Postoperatively, despite sequential treatment with bromocriptine and cabergoline (maximum approved dose of 3 mg/week), prolactin levels failed to normalize. Dopamine agonists remain the first-line therapy for both giant and cystic prolactinomas. Early surgical intervention is indicated for vision-threatening conditions or in cases of dopamine agonist resistance.
Patient 2, 48-year-old male with a significant macroadenoma and prior cabergoline treatment, achieved partial biochemical control. Four out of these five patients showed reduction in tumour size. This case series corroborates the findings from previous studies, adding insight into treatment challenges and benefits experienced by this heterogeneous group of patients on pasireotide.

Notably, pimozide exhibited anti-tumor effects as a monotherapy and in combination with paclitaxel at clinically relevant doses. While tumor volume reduction in the combination group was not statistically greater than that in the monotherapy group, fluorescence immunohistochemistry revealed a marked decrease in undifferentiated tumor cells, indicating enhanced therapeutic effects of combination treatment. Taken together, these findings indicate that pimozide is a promising candidate for repurposing as a novel therapeutic agent against HNSCC.

Dordaviprone (ONC201) and its chemical derivative with nanomolar potency, ONC206, induce apoptosis of cancer cells by activation of the mitochondrial caseinolytic protease P (ClpP). We also saw that ONC206 very significantly prolonged survival of medulloblastoma-bearing mice, both in genetically engineered mouse models and patient-derived xenografts. Our study provides a strong rationale for testing the efficacy of ONC206 in the treatment of patients with medulloblastoma and has set the stage for a clinical trial with this agent in pediatric patients with recurrent malignant brain tumors, including medulloblastoma ( NCT04732065 ).
