Varlitinib treatment potently inhibits tumor growth with complete tumor regression observed at dosing of 100 mg/kg twice a day. After five days of Varlitinib treatment, phosphorylation of HER1-3, RAS/RAF/MEK/MAPK, p70S6K, S6 ribosomal, 4EBP1, Cdk-2, Cdc-2 and retinoblastoma are strongly inhibited. Varlitinib treatment results in a significant reduction in survivin and a concomittant increase in Caspase 3 cleavage products^[1]. In murine xenograft models, Varlitinib (ARRY-334543) demonstrates significant dose-related (25, 50, 100 mg/kg) tumor growth inhibition in A431-derived tumors when administered orally, twice a day, for 21 days^[2].
