Moreover, when used in combination with paclitaxel, one of the therapeutic options for recurrent ovarian carcinoma, PEP-010 showed a beneficial effect leading to the reduction of the IC50 of paclitaxel of 2.2 times and to apoptosis in 87% of cells. The described results suggest the potential therapeutic interest for PEP-010 and lead to the choice of ovarian adenocarcinoma as one of the major indications of the ongoing clinical trial.

The proapoptotic peptide PEP-010 is efficient on several models of different tumor origins and it can be monitored by pharmacodynamic biomarker candidates in clinical practice (AACR 2023)

We have compared specific features related to the mechanism-of-action of PEP-010 in sensitive (MDA-MB-231, IGROV1) and not sensitive cell models of different tumor origins and in tissue sections derived from Patient-Derived Xenografts models of breast cancer treated or not with PEP-010. Widely used techniques as immunofluorescent staining and immunohistochemistry were employed, making these results easily transferable in clinical routine.Taken together, our pre-clinical data showed the potential of PEP-010 as an anti-cancer peptide on a wide variety of malignancies and enabled the identification of pharmacodynamic biomarker candidates, important to ease the clinical development.
