Title:

Antitumor Activity in RAS-Driven Tumors by Blocking AKT and MEK

Excerpt:
In A2058 melanoma xenograft mouse models harboring a BRAF V600E mutation and PTEN loss, but not KRAS or PIK3CA mutations, only modest antitumor activity was observed with MK-2206 and selumetinib monotherapy, whereas combination treatment again demonstrated enhanced antitumor responses (Supplementary Fig. S2; Supplementary Table S3).
