French Observational Study of Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma in Real-World Settings

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most frequent form of leukemia in the Western World. The disease is characterized by the accumulation and proliferation of mature, monoclonal, CD5+ B-cells with specific immunophenotype in the peripheral blood (above 5x109/L), bone marrow and secondary lymphoid organs. Small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL) is characterized by similar tumor cells but without increased lymphocyte count. In Europe, CLL has been identified as the second most frequent hematological malignancies after multiple myeloma (Eurocare 5 study) and its standardized incidence in the world has been estimated to be 4/100000 person-years for men and 2.1/100000 person-years for women. In France, 4674 new cases have been observed in 2018 (FRANCIM). A proportion of patients can initially be monitored only while others with symptomatic disease at diagnosis or during follow-up require therapies. The management of these patients have considerably changed over the last decade. Indeed, beyond chemo-immunotherapy, multiple targeted therapies have been approved on the basis of phase 2 and randomized phase 3 clinical trials and have subsequently been used in daily practice. The management of patients with SLL is similar to that of those with CLL. In addition to therapeutic advances, the advent of new sequencing technologies has also identified CLL genetic features that are now being incorporated in patient routine evaluation. Conventional chemo-immunotherapy (CIT) has been the long-standing option for CLL patient without TP53 disruption and different regimens have emerged depending on patient comorbidities (fludarabine-cyclophosphamide-rituximab, FCR; bendamustin-rituximab, BR; GA101-chloraminophene, G-CLB). These regimens fail to be effective in patients with TP53 disruption and alternative strategies are proposed for them. The CLL therapeutic panel is now enriched by oral kinase inhibitors targeting the B-cell receptor signaling. The Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) have been shown to provide prolonged response, even in cases where CIT usually failed, such as patients harboring TP53 disruption. In relapsed/refractory patients, median PFS with the BTKi ibrutinib is 44 months. In the frontline setting, ibrutinib has recently been shown to result in superior PFS and less infectious complications than standard CIT regimens. The advent of the BCL2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) inhibitor venetoclax has recently added another option for the treatment of CLL patients. BCL2 is an antiapoptotic molecule governing mitochondrial apoptosis and is strongly expressed in CLL cells. Inhibiting BCL2 with venetoclax as monotherapy led to 79% response rate in the relapse/refractory setting. Combining venetoclax to rituximab demonstrated better PFS than bendamustine-rituximab in relapsed/refractory patients. However, these treatment approaches also come with new challenges that are difficult to-address in phase 3 clinical trials and that deserve larger scale studies and longer follow-up. The emergence of drug resistance, the changes of safety profiles to deal with in routine practice and the observance of these orally administered drugs are emerging as new concerns. How these compounds change the incidence of typical CLL complication such as Richter transformation, immune cytopenias and infections remains to be determined. A growing body of concerns is also raising regarding the unlimited administration of some of this the compounds (costs, resistance, tolerance). Finally, the optimal order of use of these drugs is unknown. The advent of the BCL2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) inhibitor venetoclax has recently added another option for the treatment of CLL patients 11,12.

Factors Associated With an Evolution in the Quality of Life of Diabetic Patients With Chronic, Wound-free Charcot Foot

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease, representing a major public health problem. An estimated 537 million people have diabetes. Charcot foot, also known as neurogenic osteoarthropathy (NAO), is one of the complications of diabetes secondary to diabetic neuropathy. It is characterized by progressive destructive damage to bone, soft tissue and tendons, involving joint dislocation in the ankle and foot. Charcot foot is a complication of diabetes that is still poorly understood by patients and caregivers, with non-specific clinical signs. It is therefore largely underestimated, since it is estimated that there is a delay in diagnosis or a lack of diagnosis in approximately 25% of cases. The objective of our study is to conduct a prospective multicenter cohort of patients with chronic Charcot's foot in France in order to evaluate the evolution of the quality of life at 2 years, as well as its predictive factors. In this way, we will be better able to identify the subjects with the worst outcome among the chronic Charcot foot population. Our hypothesis is that the deterioration in quality of life over time in patients with chronic Charcot foot is primarily related to loss of foot and ankle functionality, foot and ankle deformity, the presence of foot wounds and/or comorbidities or severe diabetic complications.

Pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics of Morphine With or Without Midazolam Administered by Continuous Infusion in Neonatal Intensive Care

This study will include all neonates receiving a sedo-analgesia with continuous infusion of morphine alone or morphine and midazolam during mechanical ventilation in 3 French NICUs. Comfort and pain will be assessed by COMFORTneo pain scores and Newborn Infant Parasympathetic Evaluation Index. Morphine, midazolam and their metabolites' concentrations will be determined on samples taken during a planned blood test. Through PKPD modelling, the dose-concentration-effect relationships will be found and interindividual variability of these drugs in neonates and simulate doses needed to achieve comfort in neonates according to their individual characteristics (gestational age, post-natal age, weight etc.).

