Relevant pharmacological interactions between alkylating agents and antiepileptic drugs: Preclinical and clinical data

Federico Cucchiara et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the interactions between alkylating agents and AEDs, providing guidance for rational treatment optimization to improve patients' quality of life. Clinicians should avoid using enzyme-inducing AEDs with alkylating agents and carefully monitor therapeutic drug levels to prevent adverse reactions.

MGMT promoter methylation testing to predict overall survival in people with glioblastoma treated with temozolomide: a comprehensive meta-analysis based on a Cochrane Systematic Review

Sebastian Brandner et al.

Summary: In this study, different techniques for measuring MGMT in glioblastoma patients treated with temozolomide were compared, with Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) and pyrosequencing (PSQ) found to be more prognostic than immunohistochemistry. The study did not provide strong evidence on the optimal use of frozen tissue vs formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues or the best CpG sites or threshold. Therefore, further research is needed to determine the most effective methods for predicting survival in these patients.
