TLDR
This is the first phase II study to definitively show RECIST-defined responses for 17-AAG in solid tumors and has significant anticancer activity in patients with HER2-positive, metastatic breast cancer previously progressing on trastuzumab.Abstract:
Purpose: HSP90 is a chaperone protein required for the stability of a variety of client proteins. 17-Demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) is a natural product that binds to HSP90 and inhibits its activity, thereby inducing the degradation of these clients. In preclinical studies, HER2 is one of the most sensitive known client proteins of 17-AAG. On the basis of these data and activity in a phase I study, we conducted a phase II study of 17-AAG (tanespimycin) with trastuzumab in advanced trastuzumab-refractory HER2-positive breast cancer. Experimental Design: We enrolled patients with metastatic HER2 + breast cancer whose disease had previously progressed on trastuzumab. All patients received weekly treatment with tanespimycin at 450 mg/m 2 intravenously and trastuzumab at a conventional dose. Therapy was continued until disease progression. The primary endpoint was response rate by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Results: Thirty-one patients were enrolled with a median age of 53 years and a median Karnofsky performance status (KPS) of 90%. The most common toxicities, largely grade 1, were diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, and headache. The overall response rate was 22%, the clinical benefit rate [complete response + partial response + stable disease] was 59%, the median progression-free survival was 6 months (95% CI: 4–9), and the median overall survival was 17 months (95% CI: 16–28). Conclusions: This is the first phase II study to definitively show RECIST-defined responses for 17-AAG in solid tumors. Tanespimycin plus trastuzumab has significant anticancer activity in patients with HER2-positive, metastatic breast cancer previously progressing on trastuzumab. Further research exploring this therapeutic interaction and the activity of HSP90 inhibitors is clearly warranted. Clin Cancer Res; 17(15); 5132–9. ©2011 AACR .read more

Systems biomarkers for papillary thyroid cancer prognosis and treatment through multi-omics networks
TL;DR: In this paper , a meta-analysis of four transcriptome datasets was performed to identify gene expression signatures in PTC, and reporter molecules were determined by mapping gene expression data onto three major cellular networks, i.e., transcriptional regulatory, protein-protein interaction, and metabolic networks.

17-AAG enhances the cytotoxicity of flavopiridol in mantle cell lymphoma via autophagy suppression.
TL;DR: It is found that Hsp90 inhibitor 17-AAG can sensitize mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cells to flavopiridol by suppressing flavopIRidol-triggered protective autophagy.
