Potential Drug Synergy Through the ERBB2 Pathway in HER2+ Breast Tumors. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
We visualized these interactions using Cytoscape to generate individual and combined drug-gene networks, focusing on frequently used drugs such as Erlotinib, Gefitinib, Lapatinib, and Cetuximab...Combined drug networks, such as those for Cetuximab with Lapatinib, Cetuximab with Erlotinib, and Erlotinib with Lapatinib, revealed potential synergies that could enhance therapeutic efficacy by simultaneously influencing multiple genes and pathways. Our findings suggest that a network-based approach to analyzing drug combinations provides valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of HER2+ breast cancer and offers promising strategies for overcoming drug resistance and improving treatment outcomes.

Pembrolizumab Versus chemotherapy in microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair-deficient metastatic colorectal cancer: 5-year follow-up from the randomized phase 3 KEYNOTE-177 study. (PubMed, Ann Oncol)
With >5 years of follow-up, responses to pembrolizumab remained durable. Median OS was over twice as long in patients treated with pembrolizumab versus chemotherapy in first line despite an effective crossover rate of 62%. Pembrolizumab remains a standard of care for MSI-H/dMMR mCRC.

Evaluation of circulating tumor DNA as a prognostic and predictive biomarker in BRAF V600E mutated colorectal cancer-results from the FIRE-4.5 study. (PubMed, Mol Oncol)
The randomized FIRE-4.5 (AIO KRK0116) trial compared first-line therapy with FOLFOXIRI (folinic acid, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan) plus either cetuximab or bevacizumab in B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. Those patients also achieved a significantly greater disease control rate (89% vs 20%; P = 0.008). In conclusion, LB evaluating ctDNA is informative and may help to guide treatment in patients with BRAF V600E-mutated mCRC.

Targeting the EGFR and Spindle Assembly Checkpoint Pathways in Oral Cancer: A Plausible Alliance to Enhance Cell Death. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
We analyzed the effects of co-treating OSCC cells with small molecules targeting MPS-1 (BAY1217389), Aurora-B (Barasertib), or KSP (Ispinesib), alongside Cetuximab. Additionally, we examined EGFR, MPS-1, Aurora-B, and KSP expression in OSCC patient samples, revealing their clinicopathologic significance. This combinatorial approach suggests a promising strategy to improve treatment outcomes in OSCC.

Modified FOLFOXIRI plus cetuximab versus bevacizumab in RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer: a randomized phase II DEEPER trial. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
The clinical significance of FOLFOXIRI (5-FU, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan) plus anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody using cetuximab for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains controversial...m-FOLFOXIRI plus cetuximab has clinical benefit for tumor shrinkage in RAS wt mCRC. The survival benefit for RAS/BRAF wt and left-sided mCRC needs further investigation.

Detecting BRAF mutations in colorectal cancer in clinical practice: an Italian experts' position paper. (PubMed, Crit Rev Oncol Hematol)
Recently, the chemotherapy-free combination of encorafenib and cetuximab has been approved as the standard of care for previously treated BRAF p.V600E mCRC patients, and genomic testing for BRAF mutations at the time of mCRC diagnosis is currently recommended. The statements overview pivotal aspects implied in the detection, treatment and management of BRAF-mutated patients and have been drafted to represent a valuable tool for healthcare professionals committed to mCRC patient management. In addition, they represent a platform for implementing diagnostic-therapeutic workflows that can adapt to the variability of local resources while respecting the high-quality standards required by modern precision oncology.

Co-targeting TMEM16A with a novel monoclonal antibody and EGFR with Cetuximab inhibits the growth and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. (PubMed, J Transl Med)
In terms of mechanism, we found that mT16A#5 inhibited the phosphorylation of PI3K, AKT and JNK. These results highlight the anti-growth and anti-metastasis capacity of the combination of mT16A#5 and Cetuximab in the treatment of ESCC by targeting TMEM16A and EGFR, and provide a reference for combinational antibody treatment in ESCC.

