Abstract
Pediatric-type high-grade gliomas frequently harbor gene fusions involving receptor tyrosine kinase genes, including neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor (NTRK) fusions. Clinically, these tumors show high initial response rates to tyrosine kinase inhibition but ultimately recur due to the accumulation of additional resistance-conferring mutations. Here, we developed a series of genetically engineered mouse models of treatment-naïve and -experienced NTRK1/2/3 fusion-driven gliomas. Both the TRK kinase domain and the N-terminal fusion partners influenced tumor histology and aggressiveness. Treatment with TRK kinase inhibitors significantly extended survival of NTRK fusion-driven glioma mice in a fusion- and inhibitor-dependent manner, but tumors ultimately recurred due to the presence of treatment-resistant persister cells. Finally, we show that ERK activation promotes resistance to TRK kinase inhibition and identify MEK inhibition as a potential combination therapy. These models will be invaluable tools for preclinical testing of novel inhibitors and to study the cellular responses of NTRK fusion-driven gliomas to therapy.

Abstract
Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a soft tissue tumour of intermediate (rarely metastasising) malignant potential, which harbours EWSR1/FUS gene fusions. These tumours can express anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) in the absence of gene rearrangement or copy number alteration and can also coexpresses Pan-TRK immunohistochemistry (IHC). All EWSR1/FUS-rearranged AFH were retrieved from the files of three institutions and Pan-TRK (EPR17341), ALK and BRAF V600E IHC were performed. Fourteen AFH cases were identified, which included three cases of intracranial mesenchymal tumours with FET-CREB fusions. PanTRK and ALK positive immunostaining was identified in 9 (64.2%) and 12 (85.7%) cases, respectively. No NTRK or ALK translocations or increased copy number/amplification were identified in all eight cases which had fluorescence in situ hybridisation and/or next generation sequencing for NTRK1-3 and ALK available for assessment. None of the cases expressed BRAF-V600E.Although our study is limited, our report is the first to document PanTRK expression in AFH in the absence of identifiable NTRK1-3 gene alterations.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is highly effective for treating blood cancers such as B-cell malignancies, however, its effectiveness as an approach to treat solid tumors remains to be further explored. Here, we focused on the development of CAR-T cell therapies targeting tropomyosin-related kinase receptor B (TRKB), a highly expressed protein that is significantly associated with tumor progression, malignancy, and drug resistance in multiple forms of aggressive solid tumors. To achieve this, we screened brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin 4 (NTF4) ligand-based CAR-T cells for their efficiency in targeting the TRKB receptor in the context of solid tumors, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma and pancreatic cancer. We demonstrated that TRKB is overexpressed not only in hepatocellular carcinoma and pancreatic carcinoma cell lines but also in cancer stem-like cells (CSCs). Notably, BDNF-CAR T and NTF4-CAR T cells could not only effectively target and kill TRKB-expressing pan-cancer cell lines in a dose-dependent manner but also effectively kill CSCs. We also performed in vivo studies to show that NTF4-CAR T cells have a better potential to inhibit the tumor growth of hepatocellular carcinoma xenografts in mice, compared with BDNF-CAR T cells. Taken together, our findings suggest that CAR-T targeting TRKB may be a promising approach for developing novel therapies to treat solid cancers.

Abstract
Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) are generally benign but comprise an aggressive, invasive, therapy-resistant, metastatic subset, underpinning a need for novel therapeutic targets. PitNETs exhibit low mutation rates but are associated with conditions linked to alternative splicing, an alternative oncogene pathway activation mechanism. PitNETs express the neurotrophin receptor TrkA, which exhibits oncogenic alternative TrkAIII splicing in other neuroendocrine tumors. We, therefore, assessed whether TrkAIII splicing represents a potential oncogenic participant in PitNETs. TrkAIII splicing was RT-PCR assessed in 53 PitNETs and TrkA isoform(s) expression and activation were assessed by confocal immunofluorescence. TrkAIII splicing was also compared to HIF1α, HIF2α, SF3B1, SRSF2, U2AF1, and JCPyV large T antigen mRNA expression, Xbp1 splicing, and SF3B1 mutation. TrkAIII splicing was detected in all invasive and most non-invasive PitNETs and was significantly elevated in invasive cases. In PitNET lineages, TrkAIII splicing was significantly elevated in invasive PIT1 PitNETs and high in invasive and non-invasive SF1 and TPIT lineages. Immunoreactivity consistent with TrkAIII activation characterized PitNET expressing TrkAIII mRNA, and invasive Pit1 PitNETs exhibited elevated HIF2α expression. TrkAIII splicing did not associate with SF3B1 mutations, altered SF3B1, SRSF2, and U2AF1 or JCPyV large T antigen expression, or Xbp1 splicing. Therefore, TrkAIII splicing is common in PitNETs, is elevated in invasive, especially PIT1 tumors, can result in intracellular TrkAIII activation, and may involve hypoxia. The data support a role for TrkAIII splicing in PitNET pathogenesis and progression and identify TrkAIII as a novel potential target in refractory PitNETs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioneuronal tumors (GNTs) comprise a rare class of central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms with varying degrees of neuronal and glial differentiation that predominately affect children and young adults. Within the current 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of CNS tumors, GNTs encompass 14 distinct tumor types. Recently, the use of whole-genome DNA methylation profiling has allowed more precise classification of this tumor group. OBSERVATIONS A 3-year-old male presented with a 3-month history of increasing head circumference, regression of developmental milestones, and speech delay. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was notable for a large left hemispheric multiseptated mass with significant mass effect and midline shift that was treated with near-total resection. Histological and molecular assessment demonstrated a glioneuronal tumor harboring an MYO5A::NTRK3 fusion. By DNA methylation profiling, this tumor matched to a provisional methylation class known as "glioneuronal tumor kinase-fused" (GNT kinase-fused). The patient was later started on targeted therapy with larotrectinib. LESSONS This is the first report of an MYO5A::NTRK3 fusion in a pediatric GNT. GNT kinase-fused is a provisional methylation class not currently included in the WHO classification of CNS tumors. This case highlights the impact of thorough molecular characterization of CNS tumors, especially with the increasing availability of novel gene targeting therapies.

Abstract
Tumours of the gastrointestinal tract represent nearly a quarter of all newly diagnosed tumours diagnosed in 2019. Various treatment modalities for gastrointestinal cancers exist, some of which may be guided by biomarkers. Biomarkers act as gauges of either normal or pathogenic processes or responses to an exposure or intervention. They come in many forms. This review explores established and potential molecular/immunohistochemical (IHC) predictive and prognostic biomarkers of the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— The neurotrophic tropomyosin receptor kinase (NTRK) family gene rearrangements have been recently incorporated as predictive biomarkers in a "tumor-agnostic" manner. However, the identification of these patients is extremely challenging because the overall frequency of NTRK fusions is below 1%. Academic groups and professional organizations have released recommendations on the algorithms to detect NTRK fusions. The European Society for Medical Oncology proposal encourages the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) if available, or alternatively immunohistochemistry (IHC) could be used for screening with NGS confirmation of all positive IHC results. Other academic groups have included histologic and genomic information in the testing algorithm. OBJECTIVE.— To apply some of these triaging strategies for a more efficient identification of NTRK fusions within a single institution, so pathologists can gain practical insight on how to start looking for NTRK fusions. DESIGN.— A multiparametric strategy combining histologic (secretory carcinomas of the breast and salivary gland; papillary thyroid carcinomas; infantile fibrosarcoma) and genomic (driver-negative non-small cell lung carcinomas, microsatellite instability-high colorectal adenocarcinomas, and wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumors) triaging was put forward. RESULTS.— Samples from 323 tumors were stained with the VENTANA pan-TRK EPR17341 Assay as a screening method. All positive IHC cases were simultaneously studied by 2 NGS tests, Oncomine Comprehensive Assay v3 and FoundationOne CDx. With this approach, the detection rate of NTRK fusions was 20 times higher (5.57%) by only screening 323 patients than the largest cohort in the literature (0.30%) comprising several hundred thousand patients. CONCLUSIONS.— Based on our findings, we propose a multiparametric strategy (ie, "supervised tumor-agnostic approach") when pathologists start searching for NTRK fusions.

