The recent surge in T-cell-engaging and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies is changing the landscape of cancer therapy. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome that is a well-known complication of these therapies, of which interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a key mediator. Tocilizumab, an IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) antagonist, is approved for the management of CAR T-cell therapy-induced CRS in adults and in pediatric patients aged ≥ 2 years old.

Plant lipids are an essential energy source for diets and are a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based fuels and feedstocks. Fatty acid breakdown during seed germination is crucial for seedling establishment but unexpected during seed filling. Here, we demonstrate that the simultaneous biosynthesis and degradation of fatty acids begins early and continues across all phases of oil filling and throughout the photoperiod.

Mosunetuzumab and other CD20/CD3 bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) have efficacy in B-cell lymphomas relapsing after or refractory to CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cells (CAR-T). The optimal timing of BsAbs and biomarkers of BsAb response after CAR-T are unknown. We addressed these questions using clinical data and blood samples from patients previously treated with CAR-T and subsequently treated on a phase 1/2 study of mosunetuzumab.

Phase I oncology clinical trials often comprise a limited number of patients representing different disease subtypes who are divided into cohorts receiving treatment(s) at different dosing levels and schedules. Here, we leverage a previously developed quantitative systems pharmacology model of the anti-CD20/CD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody, mosunetuzumab, to account for different dosing regimens and patient heterogeneity in the phase I study to inform clinical dose/exposure-response relationships and to identify biological determinants of clinical response. We developed a novel workflow to generate digital twins for each patient, which together form a virtual population (VPOP) that represented variability in biological, pharmacological, and tumor-related parameters from the phase I trial.

Background: Mosunetuzumab is a CD20 × CD3 T-cell-engaging bispecific monoclonal antibody that redirects T cells to eliminate malignant B cells. In a phase 1 study, mosunetuzumab was well tolerated and active in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma. We, therefore, aimed to evaluate the safety and anti-tumour activity of fixed-duration mosunetuzumab in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma who had received two or more previous therapies.

Background: Novel therapies for relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma are commonly evaluated in single-arm studies without formal comparison with other treatments or historical controls. Consequently, rigorously defined treatment outcomes informing expectations for novel therapeutic strategies in this population are sparse. To inform outcome expectations, we aimed to describe treatment patterns, survival outcomes, and duration of response in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma receiving three or more lines of systemic therapy.

Purpose: Somatic mutations in phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (), which encodes the p110α catalytic subunit of PI3K, are found in multiple human cancers. While recurrent mutations in helical, regulatory, and kinase domains lead to constitutive PI3K pathway activation, other mutations remain uncharacterized. To further evaluate their clinical actionability, we designed a basket study for patients with -mutant cancers with the isoform-specific PI3K inhibitor taselisib.
