We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 20 patients with stage IV non-small-cell lung cancer. The patients had progressive disease after standard antitumor therapy and subsequently received intravenous albumin-bound paclitaxel at the dose of 100 mg/m2 in weekly schedule. Cumulative findings showed that the overall response rate was 30.0%, the disease control rate amounted to 40%, and the 1 year survival rate was 30%. In addition, the median time to progression and the median survival time reached 5 and 10 months, respectively. Meanwhile, no severe hypersensitivity reactions and grade 4 adverse effects were reported. In summary, weekly-administered albumin-bound paclitaxel seems to be an effective and safe regimen for elderly patients with stage IV non-small-cell lung cancer who were refractory to conventional therapy.展开更多

Herein, we fabricated an albumin nanoparticle formulation for co-loading paclitaxel(PTX) and curcumin(CCM), both of which have prominent anticancer efficacy, via nanoparticle albumin-bound(NabTM) technology using high-pressure homogenization. The PTX/CCM co-bound albumin nanoparticles(PTX/CCM Alb-NPs) had a slightly greater particle size of ~250 nm than that of plain PTX AlbNPs and CCM Alb-NPs(~234 and ~134 nm, respectively), with spherical surface morphology and stable size maintenance. However, the zeta potential of PTX/CCM Alb-NPs(ca.-30 mV)was not significantly different from that of PTX or CCM Alb-NPs. The loaded PTX and CCM were released gradually from the PTX/CCM Alb-NPs over ~24 h(97.7 ± 1.7% and 76.2 ± 0.5%,respectively). Furthermore, PTX/CCM Alb-NPs appeared to be efficiently internalized into Mia Paca-2 cells and exhibited a 71% increased IC50 versus PTX Alb-NPs in terms of cytotoxicity to Mia Paca-2 cells. These results suggest that PTX/CCM Alb-NPs are a new potential anticancer agent for combination therapy.展开更多

Administration of these drugs with siRNA is an efficacious strategy in this battle. Here, the present study tried to incorporate siRNA and paclitaxel(PTX) simultaneously into a novel nanocarrier. The selectivity of carrier to target cancer tissues was optimized through conjugation of folic acid(FA) and glucose(Glu) onto its surface. The structure of nanocarrier was formed from ternary magnetic copolymers based on FeCopolyethyleneimine(FeCo-PEI) nanoparticles and polylactic acid-polyethylene glycol(PLA-PEG) gene delivery system. Biocompatibility of FeCo-PEI-PLA-PEG-FA(NPsA), FeCo-PEI-PLA-PEG-Glu(NPsB) and FeCo-PEI-PLA-PEG-FA/Glu(NPsAB) nanoparticles and also influence of PTX-loaded nanoparticles on in vitro cytotoxicity were examined using MTT assay. Besides, siRNA-FAM internalization was investigated by fluorescence microscopy. The results showed the blank nanoparticles were significantly less cytotoxic at various concentrations. Meanwhile, siRNA-FAM/PTX encapsulated nanoparticles exhibited significant anticancer activity against MCF-7 and BT-474 cell lines. NPsAB/siRNA/PTX nanoparticles showed greater effects on MCF-7 and BT-474 cells viability than NPsA/siRNA/PTX and NPsB/siRNA/PTX.Also, they induced significantly higher anticancer effects on cancer cells compared with NPsA/siRNA/PTX and NPsB/siRNA/PTX due to their multi-targeted properties using FA and Glu. We concluded that NPsAB nanoparticles have a great potential for co-delivery of both drugs and genes for use in gene therapy and chemotherapy.展开更多

