Phosphoproteomic Analysis Identified Mutual Phosphorylation of FAK and Src as a Mechanism of Osimertinib Resistance in < em > EGFR < /em > -Mutant Lung Cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Phosphoproteomic analysis may help elucidate the mechanisms of resistance to molecular-targeted therapies in lung cancer. Mutual phosphorylation of FAK and Src is involved in osimertinib resistance. Thus, FAK and Src inhibition may be novel treatment strategies for osimertinib-resistant NSCLC.PMID:38646155 | PMC:PMC11031815 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtocrr.2024.100668 (Source: Cell Research)

Expression of c-erb-B2 oncoprotein as a neoantigen strategy to repurpose anti-neu antibody therapy in a model of melanoma
In this study, we tested a novel approach of "repurposing" a biomarker typically associated with breast cancer for use in melanoma. HER2/neu is a well characterized biomarker in breast cancer for which effective anti-HER2/neu therapies are readily available. We constructed a lentivirus encoding c-erb-B2 (the animal homolog to HER2/neu). This was used to transfect B16 melanoma in vitro for use in an orthotopic preclinical mouse model, which resulted in expression of c-erb-B2 as a neoantigen target for anti-c-erb-B2 monoclonal antibody (7.16.4). The c-erb-B2-expressing melanoma was designated B16/neu. 7.16.4 produced statist...

Life Years Gained From the FDA Accelerated Approval Program in Oncology: A Portfolio Model
CONCLUSIONS: Policy discussions about the evaluation of AAP cannot be complete without assessing its impact on its most important target outcome: patient survival. To date, there has been no estimation of the life year gain delivered by the AAP. Our research shows that substantial number of life years were gained for patients with high unmet need by the cancer therapies approved through the program.PMID:38648848 | DOI:10.6004/jnccn.2024.7010 (Source: Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network : JNCCN)

Health Care Lobbying and Oncology
CONCLUSIONS: Although overall health sector lobbying has increased, physician/health professional lobbying has remained relatively stable in recent years, spending for lobbying by OPPOs has increased. Continued efforts to understand the utility and value of lobbying in health care and across oncology are needed as the costs of care continue to increase.PMID:38648846 | DOI:10.6004/jnccn.2023.7120 (Source: Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network : JNCCN)
