Combining WEE1 inhibition with PD-L1 blockade shows promise in SCLC models
Blocking the tyrosine kinase cell-cycle progression regulator WEE1 may help to reinstate tumour immunogenicity and potentiate the effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors
The genomic, immunological and clinical characterisation of breast cancer – a work in progress
A greater understanding of the complexity of breast cancer, in all its forms, is key to better patient selection, new target development and improved outcomes, says Prof. Fabrice André
Sitravatinib shows signals of enhancing checkpoint inhibitor efficacy in NSCLC progressing on immunotherapy
Early-phase trials suggest that sitravatinib may reboot the tumour response to PD-1 inhibitors, but confirmation of efficacy is required and strategies are needed to adjust tolerability
Will antibody–drug conjugates be a replacement for chemotherapy in the future?
Over the last decade, much progress has been made in developing a range of antibody–drug conjugates to treat breast cancer, with the construction of bespoke agents for individual patients and exciting prospect for the future
How to bridge the gap between academia and industry
Shared interests, mutual gain, flexibility and trust are key to building win–win partnerships in drug development.
From empiric testing to rational design: two decades of progress in phase I trials
Ensuring equitable access to innovative treatments is now the major challenge in oncology, says Prof. Alex Adjei
