Persistent DNA strand breaks induce a CAF-like phenotype in normal fibroblasts.
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2018-03-02)Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are an emerging target for cancer therapy as they promote tumour growth and metastatic potential. However, CAF targeting is complicated by the lack of knowledge-based strategies aiming ... -
Phase I Trial of First-in-Class ATR Inhibitor M6620 (VX-970) as Monotherapy or in Combination With Carboplatin in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2020-06-22)PURPOSE: Preclinical studies demonstrated that ATR inhibition can exploit synthetic lethality (eg, in cancer cells with impaired compensatory DNA damage responses through ATM loss) as monotherapy and combined with DNA-damaging ... -
Phase I Trial of the PARP Inhibitor Olaparib and AKT Inhibitor Capivasertib in Patients with BRCA1/2- and Non-BRCA1/2-Mutant Cancers.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-10-01)Preclinical studies have demonstrated synergy between PARP and PI3K/AKT pathway inhibitors in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2)-deficient and BRCA1/2-proficient tumors. We conducted an investigator-initiated phase I trial utilizing ... -
Phase Ia/b Study of Giredestrant ± Palbociclib and ± Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone Agonists in Estrogen Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative, Locally Advanced/Metastatic Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2024-02-16)PURPOSE: Giredestrant is an investigational next-generation, oral, selective estrogen receptor antagonist and degrader for the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. We present the primary analysis ... -
PHIP - a novel candidate breast cancer susceptibility locus on 6q14.1.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2017-11-28)Most non-BRCA1/2 breast cancer families have no identified genetic cause. We used linkage and haplotype analyses in familial and sporadic breast cancer cases to identify a susceptibility locus on chromosome 6q. Two independent ... -
Phosphoproteomic Profiling Reveals ALK and MET as Novel Actionable Targets across Synovial Sarcoma Subtypes.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-08-15)Despite intensive multimodal treatment of sarcomas, a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors arising from connective tissue, survival remains poor. Candidate-based targeted treatments have demonstrated limited clinical ... -
PIK3CA mutation enrichment and quantitation from blood and tissue.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-10-13)PIK3CA is one of the two most frequently mutated genes in breast cancers, occurring in 30-40% of cases. Four frequent 'hotspot' PIK3CA mutations (E542K, E545K, H1047R and H1047L) account for 80-90% of all PIK3CA mutations ... -
PIM1 kinase regulates cell death, tumor growth and chemotherapy response in triple-negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-11-01)Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) have poor prognosis and lack targeted therapies. Here we identified increased copy number and expression of the PIM1 proto-oncogene in genomic data sets of patients with TNBC. TNBC ... -
Plasma ESR1 Mutations and the Treatment of Estrogen Receptor-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer.
(2016-09)Purpose ESR1 mutations are selected by prior aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy in advanced breast cancer. We assessed the impact of ESR1 mutations on sensitivity to standard therapies in two phase III randomized trials that ... -
Polygenic risk modeling for prediction of epithelial ovarian cancer risk.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2022-03-01)Polygenic risk scores (PRS) for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) have the potential to improve risk stratification. Joint estimation of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) effects in models could improve predictive performance ... -
Polygenic Risk Scores for Prediction of Breast Cancer and Breast Cancer Subtypes.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-01-03)Stratification of women according to their risk of breast cancer based on polygenic risk scores (PRSs) could improve screening and prevention strategies. Our aim was to develop PRSs, optimized for prediction of estrogen ... -
Polθ inhibitors elicit BRCA-gene synthetic lethality and target PARP inhibitor resistance.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-06-17)To identify approaches to target DNA repair vulnerabilities in cancer, we discovered nanomolar potent, selective, low molecular weight (MW), allosteric inhibitors of the polymerase function of DNA polymerase Polθ, including ... -
Preclinical evaluation of the PARP inhibitor BMN-673 for the treatment of ovarian clear cell cancer.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2017-01-24)PURPOSE: To determine if models of ovarian clear cell carcinomas (OCCCs) harbouring defects in homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair of double strand breaks (DSBs) are sensitive to cisplatin and/or PARP inhibition. ... -
Predicting Relapse with Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis in Lung Cancer.
(2017-12)Advances in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis are revealing new treatment strategies for patients with cancer. Detection of residual disease with ctDNA analysis predicts relapse with high accuracy after treatment for ... -
Predicting response to radical (chemo)radiotherapy with circulating HPV DNA in locally advanced head and neck squamous carcinoma.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2017-09-05)BACKGROUND: Following chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) for human papilloma virus positive (HPV+) locally advanced head and neck cancer, patients frequently undergo unnecessary neck dissection (ND) and/or repeated biopsies for ... -
