Inhibitors of cancer-mediated bone destruction

Summary Current drugs for bone metastases merely prevent and slow the breakdown of bone, but are ineffective in slowing the spread of cancer. The current technology is a dual-acting bone defender (DABD), which acts to prevent bone destruction while simultaneously attacking cancer’s ability to spread. Technology Overview In many cancers, especially...

CD74 as a biomarker and therapeutic target for familial platelet (FPD) disorder

Summary Research at OHSU has identified the CD74 signaling cascade as a potential therapeutic target and diagnostic biomarker for RUNX1-mutated familial platelet disorder (FPD), which is a premalignant condition for acute myeloid leukemia. Technology Overview Current estimates suggest as many as 18,000 people may be living with RUNX1-FPD in the United...

Universal nanoprobes for imaging and treatment of cancer

Summary Medical imaging is currently incapable of detecting very small tumors and there is a need for new contrast agents that allow for earlier detection of cancers. The current technology is a self-assembled nanoprobe that specifically accumulates in a broad range of solid tumors to enable 1) high-resolution imaging for earlier cancer detection and...

Methods of treating venetoclax-resistant acute myeloid leukemia

SummaryAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is difficult to treat due to the genetic heterogeneity of the disorder and accompanying drug resistance observed in many patients. Oregon Health & Science University researchers have identified a new therapeutic approach to overcome venetoclax resistance and improve outcomes and prognoses for AML patients experiencing...

Mutation-specific treatment strategies for acute myeloid leukemia

Summary The implementation of targeted therapies for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has been challenged by complex mutational patterns within and across patients as well as a dearth of pharmacologic agents for most mutational events. Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) researchers have identified treatment strategies for a broad scope of AML...
