This dose is similar to those administered to humans in clinical settings, such as the use of rapamycin for the treatment of glioblastoma (up to 10 mg daily for multiple days), the use of temsirolimus for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (25 mg once weekly), or the use of everolimus for the treatment of tuberous sclerosis (TS), a genetic disorder resulting in hyperactivation of mTOR (10 mg daily, continuously) (23, 59–61). Here, MTOR is linked to renal cell carcinoma.
