Biological Role of MYCN in Medulloblastoma: Novel Therapeutic Opportunities and Challenges Ahead.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-06-14)
The constitutive and dysregulated expression of the transcription factor MYCN has a central role in the pathogenesis of the paediatric brain tumour medulloblastoma, with an increased expression of this oncogene correlating ...
Clinical Benefit of Ripretinib Dose Escalation After Disease Progression in Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: An Analysis of the INVICTUS Study.
(WILEY, 2021-08-16)
BACKGROUND: Ripretinib 150 mg once daily (QD) is indicated for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) as at least fourth-line therapy. In INVICTUS, ripretinib intrapatient dose escalation (IPDE) to 150 mg b.i.d. ...
Treatment-free survival over extended follow-up of patients with advanced melanoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors in CheckMate 067.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-11-01)
BACKGROUND: Treatment-free survival (TFS) characterizes disease control after discontinuation of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) until subsequent therapy or death. We previously evaluated TFS in a pooled analysis of ...
Early Response to Chemotherapy in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Evaluated Using Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Initial Observations.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-12-01)
INTRODUCTION: We compared the magnetic resonance imaging total tumor volume (TTV) and median apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) before and at 4 weeks after chemotherapy, to evaluate ...
Biomarker Testing for People With Advanced Lung Cancer in England.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-06-01)
INTRODUCTION: Optimal management of people with advanced NSCLC depends on accurate identification of predictive markers. Yet, real-world data in this setting are limited. We describe the impact, timeliness, and outcomes ...
Severe Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Hepatitis in KRAS G12C-Mutant NSCLC Potentially Triggered by Sotorasib: Case Report.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-09-01)
Sotorasib is a first-in-class small molecule that irreversibly inhibits KRAS G12C, locking it in an inactive state, inhibiting oncogenic signaling, and inducing a proinflammatory microenvironment. Here, we report the first ...
Efficacy and Safety of Rociletinib Versus Chemotherapy in Patients With EGFR-Mutated NSCLC: The Results of TIGER-3, a Phase 3 Randomized Study.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-02-01)
INTRODUCTION: The TIGER-3 (NCT02322281) study was initiated to compare the efficacy and safety of rociletinib, a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that targets EGFR T790M and common EGFR-activating ...
Impairment of a distinct cancer-associated fibroblast population limits tumour growth and metastasis.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-06-10)
Profiling studies have revealed considerable phenotypic heterogeneity in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) present within the tumour microenvironment, however, functional characterisation of different CAF subsets is ...
A Phase II Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of the Dual mTORC1/2 and PI3K Inhibitor Bimiralisib (PQR309) in Relapsed, Refractory Lymphoma.
(WILEY, 2021-11-01)
Bimiralisib is an orally bioavailable pan-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor which has shown activity against lymphoma in preclinical models. This phase I/II study evaluated the ...
Hypofractionated radiotherapy in locally advanced bladder cancer: an individual patient data meta-analysis of the BC2001 and BCON trials.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-02-01)
BACKGROUND: Two radiotherapy fractionation schedules are used to treat locally advanced bladder cancer: 64 Gy in 32 fractions over 6·5 weeks and a hypofractionated schedule of 55 Gy in 20 fractions over 4 weeks. Long-term ...
