Journal: STAT3/HOTAIR signaling axis regulates HNSCC growth in an EZH2-dependent manner. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 24, 2019 Our results suggest that STAT3 signaling promotes HNSCC progression via regulating HOTAIR and pEZH2-S21 in HNSCC with PI3K overexpression/activation. These findings provide a rationale to target the STAT3/HOTAIR/pEZH2-S21 regulatory axis for treating patients with HNSCC.

Journal: The ERBB receptor inhibitor dacomitinib suppresses proliferation and invasion of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 23, 2019 At current prices nivolumab has an ICER of around CHF 100,000 per QALY gained in the second line treatment of r/mHNSCC patients in Switzerland. Our findings indicate that dacomitinib-mediated blockade of the ERBB receptors yields advantages over single-targeted ERBB inhibition and provide a rationale for further investigation of the therapeutic potential of dacomitinib in the treatment of ERBB-driven PDAC.

Journal: Systemic therapy for advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 23, 2019 Despite these advances, the preferred regimen for systemic treatment of cSCC remains unclear, particularly in immunocompromised populations. Herein we provide a review of the literature supporting the use of these modalities and a discussion of their clinical utility.

Review, Journal: Alpha-Gal-containing biologics and anaphylaxis. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 23, 2019 Investigations of cetuximab-related anaphylaxis have revealed three novel findings that improve our understanding of immediate-type allergy: 1) oligosaccharide can serve as the main IgE epitope of anaphylaxis; 2) because of the oligosaccharide epitope, a wide range of cross-reactivity with mammalian meats containing α-Gal similar to cetuximab occurs; and 3) tick bites are a crucial factor of sensitization to the oligosaccharide. Nonetheless, taking a medical history of tick bites and beef allergy may be insufficient to prevent cetuximab-induced anaphylaxis, and therefore blood testing with an α-Gal-specific IgE test, with high sensitivity and specificity, is necessary to detect sensitization to α-Gal.

PK/PD data, Journal, HEOR: An evaluation of cetuximab dosing strategies using pharmacokinetics and cost analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 23, 2019 Nonetheless, taking a medical history of tick bites and beef allergy may be insufficient to prevent cetuximab-induced anaphylaxis, and therefore blood testing with an α-Gal-specific IgE test, with high sensitivity and specificity, is necessary to detect sensitization to α-Gal. Cost-effectiveness of cetuximab treatment can be improved with alternative strategies by reducing wastage without compromising exposure.

(Pubmed Central) - Dec 22, 2019 Herein we provide updates in treatment options for patients with BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC, focusing on the practice-changing BEACON-triplet regimen, the first chemotherapy-free combination regimen for mCRC. This combination is being explored frontline in the ANCHOR clinical trial.

Journal: STING activation enhances cetuximab-mediated NK cell activation and DC maturation and correlates with HPVstatus in head and neck cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 21, 2019 Future trials should concentrate on patients at the highest risk of distant metastasis in order to appropriately assess the benefit of ICT. Our findings suggest a novel role of STING in HPV-related carcinogenesis, in which activation of the STING signaling pathway may facilitate anti-tumor response in HNSCC patients, particularly in combination with therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) such as cetuximab, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor.

Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck: A systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis of the currently available treatment options. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 21, 2019 In terms of OS Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with cisplatin (HR 0.70, 95% CrI [credible interval] 0.62-0.78) and cetuximab on top of CCRT (HR 0.7, 95% CrI 0.5-0.97) are clearly superior to conventional RT alone...Regarding PFS, CCRT with cisplatin (HR 0.72, 95% CrI 0.63-0.83), cisplatin and fluorouracil (HR 0.67, 95% CrI 0.5-0.88), carboplatin (HR 0.63, 95% CrI 0.46-0.87), carboplatin and fluorouracil (HR 0.75, 95% CrI 0.56-1), IC with cisplatin and fluorouracil (HR 0.59, 95% CrI 0.45-0.78), IC with docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil (HR 0.53, 95% CrI 0.41-0.68) and IC with paclitaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil (HR 0.59, 95% CrI 0.35-0.99) are superior to conventional RT and altered fractionation RT...Altered fractionation RT is inferior to CCRT and also does not seem to be meaningfully better than conventionally fractionated RT alone. Its role in locally advanced disease should be reevaluated.

Journal: MET activation confers resistance to cetuximab, and prevents HER2 and HER3 upregulation in head and neck cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 21, 2019 Mechanistically, we showed that the overexpression of HER2 and HER3 following cetuximab treatment is mediated by the ETS homologous transcription factor (EHF), and is suppressed by MET/MAPK pathway activation. Collectively, our findings indicate that evaluation of MET and HER2/HER3 in response to cetuximab in HNSCC patients can provide the rationale of successive line of treatment.

Based on the observed efficacy and safety, pembrolizumab plus platinum and 5-fluorouracil is an appropriate first-line treatment for recurrent or metastatic HNSCC and pembrolizumab monotherapy is an appropriate first-line treatment for PD-L1-positive recurrent or metastatic HNSCC.
