Oral milk-derived exosomes loaded with tafatinib for anti-inflammatory therapy. (PubMed, Int J Pharm X)
The pan-JAK inhibitor tofacitinib (TOF) has emerged as an effective therapeutic option for inducing and maintaining clinical remission in moderate-to-severe UC. Comprehensive in vitro and in vivo assessments of mEXOs@TOF confirmed the enhanced anti-inflammatory treatment on UC, with no detectable adverse effects. Collectively, the mEXOs@TOF nanodelivery system represents a targeted therapeutic strategy for improving UC treatment.

Real-World Outcomes of Sequential Afatinib and Osimertinib Versus Afatinib and Chemotherapy in EGFR-Mutant NSCLC: Taiwan Multicenter GIANT Study. (PubMed, Target Oncol)
Sequential afatinib-to-osimertinib therapy achieved remarkable OS exceeding 55 months in real-world practice, with outcomes appearing competitive with contemporary combination strategies. These findings support sequential TKI therapy as a durable and effective alternative that warrants prospective validation.

Fatal Disease Progression Driven by Acquired MET Amplification After EGFR-TKI Therapy in EGFR- and RBM10-Mutant Lung Adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Cancer Manag Res)
He received afatinib as frontline treatment and showed a partial response; however, the right lung lesion progressed after 14 months of treatment...Because EGFR testing using resected tissue showed only the original mutation, we switched his regimen to pemetrexed and carboplatin...Although an association between MET amplification and rapidly progressive lung cancer has been predicted previously, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the potential contribution of other mutations, such as those in RNA-binding motif 10, during MET-driven rapid progression. Our report highlights the importance of more active utilization of molecular profiling for the emergence of resistance during tyrosine kinase inhibitor use and the early identification of MET amplification and timely initiation of MET-targeted therapy, such as MET inhibitors in combination with EGFR-TKIs, to potentially mitigate rapid disease progression and clinical deterioration.

Exploring the potential of heterocyclic-containing tail approach in the development of novel covalent inhibitors dual-targeting EGFR and HER-2: design, synthesis and biological evaluation. (PubMed, Bioorg Med Chem)
Based on the structure of the existing drug afatinib, this study employed the heterocyclic-containing tail modification strategy to design and synthesize a series of novel pyrimidine derivatives, aiming to develop highly selective and low-toxicity EGFR/HER-2 dual-target covalent inhibitors...In addition, compound 10e exhibited significant antitumor activity with low toxicity in NCI-H1975 xenograft models. Collectively, these results indicate that a promising covalent dual inhibitor of EGFR and HER-2 represents a potential therapeutic candidate for NSCLC.

Integrated analysis of therapeutic strategies and prognostic factors in advanced lung adenocarcinoma: Retrospective study with emphasis on gene assays, multimodality treatment approaches and predictive machine learning models. (PubMed, Oncol Lett)
First-line treatment with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor afatinib was associated with improved OS compared with that of patients treated with erotinib or gefitinib. In addition, combination therapy with the angiogenesis inhibitor bevacizumab had a positive impact on OS...These findings highlight the importance of molecular profiling and individualized treatment strategies in optimizing OS for patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Furthermore, the validated machine learning models may serve as useful tools for risk stratification and personalized prognostic assessment to support clinical decision-making.

Dacomitinib as a First-Line Therapy for Advanced EGFR-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Without Brain Metastases: A Multicenter Retrospective Observational Study. (PubMed, Cancer Med)
Dacomitinib demonstrated favorable efficacy and tolerability as a first-line therapy in advanced NSCLC patients with common EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletion or L858R). A baseline ECOG PS ≥ 2 and the presence of bone or liver metastases were significantly associated with worse PFS, suggesting a need for additional therapeutic strategies in these subgroups.
