[VIRTUAL] The Functional GRHL3-FLG Axis Predicts Targeted Therapy Response in Head and Neck Cancer () - Feb 8, 2021 - Abstract #TAT2021TAT_142; To date, in addition to the non-selective conventional HNSCC treatments, such as chemotherapies and surgeries, the only FDA-approved targeted therapy Cetuximab, an epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor, has a low response rate with considerable toxicity...Moreover, the loss of FLG in sensitive HNSCC cells resulted in a dramatic resistance to targeted therapies while the GRHL3hi-FLGwt signature predicted a favourable patient's prognosis. Conclusions Functional differentiation (GRHL3hi-FLGwt) provides the first example of differentiation-dependent therapy response and establishes a rationale for clinical investigation of differentiation-paired targeted therapy that may improve outcomes in HNSCC and other heterogeneous cancers.

Journal, Adverse events: Palliative chemotherapy in head and neck cancer: balancing between beneficial and adverse effects. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 5, 2021 In patients with PD-L1 CPS < 20, pembrolizumab/cisplatin/5FU or cisplatin/5FU/cetuximab (EXTREME) may be considered based on affordability and availability. Options available that have a lower toxicity and can help to maintain the patient's QOL include; single agent chemotherapy, carboplatin/paclitaxel combination chemotherapy, sequential combination chemotherapy followed by cetuximab, replacing 5FU with docetaxel (TPEx regime) and OMCT.

[VIRTUAL] Human IgE monoclonal antibodies define the molecular basis of red meat allergy () - Feb 3, 2021 - Abstract #AAAAI2021AAAAI_1261; Isolated IgE mAbs were tested for binding to alpha-gal using ImmunoCAP, bovine thyroglobulin, and cetuximab, and their epitopes mapped using a 600 glycan microarray developed by the Consortium for Functional Glycomics. Results We isolated two IgE mAbs specific to the alpha-gal allergen from a subject with red meat allergy...The two antibody sequences exhibit a significant degree of somatic hypermutation, bind to alpha-gal allergens, and exhibit different fine specificity for glycan epitopes involving both classical alpha-gal (Galα1-3Gal) and non-alpha-gal moieties. Conclusions We have generated the first human hybridomas secreting naturally-occurring alpha-gal specific IgE mAbs from a subject with red meat allergy . The goal of our work is to improve upon our molecular understanding of the human IgE antibody response, which will provide insights needed for the design of better immunotherapies and allergy vaccines.

[VIRTUAL] Evaluation of Alpha Gal in Vaccines and Medications using a Human Monoclonal IgE Antibody () - Feb 3, 2021 - Abstract #AAAAI2021AAAAI_821; Once standardizations are complete, our assay can be used to evaluate and quantify alpha-gal in medications and vaccinations. We anticipate that Human FcεRI transgenic alpha-gal knock out mice will demonstrate anaphylaxis to cetuximab and other alpha-gal containing products when our IgE mAb is administered prior to drug challenge in an in vivo model. Conclusions Alpha gal-specific human IgE mAbs from subjects with red meat allergy have the potential for use to evaluate and quantify alpha-gal antigen in current and novel therapeutics.
