BackgroundA single, high priming dose of tremelimumab (anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte–associated antigen 4) plus durvalumab (anti–programmed cell death ligand-1), an infusion regimen termed STRIDE (Single Tremelimumab Regular Interval Durvalumab), showed encouraging clinical activity and safety in a phase 2 trial unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.MethodsIn this global, open-label, 3 trial, the majority patients we enrolled with carcinoma no previous systemic treatment were randomly assigned...

BACKGROUND: Patients with advanced biliary tract cancer have a poor prognosis, and first-line standard of care (gemcitabine plus cisplatin) has remained unchanged for more than 10 years. The TOPAZ-1 trial evaluated durvalumab chemotherapy patients cancer. METHODS: In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study, we randomly assigned previously untreated unresectable or metastatic recurrent disease 1:1 to receive placebo in combination gemcitabine cisplatin up eight cycles, followed...

Abstract Purpose: Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have emerged recently as promising anticancer agents. They arrest cells in the cell cycle and induce differentiation death. The antitumor activity of HDAC has been linked to their ability gene expression through acetylation histone nonhistone proteins. However, it suggested that may also enhance other cancer therapeutics, including radiotherapy. purpose this study was evaluate radiosensitize human melanoma vitro. Experimental Design: A...

Abstract Purpose: Nivolumab, an anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor, improved overall survival versus everolimus in a phase 3 trial of previously treated patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). We investigated immunomodulatory activity nivolumab hypothesis-generating prospective mRCC trial. Experimental Design: Nivolumab was administered intravenously every weeks at 0.3, 2, or 10 mg/kg to and treatment-naïve mRCC. Baseline on-treatment biopsies blood were obtained. Clinical...

We report preliminary results of a phase I trial nivolumab, fully human IgG4 PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor antibody, in combination S or P mRCC. Methods: mRCC patients (≥1 prior systemic therapy) received nivolumab (50 mg, 4 wks on, 2 off; arm S) (800 mg daily; P), until progression/unacceptable toxicity. Starting...

The bcl-2 proto-oncogene is frequently expressed in human cancer. Although was first cloned as the t(14;18) translocation breakpoint from follicular B-cell lymphoma, it has become apparent that many cell types express because of transcriptional regulation. As such, several transcription factors have been demonstrated to activate expression bcl-2, including NF-kappaB. We investigated role NF-kappaB1 (p50) homodimers Bcl-2 two murine lymphoma lines: LY-as, an apoptosis-proficient line with low...

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) induces apoptosis in several human tumors both vitro and vivo, however, some remain resistant for poorly understood reasons. Using a quantitative DNA fragmentation assay apoptosis, we have shown that prostate cancer cells are to wide range of TRAIL doses up 500 ng/ml. However, translation inhibitors, such as anisomycin, cycloheximide, emetine, harringtonine, puromycin, unlike transcription significantly sensitized PC3-neomycin...
