PIK3CA (PI3Kα) is a lipid kinase commonly mutated in cancer, including ∼40% of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. The most frequently observed mutants occur the and helical domains. Orthosteric PI3Kα inhibitors suffer from poor selectivity leading to undesirable side effects, prominently hyperglycemia due inhibition wild-type (WT) PI3Kα. Here, we used molecular dynamics simulations cryo-electron microscopy identify an allosteric network that provides explanation for how mutations favor...

<div>Abstract<p>Src homology-2 domain–containing phosphatase 2 promotes rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog–MAPK signaling and tumorigenesis is a promising therapeutic target for multiple solid tumors. Migoprotafib potent highly selective Src inhibitor designed the treatment of homolog–MAPK–driven cancers, particularly in combination with other targeted agents. Here, we report first-in-human study results single-agent migoprotafib patients advanced tumor. We conducted phase Ia,...

Abstract BACKGROUND: Oncogenic activation of PI3Kα via mutation PIK3CA is the most common kinase driver event across solid tumors, particularly breast cancer (BC). Alpelisib, an orthosteric inhibitor, validated mutant-PI3Kα as a therapeutic target; however, toxicity from non-selective inhibition WT (hyperglycemia) and other PI3K isoforms limits its clinical activity. RLY-2608, novel oral allosteric designed to overcome these limitations mutant- isoform-selective inhibition. We initiated...

TPS1124 Background: Targeting constitutively active mutant kinases with selective small molecule inhibitors is a key therapeutic pillar of precision oncology. Phosphatidylinositol-4,5bisphosphate-3 kinase, catalytic subunit alpha ( PIK3CA) mutations leading to oncogenic activation PI3Kα represent the largest opportunity for this approach in solid tumors. However, there no inhibitor that targets clinic. Toxicity related non-selective inhibition WT (hyperglycemia) and other PI3K isoforms...
