BUFFALO, NY – March 31, 2026 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on March 27, 2026, titled “The SCD1 inhibitor aramchol interacts with regorafenib and metformin to kill tumor cells.” Led by Michael R. Booth, Laurence Booth, and Jane L. Roberts from Virginia Commonwealth University, with corresponding author Paul Dent from the same institution and John M. Kirkwood from the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, the study examines how aramchol interacts with regorafenib and metformin to kill tumor cells, particularly patient-derived uveal melanoma (UM) cells and cholangiocarcinoma cells. The authors report that aramchol, regorafenib, and metformin interact to enhance tumor cell killing, with the strongest effects seen when metformin is added to aramchol plus regorafenib. In patient-derived UM cells and LD-1 cholangiocarcinoma cells, the three-drug combination increased autophagosome formation and autophagic flux, while knockdown of Beclin1, ATG5, or LAMP2 reduced autophagosome and autolysosome formation and lowered cell killing. The study also found that BID contributes to the lethal response, supporting a multifactorial mechanism involving macroautophagy and death-receptor signaling. “Our data demonstrates that UM cells are killed by treatment with aramchol plus regorafenib plus metformin via enhanced autophagic flux and that this combination may have the potential to control UM tumors that have metastasized to the liver.” The authors also note that while SCD1 knockdown increased baseline tumor cell death, it did not replicate the full anticancer effects of aramchol, suggesting additional molecular targets contribute to its activity. They emphasize the need for further in vivo studies to evaluate the therapeutic potential of this combination in metastatic uveal melanoma, particularly in liver-targeted disease.

Amplia Therapeutics Limited (ASX:ATX, OTCQB:INNMF) chief operating officer Dr Rhiannon Jones talked with Jonathan Jackson with Proactive at the ASX Small and Mid-Caps Conference about the company's development of Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) inhibitors targeting fibrotic cancers, including pancreatic and ovarian cancer. Jones explained how Amplia's lead drug works to reduce the fibrotic matrix surrounding tumours, improving the ability of chemotherapy to penetrate and act effectively. She noted that this approach is particularly relevant in difficult-to-treat cancers such as pancreatic cancer, where dense tissue can limit treatment success. Discussing results from the ongoing ACCENT clinical trial, Jones highlighted a significant milestone. Independent reviewers identified multiple complete responses, with tumours and metastases disappearing in several patients. As she stated: “There were five patients across both the part A and part B of the study that had a disappearance of the tumour and metastases.” She added that this compares favourably to historical data, where such outcomes are extremely rare. Jones emphasised that while curing pancreatic cancer remains challenging, progress is being made through combination therapies and continued research. She also outlined Amplia's upcoming milestones, including further data releases, continued progression of pancreatic cancer trials, and potential expansion into ovarian cancer studies. The company is also presenting its latest findings at major international conferences, helping raise awareness among key opinion leaders and the broader oncology community. #AmpliaTherapeutics #PancreaticCancer #CancerResearch #BiotechStocks #FAKInhibitors #ClinicalTrials #Oncology #DrugDevelopment #CancerTreatment #HealthcareInnovation #SmallCapStocks #BiotechNews #OvarianCancer #MedicalResearch #ProactiveInvestors

Send a textHerzinsuffizienz zählt zu den wichtigsten Risikofaktoren für perioperative Morbidität und Mortalität. Gleichzeitig gewinnen SGLT2-Inhibitoren als leitliniengerechte Therapie bei Herzinsuffizienz zunehmend an Bedeutung – mit neuen Herausforderungen für die perioperative Medizin. In dieser Episode besprechen wir, worauf es bei präoperativer Risikostratifizierung, intraoperativem Management und dem Umgang mit der potenziell euglykämen SGLT2i-assoziierten Ketoazidose ankommt.Roth S, Wagner NM. Perioperatives Management der Herzinsuffizienz im Kontext der SGLT2-Inhibitor-Therapie. Anästh Intensivmed. 