Darolutamide in Combination with Radium-223 Exhibits Synergistic Antitumor Efficacy in LNCaP Prostate Cancer Models.

Despite treatment, prostate cancer commonly progresses into castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), which remains largely incurable, requiring the development of new interventions. Darolutamide is an orally administered second-generation androgen receptor inhibitor indicated for patients with non-metastatic CRPC or metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Here, we evaluated the effect of androgen receptor (AR) inhibition by darolutamide in combination with DNA double-strand-break-inducing targeted radium-223 alpha therapy in vitro and in an intratibial LNCaP xenograft model mimicking prostate cancer metastasized to bone.

Discovery and Characterization of BAY-184: A New Potent and Selective Acylsulfonamide-Benzofuran -Active KAT6AB Inhibitor.

KAT6A and KAT6B genes are two closely related lysine acetyltransferases that transfer an acetyl group from acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA) to lysine residues of target histone substrates, hence playing a key role in chromatin regulation. KAT6A and KAT6B genes are frequently amplified in various cancer types. In breast cancer, the 8p11-p12 amplicon occurs in 12-15% of cases, resulting in elevated copy numbers and expression levels of chromatin modifiers like KAT6A.

Developing PRISM: A Pragmatic Institutional Survey and Bench Marking Tool to Measure Digital Research Maturity of Cancer Centers.

Background:  Multicenter precision oncology real-world evidence requires a substantial long-term investment by hospitals to prepare their data and align on common Clinical Research processes and medical definitions. Our team has developed a self-assessment framework to support hospitals and hospital networks to measure their digital maturity and better plan and coordinate those investments. From that framework, we developed PRISM for Cancer Outcomes: PR: agmatic I: nstitutional S: urvey and benchM: arking.
