Frequently asked questions about GDC-0941

What is GDC-0941 used for?

GDC-0941 is an investigational small molecule being studied in oncology for breast cancer, including locally recurrent and metastatic breast cancer, as well as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, solid cancers, and non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It is not approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

What does GDC-0941 target?

GDC-0941 is a PI3-kinase inhibitor. It targets phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), a lipid kinase involved in cell growth and survival signaling. By inhibiting PI3K, GDC-0941 is designed to interfere with signaling pathways that drive tumor cell proliferation and survival.

Who is developing GDC-0941?

GDC-0941 is being developed by Roche Holding AG, which trades on the OTC market under the ticker RHHBY. Roche is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating GDC-0941 in breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and other solid tumors.

What phase is GDC-0941 in?

GDC-0941 is in Phase 2 clinical development. Two Phase 2 trials have been completed, and additional Phase 1 trials have also been completed. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is GDC-0941 in?

GDC-0941 has been evaluated in completed trials including NCT01740336, a Phase 2 study of paclitaxel with GDC-0941 versus paclitaxel with placebo in locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer, and NCT01437566, a Phase 2 study of GDC-0941 or GDC-0980 with fulvestrant in advanced or metastatic breast cancer resistant to aromatase inhibitor therapy. Phase 1 trials include NCT00975182 and NCT00974584.
