Application of locked nucleic acids to improve aptamer in vivo stability and targeting function

…, S Borkowski, J Kurreck, AW Stephens… - Nucleic acids …, 2004 - academic.oup.com
Aptamers are powerful candidates for molecular imaging applications due to a number of
attractive features, including rapid blood clearance and tumor penetration. We carried out …

Linsitinib (OSI-906) versus placebo for patients with locally advanced or metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma: a double-blind, randomised, phase 3 study

…, T Fleege, R Rorig, J Chen, AW Stephens… - The lancet …, 2015 - thelancet.com
Background Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare, aggressive cancer for which few treatment
options are available. Linsitinib (OSI-906) is a potent, oral small molecule inhibitor of both IGF…
