Correlation between classical prognostic factors and overexpression of HER2 and HER3 in localized gastric cancer
e14589 Background: Although HER2 overexpression has been identified as a predictive factor for targeted therapy in advanced gastric cancer (GC), little is known about its role in localized GC. Recent studies suggest that not only HER2 but also HER3 might have a role in prognosis in GC. Our study aimed to identify the prevalence of HER2 and HER3 overexpression in a series of localized GC and to describe correlations of these with traditional prognostic factors Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of HER2 and HER3 overexpression in archived tumour samples in pts diagnosed with GC at stage I-III. HER2 was assessed with herceptest, (negative if 0 or 1+, or positive with 2+ or 3+). St…
A phase Ib study of the Akt inhibitor GDC-0068 with docetaxel (D) or mFOLFOX-6 (F) in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors.
3021 Background: Activation of the Akt pathway is observed in multiple tumors and may contribute to chemoresistance. GDC-0068 is an ATP-competitive small molecule inhibitor of all three isoforms of Akt; in a phase Ia study, it was well tolerated with maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 600 mg daily (21 days on/7days off) and pharmacodynamic down-regulation of Akt signaling in tumors at doses ≥100 mg. In vitro, GDC-0068 shows synergism with cytotoxic agents. This phase Ib study defines the dose limiting toxicities (DLT), MTD, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of GDC0068 in combination with D and F. Methods: Using a 3+3 designeligible patients (pt) with advanced/metastatic solid tumors were treat…
Human pharmacokinetic (PK) characterization of the novel dual-action anti-HER3/EGFR antibody MEHD7945A (MEHD) in patients with refractory/recurrent epithelial tumors.
2567 Background: MEHD is a novel dual-action human IgG1 antibody that blocks ligand binding to HER3 and EGFR, and elicits antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). MEHD demonstrates single-agent activity in a broad panel of tumor models, including models resistant to anti-HER3 or anti-EGFR treatment alone. The objective of this analysis was to characterize the PK of MEHD associated with body weight (BW)-based dosing used in a phase I study in patients with epithelial tumors and to evaluate the potential for using fixed dosing in future studies. Methods: Preliminary non-compartmental and population PK analyses were performed using patient data from the dose-escalation stage [1, …
A phase I study of MEHD7945A (MEHD), a first-in-class HER3/EGFR dual-action antibody, in patients (pts) with refractory/recurrent epithelial tumors: Expansion cohorts.
2568 Background: Dysregulated human epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (HER RTK) signaling is an important driver of tumor growth, metastasis, and survival. Extensive co-expression and heterodimerization suggest that simultaneous blockade of multiple HER RTKs may be more effective than blockade of a single RTK. MEHD is a novel dual-action human IgG1 antibody. Each antigen-binding fragment blocks ligand binding to HER3 or EGFR, and intended to inhibit signaling from all major ligand-dependent HER dimers. MEHD has single-agent activity in multiple tumor models including models resistant to anti-HER3 or anti-EGFR. Methods: This Phase I study evaluated safety, tolerability, pharm…
Estudio de acetilación de proteínas en líneas celulares humanas de cáncer colorectal KRAS mutado y salvaje
El estado mutacional de KRAS es el principal predictor negativo de respuesta a terapias anti-factor de crecimiento epidérmico (EGFR) en pacientes diagnosticados de cáncer colorectal avanzado (CRC). Sin embargo existe datos contradictorios sobre las causas de la respuesta variable a estos fármacos diana de acuerdo con la presencia de mutaciones, de hecho publicaciones recientes han presentado datos no concluyentes sobre los pacientes portadores de mutaciones en el codón 13. En nuestro trabajo, hemos estudiado el impacto de la presencia de mutaciones en KRAS en proteínas intracelulares no histónicas. Para ello hemos utilizado diferentes líneas celulares de cáncer colorectal portadoras de dife…
