Common dermatological side-effects associated with erlotinib, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), include pruritus and skin rash, which are mediated by substance P, leading to the occasional discontinuation of cancer ...

Investigation of the mechanisms and modulation of irinotecan‐induced emesis in Suncus murinus
Abstract Background and Purpose Irinotecan is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent that frequently causes nausea and emesis. Its emetic mechanism of action is poorly understood and the choice of drugs to reduce nausea and emesis is largely empirical. Experimental Approach Using Suncus murinus, we examined (i) the dose–response and temporal profile of ...

Abstract Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) has a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Aprepitant, a selective NK-1R antagonist, is capable of inhibiting the growth of various tumors in vitro and in vivo. To investigate the cytotoxic effects of aprepitant on the intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, we confirmed the expression of SP/NK ...

Scalp Dysesthesia: Emerging Pathophysiologic Insights and Therapeutic Implications
Scalp dysesthesia is a chronic condition diagnosed through exclusion. This scoping review synthesized data from 59 patients to identify recurrent clinical features, comorbidities, and management strategies that may support earlier diagnosis. Emerging patterns suggest that neuronal sensitization may underlie common symptoms.

Chemotherapy‐induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) remains a significant clinical problem despite modern antiemetics. In particular, antiemetic strategies for emerging cancer therapies lack detailed evaluation. This randomized trial analyzed hourly CINV data for patients with early breast cancer who received either docetaxel plus cyclophosphamide (TC) or ...

Safety evaluation of aprepitant for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting
INTRODUCTION: Aprepitant is the only neurokinin (NK(1)) receptor antagonist (RA) approved for prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). Aprepitant is co-administered with a 5-HT(3) RA and a corticosteroid. Although aprepitant is safe,

Articles Aprepitant for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in children: a randomised, double-blind, phase 3 trial [PDF]
Summary Background Oral aprepitant, a neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist, is recommended in combination with other antiemetic agents for the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy in adults, but its ...

Cancer Neuroscience: From Local Neuro–Immune Microenvironments to Systemic Brain–Body Circuitry
This review outlines the cancer neuroscience paradigm, spanning systemic brain–body circuitry and local neuro–immune–tumor microenvironments. We discuss how tumors promote axonogenesis and pseudo‐synapse formation, and how sensory neuropeptides, such as CGRP, contribute to CD8+ T‐cell exhaustion.

A sensitive and rapid liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the quantification of the novel neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist aprepitant in rhesus macaque plasma, and cerebral spinal fluid, and human plasma with application in translational NeuroAIDs research [PDF]
A sensitive and rapid liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method has been developed for to assess therapeutic exposures of aprepitant in HIV-infected patients and rhesus macaques. The method utilized a simple sample-preparation procedure of protein precipitation with methanol. Chromatographic separation was performed on a reversed phase C(8)
