London, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVIM (Oncology) Volume 24, Number 3, August 2009 Volume 24, Number 3, August 2009 Substantial progress in the field of molecular biology has permitted the identification of key abnormalities in cancer cells involving cell proteins that regulate signal transduction, cell survival, and cell proliferation. Such abnormalities often involve a class of proteins called tyrosine kinases that act to phosphorylate other proteins in the cell, tightly regulating a variety of cellular processes. A variety of small molecule inhibitors that target specific tyrosine kinases (known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors [TKIs]) have now been approved for the treatment of human cancer, and it is likely many more will become available in the near future. In some instances these inhibitors have exhibited significant clinical efficacy, and it is likely their biologic activity will be further enhanced as combination regimens with standard treatment modalities are explored. Although TKIs have been used extensively in humans, their application to cancers in dogs and cats is relatively recent. The TKIs Palladia (toceranib), Kinavet (masitinib), and Gleevec (imatinib) have been successfully used in dogs, and more recently Gleevec in cats. This article will review the biology of tyrosine kinase dysfunction in human and animal cancers, and the application of specific TKIs to veterinary cancer patients. © 2009 Elsevier Inc.

They are key players in normal cell signal transduction, acting to tightly regulate cell growth and differentiation. Tyrosine kinases bind adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and use this to add phosphate groups to key residues on themselves (termed “autophosphorylation”) and on other molecules, resulting in the generation of intracellular signaling, ultimately leading to alterations in gene transcription that impact cell proliferation and survival (reviewed in1). This process is usually initiated in response to external signals generated from growth factors or other stimuli that begin the cascade of tyrosine phosphorylation. Protein kinases may be located at the cell surface, in the cytoplasm, or in the nucleus.

The median dose was 2.8 mg kg−1 for dogs that experienced SD and the median dose was 2.8 mg kg−1 for dogs with PR/CR. These data did not differ from the 20 dogs that experienced PD: the median dose of toceranib was 2.8 mg kg−1 , 13 (59%) were dosed on a MWF basis and 14 (64%) received less than 3 mg kg−1 . Influence of metronomic treatments Figure 4. Regression of oral SCC after toceranib therapy. A Metronomic therapy is now being used in canine cancer therapy as part of a variety of therapeutic regimens. As previously mentioned, this generally involves the use of an NSAID and a chemotherapeutic given at a low dose continuously. The chemotherapeutic agent typically used is cyclophosphamide at 10–12 mg m−1 .2 In this Palladia en AGASACA y TC • En estudios previos, Toceranib tuvo unas respuestas parciales del 25% en AGASACA y carcinoma 1roideo (TC).

Carlsten, C.A. London, S. Haney, R. Burnett, A.C. Avery, and D.H. Thamm Background: Mast cell tumors (MCT) are common cutaneous tumors in dogs and when not amenable to surgical excision can present a therapeutic challenge. New treatment protocols for unresectable MCT are needed. Hypothesis: The combination of toceranib, prednisone, and hypofractionated radiation treatment (RT) will be well tolerated and efficacious. Animals: Seventeen client-owned dogs with measurable MCT amenable to RT. Methods: Prospective clinical trial. All dogs received prednisone, omeprazole, diphenhydramine, and toceranib. Toceranib was administered for 1 week before initiating RT, consisting of 24 Gy delivered in 3 or 4 fractions. Results: On an intent-to-treat basis, the overall response rate was 76.4%, with 58.8% of dogs achieving a complete response and 17.6% a partial response. The median time to best response was 32 days, and the median progression-free interval was 316 days. The overall median survival time was not reached with a median follow-up of 374 days. The most common toxicoses were gastrointestinal and hepatic. Conclusions and Clinical Importance: The combination of hypofractionated RT, toceranib, and prednisone was tolerated and efficacious in the majority of dogs. Response rates and durations were higher than those reported for toceranib as a single-agent treatment for MCT. This combination is a viable treatment option for unresectable MCT.

Hypothesis: The primary objectives of this study were to determine the effects of toceranib and metronomic CYC treatporcentaje de Treg en la sangre periférica, con un incremento ment on lymphocyte subsets including Treg and on interferon-gamma (IFN-c) secretion in dogs with cancer. We hypothesized that toceranib would selectively decrease Tregenumbers and increase IFN-c production and that addition of CYC concomitante e n i nterferon-‐g n e l s uero. would further enhance these effects. Animals: Fifteen client-owned dogs with advanced tumors were entered into a prospective clinical trial. Methods: Dogs received toceranib at 2.75 mg/kg once every other day. After 2 weeks, oral CYC was added at 15 mg/ 2 m daily. Numbers of Treg and lymphocyte subsets were measured in blood by flow cytometry during the 8-week study period. Serum concentrations of IFN-c were measured by ELISA. Results: Administration of toceranib significantly decreased the number and percentage of Treg in the peripheral blood of dogs with cancer. Dogs receiving toceranib and CYC demonstrated a significant increase in serum concentrations of IFN-c, which was inversely correlated with Treg numbers after 6 weeks of combination treatment. Conclusions: In addition to antitumor effects, these data support further investigations into the immunomodulatory effects of toceranib, administered alone or in combination with CYC in dogs with cancer.

Complete remission occurred in 2 of 10 dogs and lasted for median 85 days. Five dogs went into partial remission for median 60.5 days. Three pretreated dogs did not respond to therapy. Side effects occurred in six dogs and were mostly mild to moderate. Immunohistochemistry was available for eight dogs. KIT receptor was negative in all of them, six of eight lymphomas stained strongly positive for stem cell factor (SCF). platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AA was weakly positive in two and negative in six. PDGF-BB was negative in four tumours, weakly positive in one and strongly positive in three. One was strongly positive for PDGF receptor (PDGFR)-𝛽, seven were negative for that receptor. Five showed strong expression of PDGFR-𝛼, two showed weak expression, one was negative. In conclusion, masitinib is effective in treating canine epitheliotropic lymphoma. But its effects are most likely not generated through the KIT receptor.

Medical records were reviewed from seven institutions. Patients with incomplete medical records and those receiving concurrent chemotherapy or NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) were excluded. Fifty-five cats met the inclusion criteria. Carcinoma was diagnosed in 55% of cases. Median oral toceranib dose was 2.7 mg kg−1 and was most commonly administered on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Thrombocytopenia (16.3%) and neutropenia (9.1%) were the most common haematologic toxicities. Azotemia (14.5%) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevations (7.2%) were the most frequently encountered biochemical alterations. Gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity was seen in 21.8% of cats, and was lower than previously reported in dogs. The results of this study showed that treatment of cats with toceranib is well-tolerated and toxicity is uncommon. Additional studies to define a more structured dosing schedule and to evaluate the efficacy of toceranib in the treatment of feline cancers are needed.
