Abstract Purpose: Preclinical data suggest that antiprogestins inhibit the growth of luminal breast carcinomas express higher levels progesterone receptor isoform A (PRA) than B (PRB). Thus, we designed a presurgical window opportunity trial to determine therapeutic effects mifepristone in patients with cancer, based on their high PRA/PRB ratio (MIPRA; NCT02651844). Patients and Methods: Twenty > 1.5 (determined by Western blots), PR ≥ 50%, naïve from previous treatment, were included...

Abstract Progesterone receptors (PRs) ligands are being tested in luminal breast cancer. There mainly two PR isoforms, PRA and PRB, their ratio (PRA/PRB) may be predictive of antiprogestin response. Our aim was to investigate: the impact isoform on metastatic behaviour, paired primary tumours lymph node metastases (LNM) and, effect antiprogestin/progestins growth. Using murine human models, we demonstrated that with PRB > (PRB‐H) have a higher proliferation index but less ability than...

Progesterone receptors (PRs) are biomarkers used as prognostic and predictive factors in breast cancer, but they still not therapeutic targets. We have proposed that the ratio between PR isoforms A B (PRA PRB) predicts antiprogestin responsiveness. The MIPRA trial confirmed benefit of 200 mg mifepristone, administered to patients with tumors a high PRA/PRB ratio, dose-ranging has been conducted. aim this study was establish plasma mifepristone levels from trial, along resultant steroid...

Abstract Seventy percent of breast cancers express estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) respond to antiestrogen therapies. Emerging evidence from experimental studies human epidemiology, points a relevant role for progestins in carcinogenesis cancer growth. Others we have proposed that there is antiprogestins the therapeutic armamentarium, but challenge remains identify which patients would benefit targeting PR addition ER. Preclinical data indicates block cell proliferation...

Abstract Overcoming luminal breast cancer (BrCa) progression remains a critical challenge for improved overall patient survival. RUNX2 has emerged as protein related to aggressiveness in triple‐negative BrCa, however its role tumors elusive. We have previously shown that active FGFR2 (FGFR2‐CA) contributes increased tumor growth and expression was high hormone‐independent mouse mammary carcinomas. To elucidate the interaction between human we investigated their roles treatment...

Abstract Background: Different antiprogestins have been clinically evaluated in gynecological andbreast cancers. Mifepristone (MFP), as well onapristone and telapristone acetate, showedpartial responses breast cancer clinical trials. Preclinical data indicates that antiprogestinsinhibit cell proliferation of luminal carcinomas expressing higher levels progesteronereceptor isoform A (PRA) than those B (PRB) by western blots (WB). Thus,we designed a pre-surgical window trial to determine the...
