A phase II clinical trial of poziotinib for non-small cell lung cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor exon 20 mutations, led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, found the drug had significant antitumor activity and the efficacy was highly dependent on the location of the exon 20 loop insertion, which may impact future clinical trials for EGFR exon 20 targeted therapies.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and collaborators are initiating a research project that will send T cells to the International Space Station to study the effects of prolonged microgravity on cell differentiation, activation, memory, and exhaustion.
