This Project Grant award of $487,393.00 from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research (CFDA 93.393) program supports research on backup DNA repair mechanisms in homologous recombination deficient (HRD) cancers. The research aims to determine the role of key proteins like RAD52, HELQ, and POLQ in backup double-strand break repair pathways when the primary homologous recombination pathway is inactivated in certain cancer types. The goal is to identify...

This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 Cancer Treatment Research) to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, totaling $713,601, supports a research project titled "Homologous Recombination Repair Pathway Mutations and Genetic Mechanisms Shaping Anti-Tumor Immunity and Immunotherapy Efficacy". The research aims to elucidate how defects in the homologous recombination DNA repair pathway influence the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade therapies in cancer treatment. Key objectives include characterizing the mechanisms underlying differential immunogenicity between BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutant tumors, assessing the impact of homologous recombination repair defects on immunotherapy response in human tumors, and examining mechanisms of acquired resistance in homologous recombination defective tumors that progress after immunotherapy. The project period runs from Aug 1, 2025 to Jul 31, 2030.
