Chronic hearing loss turns out being a calcified chondroid mesenchymal neoplasm with FN1::FGFR2 fusion. (PubMed, Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol)
Thorough clinical and radiological follow-up is mandatory as local recurrences are to be expected due to the infiltrative behavior. In case of a loco regional recurrence the fusion with FGFR2 may represent a therapeutic option for a targeted therapy on molecular level.

The patient was treated with pegylated interferon and imatinib, which resulted in stable disease after three months...Analysis of ligand-receptor interactions showed significant communication between neoplastic cells and macrophages mediated by CSF1 and CSF1R. Our findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive molecular analysis in diagnosing and treating rare malignancies like TGCT.

Chondroid Synoviocytic Neoplasm: A Clinicopathologic, Immunohistochemical and Molecular Genetic Study of a Distinctive Tumor of Synoviocytes. (PubMed, Mod Pathol)
We conclude that these unusual tumors represent a distinct category of synoviocytic neoplasia, which we term "chondroid synoviocytic neoplasm", rather than simply ordinary TGCT with cartilage. Despite potentially worrisome morphologic features, they appear to behave in at most a locally aggressive fashion.

ISLET-1 expression in soft tissue neoplasms reveals high sensitivity but moderate specificity for desmoplastic small round cell tumors and potential utility as a diagnostic biomarker. (PubMed, Pathol Res Pract)
In summary, among the soft tissue tumors tested, ISL1 is a highly sensitive but moderately specific marker for DSRCT and may be useful to distinguish from round cell mimics including EWS and CIC::DUX4 sarcomas. The oncogenic role of ISL1 in these tumors warrants further investigation.

Due to histopathologic resemblance with other giant cell-rich lesions (giant cell granuloma of the jaws, brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism, and non-ossifying fibroma) for which signature mutations are known, mutational analysis of KRAS, FGFR1, and TRPV4 genes was conducted. The results revealed wild-type sequences for all the mutations tested, thereby supporting the diagnosis of tenosynovial giant cell tumor.

Exploring the Effect of Compound Glycyrrhizin and Silybinin on the Metabolism of Pexidartinib in Rats Based on CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. (PubMed, Adv Pharmacol Pharm Sci)
The results of immunoblotting assays suggested that silybinin as well as compound glycyrrhizin inhibited the protein expression of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 in rats. Therefore, the combination of pexidartinib with silybinin and compound glycyrrhizin should be monitored to avoid clinical adverse effects.

Diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumor between the suboccipital bone and posterior C1 arch: illustrative case. (PubMed, J Neurosurg Case Lessons)
TGCT can arise at the craniocervical junction and is easily misdiagnosed because of its rare occurrence. IHC examination of a tumor specimen should be done to confirm the diagnosis. GTR is the objective when treating these tumors, especially when they are the diffuse type, as they have a high recurrence rate. Radiation and small-molecule therapies are viable postoperative therapies if GTR cannot be achieved or in cases of recurrence.

Identifying the Reactive Metabolites of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Pexidartinib In Vitro Using LC-MS-Based Metabolomic Approaches. (PubMed, Chem Res Toxicol)
In the current study, the metabolic activation of PEX was investigated in human/mouse liver microsomes (HLM/MLM) and primary human hepatocytes (PHH) using glutathione (GSH) and methoxyamine (NHOMe) as trapping reagents. CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 were identified as the primary enzymes responsible for the formation of these adducts using recombinant human P450s and CYP3A chemical inhibitor ketoconazole. Overall, our studies suggested that PEX metabolism can produce reactive metabolites mediated by CYP3A, and the association of the reactive metabolites with PEX hepatotoxicity needs to be further studied.

UPDATED EFFICACY AND SAFETY PROFILE OF PIMICOTINIB (ABSK021) IN TENOSYNOVIAL GIANT CELL TUMOR (TGCT): 1-YEAR FOLLOW-UP FROM PHASE 1B (CTOS 2023)
With the extension of treatment duration, there is an observed augmentation in the number of pts experiencing sustained tumor shrinkage and favorable safety of Pimicotinib with no apparent hepatotoxicity. Current data confers durable therapeutic benefits in TGCT pts, suggesting that prolonged exposure may represent an optimal treatment approach. In addition, a separate cohort with prior anti-CSF-1/CSF-1R therapies is underway to assess the safety and antitumor activity.

A PHASE 3 STUDY OF THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF PEXIDARTINIB IN ASIAN PATIENTS WITH TENOSYNOVIAL GIANT CELL TUMOR (CTOS 2023)
In Asian patients with symptomatic TGCT not amenable to improvement with surgery, pexidartinib demonstrated clinical benefit in tumor response and improvement in joint function. The overall safety profile of pexidartinib was comparable with previous data. Hepatotoxicity was manageable with frequent liver test monitoring and dose modifications as defined in the protocol, and no new safety signals were observed in this Asian population.

SAFETY, EFFICACY, AND PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOMES WITH VIMSELTINIB IN PATIENTS WITH TENOSYNOVIAL GIANT CELL TUMOR WHO RECEIVED PRIOR ANTI–COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR 1 THERAPY: ONGOING PHASE 2 UPDATE (CTOS 2023)
Pts with TGCT not amenable to surgery who received prior anti-CSF1/CSF1R therapy (including pexidartinib, cabiralizumab, or vimseltinib) were enrolled and treated with vimseltinib 30 mg twice weekly (recommended phase 2 dose). Longer follow-up demonstrated that vimseltinib continued to be well tolerated with a manageable safety profile in pts with TGCT not amenable to surgery who received prior anti-CSF1/CSF1R therapy. Antitumor activity continued to improve in this pretreated population, with an increased ORR. At week 25, all responders experienced ≥30% reductions in worst and average pain.
