The inhibitory results of NVP-BEZ235 in CLL correspond with the effectiveness of NVP-BEZ235 treatment in other AKT/mTOR-driven cancer types, as well as with previous data demonstrating suppression of eIF4G activity and 4E-BP1 phosphorylation in AML [69, 71]. The gene discussed is EIF4G1; the disease is B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