Abstract
Salivary Gland carcinomas (SGCs) are rare tumors accounting for less than 1% of all cancers with 21 histologically diverse subtypes. The rarity of the disease presents a challenge for clinicians to conduct large size randomized controlled trials. Surgery and radiotherapy remain the only curative treatment for localized disease, whereas treatments for recurrent and metastatic disease remain more challenging with very disappointing results for chemotherapy. The different histological subtypes harbor various genetic alterations, some pathognomonic with a diagnostic impact for pathologists in confirming a difficult diagnosis and others with therapeutic implications regardless of the histologic subtype. Current international guidelines urge pathologists to identify androgen receptor status, HER-2 expression that could be determined by immunohistochemistry, and TRK status in patients with non-adenoid cystic salivary gland carcinoma that are eligible to initiate a systemic treatment, in order to offer them available targeted therapies or refer them to clinical trials based on their mutational profile. A more advanced molecular profiling by next generation sequencing would offer a larger panel of molecular alterations with possible therapeutic implications such as NOTCH, PI3K, BRAF, MYB, and EGFR. In the following review, we present the most common genetic alterations in SGCs as well as actionable mutations with the latest available data on therapeutic options and upcoming clinical trials.

BACKGROUND Approximately 1% of clinically treatable tyrosine kinase fusions, including anaplastic lymphoma kinase, neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase, RET proto-oncogene, and ROS proto-oncogene 1, have been identified in soft tissue sarcomas via comprehensive genome profiling based on DNA sequencing. Histologic tumor-specific fusion genes have been reported in approximately 20% of soft tissue sarcomas; however, unlike tyrosine kinase fusion genes, these fusions cannot be directly targeted in therapy. Approximately 80% of tumor-specific fusion-negative sarcomas, including myxofibrosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma, that are defined in complex karyotype sarcomas remain genetically uncharacterized; this mutually exclusive pattern of mutations suggests that other mutually exclusive driver oncogenes are yet to be discovered. Tumor-specific, fusion-negative sarcomas may be associated with unique translocations, and oncogenic fusion genes, including tyrosine kinase fusions, may have been overlooked in these sarcomas. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) Can DNA- or RNA-based analysis reveal any characteristic gene alterations in bone and soft tissue sarcomas? (2) Can useful and potential tyrosine kinase fusions in tumors from tumor-specific, fusion-negative sarcomas be detected using an RNA-based screening system? (3) Do the identified potential fusion tumors, especially in neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase gene fusions in bone sarcoma, transform cells and respond to targeted drug treatment in in vitro assays? (4) Can the identified tyrosine kinase fusion genes in sarcomas be useful therapeutic targets? METHODS Between 2017 and 2020, we treated 100 patients for bone and soft tissue sarcomas at five institutions. Any biopsy or surgery from which a specimen could be obtained was included as potentially eligible. Ninety percent (90 patients) of patients were eligible; a further 8% (8 patients) were excluded because they were either lost to follow-up or their diagnosis was changed, leaving 82% (82 patients) for analysis here. To answer our first and second questions regarding gene alterations and potential tyrosine kinase fusions in eight bone and 74 soft tissue sarcomas, we used the TruSight Tumor 170 assay to detect mutations, copy number variations, and gene fusions in the samples. To answer our third question, we performed functional analyses involving in vitro assays to determine whether the identified tyrosine kinase fusions were associated with oncogenic abilities and drug responses. Finally, to determine usefulness as therapeutic targets, two pediatric patients harboring an NTRK fusion and an ALK fusion were treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors in clinical trials. RESULTS DNA/RNA-based analysis demonstrated characteristic alterations in bone and soft tissue sarcomas; DNA-based analyses detected TP53 and copy number alterations of MDM2 and CDK4 . These single-nucleotide variants and copy number variations were enriched in specific fusion-negative sarcomas. RNA-based screening detected fusion genes in 24% (20 of 82) of patients. Useful potential fusions were detected in 19% (11 of 58) of tumor-specific fusion-negative sarcomas, with nine of these patients harboring tyrosine kinase fusion genes; five of these patients had in-frame tyrosine kinase fusion genes ( STRN3-NTRK3, VWC2-EGFR, ICK-KDR, FOXP2-MET , and CEP290-MET ) with unknown pathologic significance. The functional analysis revealed that STRN3-NTRK3 rearrangement that was identified in bone had a strong transforming potential in 3T3 cells, and that STRN3-NTRK3 -positive cells were sensitive to larotrectinib in vitro. To confirm the usefulness of identified tyrosine kinase fusion genes as therapeutic targets, patients with well-characterized LMNA-NTRK1 and CLTC-ALK fusions were treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors in clinical trials, and a complete response was achieved. CONCLUSION We identified useful potential therapeutic targets for tyrosine kinase fusions in bone and soft tissue sarcomas using RNA-based analysis. We successfully identified STRN3-NTRK3 fusion in a patient with leiomyosarcoma of bone and determined the malignant potential of this fusion gene via functional analyses and drug effects. In light of these discoveries, comprehensive genome profiling should be considered even if the sarcoma is a bone sarcoma. There seem to be some limitations regarding current DNA-based comprehensive genome profiling tests, and it is important to use RNA testing for proper diagnosis and accurate identification of fusion genes. Studies on more patients, validation of results, and further functional analysis of unknown tyrosine kinase fusion genes are required to establish future treatments. CLINICAL RELEVANCE DNA- and RNA-based screening systems may be useful for detecting tyrosine kinase fusion genes in specific fusion-negative sarcomas and identifying key therapeutic targets, leading to possible breakthroughs in the treatment of bone and soft tissue sarcomas. Given that current DNA sequencing misses fusion genes, RNA-based screening systems should be widely considered as a worldwide test for sarcoma. If standard treatments such as chemotherapy are not effective, or even if the sarcoma is of bone, RNA sequencing should be considered to identify as many therapeutic targets as possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thyroid cancer is a leading endocrine malignancy, with anaplastic and medullary subtypes posing treatment challenges. Existing therapies have limited efficacy, highlighting a need for innovative approaches. METHODS We analyzed 658 articles and 87 eligible clinical trials using bibliometric tools and database searches, including annual publication and citation trends, were executed using Web of Science, CiteSpace, and VOS Viewer. RESULTS Post-2018, there is a surge in thyroid cancer immunotherapy research, primarily from China and the University of Pisa. Of the 87 trials, 32 were Phase I and 55 were Phase II, mostly exploring combination therapies involving immune checkpoint inhibitors. CONCLUSION The study's dual approach verifies the swift advancement of thyroid cancer immunotherapy from diverse perspectives. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have become the preferred regimen for advanced MTC and ATC in late therapeutic lines. However, since ICB plays a pivotal role in ATC, current clinical trial data show that ATC patients account for more and the curative effect is more accurate. Anticipated future developments are inclined toward combination regimens integrating immunotherapy with chemotherapy or targeted therapies. Emerging approaches, such as bispecific antibodies, cytokine-based therapies, and adoptive cell therapies like CAR-T and TCR-T, are exhibiting considerable potential. Upcoming research is expected to concentrate on refining the tumor immune milieu and discovering novel biomarkers germane to immunotherapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Methods utilized for drug discovery and development within the kinome have rapidly evolved since the approval of imatinib, the first small molecule kinase inhibitor. Macrocycles have received increasing interest as a technique to improve kinase inhibitor drug properties evident by the FDA approvals of lorlatinib, pacritinib, and repotrectinib. Compared to their acyclic counterparts, macrocycles can possess improved pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties. This review highlights clinical success stories when implementing macrocycles in kinase-based drug discovery and showcases that macrocyclization is a clinically validated drug discovery strategy when targeting the kinome.

