Journal Article

Specific inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 by PD 0332991 and associated antitumor activity in human tumor xenografts

TL;DR: Results indicate that inhibition of Cdk4/6 alone is sufficient to cause tumor regression and a net reduction in tumor burden in some tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-throughput screening using patient-derived tumor xenografts to predict clinical trial drug response

TL;DR: The results suggest that PCTs may represent a more accurate approach than cell line models for assessing the clinical potential of some therapeutic modalities and could potentially improve preclinical evaluation of treatmentmodalities and enhance the ability to predict clinical trial responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modelling vemurafenib resistance in melanoma reveals a strategy to forestall drug resistance

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that vemurafenib-resistant melanomas become drug dependent for their continued proliferation, such that cessation of drug administration leads to regression of established drug-resistant tumours, and a discontinuous dosing strategy, which exploits the fitness disadvantage displayed by drug- resistant cells in the absence of the drug, forestalls the onset of lethal drug- resisting disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage IL-10 Blocks CD8+ T Cell-Dependent Responses to Chemotherapy by Suppressing IL-12 Expression in Intratumoral Dendritic Cells

TL;DR: Interleukin (IL)-10 expression by macrophages is identified as the critical mediator of this phenotype and expression of IL12A and cytotoxic effector molecules were predictive of pathological complete response rates to paclitaxel in human breast cancer.
Journal Article

SU11248 inhibits KIT and platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta in preclinical models of human small cell lung cancer.

TL;DR: It is suggested that SU11248 may have clinical potential in the treatment of SCLC via direct antitumor activity mediated via KIT as well as tumor angiogenesis via vascular endothelial growth factor receptor FLK1/KDR and PDGFRbeta.
