Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e37423. [PMID: 38489731 PMCID: PMC10939701 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000037423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcoma is a heterogeneous malignancy arising from interstitial tissue. Anthracycline-based therapy is the first-line treatment recommended by guidelines for patients with locally advanced or metastatic unresectable sarcoma. Recently, targeted therapies, in particular tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), have made significant progress in the treatment of sarcoma, and their efficacy has been investigated in randomized controlled trials. The aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the efficacy of TKIs in patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma who have previously received chemotherapy. METHODS We completed a meta-analysis after conducting literature searches in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane. The single-drug, placebo-controlled, randomized controlled clinical trials of TKIs in patients with advanced or progressive sarcoma who have previously received chemotherapy are available for inclusion in the study. The observation results were objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). The subgroup analysis was performed according to histological subtypes of sarcoma. RESULTS This study included 6 studies, including 1033 patients. The ORR (OR: 7.99, 95% CI: 3.62-19.61, P < .00001), DCR (OR: 2.54, 95% CI: 1.27-5.08, P = .009), PFS (HR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.34-0.62, P < .00001), and OS (HR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.67-0.96, P = .02) of patients treated with TKIs were better than those in the placebo group. CONCLUSIONS In patients with advanced sarcoma, TKIs have been shown to have advantages in terms of ORR, DCR and PFS and OS. Multi-targeted TKIs may be considered as one of the second-line treatment options for sarcoma patients who have received prior chemotherapy.

Abstract
In 1971, Folkman proposed that tumors could be limited to very small sizes by blocking angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is the generation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels, considered to be one of the important processes in tumor growth and metastasis. Angiogenesis is a complex process regulated by various factors and involves many secreted factors and signaling pathways. Angiogenesis is important in the transport of oxygen and nutrients to the tumor during tumor development. Therefore, inhibition of angiogenesis has become an important strategy in the clinical management of many solid tumors. Combination therapies of angiogenesis inhibitors with radiotherapy and chemotherapy are often used in clinical practice. In this article, we will review common targets against angiogenesis, the most common and up-to-date anti-angiogenic drugs and clinical treatments in recent years, including active ingredients from chemical and herbal medicines.

Impact of Value Frameworks on the Magnitude of Clinical Benefit: Evaluating a Decade of Randomized Trials for Systemic Therapy in Solid Malignancies. Curr Oncol 2021; 28:4894-4928. [PMID: 34898590 PMCID: PMC8628676 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol28060412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
In the era of rapid development of new, expensive cancer therapies, value frameworks have been developed to quantify clinical benefit (CB). We assessed the evolution of CB since the 2015 introduction of The American Society of Clinical Oncology and The European Society of Medical Oncology value frameworks. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) assessing systemic therapies for solid malignancies from 2010 to 2020 were evaluated and CB (Δ) in 2010–2014 (pre-value frameworks (PRE)) were compared to 2015–2020 (POST) for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), response rate (RR), and quality of life (QoL). In the 485 studies analyzed (12% PRE and 88% POST), the most common primary endpoint was PFS (49%), followed by OS (20%), RR (12%), and QoL (6%), with a significant increase in OS and decrease in RR as primary endpoints in the POST era (p = 0.011). Multivariable analyses revealed significant improvement in ΔOS POST (OR 2.86, 95% CI 0.46 to 5.26, p = 0.02) while controlling for other variables. After the development of value frameworks, median ΔOS improved minimally. The impact of value frameworks has yet to be fully realized in RCTs. Efforts to include endpoints shown to impact value, such as QoL, into clinical trials are warranted.

Abstract
Purpose Chemotherapy and multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are important treatments for advanced soft tissue sarcomas, but the following treatment remains unclear after the failure of these drugs. This retrospective study investigated the efficacy and safety of multi-targeted TKI rechallenge in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma after the failure of previous TKI treatment. Patients and Methods Gastrointestinal stromal tumors, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and anaplastic lymphoma kinase translocation-positive inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor were excluded. Eligible patients included those diagnosed with advanced soft tissue sarcoma, progressed after the initial TKI treatment, and received the same or other TKI therapies. Treatment response, adverse events, median progression-free survival and overall survival were analyzed. Results Twenty-six eligible patients were included. Nineteen patients had previously received chemotherapy, and all patients had received at least 1.5 months of initial TKI treatment. During the TKI rechallenge, patients were treated with anlotinib (n =16), lenvatinib (n =3), apatinib (n =2), pazopanib (n =2), axitinib (n =2) or regorafenib (n =1). No patients achieved responses. Nine (34.6%) patients had stable disease confirmed by a second imaging scan, and 5 (19.2%) patients had stable disease that was not confirmed by a second scan. The estimated median progression-free survival and overall survival were 3.3 months and 11.7 months, respectively. Grade 3/4 adverse events occurred in 6 (23.1%) patients and were manageable. Conclusion Our findings suggest that multi-targeted TKI rechallenge may provide potential clinical benefits for patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma after their previous TKI treatment.
