Antitumor activity of the PI3K δ-sparing inhibitor MEN1611 in PIK3CA mutated, trastuzumab-resistant HER2 + breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Research and Treatment 2023 March 14
PURPOSE: Dysregulation of the PI3K pathway is one of the most common events in breast cancer. Here we investigate the activity of the PI3K inhibitor MEN1611 at both molecular and phenotypic levels by dissecting and comparing its profile and efficacy in HER2 + breast cancer models with other PI3K inhibitors.
METHODS: Models with different genetic backgrounds were used to investigate the pharmacological profile of MEN1611 against other PI3K inhibitors. In vitro studies evaluated cell viability, PI3K signaling, and cell death upon treatment with MEN1611. In vivo efficacy of the compound was investigated in cell line- and patient-derived xenografts models.
RESULTS: Consistent with its biochemical selectivity, MEN1611 demonstrated lower cytotoxic activity in a p110δ-driven cellular model when compared to taselisib, and higher cytotoxic activity in the p110β-driven cellular model when compared to alpelisib. Moreover, MEN1611 selectively decreased the p110α protein levels in PIK3CA mutated breast cancer cells in a concentration- and proteasome-dependent manner. In vivo, MEN1611 monotherapy showed significant and durable antitumor activity in several trastuzumab-resistant PIK3CA-mutant HER2 + PDX models. The combination of trastuzumab and MEN1611 significantly improved the efficacy compared to single agent treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: The profile of MEN1611 and its antitumoral activity suggest an improved profile as compared to pan-inhibitors, which are limited by a less than ideal safety profile, and isoform selective molecules, which may potentially promote development of resistance mechanisms. The compelling antitumor activity in combination with trastuzumab in HER2 + trastuzumab-resistant, PIK3CA mutated breast cancer models is at the basis of the ongoing B-Precise clinical trial (NCT03767335).
