Description
A phase 1 clinical trial identified a patient with chemotherapy-refractory urothelial carcinoma who had complete radiographic response lasting 14 months after combined everolimus and pazopanib treatment. This patient was exome sequenced and two mutations co-occurring in MTOR were identified. Expression of these mutations in HEK293T cells demonstrated these were activating mutations. The authors propose that these two activating mutations are the reason for the dramatic response to mTOR inhibition and considered them as "biologically plausible" to confer sensitivity to everolimus.
