RESUMEN

The patient, a 68-year-old man, presented to our emergency room with chest pain, prompting an emergency cardiac catheterization due to elevated cardiac troponin-I levels. While no obvious coronary artery stenosis was found, there was evidence of apical ballooning wall motion in the left ventricle, leading to a diagnosis of takotsubo syndrome. Three months later, he occasionally experienced chest pain at rest, prompting us to conduct another cardiac catheterization. Left ventriculography showed normal contraction. Suddenly, he experienced chest pain accompanied by ST elevation, which occurred spontaneously. Subsequently, slow-flow phenomenon was observed in the intermediate part of left anterior descending artery (LAD). We promptly administered nitroglycerin to alleviate the symptoms. Following the diagnosis of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), he started calcium-channel blocker therapy and remained asymptomatic. One year later, we re-performed cardiac catheterization to further explore his condition. Acetylcholine provocation test was performed, which showed no epicardial coronary spasm. However, lactic acid elevation was observed in the coronary sinus blood sample. Additionally, a coronary physiological measurement in the LAD revealed a high index of microcirculatory resistance and low coronary flow reserve. Based on this series of clinical events, we inferred a significant contribution of CMD to the patient's condition. Learning objective: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is increasingly recognized as an important cardiovascular disease, leading to myocardial ischemia, which is occasionally associated with takotsubo syndrome (TTS). In this report, we present a case of spontaneous CMD associated with TTS. This case emphasizes the significance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, highlighting the importance of recognizing CMD in patients with TTS.

RESUMEN

To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose (RD) of orally-administered bendamustine in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors. The optimal dosing schedule, safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor effects were also evaluated. A multicenter, open-label trial with a standard 3 + 3 design and dose escalation by dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was conducted. The treatment schedules were once daily for 7, 14, and 21 days every 3 weeks as one cycle. The total dose per cycle was increased from 175 to 840 mg/m2. Eighteen patients were enrolled in this study. DLT occurred in one of six patients at 75 mg/m2/day × 7 days, and one of three patients at 37.5 mg/m2/day × 14 days and 25 mg/m2/day × 21 days. However, the delayed recovery from a decrease in neutrophil or platelet count hampered the start of subsequent treatment cycles, and the trend was more prominent at 37.5 mg/m2/day × 14 days and 25 mg/m2/day × 21 days than in 75 mg/m2/day × 7 days. MTD was determined as 75 mg/m2/day × 7 days to allow acceptable hematologic recovery. The pharmacokinetics of orally-administered bendamustine were generally dose-dependent; however, the inter-individual variability is relatively large. The major adverse events were hematologic toxicities; gastrointestinal disorders were generally mild. Adverse drug reactions did not lead to the discontinuation of the drug. A partial response was observed in two of six patients (prostatic small cell carcinoma and thymic carcinoma) at 75 mg/m2/day × 7 days. The RD and optimal dosing schedule of orally-administered bendamustine was 75 mg/m2 once daily for 7 days every 3 weeks for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. (Trial registration number ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03604679. Registration date July 27, 2018).

RESUMEN

High-grade fetal lung adenocarcinoma (H-FLAC) is a rare tumor, with little known of its response to chemotherapy with or without an immune checkpoint inhibitor or of its molecular profile. We report the first case of a 56-year-old man with stage IV H-FLAC who was successfully treated with carboplatin plus nab-paclitaxel in combination with atezolizumab. In addition, the tumor was found to be positive for amplification of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 gene.

RESUMEN

Frail older hospital patients are susceptible to malnutrition and iatrogenic sarcopenia. This can be linked to the decreased appetite and oral intake that can arise in largely bed-bound patients who do not get up even for rehabilitation and meals. The KT index was devised as an easy-to-use evaluation tool to address oral intake issues, and it has potential utility for expediting a multidisciplinary comprehensive rehabilitation program. To our knowledge, no reports have described real-world evidence on multidisciplinary team interventions with this tool. Herein, we report the case of a frail older patient whose oral intake improved following a KT Index-based intervention.

