Retrospective data, Journal, Metastases: Lenvatinib Versus Sorafenib in Advanced Hepatic Cell Carcinoma: A Double Center Retrospective Analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 26, 2023 The 3-month AFP ratio of 1.36 may be a potentially useful cutoff for considering a switch to other treatments in patients radiologically diagnosed with stable or progressive disease. Lenvatinib was found to be better than Sorafenib in terms of both survival and toxicity, in advanced hepatic cell carcinoma patients.

Journal, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: Patient-Derived Primary Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Mediate Resistance to Anti-Angiogenic Drug in Ovarian Cancers. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 22, 2023 Ascertaining direct experimental proof of the role of CAFs in developing resistance to specific anti-angiogenic drugs will provide an opportunity to investigate new drugs for counteracting CAF resistance and "normalizing/re-educating" TME in aggressive ovarian cancers. Our data provide a unique experimental tool for the personalized testing of anti-angiogenic drugs, positively predicting the development of future resistance to anti-angiogenic drugs well before it is clinically encountered in patients.

Journal: A Supramolecular Nanoassembly of Lenvatinib and a Green Light-Activatable NO Releaser for Combined Chemo-Phototherapy. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 22, 2023 The supramolecular complex is stable in a culture medium, and its biological activity has been evaluated against HEP-G2 hepatocarcinoma cell lines in the dark and under irradiation with visible green light, using LVB at a concentration well below the IC. Comparative experiments performed using the polymeric host encapsulating the individual LVB and RD-NO components under the same experimental conditions show that the moderate cell mortality induced by the ternary complex in the dark increases significantly upon irradiation with visible green light, more likely as the result of synergism between the NO photogenerated and the chemotherapeutic.

Regorafenib, cabozantinib, and ramucirumab were shown to prolong survival as second-line agents...It also discusses alterations in signaling pathways, dysregulation of apoptosis, modulations in the tumor microenvironment, involvement of cancer stem cells, changes in drug metabolism/transport, tumor hypoxia, DNA repair, and the role of microRNAs in drug resistance. Understanding the interplay among these factors will provide guidance on the development of new therapeutic strategies capable of improving patient outcomes.

Review, Journal, Tumor mutational burden, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: Immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma: how will it reshape treatment sequencing? (Pubmed Central) - Jan 17, 2023 After ICIs, offering multikinase inhibitors is a widespread approach, either shifting forward sorafenib or lenvatinib, or choosing among regorafenib or cabozantinib, already approved in the refractory setting...Despite the tissue remaining a preferred source, biomarkers discovery could take advantage of liquid biopsy to overcome the matter of tissue availability and track tumor changes. Lastly, tumor genetic phenotypes, tumor microenvironment features, gut microbiome, and markers of immune response and systemic inflammation are all potential emergent predictors of response to ICIs, pending validation in the clinical setting.

Biomarker, Journal: Artificial intelligence based on serum biomarkers predicts the efficacy of lenvatinib for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 12, 2023 With baseline biomarkers using a decision tree-based model, we identified patients with high, intermediate, and low ORRs (84.6%, 21.7% and 0%, respectively; odds ratio, 53.04, P < 0.001, high versus intermediate/low groups). Based on the decision tree-based survival predictive model, baseline AFP was the most important factor for OS, followed by ALBI grade and FGF21.
