Health economic impact of liquid biopsies in cancer management.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2018-11-02)
Liquid biopsies (LBs) are referred to as the sampling and analysis of non-solid tissue, primarily blood, as a diagnostic and monitoring tool for cancer. Because LBs are largely non-invasive, they are a less-costly alternative ...
Phase I studies of AZD1208, a proviral integration Moloney virus kinase inhibitor in solid and haematological cancers.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-05-01)
BACKGROUND: Proviral integration Moloney virus (PIM) kinases (PIM1, 2 and 3) are overexpressed in several tumour types and contribute to oncogenesis. AZD1208 is a potent ATP-competitive PIM kinase inhibitor investigated ...
Practice-changing radiation therapy trials for the treatment of cancer: where are we 150 years after the birth of Marie Curie?
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-14)
As we mark 150 years since the birth of Marie Curie, we reflect on the global advances made in radiation oncology and the current status of radiation therapy (RT) research. Large-scale international RT clinical trials have ...
A phase I study to assess afatinib in combination with carboplatin or with carboplatin plus paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors.
(SPRINGER, 2018-11-01)
PURPOSE: Afatinib, an irreversible ErbB family blocker, has demonstrated preclinical antitumor activity with chemotherapy. METHODS: As part of a phase I trial in patients with advanced solid tumors (NCT00809133; 3 + 3 ...
A First-Time-in-Human Study of GSK2636771, a Phosphoinositide 3 Kinase Beta-Selective Inhibitor, in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-10-01)
Background: The PI3K/protein kinase B (AKT) pathway is commonly activated in several tumor types. Selective targeting of p110β could result in successful pathway inhibition while avoiding the on- and off-target effects of ...
First-in-Human Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Study of the Dual m-TORC 1/2 Inhibitor AZD2014.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2015-08-01)
PURPOSE: AZD2014 is a novel, oral, m-TORC 1/2 inhibitor that has shown in vitro and in vivo efficacy across a range of preclinical human cancer models. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A rolling six-dose escalation was performed to ...
AKT Inhibition in Solid Tumors With AKT1 Mutations.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2017-07-10)
Purpose AKT1 E17K mutations are oncogenic and occur in many cancers at a low prevalence. We performed a multihistology basket study of AZD5363, an ATP-competitive pan-AKT kinase inhibitor, to determine the preliminary ...
Empowerment in adolescents and young adults with cancer: Relationship with health-related quality of life.
(WILEY, 2017-10-15)
BACKGROUND: The difficulties adolescents and young adults (AYAs) encounter during a cancer experience may result in a reduction in or absence of empowerment. The aims of the current study were to assess levels of empowerment ...
Phase 1/2a trial of intravenous BAL101553, a novel controller of the spindle assembly checkpoint, in advanced solid tumours.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-08-03)
BACKGROUND: BAL101553 (lisavanbulin), the lysine prodrug of BAL27862 (avanbulin), exhibits broad anti-proliferative activity in human cancer models refractory to clinically relevant microtubule-targeting agents. METHODS: ...
Effect of delays in the 2-week-wait cancer referral pathway during the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer survival in the UK: a modelling study.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-08-01)
BACKGROUND: During the COVID-19 lockdown, referrals via the 2-week-wait urgent pathway for suspected cancer in England, UK, are reported to have decreased by up to 84%. We aimed to examine the impact of different scenarios ...
