Resistance mechanisms and countermeasures in CLDN18.2-positive tumors: from molecular networks to clinical practice

A central argument about treatment sequencing is advanced: because CLDN18.2 expression declines progressively under therapeutic pressure, continuous target-plus-chemotherapy acts on an eroding antigen substrate, for patients with high, homogeneous baseline expression, an early intensive induction followed by CLDN18.2-d...

Penpulimab: A Next-Generation Fc-Engineered PD-1 Inhibitor in Cancer Immunotherapy.

Penpulimab (AK105) is a novel Fc-engineered, humanised IgG₁ monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1). Unlike conventional PD-1 inhibitors, penpulimab has been designed to eliminate Fcγ receptor and complement C1q binding, thereby reducing Fc-mediated effector functions while maintaining anti...

Beyond mitotane: next-generation therapeutic landscapes in adrenocortical carcinoma

The clinical management of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) has long been defined by its resistance to conventional therapies. Since the FIRM-ACT trial established the combination of etoposide, doxorubicin, and cisplatin plus mitotane (EDP-M) as the frontline standard, overall survival for metastatic patients has remaine...

Lurbinectedin in the therapeutic landscape of SCLC: key clinical evidence and evolving role in the era of emerging therapies.

Despite recent therapeutic advances, durable disease control in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) remains challenging, particularly after relapse following platinum-based chemo-immunotherapy. Lurbinectedin, a selective inhibitor of oncogenic transcription, has emerged as a novel therapeutic agent with a distinct mechanism...
