Niraparib With Abiraterone Acetate Plus Prednisone as First-Line Therapy in Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer With Homologous Recombination Repair Gene Alterations: Final Analysis of the Asian Subgroup From the MAGNITUDE Study. (PubMed, Int J Urol)
In this final exploratory analysis of the Asian subgroup, participants with BRCA + mCRPC continued to benefit from first-line treatment with niraparib + AAP in comparison to placebo + AAP, with efficacy and toxicity profiles consistent with the global study population.

First Real-World Data of Olaparib Combination Treatment with Abiraterone and Prednisone or Prednisolone in First-Line Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC): Descriptive Analysis of 154 Patients Enrolled in the Early Access Program in France. (PubMed, Drugs Real World Outcomes)
These are the first results describing the real-world use of olaparib in France in prostate cancer. Most patients included in the fEA had generally similar characteristics as the patients randomized in the PROpel clinical trial (NCT03732820) and initiated at the standard dose of 300 mg twice daily. No new safety signals were reported in this real-world patient population. The analyzed data did not modify the benefit-risk balance of olaparib.

Efficacy of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab Rechallenge in a Long-Term Melanoma Survivor: A Case Report. (PubMed, Am J Case Rep)
The patient was rechallenged with standard-dose IPINIVO (3: 1 mg/kg iplimumab: nivolumab) and achieved excellent clinical response despite multiple treatment-delaying toxicities: grade 2 cytokine release syndrome after cycle 1 and grade 2 pneumonitis and grade 3 colitis after cycle 2, managed with high-dose prednisone. CONCLUSIONS There are limited data on the benefit and safety of IPINIVO with rechallenge in patients who achieved initial PFS longer than 2 years, warranting further research in populations with resistant disease. Long-term safety data from rechallenge responders are needed.

Sarcoidosis-Induced Hypercalcemia in a Patient With Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2A (MEN2A) Syndrome Harboring the C609Y REarranged During Transfection (RET) Mutation. (PubMed, AACE Endocrinol Diabetes)
Patient was managed acutely with calcitonin and was started on prednisone and hydroxychloroquine. The co-occurrence of both MEN 2A and sarcoidosis is rare, adding an unexpected layer of complexity to the diagnosis. The rarity of sarcoidosis co-occurring with MEN 2A highlights the importance of considering a broad differential diagnosis, even in patients with known genetic syndromes, to ensure accurate management.
