The April (and #AACR25) issue of Cancer Discovery is now online! The cover features work by Ling Cai, Nia Hammond, @faubert.bsky.social, @rjdlab.bsky.social & colleagues showing high glucose contribution to the TCA cycle is a feature of aggressive NSCLC - more here: aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscov...

Quick shout-out on these two collaborative networks (#BOLERO
and #COALA) during my presentation at #ELCC25.

Looking forward to advancing basic and translational research on #BRAF-mutant #NSCLC and other oncogene-driven #NSCLC.

MARIPOSA final OS analysis

❇️ Significant HR 0.75
❇️ 9% 3yr benefit
❇️ Projected mOS 4 years
❇️ Longer control of CNS disease

❗️At the cost of toxicity
❗️No data on duration of toxicity
❗️PROM and QoL data important

More effective than Osimertinib
Most suitable for higher risk pts

Three days of great science at the #EACR meeting on #persister cells. We presented our work on models of therapy-residual disease in #BRAF-mutant lung cancer.
Great to have part of the #COALA and #BOLERO crowds in Lyon !

Resistance to BRAFi + MEKi in #BRAF V600E melanoma patients is driven by activation of focal adhesion signaling.
Avutometinib (RAF-MEK clamp)
in combination with FAKi reverts resistance to BRAFi plus MEKi or to immunotherapy.

FAK inhibition combined with the RAF-MEK clamp avutometinib overcomes resistance to targeted and immune therapies in BRAF V600E melanoma
By transcriptomic analysis, Lubrano et al. demonstrate that FAK-regulated pathways are enriched in BRAFi+MEKi-resistant melanoma lesions. In BRAF V600E melanomas, MAPK inhibition decreases RhoE (RND3)...
