The novel DNA cross-linking agent KL-50 is active against patient-derived models of new and recurrent post-temozolomide mismatch repair-deficient glioblastoma
10 Dec 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Acquired resistance to temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy due to DNA mismatch repair (MMR) enzyme deficiency is a barrier to improving outcomes for isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type glioblastoma (GBM) patients. KL-50 is a new imidazotetrazine-based therapeutic designed to induce DNA interstrand cross-links, and subsequent double-stranded breaks, in an MMR-independent manner in cells with...
