Michael Lizardo, MS, PhD, a staff scientist in the Poul Sorensen laboratory at BC Cancer Agency, joins us on OsteoBites to discuss how the pharmacologic inhibition of EIF4A blocks NRF2 synthesis to prevent osteosarcoma metastasis.Dr. Lizardo shares his lab's recent findings in Clinical Cancer Research on how targeting the dysregulated mRNA translation factor eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (EIF4A), via pharmacological inhibitors, prevents the protein synthesis of nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (NRF2), which is a cytoprotective protein metastatic OS cells require to successfully colonize the harsh microenvironment of the lung. He also discusses how the EIF4A1 inhibitor, CR-1-31B, and a related clinical-grade compound (Zotatifin) prevent OS cell adaptation to oxidative stress (a major stressor in the lung) in 2D and 3D cell culture models, as well as ex vivo lung organotypic cultures. Moreover, he discusses how drug treatment can inhibit lung metastasis and prolong the survival of animal subjects in pre-clinical mouse models of metastatic OS.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guests: Bruce Sutor, M.D. & Megan R. Leloux, Pharm.D., R.Ph., BCPP Depression is very common both in the U.S. and worldwide. It's estimated that major depression affects over 8% of American adults, representing over 20 million individuals. Fortunately, we now have a variety of pharmacologic options for the management of depression and they're much safer than what we had available in the past. However, we now have so many choices, how do we know which medication is best for our patient? What's the difference between an SSRI and an SNRI? Is there an anti-depressant that's also effective in treating anxiety? Are some medications better for our elderly patients? I'll be asking these questions and more to my guests, psychiatrist Bruce Sutor, M.D., and pharmacist Megan R. Leloux, Pharm.D., R.Ph., BCPP, from the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Pharmacologic Management of Depression” as part of our “Holiday Stress and Wellness” podcast series.

Welcome to this OncoAlert Session Round Up during ASH24, focusing on Multiple Myeloma pharmacologic therapies.GMMG-HD7 Trial (JCO Publication)This phase 3 trial evaluated adding isatuximab (Isa) to the standard RVd (lenalidomide, bortezomib, dexamethasone) regimen in transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Part 1 randomized 662 patients to Isa-RVd or RVd, followed by autologous stem cell transplantation and a second randomization to lenalidomide or Isa-lenalidomide maintenance. Isa-RVd showed higher minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rates post-transplant (66% vs 48%) and improved progression-free survival (PFS) with a hazard ratio of 0.70 (P = .0184). Isa-RVd plus lenalidomide maintenance further improved PFS (P = .016), underscoring Isa's role in prolonging MRD negativity and PFS.IMROZ Trial (Phase 3)This trial analyzed Isa-VRd (isatuximab, bortezomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone) versus VRd in transplant-ineligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Isa-VRd led to significant improvements in PFS and deeper, sustained MRD negativity, with 68.6% achieving MRD negativity by month 36 compared to 50.8% in the VRd group. Isa-VRd also resulted in lower MRD loss rates during maintenance and improved conversion from MRD positivity to negativity, leading to longer PFS. These findings highlight Isa-VRd's potential for faster, durable responses and support its use to improve long-term outcomes in these patients.UK MRA Myeloma XI+ TrialThe phase 3 UKMRA/NCRI Myeloma XI+ trial compared KRdc (carfilzomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide) to sequential triplet therapies (CRd, CTd) in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients. After a median follow-up of 102 months, KRdc improved PFS (56 vs 37 months, hazard ratio 0.69, P < 0.001) across cytogenetic risk groups, with higher MRD negativity rates. Early MRD negativity correlated with better PFS. While overall survival was similar in contemporaneously randomized patients (76% vs 71% at 60 months), non-contemporaneous controls showed an overall survival benefit with KRdc (76% vs 68%, hazard ratio 0.80, P = 0.011). These results emphasize the depth of responses with KRdc, particularly for high-risk patients, and the importance of early MRD negativity for improved PFS and survival.DREAMM-7 Trial (Phase 3)This trial compared belantamab mafodotin (BVd) versus daratumumab (DVd), both combined with bortezomib and dexamethasone, in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. BVd demonstrated a significant PFS benefit (36.6 vs 13.4 months, hazard ratio 0.41, P < 0.00001), with higher complete response and MRD negativity rates (25% vs 10%). BVd also showed a longer response duration (35.6 vs 17.8 months) and early trends favoring overall survival (84% vs 73% at 18 months). Median overall survival was not reached, but projections estimate 84 months for BVd versus 51 months for DVd. BVd's safety profile included manageable ocular events, positioning it as a promising option for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma after first relapse.AQUILA Trial (NEJM Publication)This phase 3 trial evaluated subcutaneous daratumumab as monotherapy versus active monitoring in high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma. Among 390 patients, daratumumab reduced the risk of progression or death by 51% compared to monitoring (hazard ratio 0.49, P < 0.001) after a median follow-up of 65.2 months. At five years, PFS was 63.1% in the daratumumab group versus 40.8% in the monitoring group. Overall survival was higher with daratumumab (93.0% vs 86.9%). Daratumumab was well-tolerated, with hypertension being the most common grade 3 or 4 adverse event (5.7%), and no new safety concerns emerged. Daratumumab significantly delayed progression to active multiple myeloma and improved survival in high-risk patients.Disclosure: Supported by Sanofi.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Zachary Knight, Ph.D., a professor of physiology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigator. We discuss how the brain controls our sense of hunger, satiety, and thirst. He explains how dopamine levels impact our cravings and eating behavior (amount, food choices, etc) and how we develop and can change our food preferences and adjust how much we need to eat to feel satisfied. We discuss factors that have led to the recent rise in obesity, such as interactions between our genes and the environment and the role of processed foods and food combinations. We also discuss the new class of drugs developed for the treatment of obesity and diabetes, including the GLP-1 agonists semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro). We discuss how these drugs work to promote weight loss, the source of their side effects, and the newer compounds soon to overcome some of those side effects, such as muscle loss. Dr. Knight provides an exceptionally clear explanation for our sense of hunger, thirst, and food cravings that translates to practical knowledge to help listeners better understand their relationship to food, food choices, and meal size to improve their diet and overall health.

