GARD: Genomic Data-Based Drug Repurposing in Head and Neck Cancer with Large Language Model Validation. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Drug-gene mapping revealed candidates spanning those already in clinical trials for HNC (e.g., Afatinib, Cabozantinib, Dasatinib, Brigatinib, Lenvatinib, Capivasertib, and Erdafitinib) and emerging or repurposing candidates (Amuvatinib, XL765 (Voxtalisib), Golotimod, Artenimol, Quercetin, and Acetylsalicylic Acid), offering opportunities for precision repurposing...HPV stratification enhances precision, literature-based validation strengthens confidence, and integrated drug mapping enables refinement of existing therapies and discovery of novel candidates for personalized treatment strategies. Code Availability: The full implementation of the GARD pipeline, including preprocessing scripts, statistical analysis modules, and visualization tools, is publicly available on GitHub.
