Trabectedin (T) as second line treatment option for patients with epithelioid malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) in progression following pemetrexed/platin-derivates chemotherapy: ATREUS trial.
Abstract:8513 Background: Systemic chemotherapy in MPM is inevitably followed by relapse, and response rates to second line treatment are limited. T is an antineoplastic agent targeting both the malignant cells and the tumor microenvironment with demonstrated activity against a range of tumors. We aimed to study the activity and safety of T in advanced MPM. Methods: ATREUS, an Italian multicenter single arm phase II trial, assessed the activity T in MPM evaluating the proportion of patients responding to treatment and… Show more
“…A phase II basket trial explored the antibody-drug conjugate ado-trastuzumab, also known as T-DM1, in patients with HER2-amplified and HER2-mutant advanced solid cancers, at 3.6 mg/kg every 3 weeks until disease progression [6]. T-DM1 consists of trastuzumab and the cytotoxic agent emtansine, and it has already been approved for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer.…”

“…However, patients invariably relapse on crizotinib treatment, with the central nervous system (CNS) being one of the most common and challenging sites of relapse. The second-generation ALK inhibitor alectinib is more potent than crizotinib [1,2] and shows clinical activity in crizotinib-resistant NSCLC [3][4][5][6]. Notably, trial data have indicated significant CNS activity.…”

“…In EGFRmutant NSCLC, the receptor tyrosine kinase MET is expressed in approximately 25 % to 75 % of cases and represents a mechanism of acquired resistance to EGFR inhibition. The bivalent MET antibody emibetuzumab was tested in a phase II study that evaluated addition of emibetuzumab to first-line erlotinib, with the purpose being to delay acquired resistance to erlotinib in EGFR-mutant, metastatic NSCLC patients [6]. Only patients who showed disease control after an 8-week erlotinib lead-in were randomised to either emibetuzumab plus erlotinib (n = 71) or erlotinib alone (n = 70).…”

Malignant mesothelioma diseases feature an increasing risk due to their severe forms and their association with asbestos exposure. Platinum(II) complexes such as cisplatin and carboplatin are clinically approved for the therapy of mesothelioma often in combination with antimetabolites such as pemetrexed or gemcitabine. It was observed that pathogenic properties of mesothelioma cells and the response of mesothelioma tumors towards platinum-based drugs are strongly influenced by non-coding RNAs, in particular, by small microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). These non-coding RNAs controlled drug sensitivity and the development of tumor resistance towards platinum drugs. An overview of the interactions between platinum drugs and non-coding RNAs is given and the influence of non-coding RNAs on platinum drug efficacy in mesothelioma is discussed. Suitable non-coding RNA-modulating agents with potentially beneficial effects on cisplatin treatment of mesothelioma diseases are mentioned. The understanding of mesothelioma diseases concerning the interactions of non-coding RNAs and platinum drugs will optimize existing therapy schemes and pave the way to new treatment options in future.
Gemcitabine and pemetrexed are clinically approved antimetabolites for the therapy of mesothelioma diseases. These drugs are often applied in combination with platinum complexes and other drugs. The activity of antimetabolites depended on the expression levels of certain non-coding RNAs, in particular, of small microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). The development of tumor resistance towards antimetabolites was regulated by non-coding RNAs. An overview of the interplay between gemcitabine/pemetrexed antimetabolites and non-coding RNAs in mesothelioma is provided. Further to this, various non-coding RNA-modulating agents are discussed which displayed positive effects on gemcitabine or pemetrexed treatment of mesothelioma diseases. A detailed knowledge of the connections of non-coding RNAs with antimetabolites will be constructive for the design of improved therapies in future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
