WG3: Translational medicine

Activities

This WG will pave the way towards a succesful transition from the preclinical to the clinical development of NRF2-targeted compounds. In this stage it is essential to identify reliable NRF2-related biomarkers to monitor disease progression and therapy outcome, equivalent both in patients and animal models. Thus, the main aim of WG3 will be to elaborate the template for future clinical trials on lead compounds identified in WG2 and to coordinate NRF2-related genetic and biochemical biomarker discovery in the selected NCDs.

Task

  • Identification of NRF2-related genetic and biochemical biomarkers using available databases of NCD patients and, in collaboration with WG2, identification of animal models of NCDs that faithfully replicate these human biomarkers.
  • Documentation of the panel of somatic mutations in the KEAP1/NRF2 system in non-small lung cancer that can be detected by cfDNA.
  • Documentation of clinical NFE2L2 genetic variants and endophenotypes, as well as drug response/resistance phenotypes of patients suffering from the subset of NCDs where NRF2 alterations have been identified;
  • Documentation of NRF2-related blood biomarkers and the design of a clinically-relevant biochip
  • Elaboration of the preliminary documentation for future clinical trials with compounds identified in WG2, that demonstrate efficacy in relevant animal models that replicate alterations in NRF2 pathophysiology.
