A Convergence-Based Framework for Cancer Drug Resistance

Abstract

Despite advances in cancer biology and therapeutics, drug resistance remains problematic. Resistance is often multifactorial, heterogeneous, and prone to undersampling. Nonetheless, many individual mechanisms of targeted therapy resistance may coalesce into a smaller number of convergences, including pathway reactivation (downstream re-engagement of original effectors), pathway bypass (recruitment of a parallel pathway converging on the same downstream output), and pathway indifference (development of a cellular state independent of the initial therapeutic target). Similar convergences may also underpin immunotherapy resistance. Such parsimonious, convergence-based frameworks may help explain resistance across tumor types and therapeutic categories and may also suggest strategies to overcome it.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The modest benefits of KRASG12C inhibitors are attributable at least in part to resistance that almost invariably develops with single-agent therapy.

    “The modest benefits are attributable, at least in part, to resistance that almost invariably develops with single-agent therapy90–92.”
  • G12C-Is will have limited impact as single agents due to drug resistance.

    “These results suggest that, like other targeted therapies (Ahronian and Corcoran, 2017; Konieczkowski et al., 2018; Ryan and Corcoran, 2018), G12C-Is will have limited impact as single agents due to drug resistance.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
