Clinical and metabolomic characterization of <scp>Brivanib‐Induced</scp> hypertension in metastatic colorectal cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background Trials of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have not demonstrated dramatic benefits in advanced colorectal cancer (CRC), and this may be a function of poor patient selection. TKI‐induced hypertension is reportedly a surrogate marker for treatment benefit for some tumor types. Our objective was to determine whether hypertension was associated with benefit in the context of CRC treatment, and also to gain insight on the pathogenesis of TKI‐induced hypertension by monitoring associated changes in the circulating metabolome. Patients and Methods Clinical data were acquired from clinical trial patients with metastatic CRC randomized to cetuximab ± the TKI brivanib ( N = 750). Outcomes were evaluated as a function of treatment‐induced hypertension. For metabolomic studies, plasma samples were taken at baseline, as well as at 1, 4, and 12 weeks after treatment initiation. Samples were submitted to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry to identify treatment‐related metabolomic changes associated with TKI‐induced hypertension, compared to pre‐treatment baseline. A model based on changes in metabolite concentrations was generated using orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS‐DA). Results In the brivanib treated group, 95 patients had treatment‐related hypertension within 12 weeks of initiating treatment. TKI‐induced hypertension was not associated with a significantly higher response rate, nor was it associated with improved progression‐free or overall survival. In metabolomic studies, 386 metabolites were identified. There were 29 metabolites that changed with treatment and distinguished patients with and without TKI‐induced hypertension. The OPLS‐DA model for brivanib‐induced hypertension was significant and robust (R 2 Y score = 0.89, Q 2 Y score = 0.70, CV‐ANOVA = 2.01 e‐7). Notable metabolomic features previously reported in pre‐eclampsia and associated with vasoconstriction were found. Conclusion TKI‐induced hypertension was not associated with clinical benefit in metastatic CRC. We have identified changes in the metabolome that are associated with the development of worsening brivanib‐induced hypertension that may be useful in future efforts of characterizing this toxicity.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
