This study used a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model to evaluate the effectiveness of different drugs against desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT). It was found that doxorubicin, pazopanib, and larotrectenib had moderate antitumor effects, while trabectedin had higher activity. Vinorelbine, irinotecan, and eribulin achieved nearly complete tumor growth inhibition. The combination of irinotecan with either eribulin or trabectedin resulted in complete responses. This study highlights the importance of patient-derived preclinical models in exploring new treatments for DSRCT.
This study exploited a novel patient-derived xenograft (PDX) of desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT), which reproduces histomorphological and molecular characteristics of the clinical tumor, to assess the activity of cytotoxic and targeted anticancer agents. Antitumor effect was moderate for doxorubicin, pazopanib and larotrectenib [maximum tumor volume inhibition (max TVI), 55-66%], while trabectedin had higher activity (max TVI, 82%). Vinorelbine, irinotecan and eribulin achieved nearly complete tumor growth inhibition (max TVI, 96-98%), although tumors regrew after the end of treatment. The combination of irinotecan with either eribulin or trabectedin resulted in complete responses, which were maintained until the end of the experiment for irinotecan plus trabectedin. Irinotecan-based combinations nearly abrogated the expression of proteins of the G2/M checkpoint, preventing cell entrance in mitosis, and induced apoptotic and necroptotic cell death. Consistently, irinotecan plus trabectedin resulted in reprogramming of DSCRT transcriptome, with downregulation of E2F targets, G2/M checkpoint and mitotic spindle gene sets. This study emphasizes the importance of patient-derived preclinical models to explore new treatments for DSRCT and fosters clinical investigation into the activity of irinotecan plus trabectedin.
