Journal ArticleDOI

Phase I safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic trial of ZD1839, a selective oral epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in patients with five selected solid tumor types.

TL;DR: ZD1839 treatment resulted in clinically meaningful disease stabilization across a range of tumor types and doses, and was generally well tolerated, with manageable and reversible AEs at doses up to 600mg/d and dose-limiting toxicity observed at 1,000 mg/d.
Journal Article

Trastuzumab (Herceptin), a Humanized Anti-HER2 Receptor Monoclonal Antibody, Inhibits Basal and Activated HER2 Ectodomain Cleavage in Breast Cancer Cells

TL;DR: It is proposed that the inhibition of HER2 cleavage and prevention of the production of an active truncated HER2 fragment represent a novel mechanism of action of trastuzumab.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of p95HER2, a Truncated Form of the HER2 Receptor, and Response to Anti-HER2 Therapies in Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Breast tumors that express p95HER2 are resistant to trastuzumab and may require alternative or additional anti-HER2-targeting strategies, and women with HER2-overexpressing breast cancers that express this receptor should be responsive to these agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

PKB/Akt mediates cell-cycle progression by phosphorylation of p27(Kip1) at threonine 157 and modulation of its cellular localization.

TL;DR: Data indicate that Akt may contribute to tumor-cell proliferation by phosphorylation and cytosolic retention of p27, thus relieving CDK2 from p27-induced inhibition.
