TACE is required for the activation of the EGFR by TGF-α in tumors

TL;DR: It is shown that when its proteolytic shedding is prevented, the transmembrane form of the transforming growth factor‐α (proTGF‐α) interacts with, but does not activate, the EGFR, indicating a crucial role of TACE in tumorigenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A randomized study of lapatinib alone or in combination with trastuzumab in heavily pretreated HER2+ metastatic breast cancer progressing on trastuzumab therapy

TL;DR: The primary endpoint was PFS, and secondary endpoints were clinical benefit rate (CBR) at 24 wks, RR, and OS and preclinical data suggest synergy between L and T.
Journal ArticleDOI

First-in-human phase I study of the oral PI3K inhibitor BEZ235 in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors.

TL;DR: This phase I, multicenter, open-label, single-agent, dose-escalation, study was conducted in pts with histologically confirmed, advanced, unresectable solid tumors and anti-tumor activity of BEZ235 was assessed by CT and PET.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Abstract S3-3: First Results of the NeoALTTO Trial (BIG 01-06/EGF 106903): A Phase III, Randomized, Open Label, Neoadjuvant Study of Lapatinib, Trastuzumab, and Their Combination Plus Paclitaxel in Women with HER2-Positive Primary Breast Cancer

TL;DR: The NeoALTTO trial is testing the efficacy of lapatinib, trastuzumab or their combination together with paclitaxel when given as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with HER2-positive BC, and evaluating and comparing among the three arms the rate of pCR, defined as the absence of invasive cancer in the breast at the time of surgery.
