PURPOSE: Cyclin inhibitors plus endocrine therapy represent the reference standard for hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (ABC). Efficacy results on hard end points such as overall survival come from well-designed randomized clinical trials (RCTs). However, a limitation of RCTs is the low external results validity, and their extrapolation to a broader population may not be appropriate. Real-world studies can overcome these limitations, also increasing the reliability of RCTs...

Locally advanced breast cancer poses significant challenges to the multidisciplinary team, in particular with hormone receptor (HR) positive, HER2-negative tumors that classically yield lower pathological complete responses with chemotherapy. The increasingly significant use of CDK 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) plus endocrine therapy (ET) in different breast cancer settings has led to clinical trials focusing on this strategy as a primary treatment, with promising results. The impact of the microbiota on cancer, and vice-versa, is an emerging topic in oncology...

INTRODUCTION: Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors are cornerstones in the treatment of Hormone Receptor (HR) positive and Human Epidermal Growth factor (HER2) negative metastatic breast cancer. Given their widespread use in the metastatic setting and emerging use in the adjuvant setting, studying the drug-drug interactions (DDI) of these medications is of utmost importance. AREAS COVERED: This review provides key background information on the CDK4/6 inhibitors, palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib...

INTRODUCTION: Overwhelming neutrophil activation and oxidative stress significantly contribute to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) pathogenesis. However, the potential of repurposing ribociclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor used clinically in cancer treatment, for treating neutrophilic ARDS remains uncertain. This study illustrated the ability and underlying mechanism of ribociclib for treating ARDS and neutrophilic inflammation. METHODS: Primary human neutrophils were used to determine the therapeutic effects of ribociclib on respiratory bursts, chemotactic responses, and inflammatory signaling...

The increasing utilization of artificial intelligence algorithms in drug development has proven to be highly efficient and effective. One area where deep learning-based approaches have made significant contributions is in drug repositioning, enabling the identification of new therapeutic applications for existing drugs. In the present study, a trained deep-learning model was employed to screen a library of FDA-approved drugs to discover novel inhibitors targeting JAK2. To accomplish this, reference datasets containing active and decoy compounds specific to JAK2 were obtained from the DUD-E database...

PURPOSE: Endocrine therapy (ET) in combination with CDK 4/6 inhibitors (CDK 4/6i) is the standard treatment modality for hormone receptor (HR)-positive and HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (mBC). There is uncertainty about the prognostic and predictive value of HER2-low status and whether HER2-low BC is an individual biologic subtype. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prognostic effect of HER2 expression status on survival in mBC patients treated with first-line ET plus CDK 4/6i...

BACKGROUND: Ribociclib has been shown to have a significant overall survival benefit in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer. Whether this benefit in advanced breast cancer extends to early breast cancer is unclear. METHODS: In this international, open-label, randomized, phase 3 trial, we randomly assigned patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer in a 1:1 ratio to receive ribociclib (at a dose of 400 mg per day for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week off, for 3 years) plus a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI; letrozole at a dose of 2...

AIMS: This study aimed to improve personalized treatment strategies and predict survival outcomes for patients with uveal melanoma (UM). BACKGROUND: Copy number aberrations (CNAs) have been considered as a main feature of metastatic UM. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to explore the feasibility of using copy number variation (CNV) in UM classification, prognosis stratification and treatment response. METHODS: The CNV data in the TCGA-UVM cohort were used to classify the samples...

The only phase 3 study on the effectiveness of CDK 4-6 inhibitors in first-line treatment in premenopausal patients with hormone receptor (HR) positive, HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer is the MONALEESA-7 study, and data on the effectiveness of palbociclib is limited. Data are also limited regarding the effectiveness of CDK 4-6 inhibitors in patients whose dose was reduced due to neutropenia, the most common side effect of CDK 4-6 inhibitors. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of palbociclib and ribociclib in first-line treatment in patients with premenopausal metastatic breast cancer and the effect of dose reduction due to neutropenia on progression-free survival...

Oral endocrine therapies (OET) for breast cancer treatment need to be taken over a long period of time and are associated with considerable side effects. Therefore, adherence to OET is an important issue and of high clinical significance for breast cancer patients' caregivers. We hypothesized that a new bioanalytical strategy based on liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry might be suitable for unbiased adherence monitoring (AM) of OET. Four different biomatrices (plasma, urine, finger prick blood by volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS), oral fluid (OF)) were evaluated regarding their suitability for AM of the OET abemaciclib, anastrozole, exemestane, letrozole, palbociclib, ribociclib, tamoxifen, and endoxifen...

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between CDK4/6 inhibitors and QT interval prolongation (QTp) and Torsades de Pointes (TdP) in breast cancer patients. METHOD: The cases with breast cancer from 2015 to 2022 were extracted from the FDA adverse event database (FARES) and further divided into a CDK4/6 inhibitor group and a positive control group. The associations between CDK4/6 inhibitors and QTp and TdP adverse events were evaluated using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) and the information component (IC)...

BACKGROUND: Following the positive iDFS and OS results of the phase III clinical trials monarchE, NATALEE and OlympiA, new oral anticancer agents (the CDK4/6 inhibitors abemaciclib, ribociclib as well as the PARP inhibitor olaparib) have recently been introduced into the treatment of high-risk early breast cancer (eBC). However, only few male patients were included in these trials (0.4%, 0.6% and 0.3%, respectively). The objective of this real-world analysis was to determine the proportion of male patients with eBC fulfilling the clinical high-risk criteria of above-mentioned trials...

Introduction: It is imperative for patients to respect the prescribed treatments to achieve the anticipated clinical outcomes, including the outpatients receiving oral anti-cancer drugs such as selective cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK 4/6i). With the introduction of three CDK 4/6i drugs in the Romanian pharmaceutical market in 2018, our study aimed to evaluate medication adherence and the influencing factors among patients undergoing treatment with palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib for advanced or metastatic breast cancer...

In this study, we performed genomic analyses of cell cycle and tumor microenvironment changes during and after ribociclib and letrozole or chemotherapy in the CORALLEEN trial. 106 women with untreated PAM50-defined Luminal B early breast cancers were randomly assigned to receive neoadjuvant ribociclib and letrozole or standard-of-care chemotherapy. Ki67 immunohistochemistry, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes quantification, and RNA sequencing were obtained from tissue biopsies pre-treatment, on day 14 of treatment, and tumor specimens from surgical resection...

BACKGROUND: T cell exhaustion (TEX) signifies a condition of T cell disorder which implicate the therapeutic benefits and prognostic significance in patients with cancer. However, its role in the Head and Neck Squamous Carcinoma (HNSCC) remains incompletely understood. METHODS: The detailed data of HNSCC samples were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and two Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. We computed the expression scores of four TEX-related pathways and detected gene modules closely linked to these pathways, indicating prognostic significance...
