Development and validation of a predictive score to identify K-Ras wild-type (WT) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients who are likely to benefit from Panitumumab (P) treatment

Background: Practice guidelines recommend using P to treat K-Ras WT mCRC patients where it was shown to significantly extend overall survival (OS). Still, a proportion of patients will not achieve this goal. We propose a simplified predictive score to identify patients who are likely to benefit from P treatment. Methods: NCT00364013 was used as training…

Analysis of transcriptomic responses to SARS-CoV-2 reveals plausible defective pathways responsible for increased susceptibility to infection and complications and helps to develop fast-track repositioning of drugs against COVID-19

Background: To understand the transcriptomic response to SARS-CoV-2 infection, is of the utmost importance to design diagnostic tools predicting the severity of the infection. Methods: We have performed a deep sampling analysis of the viral transcriptomic data oriented towards drug repositioning. Using different samplers, the basic principle of this methodology the biological invariance, which means…
