Journal: Rescuing effect of folates on methotrexate cytotoxicity in human trophoblast cells. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 13, 2022 Despite the general acceptance of administering FA to prevent adverse events of MTX therapy, our findings suggest that FA may not be optimal, and indicate FTHF or MTHF as a better choice. This study on trophoblast cells suggests that FTHF may be the optimal folate, particularly for women in childbearing-age.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 13, 2022 P3 Further prospective validation is under way (clinicaltrials.gov NCT03033927). In addition to improving OS, encorafenib plus cetuximab with or without binimetinib delays QoL decline in previously treated patients with BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 7, 2022 The four CRLM patients received toripalimab or sintilimab plus chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI or XELOX) with or without bevacizumab after POLE EDM were detected...Despite being a rare phenotype, CRLM patients with POLE EDM exhibit ultra-high TMB and, more importantly, significant clinical response to ICI-based combination therapy. Therefore, the complete sequencing of POLE exonuclease domains is recommended in CRLM patients clinically.

Preclinical, Journal: Absorption and Tissue Distribution of Folate Forms in Rats: Indications for Specific Folate Form Supplementation during Pregnancy. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 1, 2022 However, only 50% of the leucovorin is metabolically active whereas levofolinate is fully active and generates higher tetrahydrofolate (THF). Because levofolinate can readily incorporate into the folate cycle without needing methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methionine synthase (MS) in the first pass and is relatively stable, it should be the folate form of choice during pregnancy, other disorders where large daily doses of folate are needed, and food fortification.

Based on the available clinical data, such approvals should be restricted to the use of oxaliplatin.

In this cohort study that sought to evaluate the role of adaptive dynamic therapy in localized pancreatic cancer, selecting a chemotherapeutic regimen based on response to preoperative therapy was associated with improved survival. These findings support an individualized and in vivo assessment of response to perioperative therapy in pancreatic cancer.

Journal: Efficacy, Safety, and Impact on Patient Survival of PDL1/PD-1 Inhibitors versus FOLFIRINOX Regimens for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 29, 2022 The progression-free survival in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the comparison group, and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). PDL1/PD-1 inhibitors in combination with FOLFIRINOX regimens have shown longer survival than treatment with FOLFIRINOX regimens for pancreatic cancer patients, with reliable clinical efficacy, tolerable adverse effects, and a high safety profile for patients.

Clinical, Clinical Trial,Phase III, Journal, Combination therapy: The TAILOR study establishes, in patients mCRC wt, the first line use of FOLFOX in combination with cetuximab (Pubmed Central) - Jun 28, 2022 Cetuximab in combination with chemotherapy is a standard first-line treatment regimen for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) RAS wild-type (wt); however, the efficacy of cetuximab plus leucovorin, fluorouracil and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) had never been demonstrated in a prospective, randomized, controlled phase III study. The TAILOR study is the first randomized, multicenter, prospective Phase III study evaluating the addition of cetuximab to FOLFOX in a RAS wt Chinese population and thus providing confirmatory data for the efficacy and safety of cetuximab plus FOLFOX versus FOLFOX alone.
