“…Notably, the TRAIL-R2 receptor DR5 was shown to be enriched in pancreatic CSCs compared with the bulk of tumor cells, and this is thought to account for the particularly potent effect of the anti-DR5 antibody tigatuzimab in combination with gemcitabine. 18 Thus, it is possible that Fn14, too, may be had previously responded to BIIB036 treatment, remained sensitive to a second cycle of treatment with BIIB036. Significantly, BIIB036 enhanced the sensitivity to several chemotherapeutic agents in multiple xenograft models with no overlapping toxicities, supporting the utility of BIIB036 in the combination setting.…”
