Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of sorafenib and liposome doxorubicin on poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) xenografts in nude mice.
Methods: Sorafenib and liposome doxorubicin were applied to PDTC xenografts in nude mice. The mice were randomized into seven groups: blank control (A), vehicle control (B), single liposome doxorubicin (C), single sorafenib group (D), liposome doxorubicin combined with low dose sorafenib group (E), combined group with medium dosage of sorafenib (F), combined group with high-dose of sorafenib(G). The volume, weight and growth inhibition rate of tumours were measured to evaluate the therapeutic effects of drugs.
Results: Sorafenib and liposome doxorubicin showed significant antitumor activity in the PDTC xenografts. The mean tumor volumes of seven groups were (1274.13 ± 393.76) mm(3), (1060.00 ± 469.05) mm(3), (726.76 ± 488.22) mm(3), (451.54 ± 97.75) mm(3), (518.37 ± 164.44) mm(3), (310.51 ± 210.53) mm(3), and (228.44 ± 129.21) mm(3), respectively. The mean tumor weights of the seven groups were (1.13 ± 0.42)g, (0.91 ± 0.39)g, (0.78 ± 0.45)g, (0.55 ± 0.17) g, (0.52 ± 0.19) g, (0.34 ± 0.21) g, and (0.19 ± 0.09) g separately. The tumor inhibition rates of group C to G were 30.8%, 40.8%, 42.3%, 62.9%, 72.6% separately.
Conclusions: Sorafenib and liposome doxorubicin, no matter for single agent or in combination, showed significant antitumor activity in the PDTC PDTC xenografts in vivo. The tumour-inhibited effect of single sorafenib is better than that of single liposome doxorubicin. Liposome doxorubicin combined with medium dosage of sorafenib had a better therapeutic effect and less side effects.

Background: Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) and oral mucositis (OM) are common adverse events during cancer chemotherapy and can significantly decrease patients' quality of life and chemotherapy adaptation, however, prevention strategies of these complications yet to be established.
Methods: Patients with stage I-III breast cancer, who had surgery and needed pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD)-based adjuvant chemotherapy were screened, recruited and randomly assigned to receive either probiotics or placebo (three capsules, twice/day) treatment during the course of chemotherapy from Nov. 2019 to Aug.
PEGylated Nanoliposomal Doxorubicin Conjugated with Specific TREM2 Peptides for Glioma-Targeting Therapy.

PEGylated liposomes can deliver anti-cancer drugs to brain tumors, and achieve enhanced permeability and retention effects. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is an excellent biomarker for precise therapy of glioma. The present study is aimed at designing PEGylated nanoliposomal doxorubicin (PLD) conjugated with peptides targeting TREM2 for glioma-targeting therapy.

Previous preclinical and clinical data suggest a potential synergy between immune checkpoint inhibitors and bevacizumab in rGCCC. Dostarlimab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), combined with the anti-angiogenic bevacizumab, presents a novel therapeutic approach.

Autologous tumor cell membrane antigen-based vaccines (TMVs) have garnered extensive attention as personalized immunotherapy. However, patients who take TMVs therapy usually undergo various treatments prior to surgery, and these processes modulate the immunogenicity of the tumor membrane and the tumor immune microenvironment. Herein, we investigate the impact of preoperative chemotherapy on the efficacy of TMVs.

Olaparib treatment significantly improved objective response rate (primary end point) and progression-free survival versus nonplatinum chemotherapy in patients with BRCA-mutated platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer in the open-label phase III SOLO3 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02282020). We report final overall survival (OS; prespecified secondary end point), post hoc OS analysis by number of previous chemotherapy lines, and exploratory BRCA reversion mutation analysis.