Abstract
Neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) has been a remarkable therapeutic target for treating different malignancies, playing an essential role in oncogenic signaling pathways. Groundbreaking trials like NAVIGATE led to the approval of NTRK inhibitors by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat different malignancies, significantly impacting current oncology treatment. Accurate detection of NTRK gene fusion becomes very important for possible targeted therapy. Various methods to detect NTRK gene fusion have been applied widely based on sensitivity, specificity, and accessibility. The utility of different tests in clinical practice is discussed in this study by providing insights into their effectiveness in targeting patients who may benefit from therapy. Widespread use of NTRK inhibitors in different malignancies could remain limited due to resistance mechanisms that cause challenges to medication efficacy in addition to common side effects of the medications. This review provides a succinct overview of the application of NTRK inhibitors in various types of cancer by emphasizing the critical clinical significance of NTRK fusion gene detection. The discussion also provides a solid foundation for understanding the current challenges and potential changes for improving the efficacy of NTRK inhibitor therapy to treat different malignancies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intratumoral nerve infiltration relates to tumor progression and poor survival in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). How neural involvement regulates antitumor immunity has not been well characterized. This study aims to investigate molecular mechanisms of regulating tumor aggressiveness and impairing antitumor immunity by nerve-derived factors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We performed the surgical lingual denervation in an immunocompetent mouse OSCC model to investigate its effect on tumor growth and the efficacy of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. A trigeminal ganglion neuron and OSCC cell coculture system was established to investigate the proliferation, migration, and invasion of tumor cells and the PD-L1 expression. Both the neuron-tumor cell coculture in vitro model and the OSCC animal model were explored. RESULTS Lingual denervation slowed down tumor growth and improved the efficacy of anti-PD-1 treatment in the OSCC model. Coculturing with neurons not only enhanced the proliferation, migration, and invasion but also upregulated TGFβ-SMAD2 signaling and PD-L1 expression of tumor cells. Treatment with the TGFβ signaling inhibitor galunisertib reversed nerve-derived tumor aggressiveness and downregulated PD-L1 on tumor cells. Similarly, lingual denervation in vivo decreased TGFβ and PD-L1 expression and increased CD8+ T-cell infiltration and the expression of IFNγ and TNFα within tumor. CONCLUSIONS Neural involvement enhanced tumor aggressiveness through upregulating TGFβ signaling and PD-L1 expression in OSCC, while denervation of OSCC inhibited tumor growth, downregulated TGFβ signaling, enhanced activities of CD8+ T cells, and improved the efficacy of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. This study will encourage further research focusing on denervation as a potential adjuvant therapeutic approach in OSCC. SIGNIFICANCE This study revealed the specific mechanisms for nerve-derived cancer progression and impaired antitumor immunity in OSCC, providing a novel insight into the cancer-neuron-immune network as well as pointing the way for new strategies targeting nerve-cancer cross-talk as a potential adjuvant therapeutic approach for OSCC.

Abstract
Lung cancer ranks among the most common cancers world-wide and is the first cancer-related cause of death. The classification of lung cancer has evolved tremendously over the past two decades. Today, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly lung adenocarcinoma, comprises a multitude of molecular oncogenic subsets that change both the prognosis and management of disease.Since the first targeted oncogenic alteration identified in 2004, with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), there has been unprecedented progress in identifying and targeting new molecular alterations. Almost two decades of experience have allowed scientists to elucidate the biological function of oncogenic drivers and understand and often overcome the molecular basis of acquired resistance mechanisms. Today, targetable molecular alterations are identified in approximately 60% of lung adenocarcinoma patients in Western populations and 80% among Asian populations. Oncogenic drivers are largely enriched among non-smokers, east Asians, and younger patients, though each alteration has its own patient phenotype.The current landscape of druggable molecular targets includes EGFR, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B (BRAF), ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1), Kirstin rat sarcoma virus (KRAS), human epidermal receptor 2 (HER2), c-MET proto-oncogene (MET), neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK), rearranged during transfection (RET), neuregulin 1 (NRG1). In addition to these known targets, others including Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K) and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) have garnered significant attention and are the subject of numerous ongoing trials.In this era of personalized, precision medicine, it is of paramount importance to identify known or potential oncogenic drivers in each patient. The development of targeted therapy is mirrored by diagnostic progress. Next generation sequencing offers high-throughput, speed and breadth to identify molecular alterations in entire genomes or targeted regions of DNA or RNA. It is the basis for the identification of the majority of current druggable alterations and offers a unique window into novel alterations, and de novo and acquired resistance mechanisms.In this review, we discuss the diagnostic approach in advanced NSCLC, focusing on current oncogenic driver alterations, through their pathophysiology, management, and future perspectives. We also explore the shortcomings and hurdles encountered in this rapidly evolving field.

Abstract
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is responsible for the highest number of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Thankfully, advancements in the detection and targeting of gene mutations have greatly improved outcomes for many patients. One significant mutation driving oncogenesis in various cancers, including NSCLC, is the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) fusion. Presently, larotrectinib and entrectinib are the only FDA-approved therapies for NTRK-mutated cancers. Despite the efficacy and tolerability exhibited by these therapies, several clinical hurdles persist for physicians, including resistance mutations and limited penetration of the central nervous system (CNS), which diminishes their effectiveness. The treatment landscape for NTRK cancers is still being explored, with numerous new tyrosine kinase inhibitors currently in development or undergoing phase 1 and 2 clinical trials. In this review, we delve into both established and novel therapies targeting NTRK-mutated NSCLC.

