Title:

Combination of the PLK1 Inhibitor Onvansertib and the PI3Kα Inhibitor Alpelisib Overcomes Palbociclib Resistance in PIK3CA-mutated HR+ Breast Cancer.

Excerpt:
The combination of onvansertib and alpelisib synergistically inhibited cell viability and/or colony formation in three PI3KCA-mutant HR+ breast cancer cell lines…In the metastasis-derived PDX HBCx 134palboR31, the combination treatment induced pronounced tumor regression in 62% of mice (5/8), with complete response in 25% (2/8), while mice treated with the single agents showed tumor progression….Collectively, our preclinical findings suggest that co-targeting PLK1 and PI3Kα with onvansertib and alpelisib respectively, may constitute a promising therapeutic combination strategy for patients with PIK3CA-mutant HR+ breast cancer failing to respond to first-line standard of care therapies.
