Limited clinical activity of palbociclib and ribociclib monotherapy in advanced cancers with cyclin D-CDK4/6 pathway alterations in the Dutch DRUP and Australian MoST trials

The Dutch Drug Rediscovery Protocol (DRUP) and the Australian Cancer Molecular Screening and Therapeutic (MoST) Program are similar nonrandomized, multidrug, pan-cancer trial platforms that aim to identify signals of clinical activity of molecularly matched targeted therapies or immunotherapies outside their approved indications. Here, we report results for advanced or metastatic cancer patients with tumors harboring cyclin D-CDK4/6 pathway alterations treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors palbociclib or ribociclib. We included adult patients that had therapy-refractory solid malignancies with the following alterations: amplifications of CDK4, CDK6, CCND1, CCND2 or CCND3, or complete loss of CDKN2A or SMARCA4. Within MoST, all patients were treated with palbociclib, whereas in DRUP, palbociclib and ribociclib were assigned to different cohorts (defined by tumor type and alteration). The primary endpoint for this combined analysis was clinical benefit, defined as confirmed objective response or stable disease ≥16 weeks. We treated 139 patients with a broad variety of tumor types; 116 with palbociclib and 23 with ribociclib. In 112 evaluable patients, the objective response rate was 0% and clinical benefit rate at 16 weeks was 15%. Median progression-free survival was 4 months (95% CI: 3-5 months), and median overall survival 5 months (95% CI: 4-6 months). In conclusion, only limited clinical activity of palbociclib and ribociclib monotherapy in patients with pretreated cancers harboring cyclin D-CDK4/6 pathway alterations was observed. Our findings indicate that monotherapy use of palbociclib or ribociclib is not recommended and that merging data of two similar precision oncology trials is feasible.

2型糖尿病患者身体成分改变与心脑血管疾病风险关系的研究进展

2型糖尿病(T2DM)患病率逐年上升,已成为影响人群身心健康的第三大慢性非传染性疾病.T2DM可增加发生冠心病、脑梗死等心脑血管疾病的风险.T2DM患者身体成分发生改变,主要表现为内脏脂肪增多、骨密度减低等,而肥胖及内脏脂肪增多与心脑血管疾病的发生密切相关.T2DM患者身体成分的改变可能与心脑血管疾病风险存在相关性.本文就T2DM患者身体成分改变与心脑血管疾病风险升高的相关性进行综述,为今后的研究提供方向.     

1470 nm激光在解剖性切除非肌层浸润性膀胱癌中的临床应用

目的探讨1470 nm激光在解剖性切除非肌层浸润性膀胱癌中的临床疗效。方法回顾性分析2018年1月至2019年12月于本院泌尿外科行1470 nm激光解剖性切除浅表性膀胱肿瘤患者60例的临床资料,所有患者均通过膀胱镜检查和CT或MRI检查,术前诊断为非肌层浸润性膀胱癌。分析1470 nm激光在解剖性切除非肌层浸润性膀胱癌中的应用效果。结果所有患者均顺利完成手术,无中转开放手术,并且术中无并发症,手术时间为10~30 min,平均(15.3±4.9)min,术后冲洗液无色或淡粉色,未见血块,术后1周拔除导尿管。结论1470 nm激光应用于解剖性切除浅表性膀胱肿瘤中效果显著,具有无瘤原则,利于肿瘤分期,可减少闭孔反射。
