Pertuzumab in Combination with Trastuzumab Shows Significantly Enhanced Antitumor Activity in HER2-Positive Human Gastric Cancer Xenograft Models
Yoriko Yamashita-Kashima,Shigeyuki Iijima,Keigo Yorozu,Koh Furugaki,Mitsue Kurasawa,Masateru Ohta,Kaori Fujimoto-Ouchi +6 more
TL;DR: The clinical benefit of combination therapy with pertuzumab and trastuzumAB for patients with HER2-positive gastric cancers is suggested, through the potentiation of cell growth inhibition, apoptosis activity, cell killing activity by ADCC, and antiangiogenic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bevacizumab improves the delivery and efficacy of paclitaxel.
Mieko Yanagisawa,Keigo Yorozu,Mitsue Kurasawa,Kohnosuke Nakano,Koh Furugaki,Yoriko Yamashita,Kazushige Mori,Kaori Fujimoto-Ouchi +7 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that the synergistic antitumor activity of paclitaxel and bevacizumab in combination may be a result of the increase in pac litaxel concentration in tumor resulting from the downregulation of vascular permeability when co-administered with bevaccizumAB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bevacizumab counteracts VEGF-dependent resistance to erlotinib in an EGFR-mutated NSCLC xenograft model
Chinami Masuda,Mieko Yanagisawa,Keigo Yorozu,Mitsue Kurasawa,Koh Furugaki,Nobuyuki Ishikura,Toshiki Iwai,Masamichi Sugimoto,Kaname Yamamoto +8 more
TL;DR: The erlotinib plus bevacizumab combination demonstrated promising efficacy in the B901L xenograft model of EGFR Mut+ NSCLC and elucidated the mode of action of this combination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topoisomerase I inhibitor, irinotecan, depletes regulatory T cells and up-regulates MHC class I and PD-L1 expression, resulting in a supra-additive antitumor effect when combined with anti-PD-L1 antibodies.
TL;DR: Results indicate that irinotecan may enhance the effect of T cell activation caused by anti-PD-L1 treatment by reducing Tregs and augmenting MHC class I–mediated tumor antigen presentation, and concurrent upregulation of PD-L 1 expression can be blocked by the anti- PD- L1 antibody.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of bevacizumab in combination with erlotinib on EGFR‐mutated non–small cell lung cancer xenograft models with T790M mutation or MET amplification
Koh Furugaki,Junko Fukumura,Toshiki Iwai,Keigo Yorozu,Mitsue Kurasawa,Mieko Yanagisawa,Yoichiro Moriya,Kaname Yamamoto,Kenichi Suda,Hiroshi Mizuuchi,Tetsuya Mitsudomi,Naoki Harada +11 more
TL;DR: Adding BEV to ERL did not enhance antitumor activity in primarily ERL‐resistant tumors with T790M mutation; however, BEV+ERL enhanced antitumors activity in T790m mutation‐ or MET amplification‐positive tumors as long as their growth remained significantly suppressed by ERL.
