Journal ArticleDOI
Activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor underlying responsiveness of non-small-cell lung cancer to gefitinib
Thomas J. Lynch,Daphne W. Bell,Raffaella Sordella,Sarada Gurubhagavatula,Ross A. Okimoto,Brian W. Brannigan,Patricia L. Harris,Sara M. Haserlat,Jeffrey G. Supko,Frank G. Haluska,David N. Louis,David C. Christiani,Jeff Settleman,Daniel A. Haber +13 more
TL;DR: A subgroup of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer have specific mutations in the EGFR gene which correlate with clinical responsiveness to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib, and these mutations lead to increased growth factor signaling and confer susceptibility to the inhibitor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutations and Gene Amplification in Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Molecular Analysis of the IDEAL/INTACT Gefitinib Trials
Daphne W. Bell,Thomas J. Lynch,Sara M. Haserlat,Patricia L. Harris,Ross A. Okimoto,Brian W. Brannigan,Dennis C. Sgroi,Beth Muir,Markus J. Riemenschneider,Renee Iacona,Annetta D. Krebs,David H. Johnson,Giuseppe Giaccone,Roy S. Herbst,Christian Manegold,Masahiro Fukuoka,Mark G. Kris,José Baselga,Judith S. Ochs,Daniel A. Haber +19 more
TL;DR: EGFR mutations and, to a lesser extent, amplification appear to identify distinct subsets of NSCLC with an increased response to gefitinib, and the combination of gefithinib with chemotherapy does not improve survival in patients with these molecular markers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidermal growth factor receptor kinase domain mutations in esophageal and pancreatic adenocarcinomas.
Eunice L. Kwak,Janusz Jankowski,Sarah P. Thayer,Gregory Y. Lauwers,Brian W. Brannigan,Patricia L. Harris,Ross A. Okimoto,Sara M. Haserlat,David R. Driscoll,D. R. Ferry,Beth Muir,Jeff Settleman,Charles S. Fuchs,Matthew H. Kulke,David P. Ryan,Jeffrey W. Clark,Dennis C. Sgroi,Daniel A. Haber,Daphne W. Bell +18 more
TL;DR: The presence of activating mutations within EGFR in both esophageal and pancreatic adenocarcinomas defines a previously unrecognized subset of gastrointestinal tumors in which EGFR signaling may play an important biological role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of some head and neck cancers to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors may be linked to mutation of ERBB2 rather than EGFR.
Ezra E.W. Cohen,Mark W. Lingen,Leslie E. Martin,Patricia L. Harris,Brian W. Brannigan,Sara M. Haserlat,Ross A. Okimoto,Dennis C. Sgroi,Sonika Dahiya,Beth Muir,John R. Clark,James W. Rocco,Everett E. Vokes,Daniel A. Haber,Daphne W. Bell +14 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that unlike NSCLC, EGFR kinase mutations are rare in unselected cases of SCCHN within the United States and are not linked to gefitinib or erlotinib responses inSCCHN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in the neutral sphingomyelinase gene SMPD3 implicate the ceramide pathway in human leukemias
Woo Jae Kim,Ross A. Okimoto,Louise E. Purton,Meagan Goodwin,Sara M. Haserlat,Farshid Dayyani,David A. Sweetser,Andrea I. McClatchey,Olivier Bernard,A. Thomas Look,Daphne W. Bell,David T. Scadden,Daniel A. Haber +12 more
TL;DR: Observations suggest that disruption of the ceramide pathway may contribute to a subset of human leukemias, and specifically targeting Smpd3 is suggested.
