PI3K Inhibitors in Cancer: Clinical Implications and Adverse Effects
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review PI3K Inhibitors in Cancer: Clinical Implications and Adverse Effects Rosalin Mishra , Hima Patel, Samar Alanazi , Mary Kate Kilroy and Joan T. Garrett * Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH 45267-0514, USA; [email protected] (R.M.); [email protected] (H.P.); [email protected] (S.A.); [email protected] (M.K.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-513-558-0741; Fax: +1-513-558-4372 Abstract: The phospatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) pathway is a crucial intracellular signaling pathway which is mutated or amplified in a wide variety of cancers including breast, gastric, ovarian, colorectal, prostate, glioblastoma and endometrial cancers. PI3K signaling plays an important role in cancer cell survival, angiogenesis and metastasis, making it a promising therapeutic target. There are several ongoing and completed clinical trials involving PI3K inhibitors (pan, isoform-specific and dual PI3K/mTOR) with the goal to find efficient PI3K inhibitors that could overcome resistance to current therapies. This review focuses on the current landscape of various PI3K inhibitors either as monotherapy or in combination therapies and the treatment outcomes involved in various phases of clinical trials in different cancer types. There is a discussion of the drug-related toxicities, challenges associated with these PI3K inhibitors and the adverse events leading to treatment failure. In addition, novel PI3K drugs that have potential to be translated in the clinic are highlighted.

(ACIP) General Best Guidance for Immunization
8. Altered Immunocompetence Updates This section incorporates general content from the Infectious Diseases Society of America policy statement, 2013 IDSA Clinical Practice Guideline for Vaccination of the Immunocompromised Host (1), to which CDC provided input in November 2011. The evidence supporting this guidance is based on expert opinion and arrived at by consensus. General Principles Altered immunocompetence, a term often used synonymously with immunosuppression, immunodeficiency, and immunocompromise, can be classified as primary or secondary. Primary immunodeficiencies generally are inherited and include conditions defined by an inherent absence or quantitative deficiency of cellular, humoral, or both components that provide immunity. Examples include congenital immunodeficiency diseases such as X- linked agammaglobulinemia, SCID, and chronic granulomatous disease. Secondary immunodeficiency is acquired and is defined by loss or qualitative deficiency in cellular or humoral immune components that occurs as a result of a disease process or its therapy. Examples of secondary immunodeficiency include HIV infection, hematopoietic malignancies, treatment with radiation, and treatment with immunosuppressive drugs. The degree to which immunosuppressive drugs cause clinically significant immunodeficiency generally is dose related and varies by drug. Primary and secondary immunodeficiencies might include a combination of deficits in both cellular and humoral immunity. Certain conditions like asplenia and chronic renal disease also can cause altered immunocompetence. Determination of altered immunocompetence is important to the vaccine provider because incidence or severity of some vaccine-preventable diseases is higher in persons with altered immunocompetence; therefore, certain vaccines (e.g., inactivated influenza vaccine, pneumococcal vaccines) are recommended specifically for persons with these diseases (2,3). Administration of live vaccines might need to be deferred until immune function has improved. -

Published OnlineFirst June 12, 2020; DOI: 10.1158/2159-8290.CD-20-0163 ABSTRACT Preclinical studies have demonstrated synergy between PARP and PI3K/AKT path- way inhibitors in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2)–deficient andBRCA1/2 -proficient tumors. We conducted an investigator-initiated phase I trial utilizing a prospective intrapatient dose- escalation design to assess two schedules of capivasertib (AKT inhibitor) with olaparib (PARP inhibi- tor) in 64 patients with advanced solid tumors. Dose expansions enrolled germline BRCA1/2-mutant tumors, or BRCA1/2 wild-type cancers harboring somatic DNA damage response (DDR) or PI3K–AKT pathway alterations. The combination was well tolerated. Recommended phase II doses for the two schedules were: olaparib 300 mg twice a day with either capivasertib 400 mg twice a day 4 days on, 3 days off, or capivasertib 640 mg twice a day 2 days on, 5 days off. -
The Use of Boron-Doped Diamond Electrode for the Determination of Selected Biocides in Water Samples
water Article The Use of Boron-Doped Diamond Electrode for the Determination of Selected Biocides in Water Samples Katarzyna Mielech-Łukasiewicz * and Barbara Starczewska Institute of Chemistry, University of Białystok, Ciołkowskiego 1 K, 15-245 Białystok, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-85-738-80-65 Received: 24 June 2019; Accepted: 30 July 2019; Published: 31 July 2019 Abstract: In recent years, the remains of chemical substances in water environments, referred to as emerging organic contaminations, have been more and more often studied by analysts. This work shows the possibility of using a boron-doped diamond electrode to determine low concentration levels of remains of pharmaceuticals in environmental samples. The study focused on selected biocides from the group of azole fungicides (itraconazole and posaconazole) and was performed using quick and sensitive electrochemical methods. The cyclic voltammetry method was used in order to determine the properties of these compounds, whereas analytical characterization was performed using square wave voltammetry. The work involved the specification of the optimum electrooxidation conditions of the selected fungicides, their comparative characterization, and the development of a new, sensitive methods of itraconazole and posaconazole assay. The proposed procedures allowed us to determine itraconazole in the range from 7.9 10 8 to 1.2 10 6 moL L 1 and posaconazole in the range from × − × − · − 5.7 10 8 to 8.44 10 7 moL L 1. The relative standard deviation of the measurements did not × − × − · − exceed 5.85%. The developed procedures were successfully used to determine itraconazole and posaconazole concentration in water samples and the assay recovery was between 93.5% and 102.8%. -
Intravenous Immunoglobulin Fails to Improve ARDS in Patients
Prohaska et al. Journal of Intensive Care (2018) 6:11 DOI 10.1186/s40560-018-0278-8 RESEARCH Open Access Intravenous immunoglobulin fails to improve ARDS in patients undergoing ECMO therapy Stefanie Prohaska1, Andrea Schirner1, Albina Bashota1, Andreas Körner1, Gunnar Blumenstock2 and Helene A. Haeberle1* Abstract Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high mortality rates. ARDS patients suffer from severe hypoxemia, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy may be necessary to ensure oxygenation. ARDS has various etiologies, including trauma, ischemia-reperfusion injury or infections of various origins, and the associated immunological responses may vary. To support the immunological response in this patient collective, we used intravenous IgM immunoglobulin therapy to enhance the likelihood of pulmonary recovery. Methods: ARDS patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) who were placed on ECMO and treated with (IVIG group; n = 29) or without (control group; n = 28) intravenous IgM-enriched immunoglobulins for 3 days in the initial stages of ARDS were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The baseline characteristics did not differ between the groups, although the IVIG group showed a significantly reduced oxygenation index compared to the control group. We found no differences in the length of ICU stay or ventilation parameters. We did not find a significant difference between the groups for the extent of inflammation or for overall survival. Conclusion: We conclude that administration -
