Review, Journal: Trifluridine/tipiracil regimen in combination with bevacizumab for metastatic colorectal cancer in the third line: an expert opinion. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 6, 2025 Based on a critical review of the literature aimed to guide clinicians in their daily decision-making, we point out that the combination of FTD/TPI with bevacizumab produces a clinical benefit in unselected mCRC patients. Therefore, the FTD/TPI plus bevacizumab regimen can represent a new standard of care for the treatment of patients with refractory mCRC who have progressed after two lines of therapy.

Retrospective data, Journal: Rechallenge therapy versus tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) for advanced metastatic colorectal cancer: a retrospective study. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 5, 2025 Furthermore, subgroup analysis showed that in Group A, the rechallenge group also had superior median OS and PFS compared with the TKI group. In conclusion, while TKIs are the current standard for third-line treatment in mCRC patients, chemotherapy rechallenge is a more effective option for patients who have achieved disease control in the first two lines of treatment.

Journal: Trifluridine/Tipiracil (FTD/TPI) in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer in Hong Kong: A Territory-Wide Cohort Study. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 1, 2025 Our data show that treatment with FTD/TPI offers survival benefits in patients with refractory mCRC in Hong Kong consistent with randomized controlled trials and other real-world studies. Furthermore, the prognosis in patients receiving FTD/TPI appears to be significantly better in those who develop neutropenia, with RAS wild-type status, or those without liver metastases, despite a higher rate of dose reduction in the real-world setting.

(Pubmed Central) - Dec 19, 2024 Incidence of hypomagnesemia in patients receiving anti-EGFR antibodies and neutropenia in patients receiving TAS-102 was significantly associated with the therapeutic effect of cancer chemotherapy...In patients receiving nivolumab, the presence of cancer cachexia prior to treatment initiation was associated with shorter OS and TTF...Further, AEs which are predictive of treatment response in cancer chemotherapy were identified. Management of these AEs is an important role for pharmacists aiming to improve patient QOL and treatment efficacy.

Synergistic Effect of Trifluridine and PARPi Combination in Targeting TP53-Mutated AML () - Dec 7, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_7867; However, CI values for this combination ranged from 1.03-9.30 in cells with TP53-WT cell lines implying antagonism.Conclusions : These results, for the first time, demonstrate synergism between TAS-102 and talazoparib to specifically target and mediate cytotoxicity in a panel of AML cell lines with TP53 mutations but not those with wildtype TP53. Ongoing studies are focused on testing these in primary patient specimens and PDX mouse models, once validated these results support the potential for using this two-drug combination of FDA-approved drugs for improving outcome in TP53-mutated AML.
