This phase I, nonrandomized, open-label multiple-dose study evaluated pexidartinib safety and efficacy in Asian patients with symptomatic, advanced solid tumors. Materials and Methods Patients received pexidartinib: cohort 1, 600 mg/d; cohort 2, 1000 mg/d for 2 weeks, then 800 mg/d. Primary objectives assessed pexidartinib safety and tolerability, and determined the recommended phase 2 dose; secondary objectives evaluated efficacy and pharmacokinetic profile. Results All11patients(6males,5 females; median age 64, range 23–82; cohort 1 n = 3; cohort 2 n = 8) experienced at least one treatment-emergent adverse event; 5 experienced at least one grade ≥ 3 adverse event, most commonly (18%) for each of the following: increased aspartate aminotransfer- ase, blood alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, and anemia.

  • Identification of Candidate Repurposable Drugs to Combat COVID-19 Using a Signature-Based Approach
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Identifcation of candidate repurposable drugs to combat COVID‑19 using a signature‑based approach Sinead M. O’Donovan1,10, Ali Imami1,10, Hunter Eby1, Nicholas D. Henkel1, Justin Fortune Creeden1, Sophie Asah1, Xiaolu Zhang1, Xiaojun Wu1, Rawan Alnafsah1, R. Travis Taylor2, James Reigle3,4, Alexander Thorman6, Behrouz Shamsaei4, Jarek Meller4,5,6,7,8 & Robert E. McCullumsmith1,9* The COVID‑19 pandemic caused by the novel SARS‑CoV‑2 is more contagious than other coronaviruses and has higher rates of mortality than infuenza. Identifcation of efective therapeutics is a crucial tool to treat those infected with SARS‑CoV‑2 and limit the spread of this novel disease globally. We deployed a bioinformatics workfow to identify candidate drugs for the treatment of COVID‑19. Using an “omics” repository, the Library of Integrated Network‑Based Cellular Signatures (LINCS), we simultaneously probed transcriptomic signatures of putative COVID‑19 drugs and publicly available SARS‑CoV‑2 infected cell lines to identify novel therapeutics. We identifed a shortlist of 20 candidate drugs: 8 are already under trial for the treatment of COVID‑19, the remaining 12 have antiviral properties and 6 have antiviral efcacy against coronaviruses specifcally, in vitro. All candidate drugs are either FDA approved or are under investigation. Our candidate drug fndings are discordant with (i.e., reverse) SARS‑CoV‑2 transcriptome signatures generated in vitro, and a subset are also identifed in transcriptome signatures generated from COVID‑19 patient samples, like the MEK inhibitor selumetinib. Overall, our fndings provide additional support for drugs that are already being explored as therapeutic agents for the treatment of COVID‑19 and identify promising novel targets that are worthy of further investigation.

  • The Tumor Microenvironment and Overcoming Immune Escape Arsen Osipov1, May Tun Saung1, Lei Zheng1 and Adrian G
    Osipov et al. Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer (2019) 7:224 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40425-019-0667-0 REVIEW Open Access Small molecule immunomodulation: the tumor microenvironment and overcoming immune escape Arsen Osipov1, May Tun Saung1, Lei Zheng1 and Adrian G. Murphy1,2* Abstract Immunotherapy has led to a paradigm shift in the treatment of many advanced malignancies. Despite the success in treatment of tumors like non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and melanoma, checkpoint inhibition-based immunotherapy has limitations. Many tumors, such as pancreatic cancer, are less responsive to checkpoint inhibitors, where patients tend to have a limited duration of benefit and where clinical responses are more robust in patients who are positive for predictive biomarkers. One of the critical factors that influence the efficacy of immunotherapy is the tumor microenvironment (TME), which contains a heterogeneous composition of immunosuppressive cells. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) alter the immune landscape of the TME and serve as facilitators of tumor proliferation, metastatic growth and immunotherapy resistance. Small molecule inhibitors that target these components of the TME have been developed. This special issue review focuses on two promising classes of immunomodulatory small molecule inhibitors: colony stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK). Small molecule inhibitors of CSF-1R reprogram the TME and TAMs, and lead to enhanced T-cell-mediated tumor eradication. FAK small molecule inhibitors decrease the infiltration MDSCs, TAMs and regulatory T-cells. Additionally, FAK inhibitors are implicated as modulators of stromal density and cancer stem cells, leading to a TME more conducive to an anti-tumor immune response.

Upon administration, tanibirumab specifically binds to VEGFR2, thereby preventing the binding of its ligand VEGF. This may result in the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and a decrease in tumor nutrient supply. VEGFR2 is a pro-angiogenic growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase expressed by endothelial cells, while VEGF is overexpressed in many tumors and is correlated to tumor progression.

West, Adhirai Marimuthu, Paul Severson, David A. Karlin, Afshin Dowlati, Mai H. Le, Lisa M. Coussens and Hope S. Rugo Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the safety, recommended phase II dose (RP2D) and efficacy of pexidartinib, a colony stimulating factor receptor 1 (CSF-1R) inhibitor, in combination with weekly paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients and Methods: In part 1 of this phase Ib study, 24 patients with advanced solid tumors received escalating doses of pexidartinib with weekly paclitaxel (80 mg/m2). Pexidartinib was administered at 600 mg/day in cohort 1. For subsequent cohorts, the dose was increased by ⩽50% using a standard 3+3 design. In part 2, 30 patients with metastatic solid tumors were enrolled to examine safety, tolerability and efficacy of the RP2D. Pharmacokinetics and biomarkers were also assessed. Results: A total of 51 patients reported ≥1 adverse event(s) (AEs) that were at least possibly related to either study drug. Grade 3–4 AEs, including anemia (26%), neutropenia (22%), lymphopenia (19%), fatigue (15%), and hypertension (11%), were Correspondence to: Robert Wesolowski recorded in 38 patients (70%).
