Monotherapy with prexasertib demonstrated modest activity in BRCA wild-type, recurrent triple-negative breast cancer, highlighting the unmet need for combination treatment strategies. Neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia are common use of but manageable supportive care measures. Prophylactic granulocyte colony stimulating factor should be considered to avoid dose reductions or delays. Pharmacodynamic studies showed induced DNA damage peripheral immune cells.Cell cycle checkpoint kinase...

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) have changed the treatment paradigm in breast cancer gene ( BRCA )–mutant high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). However, most patients eventually develop resistance to PARPis, highlighting an unmet need for improved therapeutic strategies. Using high-throughput drug screens, we identified ataxia telangiectasia and rad3-related protein/checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) pathway as cytotoxic further validated activity of CHK1 inhibitor (CHK1i)...

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic and intrinsically resistant to checkpoint immunotherapies. We sought augment innate immunity, building on previous work with IFNs monocytes.Preclinical experiments were designed define mechanisms of cell death mediated by combination α γ monocytes. translated these preclinical findings into a phase I trial autologous IFN-activated monocytes administered intraperitoneally platinum-resistant or -refractory ovarian patients.IFN-treated induced...

2031 Background: Therapies targeting multiple survival pathways simultaneously may be more effective for high-grade gliomas, a disease highly resistant to treatment. Our preclinical studies have shown potent anti-glioma effects of TG02 and synergy with temozolomide (TMZ) through modulation transcription cellular metabolism. A phase I/II trial was launched test the combination TMZ in recurrent malignant gliomas herein we report I results. Methods: Adults astrocytoma, KPS ≥ 60, normal organ...

6038 Background: Preclinical data suggest cell cycle checkpoint inhibition induces greater death in BRCA mutant HGSOC by causing replication stress and dysregulation of DNA damage responses. We hypothesized that prexasertib, a kinase 1 (CHK1) inhibitor, would be active mutated patients. Methods: conducted single center, two-stage phase II study prexasertib (105mg/m 2 IV every weeks) patients with known germline or somatic mutations. The primary endpoint was RECIST response rate (RR)....

Most therapies for recurrent high grade gliomas have not been successful, largely due to the complexity of disease. Our preclinical studies demonstrated anti-glioma effects TG02 and synergy with temozolomide (TMZ) through modulation transcription metabolism. We hypothesize that given multiple mechanisms established efficacy TMZ, combined treatment may be effective malignant gliomas. launched a phase I/II trial herein report I results.

Temozolomide (TMZ) is an oral alkylating agent which the most common chemotherapy used in neuro-oncology and typically well tolerated. The adverse events include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, headache, constipation serious being myelosuppression. Review of literature uncovered rare reports acute reactions to TMZ, limited skin rashes eruptions.

Biomarkers of response to immunotherapy are critical evaluate efficacy and ultimately select patients most likely benefit from this potentially toxic treatment. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) easily collected offer abundant lymphocytes, yet the molecular determinants relevant a therapeutic have not been determined. To identify such cells, rare, we developed four state-of-the-art flow cytometry assays that quantify 65 unique proteins on single-cells for comprehensive,...

Abstract BACKGROUND Therapies targeting multiple survival pathways are desirable for high-grade gliomas. TG02 (Zotiraciclib), a CDK9 inhibitor, regulates transcription and metabolism of tumor cells synergizes with temozolomide. A phase I/II trial was launched to test the TG02/temozolomide combined treatment in recurrent astrocytomas. Phase I results reported here. METHODS Adults astrocytoma, KPS≥60, adequate organ function, < 2 prior relapses were enrolled. Primary endpoint dose limiting...

Abstract PARP inhibitors (PARPis) have changed the treatment paradigm in BRCA -mutant high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). However, most patients eventually develop resistance to PARPis, highlighting an unmet need for novel therapeutic strategies. Using high-throughput drug screens, we identified ATR/CHK1 pathway as cytotoxic, and further validated monotherapy activity of CHK1 inhibitor (CHK1i), prexasertib, PARPi-resistant HGSC cells animal models. As a proof-of-concept trial,...
