Combination of the next generation oral SERD camizestrant (AZD9833) with CDK4/6 and mTOR/AKT inhibitors delivers robust efficacy in a broad range of ER+ breast tumors (Stars at Night Ballroom 3&4) - Oct 10, 2022 - Abstract #SABCS2022SABCS_239; To explore camizestrant combination potential as a backbone ET, camizestrant was partnered with either palbociclib or abemaciclib in CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) naïve and resistant in vitro and in vivo models...Camizestrant delivered enhanced efficacy when combined with mTORC1 inhibitor everolimus and AKT inhibitor capivasertib in CTC-174, an ESR1m and PI3KCAm tumor model...These preclinical data demonstrate the potential of camizestrant to become the backbone ET, with high combinability in vivo with inhibitors of CDK4/6, mTOR and AKT. These combinations demonstrate the opportunity to impact care of patients with early and metastatic ER+BC, delivering benefit to broad patient populations including those with ESR1wt or ESR1m tumors, independent of PI3K/AKT/PTEN pathway mutation status, and in patients with both CDK4/6i sensitive and resistant tumors.

Journal: Stability Indicating Methods for Determination of Third Generation Antiepileptic Drugs and Their Related Substances. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 7, 2022 A number of these antiepileptic drugs were found to have had a small number of studies related to their stability and for the detection of impurities. The presentation of the current level of research on third generation antiepileptic drugs highlights the need for new stability and safety studies that are necessary to develop new pharmaceutical products containing these drugs.

In addition, plasma therapy was administered, and the immunosuppressive regimen was adjusted (everolimus was interrupted, mycophenolate mofetil reduced, and meprednisone increased). Finally, the patient's progress was favorable and was discharged after five days on oral itraconazole treatment for histoplasmosis.

Preclinical, Journal: Molecular pathways enhance drug response prediction using transfer learning from cell lines to tumors and patient-derived xenografts. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 5, 2022 Using feature importance, we highlight the association between ER-Golgi trafficking pathway in everolimus sensitivity within breast cancer patients and the role of class II histone deacetylases and interlukine-12 in response to drugs for triple-negative breast cancer. Pathway information support transfer of drug response prediction models from cell lines to tumors and can provide biological interpretation underlying the predictions, serving as a steppingstone towards usage in clinical setting.

Immunogenicity of the AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines in a South Australian cohort of immunocompromised liver transplant recipients () - Oct 4, 2022 - Abstract #AGW2022AGW_373; A third dose improves the immunogenicity of the COVID-19 vaccines in healthy controls as well as in LT recipients. Of note, those receiving double or triple immunosuppressive regimens mount a lower response, potentially attributed to the use of azathioprine and mycophenolate, previously associated with lower seroconversion rates.

Although the triple therapy in terms of CNI + antimet/mTOR + steroids was widely dispensed for all settings (63.7% for kidney, 33.5% for liver, 53.3% for heart, and 63.7% for lung), differences in the active agents involved were detected. The CESIT network represents a great opportunity to study several aspects related to the use, safety, and effectiveness of post-transplant maintenance immunosuppressive therapy in real practice.

Review, Journal: Phytochemicals That Interfere With Drug Metabolism and Transport, Modifying Plasma Concentration in Humans and Animals. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 29, 2022 Interactions between Pchs and drugs affect the gene expression and enzymatic activity of CYP3A and P-gp transporter, which has an impact on their bioavailability; such that co-administration of drugs with food, beverages and food supplements can cause a subtherapeutic effect or overdose. Therefore, it is important for the clinician to consider these interactions to obtain a better therapeutic effect.

Future studies should focus on the direct comparison of different second-line treatment in real-world populations.
- |||||||||| Combined pharmacological and genetic screening to identify dependencies and combinations in ACVR1-mutant diffuse midline glioma (Ballroom A) - Sep 28, 2022 - Abstract #SNO2022SNO_1378;
Recently we reported that combinatorial treatment of ACVR1-mutant DIPG cells with vandetanib (RTK inhibitor) and everolimus (mTOR/ABC transporter inhibitor) was synergistic both in vitro and in vivo and was shown to be a feasible combination to trial clinically in this setting...Using a panel of 13 patient-derived ACVR1-mutant models (and 6 wild-type controls), we identified synergy between multiple chemotypes of ALK2i (M4K2009/LDN-214117) and PI3K/mTOR (AZD8055/everolimus) and MEK inhibitors (trametinib), reflecting the common co-segregation of PIK3CA/PIK3R1 alterations in these tumours...Additional hits include the serine/threonine kinase PKMYT1, a negative regulator of the G2/M checkpoint via a functionally redundant phosphorylation of CDK1/CCNB1 alongside WEE1; confirmatory drug assays with the WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 resulted in a synergistic interaction with ALK2i in ACVR1-mutant cells...Preliminary pathway enrichment analysis (MAGeCKFlute) identified ALK2i-specific vulnerabilities involving TGFB1/SMAD signalling and histone deacetylation. These data highlight functionally rational and novel combinatorial possibilities for children with ACVR1-mutant DMG, with systematic preclinical assessment required for prioritisation for the clinic.

Preclinical, Journal: Effects of Imatinib Combined With Everolimus on Mouse Pituitary Tumor Cell AtT-20. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 24, 2022 Imatinib combined with everolimus can affect the AtT-20 cell cycle through the signaling pathway of the phosphatidylin-ositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/ protein kinase A (PKA) system and can inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis. Therefore, Imatinib and everolimus may be an effective combination of candidates for drugs for mouse pituitary tumor.
