Candidate germline biomarkers of lenalidomide efficacy in mantle cell lymphoma: the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi MCL0208 trial.

In the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi MCL0208 phase 3 trial, lenalidomide maintenance (LEN) after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) improved progression-free survival (PFS) vs observation (OBS). The host pharmacogenetic background was analyzed to decipher whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes encoding transmembrane transporters, metabolic enzymes, or cell-surface receptors might predict drug efficacy. Genotypes were obtained via real-time polymerase chain reaction of the peripheral blood germ line DNA. Polymorphisms of ABCB1 and VEGF were

Biomarkers of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: Current Status and Future Directions.

Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is an often severe and debilitating complication of multiple chemotherapeutic agents that can affect patients of all ages, across cancer diagnoses. CIPN can persist post-therapy, and significantly impact the health and quality of life of cancer survivors. Identifying patients at risk for CIPN is challenging due to the lack of standardized objective measures to assess for CIPN. Furthermore, there are no approved preventative treatments for CIPN, and therapeutic options for CIPN remain limited once it develops. Biomarkers of CIPN have been studie

Association of genetic variants with patient reported quality of life and pain experience in patients in the UK NCRI Myeloma X Relapse [Intensive]) trial; an exploratory study.

The Myeloma X trial provided a platform to explore genetics in relation to systematic assessment of patient-reported outcomes at key points during salvage treatment in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Blood DNA was obtained in 191 subjects for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping. By univariable analysis, the non-coding rs2562456 SNP, upstream of LINC00664, was associated with several relevant pain and health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) scores at 100 days after allocation to consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation or weekly cyclophosphamide. Presence of the minor

The Three Musketeers in Cancer Therapy: Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Personalised Approach.

Cancer therapy is rapidly evolving from a one-size-fits-all paradigm toward highly personalized approaches. Traditional chemotherapies and radiotherapies, while broadly applied, often yield suboptimal outcomes due to tumor heterogeneity and are limited by significant toxicities. In contrast, precision oncology tailors prevention, diagnosis, and treatment to the individual patient's genetic and molecular profile. Key advancements underscore this shift: molecularly targeted drugs (e.g., trastuzumab for HER2-positive breast cancer, EGFR and ALK inhibitors for lung cancer) have improved efficacy a

This narrative review highlights the improvements in diagnostic applications of kidney disease and briefly discusses a few notable biomarkers emphasizing the high throughput omics technologies, as wel

Emerging Research and Future Directions on Doxorubicin: A Snapshot.

Doxorubicin, a widely used anthracycline antibiotic, has been a cornerstone in cancer chemotherapy since the 1960s. In addition to doxorubicin, anthracycline chemotherapy medications include daunorubicin, idarubicin, and epirubicin. For many years, doxorubicin has been the chemotherapy drug of choice for treating a broad variety of cancers. Despite its efficacy, doxorubicin therapy is hindered by serious side effects, primarily cardiotoxicity, and the challenges of drug resistance. Recent research has focused on optimizing doxorubicin's therapeutic index by developing cardioprotective strategi

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in XMN1-HBG2, HBS1L-MYB, and BCL11A and Their Relation to High Fetal Hemoglobin Levels That Alleviate Anemia.

Anemia is a condition in which red blood cells and/or hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations are decreased below the normal range, resulting in a lack of oxygen being transported to tissues and organs. Those afflicted with this condition may feel lethargic and weak, which reduces their quality of life. The condition may be manifested in inherited blood disorders, such as thalassemia and sickle cell disease, whereas acquired disorders include aplastic anemia, chronic disease, drug toxicity, pregnancy, and nutritional deficiency. The augmentation of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) results in the reduction in cli

Taking Control of Castleman Disease: Leveraging Precision Medicine Technologies to Accelerate Rare Disease Research.

Castleman disease (CD) is a rare and heterogeneous disorder characterized by lymphadenopathy that may occur in a single lymph node (unicentric) or multiple lymph nodes (multicentric), the latter typically occurring secondary to excessive proinflammatory hypercytokinemia. While a cohort of multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) cases are caused by Human Herpes Virus-8 (HHV-8), the etiology of HHV-8 negative, idiopathic MCD (iMCD), remains unknown. Breakthroughs in "omics" technologies that have facilitated the development of precision medicine hold promise for elucidating disease pathogenesis and

Identifying novel genes and biological processes relevant to the development of cancer therapy-induced mucositis: An informative gene network analysis.

Mucositis is a complex, dose-limiting toxicity of chemotherapy or radiotherapy that leads to painful mouth ulcers, difficulty eating or swallowing, gastrointestinal distress, and reduced quality of life for patients with cancer. Mucositis is most common for those undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and for those being treated for malignancies of the head and neck. Treatment and management of mucositis remain challenging. It is expected that multiple genes are involved in the formation, severity, and persistence of mucositis. We used Ingenuity Pathway A

A genetic variant study of bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy in Chinese multiple myeloma patients.

BackgroundBortezomib results in peripheral neuropathy (PN) in approximately 50% of patients, during multiple myeloma (MM) treatment, a complication known as Bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy (BIPN). The drug response varies among individuals. Genetic factor may play an important role in BIPN.MethodsA next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel containing 1659 targets from 233 genes was used to identify risk variants for developing BIPN in 204 MM patients who received bortezomib therapy. mRNA expression of MTHFR and ALDH1A1 in 62 peripheral blood samples was detected by real-time quantitative

Stevens - Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis; Extensive Review of Reports of Drug-Induced Etiologies, and Possible Therapeutic Modalities.

Stevens - Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis are adverse hypersensitivity reactions that affect the skin and mucous membranes. They are characterised by erythematous macules and hemorrhagic erosions of the mucous membranes. Epidermal detachments of varying degrees of severity also occur in these conditions. Various aetiologies are associated with these conditions, with adverse drug reaction being the most common. Though the worldwide incidence of these conditions is recorded as low, diverse types of medication are being observed to lead to these conditions. This review compiles in

Innovative trial approaches in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases: current use and future potential.

BackgroundDespite progress that has been made in the treatment of many immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), there remains a need for improved treatments. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) provide the highest form of evidence on the effectiveness of a potential new treatment regimen, but they are extremely expensive and time consuming to conduct. Consequently, much focus has been given in recent years to innovative design and analysis methods that could improve the efficiency of RCTs. In this article, we review the current use and future potential of these methods within the context

Aspects of vincristine-induced neuropathy in hematologic malignancies: a systematic review.

PurposeVincristine is widely used as anticancer therapy for a variety of hematological malignancies. The treatment is limited by progressive vincristine-induced neuropathy, possibly including both peripheral sensory and motor nerves, autonomic nervous functions, and the central nervous system. This dose-limiting side-effect can diminish quality of life and, furthermore, cause discontinuation of vincristine treatment. The present review elucidates the current knowledge regarding vincristine-induced neuropathy in hematologic malignancies, focusing on neuropathy assessment, clinical and molecular

Zebrafish Avatars towards Personalized Medicine-A Comparative Review between Avatar Models.

Cancer frequency and prevalence have been increasing in the past decades, with devastating impacts on patients and their families. Despite the great advances in targeted approaches, there is still a lack of methods to predict individual patient responses, and therefore treatments are tailored according to average response rates. "Omics" approaches are used for patient stratification and choice of therapeutic options towards a more precise medicine. These methods, however, do not consider all genetic and non-genetic dynamic interactions that occur upon drug treatment. Therefore, the need to dir
