Clinical Pearls:

  • There is an unmet need for a novel agent that has a direct effect on the survival pathway in prostate cancer
  • mTOR is one of the recognized pathways in prostate cancer and clinical data suggests mTOR inhibitors demonstrate activity in patients with prostate cancer
  • Combining mTOR and HDAC inhibitors may be a more effective way to develop an mTOR inhibitor
