An orally bioavailable Chk1 inhibitor, CCT244747, sensitizes bladder and head and neck cancer cell lines to radiation.
Patel, R; Barker, HE; Kyula, J; McLaughlin, M; Dillon, MT; et al. (2017-03)Purpose Chk1 inhibition increases cell sensitivity to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy in several tumour types and is, therefore, a promising anti-cancer approach. Although several Chk1 inhibitors have been developed, ... -
An orally bioavailable Chk1 inhibitor, CCT244747, sensitizes bladder and head and neck cancer cell lines to radiation.
Patel, R; Barker, HE; Kyula, J; McLaughlin, M; Dillon, MT; et al. (ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2017-03-01)PURPOSE: Chk1 inhibition increases cell sensitivity to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy in several tumour types and is, therefore, a promising anti-cancer approach. Although several Chk1 inhibitors have been developed, ... -
ATR Inhibition Potentiates the Radiation-induced Inflammatory Tumor Microenvironment.
Dillon, MT; Bergerhoff, KF; Pedersen, M; Whittock, H; Crespo-Rodriguez, E; et al. (AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-06-01)PURPOSE: ATR inhibitors (ATRi) are in early phase clinical trials and have been shown to sensitize to chemotherapy and radiotherapy preclinically. Limited data have been published about the effect of these drugs on the ... -
Combined ATR and DNA-PK Inhibition Radiosensitizes Tumor Cells Independently of Their p53 Status.
Hafsi, H; Dillon, MT; Barker, HE; Kyula, JN; Schick, U; et al. (FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018-07-13)Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a significant cause of cancer deaths. Cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy is a standard of care for locally advanced disease. ATR and DNA-PK inhibition (DNA-PKi) are actively ... -
Differential and longitudinal immune gene patterns associated with reprogrammed microenvironment and viral mimicry in response to neoadjuvant radiotherapy in rectal cancer.
Wilkins, A; Fontana, E; Nyamundanda, G; Ragulan, C; Patil, Y; et al. (BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-03-01)BACKGROUND: Rectal cancers show a highly varied response to neoadjuvant radiotherapy/chemoradiation (RT/CRT) and the impact of the tumor immune microenvironment on this response is poorly understood. Current clinical tumor ... -
Harnessing radiotherapy-induced NK-cell activity by combining DNA damage-response inhibition and immune checkpoint blockade.
Patin, EC; Dillon, MT; Nenclares, P; Grove, L; Soliman, H; et al. (BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-03-01)BACKGROUND: Despite therapeutic gains from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in many tumor types, new strategies are needed to extend treatment benefits, especially in patients failing to mount effective antitumor T-cell ... -
HSP90 inhibition sensitizes head and neck cancer to platin-based chemoradiotherapy by modulation of the DNA damage response resulting in chromosomal fragmentation.
McLaughlin, M; Barker, HE; Khan, AA; Pedersen, M; Dillon, M; et al. (BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2017-01-31)BACKGROUND: Concurrent cisplatin radiotherapy (CCRT) is a current standard-of-care for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, CCRT is frequently ineffective in patients with advanced ... -
Inflammatory microenvironment remodelling by tumour cells after radiotherapy.
McLaughlin, M; Patin, EC; Pedersen, M; Wilkins, A; Dillon, MT; et al. (NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-04-01)The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is revolutionizing the way we think about cancer treatment. Even so, for most types of cancer, only a minority of patients currently benefit from ICI therapies. Intrinsic ... -
PATRIOT: A phase I study to assess the tolerability, safety and biological effects of a specific ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) inhibitor (AZD6738) as a single agent and in combination with palliative radiation therapy in patients with solid tumours.
Dillon, MT; Boylan, Z; Smith, D; Guevara, J; Mohammed, K; et al. (ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2018-08-01)PATRIOT is a phase I study of the ATR inhibitor, AZD6738, as monotherapy, and in combination with palliative radiotherapy. Here, we describe the protocol for this study, which opened in 2014 and is currently recruiting and ... -
Patritumab or placebo, with cetuximab plus platinum therapy in recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck: A randomised phase II study.
Forster, MD; Dillon, MT; Kocsis, J; Remenár, É; Pajkos, G; et al. (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019-12-01)BACKGROUND: The fully human monoclonal antibody patritumab blocks HER3 activation, a resistance mechanism to cetuximab, induced by heregulin (HRG). A phase Ib study in recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) squamous cell carcinoma ... -
Patritumab with Cetuximab plus Platinum-Containing Therapy in Recurrent or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck: An Open-Label, Phase Ib Study.
Dillon, MT; Grove, L; Newbold, KL; Shaw, H; Brown, NF; et al. (AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-01-15)PURPOSE: Patritumab plus cetuximab with platinum as first-line therapy for patients with recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) was evaluated for safety and to determine the ... -
PD-1 Blockade Following Isolated Limb Perfusion with Vaccinia Virus Prevents Local and Distant Relapse of Soft-tissue Sarcoma.

(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-06-01)PURPOSE: The prevention and treatment of metastatic sarcoma are areas of significant unmet need. Immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy has shown little activity in sarcoma and there is great interest in identifying novel ... -
