  • The Mechanisms and Managements of Hormone-Therapy Resistance in Breast and Prostate Cancers
    Endocrine-Related Cancer (2005) 12 511–532 REVIEW The mechanisms and managements of hormone-therapy resistance in breast and prostate cancers K-M Rau1,2*, H-Y Kang3,4*, T-L Cha1,5,6, S A Miller1 and M-C Hung1 1Department of Molecular and Cellular Oncology, The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA 2Department of Hematology-Oncology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung Medical Center, Kaohsiung, Taiwan 3Graduate Institute of Clinical Medical Sciences, Chang Gung University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan 4The Center for Menopause and Reproductive Medicine Research, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung Medical Center, Kaohsiung, Taiwan 5Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, TX 77030, USA 6Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Tri-Service General Hospital, National Defense Medical Center, Taipei, Taiwan (Requests for offprints should be addressed to M-C Hung; Email: [email protected]) *(K-M Rau and H-Y Kang contributed equally to this work) Abstract Breast and prostate cancer are the most well-characterized cancers of the type that have their development and growth controlled by the endocrine system. These cancers are the leading causes of cancer death in women and men, respectively, in the United States. Being hormone-dependent tumors, antihormone therapies usually are effective in prevention and treatment. However, the emergence of resistance is common, especially for locally advanced tumors and metastatic tumors, in which case resistance is predictable. The phenotypes of these resistant tumors include receptor- positive, ligand-dependent; receptor-positive, ligand-independent; and receptor-negative, ligand- independent. The underlying mechanisms of these phenotypes are complicated, involving not only sex hormones and sex hormone receptors, but also several growth factors and growth factor re- ceptors, with different signaling pathways existing alone or together, and with each pathway possibly linking to one another.

Sandhu, PhD, MS, MPH Division of Epidemiology I Subject: ARIA Sufficiency Memo for Pregnancy Safety Concerns Drug Name(s): Amovig (erenumab) Application Type/Number: BLA 761077 Applicant/sponsor: Amgen Inc. OSE RCM #: 2018-869 Page 1 of 5 Reference ID: 4263424 Expedited ARIA Sufficiency Template for Pregnancy Safety Concerns 1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1.1. Medical Product Amovig (erenumab) is a human immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2) monoclonal antibody against the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor. CGRP is a neuropeptide that modulates nociceptive signaling and a vasodilator associated with migraine pathophysiology.1-3 Plasma CGRP levels have been shown to increase significantly during migraine and return to normal when headache is relieved.4, 5 Erenumab competes with the binding of CGRP and inhibits its function at the CGRP receptor, and thus, the proposed indication is for prophylaxis of episodic and chronic migraine in adults. 1.2. Describe the Safety Concern Amovig (erenumab) exposure to women affected by migraine that are pregnant or of childbearing potential is possible. The data from a non-clinical study provided by the sponsor in which female monkeys were administered erenumab (0 or 50 mg/kg) twice weekly by subcutaneous showed that injection throughout pregnancy (gestation day 20-22 to parturition) did not observe adverse effects on offspring.
