Conclusions

Short-term Pazopanib treatment demonstrated single-agent activity in early-stage NSCLC

– 86% of patients experienced a reduction in

tumour volume

Acceptable safety profile

The CAF profile demonstrates that potential biomarkers could be predictive for response. Further evaluation in NSCLC trials is needed

Recombinant proteins –Standardized manufacturing (GSK’s expertise in

Biologicals)–Convenient to administer (intra-muscular, outpatient)

HMTs and HDMs regulate specific

In tumors, regulation of histone site

methylation is a mechanism to

regulate transcription:

– expression of oncogenes

– suppression of tumor

suppressors
