PARP inhibitor combination therapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2016-12-01)
In 2014, olaparib (Lynparza) became the first PARP (Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase) inhibitor to be approved for the treatment of cancer. When used as single agents, PARP inhibitors can selectively target tumour cells with ...
Minimizing bias in target selection by exploiting multidisciplinary Big Data and the protein interactome.
(FUTURE SCI LTD, 2016-09-01)
Structural basis of N-Myc binding by Aurora-A and its destabilization by kinase inhibitors.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2016-11-29)
Myc family proteins promote cancer by inducing widespread changes in gene expression. Their rapid turnover by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is regulated through phosphorylation of Myc Box I and ubiquitination by the E3 ...
Combining Molecularly Targeted Agents: Is More Always Better?
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-03-01)
The concurrent targeting of critical nodes along key signaling pathways with molecularly targeted agents is a rational antitumor strategy, which has had varying degrees of success. Combinatorial challenges include overcoming ...
Maximising the potential of AKT inhibitors as anti-cancer treatments.
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2017-04-01)
PI3K/AKT signalling is commonly disrupted in human cancers, with AKT being a central component of the pathway, influencing multiple processes that are directly involved in tumourigenesis. Targeting AKT is therefore a highly ...
A phase I study of afatinib combined with paclitaxel and bevacizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors.
(SPRINGER, 2017-01-01)
PURPOSE: The combination of afatinib, an irreversible ErbB family blocker, with paclitaxel and bevacizumab was assessed in patients with advanced solid tumors. METHODS: This phase I study used a 3 + 3 design to determine ...
Molecular or Metabolic Reprograming: What Triggers Tumor Subtypes?
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-09-15)
Tumor heterogeneity is reflected and influenced by genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic differences in cancer cells and their interactions with a complex microenvironment. This heterogeneity has resulted in the stratification ...
Starting the fight in the tumor: expert recommendations for the development of human intratumoral immunotherapy (HIT-IT).
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018-11-01)
A European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO)-sponsored expert meeting was held in Paris on 8 March 2018 which comprised 11 experts from academia, 11 experts from the pharmaceutical industry and 2 clinicians who were ...
A study of 1088 consecutive cases of electrolyte abnormalities in oncology phase I trials.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-11-01)
BACKGROUND: The incidence and clinical significance of electrolyte abnormalities (EAs) in phase I clinical trials are unknown. The objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence and severity of EAs, graded according ...
Health-related quality of life among cancer patients in their last year of life: results from the PROFILES registry.
(SPRINGER, 2018-10-01)
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the last year of life of cancer patients stratified by four periods of time before death. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 2008 and 2015, ...
