Purpose: Patients with prostate cancer (PCa) treated with apalutamide frequently develop rash. We aim to characterize apalutamide-related dermatological adverse events (dAEs) and management. Materials and Methods: We assessed 303 patients with PCa treated with apalutamide. DAE frequency and time to onset were calculated and clinicopathological features and management described. Associations between dAE occurrence and clinical trial participation, as well as abiraterone/prednisone exposure were detected using logistic regression models.Results: Seventy-one (23.4%) patients had all-grade dAE occurring at a median of 77 (IQR: 30e135) days post-exposure. Twenty (6.6%) dAE-related therapy interruptions included: 8 (2.6%) with dose maintained on rechallenge, 7 (2.3%) with dose reduction and 5 (1.7%) with discontinuation. Common dAEs were maculopapular rashes (33.8%) and xerosis (32.4%). Seven (77.8%) of 9 histological analyses of skin biopsies supported a drug reaction. No significant differences in laboratory hematological, hepatic and renal function were detected between dAE and no dAE cohorts. Most treated grade

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare condition, usually presenting as an acute coronary syndrome, and is often seen in states associated with high systemic estrogen levels such as pregnancy or oral contraceptive use. While topical hormonal replacement therapy may result in increased estrogen levels similar to those documented with oral contraceptive use, there are no reported cases of spontaneous coronary dissection with topical hormonal replacement therapy. We describe a 53-year-old female who developed two spontaneous coronary dissections while on topical hormonal replacement therapy. The patient had no other risk factors for coronary dissection. After withdrawal from topical hormonal therapy, our patient has done well and has not had recurrent coronary artery dissections over a one-year follow-up period. The potential contributory role of topical hormonal therapy as a cause of spontaneous coronary dissection should be recognized.

Oral ruxolitinib has been successfully used for the treatment of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) and topical ruxolitinib has demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials for vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis. Background: There are no FDA-approved topical treatments for cutaneous cGvHD. Topical corticosteroids are the mainstay of skin-directed therapy for the inflammatory-phase cutaneous cGvHD but are associated with significant side effects such as skin thinning, bruising, striae, infections, and acne, and may incompletely treat cutaneous cGvHD, prompting use of systemic therapies. Methods. We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind, vehicle- and comparator-controlled, phase 2, proof-of-concept trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of topical ruxolitinib 1.5% cream in patients 12 years of age or older with cutaneous nonsclerotic (lichen-planus like, poikilodermatous) and superficially sclerotic (lichen sclerosus, morphea-like) cGvHD with ≥2% of body surface area (BSA) affected at a single, academic transplantation center in the United States. Patients were only eligible to enroll if systemic therapy, when applicable, was stable for ≥ 4 weeks and concurrent topical therapy (including phototherapy) was not used. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive topical ruxolitinib 1.5% cream left side of face/body or right side of face/body with placebo vehicle cream to contralateral side of face/body twice daily to for 28 days, followed by an optional open label extension to both sides of 28 days for interested patients. The primary end point was efficacy as measured by BSA of the GvHD rash on the side of face/body treated with topical ruxolitinib cream vs contralateral side treated with vehicle at Day 28. Secondary endpoints were Physician's Global Assessment of clinical condition (PGA) and Composite Assessment of Index Lesion Severity (CAILS) of the ruxolitinib-treated side vs vehicle-treated side at Day 14 and 28. Interim analyses were performed once 10 patients were evaluable of the planned 24 patients. Results. Between 6/28/19 and 5/14/21, a total of 13 patients (mean age 52.6 years [SD 20.0]; 7 [54%] female and 6 [46%] male) underwent randomization; 11 patients completed Day 14 assessments, 12 patients Day 28 assessments, and 10 patients Day 56 assessments. Patients had a history of acute leukemia (N=8 [62%]), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (N=3 [23%]), myeloproliferative neoplasm (N=1 [8%]), or aplastic anemia (N=1 [8%]). Median time from transplant to enrollment was 665 days (IQR 433-1355), and from cGvHD onset to enrollment 283 days (IQR 115-867). Chronic GvHD was NIH mild (8%), moderate (23%), or severe (62%), predominantly classic (85% vs. overlap 15%), with 46% having 4 or more involved organs. Most patients were enrolled for treatment of cutaneous nonsclerotic cGvHD (N=10, 77%) with lichen planus-like (N=8), papulosquamous (N=1), and maculopapular rash/erythema features (N=1). Three patients were enrolled for treatment of lichen sclerosus-like cGvHD. Patients were heavily pretreated with 4 (31%) having 3 or more prior lines of systemic therapy for cGvHD. Most patients had failed at least 2 topical therapies, with 77% previously failed topical steroids, 24% topical calcineurin inhibitors, and 24% phototherapy. There was a trend in reduced BSA of cGvHD on the treatment side compared to the vehicle side from Day 1 (13.4 on treatment/vehicle) to Day 14 (10.9 vs 13.8; p=0.06) and continuing to Day 28 (7.7 vs 11.0; p=0.15), respectively. PGA (Day 1: 5 treatment/vehicle) of treatment side was significantly improved starting at Day 14 (3.3 treatment vs 4.4 vehicle; p=0.024), with continued improvement at Day 28 (2.5 vs 4.0; p= 0.026). CAILS (Day 1: 15.6 treatment vs 15.5 vehicle; p=0.83) of treatment side was also significantly improved starting at Day 14 (9.0 vs 13.3; p=0.02). There were no serious adverse events (SAEs) reported. One patient had a grade 1 headache which was attributed possibly to therapy. Three patients had treatment-emergent AEs (all grade 1) that were unlikely (N=1) or unrelated (N=2) to study therapy. Conclusions. Topical ruxolitinib 1.5% cream was effective in treating cutaneous nonsclerotic and superficially sclerotic GvHD as determined by PGA and CAILS. These data suggest that ruxolitinib cream might be a safe and effective treatment option for patients with cutaneous nonsclerotic and superficially sclerotic chronic GvHD. Figure 1 Figure 1.

