In the phase 3 ZIRCON trial, [89Zr]Zr-girentuximab positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) detected the presence of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) with a sensitivity of 86% and a specificity of 87% in patients with an indeterminate renal mass undergoing nephrectomy.1 This imaging technique could be a promising tool that could revolutionize the management of small renal masses (SRMs) and ccRCC.

Journal: Drug-induced noninfectious myocarditis: a disproportionality analysis of the FAERS database. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 29, 2024 Disproportionality analysis revealed that the top 5 drugs by ROR were phendimetrazine tartrate (ROR 104.64), trimethoprim?+?sulfamethoxazole (ROR 67.65), aldesleukin (ROR 52.67), mesalazine (ROR 49.73), and balsalazide disodium (ROR 45.26)...Through comprehensive analysis of the FAERS database, our study identified drugs with a strong signal for myocarditis that are not currently indicated on their labels. The findings suggest that the potential risk of myocarditis associated with these medications is significant and warrants close monitoring in clinical practice.

Synergistic tumor clearing effect of a novel long-acting IL-2 analog, HM16390, in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors in a cold tumor syngeneic animal models (Exhibit Halls AB - George R. Brown Convention Center) - Oct 4, 2024 - Abstract #SITC2024SITC_1403; In contrast, daily aldesleukin did not induce significant immune infiltration compared to HM16390, and TIL infiltration on day 8 was similar to that of vehicle...Anti-PD-1 as monotherapy or in combination with paclitaxel exerted only marginal tumor growth inhibition (TGI) against 4T1 tumor...The limited anti-tumor efficacy of another major CPI, anti-CTLA4 (TGI 50% without cured mice), also demonstrated synergism when combined with HM16390 (TGI 90%, more than 40% of mice cured) in 4T1 mice. Conclusions These studies support that HM16390 could be an ideal combination partner for both anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA4 antibodies, whose mode of actions are considered different, through significant modulation of the TME toward an immune favorable state.

Attacking carbonic anhydrase IX as a gateway to remodeling tumor hypoxia (Exhibit Halls AB - George R.

Furthermore, our mCAIX mAbs bind to the hypoxic T cell suppressive stroma in B16/BL6 melanoma, warranting further studies to assess its therapeutic cooperativity with ICB.

The results support a potential of radiolabelled Girentuximab as a theranostic agent in non-renal cancer indications and demonstrate that in addition to efficient tumour targeting intrinsic tumour radiosensitivity or effects on tumour stroma might play a role in determining tumour responses.

Review, Journal: Molecular imaging for non-invasive risk stratification of renal masses. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 2, 2024 On the other end of the spectrum, carbonic anhydrase IX agents, most notably the monoclonal antibody girentuximab - which can be labeled with positron emission tomography radionuclides such as zirconium-89 - are effective at identifying renal masses that are likely to be aggressive clear cell renal cell carcinomas...The combination of molecular imaging and biopsy in selected patients with other advanced imaging methods, such as artificial intelligence/machine learning and the abstraction of radiomics features, offers the optimal way forward for maximization of the information to be gained from risk stratification of indeterminate renal masses. With the proper application of those methods, inappropriately aggressive therapy for benign and indolent renal masses may be curtailed.
