Differential impact of allelic ratio and insertion site in FLT3-ITD-positive AML with respect to allogeneic transplantation.

2014

The objective was to evaluate the prognostic and predictive impact of allelic ratio and insertion site (IS) of internal tandem duplications (ITDs), as well as concurrent gene mutations, with regard to postremission therapy in 323 patients with FLT3-ITD-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Increasing FLT3-ITD allelic ratio (P = .004) and IS in the tyrosine kinase domain 1 (TKD1, P = .06) were associated with low complete remission (CR) rates. After postremission therapy including intensive chemotherapy (n = 121) or autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT, n = 17), an allelic ratio ≥ 0.51 was associated with an unfavorable relapse-free (RFS, P = .0008) and overall survival …

The safety and efficacy of dasatinib plus nivolumab in patients with previously treated chronic myeloid leukemia: results from a phase 1b dose-escala…

2021

Although treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has dramatically improved outcomes for the majority of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), approximately 20–30% will require a ch...

Mutational analysis of plasma DNA from patients (pts) in the phase III GRID study of regorafenib (REC) versus placebo (PL) in tyrosine kinase inhibit…

2013

10503 Background: The phase III GRID study showed that REG provides a significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared with PL in pts with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) following failure of at least imatinib (IM) and sunitinib (SU; HR 0.27, p<0.0001). Determining GIST genotype in TKI-refractory disease has proven challenging due to inter-tumoral heterogeneity and pt preference to avoid serial biopsies. To overcome this, we analysed circulating DNA in plasma as a source of tumor DNA and studied the correlation between mutational status and clinical outcome. Methods: DNA was isolated from both archival tumor tissue (n=102) and plasma at baseline (n=163…

High-dose radiotherapy for oligo-progressive NSCLC receiving EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors: Real world data

2020

Background/aim Local ablative treatments for oligo-progressive, EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer (mut-NCSLC) may improve long-term disease control and survival. We analyzed the efficacy of hypo-fractionated, high-dose radiation therapy (HDRT), in association with prolonged EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in oligo-progressive, EGFR mutant-NSCLC. Patients and methods Progression-free survival-1 (PFS-1, date from initiation of TKI therapy until oligo-progression or death), and progression-free survival-2 (PFS-2, date of focal progression until further progression or death) were evaluated. Results Thirty-six patients were analyzed. The median PFS 1 was 12.5 months. HDHRT consisted …

FOLFIRI plus sunitinib versus FOLFIRI alone in advanced chemorefractory esophagogastric cancer patients: A randomized placebo-controlled multicentric…

2013

4086 Background: Sunitinib is an receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor of VEGFR1-3, PDGFR-α-β, and other RTK. After we established Sunitinib (Sun) alone associated with limited response rate (RR) and good tolerability in refractory advanced esophagogastric cancer patients (Moehler et al. EUR J Cancer. 2011, 47: 1511), this double-blinded placebo-controlled phase II evaluated safety and efficacy of SUN as add-on in second-line or third-line FOLFIRI (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01020630). Methods: Patients with failure of any prior docetaxel and/or platinum-based chemotherapy were randomized to receive 6-week cycles including FOLFIRI two weekly and SUN (25 mg) versus (vs) placebo (PLA) daily fo…

Introduction Since 2009, multiple randomized trials have shown faster and deeper responses in CML patients treated with new-generation TKI (NG-TKI) compared to those treated with imatinib (IM). Are the same results observed in the general population? Materials and methods Patients were identified from the three French hematological malignancies population-based registries. All CML patients (ICD-O-3: 9875/3) diagnosed between 2006 and 2016 and resided in registries areas were included. The TKI generation effect on achievement of MMR in first-line therapy was assessed through a multivariate competitive risk analysis. An alluvial plot described the pathways leading to death. Results In total, …

Beyond the comfort zone of deep molecular response: discontinuation in major molecular response chronic myeloid leukemia.

2019

Discontinuation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) therapy is now feasible for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with deep and longstanding molecular response (MR 4/4.5); around 40–60%...

Tumorigenic and metastatic activity of human thyroid cancer stem cells

2010

Abstract Thyroid carcinoma is the most common endocrine malignancy and the first cause of death among endocrine cancers. We show that the tumorigenic capacity in thyroid cancer is confined in a small subpopulation of stem-like cells with high aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDHhigh) activity and unlimited replication potential. ALDHhigh cells can be expanded indefinitely in vitro as tumor spheres, which retain the tumorigenic potential upon delivery in immunocompromised mice. Orthotopic injection of minute numbers of thyroid cancer stem cells recapitulates the behavior of the parental tumor, including the aggressive metastatic features of undifferentiated thyroid carcinomas, which are sustained by…

Efficacy and safety of regorafenib for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumours after failure of imatinib and sunitinib (GRID): an international, mu…

2013

Contains fulltext : 118365.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) BACKGROUND: Until now, only imatinib and sunitinib have proven clinical benefit in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), but almost all metastatic GIST eventually develop resistance to these agents, resulting in fatal disease progression. We aimed to assess efficacy and safety of regorafenib in patients with metastatic or unresectable GIST progressing after failure of at least imatinib and sunitinib. METHODS: We did this phase 3 trial at 57 hospitals in 17 countries. Patients with histologically confirmed, metastatic or unresectable GIST, with failure of at least previous imatinib and sunitinib were rando…

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in a cancer patient receiving lenvatinib.

2018

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is an adverse drug reaction that affects the mandible and maxilla of patients exposed to bone-targeting agents such as anti-resorptive and anti-angiogenic agents. Several MRONJ cases have been reported after dental extractions in patients under treatment with anti-angiogenic agents, including receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) inhibitor, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) monoclonal antibody, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The aim of this article was to describe an original case of lenvatinib-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in a patient affected …
