According to curis's latest presentation and pdf they have been able to create a drug compound that will target two different pathways at the same time. Curis says that this will lower toxicity and target at vital pathways in cancer at the same time. They have already displayed that one of their compounds targets EGFR and another pathway they call "B". This dual inhibiton of their molecule(s) could prove to be a synergistic effect on cancer cells.


Rationalefor Multi-Target Inhibitors

  • The case for multi-targeted drugs
  • Heterogeneity of cells within tumors
  • Redundancy of proliferative and survival pathways
  • Potential synergies could lead to superior efficacy, which
    is expected to lead to reduced dosage and toxicity
  • Simultaneous inhibition of several cellular targets could
    reduce drug resistance in human malignancies"
