This method was further successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of BPI-43487 capsules in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors. http://www.chinadrugtrials.org.cn is CTR20210565).

In this study, we designed a series of FGFR4-targeted peptide-radionuclide conjugates (PRCs) based on a high-affinity peptide ligand derived from the binding epitope of the monoclonal antibody U3-1784...In xenograft models, this probe demonstrated high uptake (1.89 ± 0.35% ID/g) and produced high-contrast images specifically in high-FGFR4-expressing tumors. These results indicate that 99mTc-HYNIC-FYQ-8 is a promising peptide-based radiotracer for clinical imaging of FGFR4-overexpressing tumors.

The FGF19/ERK/IL-8 pathway contributed to NET formation in this model. Targeting this pathway represents a promising strategy to boost immunotherapy in MSS CRC.

This two-step strategy may represent a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of therapy-resistant PDAC through senescence induction and subsequent senolysis.

These findings indicate that H3B-6527 enhances gastric cancer sensitivity to oxaliplatin by amplifying DNA damage and disrupting cell survival pathways. This study provides a rationale for clinical trials targeting FGFR4 in gastric cancer.

The FGF401/everolimus combination effectively suppressed tumor cell proliferation; promoted apoptosis; reduced tumor hypoxia via blood vessel normalization; and downregulated key proteins involved in proliferation, survival, metastasis, and angiogenesis. These preclinical findings provide a strong rationale for clinical trials combining FGFR4 and mTOR inhibitors in HCC patients with FGF19/FGFR4/mTOR-dependent tumors.
