Description
Preclinical study in uveal melanoma cell lines. Cell lines (n=4) with GNAQ mutation (92.1, Omm1.3, Mel270, Mel202) were more sensitive to BRD4 inhibition with JQ1 than GNAQ/GNA11 wild type (n=3) cell line. JQ1 also inhibited growth of a GNAQ mutant cell line (92.1) in a mouse xenograft model compared to vehicle (N=5 mice/group).
