All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be forward‑looking statements. Statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including, among others, statements regarding future capital expenditures and debt service obligations, are forward‑looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward‑looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward‑looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward‑looking statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the following: · the initiation, timing, progress and results of our preclinical studies and clinical trials, and our research and development programs; · our ability to advance product candidates into, and successfully complete, clinical trials; · our reliance on the success of our product candidates; · the timing or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals; · our ability to expand our sales and marketing capabilities; · the commercialization of our product candidates, if approved; · the pricing and reimbursement of our product candidates, if approved; · the implementation of our business model, strategic plans for our business, product candidates and technology; · the scope of protection we are able to establish and maintain for intellectual property rights covering our product candidates and technology; · our ability to operate our business without infringing the intellectual property rights and proprietary technology of third parties; · cost associated with defending intellectual property infringement, product liability and other claims; · regulatory development in the United States, Europe and other jurisdictions; · estimates of our expenses, future revenues, capital requirements and our needs for additional financing; · the potential benefits of strategic collaboration agreements and our ability to enter into strategic arrangements; · our ability to maintain and establish collaborations or obtain additional grant funding; · the rate and degree of market acceptance of our product candidates; · developments relating to our competitors and our industry, including competing therapies; · our ability to effectively manage our anticipated growth; · our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and key personnel; · our ability to achieve cost savings and benefits from our efforts to streamline our operations and to not harm our business with such efforts; · our expectations regarding the period during which we qualify as an emerging growth company under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act); · statements regarding future revenue, hiring plans, expenses, capital expenditures, capital requirements and share performance; · litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending pending or threatened claims and any adverse outcomes or settlements not covered by insurance; · our expected use of cash and cash equivalents and other sources of liquidity; · the future trading price of the shares of our common stock and impact of securities analysts’ reports on these prices; and · other risks and uncertainties, including those listed under the caption “Risk Factors.” The forward‑looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are only predictions, and we may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations included in our forward‑looking statements. We have based these forward‑looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Because forward‑looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward‑looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward‑looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward‑looking statements. 4 Table of Contents Kadmon Holdings, Inc.

  • Deciphering Molecular Mechanisms and Prioritizing Therapeutic Targets in Cardio-Oncology
    Figure 1. This is a pilot view to explore the potential of EpiGraphDB to inform us about proteins that are linked to the pathophysiology of cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD). For each cancer type (pink diamonds), we searched for cancer related proteins (light blue circles) that interact with other proteins identified as protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) for CVD (red diamonds for pathologies, orange triangles for risk factors). These pQTLs can be acting in cis (solid lines) or trans-acting (dotted lines). Proteins can interact either directly, a protein-protein interaction (dotted blue edges), or through the participation in the same pathway (red parallel lines). Shared pathways are represented with blue hexagons. We also queried which of these proteins are targeted by existing drugs. We found that the cancer drug cetuximab (yellow circle) inhibits EGFR. Other potential drugs are depicted in light brown hexagonal meta-nodes that are detailed below.

The limited efficacy of targeted agents is due to the molecular divergence between leptomeningeal recurrences and primary site, as well as the presence of a heterogeneous blood-brain barrier and blood-tumor barrier that interfere with the penetration of drugs into the brain. The diagnosis of leptomeningeal metastases is achieved by neurological examination, and/or brain and spinal magnetic resonance, and/or a positive cerebrospinal fluid cytology. The presence of neoplastic cells in the cerebrospinal fluid examination is the gold-standard for the diagnosis of leptomeningeal metastases; however, novel techniques known as “liquid biopsy” aim to improve the sensitivity and specificity in detecting circulating neoplastic cells or DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid. Targeted therapies and immunotherapies have changed the natural history Citation: Pellerino, A.; Brastianos, of metastatic solid tumors, including lung, breast cancer, and melanoma.

Currently, the major targets of clinical utility in breast cancer include the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor, mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, and the cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK-4/6) pathway. Brain metastasis, however, remains a thorn in the flesh, leading to morbidity, neuro-cognitive decline, and interruptions in the management of systemic disease. Approximately 20%–30% of patients with metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastases. Surgery, whole brain radiation therapy, and stereotactic radiosurgery are the traditional treatment options for patients with brain metastases. The therapeutic paradigm is changing due to better understanding of the blood brain barrier and the advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies. Several of these agents are in clinical practice and several others are in early stage clinical trials. In this article, we will review the common targetable pathways in the management of breast cancer patients with brain metastases, and the current state of the clinical development of drugs against these pathways.

Molecular targeted inhibitors inhibit the activities of pathogenic tyrosine kinases. Particularly, aberrant receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activation is a potential therapeutic target. An increased understanding of genetics, cellular biology and structural biology has led to the development of numerous important therapeutics. Pathogenic RTK mutations, deletions, translocations and amplification/over-expressions have been identified and are currently being examined for their roles in cancers. Therapies targeting RTKs are categorized as small-molecule inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies. Studies are underway to explore abnormalities in 20 types of RTK subfamilies in patients with cancer or other diseases. In this review, we describe representative RTKs important for developing cancer therapeutics and predicting or evaluated resistance mechanisms.

We report three Yo u L u 2 cases of NSCLC with LM who were treated with the combination of nimotuzumab and fi Xiaomei Su1 erlotinib. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) evaluation during follow-up showed signi - Peng Cheng1 cant improvement in cancer symptoms and decreased tumor size in all three patients.
