Research Interests
Our goals are to understand mechanisms of drug resistance in cancer cells and to develop more effective therapies. Current research ranges from biochemical and molecular studies in cellular models to Phase I, II and III clinical trials of new inhibitors of drug resistance and novel therapies such as multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors and activators of TRAIL signaling.
Laboratory projects include studies of the multidrug transporter P-glycoprotein, regulation of the MDR1 gene, the role of beta tubulin gene expression in resistance to taxanes and vinca alkaloids, and the use of gene expression profiling in discovering molecular and genetic determinants of outcomes in cancer treatment.
Clinical investigations include the prognostic significance of resistance gene expression in cancers, pharmacokinetic consequences of MDR modulation, development of new modulators of drug resistance, and clinical trials of a monoclonal antibody agonist of TRAiL-R2 receptor, as well as a small molecule inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinase signaling proteins. We have developed and are completing Phase II trials of the IFOX regimen (gefitininib, fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin) in advanced colorectal cancer. We are performing pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic studies to investigate determinants of response and toxicities in these patients.
