Pt-R OC cells harbor heightened dependence on unsaturated FAs compared to Pt-S cells and upregulate key transporters to increase FAs uptake. OA supports the proliferation of Pt-R cells in vitro and in vivo and a combination of carboplatin and FABP4 inhibitor reduces OC growth in vivo. These findings suggest that lipid composition may influence therapeutic response and raise important considerations for dietary guidance in patients with cancer.

Combining eprenetapopt with carboplatin shows promising preclinical efficacy by enhancing cytotoxicity in olaparib-resistant models and demonstrating synergistic interaction; these data support the combination as a potential strategy to mitigate PARPi resistance and carboplatin cross-resistance in TP53 mutant HGSOC and TNBC cell lines. Although further studies are needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the synergistic effect, here we point out the combination of eprenetapopt and carboplatin as a potential therapeutic strategy to address olaparib resistance in HGSOC and TNBC patients.

The patient was thereafter treated with a combination of pembrolizumab, nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin, resulting in a sustained near-complete response lasting over 30 months, accompanied by a manageable safety profile. The favorable response in this case suggests that further evaluation of this triplet regimen could be considered for anaplastic thyroid cancer, though this remains a speculative premise requiring validation. Further studies are also needed to clarify the underlying mechanisms of this combination and to identify predictive biomarkers for patient selection.

TTF-1 expression is an independent prognostic factor in patients with NS-NSCLC complicated by IIPs who received carboplatin plus (nab-) paclitaxel. TTF-1 expression may represent a valuable biomarker for characterizing the disease subtypes and guiding therapeutic strategies in lung cancer with coexisting IIPs.

EPA exhibits potent anti-tumor activity against USC cells and enhances the efficacy of carboplatin. These data indicate that EPA has potential as a low-toxicity, multi-target adjuvant treatment for USC, necessitating additional pre-clinical and clinical investigation.
