Title:

Exploiting cancer cell vulnerabilities to develop a combination therapy for Ras-driven tumors

Excerpt:
In this model lung adenocarcinomas are induced by intranasal administration of adenoviral Cre, which causes the concomitant expression of a single KrasG12D allele and loss of p53 (termed LSL-KrasG12D/+; p53fl/fl)….Neither rapamycin nor IPI-504 induced tumor regression alone; however, combined rapamycin/IPI-504 treatment resulted in dramatic tumor shrinkage...6/8 mice exhibited this potent response and individual responding masses shrunk up to 82% as determined by MRI analysis...
