(Pubmed Central) - Aug 14, 2021 P3 Our results show that cabozantinib significantly prolongs progression-free survival and might provide a new treatment option for patients with radioiodine-refractory DTC who have no available standard of care.

Preclinical, Journal: Combined computational and cellular screening identifies synergistic inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 by lenvatinib and remdesivir. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 13, 2021 Here, we used high-throughput docking to screen 6000 compounds within the DrugBank library for their potential to bind and inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 3 CL main protease, a chymotrypsin-like enzyme that is essential for viral replication...Lenvatinib is a broadly-acting host receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor, but the synergistic effect with remdesivir was not observed with other approved RTK inhibitors (such as pazopanib or sunitinib), suggesting that the mechanism-of-action is independent of host RTKs...Our work shows that combining computational and cellular screening is a means to identify existing drugs with repurposing potential as antiviral compounds. Future studies could be aimed at understanding and optimizing the lenvatinib/remdesivir synergistic mechanism as a therapeutic option.

Journal, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: The multi-kinase inhibitor lenvatinib interacts with the HDAC inhibitor entinostat to kill liver cancer cells. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 11, 2021 P1 Knock down of HDACs1/2/3 prevented the lenvatinib and entinostat combination from regulating PD-L1 and MHCA expression. Collectively, our data demonstrate that lenvatinib and entinostat interact to kill liver cancer cells via ROS-dependent activation of ATM and inactivation of eIF2α, resulting in greater levels of toxic autophagosome formation and reduced expression of protective mitochondrial proteins.

[VIRTUAL] Molecular markers of response to anti-PD1 therapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma () - Aug 6, 2021 - Abstract #ILCA2021ILCA_70; We identified an 11-gene signature of response to anti-PD1 therapy in first line advanced HCC, which was validated in other solid tumors. This signature did not identify responders after TKI treatment, thus calling for the need of biopsies prior to anti-PD1 therapy to enable biomarker-based precision oncology.

[VIRTUAL] Genetic Testing, Treatment Patterns, and Clinical Outcomes Among Patients With Advanced/Metastatic Medullary Thyroid Cancer in the United States: A Retrospective Medical Record Review Study () - Aug 3, 2021 - Abstract #AHNS2021AHNS_655; For the treatment of advanced/metastatic MTC, no specific preference of sequencing systemic agents was observed in the first- and second-line settings. The estimated OS is consistent with that observed from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database for patients with de novo metastatic MTC.

Journal: EGFR Inhibitors Synergize with Lenvatinib for Liver Cancer Treatment. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 1, 2021 The estimated OS is consistent with that observed from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database for patients with de novo metastatic MTC. EGFR inhibition and lenvatinib exhibit synthetic lethality in hepatocellular carcinoma.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 28, 2021 TKI-IO combinations, particularly N+P and N+C, are well tolerated and efficacious. Although further prospective research is essential, slow disease progression on IO or TKI monotherapy may be safely controlled with addition of either TKI or IO.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 28, 2021 Furthermore, combination of adavosertib with lenvatinib was more effective than either agent alone in a xenograft model of follicular thyroid cancer. These results show that adavosertib has the potential in treating DTC.
