TP53 and neoplasm: For example, the trial NCT01164995 (Study With Wee-1 inhibitor MK-1775 and Carboplatin to Treat p53 Mutated Refractory and Resistant Ovarian Cancer) is seeking ovarian cancer patients whose tumors harbor mutations in TP53. The rationale for this study is that pre-clinical data suggests that abrogation of the G2 checkpoint by inhibition of Wee-1 kinase results in sensitization of p53-deficient tumor cells to DNA-damaging agents [63].
