Everolimus as first line therapy for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours: current knowledge and future perspectives
2017
urpose Everolimus has been shown to be effective for advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNETs), but its positioning in the therapeutic algorithm for pNETs is matter of debate. Methods With the aim to shed light on this point, we performed an up-to-date critical review taking into account the results of both retrospective and prospective published studies, and the recommendations of international guidelines. In addition, we performed an extensive search on the Clinical Trial Registries databases worldwide, to gather information on the ongoing clinical trials related to this specific topic. Results We identified eight retrospective published studies, two prospective published studies…
Margetuximab (M) combined with anti-PD-1 (retifanlimab) or anti-PD-1/LAG-3 (tebotelimab) +/- chemotherapy (CTX) in first-line therapy of advanced/met…

TPS264 Background: Trastuzumab (T), a monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting HER2, is standard of care 1st-line therapy for advanced HER2+ GEJ/GC patients. M, an investigational Fc-engineered anti-HER2 mAb, targets the same HER2 epitope but with higher affinity for both 158V (high binding) and 158F (low binding) alleles of activating Fc receptor CD16A. Data suggest margetuximab coordinately enhances both innate and adaptive immunity, including antigen-specific T-cell responses to HER2. PD-1 and LAG-3 are T-cell checkpoint molecules that suppress T-cell function. Retifanlimab (also known as MGA012 or INCMGA00012) is a humanized, hinge-stabilized, IgG4 Κ anti-PD-1 mAb blocking binding of PD-L1 …
Zolbetuximab combined with EOX as first-line therapy in advanced CLDN18.2+ gastric (G) and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma : Updated r…
2019
16 Background: Physiologically, the tight junction protein CLDN18.2 is present only in the gastric mucosa. Upon malignant transformation, CLDN18.2 epitopes are exposed on the cell surface and accessible to targeted therapy. Zolbetuximab (formerly IMAB362) is a chimeric mAb that mediates specific killing of CLDN18.2+ cancer cells through immune effector mechanisms; single-agent activity has been reported in G/GEJ cancer. Methods: Patients (pts) with advanced HER2-negative (HER–) G/GEJ cancer with CLDN18.2 expression of ≥ 2+ staining intensity with the anti-CLDN18 43-14A mAb in ≥ 40% tumor cells were eligible (NCT01630083). Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive first-line EOX ± zolbetuxima…
Tislelizumab plus chemotherapy versus placebo plus chemotherapy as first-line therapy in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic ga…

TPS458 Background: First-line standard of care in patients with locally advanced or metastatic G/GEJ adenocarcinoma is fluoropyrimidine- and platinum (plat)-based combination chemotherapy. Despite improved chemotherapy regimens, outcomes remain poor and survival is low. Tislelizumab, an investigational humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody with high affinity and binding specificity for PD-1, was engineered to minimize binding of FcγR on macrophages in order to abrogate antibody-dependent phagocytosis, a mechanism of T-cell clearance and potential resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy. Previous reports from early phase studies suggested tislelizumab, as a single agent and combined with chemotherapy,…

Low dose of aPCC after the initial treatment in acquired haemophilia A is useful to reduce bleeding relapses: Data from the FAIR registry
2019
Background: Bypassing agents are the first line therapy in patients with acquired haemophilia A (AHA). Activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC) proved to be effective as initial treatment, but 20% of patients (pts) had relapses. aPCC as short-term prophylaxis to reduce subsequent bleeds is still not clear. Aim: To evaluate whether a short-term prophylaxis with low dose of aPCC can reduce bleeding relapses after initial AHA treatment, maintaining safety. Methods: The FAIR Registry is a retrospective-prospective study started on December 2012, that collected data on all pts with AHA treated with aPCC in 12 Italian Haemophilia Centers. All statistical analyses were carried out in the 5…

TPS468 Background: Trastuzumab (T), a monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting HER2, is standard of care palliative 1st-line therapy for advanced HER2+ GEJ/GC patients (pts). M, an Fc-engineered anti-HER2 mAb, targets the same HER2 epitope but with higher affinity for both 158V (high binding) and 158F (low binding) alleles of activating Fc receptor CD16A. M coordinately enhanced both innate and adaptive immunity, including antigen-specific T-cell responses to HER2. PD-1 and LAG-3 are T-cell checkpoint molecules that suppress T-cell function. MGA012 (INCMGA00012) is a humanized, hinge-stabilized, IgG4 κ anti-PD-1 mAb blocking binding of PD-L1 or PD-L2 to PD-1. MGD013 is a humanized Fc-bearing bi…