2026;67:4–15. DOI: 10.19224/ai2026.004Die chronische Herzinsuffizienz ist eine häufige und prognostisch hochrelevante Komorbidität bei Patient:innen, die sich nichtkardiochirurgischen Eingriffen unterziehen. Sie ist mit einer deutlich erhöhten perioperativen Morbidität und Mortalität assoziiert. Der Übersichtsartikel von Roth und Wagner stellt die aktuelle Evidenz zur präoperativen Evaluation, zur perioperativen Fortführung leitliniengerechter Herzinsuffizienztherapie und zu den Besonderheiten des perioperativen Managements unter SGLT2-Inhibitoren systematisch dar. Ein zentraler Fokus liegt auf der modernen leitliniengerechten Pharmakotherapie der Herzinsuffizienz. Diese soll perioperativ grundsätzlich fortgeführt werden, sofern keine Kontraindikationen bestehen. Im Kontext von HFrEF, HFmrEF und HFpEF nehmen SGLT2-Inhibitoren inzwischen eine wichtige Rolle ein. Gleichzeitig stellen sie im perioperativen Umfeld eine besondere Herausforderung dar, da sie mit einer SGLT2i-assoziierten, potenziell normoglykämen Ketoazidose assoziiert sein können. Der Artikel erläutert, dass diese Komplikation durch perioperative Nüchternheit, chirurgischen Stress, Inflammation und Volumenmangel begünstigt werden kann und diagnostisch besonders relevant ist, weil Ketone in der üblichen Blutgasanalyse nicht automatisch erfasst werden. Für die Diagnostik empfehlen die Autor:innen bei unklarer metabolischer Azidose unter SGLT2i-Therapie ausdrücklich die Bestimmung von Ketonen, idealerweise von Beta-Hydroxybutyrat im Blut. Die Urindiagnostik kann falsch-niedrige oder negative Ergebnisse liefern, da dort vor allem Acetoacetat nachgewiesen wird. Therapeutisch steht bei Verdacht auf SGLT2i-assoziierte Ketoazidose die kombinierte Gabe von Glukose und Insulin mit engmaschiger Überwachung des Säure-Basen-Haushalts und der Elektrolyte im Vordergrund.Hinsichtlich des präoperativen Umgangs mit SGLT2-Inhibitoren beschreibt der Artikel eine weiterhin unklare Evidenzlage. Mehrere Fachgesellschaften empfehlen ein präoperatives Pausieren, meist etwa 72 Stunden vor elektiven Eingriffen, zugleich weisen neuere Daten darauf hin, dass ein pauschales Absetzen insbesondere bei Hochrisikopatient:innen mit Herzinsuffizienz auch Nachteile haben könnte. Daraus leiten die Autor:innen ein differenziertes, individualisiertes Vorgehen ab, das Nutzen und Risiko sorgfältig gegeneinander abwägt. Im intraoperativen Management wird ein organprotektives, engmaschig hämodynamisch gesteuertes Vorgehen betont, einschließlich früh etablierter invasiver Blutdruckmessung bei Herzinsuffizienzpatient:innen.nsgesamt unterstreicht der Beitrag, dass Patient:innen mit Herzinsuffizienz ein individualisiertes perioperatives Management benötigen und dass der optimale perioperative Umgang mit SGLT2-Inhibitoren derzeit noch nicht abschließend geklärt ist. Die SGLT2i-assoziierte Ketoazidose stellt dabei eine diagnostische und therapeutische Schlüsselherausforderung für die perioperative Medizin dar.
View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this special episode, Peter takes a deep dive into obicetrapib, an investigational drug that has captured his attention and renewed interest in an entire class of therapies known as CETP inhibitors. He explains what obicetrapib is and how it works, revisits the history of CETP inhibitors and why earlier versions of these drugs failed—sometimes dramatically—and breaks down the key clinical trials designed to evaluate their impact on cardiovascular risk. Peter examines how obicetrapib influences major lipid biomarkers, including LDL cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], and discusses emerging evidence from a study that explored the drug's effects on Alzheimer's-related blood biomarkers. He also highlights intriguing findings in individuals carrying the APOE4 allele and reflects on what these early results may mean for both cardiovascular disease prevention and potential implications for Alzheimer's risk, as well as how he is thinking about this therapy in the context of caring for his own patients. We discuss: Introducing obicetrapib: CETP inhibitor history, lipid biology, and early Alzheimer's biomarker signals in APOE4 carriers [2:15]; CETP biology explained: lipoproteins, reverse cholesterol transport, and how CETP inhibition alters HDL and LDL particles [5:15]; The early CETP inhibitor story: why raising HDL cholesterol alone failed to deliver cardiovascular protection [13:45]; The rise and fall of early CETP inhibitors: torcetrapib, dalcetrapib, evacetrapib, and anacetrapib [18:30]; Why obicetrapib may succeed where earlier CETP inhibitors failed [23:30]; The BROADWAY trial: obicetrapib's effects on LDL, ApoB, Lp(a), and residual cardiovascular risk [26:00]; Brain lipid metabolism and APOE4: how CETP inhibition may influence cholesterol transport in Alzheimer's disease [30:45]; Findings from the substudy of the BROADWAY trial which looked at changes in biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease [40:00]; Interpreting the BROADWAY Alzheimer's biomarker results: limitations, cautious optimism, and the need for a dedicated prevention trial [46:45]; Why Peter is optimistic about obicetrapib: cardiovascular benefits, Lp(a) reduction, and the path toward approval [50:00]; and More.

