まとめ
パルボシクリブをネオアジュヴァント内分泌療法 (NET) に加えると,ホルモン受容体陽性,HER2陰性乳がん患者のアウトカムは改善されなかった. この研究では,パルボシクリブとプラセボの有効性の有意な差は認められませんでした.
科学分野:
- 腫瘍学
- 薬理学について
背景:
- サイクリン依存キナーゼ4/6 (CDK4/ 6) 阻害剤は,乳がんにおける内分泌療法の有効性を高めます.
- ネオアジュバント内分泌療法 (NET) は,手術可能な,ホルモン受容体陽性,HER2陰性乳がんの治療法です.
研究 の 目的:
- 手術可能な,ホルモン受容体陽性,HER2陰性乳がんにおいて,NETにパルボシクリブを加える効果を評価する.
- 術前内分泌予後指数 (PEPI) スコアとEndoPredict (EP) 臨床リスクスコアに対するパルボシクリブの影響を評価する.
主な方法:
- 141人の患者が参加したランダム化3期ダブルブラインド試験.
- 患者は16週間のNET (卵巣機能を抑制するレトロゾールまたはタモキシフェン) とパルボシクリブまたはプラセボを投与された.
- コプライマリエンドポイント: PEPIスコアとEPclinリスクスコア
主要な成果:
- パルボシクリブとプラセボの間でPEPIスコアで統計的に有意な差はありません (p = 0. 563).
- EPclinリスクスコア分析は行われませんでした.
- プラセボ群の0%に対して,パルボシクリブ群の9. 7%が治療中止に至った.
結論:
- NETにパルボシクリブを追加しても,研究対象の乳がん患者では有効性が向上しませんでした.
- 新しい安全性に関する懸念は認められなかったが,有害事象による中止は,パルボシクリブ群で高かった.

Targeted Cancer Therapies
7.8K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.

Treatment Resistant Cancers
3.4K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Cancer Therapies
7.9K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Inhibition of Cdk Activity
4.9K
The orderly progression of the cell cycle depends on the activation of Cdk protein by binding to its cyclin partner. However, the cell cycle must be restricted when undergoing abnormal changes. Most cancers correlate to the deregulated cell cycle, and since Cdks are a central component of the cell cycle, Cdk inhibitors are extensively studied to develop anticancer agents. For instance, cyclin D associates with several Cdks, such as Cdk 4/6, to form an active complex. The cyclin D-Cdk4/6 complex...

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
2.7K
The ovarian cycle is meticulously regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. This cycle orchestrates the release of a mature oocyte, essential for reproduction.
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists
259
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy. SP binds and activates...
