Optimisation of treatment with lenvatinib in radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer

Cancer Treatment Reviews

Abstract

Lenvatinib has been approved for the treatment of advanced differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) refractory to radioactive iodine (RAI) following the results of the SELECT trial which demonstrated a significant increase in progression-free survival and a high response rates. The data reported for lenvatinib in RAI-refractory DTC (RAI-R DTC) are the most significant to date in this patient population, with a RECIST objective response rate above 60% and almost 80% reduction in the risk of disease progression. Because the first indication in oncology for lenvatinib is specifically in RAI-R DTC, a period of familiarisation with its safety and efficacy profile is required. This review includes a series of specific recommendations for optimising the management of RAI-R DTC with lenvatinib, as well as specific guidelines for minimising the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs), which enable dose intensity to be increased and this way maximise the benefits of the drug in the patient population treated. These recommendations were defined at a meeting of experts of different specialities, reviewing available scientific evidence on the drug, as well as their own direct personal experience in daily clinical practice. For toxicity to...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
