In vivo characterization of the synergistic effect of lurbinectedin (PM01183) combined with gemcitabine. Nude athymic mice bearing subcutaneous tumors (SW-1990 or MIA PaCa-2) sized ca. 150 mm3 were randomly allocated and treated with PM01183 (0.180 mg kg−1), gemcitabine (180.0 mg kg−1) or its combination [PM01183 plus gemcitabine (0.180 mg kg−1+180.0 mg kg−1)]. (A,B) Tumor growth (median) curves for mice bearing SW-1190 (A) or MIA PaCa-2 (B) tumors and treated with the highest doses of PM01183, gemcitabine or its combination. (C,D) Antitumor activity of each single or combined high-dosed treatment followed by T/C values, defined as the change in tumor volume for each treated (T) and placebo (C) group during the placebo-treated survival period for mice bearing SW-1190 (C) or MIA PaCa-2 (D). (E,F) Determination of tumor fraction affected (Fa) by treatments, calculated according to the formula Fa=1– T/C and combination index (CI) determined by the CI-isobol method for mice bearing SW-1190 (E) or MIA PaCa-2 (F). Statistically significant differences at P<0.01 (two-tailed Mann–Whitney U-test).
