Effects of escitalopram/quetiapine combination therapy versus escitalopram monotherapy on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-axis activity in relation to antidepressant effectiveness.

In this context, the atypical antipsychotic quetiapine (QUE) has been shown to inhibit HPA system activity in healthy subjects. In this study we investigated whether the putative inhibitory effects of QUE on HPA system activity may contribute to its antidepressant efficacy. We analyzed the effects of QUE as an augmentation to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) escitalopram (ESC) on HPA system activity in comparison to a monotherapy with ESC in relation to the antidepressant effectiveness. HPA axis activity (cortisol and ACTH) was measured by means of the dexamethasone/corticotropin-releasing hormone (DEX/CRH) test which was performed before (week 0) and during (week 1, week 5) antidepressant psychopharmacotherapy. The combination therapy, but not the ESC monotherapy showed significantly inhibiting effects on HPA system activity leading to stepwise down-regulation. ACTH concentrations were reduced in the ESC/QUE group during five weeks of treatment. The inhibitory effect of QUE maybe involved in its antidepressant effects as an augmentation strategy.

High Response Rates and Prolonged Survival in Patients With Corticotroph Pituitary Tumors and Refractory Cushing Disease From Capecitabine and Temozolomide (CAPTEM): A Case Series.

Zacharia BE1, Gulati AP, Bruce JN, Carminucci AS, Wardlaw SL, Siegelin M, Remotti H, Lignelli A, Fine RL.Author information 1*Department of Neurological Surgery, ‡Experimental Therapeutics Program, Department of Medicine, Division of Medical Oncology, Pancreas Center at Columbia, §Department of Medicine, Neuroendocrine Unit, and ¶Department of Pathology, Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center, New York Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY.AbstractBACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Rarely, corticotrophic pituitary tumors take on an aggressive form characterized by rapid growth, invasion into local structures, compression of cranial nerves, and possible spread to distant sites. When conventional surgery, radiation therapy, and hormones fail to control progression and symptoms, alternative therapies are needed. A novel chemotherapeutic regimen of capecitabine and temozolomide (CAPTEM), originally designed in our laboratory, demonstrated dramatic antineoplastic effects against corticotrophic pituitary tumors.