A phase 3 trial in The New England Journal of Medicine found that the oral PCSK9 inhibitor enlicitide reduced LDL by 57% at 24 weeks in high-risk patients, with similar adverse events to placebo. An oral option may improve uptake and help more patients reach lipid targets. In The Lancet, SMART-CHOICE 3 showed clopidogrel monotherapy after DAPT post-PCI reduced death, MI, or stroke versus aspirin, without more bleeding. Finally, a large meta-analysis confirmed most reported statin side effects are not causally linked, reinforcing their strong benefit–risk profile.
In today's episode, Andrew Lipsky, MD, reviewed recent updates with BTK inhibitors in the chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treatment paradigm, including the clinical significance of the December 2025 FDA approval of pirtobrutinib (Jaypirca) in relapsed/refractory CLL and its effect on sequencing decisions for this disease. Dr Lipsky is an assistant professor of medicine at the Columbia University Medical Center in New York, New York.In the exclusive interview, Dr Lipsky expanded on the positioning of this agent within the evolving CLL treatment paradigm and patient characteristics that may inform its use in practice; key efficacy and safety findings from a pooled analysis of the phase 3 BRUIN CLL-321 (NCT04666038) and phase 1/2 BRUIN LOXO-BTK-18001 (NCT03740529) studies presented during the 2025 ASH Annual Meeting; and the evolving role of BTK inhibitors as a whole in CLL management.
Most breast cancers depend on estrogen to grow. This dependence explains why hormone-based treatments, such as aromatase inhibitors, are among the most effective therapies for estrogen receptor–positive breast cancer. Despite their success, these treatments do not work indefinitely for all patients. Over time, many tumors adapt to estrogen deprivation and continue to survive, grow, and spread. This process, known as aromatase inhibitor resistance, represents a major clinical challenge and is often associated with more aggressive disease and poorer outcomes. One reason resistant breast tumors are difficult to treat is that cancer cells adapt their internal signaling systems. Instead of relying on estrogen, they activate alternative growth pathways, including the MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways. These pathways promote cell survival, movement, and resistance to therapy and are frequently driven by proteins such as KRAS and related G-proteins, which have historically been difficult to target. A recent study published in Oncotarget suggests now that a new class of compounds may offer a way to overcome this resistance.

Tyrone shares openly about not only coming to terms with his alopecia but about simultaneously coming out of the closet as gay. He details meeting his now husband in college and adopting their son Declan. Plus, Tyrone talks about getting to a place where he felt strong enough to want to help others struggling with alopecia AND like Lindsey, making the complicated decision to go on a JAK inhibitor.
For decades, allergists have focused on blocking what happens outside the mast cell: histamine, IgE, and interleukins. But now, there's a new way to stop allergic inflammation before it even starts: by targeting what happens inside the cell with BTK Inhibitors. Dr. Payel Gupta and Kortney are joined by Dr. Matthew Giannetti to unpack what BTK actually does and why inhibiting it represents an exciting breakthrough in allergy and immunology. Together, they explore how BTK inhibitors work, why this inside-the-cell approach is different from anything before, and what it could mean for people living with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). What the episode covers about BTK inhibitors: BTK explained: Bruton's tyrosine kinase is a pivotal “last step” before mast-cell degranulation. How BTK inhibitors work: Blocking BTK can stop histamine release downstream of many outside triggers. The science: Why BTK binding is irreversible for each molecule and how the body “re-makes” BTK over time. Safety in brief: A look at petechiae (small pinpoint spots), what to monitor, and how shared decision-making guides treatment choices. The future of BTK inhibitors: Exploring their potential role in other allergic conditions. ____ Made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.

