ATR Inhibition Potentiates the Radiation-induced Inflammatory Tumor Microenvironment.
Dillon, MT; Bergerhoff, KF; Pedersen, M; Whittock, H; Crespo-Rodriguez, E; Patin, EC; Pearson, A; Smith, HG; Paget, JTE; Patel, RR; Foo, S; Bozhanova, G; Ragulan, C; Fontana, E; Desai, K; Wilkins, AC; Sadanandam, A; Melcher, A; McLaughlin, M; Harrington, KJ (2019-06)<h4>Purpose</h4>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 ... -
Combined ATR and DNA-PK Inhibition Radiosensitizes Tumor Cells Independently of Their p53 Status.
Hafsi, H; Dillon, MT; Barker, HE; Kyula, JN; Schick, U; Paget, JT; Smith, HG; Pedersen, M; McLaughlin, M; Harrington, KJ (2018-01)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 ... -
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; Mansfield, DC; Patel, R; Kyula, JN; Bhide, SA; Newbold, KL; Nutting, CM; Harrington, KJ (2017-01-31)<h4>Background</h4>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 ... -
Human Papillomavirus-Negative Pharyngeal Cancer.
Dillon, MT; Harrington, KJ (2015-10)Human papillomavirus-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) carries a poor prognosis, and despite optimal treatment with chemoradiotherapy to the limit of tolerance, many patients will relapse. A number of ... -
Inflammatory microenvironment remodelling by tumour cells after radiotherapy.
McLaughlin, M; Patin, EC; Pedersen, M; Wilkins, A; Dillon, MT; Melcher, AA; Harrington, KJ (2020-04)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 ... -
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; Schick, U; Hafsi, H; Thompson, A; Khoo, V; Harrington, K; Zaidi, S (2017-03)<h4>Purpose</h4>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 ... -
An orally bioavailable Chkl inhibitor, CCT244747, sensitizes bladder and head and neck cancer cell lines to radiation
Patel, R; Barker, HE; Kyula, J; McLaughlin, M; Dillon, MT; Schick, U; Hafsi, H; Thompson, A; Khoo, V; Harrington, K; Zaidi, S (2017-03) -
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; Peckitt, C; Saunders, M; Banerji, U; Clack, G; Smith, SA; Spicer, JF; Forster, MD; Harrington, KJ (2018-08)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; Rolland, F; Greenberg, J; Harrington, KJ (2019-12)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; Mendell, J; Chen, S; Beckman, RA; Jennings, A; Ricamara, M; Greenberg, J; Forster, M; Harrington, KJ (2019-01)<h4>Purpose</h4>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 ... -
PD-1 Blockade Following Isolated Limb Perfusion with Vaccinia Virus Prevents Local and Distant Relapse of Soft-tissue Sarcoma.
Smith, HG; Mansfield, D; Roulstone, V; Kyula-Currie, JN; McLaughlin, M; Patel, RR; Bergerhoff, KF; Paget, JT; Dillon, MT; Khan, A; Melcher, A; Thway, K; Harrington, KJ; Hayes, AJ (2019-06)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 ... -
The PERK Inhibitor GSK2606414 Enhances Reovirus Infection in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma via an ATF4-Dependent Mechanism.
McLaughlin, M; Pedersen, M; Roulstone, V; Bergerhoff, KF; Smith, HG; Whittock, H; Kyula, JN; Dillon, MT; Pandha, HS; Vile, R; Melcher, AA; Harrington, KJ (2020-03)Reovirus type 3 Dearing (reovirus) is a tumor-selective oncolytic virus currently under evaluation in clinical trials.
