Tumour-Agnostic Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer and Biliary Tract Cancer
diagnostics Review Tumour-Agnostic Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer and Biliary Tract Cancer Shunsuke Kato Department of Clinical Oncology, Juntendo University Graduate School of Medicine, 2-1-1, Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8421, Japan; [email protected]; Tel.: +81-3-5802-1543 Abstract: The prognosis of patients with solid tumours has remarkably improved with the develop- ment of molecular-targeted drugs and immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, the improvements in the prognosis of pancreatic cancer and biliary tract cancer is delayed compared to other carcinomas, and the 5-year survival rates of distal-stage disease are approximately 10 and 20%, respectively. How- ever, a comprehensive analysis of tumour cells using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project has led to the identification of various driver mutations. Evidently, few mutations exist across organs, and basket trials targeting driver mutations regardless of the primary organ are being actively conducted. Such basket trials not only focus on the gate keeper-type oncogene mutations, such as HER2 and BRAF, but also focus on the caretaker-type tumour suppressor genes, such as BRCA1/2, mismatch repair-related genes, which cause hereditary cancer syndrome. As oncogene panel testing is a vital approach in routine practice, clinicians should devise a strategy for improved understanding of the cancer genome. Here, the gene mutation profiles of pancreatic cancer and biliary tract cancer have been outlined and the current status of tumour-agnostic therapy in these cancers has been reported.

Safety and Tolerability of Arimoclomol in Patients with Sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis: a Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Proof-Of-Concept Trial
Safety and tolerability of arimoclomol in patients with sporadic inclusion body myositis: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept trial Sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM) is the commonest idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) occurring in patients over the age of 50 years.1-4 The prevalence of IBM differs between different populations and ethnic groups, with estimates between 4.9-70.6 per million population.5-10 IBM is distinguished from the other IIM by early asymmetric finger flexor and knee extensor weakness (leading to loss of hand function and propensity to fall) and resistance to immunosuppressive therapy. Any skeletal muscle can be affected, including oesophageal and pharyngeal muscles. Late-stage disease can be characterized by very significant morbidity including disability and loss of quality of life. Death in IBM is related to malnutrition, cachexia, aspiration, respiratory infection and respiratory failure, as a consequence of dysphagia, severe global weakness and weakness of the respiratory muscles.1-4 In a Dutch cohort, end-of-life care interventions were used by 13% of patients with IBM, highlighting the morbidity experienced by these patients and the need of supportive and palliative care in this disease.2 The aetiopathogenesis of IBM remains uncertain. The varied pathological findings observed have driven a number of theories including viral infection, accumulation of toxic proteins, autoimmune attack, myonuclear degeneration, endoplasmic reticulum stress and impairment of autophagy and proteasomal proteolysis.11-15 Muscle biopsies from patients with IBM typically show several different pathological features broadly described as inflammatory or degenerative. Inflammatory features include endomysial infiltration by mononuclear cells (predominantly CD8+ T- cells), which surround and invade otherwise normal appearing muscle fibres, and overexpression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, which is not constitutively expressed by skeletal muscle. -

Predictive QSAR Tools to Aid in Early Process Development of Monoclonal Antibodies
Predictive QSAR tools to aid in early process development of monoclonal antibodies John Micael Andreas Karlberg Published work submitted to Newcastle University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Engineering November 2019 Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become one of the fastest growing markets for diagnostic and therapeutic treatments over the last 30 years with a global sales revenue around $89 billion reported in 2017. A popular framework widely used in pharmaceutical industries for designing manufacturing processes for mAbs is Quality by Design (QbD) due to providing a structured and systematic approach in investigation and screening process parameters that might influence the product quality. However, due to the large number of product quality attributes (CQAs) and process parameters that exist in an mAb process platform, extensive investigation is needed to characterise their impact on the product quality which makes the process development costly and time consuming. There is thus an urgent need for methods and tools that can be used for early risk-based selection of critical product properties and process factors to reduce the number of potential factors that have to be investigated, thereby aiding in speeding up the process development and reduce costs. In this study, a framework for predictive model development based on Quantitative Structure- Activity Relationship (QSAR) modelling was developed to link structural features and properties of mAbs to Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) retention times and expressed mAb yield from HEK cells. Model development was based on a structured approach for incremental model refinement and evaluation that aided in increasing model performance until becoming acceptable in accordance to the OECD guidelines for QSAR models. -

Activity of Selected Group of Monoterpenes in Alzheimer's
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Activity of Selected Group of Monoterpenes in Alzheimer’s Disease Symptoms in Experimental Model Studies—A Non-Systematic Review Karolina Wojtunik-Kulesza 1,*, Monika Rudkowska 2, Kamila Kasprzak-Drozd 1,* , Anna Oniszczuk 1 and Kinga Borowicz-Reutt 2 1 Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Medical University of Lublin, Chod´zki4a, 20-093 Lublin, Poland; [email protected] 2 Independent Experimental Neuropathophysiology Unit, Medical University of Lublin, Jaczewskiego 8b, 20-090 Lublin, Poland; [email protected] (M.R.); [email protected] (K.B.-R.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (K.W.-K.); [email protected] (K.K.-D.) Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia and cognitive function im- pairment. The multi-faced character of AD requires new drug solutions based on substances that incorporate a wide range of activities. Antioxidants, AChE/BChE inhibitors, BACE1, or anti-amyloid platelet aggregation substances are most desirable because they improve cognition with minimal side effects. Plant secondary metabolites, used in traditional medicine and pharmacy, are promising. Among these are the monoterpenes—low-molecular compounds with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, Citation: Wojtunik-Kulesza, K.; enzyme inhibitory, analgesic, sedative, as well as other biological properties. The presented review Rudkowska, M.; Kasprzak-Drozd, K.; focuses on the pathophysiology of AD and a selected group of anti-neurodegenerative monoterpenes Oniszczuk, A.; Borowicz-Reutt, K. and monoterpenoids for which possible mechanisms of action have been explained. The main body Activity of Selected Group of of the article focuses on monoterpenes that have shown improved memory and learning, anxiolytic Monoterpenes in Alzheimer’s and sleep-regulating effects as determined by in vitro and in silico tests—followed by validation in Disease Symptoms in Experimental in vivo models. -
