Context: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most common form of inherited hypophosphatemic rickets (HR), caused by pathogenic variants in the gene. Genetic diagnosis of XLH facilitates early treatment optimization, especially for patients suitable for burosumab, a recombinant anti-fibroblast growth factor-23 monoclonal antibody.

Objective: This study aimed to use whole-exome sequencing (WES) and pedigree analysis to identify patients with XLH.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety/tolerability and pharmacokinetics of simlukafusp alfa (FAP-IL2v), an immunocytokine containing an anti-fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP) antibody and an IL2 variant, administered alone or with the PDL1 inhibitor atezolizumab, in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors.

Patients And Methods: In this phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study, patients received i.v.

Background: Radiofluorination of single domain antibodies (sdAbs) via N-succinimidyl-4-[F]fluorobenzoate ([F]SFB) has shown to be a promising strategy in the development of sdAb-based PET tracers. While automation of the prosthetic group (PG) [F]SFB production, has been successfully reported, no practical method for large scale sdAb labelling has been reported. Therefore, we optimized and automated the PG production, enabling a subsequently efficient manual conjugation reaction to an anti-fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-α sdAb (4AH29) and an anti-folate receptor (FR)-α sdAb (2BD42).

Article Synopsis
  • In the last ten years, new treatments for advanced bladder cancer have been made, including special drugs that help the immune system fight cancer and other combined therapies.
  • Two important studies showed that using combinations of these drugs with chemotherapy can help patients live longer.
  • In 2024, doctors are looking at how these new treatments can be used together or alone to manage bladder cancer better, including some new ideas for using them early in treatment.

Esophageal cancer remains a highly aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis, despite ongoing advancements in treatments such as immunotherapy. The tumor microenvironment, particularly cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF), plays a crucial role in driving the aggressiveness of esophageal cancer. In a previous study utilizing human-derived xenograft models, we successfully developed a novel cancer treatment that targeted CAFs with near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT), as an adjuvant therapy.
