Exploiting the CRL4-CRBM E3 ubiquitin ligase complex for the development of iTAG: a versatile targeted protein degradation system to enable functional evaluation and target validation
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-02-28)
Modulating target protein expression to probe for its relevance and function in a disease is critical in the drug discovery process of target validation. Current genetic methods and chemico-biology tools are widely employed ...
Multidisciplinary interventions in a specialist Drug Development Unit to improve family history documentation and onward referral of patients with advanced cancer to cancer genetics services.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Molecular aberrations in cancer may represent therapeutic targets, and, if arising from the germline, may impact further cancer risk management in patients and their blood relatives. Annually, 600-700 patients ...
Structure-based development of new RAS-effector inhibitors from a combination of active and inactive RAS-binding compounds.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2019-02-12)
The RAS gene family is frequently mutated in human cancers, and the quest for compounds that bind to mutant RAS remains a major goal, as it also does for inhibitors of protein-protein interactions. We have refined ...
Accelerating drug development for neuroblastoma: Summary of the Second Neuroblastoma Drug Development Strategy forum from Innovative Therapies for Children with Cancer and International Society of Paediatric Oncology Europe Neuroblastoma.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020-09-01)
Only one class of targeted agents (anti-GD2 antibodies) has been incorporated into front-line therapy for neuroblastoma since the 1980s. The Neuroblastoma New Drug Development Strategy (NDDS) initiative commenced in 2012 ...
Bromodomain and extra-terminal inhibitors-A consensus prioritisation after the Paediatric Strategy Forum for medicinal product development of epigenetic modifiers in children-ACCELERATE.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-02-16)
Based on biology and pre-clinical data, bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibitors have at least three potential roles in paediatric malignancies: NUT (nuclear protein in testis) carcinomas, MYC/MYCN-driven cancers and ...
Leveraging Human Genetics to Guide Cancer Drug Development.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2018-11-21)
PURPOSE: The high attrition rate of cancer drug development programs is a barrier to realizing the promise of precision oncology. We have examined whether the genetic insights from genome-wide association studies of cancer ...
