The phase IB/II TAKTIC trial (NCT01980277) has shown that combining a dual AKT and p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K) inhibitor (LY2780301) taken orally with weekly paclitaxel in HER2‐negative advanced breast cancer is feasible, with preliminary evidence of efficacy. Here, RPS6KB1 is linked to breast carcinoma.
