Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate PIK3CA mutational status and c-erbB2 gene amplification in a series of primary uterine serous carcinomas (USC) cell lines. To assess the efficacy of GDC-0980, a potent inhibitor of Class I PI3 kinase and mTOR kinase (TORC1/2), against primary USC harboring HER2/neu gene amplification and/or PIK3CA mutations. STUDY DESIGN: Twenty-two primary USC cell lines were evaluated for c-erbB2 oncogene...
