Abstract KRAS G12C mutation is prevalent in ~4% of colorectal cancer (CRC) and associated with poor prognosis. Divarasib, a inhibitor, has shown modest activity as single agent KRA S -positive CRC at 400 mg. Epidermal growth factor receptor been recognized major upstream activator RAS–MAPK signaling, proposed key mechanism resistance to inhibition CRC. Here, we report on divarasib plus cetuximab (epidermal inhibitor) patients ( n = 29) from arm C an ongoing phase 1b trial. The primary objective was evaluate safety. Secondary objectives included preliminary antitumor activity. safety profile this combination consistent those single-agent cetuximab. Treatment-related adverse events led dose reductions four (13.8%); there were no treatment withdrawals. response rate 62.5% (95% confidence interval: 40.6%, 81.2%) inhibitor-naive 24). median duration 6.9 months. progression-free survival 8.1 months 5.5, 12.3).

Abstract Esophageal cancer (EC) is one of the most lethal cancers in world, and its morbidity mortality rates rank among top ten China. Currently, surgical resection, radiotherapy chemotherapy are primary clinical treatments for esophageal cancer. However, outcomes still unsatisfactory due to limited efficacy severe adverse effects conventional treatments. As a new type approach, targeted therapies have been confirmed play an important role treatment cancer; these include cetuximab bevacizumab, which target epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) vascular endothelial (VEGF), respectively. In addition, other drugs targeting surface antigens signaling pathways or acting on immune checkpoints continuously developed. For example, trastuzumab, monoclonal antibody human 2 (HER-2), has approved by Food Drug Administration (FDA) as first-line HER-2-positive Moreover, PD-L1 inhibitor pembrolizumab highly efficient drug patients with PD-L1-positive advanced squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). These novel can be used alone combination strategies further improve prognosis patients.

Adagrasib, an oral small-molecule inhibitor of mutant KRAS G12C protein, has shown clinical activity in pretreated patients with several tumor types, including colorectal cancer. Preclinical studies suggest that combining a epidermal growth factor receptor antibody could be effective strategy.In this phase 1-2, open-label, nonrandomized trial, we assigned heavily metastatic cancer to receive adagrasib monotherapy (600 mg orally twice daily) or (at the same dose) combination intravenous cetuximab once week (with initial loading dose 400 per square meter body-surface area, followed by 250 meter) every 2 weeks 500 meter).

Colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common type of cancer, is second leading cause cancer-related mortality rates worldwide. Although modern research was able to shed light on pathogenesis CRC and provide enhanced screening strategies, prevalence still rise. Studies showed several cellular signaling pathways dysregulated in CRC, onset malignant phenotypes. Therefore, analyzing involved metastasis necessary elucidate underlying mechanism progression pharmacotherapy. This review focused target genes as well various including Wnt/β-catenin, p53, TGF-β/SMAD, NF-κB, Notch, VEGF, JAKs/STAT3, which are associated with metastasis. Additionally, alternations methylation patterns relation regulating mechanisms such cell cycle, transcription, apoptosis, angiogenesis invasion were also reviewed. To date, understanding genomic epigenomic instability has identified candidate biomarkers that validated for routine clinical use management. Nevertheless, better can aid development early detection molecular markers risk stratification methods improve care patients.

Gut-microbial butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) of significant physiological importance than the other major SCFAs (acetate and propionate). Most producers belong to Clostridium cluster phylum Firmicutes, such as Faecalibacterium , Roseburia Eubacterium Anaerostipes Coprococcus Subdoligranulum Anaerobutyricum . They metabolize carbohydrates via butyryl-CoA: acetate CoA-transferase pathway kinase terminal enzymes produce most butyrate. Although, in minor fractions, amino acids can also be utilized generate glutamate lysine pathways. Butyrogenic microbes play vital role various gut-associated metabolisms. Butyrate used by colonocytes energy, stabilizes hypoxia-inducible factor maintain anaerobic environment gut, maintains gut barrier integrity regulating Claudin-1 synaptopodin expression, limits pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-12), inhibits oncogenic pathways (Akt/ERK, Wnt, TGF-β signaling). Colonic shape microbial community secreting anti-microbial substances, cathelicidins, reuterin, β-defensin-1, homeostasis releasing anti-inflammatory molecules, IgA, vitamin B, molecules. Additionally, producers, anti-carcinogenic metabolites, shikimic precursor conjugated linoleic acid.
