Simultaneous Determination of Methotrexate Concentrations in Human Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid Using Two-Dimensional Liquid Chromatography: Applications in Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma. World J Oncol 2024; 15:825-836. [PMID: 39328338 PMCID: PMC11424109 DOI: 10.14740/wjon1910] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/21/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background In this study, we aimed to develop a method for the simultaneous quantification of methotrexate (MTX) samples extracted from human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), using two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC). Furthermore, we intended to verify whether intravenous mannitol could increase MTX concentration in the CSF of patients. Methods The mobile phase of PUMP1 consisted of 10.0 mmol/L ammonium acetate and acetonitrile. PUMP2 solution consisted of an aqueous solution of 10.0 mmol/L ammonium acetate. The mobile phase of PUMP3 comprised 50.0 mmol/L ammonium acetate and acetonitrile, with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Results The developed method was successfully employed to simultaneously determine drug levels in plasma and CSF from the patients treated with MTX. CSF samples were obtained by lumbar puncture 0.5 - 2 h after starting the high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) infusion (over 4 h) and immediately before the intrathecal (IT) administration of MTX. Venous blood samples were drawn 4 h after the start of infusion. The calibration curve was linear, with a range of 0.07 - 2.38 µmol/L for CSF samples and a range of 0.11 - 5.51 µmol/L for plasma samples. Precision (> 95%) and accuracy (> 97%) were within the acceptance criteria for each quality control (QC) level. Inter- and intra-day accuracy and precision values met the acceptance criteria for each QC level. The correlation between MTX concentrations in the plasma and CSF was moderate (r = 0.502). No significant difference was observed in MTX concentration in CSF between patients using intravenous mannitol and those not using intravenous mannitol (P = 0.682). Conclusion The developed method was useful for therapeutic drug monitoring of MTX and suitable for assessing the risks and benefits of chemotherapy in patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma. Intravenous mannitol did not increase MTX concentration in the CSF of patients.

Sintilimab (anti-PD-1 antibody) combined with high-dose methotrexate, temozolomide, and rituximab (anti-CD20 antibody) in primary central nervous system lymphoma: a phase 2 study. Signal Transduct Target Ther 2024; 9:229. [PMID: 39227388 PMCID: PMC11372099 DOI: 10.1038/s41392-024-01941-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 07/17/2024] [Accepted: 07/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare and frequently fatal lymphoma subtype. The programmed death-1 (PD-1) pathway has emerged as a potential therapeutic target, but the effectiveness of PD-1 antibody sintilimab in combination with immunochemotherapy as a frontline treatment for PCNSL remains to be determined. In this phase 2 trial (ChiCTR1900027433) with a safety run-in, we included patients aged 18-70 with newly diagnosed PCNSL. Participants underwent six 21-day cycles of a SMTR regimen, which includes sintilimab (200 mg, Day 0), rituximab (375 mg/m2, Day 0), methotrexate (3.0 g/m2, Day 1 or 1.0 g/m2 for patients aged ≥65 years), and temozolomide (150 mg/m2/d, Days 1-5). Among 27 evaluable patients, the overall response rate (ORR) was 96.3% (95% confidence interval: 81-99.9%), with 25 complete responses. At a median follow-up of 24.4 months, the medians for duration of response, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival were not reached. The most common grade 3-4 treatment-related toxicities were increased levels of alanine aminotransferase (17.9%) and aspartate aminotransferase (14.3%). Additionally, baseline levels of interferon-α and the IL10/IL6 ratio in cerebrospinal fluid emerged as potential predictors of PFS, achieving areas under the curve of 0.88 and 0.84, respectively, at 2 years. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a higher prevalence of RTK-RAS and PI3K pathway mutations in the durable clinical benefit group, while a greater frequency of Notch and Hippo pathway mutations in the no durable benefit group. These findings suggest the SMTR regimen is highly efficacious and tolerable for newly diagnosed PCNSL, warranting further investigation.

