The study by Moyer and colleagues demonstrated that RXR agonists, particularly IRX4204, delay tumor onset in BRCA1-deficient and triple-negative mouse models, suggesting a potential preventive role through immunomodulation...A rational next step may be to carefully design window-of-opportunity trials in BRCA1 carriers undergoing risk-reducing bilateral mastectomy to assess biomarker modulation and tolerability.

ER (Estrogen receptor) • BRCA1 (Breast cancer 1, early onset)
In this study, we tested whether nuclear retinoid X receptor (RXR) ago-nists, IRX4204 and 9cUAB30, which have been evaluated in clinical trials, could prevent the de-velopment of ER-negative and triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs). Biomarker analysis revealed that delayed tumors arising after IRX4204 treatment had decreased Ki-67 expression and increased infiltration of cytotoxic T-cells. Our pre-clinical study data support the further evaluation of use of RXR agonists for the prevention of TNBC.

This review suggests that HP/TAZ is a valuable option for the topical treatment of severe hyperkeratotic plaques through its additive mechanisms targeting inflammation and keratinocyte regulation.
While selumetinib is FDA-approved for PNFs, its efficacy in MPNSTs is limited and associated with dose-limiting toxicities. These findings suggest RXR agonists may have therapeutic potential against NF1, and their combination with MEK inhibitors could represent a promising strategy for NF1-associated tumors. Further studies are needed to validate these results and assess their translational relevance.
