Preliminary results from a clinical trial led by the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute and Hospital del Mar show a good response to the drug in patients with metastatic tumours that did not respond to the usual treatment. It involves an inhibitor of a dual protein, mTORC1/2, which is key in tumour growth. The researchers had already demonstrated its effectiveness in in vitro and mouse models, in a study published in the journal Molecular Cancer Research.

Researchers from the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute have been able to prevent the growth of tumours and eliminate them using a treatment that combines chemotherapy with a protein inhibitor to prevent the repair of damaged DNA in cancer cells. The feasibility of this approach has been tested in mice, studying the evolution of metastatic colon tumours from human patients. The use of this drug combination will now be studied in human patients. The research has been published in the journal Molecular Cell.

Study published in Cancer Immunology Research
Ageing of NK lymphocytes (Natural killer cells) in HER2-positive breast cancer patients can predict the success or failure of targeted treatments. A blood sample is sufficient for detecting this possible resistance biomarker that, if validated, will allow the therapy to be adapted when the disease is diagnosed. This is the first study to identify NK lymphocyte ageing as a parameter that may condition their anti-tumour potential.
