RESUMO

Romidepsin (histone deacetylase inhibitor), lenalidomide (immunomodulatory agent), and carfilzomib (proteasome inhibitor), have efficacy and lack cumulative toxicity in relapsed/refractory lymphoma. We performed two investigator initiated sequential phase I studies to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of romidepsin and lenalidomide (regimen A) and romidepsin, lenalidomide, and carfilzomib (regimen B) in relapsed/refractory lymphoma. Cohorts in T-cell lymphoma (TCL), B-cell lymphoma (BCL) were enrolled at the MTD. Forty-nine patients were treated in study A (27 TCL, 17 BCL, 5 Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)) and 27 (16 TCL, 11 BCL) in study B. The MTD of regimen A was romidepsin 14 mg/m2 IV on days 1, 8, and 15 and lenalidomide 25 mg oral on days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle. The MTD of regimen B was romidepsin 8 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8, lenalidomide 10 mg oral on days 1-14 and carfilzomib 36 mg/m2 IV on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. In study A, 94% had AEs ≥Grade 3, most commonly neutropenia (49%), thrombocytopenia (53%), and electrolyte abnormalities (49%). In study B 59% had AEs ≥Grade 3, including thrombocytopenia (30%) and neutropenia (26%). In study A the ORR was 49% (50% TCL, 47% BCL, 50% HL). In study B the ORR was 48% (50% TCL, 50% BCL). For study A and B the median progression free survival (PFS) was 5.7 months and 3.4 months respectively with 11 patients proceeding to allogeneic transplant. The combinations of romidepsin and lenalidomide and of romidepsin, lenalidomide and carfilzomib showed activity in relapsed/refractory lymphoma with an acceptable safety profile.

RESUMO

Olfactory cancer detection shows promise as an affordable, precise, and noninvasive way to screen for cancer. This review focuses on two methods of olfactory cancer detection: first, the ability of canines to differentiate between cancerous and healthy individuals through the use of biological samples and second, electronic nose technology that uses chemical sensors to detect known biomarkers in exhaled breath. This review summarizes and critiques past research and outlines future directions to improve understanding of both canine olfaction and electronic nose technology.

RESUMO

PI3K-δ inhibitors have shown impressive activity in lymphoid malignancies but have been hampered by autoimmune and infectious toxicities, leading to market withdrawals. We previously demonstrated activity of the PI3K-δγ inhibitor duvelisib in T cell lymphomas (TCLs) that was associated with inflammatory adverse events. As reported here, we conducted a phase 1b/2a study of duvelisib in combination with either romidepsin (n = 66) or bortezomib (n = 32) in patients with relapsed/refractory TCL and found that the addition of romidepsin, but not bortezomib, appeared to increase efficacy while attenuating PI3K inhibitor-driven toxicity. The primary endpoint of the study was to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose of duvelisib, which was 75 mg twice daily when combined with romidepsin versus 25 mg twice daily when combined with bortezomib. The most common adverse events were neutropenia (42%, 25/59) and fatigue (37%, 22/59) in patients treated with duvelisib and romidepsin and diarrhea (48%, 11/23) and neutropenia (30%, 7/23) in patients treated with duvelisib and bortezomib. Duvelisib and romidepsin resulted in less grade 3/4 hepatotoxicity (14%, 8/59) compared to 40% (14/35) in our previous study with duvelisib monotherapy. This was associated with reductions in circulating inflammatory mediators and myeloid cell inflammatory gene expression. Secondary endpoints of overall and complete response rates were 55% (35/64) and 34% (22/64) for patients treated with duvelisib and romidepsin and 34% (11/32) and 13% (4/32) for patients treated with duvelisib and bortezomib. Among patients with peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCLs), overall and complete response rates of duvelisib and romidepsin were 56% (27/48) and 44% (21/48), respectively, with exploratory analyses showing increased response rates in patients with a follicular helper T cell subtype. These findings support further development of combined PI3K and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition in TCLs and suggest a unique strategy to enable PI3K inhibitor-based combinations for additional patient populations.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Antiretroviral treatment (ART) has improved the life expectancy of patients living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). As these patients age, they are at increased risk for developing non-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome defining malignancies (NADMs) such as colon cancers. AIM: To determine which factors are associated with the development of precancerous polyps on screening colonoscopy in patients with HIV and to investigate whether HIV disease status, measured by viral load and CD4 count, might influence precancerous polyp development. METHODS: A retrospective review of records at two urban academic medical centers was performed for HIV patients who had a screening colonoscopy between 2005-2015. Patients with a history of colorectal cancer or polyps, poor bowel preparation, or inflammatory bowel disease were excluded. Demographic data such as sex, age, race, and body mass index (BMI) as well as information regarding the HIV disease status such as CD4 count, viral load, and medication regimen were collected. Well-controlled patients were defined as those that had viral load < 50 copies, and poorly-controlled patients were those with viral load ≥ 50. Patients were also stratified based on their CD4 count, comparing those with a low CD4 count to those with a high CD4 count. Using colonoscopy reports in the medical record, the size, histology, and number of polyps were recorded for each patient. Precancerous polyps included adenomas and proximal serrated polyps. Data was analyzed using Fisher's exact tests and logistic regression through SAS 3.8 software. RESULTS: Two hundred and seven patients met our inclusion criteria. The mean age was 56.13 years, and 58% were males. There were no significant differences in terms of age, race or ethnicity, insurance, and smoking status between patients with CD4 counts above or below 500. BMI was lower in patients with CD4 count < 500 as compared to those with count > 500 (P = 0.0276). In patients with CD4 > 500, 53.85% of patients were female, and 70.87% of patients with CD4 < 500 were male (P = 0.0004). Only 1.92% of patients with CD4 ≥ 500 had precancerous polyps vs 10.68% of patients with CD4 < 500 (P = 0.0102). When controlled for sex, BMI, and ART use, patients with CD4 < 500 were 9.01 times more likely to have precancerous polyps [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.69-47.97; P = 0.0100]. Patients taking non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors were also found to be 10.23 times more likely to have precancerous polyps (95%CI: 1.08-97.15; P = 0.0428). There was not a significant difference noted in precancerous polyps between those that had viral loads greater or less than 50 copies. CONCLUSION: Patients with low CD4 counts were more likely to have precancerous polyps on their screening colonoscopy although the etiology for this association is unclear. We also found an increased risk of precancerous polyps in patients taking non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, which is contradictory to prior literature showing ART has decreased the risk of development of NADMs. However, there have not been studies looking at colorectal cancer and ART by drug class, to our knowledge. Further prospective studies are needed to determine the effect of HIV control and therapies on polyp development.

