New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
2. Introduction
Both metabolism and excretion can be viewed as processes responsible for
elimination of drug (parent and metabolite) from the body
Drug metabolism changes the chemical structure of a drug to produce a
drug metabolite, which is frequently but not universally less
pharmacologically active. Metabolism also renders the drug compound
more water soluble and therefore more easily excreted
3. Cont…
Pharmacologically active organic molecules tend to be lipophilic and
remain un-ionized or only partially ionized at physiologic pH; these are
readily reabsorbed from the glomerular filtrate in the nephron
Certain lipophilic compounds are often strongly bound to plasma
proteins and may not be readily filtered at the glomerulus
4. Cont…
Active drug to inactive metabolite; morphine, chloramphenicol
Active drug to active metabolite; diazepam
Inactive drug to active metabolite; codeine (CYP2D6 converts 5-10% to
morphine), levodopa, clopidogrel, omeprazole
5. Cont…
Drug metabolism reactions are carried out by enzyme systems, which can
be grouped into two categories:
1. Phase I oxidative or reductive enzymes
2. Phase II conjugative enzymes
6.
7. OXIDATIVE AND REDUCTIVE ENZYMES: PHASE
I REACTIONS
Functionalization reaction
Converts the parent drug to a more polar metabolite by introducing or
unmasking a functional group (–OH, –NH2, –SH)
Many drug-metabolizing enzymes are located in the lipophilic ER
membranes of the liver and other tissues
When these lamellar membranes are isolated by homogenization and
fractionation of the cell, they re-form into vesicles called microsomes
The smooth microsomes are relatively rich in enzymes responsible for
oxidative drug metabolism
8. Cont…
They contain the important class of enzymes known as the mixed
function oxidases (MFOs), or monooxygenases
The activity of these enzymes requires both a reducing agent
(nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate [NADPH]) and molecular
oxygen
In this oxidation-reduction process, two microsomal enzymes play a key
role; a flavoprotein, NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase. One mole of
this enzyme contains 1 mol each of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and
flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). The second microsomal enzyme is a
hemoprotein called cytochrome P450, which serves as the terminal
oxidase
9. Cytochrome P450 Enzymes
The cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzyme superfamily is the primary
phase I enzyme system involved in the oxidative metabolism of drugs and
other chemicals
These enzymes also are responsible for all or part of the metabolism and
synthesis of a number of endogenous compounds, such as steroid
hormones and prostaglandins
The name cytochrome P450 is derived from the spectral properties of this
hemoprotein. In its reduced (ferrous) form, it binds carbon monoxide to
give a complex that absorbs light maximally at 450 nm
The relative abundance of P450s in the liver, contributes to making P450
heme reduction a rate-limiting step in hepatic drug oxidations
10. Cont…
It is a group of related enzymes, each with its own substrate specificity
12 unique isoforms have been identified as playing a role in human drug
metabolism (57 isoforms have been identified)
More than one CYP isoform may be involved in the metabolism of a
particular drug. For example, the CCB verapamil is primarily metabolized
by CYP3A4, but CYPs 2C9, 2C8 and 2D6 participate to some degree
The more isoforms involved in the metabolism of a drug, the less likely
is a clinically significant drug interaction
11. Cont…
CYP3A4 is thought to be the most predominant CYP isoform involved in
human drug metabolism, both in terms of the amount of enzyme in the
liver and the variety of drugs that are substrates for this enzyme isoform
This isoform may account for more than 50% of all CYP-mediated drug
oxidation reactions
CYP3A4 is likely to be involved in the greatest number of drug–drug
interactions
12. Types of Oxidation Reactions Involved in
Enzymatic Drug Metabolism
Reaction Examples
Aliphatic and aromatic hydroxylation Ibuprofen, flurbiprofen
N-demethylation Morphine
