Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis in Patients With Cancer: American Society of Clinical Oncology and College of American Pathologists Joint Review.
(COLL AMER PATHOLOGISTS, 2018-03-05)
PURPOSE.—: Clinical use of analytical tests to assess genomic variants in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is increasing. This joint review from the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the College of American Pathologists ...
Plasma Cell-free DNA Concentration and Outcomes from Taxane Therapy in Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer from Two Phase III Trials (FIRSTANA and PROSELICA).
(ELSEVIER, 2018-09-01)
BACKGROUND: Noninvasive biomarkers are needed to guide metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treatment. OBJECTIVE: To clinically qualify baseline and on-treatment cell-free DNA (cfDNA) concentrations as ...
A Phase 1, open-label, multicentre study to compare the capsule and tablet formulations of AZD5363 and explore the effect of food on the pharmacokinetic exposure, safety and tolerability of AZD5363 in patients with advanced solid malignancies: OAK.
(SPRINGER, 2018-05-01)
PURPOSE: AZD5363 is a potent pan-AKT inhibitor originally formulated as a capsule; a tablet was developed for patient convenience and manufacturing ease. This study assessed the PK comparability of both formulations (Part A) ...
A rectal cancer feasibility study with an embedded phase III trial design assessing magnetic resonance tumour regression grade (mrTRG) as a novel biomarker to stratify management by good and poor response to chemoradiotherapy (TRIGGER): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2017-08-29)
BACKGROUND: Pre-operative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for MRI-defined, locally advanced rectal cancer is primarily intended to reduce local recurrence rates by downstaging tumours, enabling an improved likelihood of curative ...
Development and responses of brain metastases during treatment with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) for HER2 positive advanced breast cancer: A single institution experience.
(WILEY, 2018-05-01)
Ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-drug conjugate that does not cross an intact blood-brain barrier. In the EMILIA trial of T-DM1 vs capecitabine/lapatinib for HER2 positive advanced breast cancer, all patients ...
New tricks for an old dog: Brf2-dependent RNA Polymerase III transcription in oxidative stress and cancer.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2018-01-01)
Here, we discuss the role of Brf2, an RNA Polymerase III core transcription factor, as a master switch of the oxidative stress response. We highlight the interplay of Brf2 with the Nrf2/Keap1 pathway, as well as the role ...
RNA polymerase I, bending the rules?
(WILEY, 2017-09-15)
Transcription initiation is one of the key regulatory steps in expressing the genetic information encoded in the DNA. Mechanisms of RNA Pol II transcription have been extensively studied, whereas the structural basis of ...
Implementing diffusion-weighted MRI for body imaging in prospective multicentre trials: current considerations and future perspectives.
(SPRINGER, 2018-03-01)
UNLABELLED: For body imaging, diffusion-weighted MRI may be used for tumour detection, staging, prognostic information, assessing response and follow-up. Disease detection and staging involve qualitative, subjective ...
Evaluation of CDK12 Protein Expression as a Potential Novel Biomarker for DNA Damage Response-Targeted Therapies in Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-01-01)
Disruption of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 12 (CDK12) is known to lead to defects in DNA repair and sensitivity to platinum salts and PARP1/2 inhibitors. However, CDK12 has also been proposed as an oncogene in breast cancer. ...
Intratumoural evolutionary landscape of high-risk prostate cancer: the PROGENY study of genomic and immune parameters.
(ELSEVIER, 2017-10-01)
BACKGROUND: Intratumoural heterogeneity (ITH) is well recognised in prostate cancer (PC), but its role in high-risk disease is uncertain. A prospective, single-arm, translational study using targeted multiregion prostate ...
