    Abstract The therapeutic landscape of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer includes endocrine treatments with aromatase inhibitors (AIs), selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), and selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs). Fulvestrant is the first approved SERD with proven efficacy and good tolerability in clinical practice. However, drug resistance, low receptor affinity, and parental administration stimulated the search for new oral SERDs opening a new therapeutic era in ER + breast cancer. Elacestrant is an orally bioavailable SERD that has been recently approved by the FDA for postmenopausal women with ER+, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-), estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1)-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer with disease progression following at least one line of endocrine therapy. Other molecules of the same class currently tested in clinical trials are amcenestrant, giredestrant, camizestrant, and imlunestrant. The current review article offers a detailed pharmacological perspective of this emerging drug class, which may help with their possible future clinical applications.

    Abstract Abemaciclib (ABE) in combination with endocrine therapy represents the mainstay treatment for either endocrine-resistant metastatic or high-risk early-stage HR+/HER2- breast cancer patients. Hence, an adequate knowledge of this agent pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and of its drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is crucial for an optimal patients management. Additionally, ABE interference with food and complementary/alternative medicines should be taken into account in the clinical practice. Several online tools allow to freely check DDIs and can be easily consulted before prescribing ABE. According to one of this instruments, ABE display the lowest number of interactions among the available cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors. Still, clinicians should be aware that online tools cannot replace the technical datasheet of the drug as well as a comprehensive clinical assessment for each patient. Here we critically review the main pharmacological features of ABE, then focusing on its potential interactions with drugs, food, and alternative medicine, in order to provide a guide for its optimal use in the treatment of HR+/HER2- breast cancer patients.

    Abstract This study investigated the health economic evaluations of predictive biomarker testing in solid tumours treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Searching PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science from June 2010 to February 2022, 58 relevant articles were reviewed out of the 730 screened. The focus was predominantly on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (65%) and other solid tumours (40%). Among the NSCLC studies, 21 out of 35 demonstrated cost-effectiveness, notably for pembrolizumab as first-line treatment when preceded by PD-L1 assessment, cost-effective at a threshold of $100,000/QALY compared to the standard of care. However, for bladder, cervical, and triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs), no economic evaluations met the affordability threshold of $100,000/QALY. Overall, the review highlights a certain degree of uncertainty about the cost-effectiveness of ICI. In particular, we found PD-L1 expression associated with ICI treatment to be a cost-effective strategy, particularly in NSCLC, urothelial, and renal cell carcinoma. The findings suggest the potential value of predictive biomarker testing, specifically with pembrolizumab in NSCLC, while indicating challenges in achieving cost-effectiveness for certain other solid tumours.

    Title translation Clinical applications of bevacizumab in the treatment of colorectal and ovarian cancer.
    Abstract The development of biological drugs, which began in the 1980s, has revolutionized the treatment of numerous oncological diseases and severely disabling autoimmune diseases, with widely demonstrated evidence of benefit. Today, biological drugs represent an important and continuously developing category and are used both as a support therapy in onco-hematology and as molecules with their own therapeutic activity, such as monoclonal antibodies. Among these, bevacizumab represents a drug of relevant clinical value, used as antiangiogenic therapy in numerous cancers, in particular colorectal and ovarian cancers. The expiry of the patent period of monoclonal antibodies, including bevacizumab, has opened up to the development of biosimilar drugs, represented by structurally similar molecules with pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and clinical characteristics equivalent to a biological drug already present in clinical use (originator biologic). The development process of these drugs is contained in the guidelines of the major regulatory bodies (FDA/EMA) and is faster than that provided for the originator biologic. Since biosimilars have a lower cost than reference drugs, their use represents a possibility of containing health care costs and of satifying the growing demand in terms of efficacy and personalization of pharmacological therapies. Considering the particular severity of the diseases treated, including colorectal and ovarian cancers, biosimilar drugs must be used with full awareness, in terms of efficacy and safety, since their approval is based on a rigorous analytical process, as well as preclinical and clinical evaluation.

