Re: Clinical Trial of CPI-613 in Patients with Advanced Bile Duct Cancer
Very interesting. Thanks for posting!
A quote from the trial page:
CPI-613 is a novel anti-cancer agent (Zachar et al. 2011). CPI-613 selectively targets the altered form of mitochondrial energy metabolism in tumor cells, causing changes in mitochondrial enzyme activities and redox status which leads to apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy of tumor cells (Zachar et al. 2011). The activities of CPI-613 involve the catalytic and regulatory functions of the altered form of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC)
To me this sounds similar to how DCA is supposed to work. The general idea seems to be the same. I'm not an expect, so I can be wrong.
We discussed DCA here:
