Description PI3 Kinase is an oncogene that is commonly mutated in cancer. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway regulates cell growth and survival.
Development Status Phase I dose escalation trials evaluating GDC-0941 for solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are ongoing. Phase Ib clinical trials for metastatic breast cancer and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer are ongoing evaluating GDC-0941 in combination with targeted medicines, such as Avastin® (bevacizumab), Herceptin® (trastuzumab), and Tarceva® (erlotinib); and in combination with an investigational targeted agent, trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1). A Phase II clinical trial evaluating both GDC-0941 and GDC-0980 for second-line Estrogen Receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer is planned.
