Intensity-modulated fractionated radiotherapy versus stereotactic body radiotherapy for prostate cancer (PACE-B): acute toxicity findings from an international, randomised, open-label, phase 3, non-inferiority trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2019-09-17)BACKGROUND: Localised prostate cancer is commonly treated with external-beam radiotherapy. Moderate hypofractionation has been shown to be non-inferior to conventional fractionation. Ultra-hypofractionated stereotactic ... -
Docetaxel Treatment in PTEN- and ERG-aberrant Metastatic Prostate Cancers.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-05-01)BACKGROUND: Loss of PTEN is a common genomic aberration in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and is frequently concurrent with ERG rearrangements, causing resistance to next-generation hormonal treatment (NGHT) ... -
Consensus Statement on Circulating Biomarkers for Advanced Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-06-01)CONTEXT: In advanced prostate cancer (PC), there is increasing investigation of circulating biomarkers, including quantitation and characterization of circulating tumour cells and cell-free nucleic acids, for therapeutic ... -
CRISPR screens identify genomic ribonucleotides as a source of PARP-trapping lesions.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-07-12)The observation that BRCA1- and BRCA2-deficient cells are sensitive to inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) has spurred the development of cancer therapies that use these inhibitors to target deficiencies in ... -
A decade of clinical development of PARP inhibitors in perspective.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-09-01)Genomic instability is a hallmark of cancer, and often is the result of altered DNA repair capacities in tumour cells. DNA damage repair defects are common in different cancer types; these alterations can also induce ... -
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 ... -
Surrogate endpoints in advanced sarcoma trials: a meta-analysis.
(2018-10-02)Background Alternative endpoints to overall survival (OS) are frequently used to assess treatment efficacy in randomized controlled trials (RCT). Their properties in terms of surrogate outcomes for OS need to be assessed. ... -
Safety and efficacy of Pazopanib in advanced soft tissue sarcoma: PALETTE (EORTC 62072) subgroup analyses.
(2019-08-13)Background PALETTE is a phase 3 trial that demonstrated single-agent activity of pazopanib in advanced soft tissue sarcomas (aSTS). We performed retrospective subgroup analyses to explore potential relationships between ... -
When to keep it simple - adaptive designs are not always useful.
(BMC, 2019-12-01)BACKGROUND: Adaptive designs are a wide class of methods focused on improving the power, efficiency and participant benefit of clinical trials. They do this through allowing information gathered during the trial to be used ... -
An immunotherapy survivor population: health-related quality of life and toxicity in patients with metastatic melanoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
(SPRINGER, 2020-02-01)PURPOSE: The immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have resulted in subgroups of patients with metastatic melanoma achieving high-quality durable responses. Metastatic melanoma survivors are a new population in the era of ... -
Alternative splicing in prostate cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-11-01)Androgen receptor (AR) splice variants (AR-Vs) have been implicated in the development and progression of metastatic prostate cancer. AR-Vs are truncated isoforms of the AR, a subset of which lack a ligand-binding domain ... -
Quality assuring "Plan of the day" selection in a multicentre adaptive bladder trial: Implementation of a pre-accrual IGRT guidance and assessment module.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2019-11-01)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hypofractionated bladder RT with or without image guided adaptive planning (HYBRID) is a multicentre clinical trial investigating "Plan of the Day" (PoD) adaptive radiotherapy for bladder cancer. ... -
Spatially constrained tumour growth affects the patterns of clonal selection and neutral drift in cancer genomic data.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-07-29)Quantification of the effect of spatial tumour sampling on the patterns of mutations detected in next-generation sequencing data is largely lacking. Here we use a spatial stochastic cellular automaton model of tumour growth ... -
Imaging Diagnosis and Follow-up of Advanced Prostate Cancer: Clinical Perspectives and State of the Art.
(RADIOLOGICAL SOC NORTH AMERICA (RSNA), 2019-08-01)The management of advanced prostate cancer has changed substantially with the availability of multiple effective novel treatments, which has led to improved disease survival. In the era of personalized cancer treatments, ... -
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 ... -
Clinical Utility of Circulating Tumour Cell Androgen Receptor Splice Variant-7 Status in Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-11-01)BACKGROUND: Detection of androgen receptor splice variant-7 (AR-V7) mRNA in circulating tumour cells (CTCs) is associated with worse outcome in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). However, studies ... -
Cediranib in patients with alveolar soft-part sarcoma (CASPS): a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised, phase 2 trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2019-07-01)BACKGROUND: Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma that is unresponsive to chemotherapy. Cediranib, a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor, has shown substantial activity in ASPS in non-randomised studies. ... -
Genomic correlates of clinical outcome in advanced prostate cancer.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2019-06-04)Heterogeneity in the genomic landscape of metastatic prostate cancer has become apparent through several comprehensive profiling efforts, but little is known about the impact of this heterogeneity on clinical outcome. Here, ... -
Differences in Signaling Patterns on PI3K Inhibition Reveal Context Specificity in KRAS-Mutant Cancers.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-08-01)It is increasingly appreciated that drug response to different cancers driven by the same oncogene is different and may relate to differences in rewiring of signal transduction. We aimed to study differences in dynamic ...