    Abstract Human serum albumin (HSA) is widely used for the treatment of diverse clinical conditions to restore plasma volume, manage burns and treat hypoproteinemia.Although the HSA preparations should ideally preserve its functionality, the structural integrity and antioxidant properties of HSA may be compromised as a result of the manufacturing process. The present study examined seven commercially available HSA preparations for clinical use to investigate their post-translational modifications (PTMs) and antioxidant activity, including DPPH radical-scavenging, peroxyl radical antioxidant and metal binding activities, by means of mass spectrometry and Ellman's assay. The results confirmed that most of the PTMs of HSA and especially the oxidation of the free thiol residue varied between the different commercial albumins and the percentage of these PTMs were higher than those of physiological HSA. Moreover, HSA-DA isoform was increased at the end of the stability time and new oxidative modifications occurred in these samples. In conclusion, the bioprocesses for production of commercial albumins are responsible of their wide heterogeneity, being the ethanol fractionation and their storage conditions the more critical phases. Nonetheless, the Kedrion albumin shows a high content of free thiol and a lower concentration of PTMs than other commercial albumins.

    Abstract Background: Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA, liquid biopsy) is a powerful tool to detect molecular alterations. However, depending on tumor characteristics, biology and anatomic localization, cfDNA detection and analysis may be challenging. Gliomas are enclosed into an anatomic sanctuary, which obstacles the release of cfDNA into the peripheral blood. Therefore, the advantages of using liquid biopsy for brain tumors is still to be confirmed. The present study evaluates the ability of liquid biopsy to detect IDH1 mutations and its correlation with survival and clinical characteristics of glioma patients.
    Methods: Blood samples obtained from glioma patients were collected after surgery prior to the adjuvant therapy. cfDNA was extracted from plasma and IDH1 p.R132H mutation analysis was performed on a digital droplet PCR. χ2-test and Cohen k were used to assess the correlation between plasma and tissue IDH1 status, while Kaplan Meier curve and Cox regression analysis were applied to survival analysis. Statistical calculations were performed by MedCalc and GraphPad Prism software.
    Results: A total of 67 samples were collected. A concordance between IDH1 status in tissue and in plasma was found (p = 0.0024), and the presence of the IDH1 mutation both in tissue (138.8 months vs 24.4, p < 0.0001) and cfDNA (116.3 months vs 35.8, p = 0.016) was associated with longer median OS. A significant association between IDH1 mutation both in tissue and cfDNA, age, tumor grade and OS was demonstrated by univariate Cox regression analysis. No statistically significant association between IDH1 mutation and tumor grade was found (p = 0.10).
    Conclusions: The present study demonstrates that liquid biopsy may be used in brain tumors to detect IDH1 mutation which represents an important prognostic biomarker in patients with different types of gliomas, being associated to OS.

    Abstract Cabozantinib was recently approved for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted therapy. Cabozantinib is a multikinase inhibitor targeting VEGF receptor (VEGFR) 2, mesenchymal-epithelial transition receptor, and "anexelekto" receptor tyrosine kinase. A 60-mg daily dose led to improved overall survival and progression-free survival (PFS) versus everolimus in advanced RCC patients as a second- or later-line treatment in the METEOR trial. Improved PFS with cabozantinib versus sunitinib has also been demonstrated in the first-line setting in CABOSUN. However, cabozantinib, like other VEGFR inhibitors, is associated with toxicity that may affect the patient's quality of life. The most frequent adverse events (AEs) are diarrhea, fatigue, hypertension, hand-foot syndrome, weight loss, nausea, and stomatitis. This article summarizes the safety profile of cabozantinib in RCC patients and offers guidance for the management of these AEs. We discuss the underlying mechanisms of these AEs and, based on our experiences with cabozantinib and other multikinase inhibitors, we present approaches to manage toxicity. Prophylactic and therapeutic solutions are available to help with the management of toxicity associated with cabozantinib, and adequate interventions can ensure optimum adherence and maximize patient outcomes.
    Implications for practice: Cabozantinib leads to improved survival outcomes in renal cell carcinoma patients compared with everolimus. However, management of the adverse event profile is crucial to achieve optimum adherence and outcomes with the use of cabozantinib. This review aims to provide appropriate guidance that will minimize the impact of adverse events and help to maximize the utility of this agent in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.