RESUMEN

Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous adenocarcinoma that usually is of epidermal origin and shows glandular differentiation and that is treated by wide local excision depending on the disease extent. For widely metastatic disease, however, a standard treatment remains to be established. Similar to breast cancer, EMPD has been found to overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) or hormone receptors (HRs). Whereas HER2-directed therapy was recently shown to be effective for HER2-positive EMPD, the potential role of endocrine therapy for HR-positive EMPD has remained unknown. We here report a case of metastatic EMPD with HR positivity that was successfully treated with the selective estrogen receptor modulator tamoxifen. This first-line treatment of systemic metastasis resulted in durable tumor regression for > 20 months without any treatment-related toxicities. This is the first report to reveal the promise of tamoxifen as a safe and effective treatment for HR-positive metastatic EMPD.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Juzentaihoto (JTT) is a Kampo prescription that has been used clinically for treating skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis in Japan. We have previously studied the anti-allergic effects of JTT on 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene (TNCB)-induced contact hypersensitivity (CHS) in mice and demonstrated that it significantly suppresses ear swelling in a dose-dependent manner. However, the mechanism underlying the anti-allergic actions of JTT is obscure. METHODS: We investigated the mechanism underlying the anti-allergic effects of JTT using a TNCB-induced murine CHS model and adoptive cell transfer experiments. RESULTS: We showed that the anti-allergic effects of JTT are due to inhibition of effector T-cell activation and induction and/or activation of regulatory T cells. Furthermore, ex vivo experiments confirmed the effect of JTT on the activation of effector T cells and regulatory T cells, as interferon-γ production decreased, whereas interleukin (IL)-10 production increased, in the cultured lymphocytes obtained from 5% TNCB-sensitized mice treated with anti-CD3ε and anti-CD28 monoclonal antibodies. Flow cytometry showed that the CD4+CD25+Foxp3+, CD4+CD25+Foxp3-, and CD8+CD122+ cell population increased after oral administration of JTT. Finally, the anti-allergic effect of JTT by inducing and/or activating regulatory T cells (Tregs) was confirmed to be mediated by IL-10 through in vivo neutralization experiments with anti-IL-10 monoclonal antibodies. CONCLUSION: We suggested that JTT exerts anti-allergic effects by regulating the activation of effector T cells and Tregs involved in murine CHS model.

RESUMEN

C-Glycosides, in which a sugar moiety is linked via a carbon-carbon (C-C) bond to a non-sugar moiety (aglycone), are found in our food and medicine. The C-C bond is cleaved by intestinal microbes and the resulting aglycones exert various bioactivities. Although the enzymes responsible for the reactions have been identified, their catalytic mechanisms and the generality of the reactions in nature remain to be explored. Here, we present the identification and structural basis for the activation of xenobiotic C-glycosides by heterocomplex C-deglycosylation enzymes from intestinal and soil bacteria. They are found to be metal-dependent enzymes exhibiting broad substrate specificity toward C-glycosides. X-ray crystallographic and cryo-electron microscopic analyses, as well as structure-based mutagenesis, reveal the structural details of these enzymes and the detailed catalytic mechanisms of their remarkable C-C bond cleavage reactions. Furthermore, bioinformatic and biochemical analyses suggest that the C-deglycosylation enzymes are widely distributed in the gut, soil, and marine bacteria.

RESUMEN

C-glycosides have a unique structure, in which an anomeric carbon of a sugar is directly bonded to the carbon of an aglycone skeleton. One of the natural C-glycosides, carminic acid, is utilized by the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, for a total of more than 200 tons/y worldwide. However, a metabolic pathway of carminic acid has never been identified. In this study, we isolated the previously unknown carminic acid-catabolizing microorganism and discovered a flavoenzyme "C-glycoside 3-oxidase" named CarA that catalyzes oxidation of the sugar moiety of carminic acid. A Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) search demonstrated that CarA homologs were distributed in soil microorganisms but not intestinal ones. In addition to CarA, two CarA homologs were cloned and heterologously expressed, and their biochemical properties were determined. Furthermore, a crystal structure of one homolog was determined. Together with the biochemical analysis, the crystal structure and a mutagenesis analysis of CarA revealed the mechanisms underlying their substrate specificity and catalytic reaction. Our study suggests that CarA and its homologs play a crucial role in the metabolism of C-glycosides in nature.

