Synthesis, chemical characterization and preliminary in vitro antitumor activity evaluation of new ruthenium(II) complexes with sugar derivatives

2011

Abstract Three new complexes of Ru(II), namely [RuCl 2 (Glun-N,O) 2 ]Na 2 ( I ; Glun = glucosaminate), [RuCl 2 (1-Tglu)(EtOH) 2 ]Na ( II ; 1-Tglu = 1-thio-β- d -glucose) and [Ru 2 (EtOH) 6 (AL)Cl 4 ] ( III ; AL = 6′-aminolactose) were prepared from the same Ru(II) precursor, [RuCl 2 (DMSO) 4 ] (DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide). The characterization of the complexes was carried out by elemental analysis, FT-IR, ES-MS, NMR, EXAFS and DFT calculations. The effectiveness of the complexes on metastatic melanoma A 375 was investigated. The results show that complex II is the most active species.

Non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide as first-line therapy in elderly women with HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer.

2022

Background. The use of anthracyclines in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is limited by cumulative dose-dependent cardiotoxicity mostly in elderly women with comorbidities. The aim of this observational retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Myocet®) and cyclophosphamide in elderly women as HER2 negative first-line MBC treatment. Methods. 84 elderly women >70 years of age (median age 78 years) with MBC HER2 negative were enrolled. Performance Status in 58 patients was ECOG-0 and in 26 patients was ECOG-1. Results. The drug was well tolerated, with overall response rates were >40%, median overall survival was 16.2 months (95%CI:14.6- 18.8…

Determination of essential biomarkers in lung cancer: a real-world data study in Spain with demographic, clinical, epidemiological and pathological c…

2022

Abstract Background The survival of patients with lung cancer has substantially increased in the last decade by about 15%. This increase is, basically, due to targeted therapies available for advanced stages and the emergence of immunotherapy itself. This work aims to study the situation of biomarker testing in Spain. Patients and methods The Thoracic Tumours Registry (TTR) is an observational, prospective, registry-based study that included patients diagnosed with lung cancer and other thoracic tumours, from September 2016 to 2020. This TTR study was sponsored by the Spanish Lung Cancer Group (GECP) Foundation, an independent, scientific, multidisciplinary oncology society that coordinates…

Balixafortide (a CXCR4 antagonist) + eribulin in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC): Survival outcomes of the phase I trial.

2019

2606 Background: Balixafortide (B) is a potent antagonist of the chemokine receptor CXCR4. Preclinical evidence suggests that disrupting CXCR4 dependent pathways prevents development of breast cancer metastases, enhances the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and counteracts tumor cell evasion of the immune system. Encouraging safety and efficacy data were published recently from the ongoing Phase 1 trial investigating B + eribulin (E) in patients with HER2 negative MBC (Pernas S. et al. Lancet Oncol. 2018; 19: 812−24). The objective response rate, median progression free survival and median overall survival (OS) for the expanded cohort (EC) and the overall efficacy popula…

Can the plasma PD-1 levels predict the presence and efficiency of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in metastatic melanoma patients?

2019

e14035 Background: The immune response to melanoma has been shown to be locally affected by presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), generally divided into brisk (infiltrating the entire base of the invasive tumor), non-brisk (infiltrating only focally) and absent. Several studies showed that greater presence of TILs, especially brisk, in primary melanoma is associated with a better prognosis and a higher survival rate. Since recent studies revealed an association between PD-1/PD-L1 expression levels and tumor response, the aim of our study was to investigate the correlation between plasma PD-1 and presence/absence/class of TILs in metastatic melanoma patients. Methods: The plasm…

Abstract PR10: Inhibition of deacetylase SIRT1 offers a novel treatment option in metastatic Ewing sarcoma

2014

Abstract Metastasis is the major cause of disease-related death in Ewing sarcoma. Patients, who present with clinically overt disseminated disease at diagnosis and those who relapse early with distant metastases have a poor outcome despite multi-modal high-dose chemotherapy. Therefore, new treatment options are highly warranted. Ewing sarcoma pathogenesis is driven by the chimeric ETS oncogene EWS-FLI1. We here describe regulation of sirtuin SIRT1 by EWS-FLI1 and its role in metastasis. SIRT1 belongs to a family of NAD+-dependent group III deacetylases that target histone and non-histone proteins in response to metabolic stress resulting in widespread gene expression changes through epigene…

Balixafortide (a CXCR4 antagonist) plus eribulin in HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer: Dose-response analysis of efficacy from phase I single-ar…

2020

e15209 Background: Balixafortide (B) is a potent, selective antagonist of the chemokine receptor CXCR4. High CXCR4 levels correlate with aggressive metastatic phenotypes and poor prognosis in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Efficacy and safety data were published recently from the Phase 1 trial investigating B + eribulin (E) in patients with HER2 negative MBC1. We report the final efficacy analyses from this trial, including assessment of dose-response. Methods: In this single-arm, dose escalation trial, patients (pts) received E + increasing doses of B using a 3+3 design in 3 parts: Part I (cohorts received low E doses); Part II (dose-escalation cohort for B [1−5.5mg/kg] + 1.4mg/m2 E); Ex…

Stereotactic body radiotherapy in oligoprogressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer during abiraterone or enzalutamide

2022

Introduction: This monocentric, single-arm, retrospective study investigated the role of stereotactic body radiotherapy in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer who experienced oligoprogression during androgen receptor targeted agents. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer patients treated with androgen receptor targeted agents between December 2016 and January 2022. All patients experienced an oligoprogression (defined as the appearance and/or the progression of ⩽5 bone or nodal or soft tissue metastases) during treatment with androgen receptor targeted agents and received stereotactic body radiotherapy upon oligoprogre…

Abstract PD1-02: A phase I/Ib study evaluating GDC-0077 + palbociclib (palbo) + fulvestrant in patients (pts) with PIK3CA-mutant (mut), hormone recep…

2021

Abstract Background GDC-0077 is a PI3Kα-selective inhibitor and mutant PI3Kα degrader that demonstrates antitumor activity in PIK3CAmut BC xenograft models. A phase I/Ib study of GDC-0077 alone and combined with endocrine therapy ± the CDK4/6 inhibitor (i) palbo is ongoing (NCT03006172). Data from GDC-0077 + palbo + fulvestrant in pts with PIK3CAmut, HR+/HER2- mBC are presented herein. Methods Safety (NCI-CTCAE v4), pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary antitumor activity (clinical benefit rate [CBR]: RECIST v1.1 stable disease for ≥ 24 weeks, partial response [PR], or complete response) of 9 mg oral once daily GDC-0077 + 125 mg palbo 21/28 days + 500 mg intramuscular fulvestrant on day 1 …
