Boundless Bio , a next-generation precision oncology company developing innovative therapeutics directed against extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) in oncogene amplified cancers, today announced plans to present at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2022, held in New Orleans and virtually from April 8-13, 2022.

Key Points: 
  • Boundless Bio , a next-generation precision oncology company developing innovative therapeutics directed against extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) in oncogene amplified cancers, today announced plans to present at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2022, held in New Orleans and virtually from April 8-13, 2022.
  • The in-person poster presentation reveals a novel association between ecDNA bearing tumors and high replication stress, presenting a potential therapeutic strategy for ecDNA-enabled oncogene amplified cancers.
  • ecDNA replicate within cancer cells and, due to their lack of centromeres, can be asymmetrically passed to daughter cells during cell division, leading to focal gene amplification and copy number heterogeneity in cancer.
  • Boundless Bio is a next-generation precision oncology company interrogating a novel area of cancer biology, extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA), to deliver transformative therapies to patients with oncogene amplified cancers.

Boundless Bio , a next-generation precision oncology company developing innovative therapeutics directed against extrachromosomal DNA in aggressive cancers, today will present a poster at the AACR-NCI-EORTC Virtual International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics.

Key Points: 
  • Boundless Bio , a next-generation precision oncology company developing innovative therapeutics directed against extrachromosomal DNA in aggressive cancers, today will present a poster at the AACR-NCI-EORTC Virtual International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics.
  • The poster, LBA005: Detection of KRAS amplification on extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) upon acquired resistance to KRASG12C inhibitors , is available to registered attendees starting at 9AM EST today.
  • ecDNA driven oncogene copy number amplifications, a mechanism that is distinct from second site mutations, is a frequent cause of resistance in cancer cells.
  • Boundless Bio, in collaboration with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Mirati Therapeutics, has shown that, in colorectal patients treated with KRASG12C inhibitors, ecDNA based amplification played an important role in resistance to KRASG12C inhibitor therapy.

  • These findings support previous Boundless Bio published work that ecDNA is an important underlying cause of cancer resistance and reinforces the critical need for novel therapeutic strategies to address ecDNA enabled cancers.
  • ecDNA replicate within cancer cells and can be passed to daughter cells asymmetrically during cell division, thereby constituting a primary driver of focal gene amplification and copy number heterogeneity in cancer.
  • Boundless Bio is a next-generation precision oncology company interrogating a novel area of cancer biology, extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA), to deliver transformative therapies to patients with previously intractable cancers.
