Health Research, Inc. (Roswell Park Division), operating as Health Research At Roswell Park in Buffalo, New York, received a $446,112 Project Grant from the National Cancer Institute under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2028. The award funds research to develop enhanced targeted therapies for colorectal cancer (CRC), specifically investigating the synergistic potential of combining mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase cascade inhibitors with GTP (guanosine triphosphate) synthesis inhibitors. The research addresses the substantial clinical need for improved treatment options in metastatic CRC, particularly for cases driven by BRAF and RAS-family oncogenic mutations. The grant supports preclinical and translational research activities, including in vitro and in vivo testing of ribavirin—a GTP synthesis inhibitor—in combination with MAPK kinase inhibitors using patient-derived xenografts and immunocompetent mouse models of metastatic CRC. Additionally, the research will evaluate whether the drug combination can be effectively integrated with immune checkpoint inhibitors to enhance therapeutic outcomes. Deliverables include experimental validation of drug synergy, characterization of treatment-induced changes in tumor-associated markers, and preliminary data to support potential advancement toward clinical application of this combination therapeutic strategy for colorectal cancer patients.Federal Grant Award Summary
