I’ll have a three-drug combo, please
Combination therapy is a major strategy to circumvent the onset of treatment resistance in cancer patients; knowing which drugs to combine, however, can be difficult. Rashid et al. developed a computational platform to facilitate the discovery and optimization of drug combinations to treat multiple myeloma, a disease that often develops resistance to therapies containing the first-line drug bortezomib. The authors validated the combination treatments and refined the drug dosages in mouse models and ex vivo patient samples. Their platform requires no knowledge of which pathways to target and could more broadly aid drug repurposing efforts.
