Novel therapeutic strategies that can effectively combine with immunotherapies are needed in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We demonstrate that combined PARP and WEE1 inhibition are synergistic in controlling tumour growth in BRCA1/2 wild-type TNBC preclinical models. The PARP inhibitor (PARPi) olaparib combined with the WEE1 inhibitor (WEE1i) adavosertib triggered increases in anti-tumour immune responses, including STING pathway activation. Combinations with a STING agonist resulted in further improved durable tumour regression and significant improvements in survival outcomes in murine tumour models of BRCA1/2 wild-type TNBC. In addition, we have identified baseline tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) levels as a potential predictive biomarker of response to PARPi, WEE1i and immunotherapies in BRCA1/2 wild-type TNBC.
三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)的治疗需要能够与免疫疗法有效结合的新型治疗策略。我们证明,在BRCA1/2野生型TNBC临床前模型中,PARP和WEE1联合抑制在控制肿瘤生长方面具有协同作用。PARP抑制剂(PARPi)奥拉帕利与WEE1抑制剂(WEE1i)阿伐替尼联合使用可引发抗肿瘤免疫反应增加,包括STING通路激活。与STING激动剂联合使用可进一步改善持久的肿瘤消退,并显著改善BRCA1/2野生型TNBC小鼠肿瘤模型的生存结果。此外,我们已确定基线肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞(TIL)水平是BRCA1/2野生型TNBC对PARPi、WEE1i和免疫疗法反应的潜在预测生物标志物。
