Overview

AB928 + doxorubicin is a combination therapy under investigation for cancer treatment. AB928 (etrumadenant) is a selective, small-molecule dual antagonist of the adenosine A2a and A2b receptors. It blocks the immunosuppressive effects of high adenosine concentrations in the tumor microenvironment, thereby enhancing anti-tumor immune responses. Doxorubicin is an anthracycline chemotherapy agent that intercalates DNA and inhibits topoisomerase II, leading to cytotoxicity in rapidly dividing cells. The combination aims to leverage both direct cytotoxic effects from chemotherapy and immune modulation from adenosine receptor blockade. This regimen has been studied particularly with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in solid tumors such as triple-negative breast cancer and ovarian cancer[1][2][3][4].
