A Study of Avutometinib + Defactinib in Recurrent Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer in Japanese Patients

This is a multi-center, open label Phase 2 study designed to evaluate safety and tolerability and confirm efficacy by BICR of avutometinib in combination with defactinib in Japanese patients with molecularly profiled recurrent LGSOC.

Utility of Adjusting Chemotherapy Dose & Dosing Schedule with the SALVage Weekly Dose-dense Regimen in Patients with Poor Prognostic OVARian Cancers Based on the Tumor Unfavorable Primary Chemosensitivity and Incomplete Debulking Surgery

SALVOVAR is a pragmatic open-label multicenter randomized phase III trial (ratio 1:1) comparing the efficacy of the salvage weekly dose-dense regimen with those of the continuation of the same standard regimen as given during neo-adjuvant period. The randomization will be stratified on the main clinical prognostic factors assumed to impact the efficacy of the assessed arms and the overall survival: 1. Bevacizumab: planned administration: Yes, vs No 2. BRCA mutation: planned administration: Yes, vs No/Unknown 3. KELIMTM strate within unfavorable KELIM subgroup: very unfavorable < 0.7, vs moderately unfavorable [0.7-1.0[ The trial will be pragmatic, as it aims at confirming the superiority of the adjusted chemotherapy compared to the continuation of the standard chemotherapy in routine clinical practice, in a population of ovarian cancer patients close to the real-life clinical activity with few selection criteria.

Hypothermia Versus Normothermia After Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest

Temperature control is a key neurointensive care for post-cardiac arrest patients. Although therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to be effective in the past, recent large randomized controlled trials have failed to demonstrate its efficacy. The international guidelines recommend temperature control under 37.7°C. However, the optimal temperature control, i.e., hypothermia versus normothermia, remains controversial. Additionally, randomized controlled trials that examined temperature control after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) are lacking. ECPR is a resuscitation technique using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for refractory cardiac arrest. In ECPR patients, ECMO using a heat exchanger can more rapidly achieve the targeted temperature as compared to other temperature control devices. Early cooling to achieve hypothermia after resuscitation is expected to be more effective for neuroprotection in the injured brain. Thus, the investigators hypothesized that hypothermia would be effective in ECPR patients. Furthermore, ECMO can stabilize the respiratory and circulatory status. Therefore, hypothermia, which may have side effects such as electrolyte abnormalities and arrhythmias, may be safely performed by ECMO. However, ECMO requires the administration of anticoagulants; therefore, it has the risk of hemorrhagic complications. Among patients receiving ECPR, bleeding is a common complication due to its relatively difficult procedure, considering the fact that emergent cannulation is performed under resuscitation. Additionally, CPR-related complications can also result in bleeding. These complications may be enhanced by hypothermia. Therefore, hypothermia after ECPR could contribute to a favorable outcome, but it could also cause bleeding. The SAVE-J NEUROTHERM trial is a cluster randomized trial that evaluated and compared the mortality risk, neurological outcomes, and adverse events between out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients who underwent hypothermia and normothermia after ECPR.
