Gene-expression assays to tailor adjuvant endocrine therapy for HR+/HER2- breast cancer
Clin Cancer Res. 2024 Apr 24. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-4020. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdjuvant endocrine therapy represents the standard of care for almost all HR+/HER2- breast cancers and different agents and durations are currently available. In this context, the tailoring and optimization of adjuvant endocrine treatment by reducing unnecessary toxic treatment while taking into account the biological heterogeneity of HR+/HER2- breast cancer represents a clinical priority. There is therefore a significant need for the integration of biological biomarkers in the choice of adjuvant endocrine therapy beyond current...

A First-in-Human Phase 1 Study of a Tumor-Directed RNA-Interference Drug against HIF2 α in Patients with Advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: ARO-HIF2 downregulated HIF2α in advanced ccRCC-inhibiting tumor growth in a subset of subjects. Further development was hampered by off-target neurotoxicity and low response rate. This study provides proof of concept that siRNA can target tumors in a specific manner.PMID:38652038 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3029 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

FLT3 agonists and secondary hematopoietic malignancies: a potential class effect
Clin Cancer Res. 2024 Apr 23. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-24-0460. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExpansion of cDC cells via FLT3 agonism has promising therapeutic potential in the treatment of advanced solid tumors. Here, we discuss the results of a clinical trial using GS-3583, an FLT3 agonist, that was stopped after a patient in the study developed acute myeloid leukemia.PMID:38652676 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-24-0460 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Integrating multisector molecular characterization into personalized peptide vaccine design for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma
CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, our findings suggest NeoVax did stimulate expansion of neoantigen-specific effector T cells and provide encouraging results to aid in the development of future neoantigen vaccine-based clinical trials in patients with GBM. Herein, we demonstrate the feasibility of incorporating multisector sampling in cancer vaccine design and provide information on the clinical applicability of clonality, distribution, and immunogenicity of the neoantigen landscape in GBM patients.PMID:38639919 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3077 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)
