Development of a SPE-LC-MS Method for the Quantitation of Palbociclib and Abemaciclib in Human Plasma - PubMed

Development of a SPE-LC-MS Method for the Quantitation of Palbociclib and Abemaciclib in Human Plasma - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36500697/

Palbociclib and abemaciclib are two cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 used for breast cancer treatment. Levels of these medicines present a significant interindividual variability, so monitoring those concentrations might be...



Conclusions: The LC-MS method can be used to quantify the drugs in human plasma in routine analysis. The method proved to be useful in determining real plasma levels in patients involved in cancer therapy. Drug concentrations were determined in a 10 min run-time, including re-equilibration of the column.

Biomarkers of Response and Resistance to CDK4/6 Inhibitors in Breast Cancer: Hints from Liquid Biopsy and microRNA Exploration - PubMed

Biomarkers of Response and Resistance to CDK4/6 Inhibitors in Breast Cancer: Hints from Liquid Biopsy and microRNA Exploration - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36498861/

New evidence on the impact of dysregulation of the CDK4/6 pathway on breast cancer (BC) cell proliferation has led to the development of selective CDK4/6 inhibitors, which have radically changed...


Conclusions: Recent advances in biomarker identification are discussed, including the potential use of liquid biopsy for BC management and the role of multiple microRNAs as molecular predictors of cancer cell sensitivity and resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors

Abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy for hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, node-positive, high-risk early breast cancer (monarchE): results from a preplanned interim analysis of a randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial

Abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy for hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, node-positive, high-risk early breast cancer (monarchE): results from a preplanned interim analysis of a randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial

Source : https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanonc/article/PIIS1470-2045(22)00694-5/fulltext

Adjuvant abemaciclib reduces the risk of recurrence. The benefit is sustained beyond the completion of treatment with an absolute increase at 4 years, further supporting the use of abemaciclib in...


Conclusions: An important mechanism of eventual resistance to RET inhibitors is the emergence of secondary drug resistance mutations, particularly in the solvent front, and several promising compounds are in development to overcome these mutations. Mechanisms of acquired resistance that bypass RET signaling altogether have also been discovered,...

Risk of Abemaciclib-induced Liver Injury in Hormone Receptor-positive, HER2-negative Metastatic Breast Cancer: A Retrospective Analysis

Risk of Abemaciclib-induced Liver Injury in Hormone Receptor-positive, HER2-negative Metastatic Breast Cancer: A Retrospective Analysis

Source : https://ar.iiarjournals.org/content/42/12/6027

Background/Aim: The efficacy of endocrine therapy combined with abemaciclib for hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer has been established through pivotal clinical trials. However, abemaciclib-induced liver injury (AILI) can be...


Conclusions: Concomitant use of an AI could be the most significant factor associated with increased risk of AILI. Future research on the mechanism by which the use of an AI plus abemaciclib can cause liver injury, and prospective studies to validate our findings regarding AILI risk factors, are warranted.

Ribociclib and palbociclib-induced erythema multiforme: a case report - PubMed

Ribociclib and palbociclib-induced erythema multiforme: a case report - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36447465/

Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CKIs), ribociclib, palbocilb and abemaciclib, have been approved in combination with endocrine therapy for the treatment of hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor 2-negative advanced...



Relevance: We sought to report this case given the implication of two agents from the same drug class in EM onset. We also aim to emphasize the breadth of mechanisms of actions of CKIs, with an impingement in the immune system as well, and the importance of promptly identifying and handling such skin toxicities.
