Journal: mTOR inhibitor everolimus reduces invasiveness of melanoma cells. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 5, 2020 Slightly less profound reduction of invasiveness was obtained for the combinations of an mTOR inhibitor-everolimus with ERK1/2 inhibitor-U126 or MEK inhibitor-AS-703026 and in the case of MMPs activity decrease for PI3 K inhibitor-LY294002 and AKT inhibitor-MK-2206. The simultaneous use of everolimus or another new generation rapalog with selected inhibitors of crucial signaling kinases seems to be a promising concept in cancer treatment.

Journal: Metformin and Everolimus: A Promising Combination for Neuroendocrine Tumors Treatment. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 5, 2020 The simultaneous use of everolimus or another new generation rapalog with selected inhibitors of crucial signaling kinases seems to be a promising concept in cancer treatment. Considering the promising effects of the everolimus and metformin combination in NET cells, our results provide a rationale for its use in NET patients.

Review, Journal: Fasting and rapamycin: diabetes versus benevolent glucose intolerance. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 2, 2020 No hyperglycemic effects of rapamycin/everolimus have been detected in healthy people. For antiaging purposes, rapamycin/everolimus can be administrated intermittently (e.g., once a week) in combination with intermittent carbohydrate restriction, physical exercise, and metformin.

Clinical, P2 data, Journal: Evaluation of Miracle Mouthwash plus Hydrocortisone Versus Prednisolone Mouth Rinses as Prophylaxis for Everolimus-Associated Stomatitis: A Randomized Phase II Study. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 29, 2020 This prospective phase-II study showed that two steroid-containing mouthrinses substantially reduced incidences of all-grade and grade ≥2 stomatitis and related oral adverse events (AEs), and the number of everolimus dose-delays and/or dose-reduction in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients receiving everolimus treatment plus an aromatase inhibitor. Both oral rinses were well tolerated and demonstrated similar efficacy.Prophylactic use of steroid mouth rinse provides a cost-effective option that substantially decreases the incidence and severity of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor-associated stomatitis and related oral AEs as well as the need for dose modification in MBC patients undergoing treatment with an mTOR inhibitor.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 22, 2020 P1, P2, P3 Here, we report a PK-PD translational approach to identify a molecular prognostic biomarker signature based on the correlation with nivolumab clearance in patients with RCC. This composite biomarker signature may provide improved prognostic accuracy of long-term clinical outcome compared with individual cytokine features and could be used to ensure the balance of patient randomization in RCC clinical trials.

Journal: Hyperactivation of TORC1 Drives Resistance to the Pan-HER Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Neratinib in HER2-Mutant Cancers. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 22, 2020 RNA and whole-exome sequencing revealed RAS-mediated TORC1 activation in a subset of neratinib-resistant models. DNA sequencing of HER2-mutant tumors clinically refractory to neratinib, as well as circulating tumor DNA profiling of patients who progressed on neratinib, showed enrichment of genomic alterations that converge to activate the mTOR pathway.
