EGFR targeting of solid tumors.
BACKGROUND Recent clinical trials suggest that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted agents could benefit many patients with cancer. METHODS We review the current status of several EGFR-targeted therapies in cancer patients and address the efficacy of theses drugs as monotherapy or in combination with other drugs and/or treatments. RESULTS Cetuximab is the most widely studied ant...
متن کاملTargeting BET bromodomain proteins in solid tumors
There is increasing interest in inhibitors targeting BET (bromodomain and extra-terminal) proteins because of the association between this family of proteins and cancer progression. BET inhibitors were initially shown to have efficacy in hematologic malignancies; however, a number of studies have now shown that BET inhibitors can also block progression of non-hematologic malignancies. In this R...
متن کاملNanobodies As Novel Agents for Targeting Angiogenesis in Solid Cancers
Solid cancers are dependent on angiogenesis for sustenance. The FDA approval of Bevacizumab in 2004 inspired many scientists to develop more inhibitors of angiogenesis. Although several monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are being administered to successfully combat various pathologies, the complexity and large size of mAbs seem to narrow the therapeutic applications. To improve the performance of ca...
متن کاملNano to micro delivery systems: targeting angiogenesis in brain tumors
Treating brain tumors using inhibitors of angiogenesis is extensively researched and tested in clinical trials. Although anti-angiogenic treatment holds a great potential for treating primary and secondary brain tumors, no clinical treatment is currently approved for brain tumor patients. One of the main hurdles in treating brain tumors is the blood brain barrier - a protective barrier of the b...
متن کاملNovel Antibody Therapeutics Targeting Mesothelin In Solid Tumors
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Monoclonal antibodies have become attractive clinical anti-cancer drugs in the last 3 decades due to their targeting specificity and suitable pharmacokinetic properties. Mesothelin is a tumor-associated antigen with limited expression in normal tissues. It is frequently over-expressed on the cell membrane of a number of epithelial malignancies (e.g. mesothelioma, pancreatic,...
