Vulnerability found in immunotherapy-resistant triple-negative breast cancer

Submitted by robbikm2 on

Vanderbilt researchers have discovered a druggable target on natural killer cells that could potentially trigger a therapeutic response in patients with immunotherapy-resistant, triple-negative breast cancer.

Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Followed by Niraparib for Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal and Fallopian Tube Cancer

Ovarian

Patients will be registered prior to, during or at the completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy
(Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours and Carboplatin AUC 6 IV on Day 1 every 21 days for 3-4
cycles). Registered patients who progress during neoadjuvant chemotherapy will not be
eligible for iCRS and will be removed from the study.

Following completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, interval cytoreductive surgery (iCRS) will
be performed in the usual fashion in both arms. Patients will be randomized at the time of
iCRS (iCRS must achieve no gross residual disease or no disease >1.0 cm in largest diameter)
to receive HIPEC or no HIPEC. Patients randomized to HIPEC (Arm A) will receive a single dose
of cisplatin (100mg/m2 IP over 90 minutes at 42 C) as HIPEC. After postoperative recovery
patients will receive standard post-operative platinum-based combination chemotherapy.
Patients randomized to surgery only (Arm B) will receive postoperative standard chemotherapy
after recovery from surgery.

Both groups will receive an additional 2-3 cycles of platinum-based combination chemotherapy
per institutional standard (Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours and Carboplatin AUC 6 IV on
Day 1 every 21 days for 2-3 cycles) for a maximum total of 6 cycles of chemotherapy
(neoadjuvant plus post-operative cycles) followed by niraparib individualized dosing until
progression or 36 months (if no evidence of disease).

Study of Lurbinectedin in Combination With Doxorubicin Versus Doxorubicin Alone as First-line Treatment in Participants With Metastatic Leiomyosarcoma

The primary objective of this phase IIb/III study is to evaluate whether the combination of
lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin given as first line treatment for metastatic leiomyosarcoma
(LMS) prolongs the progression-free survival (PFS) by Independent Review Committee (IRC) when
compared to doxorubicin administered as a single agent.

Testing the Use of Neratinib or the Combination of Neratinib and Palbociclib Targeted Treatment for HER2+ Solid Tumors (A ComboMATCH Treatment Trial)

This phase II ComboMATCH treatment trial compares the effect of neratinib to the combination of neratinib and palbociclib in treating patients with HER2 positive solid tumors. Neratinib and palbociclib are in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Giving neratinib and palbociclib in combination may shrink or stabilize cancers that over-express a specific biomarker called HER2.