Abstract
Melanoma cells, deriving from neuroectodermal melanocytes, may exploit the nervous system's immune privilege for growth. Here we show that nerve growth factor (NGF) has both melanoma cell intrinsic and extrinsic immunosuppressive functions. Autocrine NGF engages tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) on melanoma cells to desensitize interferon γ signaling, leading to T and natural killer cell exclusion. In effector T cells that upregulate surface TrkA expression upon T cell receptor activation, paracrine NGF dampens T cell receptor signaling and effector function. Inhibiting NGF, either through genetic modification or with the tropomyosin receptor kinase inhibitor larotrectinib, renders melanomas susceptible to immune checkpoint blockade therapy and fosters long-term immunity by activating memory T cells with low affinity. These results identify the NGF-TrkA axis as an important suppressor of anti-tumor immunity and suggest larotrectinib might be repurposed for immune sensitization. Moreover, by enlisting low-affinity T cells, anti-NGF reduces acquired resistance to immune checkpoint blockade and prevents melanoma recurrence.

Abstract
Medical oncology is rapidly evolving with the implementation of personalized, targeted therapies. Advances in molecular diagnostics and the biologic understanding of cancer pathophysiology led to the identification of specific genetic alterations as drivers of cancer progression. Further, improvements in drug development enable the direct interference with these pathways, which allow tailoring personalized treatments based on a distinct molecular characterization of tumors. Thereby, we are currently experiencing a paradigm-shift in the treatment of cancers towards cancer-type agnostic, molecularly targeted, personalized therapies. However, this concept has several important hurdles and limitations to overcome to ultimately increase the proportion of patients benefitting from the precision oncology approach. These include the assessment of clinical relevancy of identified alterations, capturing and interpreting levels of heterogeneity based on intra-tumoral or time-dependent molecular evolution, and challenges in the practical implementation of precision oncology in routine clinical care. In the present review, we summarize the current state of cancer-agnostic precision oncology, discuss the concept of molecular tumor boards, and consider current limitations of personalized cancer therapy. Further, we provide an outlook towards potential future developments including the implementation of functionality assessments of identified genetic alterations and the broader use of liquid biopsies in order to obtain more comprehensive and longitudinal genetic information that might guide personalized cancer therapy in the future.

Lung Cancer 2024; 188:107469. [PMID: 38219288 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2024.107469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Neuregulin-1 (NRG1) fusions may drive oncogenesis via constitutive activation of ErbB signaling. Hence, NRG1 fusion-driven tumors may be susceptible to ErbB-targeted therapy. Afatinib (irreversible pan-ErbB inhibitor) has demonstrated activity in individual patients with NRG1 fusion-positive solid tumors. This study collected real-world data on demographics, clinical characteristics, and clinical outcomes in this patient population. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective, multicenter, non-comparative cohort study, physicians in the US-based Cardinal Health Oncology Provider Extended Network collected data from medical records of patients with NRG1 fusion-positive solid tumors who received afatinib (afatinib cohort) or other systemic therapies (non-afatinib cohort) in any therapy line. Objectives included demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes (overall response rate [ORR], progression-free survival [PFS], and overall survival [OS]). RESULTS Patients (N = 110) with a variety of solid tumor types were included; 72 received afatinib, 38 other therapies. In the afatinib cohort, 70.8 % of patients received afatinib as second-line treatment and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) was 2-4 in 69.4 % at baseline. In the non-afatinib cohort, 94.7 % of patients received systemic therapy as first-line treatment and ECOG PS was 2-4 in 31.6 % at baseline. In the afatinib cohort, ORR was 37.5 % overall (43.8 % when received as first-line therapy); median PFS and OS were 5.5 and 7.2 months, respectively. In the non-afatinib cohort, ORR was 76.3 %; median PFS and OS were 12.9 and 22.6 months, respectively. CONCLUSION This study provides real-world data on the characteristics of patients with NRG1 fusion-positive solid tumors treated with afatinib or other therapies; durable responses were observed in both groups. However, there were imbalances between the cohorts, and the study was not designed to compare outcomes. Further prospective/retrospective trials are required.

Abstract
REV7 is a multifunctional protein implicated in various biological processes, including DNA damage response. REV7 expression in human cancer cells affects their sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents. In the present study, we investigated the significance of REV7 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). REV7 expression was immunohistochemically examined in 92 resected PDAC specimens and 60 endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNAB) specimens of unresectable PDAC treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, and its association with clinicopathologic features was analyzed. Although REV7 expression was not significantly associated with the progression of primary tumors (T-factor and Stage) in either resected or unresectable PDAC, decreased levels of REV7 expression in EUS-FNAB specimens of unresectable PDAC were significantly associated with better outcomes of platinum-based chemotherapy and a favorable prognosis. REV7-deficient PDAC cell lines showed suppressed cell growth and enhanced sensitivity to cisplatin in vitro. Tumor-bearing mice generated using REV7-deficient PDAC cell lines also showed enhanced sensitivity to cisplatin in vivo. RNA sequencing analysis using WT and REV7-deficient PDAC cell lines revealed that REV7 inactivation promoted the downregulation of genes involved in the DNA repair and the upregulation of genes involved in apoptosis. Our results indicate that decreased expression of REV7 is associated with better outcomes of platinum-based chemotherapy in PDAC by suppressing the DNA damage response. It is also suggested that REV7 is a useful biomarker for predicting the outcome of platinum-based chemotherapy and the prognosis of unresectable PDAC and is a potential target for PDAC treatment.

Abstract
Classification of head and neck tumors has evolved in recent decades including a widespread application of molecular testing in tumors of the salivary glands, sinonasal tract, oropharynx, nasopharynx, and soft tissue. Availability of new molecular techniques allowed for the definition of multiple novel tumor types unique to head and neck sites. Moreover, the expanding spectrum of immunohistochemical markers facilitates a rapid identification of diagnostic molecular abnormalities. As such, it is currently possible for head and neck pathologists to benefit from a molecularly defined classifications, while making diagnoses that are still based largely on histopathology and immunohistochemistry. This review highlights some principal molecular alterations in head and neck neoplasms presently available to assist pathologists in the practice of diagnosis, prognostication and prediction of response to treatment.

Abstract
Neurotrophic receptor kinase (NTRK) fusions are actionable oncogenic drivers of multiple pediatric and adult solid tumors, and tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) has been considered as an attractive therapeutic target for "pan-cancer" harboring these fusions. Currently, two generations TRK inhibitors have been developed. The representative second-generation inhibitors selitrectinib and repotrectinib were designed to overcome clinic acquired resistance of the first-generation inhibitors larotrectinib or entrectinib resulted from solvent-front and gatekeeper on-target mutations. However, xDFG (TRKAG667C/A/S, homologous TRKCG696C/A/S) and some double mutations still confer resistance to selitrectinib and repotrectinib, and overcoming these resistances represents a major unmet clinical need. In this review, we summarize the acquired resistance mechanism of the first- and second-generation TRK inhibitors, and firstly put forward the emerging selective type II TRK inhibitors to overcome xDFG mutations mediated resistance. Additionally, we concluded our perspectives on new challenges and future directions in this field.

Abstract
Tropomyosin receptor kinases (TRKs), the superfamily of transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases, have recently become an attractive method for precision anticancer therapies since the approval of Larotrectinib and Entrectinib by FDA. Herein, we reported the discovery of a series of novel indazolylaminoquinazoline and indazolylaminoindazole as TRK inhibitors. The representative compound 30f exhibited good inhibitory activity against TRKWT, TRKG595R and TRKG667C with IC50 values of 0.55 nM, 25.1 nM and 5.4 nM, respectively. The compound also demonstrated potent superior to Larotrectinib antiproliferative activity against a panel of Ba/F3 cell lines transformed with both NTRK wild type and mutant fusions (IC50 = 10-200 nM). In addition, compound 30f exhibited good in vitro metabolic stability (T1/2 = 73.0 min), indicating that the quinazoline derivatives may have better metabolic stability. Finally, the binding mode of compound 30f predicted by molecular docking well explained the good enzyme inhibitory activity of indazolylaminoquinazoline compounds as TRK inhibitor. Thus, compound 30f can be used as a promising lead molecule for further structural optimization.

