Journal: Fluorine-18 Labeling of the MDM2 Inhibitor RG7388 for PET Imaging: Chemistry and Preliminary Evaluation. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 19, 2022 Our results suggest that RG7388 is a promising molecular scaffold for F-labeled probe development for MDM2. Additional labeling strategies and functionalizing locations on RG7388 are under development to improve binding affinity and in vivo stability of the F-labeled compound to make it more amenable for PET imaging of MDM2 in vivo.

Over the last decade, the Janus kinase (JAK) 1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib has become widely established as the cornerstone of pharmacologic therapy for most patients with myelofibrosis (MF), providing dramatic and durable benefits in terms of splenomegaly and symptoms, and prolonging survival...The regulatory approval of fedratinib has introduced an important option in the postruxolitinib setting. Fortunately, a plethora of novel agents, both new JAK inhibitors and drugs from other classes, eg, bromodomain and extraterminal (BET), murine double minute 2 (MDM2) and telomerase inhibitors, activin receptor ligand traps, BH3-mimetics and more, are poised to greatly expand the therapeutic armamentarium for patients with MF if successful in pivotal trials.

Ruxolitinib and fedratinib are approved JAK2 inhibitors that have produced meaningful benefits in terms of spleen reduction and symptom improvement, but there remain several unmet needs...Specifically, we cover novel JAK inhibitors (momelotinib and pacritinib), and agents that target bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (pelabresib), the antiapoptotic proteins BCL-2/BCL-xL (navitoclax), MDM2 (navtemadlin), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (parsaclisib), or telomerase (imetelstat)...Future evaluation of agents must be judged on their potential to modify disease progression, which current JAK2 inhibitors lack. Combination therapy, possibly with an immunotherapeutic agent might serve as key components of future myelofibrosis treatment options.

The ability to measure drug activity at single-cell resolution in a patient-tailored manner by applying a genotype-agnostic method, paves the way for advanced precision cancer medicine in GBM by offering a novel approach to more precisely select eligible patients for prospective clinical trials.

Optimizing MDM2 inhibition for the treatment of high-grade glioma (Exhibit Hall D) - Nov 16, 2021 - Abstract #SNO2021SNO_396; Treatment with KRT232 upregulated both cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cellular responses, with unique temporal and transcriptional differences correlated with MDM2/4 or PPM1D status. In other tumors resistance to MDM2i is mainly mediated by TP53 mutations, but in a subset of chronic KRT232-treated glioma models we noted lack of TP53 mutations and identified cell state and transcriptional changes as potentially more treatable mediators of resistance.

Targeting the p53-HDM2 Axis KRT-232 is a first-in-class, potent, bioavailable inhibitor of HDM2 (key negative regulator of p53) that was assessed in a phase 2 study (KRT-232-101) and showed promising clinical efficacy and tolerability in TP53-wild type patients with MF who failed ruxolitinib treatment.17 A randomized phase 3 trial comparing KRT-232 (240 mg on days 1–7/28-day cycle) to BAT in MF patients refractory /resistant to JAK inhibitors has been launched...In the phase 2 study IMbark, the higher dose of imetelstat (9.4 mg/ kg) yielded a median overall survival of 29.9 months in patients with intermediate-2 or high-risk MF relapsed/refractory to JAK inhibitors.18 In light of the aforementioned promising result, a pivotal international phase 3 trial (IMpactMF) was launched to evaluate the survival advantage – an unprecedented trial endpoint for investigational MF medications – that imetelstat may confer to JAK-inhibitor-refractory MF patients.19 Conclusions The era of JAK1/2 inhibitor monotherapies in MF has ushered the way to the clinical development of a suite of promising novel medications spanning various biological mechanisms (for example, inhibitors of BET, HDM2, BCL-2/ BCL-XL, and telomerase, among others). Several highly promising candidates are currently evaluated in regulatory phase 3 clinical trials in the frontline and second line settings; these studies may lead to approval of novel medications that will significantly improve the current MF treatment paradigm.

Experiments investigating the role of dsDNA breaks in radiosensitization are ongoing.Conclusions: Our novel radiosensitizer screen identifies MDM2 as a potential mediator of radioresistance in ER+ BC in a p53-dependent manner and suggests that MDM2 targeting concurrent with RT may represent a tractable clinical strategy in women with locally advanced ER+, p53 WT BC.
