A triple combination of fostrox (MIV-818) with immune checkpoint and kinase inhibition shows increased anti-tumor efficacy in vivo (Section 14; Poster Board #27) - Mar 14, 2023 - Abstract #AACR2023AACR_4913; P1/2 The triple combination of fostrox with anti-PD1 and lenvatinib showed enhanced efficacy in a nonclinical tumor model, and changes in TILs were consistent with increased immune-mediated anti-tumor activity. The results indicate a potential for increased anti-tumor efficacy using a triple combination of fostrox plus checkpoint inhibition and anti-angiogenic therapy.1The study was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of CrownBio UK, and conducted in accordance with the regulations of the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC)

Heart-sparing ALK5 inhibitor for treatment of gastrointestinal and liver cancers (Section 18; Poster Board #18) - Mar 14, 2023 - Abstract #AACR2023AACR_3904; No heart valve toxicity was observed when benchmarked against galunisertib (systemic ALK5 inhibitor) in toxicity studies with repeated daily dosing. These data suggest that our liver-targeted/heart-sparing approach may allow more robust target engagement compared to systemic ALK5 inhibitors through higher dose or more frequent dosing.

Reversal of lenvatinib resistance by curcumin via EGFR signaling pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma (Section 21; Poster Board #4) - Mar 14, 2023 - Abstract #AACR2023AACR_3809; Targeting CDK6 with palbociclib in combination with lenvatinib may be a novel therapeutic strategy against HCC. We provide the first evidence that curcumin could overcome lenvatinib resistance in HCC cells via suppression of EGFR and its downstream targets, which can offer a novel therapeutic strategy in HCC.

The potential of 18?-glycyrrhetinic acid benefit lenvatinib induced cytotoxicity on hepatocellular carcinoma (Section 43; Poster Board #18) - Mar 14, 2023 - Abstract #AACR2023AACR_2312; Additionally, the liver function and normal tissue pathology may not affect by combination of lenvatinib and 18?-GA. To conclude, our result demonstrated that 18?-GA may sensitize HCC to lenvatinib via inactivation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and induction of extrinsic/intrinsic apoptosis signaling.

Journal: Genome-Scale CRISPR Screen Identifies LAPTM5 driving lenvatinib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 13, 2023 Importantly, in clinical HCC samples, where lenvatinib was used as the first line or adjuvant therapy, LAPTM5 expression positively correlated with lenvatinib sensitivity, implying it as a biomarker to predict patient response to lenvatinib. In conclusion, the combinational therapy targeting autophagy represented a promising strategy to overcome lenvatinib resistance in HCC, and LAPTM5 expression could provide potential guidance for clinical interference.
