Journal ArticleDOI

KIT as a therapeutic target in metastatic melanoma

TL;DR: Among patients with advanced melanoma harboring KIT alterations, treatment with imatinib mesylate results in significant clinical responses in a subset of patients, indicating positive selection for the mutated allele.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Phase I Clinical Trial of Safingol in Combination with Cisplatin in Advanced Solid Tumors

TL;DR: Reversible dose-dependent hepatic toxicity was seen, as expected from preclinical data, and safingol, the first putative SphK inhibitor to enter clinical trials, can be safely administered in combination with cisplatin.
Journal ArticleDOI

A phase II study of imatinib mesylate (IM) for patients with advanced melanoma harboring somatic alterations of KIT

TL;DR: While IM has limited activity in a non-selected melanoma pt population, a substantial proportion of melanomas harboring KIT mut or amp appear to respond and it may be possible to identify appropriate pts prospectively for treatment with IM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase I Study of Flavopiridol with Oxaliplatin and Fluorouracil/Leucovorin in Advanced Solid Tumors

TL;DR: Encouraging results in the platinum-refractory germ cell tumor population has prompted a phase II trial that is currently open for accrual, and Flavopiridol with FOLFOX is a safe and tolerable regimen.
