Title:

Combined inhibition of PARP and ATR synergistically potentiates the antitumor activity of HER2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate in HER2-positive cancers

Excerpt:
Combined use of AZD2281 and BAY1895344 synergistically potentiated the inhibitory effects of DS-8201 on the growth of HER2-positive cancer cells, inducing DNA damage and apoptosis, but had no effect on HER2-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Our data demonstrate that DS-8201 and DNA damage repair inhibitors together have synergistic anticancer effects in NCI-N87 xenograft models...Collectively, our results indicate that the combination of DS-8201, BAY1895344, and AZD2281 exerts significant synergistic antitumor activity, suggesting that DNA damage-repair inhibitors in combination with HER2-targeted ADCs is a potential approach for treating HER2-positive malignancies, offering a promising strategy for future clinical applications.