Abstract
Tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) represents a critical oncological emergency characterized by extensive tumour cell breakdown, leading to the swift release of intracellular contents into the systemic circulation, outpacing homeostatic mechanisms. This process results in hyperuricaemia (a by-product of intracellular DNA release), hyperkalaemia, hyperphosphataemia, hypocalcaemia and the accumulation of xanthine. These electrolyte and metabolic imbalances pose a significant risk of acute kidney injury, cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, multiorgan failure and, rarely, death. While TLS can occur spontaneously, it usually arises shortly after the initiation of effective treatment, particularly in patients with a large cancer cell mass (defined as ≥500 g or ≥300 g/m2 of body surface area in children). To prevent TLS, close monitoring and hydration to improve renal perfusion and urine output and to minimize uric acid or calcium phosphate precipitation in renal tubules are essential. Intervention is based on the risk of a patient of having TLS and can include rasburicase and allopurinol. Xanthine, typically enzymatically converted to uric acid, can accumulate when xanthine oxidases, such as allopurinol, are administered during TLS management. Whether measurement of xanthine is clinically useful to optimize the use of allopurinol or rasburicase remains to be determined.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX)-based regimens are the treatment of choice in primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Folinic acid (FA) rescue is used to mitigate the toxic effects of MTX on normal cells. However, the optimal dosing of FA in PCNSL remains uncertain. METHODS We analyzed the relationship between FA dosing and treatment efficacy and toxicity in a cohort of 36 PCNSL patients treated at our institute between the years 2014 and 2022. A combination of univariate and multivariate analyses using known prognostic factors were used to determine the association between FA dosing and treatment outcomes. RESULTS We found that higher per-treatment cumulative FA doses were associated with inferior progression-free survival (PFS), with a hazard ratio (HR) of 2.2 for each 100 mg/m2 increase in FA dose. We identified a threshold of 350 mg/m2/treatment, above which there was a significant reduction in PFS. Notably, lower FA doses did not result in increased toxicity. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that optimizing FA dosing to avoid very high rescue doses may improve treatment outcomes in PCNSL patients receiving HDMTX. Further prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings.

Abstract
This short note presents the data and rationale for adding five generic non-oncology drugs from general medical practice to gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, a current standard cytotoxic chemotherapy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The regimen, called IPIAD, uses an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) irbesartan indicated for treating hypertension, an old antimicrobial drug pyrimethamine indicated for treating toxoplasmosis or malaria, an old antifungal drug itraconazole, an old broad spectrum antibiotic azithromycin and an old antibiotic dapsone. In reviewing selected growth driving systems active in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma then comparing these with detailed data on ancillary attributes of the IPIAD drugs, one can predict clinical benefit and slowing growth of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by this augmentation regimen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have reported that overall survival of elderly patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), who have the highest incidence of this disease, had failed to benefit from the advancements in treatment strategies over the past decades. This highlights the necessity for intensified research to guide treatment decisions for this specific patient population. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) was used to extract data of elderly PCNSL patients (age ≥ 60) who were divided into training and validation groups at the ratio of 7:3, for our analysis. Conditional survival [CS(y|x)] was defined as the probability at survival additional y years given that the patient had not died of PCNSL at a specified period of time (x years) after initial diagnosis. The CS pattern of elderly PCNSL patients was analyzed. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and multivariate Cox regression analysis were applied to develop a novel CS-based nomogram. RESULTS A total of 3315 elderly patients diagnosed with CNS lymphoma between 2000 and 2019 were extracted from the SEER database, of whom 2320 patients were divided into the training group and 995 into the internal validation group. CS analysis revealed a noteworthy escalation in the 5-year survival rate among elderly PCNSL patients for every additional year of survival. The rates progressed from an initial 21-49%, 63%, and 75%, culminating in an impressive 88% and the survival improvement over time was nonlinear. The LASSO regression identified nine predictors and multivariate Cox regression was used to successfully construct the CS-based nomogram model with favorable prediction performance. CONCLUSION CS of elderly PCNSL patients was dynamic and increased over time. Our newly-established CS-based nomogram can provide a real-time dynamic survival estimation, allowing clinicians to better guide treatment decision for these patients.

