At the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Virtual Congress 2020, Dr Cristina Suarez from the Hospital Universitari Vall D’Hebron and Vall D’Hebron Institute of Oncology in Barcelona, Spain presented an update of the clinical data from the phase 2 study of oral HIF-2a MK-6482 in Von Hippel-Lindau disease-associated cancers. Von Hippel-Lindau disease is a […]
Results from a phase II international trial led by researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center in America were presented during the 2020 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Virtual Scientific Program. The trial showed treatment with a novel hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-2 alpha inhibitor (MK-6482) was well tolerated and resulted in clinical responses in patients with von […]
In this interview with Practice Update, Dr Eric Jonasch from MD Anderson Cancer Center in the USA talks about the the novel hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-2 alpha inhibitor for the treatment of previously treated advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Dr Jonasch described how HIF-2 alpha works and then went on to talk about the results […]
A randomised clinical trial of hypoxia inducible factor 2α (HIF-2α) inhibitor, MK-6482, was announced at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Genitourinary (GU) Cancers Symposium in San Francisco last weekend. HIF-2α is known to stimulate the growth of tumours via the von Hippel-Lindau (VLH) group of genes. MK-6482 (also known as PT2977) blocks the […]
In this video interview, Dr Eric Jonasch from MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, USA speaks about the use of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) 2alpha inhibitor for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) associated with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. Firstly, Dr Jonasch describes how HIF-2alpha combines with HIF-1beta to act as a transcription factor […]
Results from the first in human study of the HIF-2α inhibitor, PT2977 in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) were presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) conference in Barcelona over the weekend. Hypoxia inducible factor 2α (HIF-2α) is known to stimulate the growth of tumours via the von Hippel-Lindau (VLH) group of genes. PT2977 […]
A recent phase I/II clinical trial with PT2977, a hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-2α inhibitor, has shown encouraging anti-tumour activity with a favourable safety profile in patients with previously-treated advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Of the 55 patients who were treated with the HIF-2α inhibitor, 12 patients (22%) had a confirmed partial response. The study is still […]
Researchers in America are looking at a new class of anti-cancer drug, called hypoxia inducible factor-2a (HIF-2a) inhibitors. In a study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology initial findings with a novel drug belonging to the HIF-2a class of medicines show promise in treating metastatic kidney cancer. In the study, 51 patients with aggressive kidney cancer that had received an average […]
The results of a first-in-human phase I clinical trial with a new drug called PT2385 were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago last week. PT2385 is an inhibitor of hypoxia inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α), a transcription factor implicated in the development and progression of kidney and other […]
