A randomized phase II study of ganetespib, a heat shock protein 90 inhibitor, in combination with docetaxel in second-line therapy of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (GALAXY-1)

TLDR
Advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients treated with ganetespib in combination with docetaxel had an acceptable safety profile and significant prolongation of PFS and OS was observed in patients >6 months from diagnosis of advanced disease, a subgroup chosen as the target population for the phase III study.

Induced protein degradation: an emerging drug discovery paradigm

TL;DR: Induced protein degradation has the potential to reduce systemic drug exposure, the ability to counteract increased target protein expression that often accompanies inhibition of protein function and the potential ability to target proteins that are not currently therapeutically tractable, such as transcription factors, scaffolding and regulatory proteins.

Targeting Oncogenic Mutant p53 for Cancer Therapy.

TL;DR: This review article comprehensively discusses the current strategies targeting oncogenic mutant p53 in cancers, with special focus on compounds that restore wild-type p53 transcriptional activity of Mutant p53 and those reducing mutants p53 levels.

Survival determinants in extensive-stage non-small-cell lung cancer: the Southwest Oncology Group experience.

TL;DR: The results suggest the need to modify the stage IV category in NSCLC and suggest that although several factors were independent variables in the Cox models, three important prognostic subgroups were easily defined through RPA.

HIF-1α Modulates Energy Metabolism in Cancer Cells by Inducing Over-Expression of Specific Glycolytic Isoforms

TL;DR: It is concluded that targeting the HIF1alpha-induced glucose transporter and hexokinase, important to glycolytic flux control, might provide better therapeutic targets for inhibiting tumor growth and progression than targeting HIF-1alpha itself.

Lactate dehydrogenase-5 (LDH-5) overexpression in non-small-cell lung cancer tissues is linked to tumour hypoxia, angiogenic factor production and poor prognosis

TL;DR: It is concluded that overexpression of LDH-5 is a common event in non-small-cell lung cancer, can be easily assessed in paraffin-embedded material and provides important prognostic information, particularly when combined with other endogenous markers of hypoxia and acidity.

Inhibition of heat shock protein 90 function down-regulates Akt kinase and sensitizes tumors to Taxol.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Hsp90 inhibitors can effectively suppress Akt activity in animal models of human cancer at nontoxic doses, thus sensitizing tumor cells to proapoptotic stimuli.
