Analisi degli effetti del Cetuximab in linee cellulari di adenocarcinoma colorettale
2013
Il carcinoma del colon-retto (CRC) è una malattia eterogenea, che si sviluppa in seguito a numerose alterazioni genetiche ed epigenetiche. Una famiglia genica che si trova frequentemente mutata nei tumori è quella di ras che consta di tre principali protoncogeni (H-, K- e N-Ras) localizzati su cromosomi differenti e codificanti proteine G del peso di 21 KDa. Il 50% dei casi di CRC presenta mutazioni puntiformi missense a carico del gene KRAS, il 90% delle quali si verifica a livello dei codoni 12 e 13 e rende la proteina costitutivamente attiva. Diversi studi dimostrano come mutazioni di differenti codoni di K-Ras potrebbero avere diverse conseguenze biologiche e determinare una diversa ris…
Abstract B09: Nintedanib inhibits tumor and vessel growth and leads to vascular normalization in A549-NSCLC-xenografts
2015
Abstract Angiogenesis plays a major role in the growth and progression of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The triple angiokinase inhibitor nintedanib is a potent inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinases FGFR-1, 2, 3, PDGFR-α and β, VEGFR-1, 2, 3. and Flt-3. as well as of non-receptor tyrosine kinases like Src, Lyn and Lck by occupying the intracellular ATP-binding pocket. In the pivotal LUME-Lung 1 trial Nintedanib plus docetaxel has proven an overall survival benefit over docetaxel monotherapy in second-line treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer of adenocarcinoma. The aim of this study was to analyse treatment induced vascular normalization of nintedanib, bevacizumab and docetaxel …
Phase 1 study of biweekly (Q2W) anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (mAb) mixture Sym004 in patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) resista…
2014
3551 Background: Preclinical models suggest that WT KRAS mCRC may retain EGFR dependency despite resistance developed to anti-EGFR mAb treatment (eg, cetuximab or panitumumab). Sym004 is the first-...
Abstract LB-243: Cetuximab and Artesunate synergistically inhibit the invasion and distant metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer
2012
Abstract Cancer is a complex disease and multi step process evolving from malfunctions of molecules and their complex networks which regulate this process. The blockage of the cancer signalling network is crucial in the cancer treatment. In some cases, single drug therapy might not be comprehensive enough to inhibit the activity of secondary signals, feedback regulations and resistance to particular molecules, due to their abundant expression or activity. An understanding of these complex phenomena in cancer therapy for the benefit of patients is essential, especially since it bears the chance to establish novel concepts of combination drug therapy. In the present study, we have tried to fi…
Margetuximab (M) combined with anti-PD-1 (retifanlimab) or anti-PD-1/LAG-3 (tebotelimab) +/- chemotherapy (CTX) in first-line therapy of advanced/met…
2021
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 …
Efficacy and safety of first-line checkpoint inhibitors-based treatments for non-oncogene-addicted non-small-cell lung cancer: a systematic review an…
2021
Background: Frontline immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI)-based regimens in non-oncogene-addicted non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been deeply investigated. To rank the available therapeutic options, we carried out a systematic review and Bayesian meta-analysis. Methods: A comprehensive search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of ICI regimens, and a pairwise and a network meta-analysis (NMA) with an all-comers and a stratified strategy were conducted. Endpoints were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR) and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). Results: Nineteen RCTs involving 17 treatment regimens were included. For the all-co…
In vitro and in vivo purging of B lymphoma cells from stem-cell products using anti-CD20 Abs.
2000
Background Autologous stem-cell transplantation has proved curative therapy for relapsed NHL. However, recurrence of underlying disease remains the major cause of treatment failure in this setting. Methods Development of effective MAb therapy directed against the B cell surface antigen CD20 has added a valuable tool of clearing contaminating lymphoma cells from stem-cell products by either in vitro or in vivo application. Results Transplantation of successfully in vitro purged bone marrow using Mabs has been correlated with prolonged survival in large Phase-II study. So far, no randomized trial could demonstrate a therapeutic benefit for in vitro purging. The anti-CD20 Mab rituximab has bee…
In vivo targeting of human neutralizing antibodies against CD55 and CD59 to lymphoma cells increases the antitumor activity of rituximab.
2007
AbstractAn in vivo model of human CD20+ B-lymphoma was established in severe combined immunodeficiency mice to test the ability of human neutralizing miniantibodies to CD55 and CD59 (MB55 and MB59) to enhance the therapeutic effect of rituximab. The miniantibodies contained single-chain fragment variables and the hinge-CH2-CH3 domains of human IgG1. LCL2 cells were selected for the in vivo study among six B-lymphoma cell lines for their high susceptibility to rituximab-dependent complement-mediated killing enhanced by MB55 and MB59. The cells injected i.p. primarily colonized the liver and spleen, leading to the death of the animals within 30 to 40 days. Thirty percent of mice receiving bio…
The dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor PKI-587 enhances sensitivity to cetuximab in EGFR-resistant human head and neck cancer models
2014
Background:Cetuximab is the only targeted agent approved for the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), but low response rates and disease progression are frequently reported. As the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathways have an important role in the pathogenesis of HNSCC, we investigated their involvement in cetuximab resistance.Methods:Different human squamous cancer cell lines sensitive or resistant to cetuximab were tested for the dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor PF-05212384 (PKI-587), alone and in combination, both in vitro and in vivo.Results:Treatment with PKI-587 enhances sensitivity to cetuximab in vitro, even in the co…
Labeling and preliminary in vivo assessment of niobium-labeled radioactive species: A proof-of-concept study.
2016
Abstract The application of radionuclide-labeled biomolecules such as monoclonal antibodies or antibody fragments for imaging purposes is called immunoscintigraphy . More specifically, when the nuclides used are positron emitters, such as zirconium-89, the technique is referred to as immuno-PET . Currently, there is an urgent need for radionuclides with a half-life which correlates well with the biological kinetics of the biomolecules under question and which can be attached to the proteins by robust labeling chemistry. 90 Nb is a promising candidate for in vivo immuno-PET , due its half-life of 14.6h and low β + energy of E mean =0.35MeV per decay. 95 Nb on the other hand, is a convenient …
