This phase 1b study aimed to evaluate the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of HR070803, a novel nanoliposomal formulation of irinotecan, in combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin in patients with pretreated advanced solid tumors. This study consisted of dose-escalation and expansion stages. Dose escalation was performed with a traditional 3 + 3 design; patients received intravenous infusion of HR070803 from 60 to 80 mg/m, followed by leucovorin (200 mg/m) and 5-fluorouracil (2000 mg/m) every 2 weeks.

Article Synopsis
  • A phase II study in China investigated the combination therapy of surufatinib and toripalimab in patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) who had not responded to standard treatments.
  • Forty patients participated, with objective response rates of 21.1% for NETs and 23.8% for NECs/MiNENs; the median duration of response was approximately 7.1 months for NETs and 4.1 months for NECs/MiNENs.
  • The treatment showed antitumor activity with a tolerable safety profile, prompting further research into this combination for advanced NECs, which

The aim of this study is to explore the value of combined detection of ABO blood group and tumor markers in the diagnosis of gastric cancer. A total of 3650 gastric cancer patients treated in our center from January 2015 to December 2019, and 5822 controls were recruited, and divided into training set and validation set according to 7:3. The diagnostic and predictive model of gastric cancer was constructed by binary logistic regression method in the training set.

Background: Senaparib, a novel poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1/2 inhibitor, demonstrated antitumor activity in preclinical studies. This phase I, first-in-human, dose-escalation/-expansion study explored the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity of senaparib in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors.

Patients And Methods: Adults with advanced solid tumors who had failed ³1 line of prior systemic treatment were enrolled.

Background And Objective: The development of epigenetics holds great promise for diagnosis and treatment of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). The purpose of this work was to analyze the correlation between Ras Homolog Gene Family Member H (RHOH) expression and methylation in patients with LUAD and its association with survival.

Methods: Data related to gene expression, DNA methylation, and clinical features of LUAD from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were analyzed.

Purpose: ARX788 is a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of an anti-HER2 mAb and a potent tubulin inhibitor payload AS269 that is site-specifically conjugated to the antibody via a nonnatural amino acid incorporated into the antibody. Herein, we present the results of a phase I study of the safety, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of ARX788 in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC).

Patients And Methods: Patients with HER2-positive MBC received ARX788 at doses of 0.

Article Synopsis
  • KN026 is a new bispecific antibody that targets two different HER2 sites and was tested for safety, effectiveness, and potential biomarkers in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
  • In a phase I study involving 63 female patients who had not responded to prior HER2 treatments, various doses of KN026 were administered, with 20 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg showing promising results in efficacy.
  • The treatment was generally well tolerated, with common side effects like fever and diarrhea, and the study identified co-amplification of HER2 and CDK12 as a potential biomarker for better patient response to KN026.

Background: Abemaciclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitor, is approved in combination with endocrine therapy or as monotherapy for hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-negative (HR+/HER2-) advanced breast cancer outside of China.

Objective: To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of abemaciclib in Chinese patients with advanced and/or metastatic cancers.

Patients And Methods: A multicenter, open-label, phase I trial of abemaciclib in Chinese patients with advanced and/or metastatic cancers was conducted.

Background: Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-drug conjugate that retains the antitumor effects of trastuzumab while also delivering the cytotoxic antimicrotubule agent, DM1, directly to tumor cells that overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of T-DM1 has been well characterized in Western, Asian, and Japanese patients; this single-center, phase I study (NCT03153163) examined the PK of T-DM1 and safety specifically in Chinese patients.

Methods: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane, received open-label T-DM1 at 3.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy profiles of R-CHOP and R-fCHOP regimes in the treatment of primary gastric diffuse large B cell lymphoma (PG-DLBCL).

Methods: Data of PG-DLBCL patients admitted in our hospital from March 2010 to March 2014 were collected retrospectively. Differences in gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation between the R-CHOP group and R-fCHOP group were compared.

Gastrointestinal diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a common subtype of extranodal lymphoma. There has been uncertainty about the clinical efficacy of combination therapy (surgery and chemotherapy) for gastrointestinal DLBCL. We retrospectively analyzed 114 patients with newly diagnosed gastrointestinal DLBCL from six medical centers.
