Title:
Combined PDE4+MEK inhibition shows antiproliferative effects in NRASQ61 mutated melanoma preclinical models
Published date:

Excerpt:
In this study, we generated patient-derived xenografts (PDX) from two NRASQ61mut melanoma lesions. We performed ex vivo histoculture drug response assays and in vivo experiments. A significant ex vivo inhibition of proliferation with the combination of roflumilast+cobimetinib was observed compared to dimethyl sulfoxyde control in both models (51 and 67%). This antiproliferative effect was confirmed in vivo for PDX-1 with a 56% inhibition of tumor growth.