Abstract
Background Epidemiological investigations suggest that patients with heart failure have a higher incidence of cancer; however, the causal role of cardiac disease on cancer progression remains unclear. Objectives This study aimed to investigate the impact and underlying mechanisms of myocardial infarction (MI)-induced heart failure on tumor cell growth. Methods We generated a syngeneic mouse model by implanting mammary tumor-derived 4T1 cells into BALB/c mice with MI resulting from ligation of the left anterior descending artery. Results Mice with MI exhibited increased tumor volume, tumor weight, and Ki67-positive proliferative cells in the tumor tissue compared with the sham-operated mice. Furthermore, RNA sequencing analysis in the tumor tissue revealed significant enrichment of pathways related to tumor progression, particularly the PI3K-AKT pathway in the MI mice. Upregulation of tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TRKA) phosphorylation, an upstream regulator of PI3K-AKT signaling, was observed in the tumor tissue of the MI mice. We also observed elevated levels of circulating nerve growth factor (NGF), a ligand of TRKA, and increased NGF expressions in the myocardium after MI. In in vitro experiments, NGF stimulation led to increased cell proliferation, as well as phosphorylation of TRKA and AKT. Notably, inhibition of TRKA by small interfering RNA or the chemical inhibitor GW441756 effectively blocked these effects. Administration of GW441756 resulted in the suppression of tumor volume and cell proliferation in the MI mice. Conclusions Our study demonstrates that MI promotes mammary tumor growth through the NGF-TRKA pathway. Consequently, inhibiting TRKA could represent a therapeutic strategy for breast cancer patients concurrently experiencing heart failure after MI.

Cui Z, Zhai Z, Xie D, Wang L, Cheng F, Lou S, Zou F, Pan R, Chang S, Yao H, She J, Zhang Y, Yang X. From genomic spectrum of NTRK genes to adverse effects of its inhibitors, a comprehensive genome-based and real-world pharmacovigilance analysis. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1329409. [PMID: 38357305 PMCID: PMC10864613 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1329409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction: The discovery of neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusions has facilitated the development of precision oncology. Two first-generation NTRK inhibitors (larotrectinib and entrectinib) are currently approved for the treatment of patients with solid tumors harboring NTRK gene fusions. Nevertheless, comprehensive NTRK profiling at the pan-cancer genomic level and real-world studies pertaining to the adverse events of NTRK inhibitors are lacking. Methods: We characterize the genome of NTRK at the pan-cancer level through multi-omics databases such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Through the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database, we collect reports of entrectinib and larotrectinib-induced adverse events and perform a pharmacovigilance analysis using various disproportionality methods. Results: NTRK1/2/3 expression is lower in most tumor tissues, while they have higher methylation levels. NTRK gene expression has prognostic value in some cancer types, such as breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA). The cancer type with highest NTRK alteration frequency is skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) (31.98%). Thyroid carcinoma (THCA) has the largest number of NTRK fusion cases, and the most common fusion pair is ETV6-NTRK3. Adverse drug events (ADEs) obtained from the FAERS database for larotrectinib and entrectinib are 524 and 563, respectively. At the System Organ Class (SOC) level, both drugs have positive signal value for "nervous system disorder". Other positive signals for entrectinib include "cardiac disorders", "metabolism and nutrition disorders", while for larotrectinib, it is "hepatobiliary disorders". The unexpected signals are also listed in detail. ADEs of the two NTRK inhibitors mainly occur in the first month. The median onset time of ADEs for entrectinib and larotrectinib was 16 days (interquartile range [IQR] 6-86.5) and 44 days ([IQR] 7-136), respectively. Conclusion: Our analysis provides a broad molecular view of the NTRK family. The real-world adverse drug event analysis of entrectinib and larotrectinib contributes to more refined medication management.

Abstract
Tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) fusion, an oncogenic form of kinase with pan-tumor occurrence, is a clinically validated important antitumor target. In this study, we screened our in-house kinase inhibitor library against TRK and identified a promising hit compound 4 with a novel pyridin-2(1H)-one scaffold. Through a combination of structure-based drug design and structure-activity relationship (SAR) study, compound 14q was identified as a potent TRK inhibitor with good kinase selectivity. It also blocked cellular TRK signaling, thereby inhibiting TRK-dependent cell viability. Additionally, 14q displayed acceptable pharmacokinetic properties with 37.8% oral bioavailability in mice. Strong in vivo tumor growth inhibition of 14q was observed in subcutaneous M091 and KM12 tumor xenograft models with TRK fusion, causing significant tumor inhibition or even complete tumor regression.

Abstract
Nerve growth factor (NGF) plays a dual role both in inflammatory states and cancer, acting both as a pro-inflammatory and oncogenic factor and as an anti-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic mediator in a context-dependent way based on the signaling networks and its interaction with diverse cellular components within the microenvironment. This report aims to provide a summary and subsequent review of the literature on the role of NGF in regulating the inflammatory microenvironment and tumor cell growth, survival, and death. The role of NGF in inflammation and tumorigenesis as a component of the inflammatory system, its interaction with the various components of the respective microenvironments, its ability to cause epigenetic changes, and its role in the treatment of cancer have been highlighted in this paper.

Abstract
Tropomyosin receptor kinases (TRK) are attractive targets for cancer therapy. As TRK-inhibitors are approved for all solid cancers with detectable fusions involving the Neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK)-genes, there has been an increased interest in optimizing testing regimes. In this project, we wanted to find the prevalence of NTRK fusions in a cohort of various histopathological types of early-stage lung cancer in Norway and to investigate the association between TRK protein expression and specific histopathological types, including their molecular and epidemiological characteristics. We used immunohistochemistry (IHC) as a screening tool for TRK expression, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) as confirmatory tests for underlying NTRK-fusion. Among 940 cases, 43 (4.6%) had positive TRK IHC, but in none of these could a NTRK fusion be confirmed by NGS or FISH. IHC-positive cases showed various staining intensities and patterns including cytoplasmatic or nuclear staining. IHC-positivity was more common in squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) (10.3%) and adenoid cystic carcinoma (40.0%), where the majority showed heterogeneous staining intensity. In comparison, only 1.1% of the adenocarcinomas were positive. IHC-positivity was also more common in men, but this association could be explained by the dominance of LUSC in TRK IHC-positive cases. Protein expression was not associated with differences in time to relapse or overall survival. Our study indicates that NTRK fusion is rare in early-stage lung cancer. Due to the high level of false positive cases with IHC, Pan-TRK IHC is less suited as a screening tool for NTRK-fusions in LUSC and adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal neoplasms worldwide; it is aggressive in nature and has a poor prognosis. The overall survival rate for pancreatic cancer is low. Most patients present non-specific symptoms in the advanced stages, which generally leads to late diagnosis, at which point there is no option for curative surgery. The treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer includes systemic therapy, in some cases radiotherapy, and more recently, molecular targeted therapies, which can positively impact cancer control and improve quality of life. This review provides an overview of the molecular landscape of pancreatic cancer based on the most recent literature, as well as current treatment options for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate clinical structural variant (SV) calling is essential for cancer target identification and diagnosis but has been historically challenging due to the lack of ground truth for clinical specimens. Meanwhile, reduced clinical-testing cost is the key to the widespread clinical utility. METHODS We analyzed massive data from tumor samples of 476 patients and developed a computational framework for accurate and cost-effective detection of clinically-relevant SVs. In addition, standard materials and classical experiments including immunohistochemistry and/or fluorescence in situ hybridization were used to validate the developed computational framework. RESULTS We systematically evaluated the common algorithms for SV detection and established an expert-reviewed SV call set of 1,303 tumor-specific SVs with high-evidence levels. Moreover, we developed a random-forest-based decision model to improve the true positive of SVs. To independently validate the tailored 'two-step' strategy, we utilized standard materials and classical experiments. The accuracy of the model was over 90% (92-99.78%) for all types of data. CONCLUSION Our study provides a valuable resource and an actionable guide to improve cancer-specific SV detection accuracy and clinical applicability.

