Phase II Trial of the CDK4 Inhibitor PD0332991 in Patients With Advanced CDK4-Amplified Well-Differentiated or Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma

TLDR
Treatment with theCDK4 inhibitor PD0332991 was associated with a favorable progression-free rate in patients with CDK4-amplified and RB-expressing WDLS/DDLS who had progressive disease despite systemic therapy.
Abstract
Purpose CDK4 is amplified in 90% of well-differentiated (WDLS) and dedifferentiated liposarcomas (DDLS). The selective cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4)/CDK6 inhibitor PD0332991 inhibits growth and induces senescence in cell lines and xenografts. In a phase I trial of PD0332991, several patients with WDLS or DDLS experienced prolonged stable disease. We performed an open-label phase II study to determine the safety and efficacy of PD0332991 in patients with advanced WDLS/DDLS.

Thérapeutiques ciblées dans les tumeurs de l'os et des tissus mous : vers une prise en charge individualisée

TL;DR: Targeting the molecular anomalies which are characteristic of sarcomas could lead to improved patient survival, as has been demonstrated for gastrointestinal stroma tumours and dermatofibrosarcomas.

Epigenetic modulation in sensitizing metastatic sarcomas to therapies and overcoming resistance

TL;DR: Clinical attempts at modulating epigenetics in sarcoma are reviewed, as well as potential implications of these studies, and epigenetic targets to reverse and delay chemotherapy resistance are discussed.

Specific inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 by PD 0332991 and associated antitumor activity in human tumor xenografts

TL;DR: Results indicate that inhibition of Cdk4/6 alone is sufficient to cause tumor regression and a net reduction in tumor burden in some tumors.
