Nottingham Personalised Therapy Oncology Research Group (NPTORG): Summary of Grant Funded Projects (2005 to 2013)

1. Project Title: Virtual cancer patient: simulated biomathmatical model for treatment personalisation in metastatic breast cancer (MBC)

The Virtual Cancer Patient (VCP) engine is a program designed to aid oncologists in predicting individual patient response to different drugs, through mathematically modelling the interplay between biological, pathological and pharmacological processes underlying drug-patient interactions. This project was a collaboration with Optimata, the programs developers, and aimed to test the accuracy of the VCP in predicting response to single agent Docetaxel or doxorubicin treatment in metastatic breast cancer patients. The primary end-point was to determine whether the VCP simulations retrieved the clinical scenario in terms of both response and toxicities.

Funding body 1: Cancer Research UK

Amount provided: £20,000.00

Funding Body 2: Optimata

Amount provided: £16,500.00

Chief Investigator: Dr Stephen Chan

Duration: 2006 to 2008

 

Biomarker Project

This project aimed to investigate the expression of redox proteins in breast cancer. Initially this focused on the thioredoxin family of proteins, examining if protein expression correlates with response to therapy in patients, with both early stage and locally advanced breast cancer. The projects second stage was then to discover if targeting the thioredoxin system, using either siRNA or novel drugs, can sensitise breast cancer cells to conventional therapies.

4.Project Title: Screening monoclonal antibodies for potential use in ovarian cancer

This project sought to aid the testing and development of monoclonal antibodies (mabs), generated through a platform, developed by Professor Lindy Durrant’s research group, which allows selection of mabs that efficiently kill tumour but do not harm normal cells. For this project mabs were selected which targeted ovarian cancer, these were then tested using fresh tumour obtained from donors. This testing allows the expression of molecules on ovarian tumours to be examined. The aim being to characterise the target of the mab, investigate the mechanism of action and determine its efficiency.

Funding Body 1: Medical Research Council

Amount provided: £100,000.00

Funding body 2: Cancer Research UK

Amount provided: £260,000.00
