    NASA Curiosity rover collects first Martian bedrock sample

    Feb. 9, 2013 ? NASA's Curiosity rover has, for the first time, used a drill carried at the end of its robotic arm to bore into a flat, veiny rock on Mars and collect a sample from its interior. This is the first time any robot has drilled into a rock to collect a sample on Mars.

    The fresh hole, about 0.63 inch (1.6 centimeters) wide and 2.5 inches (6.4 centimeters) deep in a patch of fine-grained sedimentary bedrock, can be seen in images and other data Curiosity beamed to Earth Saturday. The rock is believed to hold evidence about long-gone wet environments. In pursuit of that evidence, the rover will use its laboratory instruments to analyze rock powder collected by the drill.

    "The most advanced planetary robot ever designed is now a fully operating analytical laboratory on Mars," said John Grunsfeld, NASA associate administrator for the agency's Science Mission Directorate. "This is the biggest milestone accomplishment for the Curiosity team since the sky-crane landing last August, another proud day for America."

    For the next several days, ground controllers will command the rover's arm to carry out a series of steps to process the sample, ultimately delivering portions to the instruments inside.

    "We commanded the first full-depth drilling, and we believe we have collected sufficient material from the rock to meet our objectives of hardware cleaning and sample drop-off," said Avi Okon, drill cognizant engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.

    Rock powder generated during drilling travels up flutes on the bit. The bit assembly has chambers to hold the powder until it can be transferred to the sample-handling mechanisms of the rover's Collection and Handling for In-Situ Martian Rock Analysis (CHIMRA) device.

    Before the rock powder is analyzed, some will be used to scour traces of material that may have been deposited onto the hardware while the rover was still on Earth, despite thorough cleaning before launch.

    "We'll take the powder we acquired and swish it around to scrub the internal surfaces of the drill bit assembly," said JPL's Scott McCloskey, drill systems engineer. "Then we'll use the arm to transfer the powder out of the drill into the scoop, which will be our first chance to see the acquired sample."

    "Building a tool to interact forcefully with unpredictable rocks on Mars required an ambitious development and testing program," said JPL's Louise Jandura, chief engineer for Curiosity's sample system. "To get to the point of making this hole in a rock on Mars, we made eight drills and bored more than 1,200 holes in 20 types of rock on Earth."

    Inside the sample-handling device, the powder will be vibrated once or twice over a sieve that screens out any particles larger than six-thousandths of an inch (150 microns) across. Small portions of the sieved sample will fall through ports on the rover deck into the Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) instrument and the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument. These instruments then will begin the much-anticipated detailed analysis.

    The rock Curiosity drilled is called "John Klein" in memory of a Mars Science Laboratory deputy project manager who died in 2011. Drilling for a sample is the last new activity for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Project, which is using the car-size Curiosity rover to investigate whether an area within Mars' Gale Crater has ever offered an environment favorable for life.

    JPL manages the project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

    New drug is first to help patients with recurrent low-grade ovarian cancer

    Feb. 8, 2013 ? Low-grade serous ovarian cancer is less common and aggressive than the high-grade variety, yet exceptionally difficult to treat when frontline therapy fails.

    "After surgery, with or without pre-surgical chemotherapy, when low-grade serous ovarian cancer persists or returns, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy are relatively ineffective," said David Gershenson, M.D., professor in The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Department of Gynecological Oncology and Reproductive Medicine.

    Response rates for treatment are measured in single digits. Gershenson and colleagues have spent the greater part of 20 years characterizing the disease, which makes up 10 percent of ovarian cancer cases, and searching for new ways to treat it. Cancer recurs or persists in 80 to 85 percent of patients.

    A phase II clinical trial by the National Cancer Institute's Gynecological Oncology Group provides the first evidence of a drug that shows a relatively high response rate for these patients.

    Selumetinib halts growth or shrinks tumors

    In the first-targeted therapy clinical trial for low-grade serous ovarian cancer, eight of 52 (15 percent) patients had a complete or objective partial response (tumor shrinkage) and 34 (65 percent) had no disease progression during the two-year course of the study. Study results appear in the February edition of The Lancet Oncology.

    "These are remarkably encouraging results for what can ultimately be a devastating disease," said Gershenson, the paper's senior author.

    These patients have a median overall survival of 80 months, about twice as long as those with high-grade disease, who are typically in their 60s when diagnosed and comprise 90 percent of ovarian cancer patients. The average age of women with low-grade cancer falls in the early 40s, Gershenson said, and it's not uncommon to see women in their 20s, 30s and 40s and the occasional teenager with the disease.

    High-grade serous ovarian cancer is susceptible to chemotherapy upon relapse or recurrence.

    Median overall survival not reached

    Cancer-causing genetic mutations in BRAF and KRAS genes occur more frequently in low-grade ovarian cancer, so the researchers chose a drug that targets the molecular network that includes those genes.

    Selumetinib inhibits MEK1/2, a critical molecule in what's known as the MAPK pathway, which includes BRAF and KRAS.

    All 52 patients had received at least one previous therapy, with 30 having had three or more. Clinical trial results with selumetinib include:

    * Median progression-free survival of 11 months and 34 patients (65 percent) went at least six months without their disease worsening.

