CPX-351 Selectively Benefits Patients with AML and Myelodysplasia-Related Mutations in the Pivotal Randomized Trial. (PubMed, Blood Adv)
The OS benefit of CPX-351 observed in the trial was driven by AML-MR with no benefit of CPX-351 in TP53-AML, where the primary prognostic factor was allelic state. Clinical Trial Information: NCT01696084.

Gut Microbiome Strategies for Enhancing ICI Delivery Across the BBB in Glioblastoma. (PubMed, Biofactors)
Glioblastoma (GB) is highly malignant with a median survival of 14 months despite conventional treatments like surgery, radiotherapy, and temozolomide...In addition, studies showed that gut-derived metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids, modulate immune responses and support blood-brain barrier integrity by regulating inflammatory signaling and tight junction proteins. Future GB research should prioritize clinical trials, mechanistic studies, and interventional strategies like fecal microbiota transplantation and probiotics to enhance ICI efficacy.

Collision tumor of endometrial hepatoid adenocarcinoma and endometrial stromal sarcoma: a rare case and literature review. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
In this context, the CAP regimen-comprising cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, and cisplatin-has demonstrated superior overall efficacy. Moreover, these tumors seem to be relatively resistant to radiation therapy.

Hypoxia-Induced Osteopontin-Positive Glioma-Associated Macrophages Facilitate Glioma Mesenchymal Transition via NF-κB Pathway Activation. (PubMed, Cancer Commun (Lond))
The inhibition of OPN increased GBM sensitivity to temozolomide (TMZ) in orthotopic models. This study revealed the potential mechanism by which hypoxia-induced OPN+ GAMs promote the mesenchymal transition in GBM cells and demonstrated the therapeutic potential of targeting OPN to enhance TMZ treatment effectiveness.

The lack of efficacy of tirzepatide in mitigating cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity and cognitive impairment in rats. (PubMed, Front Toxicol)
CIS therapy accelerates memory deficits in female rats by increasing oxidative stress. However, TRIZ did not alleviate the memory deficits or antioxidant reductions, although it did reduce ROS levels.

Multiple-pathway cGAS-STING activation with enhanced mild photothermal therapy through glycolysis regulation for boosting gastric cancer immunotherapy. (PubMed, Mater Today Bio)
To address these issues, we developed a mild PTT (mPTT) nanoparticle based on mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA), loaded with oxaliplatin (OXP) and manganese dioxide (MnO2), and coated with tumor cell membranes to enhance the targeting capability...The activation of both adaptive and innate immune responses triggers a potent antitumor immune reaction, which, combined with chemotherapy and enhanced mPTT, significantly suppresses tumor growth, metastasis and recurrence. This strategy not only enhances the targeting of chemotherapeutic drugs but also provides new possibilities for expanding the field of immunotherapy in gastric cancer by regulating tumor metabolism and enhancing mPTT.

Development and evaluation of IL13RA2 targeted drug delivery system based on glioblastoma homing peptide A2b11. (PubMed, Mater Today Bio)
A2b11-liposomes loaded with sodium fluorescein (FLA) and A2b11-liposomes loaded with temozolomide (TLA) were evaluated for their anti-GBM effects...The A2b11 peptide-modified liposomal system developed in this study represents a promising platform for GBM-targeted therapy. Further research and development of this platform could lay the groundwork for its future clinical application.

Iparomlimab and tuvonralimab (QL1706) combined definitive chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (QL1706-IIT-02): a single arm, phase 2 trial. (PubMed, EClinicalMedicine)
Patients received radiotherapy (50.4 Gy/28 in fractions on 5 days per week), concurrent chemotherapy (paclitaxel 135 mg/m2 d1+ cisplatin 25 mg/m2 d1-3, q3w, 2 cycles), and QL1706 (5 mg/kg q3w for up to 1 year [total of 18 cycles]). QL1706 combined with chemoradiotherapy demonstrated potential antitumor activity and manageable toxicity, supporting further investigation.
