Based on its 100% sensitivity and specificity, GPNMB appears to be a highly valuable immunohistochemical marker for the diagnosis of pulmonary LAM. Besides its diagnostic value, the membrane positivity of GPNMB on LAM cells may predict a response to glembatumumab vedotin, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting GPNMB.

INCAGN01876 was generally well tolerated; fatigue was the most frequent TRAE. INCAGN01876 elicited transient and variable Treg depletion and limited antitumor activity. Future studies will explore combinatorial approaches.

Overall, 73.1% (49/67) of cervical cancer samples are CD138-positive with 38.8% (26/67) of cervical cancer samples showing at least moderate or high expression. (4) TROP2, CEACAM5 or CD138 do seem suitable for further clinical research and the data presented here might be used to guide further clinical trials with ADCs in advanced and recurrent cervical cancer patients.

Further validation is warranted in terms of protein expression. Our results underscore the potential value of gene expression profiling to identify new targets and improve patient selection in the context of NSCLC-BM ADC therapy.

Inhibition of mTORC1 with Sirolimus slows but does not stop LAM progression; therefore, there is a need for new LAM treatment options and biomarkers...Abstracts presented at a news conference are embargoed until the date and time of the news conference. The Endocrine Society reserves the right to lift the embargo on specific abstracts that are selected for promotion prior to or during ENDO.*

Domain-based bispecific T-cell engagers (DbTE) based on these two antibodies combined with the anti-CD3ε OKT3 antibody exhibited potent killing against GPNMB and VCAM-1-positive cancer cells, respectively. Hence, these two domain antibodies are promising therapeutic candidates for cancers expressing GPNMB or VCAM-1.

The results of the high-throughput drug screen and validation studies in TFE3-RCC tumor-derived cell lines have provided in vitro and in vivo preclinical data supporting the efficacy of the PI3K/mTOR inhibitor NVP-BGT226, the transcription inhibitor Mithramycin A, and GPNMB-targeted antibody-drug conjugate CDX-011 as potential therapeutic options for treating advanced MiT-RCC. The findings presented here should provide the basis for designing future clinical trials for patients with MiT-driven RCC.

(4) Dasatinib upregulated gpNMB expression in gpNMB-positive MDA-MB-468 xenografted tumors at 14 days post treatment initiation, which can be quantified by PET imaging with [Zr]Zr-DFO-CR011. Furthermore, combination therapy with dasatinib and CDX-011 appears to be a promising therapeutic strategy for TNBC and warrants further investigation.

The main marine-derived drugs that have been studied for the treatment of BC are tubulin-binding agents (eribulin and plocabulin), DNA-targeting agents (cytarabine and minor groove binders-trabectedin and lurbinectedin) and Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs)...Among these, clinical data are available on ladiratuzumab vedotin and glembatumumab vedotin in TNBC, and on disitamab vedotin and ALT-P7 in HER2-positive patients. A deeper knowledge of the mechanism of action and of the potential predictive factors for response to marine-derived drugs is important for their rational and effective use, alone or in combination. In this narrative review, we discuss the role of marine-derived drugs for the treatment of BC, although most of them are not approved, and the opportunities that could arise from the potential treasure trove of the sea for novel BC therapeutics.

Currently, there are 14 nanomedicines that have reached the clinic for the treatment of breast cancer, 4 of which are already approved (Kadcyla, Enhertu, Trodelvy, and Abraxane)...In TNBC these conjugates (Trodelvy, Glembatumumab-Vedotin, Ladiratuzumab-vedotin, Cofetuzumab-pelidotin, and PF-06647263) are directed against various targets, in particular Trop-2 glycoprotein, NMB glycoprotein, Zinc transporter LIV-1, and Ephrin receptor-4, to achieve this selective accumulation, and include campthotecins, calicheamins, or auristatins as drugs. Apart from the antibody-drug conjugates, there are other active targeted nanosystems that have reached the clinic for the treatment of these tumors such as Abraxane and Nab-rapamicyn (albumin nanoparticles entrapping placlitaxel and rapamycin respectively) and various liposomes (MM-302, C225-ILS-Dox, and MM-310) loaded with doxorubicin or docetaxel and coated with ligands targeted to Ephrin A2, EPGF, or HER-2 receptors. In this work, all these active targeted nanomedicines are discussed, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages over conventional chemotherapy as well as the challenges involved in their lab to clinical translation. In addition, examples of formulations developed and evaluated at the preclinical level are also discussed.
