GDC-0941 is a potent, selective, oral inhibitor of PI3K. GDC-0941 appears to be selective for the p110α subunit of PI3K.
Targeting signals downstream from KIT and PDGFRA is one strategy being investigated for Gleevec-resistant GIST and for many cancers in general. One of the most promising downstream targets appears to be PI3K.
This drug was initially developed by Piramed in the United Kingdom.
