Pan-AKT Inhibitor Tumor Agnostic Targeting  was Safe and Effective in Phase One Study
BARCELONA, Spain—Patients with solid tumors expressing mutated AKT oncogenes responded to therapy with a pan-AKT inhibitor ipatasertib in a phase one study reported at the 2022 EORTC—NCI—AACR symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics.
Nearly a quarter of the patients treated with the AKT blocker had their tumors shrink. These included patients with breast, endometrial cancer and salivary gland cancers. And tumors remained stable in just over half of the remaining patients.
The first author at the Barcelona symposium, Kevin Kalinsky MD MS, Director of Breast Medical Oncology, Emory University at Winship Cancer Institute, Hematology and Medical Oncology, Atlanta, USA talks with Peter Goodwin.
