gemcitabine elaidate (CO 1.01)

Simultaneous inhibition of the PI3K/AKT and MEK pathways with ONC201 is an attractive approach to potentiate the effect of GEM. Our findings provide insight into rational-directed precision chemo and immunotherapy therapy in PDAC.

By normalizing the CAF barrier to create a CAF "barrel" with JQ1, stimulating the secretion of gemcitabine-loaded exosomes from the CAF "barrel" to the deep tumor site, and leveraging the CAF "barrel" to secrete IL-12, PI/JGC/L-A realized effective drug delivery to the deep tumor site, activated antitumor immunity at the tumor site, and produced significant antitumor effects. In summary, our strategy of transforming the CAF barrier into antitumor drug depots represents a promising strategy against PDAC and might benefit the treatment of any tumors facing a drug delivery barrier.
