Clinical data, Retrospective data, Journal, HEOR, Real-World Evidence, BRCA Biomarker: Clinical Outcomes, Treatment Patterns, and Health Resource Utilization Among Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients with Germline BRCA1/2 Mutation: A Real-World Retrospective Study. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 20, 2020 Among HER2- mBC patients, gBRCA testing rates are low. Among gBRCAm HER2- mBC patients, the poor OS and HRU burden observed, especially in patients with TNBC, demonstrate an unmet need for more efficacious, targeted, and less HRU-intensive treatment options.

Journal: Sex hormones modulate pathogenic processes in experimental traumatic brain injury. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 20, 2020 Here, we subjected male and female C57Bl/6N mice to the controlled cortical impact (CCI) model of TBI and applied pharmacological inhibitors of steroid hormone synthesis, that is, letrozole (LET, inhibiting estradiol synthesis by aromatase) and finasteride (FIN, inhibiting dihydrotestosterone synthesis by 5α-reductase), respectively, starting 72 h prior CCI, and continuing for a further 48 h after CCI...Taken together, our data suggest a sex-specific impact on pathogenic processes in the injured brain after TBI. Sex hormones may thus modulate pathogenic processes in experimental TBI.

Preclinical, Journal, IO Biomarker: Therapeutic potential of selenium in letrozole induced polycystic ovary syndrome rat model: Targeting mitochondrial approach. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 18, 2020 Selenium treatment of PCOS rats succeeded, comparable to metformin, to greatly improve the PCOS associated endocrine and metabolic phenotypes and histopathological changes, mostly through modulating mitochondrial dynamics, anti-apoptotic action, alleviating oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. So, selenium could provide a novel therapeutic strategy for PCOS.

A Tale of Unexplained Pneumotoxicity: The Dangers of Palbociclib (PENNSYLVANIA CONVENTION CENTER, Hall D-E (200 Level), Area A) - Mar 15, 2020 - Abstract #ATS2020ATS_6401; An exhaustive laboratory workup was done in order to exclude other causes that may result in diffuse lung injury, including infection, environmental exposure, and malignancy. This should not deter physicians from using palbociclib as a chemotherapeutic agent in patient with advanced stage breast cancer, as the PALOMA-2 trial has shown that combining palbociclib with letrozole can lead to a median progression free survival of thirteen months in patients who are ER-positive and HER2-negative.

Based on these long-term safety analyses, there is no evidence of specific cumulative or delayed toxicities with palbociclib plus endocrine therapy, supporting the ongoing investigation of palbociclib plus endocrine therapy in early breast cancer (NCT02513394).

Preclinical, Journal: Letrozole treatment of pubertal female mice results in activational effects on reproduction, metabolism and the gut microbiome. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 13, 2020 These results suggest that if exposure to excess androgens during puberty leads to the development of PCOS, reduction of androgen levels during this time may improve reproductive and metabolic phenotypes in women with PCOS. These results also imply that continuous letrozole exposure is required to model PCOS in pubertal female mice since letrozole exerts activational rather than organizational effects during puberty.

Journal: ETA-mediated anti-TNF-α therapy ameliorates the phenotype of PCOS model induced by letrozole. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 26, 2020 Furthermore, treatment with TNF-α promoted the production of testosterone in KGN granulosa cells by reducing CYP19A1 expression, whereas ETA treatment blocked this process. In conclusion, anti-TNF-α therapy with ETA may be an efficient method to alleviate PCOS, whose underlying mechanism may be associated with its ability to reduce excessive androgen levels.

Preclinical, Journal: Altering rat sexual behavior to teach hormonal regulation of brain imprinting. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 21, 2020 The model involves administering exogenous testosterone to imprint male behavior in female pups or administration of an aromatase inhibitor (letrozole) or an estrogen receptor antagonist (ICI 182,780) to imprint female sexual behavior in male pups...Alteration of mating behavior is evaluated through the numbers of males and females that breed and establish pregnancy. This is a very simple protocol that provides an excellent experiment for student discussion on the effects of hormone action on imprinting brain sexual behavior.
