Long-Term Outcomes of S-1 Combined With Low-Dose Docetaxel as Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (N-1 Study, Phase II Trial) in Patients With Operable Breast Cancer
CONCLUSION: Our NAC regimen achieved favorable long-term outcomes and significantly improved OS in the pCR group. High TILs, NG 2-3, and some miRNAs may be predictors of pCR.PMID:38462397 | DOI:10.1016/j.clbc.2024.02.014 (Source: Clinical Genitourinary Cancer)

GSH-activable heterotrimeric nano-prodrug for precise synergistic therapy of TNBC
Biomed Pharmacother. 2024 Mar 8;173:116375. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116375. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCombination chemotherapy is an effective approach for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) therapy, especially when drugs are administered at specific optimal ratios. However, at present, strategies involving precise and controllable ratios based on effective loading and release of drugs are unavailable. Herein, we designed and synthesized a glutathione (GSH)--responsive heterotrimeric prodrug and formulated it with an amphiphilic polymer to obtain nanoparticles (DSSC2 NPs) for precise synergistic chemotherapy of TN...

A Global Phase II Randomized trial comparing Oral Taxane ModraDoc006/r to Intravenous Docetaxel in Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer
ModraDoc006, an oral formulation of docetaxel, is co-administered with the cytochrome P450-3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibitor, ritonavir (r): ModraDoc006/r. The preliminary efficacy and safety of oral ModraDoc006/r was evaluated in a global randomized phase II trial and compared to the current standard chemotherapy regimen of intravenous (i.v.) docetaxel and prednisone.

Correlation between trophoblast cell-surface antigen-2 (Trop-2) expression and pathological complete response in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest a potential role of Trop-2 expression as a biomarker of resistance to neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus dual HER2 blockade and may become a strategic target for future combinations in HER2-positive EBC patients.PMID:38456970 | DOI:10.1007/s10549-024-07292-z (Source: Cell Research)

Sequential neoadjuvant chemotherapy using pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by taxanes with complete trastuzumab and pertuzumab treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer: A phase II single-arm study
CONCLUSIONS: This dual HER2-blockade with sequential polychemotherapy showed promising activity with rapid tumor regression in HER2-positive BC. Importantly, this regimen showed an acceptable safety profile, especially a low risk of cardiac events, suggesting it as an attractive treatment approach with a favorable risk-benefit balance.PMID:38455369 | PMC:PMC10915636 | DOI:10.21147/j.issn.1000-9604.2024.01.06 (Source: Cancer Control)

Audit of Hypersensitivity Reactions (HSRs) of Patients with Breast Cancer being Treated with Nab-paclitaxel after Severe HSR to Prior Taxane Chemotherapy; is it Safe?
Purpose: Taxanes (docetaxel and paclitaxel) are standard systemic therapies in treating breast and other cancers. Hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) are reported in about 10% of patients treated with paclitaxel, with severe reactions in 2 –5%, even with pre-medication [1]. There is also up to 90% cross-reactivity between paclitaxel and docetaxel, for patients who experience a HSR [2]. Nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab-)paclitaxel was initially developed with the aim of reducing toxicity [3]. Early clinical trials of nab-paclitaxel re ported lower rates of HSRs [4], but no published data could be found, other than case repor...

Perioperative chemotherapy with docetaxel plus oxaliplatin and S-1 (DOS) versus oxaliplatin plus S-1 (SOX) for the treatment of locally advanced gastric or gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma (MATCH): an open-label, randomized, phase 2 clinical trial
ConclusionsPerioperative DOS improved MPR significantly and tended to produce longer PFS compared to SOX in LAG/GEJ cancer in Asia, and might be considered as a preferred option for perioperative chemotherapy and worth further investigation. (Source: Gastric Cancer)

Impact of loperamide on the pharmacokinetics and tissue disposition of ritonavir-boosted oral docetaxel therapy; a preclinical assessment
ConclusionThese results suggest that delayed loperamide administration can be added to ritonavir-boosted oral docetaxel treatment, without affecting the overall systemic exposure of docetaxel. (Source: Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology)

BRCA2 ‐positive lung adenocarcinoma treated with olaparib: A case report
A 66-year-old woman diagnosed with stage IVA lung adenocarcinoma underwent multiple lines of treatment, including chemotherapy and targeted therapies. After discovering a BRCA2 gene mutation through genomic profiling, she initiated olaparib treatment, resulting in approximately 2  years of stable disease. AbstractA 66-year-old woman was found to have abnormal shadows on a chest radiograph at a previous hospital 4  years ago, which led to a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma, cT2aN1M1b stage IVA. First-line treatment included carboplatin and paclitaxel plus thoracic radiotherapy and stereotactic radiation therapy for brai...

Neoadjuvant anthracycline-based (5-FEC) or anthracycline-free (docetaxel/carboplatin) chemotherapy plus trastuzumab and pertuzmab in HER2  + BC patients according to their TOP2A: a multicentre, open-label, non-randomized phase II trial
ConclusionOur results showed high pCR rates with Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab associated to chemotherapy. They were similar in TOP2A  + and TOP2A- groups and the current role of neoadjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy remains questioned.Trial registration numberNCT02339532 (registered on 14/12/14).
