XAD - Xelox (Capecitabine + Oxaliplatin) + Bevacizumab + Dasatinib

ABSTRACT: The primary purpose of this study is to find the highest tolerated dose of the study drugs: capecitabine, oxaliplatin, bevacizumab, and dasatinib given in combination to subjects with advanced solid tumors. This will occur in the first part of the study (Phase I). Once this dose has been determined, it will be given to subjects with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer in the second part of the study (Phase II). By giving these drugs in combination, researchers hope to evaluate the side effects of the study drugs in both groups, and to determine if this combination could possibly decrease or stabilize the cancer being treated. Subjects will be enrolled at Duke University Medical Center (DUMC) and Rocky Mountain Cancer Center. After satisfying eligibility and screening criteria, patients will be treated on 21 day cycles. ABOUT THE STUDY DRUGS * Capecitabine (Xeloda) is an oral (taken by mouth) chemotherapy drug in tablet form made by Roche Laboratories Inc. Capecitabine has been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for first line treatment (treatment that should be used for cancer that has not been treated yet) of metastatic colorectal cancer and also for metastatic breast cancer. * Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin) is an intravenous (given by injection into a vein) chemotherapy drug made by Sanofi-Synthélabo. This drug is also approved by the FDA for use in metastatic colorectal cancer. * Bevacizumab (Avastin) is a type of intravenous cancer treatment called anti-angiogenic therapy (a type of therapy to treat cancer that interferes with blood flow to the tumor, thereby stopping tumor growth, and possibly leading to tumor shrinkage) made by Genentech Inc. Bevacizumab is approved by the FDA for first line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer in combination with other chemotherapy. * Dasatinib (Sprycel) is an oral drug made by Bristol Myers Squib, Inc (BMS). Dasatinib is approved by the FDA for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia or for patients that are resistant to a medicine called imatinib mesylate (Gleevec ).

Project description:Gene Expression Profiling of Breast Cancer Patients with Brain Metastases Brain metastases confer the worst prognosis of breast cancer as no therapy exists that prevents or eliminates the cancer from spreading to the brain. We developed a new computational modeling method to derive specific downstream signaling pathways that reveal unknown target-disease connections and new mechanisms for specific cancer subtypes. The model enables us to reposition drugs based on available gene expression data of patients. We applied this model to repurpose known or shelved drugs for brain, lung, and bone metastases of breast cancer with the hypothesis that cancer subtypes have their own specific signaling mechanisms. To test the hypothesis, we addressed the specific CSBs for each metastasis that satisfy that (1) CSB proteins are activated by the maximal number of enriched signaling pathways specific to this metastasis, and (2) CSB proteins involve in the most differential expressed coding-genes specific to the specific breast cancer metastasis. The identified signaling networks for the three types of metastases contain 31, 15, and 18 proteins, respectively, and are used to reposition 15, 9, and 2 drug candidates for the brain, lung, and bone metastases of breast cancer. We performed in vitro and in vivo preclinical experiments as well as analysis on patient tumor specimens to evaluate the targets and repositioned drugs. Two known drugs, Sunitinib (FDA approved for renal cell carcinoma and imatinib-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumor) and Dasatinib (FDA approved for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) after imatinib treatment and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia), were shown to prohibit the metastatic colonization in brain. The TMH-52 cohort includes 11 patients who were examined with brain metastasis at the time of breast cancer diagnosis. The other 41 patients were examined with other organ metastasis at the time of breast cancer diagnosis.

Project description:Using meta-analysis of eight independent transplant datasets (236 graft biopsy samples) from four organs, we identified a common rejection module (CRM) consisting of 11 genes that were significantly overexpressed in acute rejection (AR) across all transplanted organs. The CRM genes could diagnose AR with high specificity and sensitivity in three additional independent cohorts (794 samples). In another two independent cohorts (151 renal transplant biopsies), the CRM genes correlated with the extent of graft injury and predicted future injury to a graft using protocol biopsies. Inferred drug mechanisms from the literature suggested that two FDA-approved drugs (atorvastatin and dasatinib), approved for non-transplant indications, could regulate specific CRM genes and reduce the number of graft infiltrating cells during acute rejection. We treated mice with HLA-mismatched murine cardiac transplant with atorvastatin and dasatinib and showed reduction of the CRM genes, significant reduction of graft infiltrating cells, and extended graft survival. We further validated the beneficial effect of atorvastatina on graft survival by retrospective analysis of electronic medical records of a single-center cohort of 2,515 renal transplant patients. In conclusion, we identified a CRM in transplantation that provides new opportunities for diagnosis, drug repositioning and rational drug design. The eight transplant data sets used for discovery include GSE4315, GSE2596, GSE4470, GSE9377, GSE1563, GSE9493, GSE13440, GSE6095. The two additional independent cohorts of 151 transplant biopsies are GSE25902 and GSE1563. Not all samples from all studies were used. Only the samples marked as either AR or STA in each data set were used for analysis. The 101 samples in this study were used as case-control experiment between acute rejection (AR) and stable (STA) in renal transplant. The samples in this series are one of the three independent validation cohorts. The other two cohorts are described in GSE21374 and GSE36059

Project description:EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have demonstrated tremendous clinical benefits in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, resistance emerges rapidly due to a variety of mechanisms including a secondary mutation of T790M in EGFR that abrogates the binding of the drugs. It has been postulated that EGFR TKIs, such as afatinib (BIBW2992), with activity against the T790M mutant EGFR kinase might overcome the drug resistance problem or, when used as the first-line treatment, delay or suppress the emergence of resistance in EGFR. In this study, we generated BIBW2992-resistant cells, HCC827-BR1 and HCC827-BR2, from the parental HCC827 cells. In HCC827-BR cells, EGFR, MET, and Erb2 were down-regulated and no secondary mutation was found to be present in the coding region of EGFR. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed an obvious signature of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in the drug resistant cells. Subsequently, the HCC827-BR cells were shown to be more invasive. Most importantly, we strived to seek if alternative medicine might be applied alone or in combination to treat the BIBW2992-resistant cells or to, under BIBW2992 treatment, diminish the emergence of resistant cells. Compared to the parental cells, the HCC827-BR cells were more sensitive to dasatinib, an FDA-approved kinase inhibitor. Furthermore, as revealed in the clonogenicity assay, the reduction of tumor-colony-forming cells after exposure to BIBW2992 was substantially potentiated by low concentration of dasatinib. Thus, prospective clinical investigations may be needed to evaluate if dasatinib can be beneficial to patients receiving second-generation EGFR TKIs for the treatment of NSCLC. Over a period of 3-4 months, BIBW2992-resistant cells were isolated in cell culture by maintenance of HCC827 cells in the presence of escalating concentrations of BIBW2992 up to 2 Î¼M. Two cell lines, HCC827-BR1 and HCC827-BR2, were established based on individual clones. Total RNA of these HCC827, HCC827-BR1 and HCC827-BR2, were extracted for gene expression microarray analysis using Illumina HumanHT12 v3 BeadChip.