P...Cholesterol-core nanoparticles (LDE) have been shown to be recognized by low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR) after administration; therefore, LDE is an ideal vehicle to deliver drug with targeting property. Paclitaxel, when incorporated into LDE, promotes atherosclerosis regression with reduced drug toxicity in rabbits through LDLR. Here, we tested whether LDE-paclitaxel could still be effective in reducing diet-induced atherosclerosis in a mouse model without LDLR. Nineteen LDLR knockout male mice were fed 1% cholesterol for 12 weeks. Then, 12 animals received 4-weekly intraperitoneal LDE-paclitaxel (4 mg/kg) while 7 controls received saline solution. On week 12 and 16, in vivo MR/of the aortic roots was performed. Aorta macroscopy was made after euthanasia. Reduction ofatherosclerotic lesions was observed. LDE-paclitaxel treatment resulted in reduction of wall area (14%) and stenosis (22%) by MR/and 33% by macroscopy. Thus, LDE-paclitaxel may produce pharmacological effects through LDE uptake by mechanisms other than LDLR.展开更多

The primary end point was progression-free survival(PFS). The secondary end points were overall response rate(ORR) and overall survival(OS).Results: According to our analysis, the median PFS was 4.8 months for the nab-TP arm vs. 5.2 months for the GP arm(P=0.55). Analysis showed the median OS was 14.6 months for participants who were in the nab-TP arm vs. 15.1 months for those in the GP arm(P=0.94). Besides, nab-TP showed OS advantages over GP in patients harboring epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) mutation(26.7 vs. 15.3 months, P=0.046) and patients with a performance status of 0(23.5 vs. 14.7 months, P=0.020). It was found that incidences of drug-related grade 3 or 4 toxicities were comparable between the two treatment arms.Conclusions: Therefore, it can be seen that weekly nab-TP treatment has a similar efficacy and tolerability to GP treatment for patients who are undergoing their first-line treatment for NSCLC. It could be that survival differences among platinum doublets in the context of both EGFR mutation and performance status have the potential to be the basis for our further clinical trials.展开更多

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the short-term efficacy and toxicities of ABP monotherapy in treating 21 patients who had previously undergone multiple cycles of therapy for their advanced NSCLC in our hospital since 2010. The treatment-related survival was also analyzed. Results: Of these 21 patients, the best overall response was partial response (PR) in 6 patients (28.6%), stable disease (SD) in I0 patients (47.6%), and progressive disease (PD) in 5 patients (23.8%). The overall response rate (ORR) was 28.6% and the disease control rate (DCR) (PR + SD) was 76.2%. The median progression-flee survival (PFS) was 4.0 months (95% CI, 5.0-7.0 months). The main grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia (11.1%), peripheral nerve toxicity (5.6%), muscle and joint aches (5.6%), and fatigue (5.6%). Conclusions: The ABP monotherapy can achieve good objective response in advanced NSCLC patients who have previously received multiple cycles of treatment and be well tolerated.展开更多

The...Objective: Albumin-bound paclitaxel (abraxane, ABX) has more favorable efficacy and less toxicity than conventional taxanes. However, the data of ABX in advanced gastric cancer (AGC) treatment is unavailable. The current study was designed to summarize our experience in treating AGC patients with ABX. Methods: The clinical data of patients with AGC who had received at least one cycle of ABX-based chemotherapy in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from January 10th 2010 to May 14th 2012 was retrospectively analyzed. Results: A total of 47 cycles of ABX-containing regimens, with a median of 3 cycles (range: 1-8 cycles), were administered to 14 patients. Five (35.7%) partial responses and 6 (42.9%) stable diseases were obtained, with a disease control rate (DCR) of 78.6%. The median progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 3.3 and 10.8 months, respectively. Interestingly, patients in the first-line setting achieved a DCR of 100% (8/8). Neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were the main grade 3/4 adverse events with an incidence of 50% in the whole group. However, only 25% patients (2/8) experienced grade 3 neutropenia when ABX in combination with fluoropyrJmJdines. Conclusion: The activity of ABX-based regimens as first-line therapy for patients with AGC is remarkable, and the toxicity is mild when ABX combined with fluorepyrimidines. Further prospective clinical trials of ABX-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment for AGC are strongly anticipated.展开更多

