(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-01-01)BACKGROUND: Preclinical data suggest that concurrent treatment of anti-CD38 and antiprogrammed death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibodies substantially reduce primary tumor growth by reversing T-cell ... -
Targeting Cyclin-Dependent Kinases in Synovial Sarcoma: Palbociclib as a Potential Treatment for Synovial Sarcoma Patients.
(2016-09)Background In synovial sarcomas alterations in the cyclin D1-CDK4/6-Rb axis have been described. Also, β-catenin, a cyclin D1 regulator, is often overexpressed. Additionally, studies have shown that the t(X;18) translocation ... -
Targeting deficient DNA damage repair in gastric cancer.
(2016-09)Introduction Over recent years our understanding of DNA damage repair has evolved leading to an expansion of therapies attempting to exploit DNA damage repair deficiencies across multiple solid tumours. Gastric cancer has ... -
Targeting DNA damage response in oesophagogastric cancers
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-05-30)A subset of patients with oesphophagogastric (OG) adenocarcinomas are characterised by homologous recombination repair deficiency (HRD), providing the rationale for poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) therapy ... -
Targeting DNA Repair in Cancer: Beyond PARP Inhibitors.
(2017-01)Germline aberrations in critical DNA-repair and DNA damage-response (DDR) genes cause cancer predisposition, whereas various tumors harbor somatic mutations causing defective DDR/DNA repair. The concept of synthetic lethality ... -
Targeting synovial fibroblast proliferation in rheumatoid arthritis (TRAFIC): an open-label, dose-finding, phase 1b trial.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-05-01)BACKGROUND: Current rheumatoid arthritis therapies target immune inflammation and are subject to ceiling effects. Seliciclib is an orally available cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor that suppresses proliferation of synovial ... -
Targeting the inflammatory response in advanced prostate cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2024-05-20)Prostate cancer is a leading cause of male cancer mortality. Despite inflammation being implicated in prostate cancer initiation and progression, patient outcomes have been minimally impacted by immunotherapies that have ... -
Targeting the Intrinsic Apoptosis Pathway: A Window of Opportunity for Prostate Cancer.
(MDPI, 2021-12-23)Despite major improvements in the management of advanced prostate cancer over the last 20 years, the disease remains invariably fatal, and new effective therapies are required. The development of novel hormonal agents and ... -
Targeting the p300/CBP Axis in Lethal Prostate Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-05-01)Resistance to androgen receptor (AR) blockade in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is associated with sustained AR signaling, including through alternative splicing of AR (AR-SV). Inhibitors of transcriptional ... -
Targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis in non-small cell lung cancer.
The last decade has witnessed rapid advances in the discovery and development of immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer medicine, particularly drugs targeting programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligand ... -
Telemedicine During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Impact on Care for Rare Cancers.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2020-06-01)PURPOSE: Many patients with cancer, often those with rare cancers such as sarcomas, travel long distances to access expert care. The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated widespread changes in delivery of cancer care, including ... -
"Tell me what is 'better'!" How medical students experience feedback, through the lens of self-regulatory learning.
(BMC, 2023-11-22)INTRODUCTION: While feedback aims to support learning, students frequently struggle to use it. In studying feedback responses there is a gap in explaining them in relation to learning theory. This study explores how feedback ... -
Ten-Year Progression-Free and Overall Survival in Patients With Unresectable or Metastatic GI Stromal Tumors: Long-Term Analysis of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer, Italian Sarcoma Group, and Australasian Gastrointestinal Trials Group Intergroup Phase III Randomized Trial on Imatinib at Two Dose Levels.
(2017-05)Purpose To report on the long-term results of a randomized trial comparing a standard dose (400 mg/d) versus a higher dose (800 mg/d) of imatinib in patients with metastatic or locally advanced GI stromal tumors (GISTs). ... -
Ten-Year Results of FAST: A Randomized Controlled Trial of 5-Fraction Whole-Breast Radiotherapy for Early Breast Cancer.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2020-10-01)PURPOSE: Previous studies of hypofractionated adjuvant whole-breast radiotherapy for early breast cancer established a 15- or 16-fraction (fr) regimen as standard. The FAST Trial (CRUKE/04/015) evaluated normal tissue ... -
The 111 Study: A Single-arm, Phase 3 Trial Evaluating One Cycle of Bleomycin, Etoposide, and Cisplatin as Adjuvant Chemotherapy in High-risk, Stage 1 Nonseminomatous or Combined Germ Cell Tumours of the Testis.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-11-26)BACKGROUND: Standard management in the UK for high-risk stage 1 nonseminoma germ cell tumours of the testis (NSGCTT) is two cycles of adjuvant bleomycin, etoposide (360 mg/m2), and cisplatin (BE360P) chemotherapy, or ... -
The adaptive designs CONSORT extension (ACE) statement: a checklist with explanation and elaboration guideline for reporting randomised trials that use an adaptive design.
(BMC, 2020-06-17)Adaptive designs (ADs) allow pre-planned changes to an ongoing trial without compromising the validity of conclusions and it is essential to distinguish pre-planned from unplanned changes that may also occur. The reporting ... -
