Description
A panel of 26 HNSCC cell lines was tested for efficacy of the p110 alpha, delta and gamma isoform inhibitor taselisib (GDC-0032). Cell lines with PIK3CA mutation or amplification were the most sensitive. Four HNSCC cell lines with activating PIK3CA alterations showed synergistic cell death response to the combination of drug with radiation treatment. This synergism was not apparent in 4 tested HNSCC cell lines with wild-type PIK3CA or PTEN mutation. Nude mouse xenografts were established with Cal-33 PIK3CA H1047R cells. Radiation and taselisib treatments alone showed some growth inhibition in comparison to control, but only the combined treatment led durable tumor regressions.
