ABSTRACT Overexpression and constitutive activation of CYCLIN D1 and Casein Kinase 2 are common features of many hematologic malignancies, including mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and leukemias such as T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Although both CK2 and CDK4 inhibitors have shown promising results against these tumor types, none of these agents have achieved objective responses in the clinic as monotherapies.

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.

  • Inflammatory Discovery in COVID-19
    Published OnlineFirst April 12, 2021; DOI: 10.1158/2159-8290.CD-21-0144 REVIEW Repurposing of Anticancer Drugs Expands Possibilities for Antiviral and Anti- Inflammatory Discovery in COVID-19 Mihaela Aldea1, Jean-Marie Michot2, Francois-Xavier Danlos3,4, Antoni Ribas5, and Jean-Charles Soria2,4 ABSTRACT In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented destabilization of the world’s health and economic systems. The rapid spread and life-threatening conse- quences of COVID-19 have imposed testing of repurposed drugs, by investigating interventions already used in other indications, including anticancer drugs. The contours of anticancer drug repurposing have been shaped by similarities between the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and malignancies, including abnormal inflammatory and immunologic responses. In this review, we discuss the salient positive and negative points of repurposing anticancer drugs to advance treatments for COVID-19. Significance: Targeting anti-inflammatory pathways with JAK/STAT inhibitors or anticytokine thera- pies aiming to curb COVID-19–related cytokine storm, using antiangiogenic drugs to reduce vascular abnormalities or immune-checkpoint inhibitors to improve antiviral defenses, could be of value in COVID-19. However, conflicting data on drug efficacy point to the need for better patient selection and biomarker studies. INTRODUCTION coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic (3).
