A fix to PI3K cancer drugs' immune toxicity? Lessons from an Amgen candidateThe FDA recently put the spotlight on the concerning side effects of marketed PI3K inhibitors for blood cancers. Similarly, investigators in the U.K. recorded a high level of side effects among head and neck cancer patients taking an experimental PI3K inhibitor by Amgen in a clinical trial.
Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) and the University of Liverpool decided to get to the bottom of the problem by studying patient samples and better understanding the effect of PI3K inhibition in mice.
In a new study published in Nature, the team provided timely clues as to why the drug class causes immune-mediated toxicities and offered a possible solution to them: dose adjustment.
