Evidence Matrix · April 2026
A systematic audit of every OB001 combination proposed across the GSK, AbbVie, BMS, and Lilly partnership pitches, distinguishing those with published elacridar co-dosing data from those proposed on the basis of confirmed P-gp/BCRP substrate status alone. All published data referenced below originate from peer-reviewed studies, predominantly from the Schinkel group at the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI Amsterdam), the definitive laboratory for ABC transporter pharmacology.
Full Evidence Audit
| Drug | Partner | Drug Class | Proposed Indication / Benefit | Elacridar Co-dosing Evidence | Key Reference(s) | Evidence Basis / Caveat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zejula Niraparib · PARP1/2 | GSK | PARP Inhibitor | Brain mets from ovarian / endometrial cancer; GBM; leptomeningeal disease |
✓ Published
Elacridar pretreatment → WT mice brain levels = ABCB1/ABCG2 KO levels
|
Martins et al., Mol. Pharmaceutics, 2021 Scientific Reports, 2025 (multimodal imaging) | Dedicated Schinkel group study. Elacridar pretreatment in wild-type mice increases niraparib brain concentration and reduces small intestinal recovery to levels seen in P-gp/BCRP double-KO mice. Kp,brain rises from 0.20 (WT) to 1.46 (double-KO). Strongest basis of any GSK asset. |
| Blenrep Belantamab mafodotin · BCMA-ADC | GSK | Antibody-Drug Conjugate | Relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma; dose-reduction via MDR reversal in MM cells |
✗ No data
No published elacridar + belantamab or MMAF study identified
|
No specific reference | Proposed on the basis that MMAF (the cytotoxic payload) is a P-gp substrate in haematopoietic cells — a general property of auristatin/maytansinoid payloads referenced in ADC resistance literature. No elacridar co-dosing data exists for this specific ADC or payload. Preclinical validation in MM cell lines required before partner approach. |
| Ojjaara / Omjjara Momelotinib · JAK1/2/ACVR1 | GSK | JAK Inhibitor | Myelofibrosis dose optimisation; AML transformation MDR reversal |
✗ No data
No published elacridar + momelotinib study identified
|
No specific reference | Speculative. Proposed on the basis of class-level interactions between JAK inhibitors and ABC transporters. No elacridar + momelotinib co-dosing data exists in any form. Weakest evidence basis of all GSK combinations. Significant preclinical work required before this would be pitchable. |
| Imbruvica Ibrutinib · Covalent BTK | AbbVie | BTK Inhibitor | Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL); secondary CNS lymphoma; CNS-relapsed MCL |
✓ Published
Elacridar co-dosing in WT mice replicates ABCB1 KO phenotype
|
Van Hoppe et al., Mol. Pharmaceutics, 2018 | Dedicated Schinkel group study. P-gp deficiency increases ibrutinib brain-to-plasma ratios by 4.5–5.9-fold in Abcb1a/1b KO mice. Elacridar co-administration in wild-type mice replicates this enhancement fully. ibrutinib-DiOH metabolite (10-fold reduced BTK activity) also restricted by P-gp. Strong mechanistic and clinical rationale for PCNSL. |
| Venclexta Venetoclax · BCL-2 | AbbVie | BCL-2 Inhibitor | CNS-relapsed CLL/AML; BCL-2+ primary CNS lymphoma; paediatric ALL CNS sanctuary |
✗ No data
Confirmed substrate status but no elacridar co-dosing study identified
|
Badawi et al., J Cancer, 2023 (CSF PK — clinical) Salem et al., J Clin Pharmacol, 2017 (substrate status) | Venetoclax is a confirmed dual P-gp and BCRP substrate at the BBB (documented in its own PK literature and clinical CSF data). Clinical CSF sampling in paediatric patients confirms limited but detectable CNS penetration. No published elacridar + venetoclax co-dosing experiment exists in any model. Joint preclinical programme with AbbVie proposed as part of partnership term sheet. |
| Elahere Mirvetuximab soravtansine · FRα-ADC | AbbVie | Antibody-Drug Conjugate | FRα+ platinum-resistant OC with acquired P-gp-mediated DM4 resistance |
✗ No data
No published elacridar + mirvetuximab or DM4 study identified
|
No specific reference | Proposed on the basis that maytansinoid payloads (DM4/DM1) are known P-gp substrates in cancer cell resistance literature. P-gp overexpression is a recognised mechanism of acquired resistance to maytansinoid ADCs. No elacridar co-dosing study for this specific ADC or payload. Mechanistic hypothesis requiring preclinical validation in FRα+ P-gp-overexpressing ovarian cancer lines. |
