Phase II, Open-Label, Randomized, Multicenter Trial (HERBY) of Bevacizumab in Pediatric Patients With Newly Diagnosed High-Grade Glioma.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2018-04-01)Purpose Bevacizumab (BEV) is approved in more than 60 countries for use in adults with recurrent glioblastoma. We evaluated the addition of BEV to radiotherapy plus temozolomide (RT+TMZ) in pediatric patients with newly ... -
Phenotypic and functional analysis of malignant mesothelioma tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2019-09-02)Given the growing interest and promising preliminary results of immunotherapy in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), it has become important to more fully understand the immune landscape in this tumor. This may be ... -
Phenotypic diversity of circulating tumour cells in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
(WILEY, 2017-11-01)OBJECTIVES: To use a non-biased assay for circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) in order to identify non-traditional CTC phenotypes potentially excluded by conventional detection methods ... -
Physicians, paraproteins and progress: diagnosis and management of myeloma.
(MA HEALTHCARE LTD, 2019-02-02)Myeloma outcomes have improved dramatically over the last decade as a result of novel therapies, several of which are now commonly continued to disease relapse. Physicians who do not work in haematology are therefore more ... -
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 ... -
Pineoblastoma segregates into molecular sub-groups with distinct clinico-pathologic features: a Rare Brain Tumor Consortium registry study.
(SPRINGER, 2020-02-01)Pineoblastomas (PBs) are rare, aggressive pediatric brain tumors of the pineal gland with modest overall survival despite intensive therapy. We sought to define the clinical and molecular spectra of PB to inform new treatment ... -
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 ... -
Plasma Metabolomic Changes following PI3K Inhibition as Pharmacodynamic Biomarkers: Preclinical Discovery to Phase I Trial Evaluation.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-06-01)PI3K plays a key role in cellular metabolism and cancer. Using a mass spectrometry-based metabolomics platform, we discovered that plasma concentrations of 26 metabolites, including amino acids, acylcarnitines, and ... -
Polypharmacology in Precision Oncology: Current Applications and Future Prospects.
(BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTD, 2017-01-24)Over the past decade, a more comprehensive, large-scale approach to studying cancer genetics and biology has revealed the challenges of tumor heterogeneity, adaption, evolution and drug resistance, while systems-based ... -
PPM1D mutations are oncogenic drivers of de novo diffuse midline glioma formation.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-02-01)The role of PPM1D mutations in de novo gliomagenesis has not been systematically explored. Here we analyze whole genome sequences of 170 pediatric high-grade gliomas and find that truncating mutations in PPM1D that increase ... -
PPM1D mutations silence NAPRT gene expression and confer NAMPT inhibitor sensitivity in glioma.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2019-08-22)Pediatric high-grade gliomas are among the deadliest of childhood cancers due to limited knowledge of early driving events in their gliomagenesis and the lack of effective therapies available. In this study, we investigate ... -
