Introduction: As part of an analysis on the extension of the HPV vaccination to French boys, the French National Cancer Institute (INCa) and the French National Authority for Health (HAS) have conducted in collaboration a survey on HPV vaccine acceptance in July 2019. This survey was completed by parents of children aged 11-19 and general practitioners (GPs). Questions focused on their representations, practices and intentions in the context of the future policy change allowing boys to get vaccinated against HPV.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of HES 130/0.4 compared with 0.
A new series of IGF-1R inhibitors related to hydantoins were identified from a lead originating from HTS. Their noncompetitive property as well as their slow binding characteristics provided a series of compounds with unique selectivity and excellent cellular activities.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFInsulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) is overexpressed in many tumours and contributes to tumourigenicity, cell proliferation, metastasis and resistance, thus representing a promising therapeutic target. The human IGF-1R antagonistic monoclonal antibody EM164 (murine AVE1642) has shown activity in adult cancers and is being evaluated in patients with advanced malignancies. We investigated the EM164 for its therapeutic potential against childhood neuroblastoma.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFrom an azaindole lead, identified in high throughput screen, a series of potent bis-azaindole inhibitors of IGF1-R have been synthesized using rational drug design and SAR based on a in silico binding mode hypothesis. Although the resulting compounds produced the expected improved potency, the model was not validated by the co-crystallization experiments with IGF1-R.