Abstract
Tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) is a promising target for treating NTRK fusion cancers. The solvent front and xDFG mutations induced by larotrectinib and entrectinib result in acquired resistance in advanced-stage patients. In this study, we report a highly potent and selective type II TRK inhibitor, 40l, developed using a structure-based design strategy. Compound 40l significantly suppressed Km-12, Ba/F3-TRKAG595R, and Ba/F3-TRKAG667C cell proliferation. In biochemical and cellular assays, 40l showed better inhibitory activity against TRKAG667C than that by the positive control, selitrectinib. Additionally, it induced apoptosis of Ba/F3-TRKAG595R and Ba/F3-TRKAG667C cells in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, 40l showed good selectivity for a panel of 41 kinases. In vitro assays indicated that 40l possessed outstanding plasma stability and moderate liver microsomal stability. Based on the above results, compound 40l could be further optimized to overcome the solvent front and xDFG TRK mutations.

Abstract
Tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRKs) enzymes are responsible for cancers associated with the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor gene fusion and are identified as effective targets for anticancer drug discovery. A series of small-molecule indolin-2-one derivatives showed remarkable biological activity against TRKs enzymatic activity. These small molecules could have an excellent profile for pharmaceutical application in the treatment of cancers caused by TRKs activity. The aim of this study is to modify the structure of these molecules to obtain new molecules with improved TRK inhibitory activity and pharmacokinetic properties favorable to the design of new drugs. Based on these series, we carried out a 3D-QSAR study. As a result, robust and reliable CoMFA and CoMSIA models are developed and applied to the design of 11 new molecules. These new molecules have a biological activity superior to the most active molecule in the starting series. The eleven designed molecules are screened using drug-likeness, ADMET proprieties, molecular docking, and MM-GBSA filters. The results of this screening identified the T1, T3, and T4 molecules as the best candidates for strong inhibition of TRKs enzymatic activity. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations are performed for TRK free and complexed with ligands T1, T3, and T4 to evaluate the stability of ligand-protein complexes over the simulation time. On the other hand, we proposed experimental synthesis routes for these newly designed molecules. Finally, the designed molecules T1, T2, and T3 have great potential to become reliable candidates for the conception of new drug inhibitors of TRKs.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
There is a continuing debate about the proportion of cancer patients that benefit from precision oncology, attributable in part to conflicting views as to which molecular alterations are clinically actionable. To quantify the expansion of clinical actionability since 2017, we annotated 47,271 solid tumors sequenced with the MSK-IMPACT clinical assay using two temporally distinct versions of the OncoKB knowledge base deployed 5 years apart. Between 2017 and 2022, we observed an increase from 8.9% to 31.6% in the fraction of tumors harboring a standard care (level 1 or 2) predictive biomarker of therapy response and an almost halving of tumors carrying nonactionable drivers (44.2% to 22.8%). In tumors with limited or no clinical actionability, TP53 (43.2%), KRAS (19.2%), and CDKN2A (12.2%) were the most frequently altered genes. SIGNIFICANCE Although clear progress has been made in expanding the availability of precision oncology-based treatment paradigms, our results suggest a continued unmet need for innovative therapeutic strategies, particularly for cancers with currently undruggable oncogenic drivers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The early-generation ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that are approved for the treatment of ROS1 fusion-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have antitumor activity, but resistance develops in tumors, and intracranial activity is suboptimal. Repotrectinib is a next-generation ROS1 TKI with preclinical activity against ROS1 fusion-positive cancers, including those with resistance mutations such as ROS1 G2032R. METHODS In this registrational phase 1-2 trial, we assessed the efficacy and safety of repotrectinib in patients with advanced solid tumors, including ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC. The primary efficacy end point in the phase 2 trial was confirmed objective response; efficacy analyses included patients from phase 1 and phase 2. Duration of response, progression-free survival, and safety were secondary end points in phase 2. RESULTS On the basis of results from the phase 1 trial, the recommended phase 2 dose of repotrectinib was 160 mg daily for 14 days, followed by 160 mg twice daily. Response occurred in 56 of the 71 patients (79%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 68 to 88) with ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC who had not previously received a ROS1 TKI; the median duration of response was 34.1 months (95% CI, 25.6 to could not be estimated), and median progression-free survival was 35.7 months (95% CI, 27.4 to could not be estimated). Response occurred in 21 of the 56 patients (38%; 95% CI, 25 to 52) with ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC who had previously received one ROS1 TKI and had never received chemotherapy; the median duration of response was 14.8 months (95% CI, 7.6 to could not be estimated), and median progression-free survival was 9.0 months (95% CI, 6.8 to 19.6). Ten of the 17 patients (59%; 95% CI, 33 to 82) with the ROS1 G2032R mutation had a response. A total of 426 patients received the phase 2 dose; the most common treatment-related adverse events were dizziness (in 58% of the patients), dysgeusia (in 50%), and paresthesia (in 30%), and 3% discontinued repotrectinib owing to treatment-related adverse events. CONCLUSIONS Repotrectinib had durable clinical activity in patients with ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC, regardless of whether they had previously received a ROS1 TKI. Adverse events were mainly of low grade and compatible with long-term administration.

NTRK2 expression in gastrointestinal stromal tumors with a special emphasis on the clinicopathological and prognostic impacts. Sci Rep 2024; 14:768.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are typically characterized by activating mutations of the KIT proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT) or platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA). Recently, the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) fusion was reported in a small subset of wild-type GIST. We examined trk IHC and NTRK gene expressions in GIST. Pan-trk immunohistochemistry (IHC) was positive in 25 (all 16 duodenal and 9 out of 16 small intestinal GISTs) of 139 cases, and all pan-trk positive cases showed diffuse and strong expression of c-kit. Interestingly, all of these cases showed only trkB but not trkA/trkC expression. Cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE) analysis identified increased number of genes whose promoters were activated in pan-trk/trkB positive GISTs. Imbalanced expression of NTRK2, which suggests the presence of NTRK2 fusion, was not observed in any of trkB positive GISTs, despite higher mRNA expression. TrkB expression was found in duodenal GISTs and more than half of small intestinal GISTs, and this subset of cases showed poor prognosis. However, there was not clear difference in clinical outcomes according to the trkB expression status in small intestinal GISTs. These findings may provide a possible hypothesis for trkB overexpression contributing to the tumorigenesis and aggressive clinical outcome in GISTs of duodenal origin.