PFO Closure, Oral Anticoagulants or Antiplatelet Therapy After PFO-associated Stroke in Patients Aged 60 to 80 Years

The CLOSE trial (NCT00562289, NEJM 2017) has unambiguously demonstrated the superiority of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure over antiplatelet therapy alone in patients aged up to 60 years with a PFO associated with an atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) or a large right-to-left shunt (so-called "high-risk PFO"), and an otherwise unexplained ischemic stroke. Oral anticoagulant therapy is also a logical approach assuming that PFO-related strokes are due to paradoxical embolism which implies a venous source of embolism, or to direct embolization of a thrombus formed at the atrial level. The CLOSE trial also suggested that oral anticoagulants might reduce stroke recurrence compared to aspirin. There is accumulating evidence that presence of a PFO is significantly associated with cryptogenic stroke in patients over 60 years. Cryptogenic ischemic strokes represent about one third of all ischemic strokes in patients older than 60 years. However, the optimal therapeutic strategy in patients older than 60 years with a PFO and an otherwise unexplained ischemic stroke is unknown, because these patients were excluded from randomized trials. The hypothesis tested in this trial is that transcatheter PFO closure plus long-term antiplatelet therapy is superior to antiplatelet therapy alone and that oral anticoagulant therapy is superior to antiplatelet therapy to prevent recurrent stroke in patients aged 60 to 80 years who have a high-risk PFO and a recent otherwise unexplained ischemic stroke.

CPX-351 vs Intensive Chemotherapy in Patients With de Novo Intermediate or Adverse Risk AML Stratified by Genomics

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematologic malignancy characterized by clonal expansion of myeloid blasts. Interestingly comparing de novo and stringently defined secondary AMLs occurring after a documented phase of MDS, Lindsley et al. could identify among de novo AMLs a molecular subgroup, termed 'secondary-type AML', defined by mutations in either SRSF2, SF3B1, U2AF1, ZRSR2, ASXL1, EZH2, BCOR and/or STAG2 genes. Among de novo AML patients, 33.3% had secondary-type mutations. It has been shown that patients older than 60 years of age harboring secondary-type AML, as defined by this 8-gene molecular signature, had inferior outcome to those without 'secondary-type' mutations when treated with conventional 7+3 chemotherapy, combining cytarabine and an anthracycline (ALFA 1200 study). This was notably true among patients with 'intermediate-risk' disease per European LeukemiaNet criteria. The incidence of 'secondary-type' AML mutations increases with age and with cytogenetic risk category. Notably, roughly 50% of de novo AML patients with intermediate risk older than 50 years of age harbor such secondary-type mutations, New therapeutic options are thus necessary in patients older than 50 years with de novo AML classified adverse risk but also intermediate risk and associated to secondary-type mutation This study will evaluate the rate of MRD negative remissions with CPX-351 used as induction and consolidation therapy according to its marketing authorization (AMM), as compared to intensive chemotherapy in a population of non-MRC AMLs enriched in secondary-like mutations. In addition,P-gp activity will be explore as a putative biomarker. Duration of the enrollment period: 36 months Duration of treatment: 6 months Duration of the participation for a patient: 18 months (post randomization) (including approximately 6 months treatment, and 12 months of post-treatment follow up) Overall duration of the study: 58 months including the analysis of the results

Implementing Precision Medicine in cOmmunity HospiTALs

Patients will be selected to present a metastatic cancer (de novo or relapse after primary tumor treatment) eligible for a first line treatment (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy or targeted therapy). All tumor subtype could be enrolled in the study; metastatic prostate cancer must be resistant to castration. Triple negative breast cancer and Hormone receptor positive, Her2-negative metastatic breast cancer resistant to endocrine therapy are eligible to the study. A plasma sample will be collected at baseline and after the first radiologic assessment after treatment start. Plasma samples obtained at baseline will be tested for a large panel of gene and MSI status using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) (cf table). Plasma samples obtained during treatment will be tested for the concentration of circulating DNA. Results will be discussed within a Molecular Tumor Board (MTB) with all declared centers.

Impact of a Process Optimizing the Decision to Continue or Stop Cancer Treatments in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

We propose to study the optimization of this decision process in an advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) population, with a Performance Status (PS) ≥ 2 (median survival of approximately 3 months) piloting iteratively (before each decision to continue treatment) a process consisting of an evaluation framework (30 items to be answered by the oncologist with the patient), consolidating: 1. clinical parameters; 2. doctors' expectations regarding the continuation of anticancer treatment; 3. patient expectations and preferences; 4. the possibility of referring the patient to a supportive care specialist and strengthening home care. The process triggers a dialogue between the patient and the oncologist, based on facts and seeks objectivity, ultimately allowing a shared decision. In this prospective comparative study, the rate of systemic oncological treatment during the last month of life will be measured consecutively, over a period of usual management, followed by a period of systematic application of a process of optimization of the medical decision.

Severity of the New UK SARS-Cov2 Variant in COVID-19 Infection

SEVASAR is a paired cohort study with retrospective data collection: - Presentation: patients hospitalized for COVID-19 with SARS-CoV-2 variant 20I / 501Y.V1 - Not exposed: patients hospitalized for COVID-19 with SARS-CoV-2 corresponding to wild variants type 20A. EU1 or 20A. EU2 The severity of illness will be compared between pairs. Disease severity will be assessed according to the following definition: defined by a composite criterion including, at 28 days after hospital admission: WHO scale >5 /11 levels, (death OR need for invasive ventilation OR need for high flow ventilation (Optiflex or NIV or CPAP) or high concentration mask. This event will be taken into account regardless of its time of occurrence between the first day of the hospitalization studied and D29 after hospital admission.