Summary: In this conversation, Dennis and Ian discuss the new high altitude Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) in the Joint Trauma System. They cover topics such as acute mountain sickness (AMS), high altitude cerebral edema (HACE), and high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). They discuss the pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for these conditions. They also touch on pre-treatment strategies and the use of portable hyperbaric chambers. Overall, the conversation provides a comprehensive overview of altitude-related illnesses and their management. In this conversation, Dennis and Ian discuss the treatment options for altitude illness, specifically AMS, HAPE, and HACE. They cover the use of pharmacologic therapy, oxygen, and portable hyperbaric chambers to stabilize and bring down patients with altitude illness. They also discuss the use of dexamethasone as the primary treatment for HACE and the potential use of hypertonic saline for extreme cases. They touch on the side effects of dexamethasone and the importance of protecting the airway. They also mention the use of acetazolamide for prophylaxis and the benefits of intermittent hypoxic exposure. Finally, they discuss the importance of good nutrition and hydration and the new medic encounter form for recording data on altitude illness. Takeaways: Acute mountain sickness (AMS) occurs when the body does not have enough time to acclimatize to the physiological stress of altitude. High altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is characterized by ataxia and can occur even without AMS symptoms. High altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is characterized by decreased exercise tolerance and tachypnea. Assessment of vital signs, such as heart rate and respiratory rate, can help differentiate between altitude illnesses. Portable hyperbaric chambers can be used to stabilize patients with altitude illnesses until they can be brought down to lower altitudes. Pharmacologic treatments, such as acetazolamide and dexamethasone, can be used for prophylaxis and treatment of altitude illnesses. Improvement in symptoms of HAPE can be rapid with oxygen therapy. Pre-treatment strategies, such as using acetazolamide, can help acclimatize the body to altitude before ascent. Pharmacologic therapy, oxygen, and portable hyperbaric chambers can be used to stabilize and bring down patients with altitude illness. Dexamethasone is the primary treatment for HACE, and hypertonic saline may be considered for extreme cases. Side effects of dexamethasone include increased sugar, gastric erosions, gastric bleeding, and adrenal suppression. Acetazolamide can be used for prophylaxis, and intermittent hypoxic exposure may help with acclimatization. Good nutrition, hydration, and iron status are important for preventing altitude illness. The new medic encounter form is a valuable tool for recording data on altitude illness.

