Transcriptomic and Genetic Associations between Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and Cancer.
2021
Simple Summary Epidemiological studies have identified a link between neurodegenerative disorders and a reduced risk of overall cancer. Increases and decreases in the risk of site-specific cancers have also been reported. However, it is still unknown whether these associations arise due to shared genetic and molecular factors or are explained by other phenomena (e.g., biases in epidemiological studies or the use of medication). In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential molecular, genetic, and pharmacological links between Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases and a large panel of 22 cancer types. To examine the overlapping involvement of genes and pathways, we obtained differentia…
Analysis of everolimus starting dose as prognostic marker in HR+ mBC patients treated with everolimus (EVE) + exemestane (EXE): Results of the 3rd in…
2017
1061 Background: BRAWO is a German non-interventional study, which enrolled more than 2400 patients (pts) with advanced/metastatic, hormone-receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer treated with EVE and EXE. Main objectives are a) the impact of physical activity on efficacy and quality of life, b) prophylaxis and management of stomatitis in clinical routine, and c) the sequence of therapy when EVE is used in daily clinical practice. Methods: In this update on the results of the 3rd interim analysis (data cut-off 18-Oct-2016) we analyzed under real world conditions the first 1.078 patients followed up until disease progression for their progression-free survival (PFS) events. A two-…
Efficacy and safety of Everolimus and Exemestane in hormone-receptor positive (HR+) human-epidermal-growth-factor negative (HER2−) advanced breast ca…
2017
Abstract Background The BOLERO-2 trial reported efficacy and safety of Everolimus (EVE) and Exemestane (EXE) combination in HR+ advanced breast cancer (ABC) patients. The BALLET trial further evaluated the safety of EVE-EXE in HR+ ABC patients, without reporting efficacy data. Aim of the EVA real-life study was to collect data of efficacy and safety of EVE-EXE combination in the clinical setting, as well as exploring efficacy according to EVE Dose-Intensity (DI) and to previous treatment with Fulvestrant. Patients and methods This study aimed to describe the outcome of ABC pts treated with EVE-EXE combination in terms of median duration of EVE treatment and ORR in a real-life setting. Resul…
Twelve-Month Estrogen Levels in Premenopausal Women With Hormone Receptor–Positive Breast Cancer Receiving Adjuvant Triptorelin Plus Exemestane or Ta…
2016
Purpose To describe estradiol (E2), estrone (E1), and estrone sulfate (E1S) levels during the first year of monthly triptorelin plus exemestane or tamoxifen and to assess possible suboptimal suppression while receiving exemestane plus triptorelin. Patients and Methods Premenopausal patients with early breast cancer on the Suppression of Ovarian Function Trial who selected triptorelin as the ovarian suppression method and were randomly assigned to exemestane plus triptorelin or tamoxifen plus triptorelin were enrolled until the target population of 120 patients was reached. Blood sampling time points were 0, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48 months. Serum estrogens were measured with a highly sen…
Erratum: Phase II study of sequential hormonal therapy with anastrozole/exemestane in advanced and metastatic breast cancer
2005
Hormonal therapy is the preferred systemic treatment for recurrent or metastatic, post-menopausal hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer. Previous studies have shown that there is no cross-resistance between exemestane and reversible aromatase inhibitors. Exposure to hormonal therapy does not hamper later response to chemotherapy. Patients with locally advanced or metastatic, hormonal receptor positive or unknown, breast cancer were treated with oral anastrozole, until disease progression, followed by oral exemestane until new evidence of disease progression. The primary end point of the study was clinical benefit, defined as the sum of complete responses (CR), partial responses (PR) and >…
Abstract PS10-16: Real-world efficacy of ribociclib + aromatase inhibitor/fulvestrant, or endocrine monotherapy, or chemotherapy as first-line treatm…
2021
Abstract Background: In MONALEESA-3 and MONALEESA-7 trials, ribociclib (RIB, a selective CDK4/6 inhibitor) in combination with endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitor [AI] or fulvestrant [FUL]) demonstrated a significant prolongation of overall survival among patients with breast cancer (BC), regardless of menopausal status and treatment-line. In the premenopausal or perimenopausal women, RIB + AI/FUL should be combined with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist. The real-world evidence for the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of RIB + AI/FUL in the routine clinical practice is needed to support the use of this combination. Methods: RIBANNA is a prospective, non-intervention…
Median progression free survival (PFS) for patients treated with everolimus (EVE) plus exemestane (EXE) for HR plus mBC in routine clinical practice …
2017
e12547 Background: BRAWO is a non-interventional study, which enrolled more than 2400 patients (pts) with advanced/metastatic, hormone-receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer treated with EVE and EXE. Main objectives are a) the impact of physical activity on efficacy and quality of life, b) prophylaxis and management of stomatitis in clinical routine, and c) the sequence of therapy when EVE is used in daily clinical practice. We report updated data of the 3rd interim analysis, including PFS. Methods: This updated analysis (data cut-off 18 Oct 2016) covers data of the first 1345 documented pts with at least one follow up under therapy. Here we describe the baseline characteristics…
Estrogen levels in premenopausal (prem) patients (pts) with hormone-receptor positive (HR+) early breast cancer (BC) receiving adjuvant triptorelin (…
2014
585 Background: Optimal endocrine therapy for prem pts with early HR+ BC may depend on complete estrogen suppression with GnRH-A, and is crucial for those receiving concurrent aromatase inhibitors (AI). SOFT-EST is a prospective substudy of the phase III SOFT trial. Aims of SOFT-EST are to describe estradiol (E2), estrone (E1) and estrone sulphate (E1S) during monthly Trip + E or T and to assess if there is a group in E+Trip with suboptimal estrogen suppression (SES). Methods: All pts enrolled in SOFT from selected centers who consented, selected Trip as ovarian function suppression method and were randomized to E+Trip or T+Trip were enrolled in SOFT-EST until reaching the accrual goal (E=9…
Phase 3 randomized study of adjuvant anastrozole (A), exemestane (E), or letrozole (L) with or without tamoxifen (T) in postmenopausal women with hor…
2017
515 Background: Uncertainty still exists regarding the optimal schedule of adjuvant treatment of breast cancer with aromatase inhibitors (AI) and no trial has ever compared all the three AI. Methods: FATA-GIM3 is a multicenter, open label, 2x3 factorial phase 3 randomized study of adjuvant A, E and L upfront (UP - for 5 years) or sequentially (SEQ - for 3 years after 2 years of T) in postmenopausal HR breast cancer pts. Two comparisons were planned: UP vs SEQ and A vs E vs L. DFS (including local or distant relapse, second breast or non-breast cancer, DCIS and death, whichever came first) was the primary end-point; 2% at 5 yrs (corresponding to a HR of 0.79) was defined as the minimum diff…
Palbociclib plus endocrine therapy in HER2 negative, hormonal receptor-positive, advanced breast cancer: A real-world experience
2019
Data from 423 human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2−), hormone receptor-positive (HR+) advanced breast cancer (aBC) patients treated with palbociclib and endocrine therapy (ET) were provided by 35 Italian cancer centers and analyzed for treatment outcomes. Overall, 158 patients were treated in first line and 265 in second/later lines. We observed 19 complete responses and 112 partial responses. The overall response rate (ORR) was 31% (95% confidence interval [CI], 26.6–35.4) and clinical benefit was 52.7% (95% CI, 48–57.5). ORR was negatively affected by prior exposure to everolimus/exemestane (p = 0.002) and favorably influenced by early line-treatment (p < 0.0001). At…
