Integrating ctDNA-Based ESR1 m Monitoring Into First-Line Care for ER+, HER2– Advanced Breast Cancer: A Consensus Workflow

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is an emerging tool in precision oncology that enables noninvasive tumor profiling, detection of minimal residual disease, and treatment monitoring. Furthermore, routine ctDNA analyses offer the potential to support more personalized and dynamic canc...

Werner helicase inhibitor for advanced microsatellite instability solid tumors: a phase 1 trial

Abstract Werner syndrome helicase (WRN) is a synthetic lethal target for microsatellite instability (MSI) cancers. In part 1 of this ongoing first-in-human, phase 1 trial, escalating doses of RO7589831 (VVD-133214), a first-in-class, WRN covalent inhibitor, were evaluated in 88 p...

Performance and safety of a multi-cancer early detection test: the PATHFINDER 2 study

Abstract Early cancer detection improves survival; however, most cancer types do not have guideline-recommended screening. We previously reported the first PATHFINDER study that established feasibility of cancer screening with a blood-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tes...

Summary of Research: HER2CLIMB-05: A Phase III Study of Tucatinib Versus Placebo in Combination with Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab as First-Line Maintenance Therapy for HER2+ Metastatic Breast Cancer

This is a summary of a research article reporting the findings of the HER2CLIMB-05 trial (NCT05132582), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international, phase III trial. The HER2CLIMB-05 trial was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of adding tucatinib vers...

Elacestrant in Combination with Everolimus for Estrogen Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative Previously Treated Advanced Breast Cancer: Results from ELEVATE

PURPOSE: Treatment options for progression on first-line endocrine therapy (ET)+CDK4/6i for ER-positive/HER2-negative (ER+/HER2-) advanced breast cancer (ABC) include ET plus targeted agents (CDK4/6i or PI3K/AKT/mTOR-pathway inhibitors). Elacestrant is the first single-agent oral...

Codex: Planetary Adaptation and Human Sustainability Beyond Earth

Abstract Human existence is deeply tied to Earth’s environment—oxygen-rich air, stable gravity, and a biosphere optimized over millions of years. Yet the future of civilization demands expansion beyond Earth, into planets such as Mars and the Moon, which lack the fundamental cond...

Acquired resistance to the RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor daraxonrasib guides rational combination therapy strategies in pancreatic cancer

Abstract Daraxonrasib is an orally bioavailable RAS(ON) multi-selective tri-complex inhibitor of the oncogenic mutant and wild-type variants of N, H and KRAS. We previously reported encouraging efficacy in a phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating daraxonrasib monotherapy at clinical...
