Panitumumab, a fully human antibody against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), has activity in subset of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Although activating mutations KRAS, small G-protein downstream EGFR, correlate poor response to anti-EGFR antibodies mCRC, their role as selection marker not been established randomized trials.

Gene-modified autologous T cells expressing NY-ESO-1c259, an affinity-enhanced T-cell receptor (TCR) reactive against the NY-ESO-1-specific HLA-A*02-restricted peptide SLLMWITQC (NY-ESO-1 SPEAR T-cells; GSK 794), have demonstrated clinical activity in patients with advanced synovial sarcoma (SS). The factors contributing to gene-modified expansion and changes within tumor microenvironment (TME) following infusion remain unclear. These studies address immunological mechanisms of response...

Abstract Purpose: This phase 1 study evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, and activity of panitumumab, a fully human, IgG2 monoclonal antibody that targets epidermal growth factor receptor in patients with previously treated receptor–expressing advanced solid tumors. Experimental Design: Sequential cohorts were enrolled to receive four i.v. infusions panitumumab monotherapy at various doses schedules. Safety was continuously monitored. Serum samples for pharmacokinetic, immunogenicity,...

In the United States, darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp) is often used to treat patients with chemotherapy-induced anemia using weekly or every-2-week administration schedules. Europe, either in every-3-week dosing. The schedule can be synchronized many chemotherapy regimens, resulting fewer visits and reducing burden patients, but safety efficacy of this regimen have not been clear.A randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled phase 3 trial was performed 110 European centers. Eligible...

Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes cancer related death worldwide. Liver resection or transplantation curative for a subset patients with localized disease, but treatments advanced disease are generally toxic and ineffective. Aberrant expression vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been implicated in progression HCC represents valid target anticancer therapy.
