Trabectedin mechanism of action and platinum resistance: molecular rationale.
Future Oncology 2017 October
Trabectedin presents a complex mode of action affecting key cell biology processes in tumor cells and in the tumor microenvironment. In ovarian cancer patients with a platinum treatment-free interval of 6-12 months treated with trabectedin + pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) or single-agent PLD, and retreated with platinum after relapse, overall survival was significantly prolonged in the trabectedin + PLD group. Mechanisms by which trabectedin restores tumor sensitivity to platinum include its interaction with components of the nucleotide excision repair machinery in tumor cells and inhibition of inflammatory mediators such as IL-6 in the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, BRCA mutations and associated homologous recombination repair deficiency may contribute to enhanced sensitivity to trabectedin observed in BRCA-mutated patients with ovarian cancer.
