Objective: The Moore Criteria is a prognostic index for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer based on five factors. The criteria were developed retrospectively and validated prospectively in clinical trial populations receiving systemic chemotherapy (C). Our objective was to evaluate the prognostic value of the Moore Criteria in a largely minority, non-trial population at first recurrence.

Methods: Patients treated for recurrent cervical cancer diagnosed between 2012 and 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. Progression free survival (PFS) was defined from the date of recurrence to date of second recurrence. Overall survival (OS) was defined from the date of recurrence to date of death.

Results: Of 274 patients identified, 78 were treated in the second line. 48 (61.5%) were Hispanic, 22 (28.2%) were black, and 7 (9%) were white non-Hispanic. By Moore criteria, 9 patients (11.5%) were classified as low-risk, 48 (61.5%) as moderate risk, and 21 (26.9%) as high-risk. 53 patients (67.9%) received C, and 25 (32.1%) received other treatment modalities without C. The high-risk category carried a significantly higher hazard ratio for both PFS (5.24, p < .001) and OS (3.15, p = .002) compared with the low- and intermediate-risk combined group. The low- and intermediate-risk groups demonstrated 78.9% response rate, compared with 33.3% in the high-risk category (p = .001). Black race did not affect survival or response rate.

Conclusion: The Moore Criteria carries prognostic value across a diverse recurrent cervical cancer population outside of the clinical trial setting. Our data suggest that in a non-trial population, black race is not predictive of worse OS or PFS.

Introduction: Despite recent advances in first-line therapies for multiple myeloma (MM), most patients relapse or become refractory, underscoring the need for effective second-line (2L) regimens for relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM).

Methods: This study describes the real-world baseline characteristics, treatment patterns and clinical outcomes of adult patients diagnosed with MM between 2013 and 2020 using data collated by the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS) of the National Health Service in England. The study cohorts were broadly aligned to the eligibility criteria of the ongoing DREAMM-7 (D7) and DREAMM-8 (D8) clinical trials.

Introduction: Whole blood resuscitation is associated with survival benefits in observational cohort studies. The mechanisms responsible for outcome benefits have not been adequately determined. We sought to characterize the achievement of hemostasis across patients receiving early whole blood versus component resuscitation.

Background: Adalimumab is an effective treatment for juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis. Data are scarce on the effects of discontinuing adalimumab after control of the disease had been reached. We aimed to assess efficacy and safety of discontinuing treatment in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis.
