    An Unusual Case of Clostridium Peritonitis From Small Intestinal Source (Exhibit Hall) -  Jul 29, 2023 - Abstract #ACG2023ACG_1618;    
    Previously reported cases of Clostridium in the small bowel postulate that ileal hypomotility and histologic changes in small intestine epithelium with alteration in fecal flow as seen in the setting of ileorectal anastomosis may predispose patients to this bacteria. Unfortunately, there is no clear antibiotic regimen for these patients and overall with small bowel Clostridium involvement this renders a poor prognosis as seen with our patient.

    Biomarker, Journal, BRCA Biomarker, PARP Biomarker:  BLM overexpression as a predictive biomarker for CHK1 inhibitor response in PARP inhibitor-resistant BRCA-mutant ovarian cancer. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 25, 2023   
    P2
    Using high-throughput drug screens, we identified ataxia telangiectasia and rad3-related protein/checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) pathway inhibitors as cytotoxic and further validated the activity of the CHK1 inhibitor (CHK1i) prexasertib in PARPi-sensitive and -resistant BRCA-mutant HGSC cells and xenograft mouse models...BRCA reversion mutation in previously PARPi-treated BRCA-mutant patients was not associated with resistance to CHK1i. Our findings suggest that replication fork-related genes should be further evaluated as biomarkers for CHK1i sensitivity in patients with BRCA-mutant HGSC.

    We found that in vitro MICs of OMC against Chinese and American isolates were distinct. Evaluations in in vivo models of M. abscessus disease or in the clinical setting will provide more accurate insight into potency of OMC against distinct isolates.

    strains, including colistin-resistant ones, at 4xMIC of colistin. Although we did not observe synergistic interactions with eravacycline-meropenem or eravacycline-ceftazidime combinations, we did not observe antagonism with any combination tested.This study's findings could have important implications for antimicrobial therapy with tested antibiotics.

    The potential clinical utility of bacteriophage for compassionate use in treating S. maltophilia infections remains to be determined since data is limited to in-vitro and sparse in-vivo work. This article provides a review of available literature for S. maltophilia infection management focused on related epidemiology, resistance mechanisms, identification, susceptibility testing, antimicrobial PK/PD, and emerging therapeutic strategies.

    Furthermore, other agents are in advanced development, having reached phase 3 clinical trials, namely, aztreonam-avibactam, cefepime-enmetazobactam, cefepime-taniborbactam, cefepime-zidebactam, sulopenem, tebipenem, and benapenem. In this present review, we critically discuss the characteristics of the above-mentioned antimicrobials, their pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties and the current clinical data.

    However, it should be noted that data currently available on the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of antimicrobial agents pertain mostly to lower-risk patients with cIAIs. Initiation date: Oct 2022 --> Jun 2023

    In addition, the time-kill curves showed that the bactericidal effect of eravacycline was stronger than that of tigecycline against four different types of isolates. Our research indicated that eravacycline had a good antibacterial effect on CRGNB, which could provide a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of drug-resistant bacterial infections in the future.

    We present a case of florid septic shock causing rapid hemodynamic compromise from spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) secondary to carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumanii (CRAB) in an immunocompromised patient.Case: A 28 year-old female with a history of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) secondary to lupus nephritis on mycophenylate and calciphylaxis on sodium thiosulphate (STS) presented from facility with lethargy after prolonged hospitalization for sepsis secondary to Pseudomonas infection treated with ceftazidime...Peritoneal fluid cell counts suggested SBP, prompting treatment with meropenem...Gentamycin and micafungin were added however the patient further decompensated and expired within 24 hours...Options include cefiderocol, polymyxin B and colistin, minocycline, eravacycline, high dose ampicillin-sulbactam and combinations of these agents in severe infection, guided by sensitivities and organ function. Limited therapeutics and the ubiquity of multi-drug resistant organisms require ICU providers be vigilant in promptly identifying risk factors for infection to avoid sudden and rapid decline in affected patients.

    This study provides the MIC and susceptibility rate of eravacycline for common Enterobacterales. Eravacycline could be a therapeutic choice for cefotaxime non-susceptible or meropenem non-susceptible Enterobacterales, especially K. oxytoca, C. freundii, and E. coli.

    The combination of Trifluridine/Tipiracil and a WEE1 inhibitor is an effective and tolerable candidate strategy against ESCC (Section 17; Poster Board #16) -  Mar 14, 2023 - Abstract #AACR2023AACR_8339;    
    CHK1 inhibitor was considered to be the candidate, because combination treatment with FTD/TPI and prexasertib showed potent antitumor effects in p53-mutant ESCC cells through the synthetic lethality (Ohashi S, et al. FTD/TPI and WEE1i combination showed potent cytotoxicity, and is considered as a candidate treatment strategy against ESCC.
  • ||||||||||  telaglenastat (CB-839) / Calithera, prexasertib (ACR-368) / Acrivon Therap
    Glutaminase inhibition induces replication stress in ovarian cancer cells and inhibition of replication checkpoint causes synthetic lethality (Section 38; Poster Board #14) -  Mar 14, 2023 - Abstract #AACR2023AACR_7078;    
    Furthermore, CB839 and Prexasertib combination was more synergistic in cells that expressed high GLS compared to low GLS-expressing OC cells indicating the specificity of the combination of these drugs. Together, our studies identified a novel connection between metabolic and DNA damage checkpoint pathways in OC and propose a novel synergistic lethality-based combination therapy to treat chemo-resistant and aggressive OC.

    PARG inhibition augments CHK1 inhibitor-induced replication stress and synergistically kills ovarian cancer cells (Section 14; Poster Board #3) -  Mar 14, 2023 - Abstract #AACR2023AACR_4889;    
    Together, these results indicate that this combination treatment cause persistence of heavy PARylation at DNA damage sites abrogates cell cycle checkpoint mechanisms, exhausts cellular NAD+ levels, and inhibits DNA repair leading to the metabolic and mitotic collapse of cancer cells and synergistic lethality in OC cells. Currently, prexasertib is under clinical trials and our studies will provide novel mechanistic insight into the therapeutic potential of this combination and provides preclinical evidence to develop further this combination therapy in treating OC.

    Discovery of a novel and oral CHK1 inhibitor for the treatment of solid tumors (Section 17; Poster Board #13) -  Mar 14, 2023 - Abstract #AACR2023AACR_2543;    
    Prexasertib (LY2606368), one of the few agents to undergo clinical trials, specifically inhibits both CHK1 and CHK2, displaying obvious therapeutic effects but also raising inevitable target-associated drug toxicities and a potential compliance issue due to intravenous administration...Moreover, the combination of XS-02 and olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, accelerated tumor regression, which synergy was confirmed in a patient-derived tumor xenograft animal model of acquired resistance to olaparib, without significant body weight changes...These results support the agent as a clinical candidate for the treatment of solid tumors. An Investigational New Drug application is planned for 2023.
