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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Clinical BRCA1/2 Reversion Analysis Identifies Hotspot Mutations and Predicted Neoantigens Associated with Therapy Resistance.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-10-01)
Reversion mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 are associated with resistance to PARP inhibitors and platinum. To better understand the nature of these mutations, we collated, codified, and analyzed more than 300 reversions. This ...
Defective ALC1 nucleosome remodeling confers PARPi sensitization and synthetic lethality with HRD.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-02-18)
Chromatin is a barrier to efficient DNA repair, as it hinders access and processing of certain DNA lesions. ALC1/CHD1L is a nucleosome-remodeling enzyme that responds to DNA damage, but its precise function in DNA repair ...
Biomarkers Associating with PARP Inhibitor Benefit in Prostate Cancer in the TOPARP-B Trial.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-11-01)
PARP inhibitors are approved for treating advanced prostate cancers (APC) with various defective DNA repair genes; however, further studies to clinically qualify predictive biomarkers are warranted. Herein we analyzed ...
HNF4A and GATA6 Loss Reveals Therapeutically Actionable Subtypes in Pancreatic Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2020-05-12)
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can be divided into transcriptomic subtypes with two broad lineages referred to as classical (pancreatic) and squamous. We find that these two subtypes are driven by distinct metabolic ...
Sirtuin inhibition is synthetic lethal with BRCA1 or BRCA2 deficiency.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-11-08)
PARP enzymes utilise NAD+ as a co-substrate for their enzymatic activity. Inhibition of PARP1 is synthetic lethal with defects in either BRCA1 or BRCA2. In order to assess whether other genes implicated in NAD+ metabolism ...
Functional annotation of the 2q35 breast cancer risk locus implicates a structural variant in influencing activity of a long-range enhancer element.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-07-01)
A combination of genetic and functional approaches has identified three independent breast cancer risk loci at 2q35. A recent fine-scale mapping analysis to refine these associations resulted in 1 (signal 1), 5 (signal 2), ...