12022 Background: Late alopecia is defined as incomplete hair regrowth > 6 months following cytotoxic chemotherapy or from initiation of endocrine therapy. It has been reported in up to 25-30% of cancer survivors and is associated with decreased quality of life and reduced dose intensity of cancer therapies. Minoxidil is an aminopyridine potassium channel opener, resulting in vasodilation and premature entry of resting hair follicles into the anagen (growth) phase and increase in hair follicle size. This study aims to assess clinical outcomes and adverse events of oral minoxidil for the treatment of cancer therapy-related late alopecia. Methods: We retrospectively assessed all women with late alopecia treated with oral minoxidil (1.25 mg daily) evaluated at an oncodermatology referral program between 1/2018-5/2021. Outcomes were assessed by standardized photography (4 views) and trichoscopy (HairMetrix, Canfield Scientific, Inc.). Trichoscopy recorded hair density (hair count/cm2) and hair thickness (shaft diameter) at uniform frontal and occipital target areas (12 and 36 cm midline from the glabella, respectively). Adverse events were recorded and graded using CTCAE v5.0. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the patient demographics and clinical characteristics. Changes in trichoscopy measurements from baseline to follow-up were estimated using paired t-tests. Results: Two hundred and sixteen patients (mean age 57.8±13.7) were included for analysis. Thirty-one (14%) received chemotherapy alone, 65 (30%) endocrine monotherapy, and 120 (56%) chemotherapy followed by endocrine therapy. The majority of patients (n = 170, 79.1%) had a history of breast cancer. Standardized photography assessments (n = 119) after a median of 105 days (IQR = 70) on oral minoxidil revealed clinical improvement in 88 (74%). Trichoscopy assessments (n = 42) after a median of 91 days (IQR = 126) demonstrated increased frontal hair density (124.2 vs 153.2 hairs/cm2, p = 0.008) and occipital hair density (100.3 vs 123.5 hairs/cm2, p = 0.004). There was no statistically significant difference in average frontal or occipital hair thickness (69.3 vs 67.3 μm, p = 0.22, and 70.3 vs 69.9 μm, p = 0.84, respectively). No patients reported discontinuation of oral minoxidil due to adverse effects. Conclusions: Oral minoxidil may benefit both frontal and occipital late alopecia in cancer survivors treated with cytotoxic and/or endocrine therapy. This regimen was well tolerated by patients. Prospective, controlled studies are needed to confirm these observations.
