[VIRTUAL] Palbociclib-induced Interstitial Granulomatous Dermatitis: A Case Report () - Dec 2, 2020 - Abstract #ASDP2020ASDP_326; Drug-induced IGD has been reported in patients treated with TNF inhibitors, PD-1 inhibitors, ACE inhibitors and furosemide...A 57-year-old female with a past medical history of metastatic breast cancer treated with anastrozole and palbociclib for one year, presented with a 5-month history of a pruritic rash...To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of IGD induced by palbociclib in the literature. It is important for clinicians to be aware of this cutaneous complication as palbociclib is increasingly being used for the treatment of advanced breast cancer.

Reimbursement, Journal, Medicaid: The effect of Medicaid expansion on prescriptions for breast cancer hormonal therapy medications. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 26, 2020 It is important for clinicians to be aware of this cutaneous complication as palbociclib is increasingly being used for the treatment of advanced breast cancer. Medicaid expansion may have had a meaningful impact on the ability of lower-income women to access effective hormonal therapies used to treat breast cancer.

Biomarker, Clinical, P3 data, Journal: Long-term outcome and prognostic value of Ki67 after perioperative endocrine therapy in postmenopausal women with hormone-sensitive early breast cancer (POETIC): an open-label, multicentre, parallel-group, randomised, phase 3 trial. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 26, 2020 P3 POAI has not been shown to improve treatment outcome, but can be used without detriment to help select appropriate adjuvant therapy based on tumour Ki67. Most patients with low Ki67 or low POAI-induced Ki67 do well with adjuvant standard endocrine therapy (giving consideration to clinical-pathological factors), whereas those whose POAI-induced Ki67 remains high might benefit from further adjuvant treatment or trials of new therapies.

Journal: Obesity Alters Oestrogen Metabolism and Contributes to Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 2, 2020 To address this we investigated the effects of inhibiting oestrogen synthesis and metabolism on the development of pulmonary hypertension in male and female obese mice.We depleted endogenous oestrogen in leptin-deficient (ob/ob) mice with the oestrogen inhibitor anastrozole (ANA) and determined the effects on the development of pulmonary hypertension, plasma oestradiol and urinary 16α-hydroxyestrone (16αOHE1)...Oestrogen inhibitors are now in clinical trials for PAH. This study has translational consequences as it suggests that oestrogen inhibitors may be especially beneficial in treating obese individuals with PAH.

Preclinical, Journal: Testosterone Increases Fibroblast Proliferation in vitro Through Androgen and Estrogen Receptor Activation. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 30, 2020 This study has translational consequences as it suggests that oestrogen inhibitors may be especially beneficial in treating obese individuals with PAH. Testosterone association with sex hormone receptor antagonists flutamide and fulvestrant suggests that not only androgen receptors, but also estrogen receptors, may take part in fibroblast cell proliferation and migration in vitro.

Review, Journal: Strategies to increase testosterone in men seeking fertility. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 22, 2020 Recently, a novel therapy, Natesto intranasal testosterone gel, has been shown to increase serum testosterone levels while maintaining semen parameters...Those with low 17-OHP may wish to initiate treatment with alternative therapies, whereas those with high 17-OHP may trial short-acting testosterone therapies. As the urologist's armamentarium continues to increase, better strategies to increase testosterone levels in men seeking fertility can be achieved.

[VIRTUAL] Breast Cancer-Associated Podocytopathy (On-Demand) - Oct 11, 2020 - Abstract #KIDNEYWEEK2020KIDNEY_WEEK_2751; The patient was started on Lisinopril 10mg, however proteinuria worsened to 12.6 grams thereby switch to losartan (100mg daily) with slight improvement in proteinuria...She underwent lobectomy and started on anastrozole...Interestingly, the FSGS diagnosis preceded the diagnosis of the breast cancer. While the proteinuria came into partial remission with conservative management, a dramatic resolution of FSGS was noted post-surgery and hormonal therapy for the breast cancer.

[VIRTUAL] Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd; DS-8201) in combination with other anticancer agents in patients with HER2-low metastatic breast cancer: A phase 1b, open-label, multicenter, dose-finding and dose-expansion study (DESTINY-Breast08) () - Oct 2, 2020 - Abstract #SABCS2020SABCS_1083; Module 3 (HR−): only 1 prior line of CTX for mBC Modules 4 and 5 (HR+): only 1 prior line of ET but no prior CTX for mBC The primary endpoint in part 1 is safety and tolerability and determination of RP2Ds. In part 2, the primary endpoint is safety and tolerability, and secondary endpoints include ORR, duration of response, and PFS (all by investigator assessment according to RECIST 1.1) as well as overall survival, PK, and immunogenicity.
