Combined Apalutamide, Radiotherapy, and LHRH Agonist in Prostate Cancer Patients After Prostatectomy

The purpose of the CARLHA-2 study is to determine if the combination of apalutamide with 6 months of LHRH agonists and radiotherapy results in an improvement of progression-free survival (PFS) in comparison to the combination of 6 months of LHRH agonists with radiotherapy in high-risk postprostatectomy biochemically relapsed prostate cancer patients. Radical prostatectomy must have been done at least 6 months before inclusion and is not part of this study. Patients after radical prostatectomy and biochemical relapse will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either 6 months of LHRH agonists + SRT or 6 months of LHRH agonists + SRT + 6 months of apalutamide. The stratification variables include Gleason score, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), negative resection margins, extension to seminal vesicle(s), and PSA doubling time.

Retrospective Study of COVID-19 Vaccines in Patients Undergoing Immunotherapy for Cancer.

The recent outbreak of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) caused by a new zoonotic coronavirus SARS-Cov-2 poses a major public health threat, with at least 100,000,000 people infected worldwide by the end of January 2021 and over 2 million deaths. Given the scale of the pandemic, it has become imperative to quickly develop a vaccine and over 30 vaccine candidates have entered clinical evaluation. The first vaccine to receive marketing authorization in Europe and France was an mRNA vaccine, Comirnaty® (Bnt162b2; Pfizer/BioNtech). In a Phase III study of 43,448 participants, after a median follow-up of 2 months, the number of cases of COVID-19 was 8 in the vaccine arm vs. versus 162 in the placebo arm, respectively, with 1 versus 9 serious cases (Polack et al. 2020). Adverse events occurred in more than 50% of vaccinated participants and included local reactions as well as frequent systemic reactogenicity such as fatigue and headache. Fever occurred in about 15% of the participants who received the vaccine. The second vaccine to be licensed was also an mRNA vaccine: the Moderna COVID-19 mRNA (nucleoside modified) vaccine (mRNA-1273, Moderna). A Phase III trial involving 30,420 volunteers reported efficacy and safety comparable to the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine. A severe form of COVID-19 occurred in 30 subjects, with one death; all 30 cases were in the placebo group. Moderate and transient reactogenicity after vaccination occurred more frequently in the mRNA-1273 group. Serious adverse events were rare and the incidence was similar in both groups. Within the vaccination strategy implemented on a national level, the Comirnaty® vaccine (Pfizer/BioNtech) and the Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (nucleoside modified) may be used interchangeably, depending on logistical constraints. For several weeks now, the Oxford-AstraZeneca chimpanzee adenovirus vector vaccine ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AZD1222) has been available in France and its efficacy and safety of use have been evaluated. Also the non-replicating viral vector (adenovirus) vaccine for CVD 19 from Janssen Laboratories (a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson; other names: Ad26COV2.S; JMJ Vaccine or J & J COVID-19 Vaccine) was launched in France a few weeks ago. Its efficacy and safety have been validated in a phase III trial. A number of other candidate vaccines using various techniques such as mRNA, protein subunit, viral vector or inactivated vaccines are currently under investigation and will be available soon. Cancer patients are particularly at risk of developing a severe form of COVID-19. Patients with solid tumors appear to be at a greater risk, particularly in the first year after diagnosis. Severity and mortality rates in the COVID-19 and Cancer Consortium (CCC19) registry and other cohorts range from 5% to 61% (a meta-analysis showed 26%), which is well above the general population. Although data on vaccination in cancer patients are limited, there is sufficient evidence to support anti-infective vaccination in general, even in cancer patients on immunosuppressive therapy. In its notice dated January 25th, 2021, the National Cancer Institute defined its recommendations for prioritizing cancer patients for vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. This report stresses that the data acquired from science is limited in quantity and quality concerning the emerging field of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 and even more so in sub-populations including cancer patients. It reminds us that the challenge remains to vaccinate the entire population of patients who have or have had cancer, i.e. approximately 3.8 million people. The level of efficacy can be expected to be generally reduced in certain cancer patient populations with intense immunosuppression, such as haematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. However, based on extrapolation of data from other vaccines and the mechanism of action of COVID-19 (non-live) vaccines, it is conceivable that the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccination could be estimated to be similar to that of non-cancer patients, although data from clinical trials are lacking. The efficacy and duration of immunity in cancer patients is still unknown and unexplored. It is therefore legitimate to propose surveillance through dedicated registries and clinical trials. Furthermore, close monitoring and follow-up of cancer patients is required after COVID-19 vaccination to assess potential adverse events and measure clinical outcomes, e.g. infection, severity and mortality from COVID-19, cancer complications etc… The investigators wish to set up a pharmaco-epidemiological cohort within the Hospital Territorial Groups of the Cévennes-Gard Camargue, East-Hérault and Haute-Garonne and West Tarn on a specific population, patients undergoing immunotherapy for cancer, as currently there is no data available under "real life" conditions following anti-COVID vaccination19. Our hypothesis is that patients undergoing immunotherapy will not develop more vaccine-related adverse events than those observed in the efficacy and safety validation studies of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19, mRNA-1273 SARS CoV-2, Oxford/AstraZeneca and Ad26COV2.S, JMJ Vaccine or J & J COVID-19 Vaccine.

