Patient-reported outcomes of rezvilutamide versus bicalutamide in combination with androgen deprivation therapy in high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients (CHART): a randomized, phase 3 study.

The randomized phase 3 CHART trial (NCT03520478) revealed that rezvilutamide (REZ) plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in high-volume, metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) significantly enhanced radiographic progression-free and overall survival than bicalutamide (BIC)-ADT. Accordingly, we examined patient-reported outcomes (PROs) results, which were exploratory endpoints in the CHART trial. The patients were randomly allocated to receive REZ-ADT or BIC-ADT in a 1:1 ratio.

Phase 1b study of first-line fuzuloparib combined with modified FOLFIRINOX followed by fuzuloparib maintenance monotherapy in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Background: Chemotherapy remains the standard first-line treatment for pancreatic adenocarcinoma, but with limited efficacy. We aimed to explore the feasibility of adding the PARP inhibitor fuzuloparib to mFOLFIRINOX in the locally advanced/metastatic (LA/M) setting.

Methods: This was the dose-escalation and -expansion, phase 1b portion of a phase 1b/2 study.

Histone methyltransferase KMT2C plays an oncogenic role in prostate cancer.

Purpose: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in males. Epigenetic modifier abnormalities are becoming a driving event in PCa. The specific role of KMT2C, a histone methyltransferase that is frequently aberrant in various tumors, is poorly understood in PCa.

Tracing steroidogenesis in prostate biopsy samples to unveil prostate tissue androgen metabolism characteristics and potential clinical application.

Androgens are essential for prostate cancer development. However, steroidogenesis has mainly been investigated in a limited number of prostate cancer cell lines, leading to varied conclusions and elusive clinical significance. Here, we established an ex vivo research platform with fresh biopsy samples transiently cultured with tritium- labelled androgens to trace steroidogenesis in prostate tissues and investigate its potential clinical application.

Enhanced wild-type p53 expression by small activating RNA dsP53-285 induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in pheochromocytoma cell line PC12.

Malignant pheochromocytoma (PHEO) is diagnosed only when metastasis has occurred, making it less likely for patients to obtain the benefits of traditional chemotherapy. Anti-oncogene TP53 mutation has been detected in PHEO and is possibly related to disease progression. However, whether the upregulation of wild-type TP53 has antitumoral effects on PHEO remains completely unknown.

Apogossypolone (ApoG2) induces ROS-dependent apoptosis and reduces invasiveness of PC12 cells and .

Malignant pheochromocytoma is accurately diagnosed only at occurrence of metastatic foci. However, at that time, patients are less likely to get many benefits from traditional chemotherapy. Over-expression of BCL-2 family proteins is tightly correlated with progression of pheochromocytoma.

NVP-AUY922, a novel HSP90 inhibitor, inhibits the progression of malignant pheochromocytoma in vitro and in vivo.

Purpose: Malignant pheochromocytoma (PCC) is a rare tumor with a very poor prognosis and no effective treatments. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a novel second-generation synthetic heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor, NVP-AUY922, to treat malignant PCC in vitro and in vivo.

Materials And Methods: Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assays were used to assess the effects of NVP-AUY922 on the proliferation and migration of the PCC cell line PC12.

Co-inhibition of EGFR and IGF1R synergistically impacts therapeutically on adrenocortical carcinoma.

Purpose: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare tumor with very poor prognosis and no effective treatment. The aim of this study was to explore a novel therapy co-targeting EGFR and IGF1R in vitro and vivo.

Methods: The expression of EGFR and IGF1R were evaluated in a series of adrenocortical tumors by immunohistochemistry.
