Furthermore, an estrogen receptor positive patient-derived tumor xenograft model harboring the AKT1-E17K mutation was used to assess the effect of ARQ 751 in combination with either fulvestrant or palbociclib or both agents. Combination of ARQ 751 at 25 mg/kg with either fulvestrant at 2.5 mg/kg or palbociclib at 50 mg/kg exerted tumor growth inhibition of 91% or 93%, respectively, as compared to 69% for ARQ 751, 68% for fulvestrant and 38% for palbociclib. When the three agents were combined, tumor regression (TGI >100%) was observed.
