          Abstract

          Purpose:

          Restoration of iodine incorporation (redifferentiation) by MAPK inhibition was achieved in previously radioiodine-refractory, unresectable thyroid carcinoma (RR-TC). However, results were unsatisfactory in BRAF V600E-mutant (BRAF-MUT) RR-TC. Here we assess safety and efficacy of redifferentiation therapy through genotype-guided MAPK-modulation in patients with BRAF-MUT or wildtype (BRAF-WT) RR-TC.

          Patients and Methods:

          In this prospective single-center, two-arm phase II study, patients received trametinib (BRAF-WT) or trametinib + dabrafenib (BRAF-MUT) for 21 ± 3 days. Redifferentiation was assessed by 123I-scintigraphy. In case of restored radioiodine uptake, 124I-guided 131I therapy was performed. Primary endpoint was the redifferentiation rate. Secondary endpoints were treatment response (thyroglobulin, RECIST 1.1) and safety. Parameters predicting successful redifferentiation were assessed using a receiver operating characteristic analysis and Youden J statistic.

          Results:

          Redifferentiation was achieved in 7 of 20 (35%) patients, 2 of 6 (33%) in the BRAF-MUT and 5 of 14 (36%) in the BRAF-WT arm. Patients received a mean (range) activity of 300.0 (273.0–421.6) mCi for 131I therapy. Any thyroglobulin decline was seen in 57% (4/7) of the patients, RECIST 1.1 stable/partial response/progressive disease in 71% (5/7)/14% (1/7)/14% (1/7). Peak standardized uptake value (SUV peak) < 10 on 2[ 18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG)-PET was associated with successful redifferentiation ( P = 0.01). Transient pyrexia (grade 3) and rash (grade 4) were noted in one patient each.

          Conclusions:

          Genotype-guided MAPK inhibition was safe and resulted in successful redifferentiation in about one third of patients in each arm. Subsequent 131I therapy led to a thyroglobulin (Tg) decline in more than half of the treated patients. Low tumor glycolytic rate as assessed by FDG-PET is predictive of redifferentiation success.

          Research electronic data capture (REDCap)--a metadata-driven methodology and workflow process for providing translational research informatics support.

          Research electronic data capture (REDCap) is a novel workflow methodology and software solution designed for rapid development and deployment of electronic data capture tools to support clinical and translational research. We present: (1) a brief description of the REDCap metadata-driven software toolset; (2) detail concerning the capture and use of study-related metadata from scientific research teams; (3) measures of impact for REDCap; (4) details concerning a consortium network of domestic and international institutions collaborating on the project; and (5) strengths and limitations of the REDCap system. REDCap is currently supporting 286 translational research projects in a growing collaborative network including 27 active partner institutions.

            New response evaluation criteria in solid tumours: revised RECIST guideline (version 1.1).

            Assessment of the change in tumour burden is an important feature of the clinical evaluation of cancer therapeutics: both tumour shrinkage (objective response) and disease progression are useful endpoints in clinical trials. Since RECIST was published in 2000, many investigators, cooperative groups, industry and government authorities have adopted these criteria in the assessment of treatment outcomes. However, a number of questions and issues have arisen which have led to the development of a revised RECIST guideline (version 1.1). Evidence for changes, summarised in separate papers in this special issue, has come from assessment of a large data warehouse (>6500 patients), simulation studies and literature reviews. HIGHLIGHTS OF REVISED RECIST 1.1: Major changes include: Number of lesions to be assessed: based on evidence from numerous trial databases merged into a data warehouse for analysis purposes, the number of lesions required to assess tumour burden for response determination has been reduced from a maximum of 10 to a maximum of five total (and from five to two per organ, maximum). Assessment of pathological lymph nodes is now incorporated: nodes with a short axis of 15 mm are considered measurable and assessable as target lesions. The short axis measurement should be included in the sum of lesions in calculation of tumour response. Nodes that shrink to <10mm short axis are considered normal. Confirmation of response is required for trials with response primary endpoint but is no longer required in randomised studies since the control arm serves as appropriate means of interpretation of data. Disease progression is clarified in several aspects: in addition to the previous definition of progression in target disease of 20% increase in sum, a 5mm absolute increase is now required as well to guard against over calling PD when the total sum is very small. Furthermore, there is guidance offered on what constitutes 'unequivocal progression' of non-measurable/non-target disease, a source of confusion in the original RECIST guideline. Finally, a section on detection of new lesions, including the interpretation of FDG-PET scan assessment is included. Imaging guidance: the revised RECIST includes a new imaging appendix with updated recommendations on the optimal anatomical assessment of lesions. A key question considered by the RECIST Working Group in developing RECIST 1.1 was whether it was appropriate to move from anatomic unidimensional assessment of tumour burden to either volumetric anatomical assessment or to functional assessment with PET or MRI. It was concluded that, at present, there is not sufficient standardisation or evidence to abandon anatomical assessment of tumour burden. The only exception to this is in the use of FDG-PET imaging as an adjunct to determination of progression. As is detailed in the final paper in this special issue, the use of these promising newer approaches requires appropriate clinical validation studies.

              2015 American Thyroid Association Management Guidelines for Adult Patients with Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: The American Thyroid Association Guidelines Task Force on Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.

              Thyroid nodules are a common clinical problem, and differentiated thyroid cancer is becoming increasingly prevalent. Since the American Thyroid Association's (ATA's) guidelines for the management of these disorders were revised in 2009, significant scientific advances have occurred in the field. The aim of these guidelines is to inform clinicians, patients, researchers, and health policy makers on published evidence relating to the diagnosis and management of thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer.
