Review, Journal: Daily Management of Patients on Multikinase Inhibitors' Treatment. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 23, 2022 The follow-up visits should take place at monthly intervals until the sixth month and then every 1-2 months until the completion of the first year of treatment. The flow chart followed at our tertiary center is reported in the present review as a real-life-based example for the follow-up of patients with advanced TC on MKI treatment.

Preclinical, Journal: Comparative Response of HCC Cells to TKIs: Modified in vitro Testing and Descriptive Expression Analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 20, 2022 To this aim, the sensitivity of nine HCC cell lines to sorafenib, lenvatinib, regorafenib, and cabozantinib was evaluated by a prolonged treatment scheme to determine their respective growth rate inhibition concentrations (GR)...Subgroup analysis of TKI effectiveness showed distinct transcriptomic profiles and signaling pathways associated with responsiveness. This prompts more extensive studies to explore and validate pharmacogenomic and transcriptomic strategies for a personalized treatment approach, particularly after the failure of CPI treatment.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 15, 2022 In patients with a targetable abnormality, specific inhibitors, might be used as first line treatment and lenvatinib as second line or vice-versa. Further studies are needed, based on documented genomic and immunologic characteristics of the tumor to assess the potential role of combination and redifferentiation therapy.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 15, 2022 Pembrolizumab-lenvatinib combination gave a marginal benefit in terms of OS, PFS and DoR relative to pembrolizumab-axitinib group. By relying on individual survival data, we provided a level-1a evidence supporting the use of pembrolizumab plus TKI for first-line aRCC treatment.

Journal: Combined inhibition of FGFR4 and VEGFR signaling enhances efficacy in FGF19 driven hepatocellular carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 13, 2022 Mechanistic studies showed that the combination resulted in enhanced efficacy through increased anti-angiogenic and anti-tumorigenic activities. Overall, our results indicate that this combination can be a highly effective treatment option for FGF19 driven HCC patients, and provide preclinical validation of a combination that can be readily tested in the clinical setting.

Journal, Checkpoint inhibition, Mismatch repair, Tumor Mutational Burden, MSi-H Biomarker, IO biomarker: Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Mismatch Repair Status in Advanced Endometrial Cancer: Elective Affinities. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 11, 2022 However, several questions remain to be addressed, including the identification of patients who may benefit from the addition of ICIs as well as those who do not need immunotherapy. In the current paper, we provide an overview of the clinical development of immunotherapy in advanced or recurrent EC, discussing the role of MMR and the "elective affinities" between ICIs and this predictive biomarker in this setting.

Lenvatinib, sorafenib, cabozantinib, apatinib, gefitinib, regorafenib, and anlotinib rendered good linearity over the range of 0.1-10 ng/ml, and 1-100 ng/ml for tivantinib and galunisertib...The method was deemed satisfactory with an accuracy of -7.34-6.64%, selectivity, matrix effect (ME) of 90.48-107.77%, recovery, and stability. The proposed method is simple, efficient, reliable, and applicable for the detection of TKIs in human plasma samples as well as for providing a reference for the clinical adjustment of drug administration regimen by monitoring the drug concentrations in the plasma of patients.
