A randomized double-blind phase II study evaluating the role of maintenance therapy with cabozantinib in high-grade uterine sarcoma after stabilization or response to doxorubicin ± ifosfamide following surgery or in metastatic first line treatment (EORTC62113).
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-10-01)BACKGROUND: Uterine sarcomas are a group of rare tumors that include different subtypes. Patients with histopathological high-grade diseases are at high-risk of recurrence or progression, and have a poor prognosis. We aim ... -
A phase 1/2 study of the combination of acalabrutinib and vistusertib in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2021-07-15)In a phase 1b study of acalabrutinib (a covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor) in combination with vistusertib (a dual mTORC1/2 inhibitor) in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), ... -
Avapritinib Versus Regorafenib in Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic GI Stromal Tumor: A Randomized, Open-Label Phase III Study.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2021-10-01)PURPOSE: Primary or secondary mutations in KIT or platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) underlie tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance in most GI stromal tumors (GISTs). Avapritinib selectively and potently ... -
Relationship Between Baseline Rectal Tumor Length and Magnetic Resonance Tumor Regression Grade Response to Chemoradiotherapy: A Subanalysis of the TRIGGER Feasibility Study.
(SPRINGER, 2022-06-30)BACKGROUND: It is widely believed that small rectal tumors are more likely to have a good response to neoadjuvant treatment, which may influence the selection of patients for a 'watch and wait' strategy. OBJECTIVE: The aim ... -
Subgroup analyses in randomized controlled trials frequently categorized continuous subgroup information.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2022-07-02)BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To investigate how subgroup analyses of published Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) are performed when subgroups are created from continuous variables. METHODS: We carried out a review of RCTs ... -
Immunotherapy of sarcomas with modified T cells.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2022-07-01)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To summarize the development of modified T-cell therapies in sarcomas and discuss relevant published and ongoing clinical trials to date. RECENT FINDINGS: Numerous clinical trials are underway evaluating ... -
Crizotinib-Resistant ROS1 G2101A Mutation Associated With Sensitivity to Lorlatinib in ROS1-Rearranged NSCLC: Case Report.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-09-01)gene rearrangements occur in 1% to 2% of NSCLC. Acquired "on-target" mutations within the ROS1 kinase domain are a known resistance mechanism to the first-line ROS1 inhibitor crizotinib. Here, we report the first case of ... -
Clinical Benefit of Ripretinib Dose Escalation After Disease Progression in Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: An Analysis of the INVICTUS Study.
(WILEY, 2021-08-16)BACKGROUND: Ripretinib 150 mg once daily (QD) is indicated for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) as at least fourth-line therapy. In INVICTUS, ripretinib intrapatient dose escalation (IPDE) to 150 mg b.i.d. ... -
CD4+ T cell and M2 macrophage infiltration predict dedifferentiated liposarcoma patient outcomes.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-08-01)BACKGROUND: Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is one of the most common soft tissue sarcoma subtypes and is devastating in the advanced/metastatic stage. Despite the observation of clinical responses to PD-1 inhibitors, ... -
Beyond the Driver Mutation: Immunotherapies in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-08-20)Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are a subtype of soft tissue sarcoma (STS), and have become a concept of oncogenic addiction and targeted therapies.The large majority of these tumors develop after a mutation in KIT ... -
Avapritinib in Patients With Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors Following at Least Three Prior Lines of Therapy.
(WILEY, 2021-02-01)BACKGROUND: Most gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) driven by KIT or platelet-derived growth factor receptor A (PDGFRA) mutations develop resistance to available tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatments. NAVIGATOR ... -
