Emerging breakthroughs in targeted therapies warrant attention, including antisense oligonucleotides targeting MYB-NFIB fusion genes, clinical trial data of NOTCH inhibitors (e.g., AL101), and PARP inhibitor-based combinatorial regimens leveraging DNA damage repair mechanisms. By integrating fundamental research and clinical translational evidence, this review provides a theoretical framework for optimizing LGACC diagnosis and treatment paradigms.

NOTCH inhibitors demonstrate activity in NOTCH-activated ACC, surpassing the efficacy of observation or prior systemic therapies. However, limited PFS and progression of nontarget lesions suggest the potential need for combination therapy to address ACC heterogeneity.

*Inverse variance method, no transformation, 0.5 continuity correction. ORR: CR + PR; DCR: CR + PR + SD Conclusions AL101 showed acceptable safety and tolerability in ACC pts with Notchmut and a response rate comparable to pooled estimates for available therapies in pts regardless of Notch status.

Ni included AL101, a gamma-secretase inhibitor, or OMP-52M51, an antibody targeting N1...The efficacy of Ni compares favorably with efficacy of systemic therapies administered prior to Ni. The limited PFS and high rate of tumor progression on non-target lesions suggests Ni combination therapy may be necessary to address ACC heterogeneity.

Arbo represents a NOTCH2 mutated model that is useful in MCL as well as other lymphomas with such mutation. We plan to deposit Arbo at the ATCC to be available for the research community.

Low SP1 SUMOylation induces SNHG17 upregulation and blocks miR-23b-3p-induced Notch2 inhibition, contributing to the resistance of GC to DDP. This study may aid in the development of therapeutic targets overcoming the chemoresistance of GC.

Here, we describe the antitumor activity of AL101 using ACC cell lines, organoids, and patient-derived xenograft models. Specifically, we find that AL101 has potent antitumor effects in in vitro and in vivo models of ACC with activating NOTCH1 mutations and constitutively upregulated NOTCH signaling pathway, providing a strong rationale for evaluation of AL101 in clinical trials for patients with NOTCH-driven relapsed/refractory ACC.

Lastly, mice injected with Notch3 knock-down MM cells had a 50% decrease in tumor burden and a 50% reduction in osteolytic lesions than mice bearing control MM cells. Together, these findings identify Notch3 as a mediator of cell communication among MM cells and between MM cells and osteocytes in the MM tumor niche and warrant future studies to exploit Notch3 as a therapeutic target to treat MM.