RESUMO

Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a significant role in the aging process and in neurodegenerative diseases including several hereditary spinocerebellar ataxias and other movement disorders marked by progressive degeneration of the cerebellum. The goal of this protocol is to assess mitochondrial dysfunction in Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) and assess the efficacy of pharmacological targeting of metabolic respiration via the water-soluble compound succinic acid to slow disease progression. This approach is applicable to other cerebellar diseases and can be adapted to a host of water-soluble therapies. Ex vivo analysis of mitochondrial respiration is used to detect and quantify disease-related changes in mitochondrial function. With genetic evidence (unpublished data) and proteomic evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction in the SCA1 mouse model, we evaluate the efficacy of treatment with the water-soluble metabolic booster succinic acid by dissolving this compound directly into the home cage drinking water. The ability of the drug to pass the blood brain barrier can be deduced using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The efficacy of these compounds can then be tested using multiple behavioral paradigms including the accelerating rotarod, balance beam test and footprint analysis. Cytoarchitectural integrity of the cerebellum can be assessed using immunofluorescence assays that detect Purkinje cell nuclei and Purkinje cell dendrites and soma. These methods are robust techniques for determining mitochondrial dysfunction and the efficacy of treatment with water-soluble compounds in cerebellar neurodegenerative disease.

RESUMO

Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a significant role in neurodegenerative disease including ataxias and other movement disorders, particularly those marked by progressive degeneration in the cerebellum. In this study, we investigate the role of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) deficits in cerebellar tissue of a Purkinje cell-driven spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) mouse. Using RNA sequencing transcriptomics, OXPHOS complex assembly analysis and oxygen consumption assays, we report that in the presence of mutant polyglutamine-expanded ataxin-1, SCA1 mice display deficits in cerebellar OXPHOS complex I (NADH-coenzyme Q oxidoreductase). Complex I genes are upregulated at the time of symptom onset and upregulation persists into late stage disease; yet, functional assembly of complex I macromolecules are diminished and oxygen respiration through complex I is reduced. Acute treatment of postsymptomatic SCA1 mice with succinic acid, a complex II (succinate dehydrogenase) electron donor to bypass complex I dysfunction, ameliorated cerebellar OXPHOS dysfunction, reduced cerebellar pathology and improved motor behavior. Thus, exploration of mitochondrial dysfunction and its role in neurodegenerative ataxias, and warrants further investigation.
