Eprenetapopt in combination with carboplatin in high-grade ovarian and triple negative breast cancer cell lines with acquired resistance to olaparib. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Combining eprenetapopt with carboplatin shows promising preclinical efficacy by enhancing cytotoxicity in olaparib-resistant models and demonstrating synergistic interaction; these data support the combination as a potential strategy to mitigate PARPi resistance and carboplatin cross-resistance in TP53 mutant HGSOC and TNBC cell lines. Although further studies are needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the synergistic effect, here we point out the combination of eprenetapopt and carboplatin as a potential therapeutic strategy to address olaparib resistance in HGSOC and TNBC patients.

Durable response of anaplastic thyroid cancer to pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy: A case report. (PubMed, Hum Vaccin Immunother)
The patient was thereafter treated with a combination of pembrolizumab, nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin, resulting in a sustained near-complete response lasting over 30 months, accompanied by a manageable safety profile. The favorable response in this case suggests that further evaluation of this triplet regimen could be considered for anaplastic thyroid cancer, though this remains a speculative premise requiring validation. Further studies are also needed to clarify the underlying mechanisms of this combination and to identify predictive biomarkers for patient selection.

Prognostic impact of thyroid transcription factor-1 expression and the efficacy of carboplatin plus (nab-) paclitaxel in non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer complicated with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias. (PubMed, Transl Lung Cancer Res)
TTF-1 expression is an independent prognostic factor in patients with NS-NSCLC complicated by IIPs who received carboplatin plus (nab-) paclitaxel. TTF-1 expression may represent a valuable biomarker for characterizing the disease subtypes and guiding therapeutic strategies in lung cancer with coexisting IIPs.

Eicosapentaenoic Acid Suppresses Tumor Growth and Enhances Chemosensitivity via AKT/mTOR Signaling in Uterine Serous Carcinoma. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
EPA exhibits potent anti-tumor activity against USC cells and enhances the efficacy of carboplatin. These data indicate that EPA has potential as a low-toxicity, multi-target adjuvant treatment for USC, necessitating additional pre-clinical and clinical investigation.

ATR and PKMYT1 inhibition re-sensitize a subset of TNBC patient-derived models to carboplatin inducing mitotic catastrophe. (PubMed, Cancer Res Commun)
Inhibiting ATR with BAY1895344 or AZD6738 re-sensitized carboplatin-resistant PDXCs and PDXs to carboplatin, resulting in an increase in DNA damage, and apoptosis. Molecular factors associated with response to the ATR inhibitor/carboplatin combination included low RNA levels of PKMYT1. These results underscore the pivotal roles of ATR and PKMYT1 in mediating resistance to carboplatin in TNBC and support targeting these pathways to overcome carboplatin resistance in this disease.
