Lurbinectedin has antitumor activity against homologous recombination repair-deficient (HRD) cell lines. The mechanism involves irreversible stalling of elongating RNA polymerase II (Pol II) on DNA template and its specific degradation by the ubiquitin/proteasome machinery 2/4
Subsequently, recruitment of DNA repair factors including xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group F nuclease induces the accumulation of double-strand breaks and apoptosis as downstream events. These effects are increased in HRD cells 3/4
3/6 Patients' tumors or circulating tumor DNA were analyzed by NGS. The median progression-free survival was 4.2 months, the median overall survival was 9.6 months, and the overall response rate was 17.5%. #GU21@MCR_AACR@oalhalabimd#bcsmbit.ly/3d25A1U

# 2The Master Observational Trial (MOT)-->Patients are broadly accepted into the trial along with diagnosis + staging info. Biomarker testing results (both positive and negative) are collected & classified using methods shown in Figures 1A and 1B.
# 3High-level outcomes are collected in connection with each line of therapy. All of the information is tied together in a prospective observational registry using standardized reporting methods and metrics. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
