Although methotrexate is the most common oral chemotherapeutic agent involved in overdoses reported to the California Poison Control System, there are many other oral chemotherapeutics from various drug classes, which can lead to toxicity. Although deaths are rare, further studies are needed to determine if particular drugs or drug classes warrant more scrutiny.

Nivolumab-induced Central Nervous System (CNS) Vasculitis Brought on by a Steroid Taper (Both in-person and online) - Mar 12, 2023 - Abstract #AAN2023AAN_3987; Generally, both intra- and extracranial vasculitides are treated with steroids Objective To illustrate a case of nivolumab-induced CNS vasculitis that developed while tapering steroids and was successfully treated expectantly without immunosuppression Design/Methods N/A Results A 75 year-old male received two months of concurrent chemoradiation with weekly carboplatin/paclitaxel for esophageal adenocarcinoma...Work-up suggested ICI-associated pneumonitis, and he was started on 50 mg prednisone, with weekly taper...Additionally, this patient underwent biopsy with concern for metastasis or abscess, but ultimately did not necessitate treatment for vasculitis. This raises the possibility that active surveillance is a reasonable management strategy in cases of self-resolving ICI-associated CNS vasculitis

Osmotic Demyelinating Syndrome Secondary to Breast Cancer Chemotherapy: a Case Report (Both in-person and online) - Mar 12, 2023 - Abstract #AAN2023AAN_3402; In another study published by Cortes and colleagues, the development of osmotic demyelinating syndrome when using a combination of trastuzumab and pertuzumab for breast cancer was reported as a rare finding (one case of twenty-nine patients). To our knowledge, this is one of the first cases describing an ODS following therapy with pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and docetaxel.

Transmission of Behavioral Deficits in Rats Exposed to Folate Receptor Alpha Antibody In Utero. (Both in-person and online) - Mar 12, 2023 - Abstract #AAN2023AAN_1545; We hypothesize that treatment of the directly exposed generation with folinic acid prior to mating may prevent transmission of behavioral deficits to a subsequent generation by altering the epigenome. This may be a strategy to decrease the risk in families with a history of ASD.

Preclinical, Journal: Matairesinol Nanoparticles Restore Chemosensitivity and Suppress Colorectal Cancer Progression in Preclinical Models: Role of Lipid Metabolism Reprogramming. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 9, 2023 Finally, matairesinol-loaded liposomes significantly promoted the enhanced antitumor activity of 5-Fu/leucovorin combined with oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) in CDX and PDX mouse models by restoring chemosensitivity to the FOLFOX regimen. Collectively our findings highlight matairesinol-mediated lipid metabolism reprogramming as a novel druggable strategy to restore CRC chemosensitivity, and this nanoenabled approach for matairesinol will improve the chemotherapeutic efficacy with good biosafety.

Clinical, Retrospective data, Journal, Metastases: Chemotherapy in advanced pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma: a retrospective multicenter AGEO study. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 9, 2023 The first-line treatment was chemotherapy for 79 patients (84.0%) (37 FOLFIRINOX (FX), 7 Gemcitabine-nab paclitaxel (GN) and 35 for all other regimen) or best supportive care (BSC) alone for 15 patients (16.0%)...This large study evaluating first-line treatment regimens in advanced PASC suggests that modern regimens as FX or GN may be preferable to all other chemotherapy regimens. These results deserve confirmation in prospective studies.

(Pubmed Central) - Mar 7, 2023 Randomized ongoing trials are eagerly awaited with more active combined regimens including modified FOLFIRINOX. The results suggest that the recommendation of a lower starting dose of nal-IRI for patients with UGT1A1?28 homozygosity should be extended to include patients with UGT1A1?6 homozygosity/compound heterozygosity.

Randomized controlled trials assessing the value of neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX in clearly resectable pancreatic cancer, which are expected to provide more conclusive recommendations, are still ongoing. This review outlines the rationale, considerations, and current level of evidence for the use of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with clearly resectable pancreatic cancer.
