Description

Lucas Horn and a large team pair a chemokine blocker with chemotherapy against stubborn head and neck cancer. The cancers studied lack HPV links and often return after care. They run high in the call signals IL-8 and its docks, CXCR1 and CXCR2. Their 2024 study tests a small-molecule blocker of both docks, SX-682, in dishes and in mice.

In dishes the blocker made tumor cells easier for the drug docetaxel to kill. In mice the pair gave strong tumor control and outright cures in graft models. The win came with a rise in a small RNA tied to less spread. Immune makeup inside the tumors also shifted. The team backs trials of the pair for this hard group.
