Phase II Trial of Atezolizumab Combined With Carboplatin and Pemetrexed for Patients With Advanced Nonsquamous Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer With Untreated Brain Metastases (Atezo-Brain, GECP17/05)
CONCLUSION: Atezolizumab plus carboplatin and pemetrexed demonstrates activity in patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC with untreated brain metastases with an acceptable safety profile.PMID:37603816 | DOI:10.1200/JCO.22.02561

Dexamethasone induces cancer mitigation and irreversible senescence in lung cancer cells via damaging cortical actin and sustained hyperphosphorylation of pRb
Steroids. 2023 Jun 30:109269. doi: 10.1016/j.steroids.2023.109269. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTActivation of the glucocorticoid receptors by its cognate ligand, dexamethasone (DEX) is commonly used as an adjuvant treatment in solid tumors. However, its direct effect on cancerous phenotype is not fully understood. We explored the effect and molecular mechanisms of DEX action in lung cancer. In in vitro experiments, DEX treatment causes decrease in migration, invasion and colony formation ability of A549 cells even at lower doses. DEX also decreased adhesion of A549 cells by reducing the formation of cortical actin. Treatm...

Randomized Phase III Trial of Pemetrexed Versus Docetaxel in Patients With Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Previously Treated With Chemotherapy
CONCLUSION: Treatment with pemetrexed resulted in clinically equivalent efficacy outcomes, but with significantly fewer side effects compared with docetaxel in the second-line treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC and should be considered a standard treatment option for second-line NSCLC when available.PMID:37196429 | DOI:10.1200/JCO.22.02546

Dexamethasone activates c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) which interacts with GR and protects it from ubiquitin-mediated degradation in NSCLC cells
Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2023 Jan 26;650:1-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2023.01.079. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDexamethasone-mediated pharmacological activation of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is widely used in the treatment regimen of hematological malignancies and solid cancers. However, DEX sensitivity towards patients primarily depends on the endogenous protein levels of GR. We observed that DEX treatment leads to an increase in GR protein levels despite inhibition of neo-protein synthesis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Mechanistically, DEX-stimulation concomitantly increased the JNK phosphorylation ...

MPN-092 Paraneoplastic Eosinophilia: An Unusual Initial Presentation of Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
We report the case of a 58-year-old female patient, a previously healthy heavy smoker who presented with worsening abdominal pain and dyspnea. Laboratory tests revealed hypereosinophilia with an absolute eosinophilic count (AEC) of 65,000/mm3, thrombocytosis (platelets=890,000/mm3), and disturbed liver function tests. Chest-abdomen-pelvis CT scan showed a huge necrotic tumor in the tail of the pancreas associated with multiple regional and retroperitoneal lymph nodes, liver metastases, and multiple bilateral lung nodules with lymphangitic carcinomatosis. We performed the following laboratory tests to exclude different etio...

A phase I trial of CT900, a novel α-folate receptor-mediated thymidylate synthase inhibitor, with expansion cohorts in patients with high grade serous ovarian cancer
CONCLUSIONS: The dose of 12 mg/m2/q2Wk was declared the recommended phase II dose/schedule. At this dose/schedule, CT900 exhibited an acceptable side effect profile with clinical benefit in patients with high/medium α‑FR expression and warrants further investigation.PMID:35984704 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-22-1268

Prevention of Pemetrexed-Induced Rash Using Low-Dose Corticosteroids: A Phase II Study
CONCLUSION: Prophylactic administration of low-dose dexamethasone for 5 days from the day after pemetrexed administration resulted in a milder incidence and severity of rash. These findings may provide a standard preventative strategy for pemetrexed-induced rashes. (Trial identifier: UMIN000025666).PMID:35325241 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyab077

Effect of pretreatment with dexamethasone on the efficacy and immune-related adverse events of immunotherapy in first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer: a network meta-analysis of randomized control trials
CONCLUSION: The combination treatment of I+C+D is the most effective approach for the first-line treatment of NSCLC patients treated with I+C, I, or C.PMID:35106186 | PMC:PMC8784760
