Abstract

Abstract Targeting the endocrine axis remains a mainstay of the treatment of many breast and most prostate cancers. Recent studies indicate that these tumors commonly remain nuclear steroid hormone receptor driven once endocrine resistance ensues. Multiple novel, rationally designed, agents are in development that are showing promise in the treatment of these diseases including drugs targeting p110beta, AKT, TORC1/2, as well as drugs targeting PARP, bromodomain proteins BRD2-4 and heat shock proteins including HSP90 and HSP27. Furthermore novel agents targeting the amino terminus of the androgen receptor and degrading these receptors are being evaluated. This presentation will describe challenges and solutions to their successful drug combination development. Citation Format: Johann S. De Bono. Combination strategies. [abstract].
