Gemcitabine | Gemzar | Difluorodeoxycytidine Hydrochlorothiazide|LY-188011 | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Gemzar (gemcitabine) is converted in cells to difluorodeoxycytidine di- and triphosphate (dFdCDP, dFdCTP), which act to inhibit ribonucleoside reductase and as a deoxynucleotide analog respectively, resulting in DNA strand termination and apoptosis (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Pictilisib | GDC-0941|GDC0941|GDC 0941 | PI3K Inhibitor (Pan) 42 | Pictilisib (GDC-0941) inhibits isoforms of PI3K, which inhibits PI3K/AKT signaling resulting in antitumor activity, including inhibition of tumor growth (PMID: 19584227). |

PIK3CA E545K | urinary bladder cancer | sensitive | Gemcitabine + Pictilisib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, Pictilisib (GDC-0941) and Gemzar (gemcitabine) synergistically inhibited Akt phosphorylation and growth of bladder cancer cells harboring PIK3CA E545K in culture (PMID: 28808038). | 28808038 |
PIK3CA amp | urinary bladder cancer | sensitive | Gemcitabine + Pictilisib | Preclinical - Pdx | Actionable | In a preclinical study, Pictilisib (GDC-0941) and Gemzar (gemcitabine) combination treatment resulted in inhibition of Akt phosphorylation and improved tumor growth inhibition and survival compared to single agent therapy in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of PIK3CA amplified bladder cancer (PMID: 28808038). | 28808038 |
