RESUMO

The incidence of brain metastasis has been increasing for 10 years, with poor prognosis, unlike the improvement in survival for extracranial tumor localizations. Since recent advances in molecular biology and the development of specific molecular targets, knowledge of the brain distribution of drugs has become a pharmaceutical challenge. Most anticancer drugs fail to cross the blood-brain barrier. In order to get around this problem and penetrate the brain parenchyma, the use of intrathecal administration has been developed, but the mechanisms governing drug distribution from the cerebrospinal fluid to the brain parenchyma are poorly understood. Thus, in this review we discuss the pharmacokinetics of drugs after intrathecal administration, their penetration of the brain parenchyma and the different systems causing their efflux from the brain to the blood.

RESUMO

AIMS: Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is frequently prescribed to prevent chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, but the administration schedule remains empirical in case of bimonthly chemotherapy such as FOLFIRINOX regimen. This pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) study was performed to determine the effect of different G-CSF regimens on the incidence and duration of neutropenia following FOLFIRINOX administration in order to propose an optimal G-CSF dosing schedule. METHODS: A population PK/PD model was developed to describe individual neutrophil time course from absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) obtained in 40 advanced cancer patients receiving FOLFIRINOX regimen. The structural model considered ANC dynamics, neutropenic effect of cytotoxics and the stimulating effect of G-CSF on neutrophils. Final model estimates were used to simulate different G-CSF dosing schedules for 1000 virtual subjects. The incidence and duration of neutropenia were then calculated for different G-CSF dosing schedules. RESULTS: The final model successfully described the myelosuppressive effect induced by the 3 cytotoxics for all patients. Simulations showed that pegfilgrastim administration reduced the risk of severe neutropenia by 22.9% for subjects with low ANC at the start of chemotherapy. Median duration in this group was also shortened by 3.1 days when compared to absence of G-CSF. Delayed G-CSF administration was responsible for higher incidence and longer duration of neutropenia compared to absence of administration. CONCLUSION: The PK/PD model well described our population's ANC data. Simulations showed that pegylated-G-CSF administration 24 hours after the end of chemotherapy seems to be the optimal schedule to reduce FOLFIRINOX-induced neutropenia. We also underline the potential negative effect of G-CSF maladministration.

RESUMO

Despite major therapeutic advances for two decades, including the most recently approved anti-HER2 drugs, brain metastatic localizations remain the major cause of death for women with metastatic HER2 breast cancer. The main reason is the limited drug passage of the blood-brain barrier after intravenous injection and the significant efflux of drugs, including monoclocal antibodies, after administration into the cerebrospinal fluid. We hypothesized that this efflux was linked to the presence of a FcRn receptor in the blood-brain barrier. To overcome this efflux, we engineered two Fab fragments of trastuzumab, an anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody, and did a thorough preclinical development for therapeutic translational purpose. We demonstrated the safety and equal efficacy of the Fabs with trastuzumab in vitro, and in vivo using a patient-derived xenograft model of HER2 overexpressing breast cancer. For the pharmacokinetic studies of intra-cerebrospinal fluid administration, we implemented original rat models with catheter implanted into the cisterna magna. After intraventricular administration in rats, we demonstrated that the brain-to-blood efflux of Fab was up to 10 times lower than for trastuzumab, associated with a two-fold higher brain penetration compared to trastuzumab. This Fab, capable of significantly reducing brain-to-blood efflux and enhancing brain penetration after intra-cerebrospinal fluid injection, could thus be a new and original effective drug in the treatment of HER2 breast cancer brain metastases, which will be demonstrated by a phase I clinical trial dedicated to women in resort situations.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Despite considerable therapeutic advances in the last 20 years, metastatic cancers remain a major cause of death. We previously identified prominin-2 (PROM2) as a biomarker predictive of distant metastases and decreased survival, thus providing a promising bio-target. In this translational study, we set out to decipher the biological roles of PROM2 during the metastatic process and resistance to cell death, in particular for metastatic melanoma. METHODS AND RESULTS: Methods and results: We demonstrated that PROM2 overexpression was closely linked to an increased metastatic potential through the increase of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) marker expression and ferroptosis resistance. This was also found in renal cell carcinoma and triple negative breast cancer patient-derived xenograft models. Using an oligonucleotide anti-sense anti-PROM2, we efficaciously decreased PROM2 expression and prevented metastases in melanoma xenografts. We also demonstrated that PROM2 was implicated in an aggravation loop, contributing to increase the metastatic burden both in murine metastatic models and in patients with metastatic melanoma. The metastatic burden is closely linked to PROM2 expression through the expression of EMT markers and ferroptosis cell death resistance in a deterioration loop. CONCLUSION: Our results open the way for further studies using PROM2 as a bio-target in resort situations in human metastatic melanoma and also in other cancer types.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Diabetes negatively impacts cancer prognosis. The objective of this work was to evaluate a tripartite oncologist-pharmacist-diabetologist collaboration in the management of patients with diabetes starting chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The prospective ONCODIAB study (NCT04315857) included 102 adults with diabetes starting chemotherapy by whom a continuous glucose monitoring device was worn for fourteen days from the first day of the first and second chemotherapy cycles. The primary outcome was to assess pharmacist and diabetologist interventions. The secondary outcome was to evaluate the impact of the ONCODIAB follow-up on individualized patient glycemic targets at 6 months. RESULTS: A total of 191 (2 per patient) were made either by clinical pharmacists (n = 95) or diabetologists (n = 96) during the first two chemotherapy cycles. The anatomic therapeutic chemical drug classes most frequently involved in pharmacist interventions were cardiovascular system (23%), alimentary tract and metabolism (22%), and anti-infectives for systemic use (14%). Diabetologists modified the antidiabetic treatment in 58 (62%) of patients: dose reduction (34%), drug discontinuation (28%), drug addition (24%), and dose increase (15%). Glycated hemoglobin decreased from 7.6 ± 1.7% at baseline to 7.1 ± 1.1% at 6 months (p = 0.02). Compared to individualized targets, HbA1c was higher, in the interval, or lower in 29%, 44%, and 27% of patients at baseline vs. in 8%, 70%, and 22% of patients at 6 months, respectively (p < 10-3). CONCLUSIONS: In our study, a close collaboration between oncologists, pharmacists, and diabetologists helped by continuous glucose monitoring led to overall medication optimization and better glycemic control in patients with diabetes starting chemotherapy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Clear-cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCCs) are malignant tumors with high metastatic potential and resistance to treatments occurs almost constantly. Compared to primary tumors, there are still limited genomic data that has been obtained from metastatic samples. METHODS: We aimed to characterize metastatic ccRCC by way of whole-genome analyses of metastatic formalin-fixed samples, using OncoScan® technology. We identified a frequent, unexpected pL1575P NOTCH1 mutation which we set out to characterize for translational purposes. We thus implemented patient-derived xenografts from metastatic samples of human ccRCC to explore its clinical significance. RESULTS: We showed that pL1575P NOTCH1 mutation was an activating mutation, leading to the expression of NOTCH1-intracellular domain-active fragments in both cancer cells and tumor endothelial cells, suggesting a trans-differentiation of cancer cells into tumor micro-vessels. We demonstrated that this mutation could be used as a predictive biomarker of response to CB-103, a specific NOTCH1-intracellular domain inhibitor. One striking result was the considerable anti-angiogenic effect, coherent with the presence of NOTCH1 mutation in tumor micro-vessels. CONCLUSIONS: We identified a frequent, unexpected pL1575P_c4724T_C NOTCH1 mutation as a new biomarker for ccRCC metastases, predictive of response to the CB103 NOTCH1-intracellular domain inhibitor.

