Tumour-agnostic drugs in paediatric cancers.
The recognition that new cancer drugs can be truly tumour-agnostic based on mechanism-of-action is important for paediatric cancers, where access to novel targeted therapies developed for adult indications has sometimes ...
GDNF-RET signaling in ER-positive breast cancers is a key determinant of response and resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2013-06-15)
Most breast cancers at diagnosis are estrogen receptor-positive (ER(+)) and depend on estrogen for growth and survival. Blocking estrogen biosynthesis by aromatase inhibitors has therefore become a first-line endocrine ...
CDK1 Is a Synthetic Lethal Target for KRAS Mutant Tumours.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-02-16)
Activating KRAS mutations are found in approximately 20% of human cancers but no RAS-directed therapies are currently available. Here we describe a novel, robust, KRAS synthetic lethal interaction with the cyclin dependent ...
Pazopanib in patients with advanced intermediate-grade or high-grade liposarcoma.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019-07-03)
Introduction: Liposarcomas (LPS) are a heterogeneous group of adipocytic soft tissue sarcomas with limited treatment options in the advanced/metastatic setting. Pazopanib is a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) ...
ALK2 inhibitors display beneficial effects in preclinical models of ACVR1 mutant diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-05-09)
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a lethal childhood brainstem tumour, with a quarter of patients harbouring somatic mutations in ACVR1, encoding the serine/threonine kinase ALK2. Despite being an amenable drug ...
Noninvasive MRI Native T1 Mapping Detects Response to MYCN-targeted Therapies in the Th-MYCN Model of Neuroblastoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-08-15)
Noninvasive early indicators of treatment response are crucial to the successful delivery of precision medicine in children with cancer. Neuroblastoma is a common solid tumor of young children that arises from anomalies ...
In Vivo Modeling of Chemoresistant Neuroblastoma Provides New Insights into Chemorefractory Disease and Metastasis.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-10-15)
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer that is frequently metastatic and resistant to conventional treatment. In part, a lack of natively metastatic, chemoresistant in vivo models has limited our insight into the development ...
Circulating tumour DNA analysis to direct therapy in advanced breast cancer (plasmaMATCH): a multicentre, multicohort, phase 2a, platform trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-10-01)
BACKGROUND: Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) testing might provide a current assessment of the genomic profile of advanced cancer, without the need to repeat tumour biopsy. We aimed to assess the accuracy of ctDNA testing ...
ABC-transporter upregulation mediates resistance to the CDK7 inhibitors THZ1 and ICEC0942.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-01-01)
The CDK7 inhibitors (CDK7i) ICEC0942 and THZ1, are promising new cancer therapeutics. Resistance to targeted drugs frequently compromises cancer treatment. We sought to identify mechanisms by which cancer cells may become ...
The landscape of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in sarcomas: looking beyond pazopanib.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019-10-30)
Introduction: Tyrosine kinases are key mediators of intracellular signaling cascades and aberrations in these proteins have been implicated in driving oncogenesis through the dysregulation of fundamental cellular processes ...
