Abstract Text

The objective of tailoring medicines for cancer patients according to the molecular profile of their disease holds great promise for the improvement of cancer therapy. Nevertheless, this approach has been limited, in part, due to the lack of predictive and informative preclinical studies. Herein, we describe an assessment of the therapeutic potential of targeting PI3K/mTOR and MAPK signaling in genetically defined mouse models of colorectal cancer mirroring disease subtypes targeted for novel therapy in the FOCUS4 trial. Our studies demonstrate that dual PI3K/mTOR inhibition is highly effective in invasive adenocarcinoma models characterized by combinatorial mutations in Apc and Pten; Apc and Kras; and Apc, Pten and Kras. MEK inhibition was effective in the combinatorial Apc and Kras setting, but had no impact in either Apc Pten mutants or in Apc Pten Kras triple mutants. Furthermore, we describe the importance of scheduling for combination studies and show that although no additional benefit is gained in Apc Pten mice, combination of PI3K/mTOR and MAPK inhibition leads to an additive benefit in survival in Apc Kras mice and a synergistic increase in survival in Apc Pten Kras mice. This is the first study using robust colorectal cancer genetically engineered mouse models to support the validity of PI3K/mTOR and MEK inhibitors as tailored therapies for colorectal cancer and highlight the potential importance of drug scheduling in the clinic.

Filtering

Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
Use simple literal full or partial string matches
Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

APC inact mut PTEN inact mut	colorectal cancer	sensitive	Dactolisib	Preclinical	Actionable	In a preclinical study, BEZ235 inhibited PI3K/mTOR signaling in tumors and increased survival in transgenic animal models of colorectal cancer driven by APC and PTEN inactivation (PMID: 26206338).	26206338
APC inact mut PTEN inact mut	colorectal cancer	no benefit	Binimetinib	Preclinical	Actionable	In a preclinical study, Binimetinib (MEK162) reduced proliferation in tumors acutely but did not improve survival in transgenic animal models of colorectal cancer driven by APC and PTEN inactivation (PMID: 26206338).	26206338
APC inact mut PTEN inact mut	colorectal cancer	no benefit	Binimetinib + Dactolisib	Preclinical	Actionable	In a preclinical study, combination of BEZ235 and Binimetinib (MEK162) did not improve survival compared to single agent in transgenic animal models of colorectal cancer driven by APC and PTEN inactivation (PMID: 26206338).	26206338
