Mechanistic Modeling of Intrathecal Chemotherapy Pharmacokinetics in the Human Central Nervous System
CONCLUSIONS: CNS PBPK modeling, in line with available clinical efficacy data, confirms the therapeutic value of intrathecal chemotherapy with antibody or small molecule drugs for treating neoplastic meningitis and warrants further clinical investigation of intrathecal antibody drugs to treat brain parenchyma tumors. Compared to intraventricular injection, intraventricular 24-h infusion may mitigate neurotoxicity while retaining potential efficacy.PMID:38289997 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3062 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Multi-omics analysis reveals immune features associated with immunotherapy benefit in squamous cell lung cancer patients from Phase III Lung-MAP S1400I trial
CONCLUSIONS: The frequency, distribution and clustering of immune cells relative to malignant ones can impact ICI efficacy in SqNSCLC patients. High CNV burden may contribute to the cold immune microenvironment. Soluble inflammation/immune-related proteins in the blood have the potential to monitor therapeutic benefit from ICI treatment in SqNSCLC patients.PMID:38277235 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-0251 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Dual-hit strategy for therapeutic targeting of pancreatic cancer in patient-derived xenograft tumors
CONCLUSION: This dual-hit strategy of SMO and FGFR inhibition provides a clinically-translatable approach to compromise the profound impermeability of PDAC tumors. Furthermore, clinical deployment of DW-MR imaging could fulfill the essential clinical-translational requirement for patient stratification.PMID:38270582 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-0131 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Facts and hopes in immunotherapy strategies targeting antigens derived from KRAS mutations
Clin Cancer Res. 2024 Jan 24. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-1212. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this commentary, we advance the notion that mutant KRAS (mKRAS) is an ideal tumor neoantigen that is amenable for targeting by the adaptive immune system. Recent progress highlights key advances on various fronts that validates mKRAS as a molecular target and supports further pursuit as an immunological target. Since mKRAS is an intracellular membrane localized protein and not normally expressed on the cell surface, we surmise that proteasome degradation will generate short peptides that bind to HLA class I (HLA-I) molecules ...

Germline USP36 mutation confers resistance to EGFR-TKIs by upregulating MLLT3 expression in non-small cell lung cancer patients
CONCLUSION: These findings characterized rs3744797 as an oncogenic variant in mediating EGFR-TKIs resistance and tumor aggressiveness through deubiquitinating MLLT3, highlighting the variant as a predictive biomarker for EGFR-TKIs response in NSCLC.PMID:38261467 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-2357 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

From serendipity to intention: development of brain penetrant PARP1 selective inhibitors
Clin Cancer Res. 2024 Jan 22. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3571. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrimary and secondary brain tumors cause significant mortality and constitute an important unmet need. The development of AZD9574, a brain-penetrant, PARP1 selective inhibitor, with favorable pharmacologic properties and intriguing preclinical activity, has led to an ongoing clinical trial evaluating it alone and in combination with temozolomide or antibody drug conjugates.PMID:38251977 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3571 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Unveiling Liquid Gold: Lymph as an HPV Marker in OPSCC to guide treatment decisions
Clin Cancer Res. 2024 Jan 22. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3549. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDistinguishing low versus high-risk HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is pivotal for tailoring treatment. Liquid biopsy, measuring cell-free HPV-DNA in serum and saliva, assesses treatment response and early-recurrence risk. Postoperative lymphatic fluid, may better guide future adjuvant therapy decisions due to its proximity to primary lesions and lymph nodes.PMID:38252056 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3549 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Facts and hopes in using omics to advance combined immunotherapy strategies
Clin Cancer Res. 2024 Jan 18. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-22-2241. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe field of oncology has been transformed by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and other immune-based agents, however many patients do not receive a durable benefit. While biomarker assessments from pivotal ICI trials have uncovered certain mechanisms of resistance, results thus far have only scraped the surface. Mechanisms of resistance are as complex as the tumor microenvironment (TME) itself, and the development of effective therapeutic strategies will only be possible by building accurate models of the tumor-immune interfa...
