Abstract. Purpose: Interleukin (IL)-1 pathway upregulation is implicated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) progression, therapy resistance, and survival. Nadunolimab is an IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP)-targeting antibody with enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity that blocks IL-1α/IL-1β signaling. We investigated efficacy and safety of nadunolimab in PDAC, in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (GN). Patients and methods: Patients with previously untreated locally advanced/metastatic PDAC received nadunolimab (1.0-7.5 mg/kg) every two weeks with standard GN. The primary objective was safety; secondary objectives were anti-tumor response, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Correlations between serum and tumor biomarkers and clinical response were explored. Results: 76 patients were enrolled, median age 63 years (range 43–89), 42% female, 97% with metastatic disease, 9% having received adjuvant chemotherapy. The most frequen

Mashup Score: 23Multiomic Characterization Reveals a Distinct Molecular Landscape in Young-Onset Pancreatic Cancer - 4 month(s) ago
PURPOSE Using a real-world database with matched genomic-transcriptomic molecular data, we sought to characterize the distinct molecular correlates underlying clinical differences between patients with young-onset pancreatic cancer (YOPC; younger than 50 years) and patients with average-onset pancreatic cancer (AOPC; 70 years and older). METHODS We analyzed matched whole-transcriptome and DNA sequencing data from 2,430 patient samples (YOPC, n = 292; AOPC, n = 2,138) from the Caris Life Sciences database (Phoenix, AZ). Immune deconvolution was performed using the quanTIseq pipeline. Overall survival (OS) data were obtained from insurance claims (n = 4,928); Kaplan-Meier estimates were calculated for age- and molecularly defined cohorts. Significance was determined as FDR-corrected P values (Q) < .05. RESULTS Patients with YOPC had higher proportions of mismatch repair–deficient/microsatellite instability-high, BRCA2-mutant, and PALB2-mutant tumors compared with patients with AOPC, but

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by intratumoral abundance of neutrophilic/polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSC) which inhibit T-cell function through JAK2/STAT3-regulated arginase activity. To overcome limitations of systemic inhibition of PMN-MDSCs in cancer-bearing patients—i.e., neutropenia and compensatory myelopoietic adaptations—we develop a nanoengineering strategy to target cell-specific signaling exclusively in PMN-MDSCs without provoking neutropenia. We conjugate a chemically modified small-molecule inhibitor of MDSC-surface receptor CXCR2 (AZD5069) with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and chemically graft AZD5069-PEG constructs onto amphiphilic polysaccharide derivatives to engineer CXCR2-homing nanoparticles (CXCR2-NP). Cy5.5 dye-loaded CXCR2-NP showed near-exclusive uptake in PMN-MDSCs compared with PDAC tumor-cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts, and macrophages. Encapsulation of JAK2/STAT3i Ruxolitinib (CXCR2-NPRuxo) resulted in
