Journal: A Quality Approach to Blinatumomab Delivery in Pediatric Oncology: A Children's Oncology Group Study. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 1, 2024 Clinicians provided recommendations to assist others with blinatumomab administration and offered suggestions for items that could help with implementing future clinical trials containing similar agents. Findings suggest nurses are pivotal to establishing processes which support safe administration of immunotherapies, such as blinatumomab, while also considering patient-specific needs and promoting quality of life.

Journal: USP7 deubiquitinates KRAS and promotes non-small cell lung cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 30, 2024 Moreover, USP7 inhibitors suppress NSCLC cell proliferation, particularly in cells resistant to the KRAS-G12C inhibitor AMG510. In conclusion, our findings identify USP7 as a key deubiquitinase regulating RAS stability, and targeting USP7 is a promising strategy to counteract KRAS inhibitor resistance in NSCLC.

Review, Journal: Medical Management for Fracture Prevention in Children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 29, 2024 New therapies are undergoing clinical trials, and it is likely that one or more will receive marketing authorisation within the next three to five years. The long-term outcome from such interventions will need to be studied carefully well beyond the period over which the clinical trials are conducted, and a consistent approach to the collection of data in this regard will be needed as a major collaborative effort.

Review, Journal, Real-world evidence, Real-world: Blinatumomab for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a real-world setting: clinical vignettes. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 29, 2024 Herein, we discuss strategies to address the unique adverse effects of blinatumomab and ways to optimize its administration and integration into the treatment backbone of B-ALL. We outline our approach to combining and sequencing blinatumomab with other immunotherapies, such as INO and CD19 CAR T-cells, and provide recommendations for the management of toxicities and dose-optimization of blinatumomab therapy in clinical practice.

Journal: Candida Epiglottitis in a Patient Undergoing Chemotherapy for Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Case Report. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 29, 2024 On the 10th day after receiving amrubicin and pegfilgrastim, he developed fever and a sore throat, presenting to the clinic the following day...The patient was hospitalized and treated with intravenous micafungin and meropenem, along with amphotericin B gargles...Antifungal therapy was completed within 11 days of hospitalization. This case underscores the importance of considering Candida epiglottitis in immunocompromised patients presenting with a sore throat, as prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent potentially fatal complications.

Journal: C5aR expression in kidney tubules, macrophages and fibrosis. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 28, 2024 C5a activity was C5aR dependent, as demonstrated by reversal with the C5aR inhibitor avacopan. Collectively, these results suggest that myeloid C5aR may induce excessive inflammation in the kidney via immune cell recruitment, extracellular matrix destruction, and remodeling, resulting in fibrotic tissue deposition.

Retrospective data, Journal: Therapy with transitions from one bone-forming agent to another: a retrospective cohort study on teriparatide and romosozumab. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 28, 2024 Furthermore, when examining the changes in the proportion of patients who achieved the osteoporosis treatment goal of a T-score exceeding -2.5, no significant increase was observed in the R2T group, whereas a significant increase was observed in the lumbar spine in the T2R group. Regarding therapy switching between bone-forming agents, this study suggests that transitioning from teriparatide to romosozumab increases BMD more effectively than transitioning in the opposite sequence.

Journal: Ezh2 Delays Activation of Differentiation Genes During Normal Cerebellar Granule Neuron Development and in Medulloblastoma. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 28, 2024 Similarly, in MB cells, neuronal differentiation could be induced by preventing H3K27me3 modifications using an Ezh2 inhibitor (UNC1999), but only when UNC1999 was combined with forced cell cycle exit driven by a CDK4/6 inhibitor (Palbociclib). Ezh2 emerges as a powerful restraint upon post-mitotic differentiation during normal GNP development and combination of Ezh2 inhibition with cell cycle exit leads to MB cell differentiation.

Journal: FGTI-2734 Inhibits ERK Reactivation to Overcome Sotorasib Resistance in KRAS G12C Lung Cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 28, 2024 Importantly, treatment of mice with FGTI-2734 inhibited sotorasib-induced ERK reactivation in KRAS G12C PDX, and treatment of mice with the combination of FGTI-2734 and sotorasib were also significantly more effective at suppressing in vivo the levels of P-ERK in sotorasib-resistant human KRAS G12C lung cancer xenografts as well as a PDX. Our findings provide a foundation for overcoming sotorasib resistance and potentially improving the treatment outcomes of KRAS G12C lung cancer.

Journal: Injectable Polydopamine Nanoparticle-Incorporated Hydrogels for Antiangiogenesis and Stimulating Tumoricidal Immunity to Inhibit Metastasis and Recurrence Postresection. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 28, 2024 This nanoregulator together with regorafenib (REG) was further incorporated into a hydrogel developed from grafting adipic acid dihydrazide onto 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical oxidized chitin and oxidized hyaluronic acid, which was injectable at the cavity after subcutaneous tumor surgery with good mechanical properties and degradability...This effect was achieved by suppressing angiogenesis and enhancing antitumor immunity, characterized by increased levels of effector T lymphocytes and activation of dendritic cells within tumors, spleens, and draining lymph nodes. The injectable hydrogel offers a promising strategy for postoperative management aimed at preventing tumor metastasis and recurrence.