RESUMEN

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase domain duplication (KDD) has been identified as an oncogenic driver in 0.05% to 0.14% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, little is known of the efficacy of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for such patients. Here, we report the case of a 45-year-old Japanese woman with NSCLC positive for EGFR-KDD (duplication of exons 18-25) who developed carcinomatous meningitis and showed a marked response to the EGFR-TKIs erlotinib and osimertinib. As far as we are aware, this is the first report of EGFR-TKI efficacy for carcinomatous meningitis in a NSCLC patient harboring EGFR-KDD.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Implementation of personalized medicine requires the accessibility of tumor molecular profiling in order to allow prioritization of appropriate targeted therapies for individual patients. Our aim was to study the role of comprehensive genomic profiling assays that may inform treatment recommendations for patients with solid tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a prospective study to evaluate the feasibility of application of the FoundationOne CDx panel-which detects substitutions, insertions and deletions, and copy number alterations in 324 genes, select gene rearrangements, and genomic signatures including microsatellite instability and tumor mutation burden (TMB)-to patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors before its approval in Japan. RESULTS: A total of 181 samples were processed for genomic testing between September 2018 and June 2019, with data being successfully obtained for 175 of these samples, yielding a success rate of 96.7%. The median turnaround time was 41 days (range, 21-126 days). The most common known or likely pathogenic variants were TP53 mutations (n = 113), PIK3CA mutations (n = 33), APC mutations (n = 32), and KRAS mutations (n = 29). Among the 153 patients assessed for TMB, the median TMB was 4 mutations/Mb, and tumors with a high TMB (≥10 mutations/Mb) were more prevalent for lung cancer (11/32) than for other solid tumor types (9/121, Fisher's exact test p < .01). No clear trend toward increased efficacy for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy or ICI combination chemotherapy in patients with a high programmed cell death-ligand 1 tumor proportion score or a high TMB was apparent. Among the 174 patients found to harbor known or likely pathogenic actionable alterations, 24 individuals (14%) received matched targeted therapy. CONCLUSION: The FoundationOne CDx assay was performed with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor specimens with a success rate of >95%. Such testing may inform the matching of patients with cancer with investigational or approved targeted drugs. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: This prospective cohort study was initiated to investigate the feasibility and utility of clinical application of FoundationOne CDx. A total of 181 samples were processed for genomic testing between September 2018 and June 2019, with data being successfully obtained for 175 of these samples, yielding a success rate of 96.7%, and 24 individuals (14%) received matched targeted therapy.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Cancer treatment can alter patient appearance, leading to psychological, social, and behavioral issues. This study aimed to investigate distress and difficulties related to appearance concerns in Japanese cancer patients and to identify information and support needs among them. METHODS: We conducted a questionnaire survey using the Derriford Appearance Scale 59 (DAS59) among cancer patients with a prior history of chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, or immunotherapy, who were recruited from the Departments of Medical Oncology and Psychosomatic Medicine, Kindai University Hospital. RESULTS: Participants were 114 patients with a mean age of 62.9 years; 70.2% were female, 86.0% had metastatic or locally advanced unresectable cancer, and 78.1% had concerns about some aspect of their appearance. Mean DAS59 full-scale score was 77.7 ± 36.4. Younger and female participants were found to have higher full-scale scores in univariate analysis (P < .05 for both), and younger participants were found to have higher full-scale scores in multivariate analysis (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: DAS59 scores had a wide distribution, suggesting that psychological distress due to appearance changes showed large individual differences. Young and female patients tended to have high DAS59 full-scale scores, but some older and male patients also had high scores. Basic information regarding appearance changes should be provided to all patients before initiating cancer treatment. Both information provision prior to treatment and care at the time of actual appearance changes are important, and should be handled through a multidisciplinary approach.

