The clinical significance of interfering with the combined activities of PI3Kγ and PI3Kδ is determined by administering CAL-130 to Lck/Pten^fl/fl mice with established T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Candidate animals for survival studies are ill appearing, have a white blood cell (WBC) count above 45,000 μL^-1, evidence of blasts on peripheral smear, and a majority of circulation cells (>75%) staining double positive for Thy1.2 and Ki-67. Mice receive an oral dose (10 mg/kg) of CAL-130 every 8 hr for a period of 7 days and are then followed until moribund. Despite the limited duration of therapy, CAL-130 is highly effective in extending the median survival for treated animals to 45 days as compared 7.5 days for the control group^[1].