Abstract
Patients receiving high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) for malignancies are exposed to diverse complications, including nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, mucositis, myelotoxicity, neurological symptoms, and death. Glucarpidase is a recombinant carboxypeptidase G2 (CPG2) that converts MTX into nontoxic metabolites. In this study, the role of vector type, gene optimization, orientation, and host on the expression of CPG2 is investigated. The effectiveness of various therapeutic regimens containing glucarpidase is classified and perspectives on the dose adjustment based on precision medicine are provided. Conjugation with cell-penetrating peptides, human serum albumin, and polymers such as PEG and dextran for delivery, higher stability, and production of the biobetter variants of CPG2 is highlighted. Conjugation of CPG2 to F(ab՜)2 or scFv antibody fragments against tumor-specific antigens and the corresponding prodrugs for tumor-targeted drug delivery using the antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (ADEPT) is communicated. Trials to reduce the off-target effects and the possibility of repeated ADEPT cycles by adding pro-domains sensitive to tumor-overexpressed proteases, antiCPG2 antibodies, CPG2 mutants with immune-system-unrecognizable epitopes, and protective polymers are reported. Intracellular cpg2 gene expression by gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT) and the concerns regarding the safety and transfection efficacy of the GDEPT vectors are described. A novel bifunctional platform using engineered CAR-T cell micropharmacies, known as Synthetic Enzyme-Armed KillER (SEAKER) cells, expressing CPG2 to activate prodrugs at the tumor niche is introduced. Taken together, integrated data in this review and recruiting combinatorial strategies in novel drug delivery systems define the future directions of ADEPT, GDEPT, and SEAKER cell therapy and the placement of CPG2 therein.

Abstract
Approximately 30% of lymphomas occur outside the lymph nodes, spleen, or bone marrow, and the incidence of extranodal lymphoma has been rising in the past decade. While traditional chemotherapy and radiation therapy can improve survival outcomes for certain patients, the prognosis for extranodal lymphoma patients remains unsatisfactory. Extranodal lymphomas in different anatomical sites often have distinct cellular origins, pathogenic mechanisms, and clinical manifestations, significantly influencing their diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a comprehensive summary of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment progress of extranodal lymphoma overall and specifically for different anatomical sites. This review summarizes the current progress in the common key signaling pathways in the development of extranodal lymphomas and intervention therapy. Furthermore, it provides insights into the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment strategies of common extranodal lymphomas, including gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, mycosis fungoides (MF), natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (nasal type, NKTCL-NT), and primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Additionally, as PCNSL is one of the extranodal lymphomas with the worst prognosis, this review specifically summarizes prognostic indicators and discusses the challenges and opportunities related to its clinical applications. The aim of this review is to assist clinical physicians and researchers in understanding the current status of extranodal lymphomas, enabling them to make informed clinical decisions that contribute to improving patient prognosis.

Evolution of Gold and Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in Conjugates with Methotrexate: Synthesis and Anticancer Effects. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:3238. [PMID: 37110074 PMCID: PMC10146258 DOI: 10.3390/ma16083238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Au and Fe nanoparticles and their conjugates with the drug methotrexate were obtained by an environmentally safe method of metal-vapor synthesis (MVS). The materials were characterized by transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM, SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and small-angle X-ray scattering using synchrotron radiation (SAXS). The use of acetone as an organic reagent in the MVS makes it possible to obtain Au and Fe particles with an average size of 8.3 and 1.8 nm, respectively, which was established by TEM. It was found that Au, both in the NPs and the composite with methotrexate, was in the Au0, Au+ and Au3+ states. The Au 4f spectra for Au-containing systems are very close. The effect of methotrexate was manifested in a slight decrease in the proportion of the Au0 state-from 0.81 to 0.76. In the Fe NPs, the main state is the Fe3+ state, and the Fe2+ state is also present in a small amount. The analysis of samples by SAXS registered highly heterogeneous populations of metal nanoparticles coexisting with a wide proportion of large aggregates, the number of which increased significantly in the presence of methotrexate. For Au conjugates with methotrexate, a very wide asymmetric fraction with sizes up to 60 nm and a maximum of ~4 nm has been registered. In the case of Fe, the main fraction consists of particles with a radius of 4.6 nm. The main fraction consists of aggregates up to 10 nm. The size of the aggregates varies in the range of 20-50 nm. In the presence of methotrexate, the number of aggregates increases. The cytotoxicity and anticancer activity of the obtained nanomaterials were determined by MTT and NR assays. Fe conjugates with methotrexate showed the highest toxicity against the lung adenocarcinoma cell line and Au nanoparticles loaded with methotrexate affected the human colon adenocarcinoma cell line. Both conjugates displayed lysosome-specific toxicity against the A549 cancer cell line after 120 h of culture. The obtained materials may be promising for the creation of improved agents for cancer treatment.
