STREAMLINE - Retrospective Cohort Study of FMS-like Tyrosine Kinase 3-Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Real-World Treatment Patterns and Clinical Outcomes of Patients in First Relapse or Refractory Diagnosis. (PubMed, Acta Haematol)
Results Among the 336 treated patients, 50.6% received FLT3-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (FLT3-TKIs) as first treatment after R/R event, of which 51.8% received gilteritinib...Conclusion This study reveals a trend toward increasing FLT3-TKI use and highlights the need for repeated FLT3 testing among R/R AML patients. Real-world evidence is vital in understanding R/R AML patient care amidst emerging therapies.

Comparative efficacy of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors in high-risk relapsed/refractory CLL: a network meta-analysis. (PubMed, Blood Adv)
Bayesian NMAs found zanubrutinib to be the most efficacious treatment for high-risk patients, with significantly reduced risk of progression or death compared with ibrutinib (hazard ratio [95% credible interval (CrI)]: 0.49 [0.31, 0.78]), acalabrutinib (0.55 [0.32, 0.94]), and bendamustine + rituximab or idelalisib + rituximab (BR/IR) (0.12 [0.05, 0.26]). Rates of response also demonstrated trends favoring zanubrutinib compared to acalabrutinib, with significant results compared to ibrutinib. The NMA suggests that the most efficacious BTKi for patients with high-risk R/R CLL is zanubrutinib.

ADCC was maintained upon exposure to specific ABL or JAK-inhibitors, in contrast to the multi-target TKI dasatinib impeding SYK-dependent ADCC. In conclusion, optimized ML-NK cell and CD19 antibody-based immunotherapy combined with carefully selected TKI demonstrates significant in vitro treatment efficacy in kinase-driven leukemia.

Discovery of cmpd D6 (FH-001) as a effiency enhancement and myelosuppression degradation small-molecule Fms-like Tyrosine Kinase 3 Inhibitor for the treatment of FLT3-ITD Positive Acute Myeloid Leukemia. (PubMed, Eur J Pharmacol)
Pharmacodynamic experiments of the three models showed that cmpd D6 (12.5mg/kg) could significantly inhibit tumor growth compared with cmpd 18, and had no obvious toxicity. Based on the above results, cmpd D6 is a potential candidate drug for the future treatment of FLT3-ITD positive AML.

A clinical review on third and fourth generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Bioorg Med Chem)
This review delves into the current clinical status, efficacy, safety profiles, and regulatory approvals of third-generation EGFR TKIs, including Osimertinib, Lazertinib, Furmonertinib, Aumolertinib, Rezivertinib, Befotertinib, Sunvozertinib...Notable fourth-generation candidates such as TQB3804, BPI-361175, BDTX-1535, WJ13404, QLH11811, H002, HS-10375, BBT-207, JIN-A02, and HS-10504 are highlighted for their potential to overcome the C797S mutation...By evaluating the therapeutic potential and limitations of these EGFR TKIs, this review aims to guide future research in the management of EGFR-mutant NSCLC. This acts as guiding beacon for the strategic design and development of third and fourth generation EGFR-TK inhibitors to overcome the drug resistance hurdles in the development of EGFR-TK inhibitors.

Anti-EGFR therapy can overcome acquired resistance to the third-generation ALK-tyrosine kinase inhibitor lorlatinib mediated by activation of EGFR. (PubMed, Acta Pharmacol Sin)
Combination treatment with ALK-TKI and anti-EGFR agents suppressed acquired resistance to ALK-TKIs caused by activation of EGFR in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that the combination of lorlatinib and an anti-EGFR agent could be effective in patients with lorlatinib-resistant NSCLC. This research provides insights into the mechanism of resistance to lorlatinib and suggests that it can be overcome by anti-EGFR treatment, offering a promising approach for treating resistance to lorlatinib mediated by EGFR activation in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC.

EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor ZZC4 overcomes acquired resistance to gefitinib. (PubMed, Toxicol Appl Pharmacol)
In this study, we developed NSCLC cells resistant to EGFR-TKI gefitinib and osimertinib and assessed the effect and mechanism of action of ZZC4 on those cells. Further, the proteomic analysis revealed that ZZC4 inhibited HCC827-GR cell growth by upregulating CDKN1B and downregulating CCNA2 and CHEK1. In conclusion, ZZC4 overcomes resistance to gefitinib by altering the cell cycle pathway.

Cannabinoids as Promising Inhibitors of HER2-Tyrosine Kinase: A Novel Strategy for Targeting HER2-Positive Ovarian Cancer. (PubMed, ACS Omega)
SPR analysis revealed that cannabinoids bind strongly to HER2-tyrosine kinase (HER2-TK), with CBD showing the highest affinity (K D = 6.16 μM), significantly better than afatinib (K D = 26.30 μM), and CBG demonstrating moderate affinity (K D = 17.07 μM)...In cell viability assays, CBD and CBG effectively inhibited the growth of HER2-positive SKOV3 cells (IC50 = 13.8 μM and 16.6 μM, respectively), comparable to traditional tyrosine kinase inhibitors. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids, particularly CBD and CBG, as alternative or adjunct therapies for HER2-positive cancers, with the promise of mitigating resistance and adverse effects associated with existing treatments.

Extrachromosomal DNA dynamics contribute to intratumoural receptor tyrosine kinase genetic heterogeneity and drug resistance in gastric cancer. (PubMed, Mol Cancer Res)
Conversely, when resistant clone cells were cultured under conditions that excluded AZD4547, the ecDNA status became similar to that of the original clone cells, and the inhibitory effect on cell growth was restored. Implications: Our results show that dynamic quantitative and qualitative changes in ecDNA can drive the intratumoural genetic heterogeneity of RTKs and resistance to RTK inhibitors.

Bruton Tyrosine Kinase Degraders: Current Concepts. (PubMed, Am J Clin Oncol)
While BTK inhibitors (BTKi), such as ibrutinib, have been effective, resistance-both intrinsic and acquired-poses a significant challenge, often associated with BTK mutations like C481S...Agents such as NRX-0492, BGB-16673, NX-5948, NX-2127, HZ-Q1060, ABBV-101, and AC676 have shown significant BTK degradation in preclinical and early clinical trials...These BTK degraders have demonstrated favorable safety profiles, with manageable adverse events, and offer a novel therapeutic avenue for patients with BTKi-resistant malignancies. As clinical trials progress, these degraders hold the potential to significantly enhance treatment outcomes, offering a new frontier in personalized cancer therapy.

A deep-learning model for predicting tyrosine kinase inhibitor response from histology in gastrointestinal stromal tumor. (PubMed, J Pathol)
To overcome the challenges associated with genetic screening by sequencing, in the current study we developed an artificial intelligence-based deep-learning (DL) model that uses convolutional neural networks (CNN) to analyze digitized hematoxylin and eosin staining in tumor histological sections to predict potential response to imatinib or avapritinib treatment in GIST patients. These results demonstrate the potential of a DL model to improve predictions of treatment response to TKI therapy from histology in GIST patients.

Repeated sequential administration of pegylated emulsion of SU5416 and liposomal paclitaxel enhances anti-tumor effect in 4T1 breast cancer-bearing mice. (PubMed, Eur J Pharm Biopharm)
Although some discrepancies between the structural and functional improvement in tumor vasculatures were observed after PE-SU5416 × 3 and Seq × 3, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and collagen levels were significantly reduced after PE-SU5416 × 2, PE-SU5416 × 3, Seq × 2, and Seq × 3, suggesting that a possible decrease in interstitial fluid pressure due to the reduction in CAFs and collagen would have compensated for vascular function. Furthermore, PE-SU5416 × 2, PE-SU5416 × 3, Seq × 2, and Seq × 3 significantly decreased tumor growth factor-β (TGF-β), an activator of CAFs, in tumor tissues, suggesting that the reduction in TGF-β levels by PE-SU5416 suppresses CAF activation.
