Abstract Measles virus (MV) vaccine strains have shown significant preclinical antitumor activity against glioblastoma (GBM), the most lethal glioma histology. In this first in human trial (NCT00390299), a carcinoembryonic antigen-expressing oncolytic measles derivative (MV-CEA), was administered recurrent GBM patients either at resection cavity (Group A), or, intratumorally on day 1, followed by second dose after tumor 5 B). A total of 22 received study treatment, 9 Group and 13 B. Primary...
Many men develop a rising PSA after initial therapy for prostate cancer. While some of these will local or metastatic recurrence that warrants further therapy, others have no evidence disease progression. We hypothesized an expression biomarker panel can predict which with would benefit from therapy.A case-control design was used to test the association gene outcome. Systemic (SYS) progression cases were post-prostatectomy who developed systemic within 5 years recurrence. controls matched...
Triple-negative (TN) breast cancer is an aggressive subtype of associated with a unique set epidemiologic and genetic risk factors. We conducted two-stage genome-wide association study TN (stage 1: 1529 cases, 3399 controls; stage 2: 2148 1309 controls) to identify loci that influence risk. Variants in the 19p13.1 PTHLH showed significant associations (P < 5 × 10−8) 1 2 combined. Results also suggested substantial enrichment significantly variants among single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)...
We hypothesized that vertical blockade of VEGF signaling by combining bevacizumab with sorafenib in patients recurrent glioblastoma would result a synergistic therapeutic effect. also investigated whether VEGF, VEGFR2 and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), circulating biomarkers angiogenesis, MRI markers such as apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) are correlated treatment efficacy and/or toxicity.Patients received (5 mg/kg every 2 weeks) (200 mg twice day,...
BackgroundThe mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) functions within the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway as a critical modulator cell survival. This clinical trial evaluated combination mTOR inhibitor everolimus with conventional temozolomide (TMZ)-based chemoradiotherapy.
LBA4 Background: WBRT significantly improves tumor control in the brain after SRS, yet role of adjuvant remains undefined due to concerns regarding neurocognitive risks. Methods: Patients with 1-3 metastases, each < 3 cm by contrast MRI, were randomized SRS alone or + and underwent cognitive testing before treatment. The primary endpoint was progression (CP) defined as decline > 1 SD from baseline any 6 tests at months. Time CP estimated using cumulative incidence adjusting for...
Vorinostat, a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, has shown radiosensitizing properties in preclinical studies. This open-label, single-arm trial evaluated the maximum tolerated dose (MTD; phase I) and efficacy (phase II) of vorinostat combined with standard chemoradiation newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Patients received oral (300 or 400 mg/day) on days 1–5 weekly during temozolomide chemoradiation. Following 4- to 6-week rest, patients up 12 cycles adjuvant (400 1–7 15–21 each 28-day...
Abstract Background We report the analysis involving patients treated on initial CODEL design. Methods Adults (&gt;18) with newly diagnosed 1p/19q World Health Organization (WHO) grade III oligodendroglioma were randomized to radiotherapy (RT; 5940 centigray ) alone (arm A); RT concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ) B); or TMZ C). Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), arm A versus B. Secondary comparisons performed for OS progression-free (PFS), comparing pooled arms TMZ-alone...
Attenuated measles virus (MV) strains are promising agents currently being tested against solid tumors or hematologic malignancies in ongoing phase I and II clinical trials; factors determining oncolytic virotherapy success remain poorly understood, however. We performed RNA sequencing gene set enrichment analysis to identify pathways differentially activated MV-resistant (n = 3) -permissive 2) derived from resected human glioblastoma (GBM) specimens propagated as xenografts (PDX). Using a...
Long-term outcomes of radiotherapy are important in understanding the risks and benefits therapies for patients with brain metastases.To determine how use postoperative whole-brain (WBRT) or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is associated quality life (QOL), cognitive function, intracranial tumor control long-term survivors 1 to 4 metastases.This secondary analysis a randomized phase 3 clinical trial included 48 institutions US Canada. Adult resected metastases but limited those metastasis...
Abstract Purpose: The RANO criteria have not been assessed using outcome data from prospective trials. We examined the radiologic of patients with recurrent glioblastoma randomized phase II trial (AVF3708g) to determine effect including T2/FLAIR evaluation as per on measurements objective response rates (ORRs) and progression-free survival (PFS) compared assessment based contrast enhancement (Macdonald criteria). Experimental Design: ORRs median PFS were determined those obtained Macdonald...
Src signaling is markedly upregulated in patients with invasive glioblastoma (GBM) after the administration of bevacizumab. The family kinase inhibitor dasatinib has been found to effectively block bevacizumab-induced glioma invasion preclinical models, which led hypothesis that combining bevacizumab could increase efficacy recurrent GBM.After completion phase 1 component, 2 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00892177) randomized GBM 2:1 receive 100 mg oral twice daily (arm A) or...
Clinical immunotherapy approaches are lacking efficacy in the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM). In this study, we sought to reverse local and systemic GBM-induced immunosuppression using Helicobacter pylori neutrophil-activating protein (NAP), a potent TLR2 agonist, as an immunostimulatory transgene expressed oncolytic measles virus (MV) platform, retargeted allow viral entry through urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR). While single-agent murine anti-PD1 or repeat situ...
The prognosis for patients with glioblastoma is poor following standard therapy surgical resection, radiation, temozolomide, and tumor-treating fields.
Findings from the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) -positive National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) B31 trial suggested that MYC/HER2 coamplification (> 5.0 copies/nucleus) was associated with additional benefit adjuvant trastuzumab in patients early-stage breast cancer. To further explore this relationship, we investigated associations between MYC amplification disease-free survival (DFS) a similar HER2-positive cancer trial-North Central Cancer Treatment...
BACKGROUND Mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)‐dependent signaling are hallmarks glioblastoma. In the current study, authors conducted a phase 1/2 study sorafenib (an inhibitor Raf vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 [VEGFR‐2]) mTOR temsirolimus in patients with recurrent METHODS Patients glioblastoma who developed disease progression after surgery or radiotherapy plus temozolomide ≤2 prior chemotherapy regimens were eligible....

Aberrant coregulator expression that occurs during prostate cancer (PCa) progression correlates with poor prognosis and aggressive disease. This has been attributed to the ability regulate androgen receptor-mediated transcription. We have shown previously androgenic milieu regulates of coactivators p300 FHL2, severe consequences for PCa cell proliferation receptor transcriptional activity. To determine extent dependency genes, we designed a cDNA-mediated annealing, selection, extension,...
Abstract The androgen receptor (AR) is the principal target for treatment of non–organ-confined prostate cancer (PCa). Androgen deprivation therapies (ADT) directed against AR ligand–binding domain do not fully inhibit androgen-dependent signaling critical PCa progression. Thus, information that could direct development more effective ADTs desired. Systems and bioinformatics approaches suggest considerable variation exists in mechanisms by which regulates expression effector genes, pointing...