Meanwhile,acquired immune resistance always occurs due to the enhanced programmed cell death-ligand 1(PD-L1) expression after PTX@Alb treatment, which then leads to immune tolerance. To fill these gaps,we newly revealed that tamoxifen (TAM), a clinically widely used adjuvant therapy for breast cancer withmitochondrial metabolism blockade capacity, could also be used as a novel effective PD-L1 and TGF-bdual-inhibitor via inducing the phosphorylation of adenosine 5ʹ-monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK) protein. Following this, to obtain a more significant effect, TPP-TAM was prepared by conjugatingmitochondria-targeted triphenylphosphine (TPP) with TAM, which then further self-assembledwith albumin (Alb) to form TPP-TAM@Alb nanoparticles. By doing this, TPP-TAM@Alb nanoparticleseffectively decreased the expression of collagen in vitro, which then led to the enhanced accumulation ofPTX@Alb in 4T1 tumors. Besides, TPP-TAM@Alb also effectively decreased the expression of PD-L1 and TGF-b in tumors to better sensitize PTX@Alb-mediated chemo-immunotherapy by enhancing T cellinfiltration. All in all, we newly put forward a novel mitochondrial metabolism blockade strategy toinhibit PTX@Alb-resistant tumors, further supporting its better clinical application。展开更多

An orthogonal experiment L9(3)3 was applied to get the best preparation conditions. The core-shell paclitaxel-loaded MPEG-PLA/PLA nanoparticles with the highest drug loading efficiency were obtained when amount of MPEG-PLA, time of ultrasonication and volume of deionized water were 300 mg, 10 rain and 30 mL, respectively. The release behavior of paclitaxel from the optimal MPEG-PLA/PLA nanoparticles showed that 22% ofpaclitaxel was released in 14 d. When incubating with human nasopharyngeal carcinoma ceils expressing LMP 1, these optimal nanoparticles showed a little lower tumor growth compared with free paclitaxel.展开更多

Recently, severe side effects of nanoparticles have been reported, but the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. In our study, we aim to understand the safety of paclitaxel (PTX) loaded bovine albumin nanoparticles (BNPs) and active targeted PTX loaded BNPs to normal vital organ or tissue in vivo. The anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/neu) peptide mimetic (AHNP) was covalent bound to surface of BNPs (AHNP-BNPs) to exert selected delivery to HER2+ cells. In HER2+ tumor xenographs, saline (control), PTX traditional formula (medium of Cremophor EL-ethanol), BNPs, and AHNP-BNPs were administrated to evaluate the toxicity. There is no severe neutropenia or anemia with treatment of BNPs and AHNP-BNPs compared with traditional PTX injection. We also evaluated their damage on normal organs, including liver, kidney, spleen, lung and heart to fully estimate the safety of AHNP-BNPs and BNPs delivery systems. We observed similar toxicity in liver and lung in mice treated with BNPs or PTX injection, but decreased liver damage in mice treated with AHNP-BNPs. Further studies are rcouired to confirm our conclusion.展开更多