RESUMEN

Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are standard therapy for EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Preclinically, HER3 ligand heregulin induces resistance to EGFR-TKIs, whereas the pan-human EGFR family inhibitor afatinib remains effective. Here, we examined whether soluble heregulin levels have clinical implications for EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with EGFR-TKIs. Soluble heregulin was immunologically measured in plasma from EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients. Cutoff values were determined by 1-year PFS ROC curve. The relationship between soluble heregulin and PFS following EGFR-TKI therapy was analyzed by Cox proportional hazards model. Seventy-three patients were enrolled: 44 were treated with 1st-generation and 29 with 2nd-generation EGFR-TKIs. Soluble heregulin levels varied (range: 274-7,138 pg/mL, median: 739 pg/mL). Among patients treated with 1st-generation EGFR-TKIs, those with high heregulin (n = 20, >800 pg/mL) had a tendency for shorter PFS than those with low heregulin (n = 24, <800 pg/mL), with median PFS of 322 and 671 days, respectively. Cox proportional hazards model also indicated a trend toward resistance against 1st-generation EGFR-TKIs (HR: 1.825, 95% CI: 0.865-4.318) but not against 2nd-generation EGFR-TKIs. Soluble heregulin potentially correlates with resistance to EGFR-TKIs but not 2nd-generation EGFR-TKIs in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: We previously reported the synergistic effect of S-1 and eribulin in preclinical models. In addition, our phase I study revealed the recommended dose for the phase II study of the combination therapy in advanced breast cancer (ABC) patients pre-treated with anthracycline and taxane. Our current study reports on the efficacy and safety of the combined use of eribulin and S-1 in patients with ABC and poor prognosis. METHODS: Patients with breast cancer who received prior anthracycline- and/or taxane-based therapy were assigned to receive a combination therapy of eribulin (1.4 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8, every 21 days) and S-1 (65 mg/m2, on days 1 to 14, every 21 days) for advanced/metastatic disease. All patients had at least one clinicopathological factor such as being oestrogen receptor negative, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) receptor negative, presence of visceral involvement, presence of three or more metastatic sites, or having a disease-free interval shorter than 2 years. The primary endpoint was the independent-reviewer assessed objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints were clinical benefit rate, disease control rate, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: This study enrolled 33 patients. Confirmed ORR was 33.3% (95% CI: 17.3 to 52.8). Median PFS was 7.5 months (95% CI: 4.0 to 14.3). Median OS time was not reached during the current experimental periods. The most common grade 3/4 adverse event was neutropenia (68.8%). CONCLUSIONS: The combination of eribulin and S-1 is safe and effective for treatment in patients with ABC and poor prognosis. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Current Controlled Trials UMIN000015049 , date of registration: September 5th 2014.

RESUMEN

Medical oncologists are challenged to personalize medicine with scientific evidence, drug approvals, and treatment guidelines based on sequencing of clinical samples using next generation sequencer (NGS). Knowledge-based curation systems have the potential to help address this challenge. We report here the results of examining the level of evidence regarding treatment approval and clinical trials between recommendations made by Watson for Genomics (WfG), QIAGEN Clinical Insight Interpret (QCII), and Oncomine knowledge-based reporter (OKR). The tumor samples obtained from the solid cancer patients between May to June 2018 at Kindai University Hospital. The formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples (n = 31) were sequenced using Oncomine Comprehensive Assay v3. Variants including copy number alteration and gene fusions identified by the Ion reporter software were used commonly on three curation systems. Curation process of data were provided for 25 solid cancers using three curation systems independently. Concordance and distribution of curated evidence levels of variants were analyzed. As a result of sequencing analysis, nonsynonymous mutation (n = 58), gene fusion (n = 2) or copy number variants (n = 12) were detected in 25 cases, and subsequently subjected to knowledge-based curation systems (WfG, OKR, and QCII). The number of curated information in any systems was 51/72 variants. Concordance of evidence levels was 65.3% between WfG and OKR, 56.9% between WfG and QCII, and 66.7% between OKR and QCII. WfG provided great number of clinical trials for the variants. The annotation of resistance information was also observed. Larger differences were observed in clinical trial matching which could be due to differences in the filtering process among three curation systems. This study demonstrates knowledge-based curation systems (WfG, OKR, and QCII) could be helpful tool for solid cancer treatment decision making. Difference in non-concordant evidence levels was observed between three curation systems, especially in the information of clinical trials. This point will be improved by standardized filtering procedure and enriched database of clinical trials in Japan.