Personalized Management of Psycho-behavioral Symptoms in Alzheimer's Disease: Impact on Health Resources Use

PERSON-AL is a multicentric, interventional, open-label, randomized, parallel-group, stratified by centre, study comparing two arms: usual care versus intervention (personalized care preceded by a standardized assessment) Principal Objective : To evaluate the impact of a personalized intervention for the management of agitation due to psycho-behavioral symptoms on the use of scheduled and unscheduled hospitalizations at 18 months in patients with AD and related disorders. Secondary Objectives: A- To evaluate the impact of a personalized intervention at 18 months on: For the patient: 1. Unscheduled hospitalizations, 2. Severity of agitation symptoms, 3. The frequency and severity of emerging psycho-behavioral symptoms, other than agitation, 4. Prescription of psychotropic drugs, 5. Quality of life. For the caregiver: 6. Distress related to psycho-behavioral symptoms, 7. All causes hospitalizations, 8. Quality of life. B- Evaluate the medico-economic impact of this personalized intervention, and in particular: 1. Its efficiency compared to usual management by means of cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analyses, from the community perspective and over a time horizon of 18 months, 2. The actual cost of patient's standardized assessment and personalized management 3. The use of care and associated costs for the caregiver and the efficiency of caregiver targeted intervention.

Randomised Study Evaluating Adjuvant Chemotherapy After Resection of Stage III Colonic Adenocarcinoma in Patients of 70 and Over

Colorectal cancer occurs mainly in elderly patients. Recent estimation showed that in France more than 50% of the patients diagnosed with a colorectal cancer are 70 years old or more. Adjuvant chemotherapy has demonstrated a benefit on disease-free survival and overall survival after a stage III colon cancer resection. Nevertheless adjuvant chemotherapy is poorly used in elderly patients. Prognostic improvement with chemotherapy based on 5FU is suggested by a post-hoc analysis of randomized prospective clinical trial. But elderly patients in this study were highly selected and patients older than 80 represented only 0.7% of the total population. Thus, there is still a concern about the benefit of adjuvant 5FU-based chemotherapy in very elderly unselected patients. The recommended treatment for stage III adjuvant chemotherapy is a combination of fuoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin. Nevertheless oxaliplatin did not demonstrated survival advantage in elderly patients. Altogether there are still two matters of debate: - First, is there a benefit of fluoropyrimidine-based adjuvant chemotherapy for unfit elderly patients? - Second, is there a benefit of oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy for fit elderly patients? The aim of this randomized phase III study is to evaluate the benefit for disease-free survival of adjuvant chemotherapy in elderly patient and which chemotherapy. The elderly patient population will be dichotomized into two groups according to physician's choice after a multidisciplinary evaluation involving a geriatrician, with two different randomization assignments. The patients with an expected life-expectancy below 4 years according Lee score are excluded of this study. Some biological tumour abnormalities are more frequently observed in elderly (i.e. mismatch repair deficiency), therefore an evaluation of specific biological prognostic factors is needed in elderly population.