In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Julia Lea Ziegengeist, PharmD, BCOP, clinical pharmacist coordinator in solid tumor oncology at Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute about proactive, team-based strategies to identify, monitor, and manage treatment-related toxicities in patients with early-stage and metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. Dr. Ziegengeist sheds light on the patient journey, the roles of various multidisciplinary care team members, and useful resources for language and literacy barriers. “I think the biggest thing that is specific to CDK4/6 inhibitors is... eligibility criteria and when we're using the drugs in what setting, having those monitoring protocols and getting that multidisciplinary collaboration is really key.” – Julia Lea Ziegengeist, PharmD, BCOP Julia Lea Ziegengeist, PharmD, BCOP Clinical Pharmacist Coordinator, Solid Tumor Oncology Levine Cancer Institute Atrium Health Charlotte, NC Resources: ACCC Resource: CDK4/6 Inhibitors Management ACCC CDK4/6 Inhibitors Infographic
In this week's episode we'll learn about targeting NPM1 in acute myeloid leukemia. Researchers report the first clinical evidence of a menin inhibitor inducing complete remissions in AML with a NPM1 mutation. This validates NPM1 as a new therapeutic target in AML, alongside FLT3, IDH1/2, and KMT2A. Also on the podcast: targeting CD137 to prevent graft-versus-host disease. In nonhuman primates, a single dose of a CD137 antibody-drug conjugate provided long-term protection, with one important caveat: the potential for viral reactivation.Featured Articles: Menin inhibition with revumenib for NPM1-mutated relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia: the AUGMENT-101 studyA single dose of a CD137 antibody–drug conjugate protects rhesus macaque allogeneic HCT recipients against acute GVHD
Dan Schmitt, President and CEO of Actuate Therapeutics, is developing a cancer therapy that inhibits GSK3β, a key enzyme that is hijacked in cancer cells to drive tumor growth. Inhibiting this enzyme can impact the cancer cells and stimulate an immune response against the tumor. Actuate selected metastatic pancreatic cancer as their first target due to unmet need and promising data for their lead drug candidate. This could represent a significant advancement in the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer, offering a new standard-of-care option. Dan explains, "So, GSK-3β is a known quantity across a number of inflammatory diseases. It was understood when we first started the company that, particularly in cancer cells, GSK is hijacked in its activity. Basically it's been shown that in normal cells, GSK-3β sits in the cytoplasmic domain and there it's involved in multiple paths, basically in glucose metabolism. But in cancer cells, it translocates into the nuclear compartment, and there it's accumulated at much higher levels and then sits upstream of a pro-oncogenic set of pathways, all mediated by NF-κB. NF-κB is notorious in cancer. It regulates gene expression involved in tumor growth and progression, chemoresistance, and protects tumor cells from death." "So it's been very difficult to target NF-κB directly, but we can target GSK-3β directly, specifically and potently, and therefore downregulate those key oncogenic processes. And that's really where we started the company, that set of activities of this protein. What's been shown since we've been in the clinic is that there is also a resulting upregulation of immune response from the host towards the cancer itself based on this inhibition of GSK-3β as well." #ActuateTherapeutics #Cancer #PancreaticCancer #MetastaticPancreaticCancer actuatetherapeutics.com Download the transcript here

In this week's episode we'll learn about how by combining PET response with circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA, in newly treated patients with follicular lymphoma, investigators identify those patients likely to progress within 24 months of initial treatment, also known as POD24. After that: Immune hotspots in aplastic anemia. These newly identified hotspots potentially represent sites in the bone marrow where the active immune response takes place, driving the destruction of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Finally, allogeneic transplantation for Hodgkin lymphoma in the checkpoint inhibitor era. In a large, retrospective study, patients with prior checkpoint inhibitor exposure had remarkable outcomes, particularly when post-transplant cyclophosphamide was used.Featured Articles: Combined PET and ctDNA response as predictors of POD24 for follicular lymphoma after first-line induction treatmentImaging Mass Cytometry Reveals the Order of Events in the Pathogenesis of Immune-Mediated Aplastic AnemiaOutcomes of Allogeneic HCT in Hodgkin Lymphoma in the Era of Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Joint CIBMTR and EBMT Analysis
