 76 healthy participants. Participants in the SAD and food effect arms received HL192 (ATH-399A) once, while participants in the MAD arm received a single dose once a day for twelve days, with careful monitoring and assessment of safety and tolerability. The results demonstrated a favorable safety profile. Key findings include equivalent percentages of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) between those who received treatment compared to those who received placebo, with no clear dose dependent trends. Additionally, all tested dose levels were well below the pre-determined NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level) concentrations, further confirming the safety and tolerability of the chosen dose levels. HanAll and Daewoong plan to initiate the next clinical trial in people with Parkinson's disease in collaboration with NurrOn. The study will further evaluate the safety of HL192 (ATH-399A).

Third Quarter 2024 BUSINESS UPDATE Pipeline Development Highlights A comprehensive update of HanAll's public pipeline development below includes an overview of research along with lists of compounds, targeted indications and developmental phases. AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES PROGRAMS Batoclimab (HL161BKN) A novel, fully human, subcutaneously administered antibody targeting FcRn with the potential to address multiple IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases, batoclimab is designed to selectively bind to FcRn, which plays a role in recycling IgG, thereby reducing levels of harmful IgG antibodies Immunovant, a member of the Roivant group of companies, as well as HanAll's licensed partner in the United States and Europe, is making progress across four autoimmune indications. Phase 3 studies in gMG and TED are advancing, with topline results expected in the first quarter of 2025 and first half of 2025, respectively. Immunovant reported positive results from the Phase 2a study of batoclimab in Graves' Disease. The study demonstrated that a higher dose of batoclimab achieved a 76% response rate in patients who were not adequately controlled on antithyroid drugs (ATDs) by 12 weeks of treatment. The ATD-free response rate for these patients at the same time point was 56%. Immunovant is progressing with subject enrollment in the ongoing Phase 2b study for Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP). The data obtained from this study will also be utilized to refine the study design for a potential registrational program for IMVT-1402 in CIDP. Initial results from the first period of the Phase 2b study are anticipated in the first quarter of 2025. Harbour BioMed, another licensed partner which transferred exclusive rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize batoclimab in the Greater China region to CSPC NBP Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (NBP Pharma), resubmitted the Biologics License Application (BLA) for batoclimab to the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in June 2024, which was accepted by the NMPA in July 2024. The BLA incorporated additional long-term safety data from the Phase 3 study in gMG which concluded in June 2023. HL161ANS (IMVT-1402) Another novel, fully human, subcutaneous antibody molecule that inhibits FcRn-mediated recycling of IgG is designed to deliver maximum lgG reductions, while minimizing interference with albumin recycling Immunovant plans to initiate a pivotal study in Graves' Disease (GD) leveraging findings from the batoclimab Phase 2a study in GD data. The results from the previous study indicate a significant correlation between the reduction of IgG levels and clinical outcomes, underscoring the potential of HL161ANS/IMVT-1402 as a best-in-class treatment option for patients with GD. Immunovant intends to initiate 4 to 5 potentially registrational studies for IMVT-1402 (HL161ANS) before the conclusion of the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, the company plans to commence studies for IMVT-1402 across a total of up to 10 indications (in the aggregate) by the end of the first quarter of 2026. The company is also exploring initiating a registrational development in gMG with IMVT-1402. Immunovant will work to optimize the HL161ANS/IMVT-1402 CIDP trial design, drawing insights from the ongoing CIDP Phase 2b trial for batoclimab. OPHTHALMIC DISEASE PROGRAM Tanfanercept (HL036) A novel topical protein therapy for ophthalmic diseases, including dry eye disease (DED), which inhibits TNF, a key mediator of ocular inflammation HanAll Biopharma and Daewoong Pharmaceutical are conducting the Phase 3 VELOS-4 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tanfanercept in dry eye disease. The topline results for the study are expected in 2026. The Phase 3 VELOS-4 trial builds upon key insights gained from the completed Phase 3 VELOS-3 study. In VELOS-3, tanfanercept demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the secondary efficacy endpoint of tear volume, as measured by unanesthetized Schirmer testing, in patients treated with tanfanercept compared to those in the vehicle group at week 8 (p=0.002). In addition, a post hoc analysis revealed that a notable proportion of participants in the tanfanercept group (14%) showed significant improvement (p=0.011) in the Schirmer test, with an increase of at least 10mm from baseline at week 8, compared to only 4% in the vehicle group. The 2020 FDA Draft Guidance on Dry Eye Drug Development considers the proportion of participants achieving a minimum 10mm increase in the Schirmer test response rate as an acceptable primary efficacy endpoint for approval. NEUROLOGY PROGRAM HL192 (ATH-399A) A pipeline candidate from NurrOn Pharmaceuticals (originating from Harvard Medical School's Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory) which targets Nurr1, both a master regulator in dopaminergic neuron development and maintenance, as well as an important component in anti-inflammatory functions. HL192 (ATH-399A) is being developed to treat neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD). The Phase 1 study of HL192, being developed in collaboration with NurrOn Pharmaceuticals, HanAll Biopharma, and Daewoong Pharmaceutical, has completed dosing with the results expected in November 2024. ONCOLOGY PROGRAMS HL187 is a monoclonal antibody that targets TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptors with Ig and ITIM domains {Immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domains}). HL186 is a monoclonal antibody that targets TIM-3 (T cell Ig and mucin domain-3). These antibodies are being developed in collaboration with Daewoong Pharmaceutical as potential oncology treatments. HanAll decided to discontinue its monoclonal antibody programs targeting TIM-3 and TIGIT, following the recent data outcomes and decisions from other global companies to cease their programs. HanAll is exploring the potential for developing a new asset for a different oncology target. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (CONSOLIDATED) Key Highlights About HanAll Biopharma HanAll Biopharma (KRX: 009420.KS) is a global biopharmaceutical company with presence in Korea, the USA, Japan, and Indonesia with the mission of making meaningful contributions to patients' lives by introducing innovative, impactful medicines to address severe unmet medical needs.