文摘Objective: To observe the efficacy and safety of albumin-bound paclitaxel (ABP) monotherapy in treating recurrent advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the short-term efficacy and toxicities of ABP monotherapy in treating 21 patients who had previously undergone multiple cycles of therapy for their advanced NSCLC in our hospital since 2010. The treatment-related survival was also analyzed. Results: Of these 21 patients, the best overall response was partial response (PR) in 6 patients (28.6%), stable disease (SD) in I0 patients (47.6%), and progressive disease (PD) in 5 patients (23.8%). The overall response rate (ORR) was 28.6% and the disease control rate (DCR) (PR + SD) was 76.2%. The median progression-flee survival (PFS) was 4.0 months (95% CI, 5.0-7.0 months). The main grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia (11.1%), peripheral nerve toxicity (5.6%), muscle and joint aches (5.6%), and fatigue (5.6%). Conclusions: The ABP monotherapy can achieve good objective response in advanced NSCLC patients who have previously received multiple cycles of treatment and be well tolerated.
文摘BACKGROUND Cholangiocarcinomas are rare and very aggressive tumors.Most patients have advanced-stage or unresectable disease at presentation,and the systemic therapies have limited efficacy.Albumin-bound paclitaxel(nab-paclitaxel)is a solvent-free taxane that has been approved for the treatment of some cancers such as breast,non-small cell lung and pancreatic cancer,however it has not been applied to treat cholangiocarcinoma.We have both preclinical and clinical evidence of the efficacy of nab-paclitaxel in cholangiocarcinoma,yet no phase 3 trials have been made.CASE SUMMARY A 63-year-old man was diagnosed in December 2016 with stage III B intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Surgery was performed,followed by adjuvant chemotherapy treatment with capecitabine and gemcitabine;although,the gemcitabine was suspended due to allergic reaction after two cycles.In April 2019,metastatic cholangiocarcinoma relapse was diagnosed,and a first-line treatment with FOLFOX scheme was started.Eight cycles were administered,producing an initial clinical improvement and decrease in blood tumor marker levels.Radiological and serological progression was noted in September 2019.As a second-line treatment,FOLFIRI was not recommended due to risk of worsening the patient’s tumor-related diarrhea.A combination therapy with gemcitabine was not feasible,as the patient had previously suffered from an allergic reaction to this treatment.We decided to use nab-paclitaxel as a second-line treatment,and four cycles were administered.Both clinical and serological responses were observed,and a radiological mixed response was also noted.CONCLUSION Advanced cholangiocarcinoma could be treated with nab-paclitaxel monotherapy,which should be studied in combination with other types of treatment(chemotherapy,fibroblast growth factor receptor inhibitors).
文摘Objective: Albumin-bound paclitaxel (abraxane, ABX) has more favorable efficacy and less toxicity than conventional taxanes. However, the data of ABX in advanced gastric cancer (AGC) treatment is unavailable. The current study was designed to summarize our experience in treating AGC patients with ABX. Methods: The clinical data of patients with AGC who had received at least one cycle of ABX-based chemotherapy in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from January 10th 2010 to May 14th 2012 was retrospectively analyzed. Results: A total of 47 cycles of ABX-containing regimens, with a median of 3 cycles (range: 1-8 cycles), were administered to 14 patients. Five (35.7%) partial responses and 6 (42.9%) stable diseases were obtained, with a disease control rate (DCR) of 78.6%. The median progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 3.3 and 10.8 months, respectively. Interestingly, patients in the first-line setting achieved a DCR of 100% (8/8). Neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were the main grade 3/4 adverse events with an incidence of 50% in the whole group. However, only 25% patients (2/8) experienced grade 3 neutropenia when ABX in combination with fluoropyrJmJdines. Conclusion: The activity of ABX-based regimens as first-line therapy for patients with AGC is remarkable, and the toxicity is mild when ABX combined with fluorepyrimidines. Further prospective clinical trials of ABX-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment for AGC are strongly anticipated.

文摘Currently, the efficacy of albumin-bound paclitaxel (PTX@Alb) is still limited due to theimpaired PTX@Alb accumulation in tumors partly mediated by the dense collagen distribution. Meanwhile,acquired immune resistance always occurs due to the enhanced programmed cell death-ligand 1(PD-L1) expression after PTX@Alb treatment, which then leads to immune tolerance. To fill these gaps,we newly revealed that tamoxifen (TAM), a clinically widely used adjuvant therapy for breast cancer withmitochondrial metabolism blockade capacity, could also be used as a novel effective PD-L1 and TGF-bdual-inhibitor via inducing the phosphorylation of adenosine 5ʹ-monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK) protein. Following this, to obtain a more significant effect, TPP-TAM was prepared by conjugatingmitochondria-targeted triphenylphosphine (TPP) with TAM, which then further self-assembledwith albumin (Alb) to form TPP-TAM@Alb nanoparticles. By doing this, TPP-TAM@Alb nanoparticleseffectively decreased the expression of collagen in vitro, which then led to the enhanced accumulation ofPTX@Alb in 4T1 tumors. Besides, TPP-TAM@Alb also effectively decreased the expression of PD-L1 and TGF-b in tumors to better sensitize PTX@Alb-mediated chemo-immunotherapy by enhancing T cellinfiltration. All in all, we newly put forward a novel mitochondrial metabolism blockade strategy toinhibit PTX@Alb-resistant tumors, further supporting its better clinical application。