Effect of FOLFOX regimen combined with cetuximab treatment on the efficacy and tumor markers of advanced colon cancer patients. (PubMed, Am J Transl Res)
Despite inducing rash, which is controllable, the combined therapy of FOLFOX and cetuximab significantly improves short-term efficacy, reduces the levels of CEA, CA19-9, VEGF-A and VEGFR2, and extends the PFS and OS of patients, which can be served as an effective treatment strategy for advanced colon cancer.

Biomarker Analysis of phase II CAVE2 GOIM study of the combination of avelumab plus cetuximab as rechallenge strategy in pre-treated RAS/BRAF wild type metastatic colorectal cancer patients (AIOM 2024)
These preliminary findings suggest that evaluation of in vitro cytotoxicity together with CD107a expression in mCRC patients derived PBMC could be a useful tool to identify early responders after only 8 weeks of treatment with cetuximab plus avelumab. In addition, we aim to further investigate the potential role of CCL5 secreted by peripheral immune cells and its cut-off as a predictive biomarker of mCRC progression in a larger cohort of patients.

RAS/BRAF testing of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in tissue RAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC) patients (pts) enrolled in the LIquid BIopsy monoclonal Antibodies (LIBImAb) Study (AIOM 2024)
The LIBImAb Study is a phase III, randomized, openlabel, comparative, multi-center trial to assess the superiority in terms of efficacy of bevacizumab versus cetuximab in combination with FOLFIRI in mCRC pts, RAS/BRAFwt on tumor tissue and RAS/BRAF mutant (RAS/BRAFmut) at liquid biopsy... These data indicate the feasibility of cfDNA-based prospective enrolment in an interventional trial using a test with a rapid TAT for screening of RAS/ BRAF status in plasma. Our preliminary findings also suggest that ctDNA testing might better recapitulate the tumor heterogeneity of mCRC pts thus complementing tissue genomic profiling.

Liquid biopsy-based comprehensive genomic profiling captures tumor heterogeneity and identifies cancer vulnerabilities in patients with RAS/BRAFV600E wild type metastatic colorectal cancer in the CAPRI 2-GOIM trial (AIOM 2024)
Materials and The phase II CAPRI 2-GOIM trial investigates the efficacy and safety of biomarkerdriven, cetuximab-based, sequence of three treatment lines in mCRC... Baseline plasma-based comprehensive genomic profiling is feasible with high concordance with tissue-based analysis. Liquid biopsy allows identification of misdiagnosed RAS/BRAF alterations and the ultra-selection of pts, which could benefit from anti-EGFR therapies. Finally, potentially actionable gene alterations were found in half of the pts.

TNO155 is a selective SHP2 inhibitor to target PTPN11-dependent oral squamous cell carcinoma. (PubMed, Heliyon)
However, whilst targeting EGFR with cetuximab has been approved for the treatment of OSCC, other single-agent inhibitors of the RTKs have shown modest effects in improving survival. In summary, PTPN11 is a promising therapeutic target in OSCC that can be selectively targeted by SHP2 inhibitor such as TNO155. Our findings on the use of mTOR inhibitor, everolimus to overcome resistance to TNO155 are essential to inform on next phases of clinical trials which is warranted for the treatment of OSCC.

Anticancer activity of EMD37 against human head and neck cancer: Impact on apoptotic and inflammatory machineries. (PubMed, Toxicol In Vitro)
Although cetuximab is the sole anti-EGFR approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating HNC patients.its response rates are modest...Bioinformatic analysis revealed that BCL2low, IL6low and MMP9low HNC biospecimens are enriched with epithelial cell differentiation gene set, and CASP8high cohort is enriched with extrinsic apoptosis. Altogether, this study emphasizes the therapeutic potential of targeting the apoptotic and inflammatory machineries in HNC using EMD37.
