Epirubicin dose and sequential hormonal therapy-Mature results of the HMFEC randomised phase III trial in premenopausal patients with node positive early breast cancer.
(2016-06)BACKGROUND:The hormonal manipulation 5-Fluoro-uracil Epirubicin Cyclophosphamide (HMFEC) trial was developed at a time of uncertainty around the dose intensity of chemotherapy given to premenopausal patients with node ... -
Heterocellular gene signatures reveal luminal-A breast cancer heterogeneity and differential therapeutic responses.
(2019-01)Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease. Although differences between intrinsic breast cancer subtypes have been well studied, heterogeneity within each subtype, especially luminal-A cancers, requires further ... -
Standard and hypofractionated dose escalation to intraprostatic tumour nodules in localised prostate cancer: efficacy and toxicity in the DELINEATE trial.
(2019-12-05)PURPOSE:To report a planned analysis of the efficacy and toxicity of dose escalation to the intraprostatic dominant nodule identified on multiparametric MRI (mp-MRI) using standard and hypofractionated external beam ... -

Clinical significance of DNA methylation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients: results from 3 UK clinical trials
(American Society of Hematology, 2019-08-27)<jats:title>Key Points</jats:title> <jats:p>DNA methylation signatures can be used to divide IGHV-mutated CLL into clinically relevant subgroups. The memory-like DNA methylation subgroup is an independent marker of prolonged ... -
Identifying Biomarkers to Pair with Targeting Treatments within Triple Negative Breast Cancer for Improved Patient Stratification.
(2019-11-25)The concept of precision medicine has been around for many years and recent advances in high-throughput sequencing techniques are enabling this to become reality. Within the field of breast cancer, a number of signatures ... -
Evaluating a digital tool for supporting breast cancer patients: a randomized controlled trial protocol (ADAPT).
(2020-01-15)BACKGROUND:There are a growing number of mHealth tools for breast cancer patients but a lack of scientific evidence for their effects. Recent studies have shown a mix of positive and negative impacts on users. Here we will ... -
Biomarker-guided trials: Challenges in practice.
(2019-12)Biomarker-guided trials have drawn considerable attention as they promise to lead to improvements in the benefit-risk ratio of treatments and enhanced opportunities for drug development. A variety of such designs have been ... -
Targeting cyclooxygenase by indomethacin decelerates progression of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a xenograft model.
(2019-11)Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) develops in the bone marrow in the vicinity of stromal cells known to promote tumor development and treatment resistance. We previously showed that the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor ... -
The Role of MicroRNA in Paediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia: Challenges for Diagnosis and Therapy.
(2019-01)Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common cancer of childhood. Although the overall survival of children with ALL is now more than 90%, leukaemia remains one of the leading causes of death from disease. In ... -
Patient-reported Quality of Life Outcomes in Patients Treated for Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer with Radiotherapy ± Chemotherapy in the BC2001 Phase III Randomised Controlled Trial.
(2019-12-13)BACKGROUND:BC2001, the largest randomised trial of bladder-sparing treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, demonstrated improvement of local control and bladder cancer-specific survival from the addition of concomitant ... -
Examining the sources of occupational stress in an emergency department.
(2016-12)Previous work has established that health care staff, in particular emergency department (ED) personnel, experience significant occupational stress but the underlying stressors have not been well quantified. Such data ... -
Implementing the EffTox dose-finding design in the Matchpoint trial.
(2017-07-20)The Matchpoint trial aims to identify the optimal dose of ponatinib to give with conventional chemotherapy consisting of fludarabine, cytarabine and idarubicin to chronic myeloid leukaemia patients in blastic transformation ... -
Embracing model-based designs for dose-finding trials.
(2017-07)BACKGROUND:Dose-finding trials are essential to drug development as they establish recommended doses for later-phase testing. We aim to motivate wider use of model-based designs for dose finding, such as the continual ... -
Ruxolitinib vs best available therapy for ET intolerant or resistant to hydroxycarbamide.
(2017-10)Treatments for high-risk essential thrombocythemia (ET) address thrombocytosis, disease-related symptoms, as well as risks of thrombosis, hemorrhage, transformation to myelofibrosis, and leukemia. Patients resistant/intolerant ... -
Viability testing and transplantation of marginal livers (VITTAL) using normothermic machine perfusion: study protocol for an open-label, non-randomised, prospective, single-arm trial.
(2017-11-28)INTRODUCTION:The use of marginal or extended criteria donor livers is increasing. These organs carry a greater risk of initial dysfunction and early failure, as well as inferior long-term outcomes. As such, many are rejected ... -
Dose Transition Pathways: The Missing Link Between Complex Dose-Finding Designs and Simple Decision-Making.
(2017-12)The ever-increasing pace of development of novel therapies mandates efficient methodologies for assessment of their tolerability and activity. Evidence increasingly support the merits of model-based dose-finding designs ... -
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and autologous CD133-positive stem-cell therapy in liver cirrhosis (REALISTIC): an open-label, randomised, controlled phase 2 trial.
(2018-01)BACKGROUND:Results of small-scale studies have suggested that stem-cell therapy is safe and effective in patients with liver cirrhosis, but no adequately powered randomised controlled trials have been done. We assessed the ...
