Patients Methods: mutation, detected by local (next-generation sequencing) central (plasma-based BEAMing) testing,...
Abstract Oral selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERD) could become the backbone of endocrine therapy (ET) for receptor–positive (ER+) breast cancer, as they achieve greater inhibition ER-driven cancers than current ETs and overcome key resistance mechanisms. In this study, we evaluated preclinical pharmacology efficacy next-generation oral SERD camizestrant (AZD9833) assessed ER–co-targeting strategies by combining with CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) PI3K/AKT/mTOR-targeted in models...

Abstract AKT1E17K mutations occur at low frequency in a variety of solid tumors, including those the breast and urinary bladder. Although this mutation has been shown to transform rodent cells culture, it was found be less oncogenic than PIK3CA epithelial cells. Moreover, therapeutic potential AKT inhibitors human tumors with an endogenous is not known. Expression exogenous copies MCF10A increased phosphorylation its substrates, induced colony formation soft agar, lesions mammary fat pad...
Abstract Purpose: Common resistance mechanisms to endocrine therapy (ET) in estrogen receptor (ER)–positive metastatic breast cancers include, among others, ER loss and acquired activating mutations the ligand-binding domain of gene (ESR1LBDm). ESR1 mutational mediated may be overcome by selective degraders (SERD). During first-in-human study oral SERD AZD9496, early changes circulating tumor cells (CTCs) DNA (ctDNA) were explored as potential noninvasive tools, alongside paired biopsies,...
