Phase I study of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and cisplatin in patients with advanced osteosarcoma
ConclusionWe provide the data showing that PEG-LD 50  mg/m2 combined with cisplatin 100  mg/m2 demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and promising clinical activity in advanced osteosarcoma, which merits further evaluation in phase II studies.Trial registrationChiCTR1900021550.

Optimization of G-CSF dosing schedule in patients treated with eribulin: a modeling approach
ConclusionSimulations showed a single G ‐CSF administration 48 h after the end of each eribulin injection seems to be the optimal schedule to reduce eribulin‐induced neutropenia. However, the new administration scheme should be tested in real life to evaluate its pertinence.Trial registrationEudract 2015-001753-32, 2015/01/26. (Source: Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology)

Anlotinib combined with temozolomide suppresses glioblastoma growth via mediation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway
ConclusionAnlotinib exerts anti-glioblastoma activity possibly through the JAK2/STAT3/VEGFA signaling pathway. TMZ potentiated the anti-glioblastoma effect of anlotinib via the same signaling pathway, indicating the potential application of anlotinib as a treatment option for glioblastoma.

Association between gene polymorphism and adverse effects in cancer patients receiving docetaxel treatment: a meta-analysis
ConclusionAn association between the ABCB1 C3435T (rs1045642), ABCB1 G2677T/A (rs2032582) polymorphism and risk of adverse effects of docetaxel was found by our meta-analysis. Namely, the TT homozygotes of the ABCB1 C3435T polymorphism may be associated with the risk of hematological toxicity. ABCB1 G2677T T(A)/T(A) genotype may be associated with the fluid retention.Trail registrationPROSPERO 2020 CRD42020203132. (Source: Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology)
