Journal, Combination therapy: Synergistic Effects of Neratinib in Combination With Palbociclib or Miransertib in Brain Cancer Cells. (Pubmed Central) - May 16, 2024 Notably, we found that treatment with neratinib in combination with palbociclib (CDK4/6 inhibitor), or miransertib (AKT1/2/3 inhibitor) resulted in synergistic growth inhibition of all HBCCLs. Our results support that repurposing drugs like neratinib in combination with the palbociclib or miransertib may be of therapeutic potential in brain cancer and warrants further investigations.

Journal, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: D-mannose targets PD-1 to lysosomal degradation and enhances T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity. (Pubmed Central) - May 15, 2024 Furthermore, D-mannose treatment dramatically improves the therapeutic efficacy of MEK inhibitor (MEKi) trametinib in vivo. Our findings unveil a universally unrecognized anti-tumor mechanism of D-mannose by destabilizing PD-1 and provide strategies to enhance the efficacy of both immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and MEKi -based therapies.

Journal: NOX4 promotes tumor progression through the MAPK-MEK1/2-ERK1/2 axis in colorectal cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 25, 2024 Because BRAFThr599dup has been recurrently reported across various cancer types, our findings should be further investigated both mechanistically and clinically. Our study comprehensively analyzed metabolic gene expression and highlighted the importance of NOX4 in promoting CRC metastasis, suggesting that trametinib could be a potential therapeutic drugs of CRC clinical therapy targeting NOX4.

BRAF/MEK Inhibitor use has seen significant growth across all healthcare providers in claims made per 100k beneficiaries, total drug costs, and total drug supply days. These findings show that the access to BRAK/MEK inhibitor is increasing and as it receives indications for other malignancies, additional studies will be needed to assess whether these trends persist or change, especially in setting of increased use of immunotherapy in melanoma.