KIT/PDGFRA Variant Allele Frequency as Prognostic Factor in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs): Results From a Multi-Institutional Cohort Study. Oncologist 2024; 29:e141-e151. [PMID: 37463014 PMCID: PMC10769785 DOI: 10.1093/oncolo/oyad206] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The patient selection for optimal adjuvant therapy in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) is provided by nomogram based on tumor size, mitotic index, tumor location, and tumor rupture. Although mutational status is not currently used to risk assessment, tumor genotype showed a prognostic influence on natural history and tumor relapse. Innovative measures, such as KIT/PDGFRA-mutant-specific variant allele frequency (VAF) levels detection from next-generation sequencing (NGS), may act as a surrogate of tumor burden and correlate with prognosis and overall survival of patients with GIST, helping the choice for adjuvant treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a multicenter, hospital-based, retrospective/prospective cohort study to investigate the prognostic role of KIT or PDGFRA-VAF of GIST in patients with radically resected localized disease. In the current manuscript, we present the results from the retrospective phase of the study. RESULTS Two-hundred (200) patients with GIST between 2015 and 2022 afferent to 6 Italian Oncologic Centers in the EURACAN Network were included in the study. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves analysis was used to classify "low" vs. "high" VAF values, further normalized on neoplastic cellularity (nVAF). When RFS between the low and high nVAF groups were compared, patients with GIST with KIT/PDGFRA nVAF > 50% showed less favorable RFS than patients in the group of nVAF ≤ 50% (2-year RFS, 72.6% vs. 93%, respectively; P = .003). The multivariable Cox regression model confirmed these results. In the homogeneous sub-population of intermediate-risk, patients with KIT-mutated GIST, the presence of nVAF >50% was statistically associated with higher disease recurrence. CONCLUSION In our study, we demonstrated that higher nVAF levels were independent predictors of GIST prognosis and survival in localized GIST patients with tumors harboring KIT or PDGFRA mutations. In the cohort of intermediate-risk patients, nVAF could be helpful to improve prognostication and the use of adjuvant imatinib.

Abstract
Herein, we present a misleading case of advanced papillary thyroid carcinoma with lung, node, and pleural metastases, initially diagnosed as metastatic lung adenocarcinoma with papillary features, based on the histological and immunohistochemical analysis of a pleural biopsy. Between August 2019 and August 2020, the patient received 2 ineffective lines of systemic therapy, including a first line of chemotherapy with cisplatin and pemetrexed, and a second line of immunotherapy with atezolizumab. Comprehensive genomic profiling by next-generation sequencing on the archival pleural biopsy revealed an NTRK1-TMP3 fusion and comutation of the TERT promoter, commonly found in papillary thyroid carcinoma. After palliative partial thyroidectomy that confirmed the diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma, in February 2021, the patient was enrolled in the STARTRK-2 GO40782 basket trial and received entrectinib, an oral pan-TRK inhibitor specifically targeting NTRK-rearranged tumors. After initially experiencing drug-related grade 2 anorexia, dysgeusia, and neurotoxicity and grade 3 asthenia, the dose was reduced, and an excellent and durable objective response was observed.

Abstract
Background. Pigmented microcystic chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a subtype of chromophobe RCC. Its distinct histopathologic features are microcystic and microtubular pattern, pigmentation, and microcalcifications. Pigmented microcystic chromophobe RCC has ultrastructure, immunophenotypic structure, and molecular results similar to chromophobe RCC. Methods. We report five tumors of pigmented microcystic chromophobe RCC. Morphological observation and immunohistochemical examination were performed, and clinical and molecular features were analyzed. Results. Microscopically, all five tumors showed brown pigmentation, microcystic, and tubular cystic structures, one tumor presented microscopic calcifications. All tumors were positive for EMA, AE1/AE3, PAX8, KRT7, KIT (CD117), claudin 7, KRT8, and E-cadherin, and three tumors expressed P504S. All tumors were negative for vimentin, CA9, KRT20, TFE3, TFEB, Melan-A, HMB45, FH, SDHB, and GATA3. Ki-67 index varied from less than 1% to 2%. In three tumors, next-generation sequencing of the 688 gene was performed, the results found gene variants with potential clinical significance such as JMJD1C, MYCL, TP53, PI3KCA, KRAS, APC, GLI1, LRRK2, and gene variants with unclear clinical significance such as NTRK1 and RAD50; All patients remained alive over a follow-up period of 8-46 months without tumor recurrence and sarcomatoid transformation. Conclusions. Pigmented microcystic chromophobe RCC has a relatively benign biological behavior, and distant metastases and sarcomatoid transformation are rare. This overview of five additional tumors of pigmented microcystic chromophobe RCC offers further insight into this special subtype of chromophobe RCC.

Abstract
The burden of neurological illnesses on global health is significant. Our perception of the molecular and biological mechanisms underlying intellectual processing and behavior has significantly advanced over the last few decades, laying the groundwork for potential therapies for various neurodegenerative diseases. A growing body of literature reveals that most neurodegenerative diseases could be due to the gradual failure of neurons in the brain's neocortex, hippocampus, and various subcortical areas. Research on various experimental models has uncovered several gene components to understand the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. One among them is the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which performs several vital functions, enhancing synaptic plasticity and assisting in the emergence of long-term thoughts. The pathophysiology of some neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Schizophrenia, and Huntington's, has been linked to BDNF. According to numerous research, high levels of BDNF are connected to a lower risk of developing a neurodegenerative disease. As a result, we want to concentrate on BDNF in this article and outline its protective role against neurological disorders.

Abstract
Over the past decade, tremendous efforts have been made in the development of targeted agents in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with nonsquamous histology. Pivotal studies have used next-generation sequencing to select the patient population harboring oncogenic driver alterations that are targetable with targeted therapies. As treatment paradigm rapidly evolves for patients with rare oncogene-driven NSCLC, updated comprehensive overview of diagnostic approach and treatment options is paramount in clinical settings. In this review article, we discuss the epidemiology, molecular testing, and landmark clinical trials addressing the targeted agents for ROS1 rearrangement, METex14 skipping mutation, EGFR exon 20 insertion, KRAS G12C mutation, HER2 mutation, RET fusion, NTRK fusion, and BRAF mutations.