BUFFALO, NY - August 13, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on July 29, 2025, titled “PCAIs stimulate MAPK, PI3K/AKT pathways and ROS-Mediated apoptosis in aromatase inhibitor-resistant breast cancer cells while disrupting actin filaments and focal adhesion.” In this study, led by first author Jassy Mary S. Lazarte and corresponding author Nazarius S. Lamango from Florida A&M University College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, researchers investigated a new class of compounds called polyisoprenylated cysteinyl amide inhibitors (PCAIs) as a potential treatment for aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy resistant breast cancer. Aromatase inhibitors are a common treatment for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, but many patients eventually develop resistance, leaving fewer therapeutic options. The study focused on a PCAI compound called NSL-YHJ-2-27, which was tested in long-term letrozole-treated breast cancer cells (LTLT-Ca), an experimental model of AI therapy resistance. NSL-YHJ-2-27 activated two major signaling pathways, MAPK and PI3K/AKT. Although these pathways typically support cancer cell survival, their overstimulation by PCAIs led to increased oxidative stress, damaging the cells and inducing cell death by apoptosis. The compound also reduced levels of RAC1 and CDC42, proteins involved in maintaining cell shape and movement. These alterations resulted in cytoskeletal disruption and reduced structural integrity, making the cancer cells more vulnerable and less capable of spreading. Importantly, the effects of NSL-YHJ-2-27 persisted after the compound was removed, suggesting long-term control over AI resistant cancer cells may be possible. “PCAIs inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation by 95% and 74%, respectively, increased active caspase 7 and BAX 1.5-fold and 56%, respectively. NSL-YHJ-2-27 (10 μM) induced LTLT-Ca spheroid degeneration by 61%.” As a new class of targeted molecules, PCAIs represent an innovative approach distinct from traditional endocrine therapies. Their ability to affect multiple cellular mechanisms simultaneously makes them promising candidates for future drug development. Overall, this study presents a promising new approach for treating AI therapy-resistant breast cancer. By targeting cellular pathways that support survival and mobility, PCAIs like NSL-YHJ-2-27 could provide a novel strategy to manage advanced or resistant forms of the disease. Further research, including in vivo studies and clinical trials, will be essential to confirm these findings and evaluate their therapeutic potential.

In this episode, we discuss the evidence, safety, and place in therapy of Journavx® (suzetrigine), a newly approved analgesic with a unique non-opioid mechanism of action and additional considerations for its use. Key Concepts Suzetrigine is a first in its class NaV1.8 sodium channel blocker approved for short-term (14 days or less) pain relief in adults with moderate-to-severe pain. Unlike opioids, suzetrigine is non-sedating and non-dependence forming. Suzetrigine is taken as a whole pill without cutting, crushing, or chewing following a particular dosing schedule where the first dose is taken on an empty-stomach. The most common side effects of suzetrigine include pruritus, muscle spasms, increased CPK, rash, and transient (reversible) eGFR decrease. Suzetrigine goes through CYP3A metabolism and therefore has significant interactions with CYP3A inducers and inhibitors. Use with strong inhibitors and moderate to strong inducers is not recommended. Dose reduction of suzetrigine is required if used with moderate inhibitors of CYP3A. Although not formally adopted in a guideline recommendation, suzetrigine's current place in therapy can be moderate-to-severe acute pain relief in adult patients after NSAIDs/APAP options are exhausted, but before or in place of opioid therapy.

Discover the future of pain management on this episode of Atomic Anesthesia as we explore a major breakthrough: the FDA approval of suzetrigine, a first-in-class, nonopioid pain medication. Guided by cutting-edge research and expert editorial insight from Anesthesiology, we dig into how suzetrigine works—targeting the NaV1.8 sodium channel in peripheral nerves—and what this means for patients and providers facing acute pain. You'll hear about the pivotal NAVIGATE clinical trials, real-world patient experiences, and the medication's advantages over traditional opioids, including fewer side effects and no risk of addiction. Whether you're a healthcare professional, patient, or someone passionate about medical innovation, join us to learn how suzetrigine is poised to reshape pain relief and help bridge the gap left by the opioid crisis.References:Bertoch T, D'Aunno D, McCoun J, Solanki D, Taber L, Urban J, Oswald J, Swisher MW, Tian S, Miao X, Correll DJ, Negulescu P, Bozic C, Weiner SG.
