In brief
Solid tumors pose significant challenges in current therapeutic approaches. Targeted therapy has emerged as a promising avenue, aiming to enhance treatment efficacy while minimizing adverse effects. This clinical trial focuses on an innovative combination of two targeted inhibitors, Palbociclib and Bevacizumab, for their potential synergistic effects in addressing these challenging malignancies. Moreover, this study incorporates a molecular approach by considering Long Non-Coding RNAs (LncRNAs) as biomarkers. Initiating with a focus on colorectal cancer, the study aims to expand its scope to other solid tumors, including lung, breast, ovarian and other cancers. Palbociclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor, disrupts the cell cycle progression, particularly in cancer cells with specific molecular characteristics. Bevacizumab, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor, targets angiogenesis-a critical process for tumor growth and metastasis. The rationale behind combining these agents lies in their complementary mechanisms of action, potentially leading to enhanced antitumor effects. LncRNAs have shown promise in predicting treatment response and prognosis in various cancers, providing an additional layer of precision to the treatment strategy. By elucidating the molecular basis through LncRNA analysis, the trial aims to tailor the treatment to the specific molecular profile of each patient, ultimately striving for better outcomes and improved survival rates. This novel combination therapy, coupled with a personalized biomarker-driven approach, represents a cutting-edge strategy in the pursuit of more effective and individualized treatment for solid tumors.
