BELZUTIFAN-INDUCED HYPERSENSITIVITY PNEUMONITIS (Convention Center Exhibit Hall: Poster Area) - Sep 11, 2022 - Abstract #CHEST2022CHEST_3979; Her cancer diagnosis was established in 2019 and had undergone cytoreductive nephrectomy and treatment with axitinib/pembrolizumab...Due to further disease progression, she was transitioned to lenvatinib/everolimus, though the treatment was discontinued due to anorexia and worsening pulmonary symptoms...She was covered with azithromycin/ceftriaxone along with high-dose steroids and was admitted to the stepdown unit for further management... We report the only known case of Belzutifan-induced hypersensitivity pneumonitis and hope this case will become a useful contribution to the literature.

Classical drug design studies of sulphonamides, sulfamates and sulfamides afforded low nanomolar mitochondrial CA-selective inhibitors, but detailed antiobesity studies were poorly performed with most of them. A breakthrough in the field may be constituted by the design of hybrids incorporating CAIs and other antiobesity chemotypes.

FGFR IS A RELEVANT MOLECULAR TARGET IN PEDIATRIC AND AYA SARCOMAS () - Sep 9, 2022 - Abstract #CTOS2022CTOS_308; In summary, activating FGFR alterations were found in 18 pediatric sarcomas sequenced through the Profile and GAIN/iCAT2 studies, identifying a population of children with cancer who may be eligible and good candidates for trials evaluating FGFR-targeted therapy. Importantly, the genomic and clinical data from this study can help inform drug development in accordance with the RACE for Children Act.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Angiogenesis in NENs, with a focus on gastroenteropancreatic NENs: from biology to current and future therapeutic implications. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 7, 2022
The HIF-2α inhibitor belzutifan has recently received regulatory approval for the treatment of tumors arising in the context of Von-Hippel Lindau syndrome including pancreatic NENs, and a study of this drug in patients with sporadic tumors is presently ongoing...The potential of antiangiogenic agents in fine-tuning the immune microenvironment of NENs to enhance the activity of immune checkpoint inhibitors has been only partially elucidated, and further research should be carried out at this regard. Here, we review the current understanding of the biology of angiogenesis in NENs and provide a summary of the latest clinical investigations on antiangiogenic drugs in this malignancy.

HCC Recurrence Post Liver Transplant With Rapid Progression in a Patient Presenting With Elevated Transaminases (Crown Ballroom) - Sep 4, 2022 - Abstract #ACG2022ACG_1813; He was later noted to have widespread metastatic disease involving the liver, bones, peritoneum, and left adrenal gland and was started on Lenvatinib...Our case is important as it highlights the unmet needs for systemic therapy in post-transplant patients and the need to maintain a high level of suspicion for rapid progression of diffusely infiltrative cancer in the differential diagnosis for dramatic elevation of the transaminases in select patient populations. Figure: MRI abdomen with and without contrast demonstrating extensive tumor burden of HCC in transplanted liver.
