  • ||||||||||  Review, Journal, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker:  Targeted Therapy for Colorectal Cancer. (Pubmed Central) -  May 4, 2022   
    Patients with mCRC with KRAS/NRAS/BRAF wild-type left-sided tumors may benefit from epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibition with either cetuximab or panitumumab, in conjunction with chemotherapy...The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor bevacizumab can serve as an alternative to EGFR inhibitors in right-sided tumors or second-line therapy...Triple combination therapy with cetuximab, the BRAF inhibitor encorafenib, and the MEK kinase inhibitor binimetinib has extended overall survival by about 3 months compared with chemotherapy alone...The KEYNOTE-177 trial demonstrated that therapy with single-agent pembrolizumab improved progression-free survival by 8 months compared with FOLFOX or FOLFIRI and with or without EGFR inhibition. At this time, targeted therapy should only be used in patients with unresectable metastatic disease.

    Observational data, Review, Journal:  Systematic review of randomised clinical trials and observational studies for patients with RAS wild-type or BRAF-mutant metastatic and/or unresectable colorectal cancer. (Pubmed Central) -  May 3, 2022   
    In BEACON CRC, overall survival (OS) was significantly longer for patients receiving encorafenib plus cetuximab ± binimetinib when compared with irinotecan/FOLFIRI plus cetuximab as second- and third-line therapy...Patients with BRAF-mutant mCRC have worse outcomes with conventional therapy vs patients with BRAF wild-type tumours. BRAF inhibitors in conjunction with anti-EGFR therapy improves outcomes for patients with BRAF-mutant mCRC vs conventional therapy or a BRAF inhibitor alone.

    Trial initiation date, Monotherapy:  Phase II Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of HLX07+HLX10 +mFOLFOX6 or HLX07 Monotherapy in Patients With mCRC (clinicaltrials.gov) -  May 3, 2022   
    P2,  N=50, Not yet recruiting, 
    Our study revealed that in patients with PC-only mCRC treatment of first-line bevacizumab and FOLFIRI through irinotecan dose escalation according to UGT1A1 polymorphism could confer such patients with comparable outcomes to that of patients with LiM-only and LuM-only mCRC. Initiation date: Apr 2022 --> Jul 2022
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Two decades of research toward the treatment of locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancer: Remarkable effort and limited gain. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 30, 2022   
    In this review, we study two decades of efforts to improve upon the gemcitabine backbone - 67 phase II and III trials enrolling 16,446 patients - that culminated in the approvals of gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (Gem/NabP) and FOLFIRINOX...Hence, we conclude this review by summarizing the data that ultimately demonstrate a small but significant survival benefit of second-line therapy with Gem/NabP or FOLFIRINOX. Collectively, these studies describe the long journey, the steady effort, and the myriad lessons to be learned from 20 years of PDAC trials to inform strategies for success in clinical trials moving forward.

    Review, Journal:  Treatment sequencing of metastatic colorectal cancer based on primary tumor location. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 30, 2022   
    Patients whose primary tumor originates from the left side of the colon and whose tumor's genome encodes wild-type RAS and BRAF should be offered cetuximab or panitumumab in the first-line treatment of metastatic disease or in subsequent lines...Specifically, an aggressive initial approach with FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab is a treatment option in right-sided tumors under investigation. This report reviews the available data for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer according to the location of the primary tumor and proposes the optimal treatment sequencing strategy incorporating the site of origin of the tumor and molecular information into the decision-making process.
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Light-Activated Monomethyl Auristatin E Prodrug Nanoparticles for Combinational Photo-Chemotherapy of Pancreatic Cancer. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 30, 2022   
    The CDM directly (intratumoral) injected into pancreatic cancers in orthotopic models through an invasive approach significantly delayed the tumor progression by combinational photo-chemotherapy with less toxic side effects. This study offers a promising and alternative approach for safe and more effective pancreatic cancer treatment via prodrug nanoparticles that combine photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy.

    Journal:  The interactions of folate with the enzyme furin: a computational study. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 29, 2022   
    While the folic acid molecule tended to be positioned slightly towards the Glu271, Tyr313, Ala532, Gln488, and Asp530 amino acids of furin at short and long ranges, the folinic acid molecule interacted with Glu271, Ser311, Arg490, Gln488, and Lys499 amino acids. Consequently, binding free energy calculations illustrated that folic acid (-27.90 kcal mol) has better binding in comparison with folinic acid (-12.84 kcal mol).

    P2/3,  N=180, Active, not recruiting, 
    Consequently, binding free energy calculations illustrated that folic acid (-27.90 kcal mol) has better binding in comparison with folinic acid (-12.84 kcal mol). Trial completion date: Mar 2022 --> Jun 2022

    Partial response was maintained until the onset of oxaliplatin drug allergy in the 10th course. FOLFOX is a promising option for patients with difficulties in oral intake.
