in vivo
In the NCI-H2122 KRASG12C mutant non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) xenograft model, treatment with up to 5 mg/kg Cobimetinib (GDC-0973) lead to moderate TGI and at 10 mg/kg approaches tumor stasis[1]. GDC-0973 and GDC-0941 are administered to A2058 tumor-bearing mice daily (QD) or every third day (Q3D) either as single agents or in combination. The population rate constants associated with tumor growth inhibition for GDC-0973 and GDC-0941 are 0.00102 and 0000651 μM-1 h-1, respectively[2]. Following single doses of GDC-0973 (1, 3, or 10 mg/kg, p.o.) estimated in vivo IC50 values of %pERK decrease based on tumor concentrations in xenograft mice are 0.78 (WM-266-4) and 0.52 μM (A375)[3].
