This review will focus on recent therapeutic innovations for TNBC, including poly-ADP-ribosyl polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors.
This review discusses the potentials and drug discovery perspectives of PI3K/AKT/mTOR as a therapeutic target for effective management of TNBC with anticipated challenges.
The mutational profile of TNBC during treatment as inferred from patterns of mutant allele frequencies in matched pre-and post-NAC samples showed that RD harbored alterations of cell cycle progression, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor-resistance pathways.
Consequently, targeted therapies based on the interaction of PI3K inhibition with BRCA1 mutations or HR deficiency in TNBC may be a promising strategy for the treatment of patients with TNBC.
TBCRC 032 IB/II Multicenter Study: Molecular insights to AR antagonist and PI3K inhibitor efficacy in patients with AR+ metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.
The AKT inhibitor capivasertib has shown preclinical activity in TNBC models, and drug sensitivity has been associated with activation of PI3K or AKT and/or deletions of PTEN.
