Boundless Bio Presents Data on the Novel Discovery of the Association Between Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) and Replication Stress at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting 2022

Retrieved on: 
Friday, April 8, 2022

This study demonstrates ecDNA-enabled gene amplified cancers have inherently high replication stress, thereby providing a unique point of intervention for our novel ecDNA-directed therapeutics (ecDTx).

Key Points: 
  • This study demonstrates ecDNA-enabled gene amplified cancers have inherently high replication stress, thereby providing a unique point of intervention for our novel ecDNA-directed therapeutics (ecDTx).
  • While the drivers of replication stress remain unclear, excessive replication stress leads to extensive DNA damage and cancer cell death.
  • The results demonstrate ecDNA-enabled colorectal cancer cells have intrinsically elevated levels of replication stress and are hypersensitive to replication stress inducing agents.
  • These novel findings highlight replication stress as a potential synthetic lethal approach in ecDNA amplified cancers.
