Looks like CDK inhibitors are still in early trials? I like the idea of synergy with Tamoxifen and Herceptin. Considering Tamoxifen can affect both Er+ and ER-, could be a great lower toxicity approach. Amen.

The one they reference in the editorial is PD 0332991. Pfizer is currently testing it with letrozole, but only in ER+ Her2- patients: http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00721409

Here is a link to the definiton of the drug: http://www.cancer.gov/drugdictionary/?CdrID=454586

No apology necessary. Just trying to get to the immediate utility of the information. Good stuff in the pipeline or with limited accessibility is still good stuff. Ya know..just always want it yesterday;)