文摘Nanoparticles with typical core-shell structure were prepared with a blend of methoxypoly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactide) copolymer (MPEG-PLA) and poly (lactic acid) (PLA) along with paclitaxel by the O/W solvent evaporation method. An orthogonal experiment L9(3)3 was applied to get the best preparation conditions. The core-shell paclitaxel-loaded MPEG-PLA/PLA nanoparticles with the highest drug loading efficiency were obtained when amount of MPEG-PLA, time of ultrasonication and volume of deionized water were 300 mg, 10 rain and 30 mL, respectively. The release behavior of paclitaxel from the optimal MPEG-PLA/PLA nanoparticles showed that 22% ofpaclitaxel was released in 14 d. When incubating with human nasopharyngeal carcinoma ceils expressing LMP 1, these optimal nanoparticles showed a little lower tumor growth compared with free paclitaxel.

文摘Nanoparticles have been widely applied in diagnosis and therapy due to the high loading of insoluble drug, increased target accumulation and interaction with biological tissues. Recently, severe side effects of nanoparticles have been reported, but the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. In our study, we aim to understand the safety of paclitaxel (PTX) loaded bovine albumin nanoparticles (BNPs) and active targeted PTX loaded BNPs to normal vital organ or tissue in vivo. The anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/neu) peptide mimetic (AHNP) was covalent bound to surface of BNPs (AHNP-BNPs) to exert selected delivery to HER2+ cells. In HER2+ tumor xenographs, saline (control), PTX traditional formula (medium of Cremophor EL-ethanol), BNPs, and AHNP-BNPs were administrated to evaluate the toxicity. There is no severe neutropenia or anemia with treatment of BNPs and AHNP-BNPs compared with traditional PTX injection. We also evaluated their damage on normal organs, including liver, kidney, spleen, lung and heart to fully estimate the safety of AHNP-BNPs and BNPs delivery systems. We observed similar toxicity in liver and lung in mice treated with BNPs or PTX injection, but decreased liver damage in mice treated with AHNP-BNPs. Further studies are rcouired to confirm our conclusion.
文摘目的:了解白蛋白紫杉醇(Nanoparticle Albumin Bound Paclitaxel,NAB-PTX)在医保患者中的临床使用以及报销情况,为NAB-PTX纳入医保支付后的报销管理提供参考。方法:结合《国家基本医疗保险、工伤保险和生育保险药品目录》(简称:《药品目录》),分析研究单位2021年9月至2022年2月NAB-PTX医保患者的临床使用及医保报销数据。对患者特征、疾病分布、药品用量、医保报销情况等进行描述性统计分析。采用Mann-Whiney U检验比较乳腺恶性肿瘤患者中NAB-PTX是否纳入报销对患者费用负担的影响。结果:医保患者使用NAB-PTX人次排名前三的疾病为乳腺恶性肿瘤、肺恶性肿瘤、食管恶性肿瘤。215人次符合医保支付条件,占使用总人次的7.19%。乳腺恶性肿瘤患者使用NAB-PTX排名前三的情况为乳腺癌术后辅助化疗、乳腺癌术前新辅助治疗、联合化疗失败的转移性乳腺癌。NAB-PTX纳入报销的患者自付费用与NAB-PTX未纳入报销的患者差异较大。结论:NAB-PTX在恶性肿瘤的治疗中应用广泛,2021年《药品目录》报销的覆盖范围有限,2022年《药品目录》取消NAB-PTX支付适应症限定后需要结合药品集中带量采购政策做好药物经济学评价以及基金支出预算分析。
