Formulation of a triple combination gemcitabine plus romidepsin + cisplatin regimen to efficaciously and safely control triple-negative breast cancer tumor development.

Considering the high costs for developing a new anticancer agent, we used the FDA-approved drugs gemcitabine, romidepsin (is approved for T-cell lymphoma and is under clinical trial for TNBC), and cisplatin to economically formulate an efficacious and safe combination regimen. The highly efficacious gemcitabine plus romidepsin + cisplatin regimen should be poised for efficient translation into clinical trials, ultimately contributing to reduced mortality and improved quality of life for TNBC patients.