O-demethylation Codeine
Epoxidation Carbamazepine
N-Oxidation Morphine
S-oxidation Sulindac
Deamination Amphetamine
13. Representative Drugs Metabolized by Each of the CYP
Isoforms in Human Drug Metabolism
CYP Isoform Examples of Substrates Comments
CYP1A1 Thought to be same as CYP1A2
CYP1A2 Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, caffeine, theophylline
CYP2A6 Nicotine,5-fluorouracil,coumarin
CYP2B6 Bupropion, cyclophosphamide, propofol
CYP2C8 Paclitaxel
CYP2C9 Phenytoin, warfarin, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs Polymorphic
CYP2C19 Omeprazole Polymorphic
CYP2D6 Tricyclic antidepressants, codeine,dextromethorphan, some -
blockers, some antipsychotics, some antiarrhythmics
Polymorphic
CYP2E1 Acetaminophen, chlorzoxazone
CYP3A4 Midazolam, triazolam, cyclosporine, erythromycin, HIV protease
inhibitors, calcium channel blockers
Polymorphic
CYP3A5 Thought to be same as CYP3A4 Polymorphic
CYP3A7 Unclear at this time but may be similar to CYP3A4
14. Regulation of the CYP Enzymes
CYP450 enzymes can be regulated by the presence of other drugs or by
disease states
This regulation can either decrease the enzyme function (enzyme
inhibition) or increase it (enzyme induction), depending on the
modulating agent
15. Enzyme Inhibition
It is the most frequently observed result of CYP modulation and is the
primary mechanism for drug–drug pharmacokinetic interactions
The most common type of inhibition is simple competitive inhibition,
wherein two drugs are vying for the same active site and the drug with the
highest affinity for the site wins out
In this scenario, addition of a second drug with greater affinity for the
enzyme inhibits metabolism of the primary drug, and an elevated primary
drug blood or tissue concentration is the result
16. Cont…
For example, ketoconazole and triazolam compete for binding to the
CYP3A4 active site
When given concomitantly, the metabolism of triazolam by the CYP3A4
enzyme (essentially the only enzyme that metabolizes triazolam) is
decreased to such a degree that the patient is exposed to 17 times as much
of parent triazolam as when ketoconazole is not present
Enzyme inhibition is associated with an increase in potential for toxicity
17. Representative Inhibitors for Each of the CYP
Isoforms Involved in Human Drug Metabolism
CYP Isoform Examples of Inhibitors
CYP1A1 Thought to be same as CYP1A2
CYP1A2 Amiodarone, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, fluvoxamine
CYP2A6 Tranylcypromine, methoxsalen
CYP2B6 Efavirenz, nelfinavir, ritonavir
CYP2C8 Probably similar to CYP2C9
CYP2C9 Amiodarone, fluconazole, fluvastatin, lovastatin, zafirlukast
CYP2C19 Cimetidine, ketoconazole, omeprazole, ticlopidine
CYP2D6 Amiodarone,cimetidine,fluoxetine,paroxetine,quinidine
CYP2E1 Disulfiram
CYP3A4 HIV antivirals (e.g.,Ritonavir), amiodarone, cimetidine, diltiazem,
erythromycina, grapefruit juice, ketoconazole
CYP3A5 Thought to be same as CYP3A4
CYP3A7 Unclear at this time but may be similar to CYP3A4
18. Enzyme Induction
Can be due either to synthesis of new enzyme protein or to a decrease in
the proteolytic degradation of the enzyme
Increased enzyme synthesis is the result of an increase in messenger RNA
(mRNA) production (transcription) or in the translation of mRNA into
protein
Regardless of the mechanism,the net result of enzyme induction is the
increased turnover (metabolism) of substrate
Enzyme induction is most commonly associated with therapeutic
failure due to inability to achieve required drug concentrations
19. Flavin Monooxygenases (FMOs)/ Ziegler's
enzyme
The FMOs are a family of five enzymes (FMO 1–5) that operate in a
manner analogous to the cytochrome P450 enzymes in that they oxidize
the drug compound in an effort to increase its elimination
Though they possess broad substrate specificity, in general they do not
play a major role in the metabolism of drugs but appear to be more
involved in the metabolism of environmental chemicals and toxins
Utilize FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) to oxidize its substrate
Chlorpromazine, amitriptyline, methimazole, propylthiouracil
20. CONJUGATIVE ENZYMES: PHASE II REACTIONS
Phase II conjugative enzymes metabolize drugs by attaching
