Adagrasib, an irreversible, selective KRASG12C inhibitor, may be effective treatment in KRASG12C-mutated colorectal cancer, particularly when combined with anti-EGFR antibody. In this analysis of the KRYSTAL-1 trial, patients previously treated unresectable or metastatic cancer received adagrasib (600 mg twice daily) plus cetuximab. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review. Ninety-four With a median follow-up 11.9 months, ORR 34.0%, disease...

Abstract PIK3CA encodes the p110α catalytic subunit of PI3K and is frequently mutated in human cancers, including ∼30% colorectal cancer. Oncogenic mutations render cancers more dependent on glutamine. Here we report that glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 preferentially inhibits xenograft growth PIK3CA-mutant, but not wild-type (WT), cancers. Moreover, combination 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) induces PIK3CA-mutant tumor regression models. treatment increased reactive oxygen species caused nuclear...

Pemetrexed or bevacizumab is used for maintenance therapy of advanced nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The combination and pemetrexed has also demonstrated efficacy. We conducted a randomized study to determine the optimal therapy.Patients with NSCLC no prior systemic received carboplatin (area under curve, 6), paclitaxel (200 mg/m2), (15 mg/kg) up four cycles. Patients without progression after cycles were randomly assigned mg/kg), (500 two agents. primary end point was...

131 Background: KRAS G12C mutations occur in 3%–4% of CRC cases and are associated with poor prognosis. In the phase 1/2 KRYSTAL-1 study (NCT03785249), at a median follow-up 11.9 months (mo), Ada (irreversible inhibitor ) combination Cetux (anti-EGFR antibody) demonstrated promising clinical activity (objective response rate [ORR] 34% per blinded independent central review [BICR] 43% investigator [INV]) was well tolerated patients (pts) previously treated -mutated mCRC. Based on these...

Abstract Background. Src, EphA2, and platelet-derived growth factor receptors α β are dysregulated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Dasatinib is an oral multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets BCR-ABL, c-Src, c-KIT, receptor β, EphA2. We conducted a phase II, single-arm study of dasatinib as first-line therapy patients with metastatic PDAC. Methods. (100 mg twice day, later reduced to 70 day because toxicities) was orally administered continuously on 28-day cycle. The...

The administration of allogeneic natural killer (NK) cells following a lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen is emerging as well-tolerated therapeutic approach in the management various malignancies. Contrary to expected complications T cell therapy, there remains no evidence graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) mediated by NK numerous clinical trials. On contrary, preclinical and studies suggest that do not induce GVHD fact may prevent its development hematopoietic transplantation (HCT). In this...

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) may facilitate earlier diagnosis recurrent improve cancer-related outcomes.Plasma from patients undergoing standard after definitive treatment for stage II/III was assayed COLVERA carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) at a single time point. Results were correlated radiographic imaging. Assay performance, including sensitivity specificity...

PURPOSE: Approximately 20% of caregivers (CGs) live > 1 hour away from the patient and are considered distance (DCGs) who often report higher distress anxiety than local CGs. The purpose this study was to test effectiveness an intervention aimed at reducing in DCGs patients with cancer. METHODS: This randomized controlled trial enrolled all cancer types were being seen monthly by oncologists outpatient clinics. There three arms delivered over a 4-month period: arm (a) received 4...

2562 Background: Colorectal cancers (CRCs) harboring a PIK3CA mutation demonstrate glutamine dependency in both vitro and vivo models, including those known to be fluoropyrimidine (FP) resistant. CB-839 (CB) is an oral inhibitor of glutaminase, key enzyme metabolism. Preclinical studies further show that the combination CB FP superior either as single agent, can overcome resistance. We conducted phase I trial assess maximum tolerated dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) when given with...