    * Two-year overall survival of 55 percent.

    * Median overall survival had not been reached, because more than half of patients (61 percent) remained alive at the time of data cutoff for the study.

    * No treatment-related deaths.

    Side effects ranged from cardio and gastrointestinal toxicity to pain, fatigue, anemia and dermatological effects. Of the 52 patients, 22 had their doses reduced and 13 ultimately left the study due to side effects.

    Researchers obtained tumor samples sufficient for DNA analysis from 34 patients. While 14 patients had KRAS mutations and two had BRAF mutations, there was no connection between having those mutations and whether the patients responded to selumetinib.

    Gershenson said researchers will further explore the question of matching drug to mutation during a larger phase 2/3 clinical trial that he will lead with investigators from the NCI Gynecological Oncology Group and the United Kingdom. The study will enroll 250 patients and is likely to begin later this summer.

    Phase 2 trials generally do not include a control or comparison group, but the team noted treatment results for 58 women not in the trial who were treated at MD Anderson with current options. Between them, these patients received 108 different chemotherapy regimens, which produced one complete and three partial responses for an overall response rate of 3.7 percent.

    A step toward personalized therapy for ovarian cancer

    In an accompanying commentary, Sven Mahner, M.D., and Jacobus Pfisterer, M.D., Ph.D., German oncologists who did not participate in the research, note that the study is a step toward individualized treatment for ovarian cancer that reflects important molecular differences between low-grade and high-grade disease.

    The response rate and disease stabilization rate are "particularly promising in a setting of heavily pretreated recurrent disease."

    "A strength of the study is mandatory reference pathology of recurrent disease to ensure exclusion of patients with progression to high-grade disease, who are likely to benefit from chemotherapy, and recurrent borderline ovarian tumors that have excellent prognosis with salvage surgery alone," Mahner and Pfisterer wrote.

    Co-authors with Gershenson are first author John Farley, M.D., of Creighton University School of Medicine at St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix; William Brady, Ph.D., and Heather Lankes Ph.D., of Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y.; Vinod Vathipadiekal, Ph.D., and Michael Birrer, M.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston; Robert Coleman, M.D., MD Anderson's Department of Gynecological Oncology; Mark Morgan, M.D., Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia; Robert Mannel, M.D., of University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City; S. Diane Yamada, M.D., University of Chicago; David Mutch, M.D., Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Mo., and William Rodgers, M.D., Lenox Hill Hospital, New York.

    The clinical trial was sponsored by the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program of the National Cancer Institute and funded by NCI grants (CA 27469 and CA 37517) to the Gynecological Oncology Group.

    Humble Damon cheers Oscar hopeful, friend Ben Affleck

    BERLIN (Reuters) - It seems that wherever Matt Damon goes to promote his movies he is asked about something else altogether - his old friend and collaborator Ben Affleck, whose Iranian hostage drama "Argo" is in the running for a Best Picture Oscar.

    Damon shared a screenplay Academy Award with Affleck for the 1997 film "Good Will Hunting" and has gone on to become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, with blockbusters including the "Ocean's Eleven" and "Bourne Identity" series.

    He was in Berlin on Friday for the festival premiere of "Promised Land", a tale set in rural America that tackles the controversial gas extraction technique known as "fracking".

    At a news conference following the press screening, the 42-year-old did not have to wait long for a question about Affleck, and, once again, he lavished praise on an actor who he said had endured his share of tough times.

    "His life is so interesting that I kind of never get tired of talking (about it)," Damon joked.

    Of the critical acclaim and string of awards for "Argo," he said: "I'm really happy for him. He certainly deserves it."

    "He's worked so hard and he's taken it on the chin for years from the press and just from everywhere. He was really in a rough spot 10 years ago," Damon told reporters, referring to the ridicule Affleck suffered during his romance with Jennifer Lopez and their 2003 movie flop "Gigli."

    The actor recalled Affleck once telling him he was "in the worst place you could be career-wise: I sell magazines and I don't sell movie tickets'."

    Damon singled out some "fantastic" performances by Affleck in recent years: "Hollywoodland," "The Town" and "Argo" itself, the last two of which he also directed.

    He would not, however, be drawn on the chances of "Argo" landing the big prize at the Oscars on February 24.

    PROMISED LAND "BOMBS"

    Less successful has been "Promised Land," which Damon readily admitted had "bombed" in the United States. It opens across Europe in February, March and April.

    According to Boxofficemojo.com, the movie earned just $7.6 million at the North American box office.

    "I'm leery of becoming one of those people who lives so much in a bubble that I just think everything I do is great," he said. "I try to be mindful of that and listen.

    "I've had a lot of movies that ... haven't been well received by an audience and I'm realistic about that, but with this one I just really love it and a big part of my heart is in it and I don't understand what I'm hearing back."

    He said it was possible that "Promised Land," also starring Frances McDormand and directed by "Good Will Hunting" filmmaker Gus Van Sant, would be appreciated more in the future.

    "I've had movies bomb worse than this one and then actually make their money back."

    "Promised Land" is one of 19 movies in the main competition at the Berlin film festival running from Thursday to February 17.
