Association of Circadian Timing of Initial Infusions of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors with Survival in Advanced Melanoma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Aims: Chronomodulation of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is not well understood. The authors evaluated the circadian timing of initial ICI infusions. Patients & methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients with advanced melanoma (n = 121) was conducted. Results: Exclusive afternoon timing of the first four infusions was associated with worse overall survival (5.5 vs 24.9 months; p < 0.001) and progression-free survival (3.3 vs 7.6 months; p = 0.009) on Kaplan–Meier curves. In multivariable Cox analysis, the rate of overall survival was lower in patients who received all first four ICI infusions in the afternoon versus patients who received ≥1 of the first four infusions in the morning (hazard ratio: 2.4; p = 0.004). Conclusion: Deliberate morning scheduling for the first several ICI treatments may improve patient-centered outcomes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