RESUMEN

HER2-targeted therapy, especially the anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab, is standard for HER2-positive breast cancer; however, its efficacy is limited in a subpopulation of patients. HER3 ligand (heregulin)-dependent HER2-HER3 interactions play a critical role in the evasion of apoptosis and are therefore a target for oncotherapy to treat HER2-positive breast cancer. The anti-HER2 antibody pertuzumab and anti-HER3 antibody patritumab both target this heregulin-HER3-HER2 complex in different ways. This study examined the anticancer efficacy of dual HER2 and HER3 blockade in trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive breast cancer. HER2-positive SKBR3 or BT474 cells overexpressing heregulin (SKBR3-HRG, BT474-HRG) were used to evaluate the efficacy of trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and patritumab in vitro by performing cell viability, immunoblotting, and clonogenic assays. The effects of these agents were then evaluated in vivo using BT474-HRG and an intrinsic heregulin-expressing and HER2-positive JIMT-1 xenograft models. SKBR3-HRG and BT474-HRG cells lost sensitivity to trastuzumab, which was accompanied by Akt activation. Unexpectedly, trastuzumab in combination with pertuzumab or patritumab also showed limited efficacy toward these cells. In contrast, trastuzumab/pertuzumab/patritumab triple treatment demonstrated potent anticancer efficacy, concomitant with strong repression of Akt. Finally, in heregulin-expressing BT474-HRG and JIMT-1 xenograft models, the addition of pertuzumab and patritumab to trastuzumab also enhanced antitumor efficacy leading to tumor regression. The current study found that triple blockade of HER2 and HER3 using trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and patritumab could overcome resistance to trastuzumab therapy in heregulin-expressing and HER2-positive breast cancer, which could be exploited clinically.

RESUMEN

The efficacy of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) blockade in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) positive for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations has been found to be limited, but the underlying mechanisms for this poor response have remained obscure. Given that the recognition by T cells of tumor antigens presented by major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules is essential for an antitumor immune response, we examined the effects of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) on MHC-I expression in NSCLC cell lines. Appropriate EGFR-TKIs increased MHC-I expression at the mRNA and cell surface protein levels in NSCLC cells positive for EGFR mutations including those with the T790M secondary mutation. Trametinib, an inhibitor of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase MEK, also increased MHC-I expression, whereas the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor buparlisib did not, suggesting that the MEK-ERK pathway mediates the down-regulation of MHC-I expression in response to EGFR activation. Immunohistochemical analysis of EGFR-mutated NSCLC specimens obtained before and after EGFR-TKI treatment also revealed down-regulation of phosphorylated forms of EGFR and ERK in association with up-regulation of MHC-I, an increased number of infiltrating CD8+ T cells, and increased PD-1 ligand 1 expression after such treatment. Our results thus suggest that mutational activation of EGFR inhibits MHC-I expression through the MEK-ERK pathway in NSCLC and thereby contributes to the poor response of such tumors to immunotherapy. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the relation between EGFR-MEK-ERK signaling in and the immune response to EGFR-mutated NSCLC. .

RESUMEN

EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are standard therapy for EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, these tumours eventually acquire chemoresistance. U3-1402 is an anti-HER3 antibody-drug conjugate with a novel topoisomerase I inhibitor, DXd. In the current study, we evaluated the anticancer efficacy of U3-1402 in EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells with acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs. HCC827GR5 and PC9AZDR7 are EGFR-TKI-resistant clones for gefitinib and osimertinib, respectively. U3-1402 alone or in combination with the EGFR-TKI erlotinib demonstrated potent anticancer efficacy in HCC827GR5 cells using an in vitro growth inhibition assay and in vivo xenograft mouse model. U3-1402 induced apoptosis in HCC827GR5 cells accompanying phosphorylation of histone H2A.X, a marker of DNA damage, but did not block HER3/PI3K/AKT signalling. Further, we found using flow cytometry that the cell surface HER3 expression level in HCC827GR5 cells was twice that found in HCC827 cells, indicating internalization of U3-1402 was increased in resistant cells. In addition, administration of U3-1402 notably repressed growth of EGFR-TKI osimertinib-resistant PC9AZDR7 xenograft tumours, and that PC9AZDR7 cells expressed five times greater cell surface HER3 than PC9 cells. Furthermore, using immunofluorescent microscopy, HER3 was observed predominantly in the nucleus of PC9 cells, but was localized in the cytoplasm of PC9AZDR7 cells. This finding indicates that altered trafficking of the HER3-U3-1402 complex may accelerate linker payload cleavage by cytoplasmic lysosomal enzymes, resulting in DNA damage. Our results indicate that administration of U3-1402 alone or in combination with an EGFR-TKI may have potential as a novel therapy for EGFR-TKI-resistant EGFR-mutant NSCLC.
