Management of Pyrexia Associated with the Combination of Dabrafenib and Trametinib: Canadian Consensus Statements

Alia Thawer, Wilson H. Miller Jr, Nancy Gregorio, Joel Claveau, Sudha Rajagopal, Kerry J. Savage, Xinni Song, Teresa M. Petrella

Summary: The combination treatment of dabrafenib and trametinib for BRAF-mutated melanoma can lead to pyrexia syndrome in at least 50% of patients, which if not managed properly, can worsen and cause complications. Despite various therapeutic approaches suggested in the literature, a Canadian working group developed a pyrexia treatment algorithm to provide practical guidance for managing this side effect.

FDG-Avid Erythema Nodosum Lesions of Behcet Disease Demonstrated on FDG PET/CT

Selin Kesim, Salih Ozguven, Tunc Ones, Halil Turgut Turoglu, Tanju Yusuf Erdil

Summary: Behcet disease is a rare multisystemic vasculitis that can affect all sizes and types of blood vessels. The most common skin lesions of Behcet disease are recurrent painful erythematous nodular lesions called erythema nodosum. Here, we present F-18-FDG PET/CT images of erythema nodosum lesions in a patient with Behcet disease.

Erythema Nodosum: A Practical Approach and Diagnostic Algorithm

Daniela Michelle Perez-Garza, Sonia Chavez-Alvarez, Jorge Ocampo-Candiani, Minerva Gomez-Flores

Summary: Erythema nodosum is the most common form of panniculitis characterized by tender erythematous nodules mainly in the lower limbs on the pretibial area. It is likely a hypersensitivity response to various antigenic stimuli, with underlying causes including infections, inflammatory diseases, neoplasia, drugs, and pregnancy. Prompt and accurate management of this condition requires thorough evaluation and consideration of potential underlying diseases.

Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T cell lymphoma presented as erythema nodosum: A case report

Donghong Sun, Song Zheng, Yu-Xiao Hong, Hong-Duo Chen, Xing-Hua Gao

Summary: SPTCL is an extremely rare subtype of primary cutaneous T cell lymphomas, presenting with subcutaneous nodules and often leading to misdiagnosis. Treatment with recombinant human interferon alpha-1b showed effectiveness in this case, with lesions gradually regressing and no new nodules appearing during a 10-month follow-up.

An open label, non-randomised, phase IIIb study of trametinib in combination with dabrafenib in patients with unresectable (stage III) or distant metastatic (stage IV) BRAF V600-mutant melanoma: A subgroup analysis of patients with brain metastases

Summary: This study reports the efficacy results of treating BRAFV600-mutant melanoma patients with brain metastases using D and T inhibitors. The results show that ECOG status, LDH levels, and the number of metastatic sites are associated with progression-free survival. Further research is needed to determine the optimal treatment sequence in this population.

Ascierto, Rossana Gueli, Ana Arance, Helen Gogas, Hiya Banerjee, Teddy Saliba, Egbert de Jong, Bart Neyns

Summary: Compassionate-use programs allow for retrospective evaluation of treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in real-world settings to validate results from controlled trials. DESCRIBE III study identified lower LDH levels and fewer metastatic sites as baseline characteristics associated with long-term benefit in patients treated with dabrafenib + trametinib.

Evaluation of Polymorphisms in Toll-Like Receptor Genes as Biomarkers of the Response to Treatment of Erythema Nodosum Leprosum

Mirian Ferrao Maciel-Fiuza, Perpetua do Socorro Silva Costa, Thayne Woycinck Kowalski, Lavinia Schuler-Faccini, Renan Rangel Bonamigo, Rodrigo Vetoratto, Leticia Maria Eidt, Paulo Cezar de Moraes, Maria Irismar da Silva Silveira, Luis Marcelo Aranha Camargo, Sidia Maria Callegari-Jacques, Stela Maris de Jezus Castro, Fernanda Sales Luiz Vianna

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the association between genetic variants of TLRs genes and the response to treatment of ENL. The results suggest that TLRs polymorphism might play a role in the response to ENL treatment, however, in the clinical setting, they cannot be considered as useful biomarkers due to small differences in medication doses.

The Type I Interferon Pathway Is Upregulated in the Cutaneous Lesions and Blood of Multibacillary Leprosy Patients With Erythema Nodosum Leprosum

Thabatta Leal Silveira Andrezo Rosa, Mayara Abud Mendes, Natasha Ribeiro Cardoso Linhares, Thais Fernanda Rodrigues, Andre Alves Dias, Thyago Leal-Calvo, Mariana Gandini, Helen Ferreira, Fabricio da Mota Ramalho Costa, Anna Maria Sales, Thais Porto Amadeu, Veronica Schmitz, Roberta Olmo Pinheiro, Luciana Silva Rodrigues, Milton Ozorio Moraes, Maria Cristina Vidal Pessolani

Summary: This study investigated the activation of the type I interferon (IFN-I) pathway in leprosy patients with erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL). The results showed higher activation of the IFN-I pathway in ENL patients, which was reduced during thalidomide treatment. Peripheral pDCs were found to be involved in the production of IFN-I during ENL. These findings contribute to the identification of biomarkers for early diagnosis and the discovery of new therapeutic targets for the management of ENL reactions.

Efficacy, safety and factors associated with disease progression in patients with unresectable (stage III) or distant metastatic (stage IV) BOF V600-mutant melanoma: An open label, non-randomized, phase IIIb study of trametinib in combination with dabrafenib

Summary: This large prospective study in France investigated the treatment outcomes of BRAF V600-mutant melanoma patients receiving dabrafenib and trametinib combination therapy. The study confirmed previous findings that factors such as lactate dehydrogenase levels, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status, number of metastatic sites, and presence of brain metastasis are associated with progression-free survival in these patients.

Spectrophotometric determination of hydrogen peroxide in water with peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of potassium iodide and its applications to hydroxylamine-involved Fenton and Fenton-like systems

Mengyun Wang, Shiyi Qiu, Haoyu Yang, Yixin Huang, Lin Dai, Bilin Zhang, Jing Zou

Summary: A spectrophotometric method based on the reaction catalyzed by peroxidase (POD) and potassium iodide (KI) was developed for rapid measurement of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in aqueous solutions. The method showed good linear relationship and stability in various water samples, making it suitable for trace H2O2 analysis in rainwater and monitoring H2O2 concentration in different systems.

Summary: This case describes a female patient from China with Rowell syndrome, presenting with characteristic targetoid-like lesions and chilblain-like erythema on hands and feet. The patient tested positive for serum antinuclear antibody and other autoantibodies, suggesting a possible autoimmune etiology for RS. Treatment with glucocorticoids and hydroxychloroquine resulted in effective management of the disease.

Summary: A rare case of cutaneous lesions associated with COVID-19 was reported, with histopathological examination revealing inflammation and features of septal panniculitis with cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa. Treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs led to improvement of the skin lesions within 3 weeks. The type and timing of skin manifestations in this case appeared to be uncommon, with noted differences between Western and Asian countries.

The Role of Podoplanin in Skin Diseases

Jun Asai

Summary: Podoplanin is a glycoprotein receptor that is highly expressed in normal skin and plays a crucial role in various pathological skin conditions, including psoriasis, chronic inflammation, wound healing, and skin cancer. It is involved in epidermal hyperproliferation, IL-17 secretion, re-epithelialization, and tumor cell migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. In addition, its expression in peritumoral cells can predict aggressive behavior and poor prognosis.