Pearls and Quotes - Lifestyle & Pharmacologic Management of Obesity Identify obese patients not just using BMI, but also using anthropometric measurements such as waist circumference (central adiposity). Lifestyle modifications are our first line of defense against obesity! Current recommendations emphasize caloric restriction of at least 500kcal/day, plant-based and Mediterranean diets, and getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity weekly exercise. Dive into the root cause of eating and lifestyle behaviors. It is crucial to address adverse social determinants of health with patients to identify the driving behaviors, particularly among those individuals of low socioeconomic status. Newer weight loss agents are most effective at achieving and maintaining substantial weight loss, in particular Semaglutide (GLP-1) and Tirzepatide (GLP-1/GIP). Initiate at a low dose and titrate up slowly. Obesity is a risk factor and potential driver for HFpEF. Targeted treatment options for obese patients with HFpEF include SGLT-2 inhibitors and semaglutide, which recently showed improvement in quality of life and exercise capacity in the STEP-HFpEF trial. Show notes - Lifestyle & Pharmacologic Management of Obesity How do we identify and define obesity? The traditional definition of obesity is based on body mass index (BMI), defined as BMI greater than or equal to 30.0 kg/m2 (weight in kg/height in meters).Recognize that BMI may not tell the whole story. A limitation of BMI is it does not reflect differences in body composition and distribution of fat.Certain patients may not meet the BMI cutoff for obesity but have elevated cardiovascular risk based on increased central adiposity, specifically those that are categorized as overweight.The devil lies in the details of anthropometric parameters. Include waist circumference measurements as part of an obesity assessment of visceral adiposity. A waist circumference greater than 40 inches for men and greater than 35 inches for women is considered elevated. What are some current lifestyle recommendations for obese patients? Lifestyle recommendations are the first line of defense against obesity.Current ACC/AHA guidelines suggest a target of reducing caloric intake by 500 kcal per day. For patients with severe obesity, this number may be higher.Emphasis on hypocaloric plant-based and Mediterranean dietsReduce total carbohydrate intake to 50-130 grams per day.Focus on a low-fat diet with less than 30% of total energy coming from fat with a high-protein diet to main...

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 “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) episode, Peter explores various pharmacologic tools commonly utilized to improve metabolic health and treat diabetes, including SGLT-2 inhibitors, metformin, and GLP-1 agonists. He examines the available data on these drugs, assessing their comparative effectiveness and their potential in the context of lifestyle interventions. Additionally, he offers insights into whether SGLT2 inhibitors hold promise as geroprotective agents beyond their effects on glycemic control. Next, Peter analyzes the relationship between statin usage and the risk of developing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, investigating possible causal pathways and providing insights into strategies for risk reduction. He offers insights on monitoring adverse statin effects and evaluating the need for adjustments, ultimately weighing the trade-off between the risk to overall metabolic health against the benefits of reducing apoB levels through statin use.

Drive with Dr. Peter Attia Key Takeaways The truth behind longevity research: there's no evidence to think we'll live to 120+ years old – this should motivate us to move the needle to take action to improve our healthspan It's better to live 90 healthy years than 120 years but the poor quality of life the last 20“What I think people should fixate on is how do I not be really, really frail both physically and cognitively in the last decade of my life.” – Dr. Peter AttiaWe have control over whether we can stay physically active, move under our own power, etc.Take Peter's supplement list with a grain of salt – you might not need the same things he takes; ideally, get your bloodwork done regularlyA very low carbohydrate, low saturated fat diet would lower apoB but not to levels that would make ASCVD irrelevant; it's also probably not a sustainable diet“The most important parameter for determining metabolic health is energy balance. Even the most ‘perfect' diet, if it's in excess of energy balance will produce poor metabolic health.” – Dr. Peter AttiaThe most important factor in diet & nutrition is what you can sustainRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.org 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 of The Drive, Peter discusses a variety of topics, breaking away from the typical deep-dive format to explore a wide range of common questions submitted by listeners.
