BI-847325 showed a broader range of activity than the MEK inhibitor GDC-0623. In conclusion, dual MEK/Aurora kinase inhibition shows remarkable potential for treating multiple types of hematological and solid tumors. The combination with capecitabine was synergistic in colorectal, gastric, and mammary cancer.
To the best of our knowledge, the antitumor effects of BI-847325/GANT61 combination have not been tested before. Further in-vitro and in-vivo studies are warranted to support the findings.
