Structurally guided therapy shows promise for patients with specific EGFR-mutated lung cancer

For patients with EGFR PACC-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the targeted therapy firmonertinib achieved durable antitumor activity in a Phase Ib trial led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, supporting an approach to selecting...

Urinary Liver‐Type Fatty Acid‐Binding Protein, Albuminuria, and eGFR Trajectories in Type 2 Diabetes

Urinary L-FABP predicted eGFR decline and persistent albuminuria before UACR adjustment; however, both associations disappeared after adjustment for continuous baseline UACR, indicating that quantita To the Editor, Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) are the principal...

EGFR-targeted antibody−toxin conjugate in recurrent glioma: a phase 1 trial

D2C7-ATC is a recombinant antibody−toxin conjugate (ATC) targeting wild-type epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and mutant EGFR variant III (EGFRvIII). We conducted a single-arm, single-site, open-label phase 1 trial evaluating a single infusion of D2C7-ATC via convection-enhanced delivery in the...

Simultaneous occurrence of HER2 mutation and PD-L1 high expression in EGFR-mutant NSCLC: a case report

Abstract In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), EGFR and HER2 mutations are generally considered mutually exclusive events, with a co-occurrence probability estimated to be less than 1%. Patients with either EGFR or HER2 mutations tend to exhibit low PD-L1 expression...

Efficacy and safety of antibody–drug conjugates in EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer after EGFR-TKI resistance: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BackgroundAntibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as potential treatment options for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after EGFR-tyrosine Abstract Background: Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as potential treatment options for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor...

AENEAS2: Aumolertinib Plus Chemotherapy Extends PFS in EGFR-Mutant Advanced NSCLC

AENEAS2: Aumolertinib Plus Chemotherapy Extends PFS in EGFR-Mutant Advanced NSCLC First-line treatment for EGFR-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) continues to evolve from EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) monotherapy toward more intensive strategies designed to delay acquired resistance and prolong...

Cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity observed during third-generation EGFR-TKI-based treatment in EGFR-mutant NSCLC: a retrospective cohort study

AbstractBackground Cardiovascular toxicity has been reported during treatment with osimertinib, but evidence for other third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors remains limited. Whether similar cardiovascular abnormalities occur during treatment with different agents in this class remains uncertain. We investigated the incidence,...

Negative creatinine–cystatin C eGFR discordance is associated with immunovirologic vulnerability in people with HIV

AbstractBackground People living with HIV (PLWH) remain at risk of kidney dysfunction, making the assessment of glomerular filtration an component of HIV care. However, both creatinine- and cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are influenced by non-GFR determinants, and...
