Abstract: A method of treating a neuroendocrine tumor in a subject is described. The method includes determining the level of expression of neuroendocrine differentiation markers and/or TRAIL signaling pathway markers by the tumor, and either treating the subject with a therapeutically effective amount of an imipridone compound if the level of expression of one or more markers is high or treating the subject with a higher dose of the imipridone compound or a different neuroendocrine tumor treatment method.

Abstract: A method of treating a subject having colon cancer with a small molecule drug for treating colon cancer is described. The method includes determining the effect of the small molecule drug on the release of a plurality of immunomodulating factors by colon cancer cells; and treating the subject with a therapeutically effect amount of the drug if the effect of the drug on the release of immunomodulating factors indicates that the drug promotes anti-tumor immunity, or selecting a different drug for treating colon cancer if the effect of the drug on immunomodulating factor release indicates that the drug does not promote anti-tumor immunity. Methods of evaluating ongoing treatment using the method are also described.

Abstract: A method of treating cancer, where the biomarkers are predictive of response to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade and GSK-3 inhibition, and which can be used in the method of treatment.

Abstract: The invention provides small-molecule inhibition of GSK-3 to increase efficacy of ICB and improve response in patients with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer, and possibly other tumor types. These results demonstrate 9-ING-41 in combination with ?PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides miRNA mimics targeting CDK4 and/or CDK6, and compositions comprising the same. Methods for the treatment of tumors, including but not limited to colon cancer, comprising administering a modified oligonucleotide comprising a miRNA are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method of reducing toxic side effects in a subject undergoing cancer treatment is described. The method includes administering an effective amount of a TRAIL compound to the subject.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions comprising miR-3132 and one or more pharmaceutical agents that upregulate TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) or activate TRAIL signaling pathway, and methods for treating a cancer comprising administering miR-3132, or a composition comprising miR-3132 and one or more pharmaceutical agents that upregulate TRAIL or activate TRAIL signaling pathway, to a subject.

Abstract: A method of treating tumors resulting in or from CNS metastasis in a subject is described. The method includes determining if the subject has an increased level of MDM2/MDM4 genes and/or proteins, and/or a decreased level of CDKN2A genes and/or proteins, and treating subjects having an increased level of MDM2/MDM4 genes and/or proteins with a combination of immunotherapy and an MDM2/MDM4 inhibitor, and/or treating subjects identified as having a decreased level of CDKN2A genes and/or proteins with a combination of immunotherapy and a CDK inhibitor.

Abstract: A method of treating or preventing COVID-19 in a subject in need thereof is described. The method includes administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an integrin inhibitor.

Abstract: Prodigiosin analogs which reactivate the p53 pathway are provided, as well as compositions of these compounds, and methods for reactivation of the p53 pathway using these compounds are provided. The prodigiosin analogs may be used to treat cancer in which p53 mutation plays a role, including prostate cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer, ovarian cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, and glioblastoma, among others.

Abstract: The inventors had earlier discovered a class of anticancer xanthine-related drugs that restores p53 activity in tumors with mutated p53 and perturbs an S-phase checkpoint. Based upon the properties of this class of p53-pathway restoring drugs, the inventors developed uses in cancer treatment. The invention provides drug combinations as new therapy regimens due to synthetic lethality in cancer models.

Abstract: Provided herein are compounds useful in treating diseases. In some embodiments, the disease is associated with regulation of hypoxia-induced factor 1? (HIF-1?).

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions comprising miR-3132 and one or more pharmaceutical agents that upregulate TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) or activate TRAIL signaling pathway, and methods for treating a cancer comprising administering miR-3132, or a composition comprising miR-3132 and one or more pharmaceutical agents that upregulate TRAIL or activate TRAIL signaling pathway, to a subject.
