Gene expression profiles showed that patients with tumors that express high levels of the EGFR ligands epiregulin and amphireGulin and patients with wild-type K-ras are more likely to have disease control on cetuximab treatment.
Phase I and pharmacologic study of OSI-774, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in patients with advanced solid malignancies.

- 1 July 2001
The recommended dose for disease-directed studies of OSI-774 administered orally on a daily, continuous, uninterrupted schedule is 150 mg/d, and several patients with epidermoid malignancies demonstrated either antitumor activity or relatively long periods of stable disease.

The macrophage checkpoint inhibitor 5F9 combined with rituximab showed promising activity in patients with aggressive and indolent lymphoma.
Phase I and pharmacokinetic study of YM155, a small-molecule inhibitor of survivin.

The absence of severe toxicities, attainment of plasma concentrations active in preclinical models, and compelling antitumor activity warrant further disease-directed studies of this agent alone and in combination with chemotherapy in a broad array of tumors.
Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: Locking Up the Molecular Escape Routes

The understanding of the key role that androgens play on the normal and pathological physiology of the prostate guided the development of different therapies for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer (PCa), and several molecular mechanisms have been proposed to explain this phenomenon.

This discussion focuses on the basic principles underlying the development of modern combination chemotherapy, and it is followed by a description of the major classes of chemotherapeutic drugs and their mechanisms of action.
An Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Intron 1 Polymorphism Mediates Response to Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors

The results suggest that polymorphic variations in the intron 1 of the egfr gene is associated with response to EGFR inhibitors and may provide an explanation as to why the development of skin toxicity is related to the antitumor activity of this class of drugs.
Cantuzumab mertansine, a maytansinoid immunoconjugate directed to the CanAg antigen: a phase I, pharmacokinetic, and biologic correlative study.

- Medicine, ChemistryJournal of Clinical Oncology
- 15 January 2003
The absence of severe hematologic toxic effects, preliminary evidence of cantuzumab mertansine tumor localization, and encouraging biologic activity in chemotherapy-refractory patients warrant further broad clinical development of this immunoconjugate in CanAg-expressing tumors.
A Phase I Study of Eribulin Mesylate (E7389), a Mechanistically Novel Inhibitor of Microtubule Dynamics, in Patients with Advanced Solid Malignancies

- 15 June 2009
Eribulin mesylate, given on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle, exhibits manageable tolerability at 1.0 mg/m2 with further dose escalation limited by neutropenia and fatigue.
Phase II study of sorafenib in patients with metastatic or recurrent sarcomas.
- R. Maki, D. D’Adamo, G. Schwartz
- Medicine, BiologyJournal of Clinical Oncology
- 1 July 2009
As a single agent, sorafenib has activity against angiosarcoma and minimal activity against other sarcomas, and statistical modeling in this limited patient cohort indicated sorafinib toxicity was correlated inversely to patient height.
