Multi-target Agents in Complex Diseases: From Design Principles to Therapeutic Applications. (PubMed, Curr Drug Targets)
Multi-target agents are no longer constrained by single-target effects; however, issues of balanced potency, ADMET, and control still exist. The combination of AI, quantum computing, and precision polypharmacology may enable more effective multi-target interventions to address unmet demands in complex diseases.

ALDH1L2 suppresses ferroptosis-associated responses and reduces sunitinib sensitivity in renal cell carcinoma organoids. (PubMed, Biol Direct)
These findings suggest that ALDH1L2 contributes to reduced sunitinib sensitivity in RCC organoids by attenuating ferroptosis-related responses. HA-1 may improve the response of RCC organoids to sunitinib by targeting ALDH1L2, supporting further evaluation of this combination strategy.

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Model-Informed Precision Dosing of Oral TKIs and PARP Inhibitors: A Practical Framework for Clinical Implementation. (PubMed, Clin Pharmacokinet)
High-level evidence, including prospective interventional studies, supports exposure-guided dosing for imatinib and sunitinib, demonstrating improved molecular or clinical outcomes when predefined trough concentration targets are achieved. For alectinib, cabozantinib, trametinib, and lenvatinib, consistent exposure-response or exposure-toxicity relationships and pragmatic concentration thresholds support selective implementation, although randomized validation remains limited. For agents such as osimertinib, brigatinib, olaparib, and niraparib, monitoring appears most clinically relevant in toxicity-driven scenarios rather than for efficacy optimization. In contrast, lorlatinib currently lacks a clearly defined therapeutic window, limiting routine applicability...In conclusion, therapeutic drug monitoring and model-informed precision dosing are ready for selective clinical adoption in a subset of oral targeted therapies. Future prospective trials integrating pharmacometric tools with patient-centered outcomes are required to refine exposure targets and expand evidence-based implementation.

Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets of Traditional Chinese Medicine Compounds in Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Comprehensive Narrative Review. (PubMed, J Ethnopharmacol)
TCM acts as a multi-target network modulator against RCC. That could help overcome drug resistance and improve current therapies. Future research should focus on chemical standardization, pharmacokinetic profiling, and biomarker-driven clinical trials.

Targeting mitochondrial metabolism in renal cell carcinoma with melatonin: Preclinical evidence and clinical perspectives. (PubMed, Tissue Cell)
Importantly, melatonin works with TKIs like sunitinib and pazopanib to improve mitochondrial homeostasis and increase therapeutic effectiveness. Overall, melatonin provides a multi-targeted, low-toxicity strategy for overcoming metabolic and therapeutic resistance in RCC, emphasizing its translational promise as an adjuvant. Further clinical trials should concentrate on dose optimization, biomarker-guided patient selection, and combination regimens that include immune checkpoint blockade.

[177Lu]Lu-dota-tate versus sunitinib in patients with metastatic progressive neuroendocrine tumours of the pancreas (OCLURANDOM): a randomised, controlled, phase 2 trial. (PubMed, Lancet Oncol)
Using sunitinib as an internal control, our results show clinically significant antitumour efficacy of [177Lu]Lu-dota-tate in pretreated, progressive, somatostatin receptor-positive, metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours, and a better quality of life during the treatment phase. Late adverse events were reported in the [177Lu]Lu-dota-tate group that might affect the tolerance of subsequent lines of treatment.

Sunitinib enhances cuproptosis induced by copper ionophores via ROS-ATF3-SLC31A1 axis in thyroid Carcinoma. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of combining Sunitinib with copper ionophore Elesclomol as a novel strategy against thyroid carcinoma. Clinically, TCGA analysis reveals SLC31A1 as a vulnerability in advanced thyroid cancer, with expression significantly downregulated in metastatic lesions, a deficit rescued by Sunitinib. Overall, these results demonstrate that Sunitinib and copper ionophores can induce synergistic cytotoxic effect, shedding light on therapeutic strategy for advanced thyroid carcinomas.

Stage-specific biomarkers in triple-negative breast cancer: Preliminary findings from bioinformatics approaches. (PubMed, Cancer Biomark)
miRNA co-regulation distinguished early-stage TNBC through PI3K-AKT-related pathways and advanced-stage TNBC through tumor progression-associated pathways. Docking-based drug repurposing highlighted conventional agents (e.g., doxorubicin) and potential novel candidates (e.g., sunitinib).ConclusionThis study identifies novel stage-specific gene candidates and suggests repurposable drugs for TNBC, supporting progression-specific targeted therapeutic strategies.