Abstract
Tumor-agnostic testing for NTRK1-3 gene rearrangements is required to identify patients who may benefit from TRK inhibitor therapies. The overarching objective of this study was to establish a high-quality pan-TRK immunohistochemistry (IHC) screening assay among 18 large regional pathology laboratories across Canada using pan-TRK monoclonal antibody clone EPR17341 in a ring study design. TRK-fusion positive and negative tumor samples were collected from participating sites, with fusion status confirmed by panel next-generation sequencing assays. Each laboratory received: (1) unstained sections from 30 cases of TRK-fusion-positive or -negative tumors, (2) 2 types of reference standards: TRK calibrator slides and IHC critical assay performance controls (iCAPCs), (3) EPR17341 antibody, and (4) suggestions for developing IHC protocols. Participants were asked to optimize the IHC protocol for their instruments and detection systems by using iCAPCs, to stain the 30 study cases, and to report the percentage scores for membranous, cytoplasmic, and nuclear staining. TRK calibrators were used to assess the analytical sensitivity of IHC protocols developed by using the 2 reference standards. Fifteen of 18 laboratories achieved diagnostic sensitivity of 100% against next-generation sequencing. The diagnostic specificity ranged from 40% to 90%. The results did not differ significantly between positive scores based on the presence of any type of staining vs the presence of overall staining in ≥1% of cells. The median limit of detection measured by TRK calibrators was 76,000 molecules/cell (range 38,000 to >200,000 molecules/cell). Three different patterns of staining were observed in 19 TRK-positive cases, cytoplasmic-only in 7 samples, nuclear and cytoplasmic in 9 samples, and cytoplasmic and membranous in 3 samples. The Canadian multicentric pan-TRK study illustrates a successful strategy to accelerate the multicenter harmonization and implementation of pan-TRK immunohistochemical screening that achieves high diagnostic sensitivity by using laboratory-developed tests where laboratories used centrally developed reference materials. The measurement of analytical sensitivity by using TRK calibrators provided additional insights into IHC protocol performance.

Abstract
The majority of cancer cases are colorectal cancer, which is also the second largest cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Metastasis is the leading cause of death for patients with colorectal cancer. Metastatic colorectal cancer incidence are on the rise due to a tiny percentage of tumors developing resistant to medicines despite advances in treatment tactics. Cutting-edge targeted medications are now the go-to option for customized and all-encompassing CRC care. Specifically, multitarget kinase inhibitors, antivascular endothelial growth factors, and epidermal growth factor receptors are widely used in clinical practice for CRC-targeted treatments. Rare targets in metastatic colorectal cancer are becoming more well-known due to developments in precision diagnostics and the extensive use of second-generation sequencing technology. These targets include the KRAS mutation, the BRAF V600E mutation, the HER2 overexpression/amplification, and the MSI-H/dMMR. Incorporating certain medications into clinical trials has significantly increased patient survival rates, opening new avenues and bringing fresh viewpoints for treating metastatic colorectal cancer. These focused therapies change how cancer is treated, giving patients new hope and better results. These markers can significantly transform and individualize therapy regimens. They could open the door to precisely customized and more effective medicines, improving patient outcomes and quality of life. The fast-growing body of knowledge regarding the molecular biology of colorectal cancer and the latest developments in gene sequencing and molecular diagnostics are directly responsible for this advancement.

Abstract
Multitarget fluorescence in situ hybridization (mFISH) is a technique that allows the detection of multiple target sequences on the same sample using spectrally distinct fluorophore labels. The mFISH approach is currently a useful assay in the oncologic field for the detection of predictive, prognostic, and diagnostic biomarkers. In this chapter, we summarize the application of mFISH in the identification of target genetic aberrations in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples of several tumor types. We discuss the mFISH protocols in FFPE samples, the innovative multitarget probes used, and the critical issues related to their interpretation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE VC004 is a novel next-generation tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitor that is approved for the treatment of advanced or metastatic NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors and abrogated the drug resistance of the first-generation TRK inhibitors. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics and safety of VC004. METHODS The study was a randomized, open-label, two-period crossover, single-dose, phase I clinical trial. A total of 16 healthy subjects participated the trial. Subjects fasted for 10 h before drug administration in both fasting and fed states. Subjects received VC004 50 mg orally in the fasting state and after a high caloric food in the fed state. Blood samples at the designated time points were collected to determine the plasma concentration of VC004. Safety evaluation in both the fasted and fed periods were assessed via vital sign monitoring and clinical laboratory tests. RESULTS The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of VC004 in fed group decreased by 32.8%, corresponding with the slower absorption rate (time to Cmax (Tmax) delayed by almost 3 h) compared with the fasting group. Ratios of geometric means (GMRs) and 90% confidence intervals (90% CIs) of Cmax, the area under the curve of plasma concentration-time from zero to the last measurable concentration (AUC0-t), and AUC from zero to infinity (AUC0-∞) for VC004 between the two states were 67.18 (58.16-77.60), 103.59 (95.04-112.92) and 103.55 (95.63-112.11), respectively. No serious adverse events (AEs) occurred; only three grade 1 or grade 2 adverse events occurred in the fasted group, who recovered by the end of the study. CONCLUSIONS The intake of high calorie food decreased the absorption rate and increased the Tmax of VC004, while the AUC values were similar in both groups. No serious adverse event was reported. In conclusion, food does not alter the pharmacokinetics and safety profile of VC004 in a clinically meaningful manner. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT055528120.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the second most prevalent cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Surgery, chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy are currently available as treatment methods. However, drug resistance is a significant factor in the failure of lung cancer treatments. Novel therapeutics have been exploited to address complicated resistance mechanisms of lung cancer and the advancement of nanomedicine is extremely promising in terms of overcoming drug resistance. Nanomedicine equipped with multifunctional and tunable physiochemical properties in alignment with tumor genetic profiles can achieve precise, safe, and effective treatment while minimizing or eradicating drug resistance in cancer. Here, this work reviews the discovered resistance mechanisms for lung cancer chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy, and outlines novel strategies for the development of nanomedicine against drug resistance. This work focuses on engineering design, customized delivery, current challenges, and clinical translation of nanomedicine in the application of resistant lung cancer.

Radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic strategies for radioiodine resistance. Drug Resist Updat 2024; 72:101013. [PMID: 38041877 DOI: 10.1016/j.drup.2023.101013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
Radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC) is difficult to treat with radioactive iodine because of the absence of the sodium iodide transporter in the basement membrane of thyroid follicular cells for iodine uptake. This is usually due to the mutation or rearrangement of genes and the aberrant activation of signal pathways, which result in abnormal expression of thyroid-specific genes, leading to resistance of differentiated thyroid cancer cells to radioiodine therapy. Therefore, inhibiting the proliferation and growth of RAIR-DTC with multikinase inhibitors and other drugs or restoring its differentiation and then carrying out radioiodine therapy have become the first-line treatment strategies and main research directions. The drugs that regulate these kinases or signaling pathways have been studied in clinical and preclinical settings. In this review, we summarized the major gene mutations, gene rearrangements and abnormal activation of signaling pathways that led to radioiodine resistance of RAIR-DTC, as well as the medicine that have been tested in clinical and preclinical trials.

Abstract
NTRK gene fusions are part of a paradigm shift in oncology, arising as one of the main genomic alterations with actionability in the so-called "agnostic setting." In gynecologic pathology, the recent description of uterine sarcoma resembling fibrosarcoma and with NTRK rearrangements ( NTRK -rearranged uterine sarcoma) highlights the importance of recognizing clinicopathological cues that can lead to genomic profiling. Herein, we report the case of a 43-year-old woman presenting with vaginal bleeding and pelvic mass. Histopathology of the tumor showed moderately atypical spindle cells arranged in long fascicles reminiscent of fibrosarcoma, along with immunohistochemical positivity for S100, CD34, and pan-tropomyosin receptor kinase. This prompted RNA-sequencing and the finding of a rare EML4::NTRK3 fusion. Clinical, histologic, and molecular findings are described, in addition to discussions regarding differential diagnoses and possible implications of the findings in clinical practice.