Phase 3 studies in gMG and TED are advancing, with topline results expected in the first quarter of 2025 and first half of 2025, respectively. - Immunovant reported positive results from the Phase 2a study of batoclimab in Graves’ Disease. The study demonstrated that a higher dose of batoclimab achieved a 76% response rate in patients who were not adequately controlled on antithyroid drugs (ATDs) by 12 weeks of treatment. The ATD-free response rate for these patients at the same time point was 56%. - Immunovant is progressing with subject enrollment in the ongoing Phase 2b study for Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP). The data obtained from this study will also be utilized to refine the study design for a potential registrational program for IMVT-1402 in CIDP. Initial results from the first period of the Phase 2b study are anticipated in the first quarter of 2025. - Harbour BioMed, another licensed partner which transferred exclusive rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize batoclimab in the Greater China region to CSPC NBP Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (NBP Pharma), resubmitted the Biologics License Application (BLA) for batoclimab to the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in June 2024, which was accepted by the NMPA in July 2024. The BLA incorporated additional long-term safety data from the Phase 3 study in gMG which concluded in June 2023. HL161ANS (IMVT-1402) Another novel, fully human, subcutaneous antibody molecule that inhibits FcRn-mediated recycling of IgG is designed to deliver maximum lgG reductions, while minimizing interference with albumin recycling - Immunovant plans to initiate a pivotal study in Graves’ Disease (GD) leveraging findings from the batoclimab Phase 2a study in GD data. The results from the previous study indicate a significant correlation between the reduction of IgG levels and clinical outcomes, underscoring the potential of HL161ANS/IMVT-1402 as a best-in-class treatment option for patients with GD. - Immunovant intends to initiate 4 to 5 potentially registrational studies for IMVT-1402 (HL161ANS) before the conclusion of the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, the company plans to commence studies for IMVT-1402 across a total of up to 10 indications (in the aggregate) by the end of the first quarter of 2026. The company is also exploring initiating a registrational development in gMG with IMVT-1402. - Immunovant will work to optimize the HL161ANS/IMVT-1402 CIDP trial design, drawing insights from the ongoing CIDP Phase 2b trial for batoclimab. OPHTHALMIC DISEASE PROGRAM Tanfanercept (HL036) A novel topical protein therapy for ophthalmic diseases, including dry eye disease (DED), which inhibits TNF, a key mediator of ocular inflammation - HanAll Biopharma and Daewoong Pharmaceutical are conducting the Phase 3 VELOS-4 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tanfanercept in dry eye disease. The topline results for the study are expected in 2026. - The Phase 3 VELOS-4 trial builds upon key insights gained from the completed Phase 3 VELOS-3 study. In VELOS-3, tanfanercept demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the secondary efficacy endpoint of tear volume, as measured by unanesthetized Schirmer testing, in patients treated with tanfanercept compared to those in the vehicle group at week 8 (p=0.002). In addition, a post hoc analysis revealed that a notable proportion of participants in the tanfanercept group (14%) showed significant improvement (p=0.011) in the Schirmer test, with an increase of at least 10mm from baseline at week 8, compared to only 4% in the vehicle group. - The 2020 FDA Draft Guidance on Dry Eye Drug Development considers the proportion of participants achieving a minimum 10mm increase in the Schirmer test response rate as an acceptable primary efficacy endpoint for approval. NEUROLOGY PROGRAM HL192 (ATH-399A) A pipeline candidate from NurrOn Pharmaceuticals (originating from Harvard Medical School’s Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory) which targets Nurr1, both a master regulator in dopaminergic neuron development and maintenance, as well as an important component in anti-inflammatory functions. HL192 (ATH-399A) is being developed to treat neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). - The Phase 1 study of HL192, being developed in collaboration with NurrOn Pharmaceuticals, HanAll Biopharma, and Daewoong Pharmaceutical, has completed dosing with the results expected in November 2024. ONCOLOGY PROGRAMS HL187 is a monoclonal antibody that targets TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptors with Ig and ITIM domains {Immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domains}). HL186 is a monoclonal antibody that targets TIM-3 (T cell Ig and mucin domain-3). These antibodies are being developed in collaboration with Daewoong Pharmaceutical as potential oncology treatments. - HanAll decided to discontinue its monoclonal antibody programs targeting TIM-3 and TIGIT, following the recent data outcomes and decisions from other global companies to cease their programs. HanAll is exploring the potential for developing a new asset for a different oncology target.