RESUMO

AIMS: The aim of our study was to assess, with Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), exhaustive information on the glucose profile in people with diabetes starting chemotherapy. We also evaluated the adaptation of glucose-lowering drugs following analysis of CGM recordings. METHODS: Eighty-five people with diabetes starting chemotherapy were included in the ONCODIAB study. A CGM was worn for up to fourteen days in blinded mode before and after the diabetologist's intervention to evaluate the impact of modifying the glucose-lowering drugs. RESULTS: Time spent in range was 67.2 ± 24.2%. Time below the target glucose range (TBR) (< 70 mg/dl) was 8.9% in all the study population. TBR was significantly higher in patients treated with at least one drug due to the risk of hypoglycemia compared to the others (11.5% vs. 4.4%, p = 0.009). Sixty-five patients had available sensor data for the two recordings. Forty-one patients (51.9%) saw a decrease in their antidiabetic treatment after the diabetologist's intervention guided by the first CGM recording. We observed a significant reduction in the time spent below the target glucose range (70-55 mg/dl) between the two CGM recordings (10.3 ± 14.6% vs. 6.3 ± 9.4%, p = 0.016 and 3.8 ± 8.4% vs. 1.2 ± 2.9%, p = 0.012, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: CGM use in blinded mode could be an interesting tool to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia in people with diabetes starting chemotherapy. Our findings fully support the recommendation that assessing hypoglycemia risk should be mandatory in patients with diabetes before starting chemotherapy.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a common complication of bariatric surgery. Digestive decontamination treatments with oral antibiotic therapy vary and are not codified. This retrospective study was conducted to analyse the characteristics of bariatric surgery patients who underwent a glucose breath test (GBT) and to analyse the effectiveness of the antibiotic decontamination therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 101 operated patients (Roux-en-Y bypass (RYB), omega bypass (ΩB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG)) who underwent a GBT (75 g/250 mL) were included. Anthropometric data, symptoms of SIBO, type of surgery, use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and antibiotic therapy were analysed. The effectiveness of the antibiotic treatment, defined by improvement of the symptoms, was evaluated during the follow-up. RESULTS: Of the 85 women and 16 men included (48.5 ± 3.6 years old), 63 underwent RYB, 31 underwent ΩB and 7 underwent SG. The GBT was positive in 83% of the patients. A positive test was associated with age (p < 0.001), female sex (p < 0.01) and PPI use (p < 0.01), but there was no significant difference according to the type of surgery. Sixty-one percent of patients treated with gentamicin/metronidazole sequential antibiotic therapy and 58% of patients treated with metronidazole alone achieved treatment efficacy (with no significant difference in efficacy between these treatments). CONCLUSION: SIBO should be systematically considered in the context of abdominal symptoms in bariatric surgery patients, regardless the type of surgery, particularly in patients who are older or female and after PPI treatment. Digestive decontamination appears to be similar between gentamycin/metronidazole and metronidazole treatments.
