Epidermal growth factor receptor antibody plus recombinant human endostatin in treatment of hepatic metastases after remnant gastric cancer resection

We report a 55-year-old male who developed advanced hepatic metastasis and peritoneal carcinomatosis after resection of remnant gastric cancer resection 3 mo ago. The patient only received epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor antibody (Cetuximab) plus recombinant human endostatin (Endostar). Anti-tumor activity was assessed by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computer tomography (PET/CT) at baseline and then every 4 wk. The case illustrates that 18FDG-PET/CT could make an early prediction of the response to Cetuximab plus Endostar in such clinical situations. 18FDG-PET/CT is a useful molecular imaging modality to evaluate the biological response advanced hepatic metastasis and peritoneal carcinomatosis to Cetuximab plus Endostar in patients after remnant gastric cancer resection.

Continuous intravenous infusion of recombinant human endostatin using infusion pump plus chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer

BACKGROUND Lung cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in the world with the highest incidence and mortality rate among all cancers.Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)accounts for approximately 80%of primary lung cancer.However,efficacy and safety of the current regimens for NSCLC is unsatisfactory.Therefore,there has been an increasing urgency for development of potential therapeutic therapies for NSCLC.AIM To investigate the therapeutic outcomes and safety of continuous intravenous infusion of recombinant human endostatin(Rh-endostain)using an infusion pump in retreated advanced NSCLC.METHODS Patients with retreated advanced NSCLC who were admitted to Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from October 2017 to April 2019 were recruited.These patients received continuous intravenous infusion of Rh-endostain using an infusion pump.Objective response rate(ORR),clinical benefit rate(CBR),median progression-free survival(mPFS),and incidences of adverse events(AEs)were analyzed after treatment.RESULTS A total of 45 patients with retreated advanced NSCLC were included,and all of them were evaluated.In these patients,ORR was 22.2%,CBR was 84.4%,and mPFS was 5.3 mo.The following AEs were observed,decreased hemoglobin(34 cases,75.6%),nausea/vomiting(32 cases,71.1%),elevated transaminase(24 cases,53.3%),leukopenia(16 cases,35.6%),thrombocytopenia(14 cases,31.1%),and constipation(1 case,3.4%).None of the patients had leukopenia,nausea/vomiting,and constipation of grade III and above.CONCLUSION The patients showed improved adherence to 5-d continuous intravenous infusion of Rh-endostain using an infusion pump.Favorable efficacy and safety of this treatment regimen were achieved in retreated advanced NSCLC.

Effect of recombinant human endostatin on endometriosis in mice

Background Direct and indirect evidences have suggested that angiogenesis is a prerequisite for the development of endometriosis. Aiming at offering experimental evidences for anti-angiogenesis therapy, we transplanted the eutopic endometrium from patient with endometriosis into the severe combined immunodeficiency disease （SCID） mice, to evaluate the effect of the endostatin on the growth and angiogenesis of the established endometriosis lesions in SCID mice model. Methods Eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis was transplanted into the SCID mice. The mice were randomized into treatment （n= 10） and control groups （n=10）. Two weeks after the implantation of endometrium fragment, the treatment group was injected with recombinant human endostatin YH-16 into the peritoneal cavity （2 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）, whereas the control group received equivalent volume of PBS （200 μl/d）. The volume of endometriotic lesions in SCID mice was measured every three days, and all the treatment lasted for 14 days. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine microvessel density （MVD） and the expression of VEGF. The results were analyzed by t test and X^2 test to value the treating effect. Results Compared with the control group, growth of endometriosis lesion was reduced in the mice treated with YH-16. Statistically significant differences in the volume and weight of the ectopic lesions were observed between the treatment and the control groups （P〈0.05）. Microscopical examination showed that after being treated with YH-16, the volume of the endometrial tissues decreased, the glands depauperated, and the glandular epithelium partially degenerated. Necrotic debris was observed in the endometrial stroma. MVD and expression of VEGF in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group （P〈0.05）.Conclusions Recombinant human endostatin affects the maintenance and growth of endometriotic tissues by inhibiting angiogenesis and reducing the expression of VEGF in ectopic lesion. The angiostatic agent may be promising as a therapy for endometriosis.
