Excerpt:
In neuroblastoma, cell lines with MYCN amplification were more sensitive to KB-0742 treatment. KB-0742–treated neuroblastoma cells had decreased pSER2, loss of expression of MYCN and MYC, and an induction of cleaved PARP. KB-0742 treatment of a TH-MYCN transgenic mouse model resulted in regression of established tumors. In PDX models of ES and ARMS, KB-0742 treatment inhibited tumor growth.
