Impact of extended insurance coverage on survival outcomes among patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in Taiwan

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Predetermined treatment duration limits (PTDLs) are often used by Taiwan's National Health Insurance Administration to contain healthcare costs, but they may compromise patient outcomes. Therefore, we studied Taiwan's 2017 extension of the bevacizumab PTDL from 24 to 36 weeks in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) to evaluate whether prolonged ...

ABCB1 Genetic Variants as Predictors of Irinotecan-Induced Severe Gastrointestinal Toxicity in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Irinotecan is widely used in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) despite its severe toxicities. Toxicity is often associated with the UGT1A1*28/*28 genotype.

From anthelmintic to neuro‐oncology: A systematic review of mebendazole repurposing for brain tumour therapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Mebendazole (MBZ), a benzimidazole anthelmintic with established clinical use, has emerged as a repurposing candidate for primary brain tumours due to its multimodal anticancer actions and central nervous system penetrance. This systematic review synthesizes preclinical and clinical evidence evaluating MBZ's efficacy, mechanisms of action ...

P-glycoprotein-dependent pharmacokinetics of irinotecan and its active metabolite, SN-38 in rats: Effect of verapamil

ADMET and DMPK, 2015
We have recently demonstrated that the oral bioavailability of irinotecan (80 mg/kg) can be increased at least 7-fold by co-administration of the P-gp blocker verapamil (25 mg/kg, Oral).

UGT1A1 genotype testing for irinotecan: A guideline developed by the UK Centre of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation in Pharmacogenomics (CERSI‐PGx)

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Irinotecan, a topoisomerase I inhibitor, is available as both non‐pegylated and pegylated formulations. The non‐pegylated formulation is licensed for use in advanced colorectal cancer either in combination with other agents or as monotherapy.

Exceptional response to lurbinectedin and irinotecan in -mutated platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patient: a case report

Therapeutic Advances in Chronic Disease, 2022
Lurbinectedin is responsible for DNA recognition and binding, producing double-strand DNA (dsDNA) breaks thus resulting in apoptosis. Sensitivity to lurbinectedin is linked to the nucleotide excision repair (NER) system.

Payload‐Based Clinical Pharmacology Review of Approved Antibody–Drug Conjugates: Commonalities and Considerations for Streamlined Development

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) combine the specificity of an antibody with the potency of a cytotoxic drug. Thirteen ADCs, utilizing seven unique cytotoxic payloads and targeting 11 distinct antigens, are currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as of June 2025, representing a rapidly growing and highly promising class of anticancer ...
