Updated overall survival and safety with ripretinib vs sunitinib in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor previously treated with imatinib and harboring KIT exon 11 + 17/18 mutations: ctDNA analysis from INTRIGUE (AIOM 2024)
In this updated exploratory analysis from INTRIGUE, OS was longer for ripretinib vs sunitinib for pts with KIT exon 11 + 17/18 mutations identified by baseline ctDNA. The safety profile was consistent and more favorable for ripretinib vs sunitinib in these pts. Previously presented at the 2024 ESMO Sarcoma and Rare Cancers Congress.

Gene expression of prostate-specific membrane antigen (FOLH1) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma predicts angiogenesis and response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. (PubMed, Urol Oncol)
PSMA-encoding FOLH1 gene expression correlates with neoangiogenesis and predicts PFS in m-ccRCC patients treated with sunitinib TKI, suggesting that PSMA PET could be explored as a noninvasive biomarker for guiding CST choice (IO/IO or IO/VEGFi) as well as prediction of treatment response to VEGFi in m-ccRCC patients.

Systemic therapy for non-clear cell renal cell carcinomas: A systematic review. (PubMed, J Oncol Pharm Pract)
While combination therapies, including immunotherapies, have shown positive outcomes, immune checkpoint inhibitors like nivolumab and pembrolizumab have demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity. Additionally, targeting the c-MET pathway has proven effective in certain papillary RCC. Further research is warranted to establish optimal treatment strategies and improve outcomes for patients with non-clear cell RCC. Systemic therapy for non-clear cell RCC is complex and evolving. Further research is needed to delineate optimal treatment strategies for different histological subtypes and improve patient outcomes.

Systematic multiomics analysis and in vitro experiments suggest that ITGA5 could serve as a promising therapeutic target for ccRCC. (PubMed, Cancer Cell Int)
Our findings clarified the adverse outcome induced by high expression of ITGA5 in ccRCC patients. In vitro experiments and bioinformatical analysis identified ITGA5 function as predominantly cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and macrophage recruitment. Further, we predicted immune infiltration and medication sensitivity regulation by ITGA5 and proposed a joint use of ITGA5 inhibitors and anti-angiogenetic drugs as a potential potent therapeutic strategy.

Exploration on the construction of a bladder cancer prognostic model based on disulfidptosis-related lncRNAs and its clinical significance. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Lastly, the drug sensitivity analysis revealed that the BLCA cells in the high-risk group showed an increased sensitivity to cisplatin, sunitinib, cetuximab, axitinib, docetaxel, saracatinib, vinblastine and pazopanib compared with those in the low-risk group. According to the Quantitative real time PCR results, we found that five lncRNAs of the risk model were more highly expressed in BCa cell lines than human immortalized uroepithelial cell line. The disulfidptosis-related lncRNA risk model has a valuable effect in assessing the prognosis of BLCA patients.

Rapid Evolution of Metastases in Patients with Treated G3 Neuroendocrine Tumors Associated with NEC-Like Transformation and TP53 Mutation. (PubMed, Endocr Pathol)
The last treatments received prior to the NEC-like transformation included PRRT (n = 3), somatostatin analog, everolimus, sunitinib (n = 1 each), and alkylating agents (n = 2). These findings are most likely attributable to the novel TP53 mutation, which was detected in all nine cases at the last evaluation. However, none of the cases exhibited a complete transformation to a typical NEC, as the tumors retained partial histological and genetic features of NETs.

In IMmotion151, MTC2-metastasis was significantly associated with better PFS on sunitinib (hazard ratio [HR] 3.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.32-8.69; p = 0.01) in comparison to MTC2-primary (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.65-1.38; p = 0.80; pinteraction = 0.02). Evaluation of known RNA signatures in the CheckMate trials revealed that JAVELIN-metastasis was associated with better PFS on ICI (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.62-0.97; p = 0.03) in comparison to JAVELIN-primary (HR 1.04, 95% CI 0.91-1.19; p = 0.56; pinteraction = 0.02). These results indicate that tissue site may be a relevant confounder in biomarker analyses.

Hypoxia-induced TIMAP Upregulation in Endothelial Cells and TIMAP-dependent Tumour Angiogenesis. (PubMed, Am J Physiol Cell Physiol)
Conversely, hypoxia and the prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor Roxadustat raised TIMAP mRNA and protein levels by inhibiting the BMP9 pathway...Cultured breast cancer E0771 cells released mediators that raised TIMAP expression in endothelial cells, effects that were inhibited by the VEGF inhibitor Sunitinib in conjunction with the IGF-1 inhibitor Picropodophyllin. In the mouse E0771 breast cancer model in vivo, tumor growth and tumor angiogenesis were markedly attenuated in TIMAP deficient, compared to wild-type littermates. These findings indicate that TIMAP plays a critical pro-angiogenic function during tumor angiogenesis in vivo, likely through hypoxia-driven inhibition of the BMP9 pathway and through elaboration of angiogenic growth factors by tumor cells.

Cancer cell stemness was ascertained to be highly relevant to NANOG overexpression that can be abrogated by synergized gemcitabine-drug combinations. Therefore, NANOG works as a therapeutic biomarker for predicating efficient combinatorial treatment of gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer.

Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2) Activates Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Signaling in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST): An Autocrine Mechanism Contributing to Imatinib Mesylate (IM) Resistance. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
This also resulted in significant synergy between BGJ 398 and VEGFR inhibitors (i.e., sunitinib and regorafenib) by enhancing their pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative activities. Mechanistically, the FGF2-induced activation of the FGFR pathway turns on VEGFR signaling via the overproduction of VEGF-A, induces the interaction between FGFR1/2 and VEGFR1, and thereby renders cancer cells highly sensitive to the dual inhibition of the aforementioned RTKs. Thus, our data uncovers the novel mechanism of the cross-talk between the aforementioned RTKs in IM-resistant GISTs lacking secondary KIT mutations and suggests that the dual blockade of FGFR and VEGFR signaling might be an effective treatment strategy for patients with GIST-acquired IM resistance via KIT-independent mechanisms.

The INSIGHT study: a randomized, Phase III study of ripretinib versus sunitinib for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor with KIT exon 11 + 17/18 mutations. (PubMed, Future Oncol)
Exploratory baseline circulating tumor DNA analysis from the second-line INTRIGUE trial determined that patients with advanced GIST previously treated with imatinib harboring primary KIT exon 11 mutations and secondary resistance mutations restricted to KIT exons 17/18 had greater clinical benefit with ripretinib versus sunitinib. We describe the rationale and design of INSIGHT (NCT05734105), an ongoing Phase III open-label study of ripretinib versus sunitinib in patients with advanced GIST previously treated with imatinib exclusively harboring KIT exon 11 + 17/18 mutations detected by circulating tumor DNA.Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05734105 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Multifaceted role of FAM210B in hepatocellular carcinoma: Implications for tumour progression, microenvironment modulation and therapeutic selection. (PubMed, J Cell Mol Med)
High expression levels of FAM202B correlated with increased resistance to sunitinib and enhanced responsiveness to immunotherapy, as evidenced by associations with tumour mutation burden, PDCD1, CTLA4 and TIDE scores. FAM210B exerts a complex influence on HCC, affecting tumour cell behaviour, metabolic pathways, the immune microenvironment and responses to therapy.
