Biomarker, Clinical, Journal: Mutation analysis using cell-free DNA for endocrine therapy in patients with HR+ metastatic breast cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 16, 2021 In contrast, PIK3CA mutations were significantly associated with longer TTP in patients receiving EverX treatment (median TTP of EverX: 15.9 months vs. 5.2 months, p = 0.01) and remained a significant factor in multivariable analysis for TTP of EverX in this subgroup (hazard ratio = 0.2, 95% CI = 0.1- 0.8, p = 0.03). ESR1 and PIK3CA mutations in cfDNA were associated with clinical efficacies of ET in HR+ MBC patients.

Review, Journal: Chemotherapy in NEN: still has a role? (Pubmed Central) - Dec 16, 2021 Nevertheless, chemotherapy remains an essential component of the treatment armamentarium of patients with NENs, particularly of patients with P-NETs or those with bulky, symptomatic or rapidly progressive tumors (generally G3 or high-G2 NENs). In this manuscript we will comprehensively review available evidence related to the use of chemotherapy in lung and GEP NENs and will critically discuss its role in the treatment algorithm of this family of neoplasms.

Review, Journal: The role and transformative potential of IL-19 in atherosclerosis. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 16, 2021 Several other drugs have also been investigated in clinical trials as anti-inflammatory agents; the development of some of these agents has been terminated (canakinumab, darapladib, varespladib, losmapimod, atreleuton, setileuton, PF-04191834, veliflapon, and methotrexate), but others remain in development (ziltivekimab, tocilizumab, Somalix, IFM-2427, anakinra, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), colchicine, everolimus, allopurinol, and montelukast)...We propose that IL-19 is a promising biomarker and target for the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis. This review considers the role and mechanism of action of IL-19 in atherosclerosis and discusses whether IL-19 is a potential therapeutic target for this condition.

Journal, IO biomarker: Chemotherapy and targeted therapies for meningiomas: what is the evidence? (Pubmed Central) - Dec 16, 2021 In recurrent high-grade meningioma, everolimus-octreotide combination, bevacizumab, sunitinib and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy exhibit a signal of activity that may justify their clinical use. Despite a lack of clear signal of activity to date, immunotherapy may offer new perspectives in the treatment of these refractory tumors.

Journal: Everolimus accelerates Erastin and RSL3-induced ferroptosis in renal cell carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 16, 2021 Moreover, the forced expression of GPX4 abrogated ferroptosis induced by the combined treatment of Everolimus and RSL3/Erastin. Taken together, these results demonstrated that Everolimus in combination with RSL3/Erastin is a promising therapeutic option for RCC treatment and it may also help to overcome the limitation in clinical applicability of Everolimus.

The findings from this study suggest that a range of efficient therapies with different safety profiles is available for people with NETs.

Journal: Non-synaptic Cell-Autonomous Mechanisms Underlie Neuronal Hyperactivity in a Genetic Model of PIK3CA-Driven Intractable Epilepsy. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 14, 2021 Finally, we report that acute inhibition of PI3K or AKT, but not MTOR activity, suppresses the intrinsic hyperactivity of the mutant neurons. These acute mechanisms are distinct from those causing neuronal hyperactivity in other AKT-MTOR epileptic models and define parameters to facilitate the development of new molecularly rational therapeutic interventions for intractable epilepsy.

Clinical, Journal: Low-Dose Everolimus Maintenance Therapy for Renal Angiomyolipoma Associated With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 14, 2021 Adverse events (AEs) were significantly less severe and less frequent over the course of maintenance therapy relative to standard therapy. Low-dose everolimus maintenance therapy represents an effective approach to achieving TSC-RAML control following a minimum of 6 months of full-dose induction therapy, and may be associated with decreases in everolimus-related AE frequency and severity.

Treatment with further TKIs or mTOR inhibitors for mRCC patients primarily refractory to first-line sunitinib in the observed time period achieved very minimal benefit, suggesting avoiding TKI rechallenge and possibly preferring alternative strategies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, after PD to a treatment line including a TKI in this setting.