(conjugating) a more polar molecule to the original drug molecule to
increase water solubility, thereby permitting more rapid drug excretion
This conjugation can occur following a phase I reaction involving the
molecule, but prior metabolism is not required. The phase II enzymes
typically consist of multiple isoforms, analogous to the CYPs, but to date
are less well defined
21. Glucuronosyl Transferases (UGTs)
UGTs conjugate the drug molecule with a glucuronic acid moiety, usually
through establishment of an ether, ester, or amide bond
The glucuronic acid moiety, being very water soluble, generally renders
the new conjugate more water soluble and thus more easily eliminated
Typically this conjugate is inactive, but sometimes it is active. For
example, UGT-mediated conjugation of morphine at the 6- position
results in the formation of morphine-6-glucuronide,which is 50 times as
potent an analgesic as morphine
UGTs are a superfamily of enzyme isoforms, each with differing substrate
specificities and regulation characteristics
22. N-Acetyltransferases (NAT)
NAT enzymes catalyze to a drug molecule the conjugation of an acetyl
moiety derived from acetyl coenzyme A, increasing water solubility and
elimination of the compound
The NATs identified to date and involved in human drug metabolism
include NAT-1 and NAT-2
Little overlap in substrate specificities of the two isoforms appears to exist
Little information exists on the regulation of the NAT enzymes, such as
whether they can be induced by chemicals. However, reports have
suggested that disease states such as AIDS may down-regulate NAT-2,
particularly during active disease
23. Sulfotransferases (SULTs) and
Methyltransferases (MTs)
SULTs are important for the metabolism of a number of drugs,
neurotransmitters, and hormones, especially the steroid hormones
MTs catalyze the methyl conjugation of a number of small molecules,
such as drugs, hormones, and neurotransmitters, but they are also
responsible for the methylation of such macromolecules as proteins, RNA,
and DNA
24. TISSUE SPECIFICITY OF HUMAN DRUG
METABOLISM ENZYMES
Most drug metabolism enzymes reside in the liver
All of the enzymes previously mentioned are found in the human liver,
but other tissues and organs may have some complement of these
enzymes
CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 have been found in the human gut and can
contribute to substantial metabolism of orally administered drugs, even
before the compound reaches the liver. Eg; CYP3A4 may play a substantial
role in the low bioavailability of cyclosporine. Drug-metabolizing
enzymes have also been found in measurable quantities in the kidney,
brain, placenta, skin, and lungs
25. Clinical Relevance Of Drug Metabolism
The dose and frequency of administration required to achieve effective
therapeutic blood and tissue levels vary in different patients because of
individual differences in drug distribution and rates of drug metabolism
and elimination
These differences are determined by genetic factors and nongenetic
variables such as age, sex, liver size, liver function, circadian rhythm,
body temperature, and nutritional and environmental factors such as
concomitant exposure to inducers or inhibitors of drug metabolism
26. Genetic Factors
Genetic factors can influence enzyme levels
The defects are apparently transmitted as autosomal recessive traits and
may be expressed at any one of the multiple metabolic transformations
that a chemical might undergo
Eg; Slow acetylator phenotype (occurs in about 50% in the USA); In
acetylation of isoniazid and the hydroxylation of warfarin. The defect in
slow acetylators (of isoniazid and similar amines) appears to be caused by
the synthesis of less of the enzyme rather than of an abnormal form of it
27. Diet & Environmental Factors
Cigarette smokers metabolize some drugs more rapidly than nonsmokers
because of enzyme induction
Industrial workers exposed to some pesticides metabolize certain drugs
more rapidly than nonexposed individuals
Grapefruit juice is known to inhibit the CYP3A metabolism of
coadministered drug substrates
Such differences make it difficult to determine effective and safe doses of
drugs that have narrow therapeutic indices
