ASP2215 in the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia with FLT3 mutation: background and design of the ADMIRAL trial

1009 views | Jun 02 2019

Gorcea CM et al. showed that ASP2215 (gilteritinib) is a novel, dual FLT3/AXL inhibitor with promising early phase trial data (NCT02014558). [Read the Full Post]

Integrated analysis of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases identifies Axl as a therapeutic target and mediator of resistance to sorafenib in hepatocellular carcinoma

849 views | Apr 24 2019

Pinato DJ et al. found that suppression of Axl-dependent signalling influences the transformed phenotype in HCC cells and contributes to adaptive resistance to sorafenib, providing a pre-clinical rationale for the development of Axl inhibitors as a measure to overcome sorafenib resistance.

Interleukin 37 limits monosodium urate crystal-induced innate immune responses in human and murine models of gout

600 views | Nov 09 2018

Liu L et al. revealed that IL-37 limits runaway inflammation initiated by MSU crystal-induced immune responses, partly in a Mertk-dependent fashion. Thus, rhIL-37 has both preventive and therapeutic effects in gouty arthritis. [Read the Full Post]