| Krazati Adagrasib · KRAS G12C | BMS | KRAS G12C Inhibitor | KRAS G12C+ NSCLC brain metastases; KRAS G12C+ CRC; GBM (KRAS-mutant) |
✓ Published
41-fold brain penetration increase; no acute CNS toxicity
|
Sparidans et al., Biomed. Pharmacother., 2023 | Dedicated Schinkel group study. ABCB1/ABCG2 inhibitor elacridar increases adagrasib brain penetration in wild-type mice by 41-fold — the largest elacridar-mediated BBB enhancement published for any approved oncology drug — without acute CNS toxicity. Additionally, OncoBayes has generated proprietary preclinical data with OB001 specifically demonstrating 3,300% CNS concentration increase and 0% plasma increase with adagrasib. Strongest overall evidence package across all four partners. |
| Sprycel Dasatinib · BCR-ABL/SRC TKI | BMS | Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor | CNS-involved CML; Ph+ ALL CNS sanctuary; dasatinib-sensitive CNS tumours |
✓ Published
13.2× oral / 22.7× i.p. — WT matches double-KO with elacridar
|
Lagas et al., Clin Cancer Res, 2009 | One of the foundational papers in the elacridar field. Elacridar co-administration in wild-type mice produces dasatinib brain accumulation equivalent to P-gp/BCRP double-knockout mice: 13.2-fold increase (oral dosing), 22.7-fold (i.p.). P-gp is the primary restrictor; ABCG2 provides backup when P-gp is absent. Note: Sprycel faces generic competition — CNS orphan positioning is the commercial rationale. |
| Augtyro Repotrectinib · ROS1/NTRK TKI | BMS | Next-Gen TKI | ROS1+ NSCLC brain mets; NTRK+ paediatric CNS tumours; TKI-resistant CNS disease |
✗ No data
No published elacridar + repotrectinib study identified
|
No specific reference | Proposed on the basis of TKI class P-gp substrate evidence. Repotrectinib's physicochemical properties (MW ~393, moderate lipophilicity) are broadly consistent with P-gp substrate characteristics. FDA label documents known CNS activity suggesting partial BBB penetration. No published elacridar co-dosing study for repotrectinib specifically. Class inference only. |
| Verzenio Abemaciclib · CDK4/6 | Lilly | CDK4/6 Inhibitor | HR+/HER2− breast cancer brain metastases; GBM; leptomeningeal disease |
✓ Published
Abemaciclib + all 3 active metabolites; elacridar reverses KO phenotype
|
Martínez-Chávez et al., Mol. Pharmaceutics, 2022 | Dedicated Schinkel group study. ABCB1 and ABCG2 limit brain penetration of abemaciclib and all three pharmacologically active metabolites (M2, M20, M18 — themselves transported even more avidly than parent compound). Elacridar pretreatment in wild-type mice replicates ABCB1/ABCG2 double-KO brain exposure. 6-fold+ brain penetration increase. Unique in that both parent and metabolites are affected. |
| Retevmo Selpercatinib · RET kinase | Lilly | RET Kinase Inhibitor | RET+ NSCLC brain mets; RET+ thyroid cancer CNS disease; GBM |
✓ Published
6.2-fold increase; elacridar fully restores KO-equivalent BBB penetration
|
Wang et al., Pharmaceuticals, 2021 | Dedicated Schinkel group study. ABCB1/ABCG2 jointly limit selpercatinib brain and testis penetration by 6.2-fold and 6.4-fold respectively. Elacridar co-administration in wild-type mice fully restores brain exposure to double-KO levels — without causing acute toxicity. One of the cleaner published datasets: elacridar effect = complete transporter reversal. Robust foundation for a partner pitch. |
| Jaypirca Pirtobrutinib · Non-covalent BTK | Lilly | Non-covalent BTK Inhibitor | CNS lymphoma; secondary CNS involvement in CLL/MCL; BTKi-resistant CNS disease |
✗ No data
No published elacridar + pirtobrutinib study identified
|
No specific reference | Proposed on the basis of BTK inhibitor class P-gp substrate data. Ibrutinib (covalent BTKi — see AbbVie) has a dedicated elacridar study; pirtobrutinib (non-covalent, structurally distinct) has not. Class inference is reasonable given shared target tissue and pharmacological class, but pirtobrutinib-specific co-dosing data would be required before a credible partner approach. |
| Inluriyo Imlunestrant · Oral SERD | Lilly | ESR1-selective SERD | ESR1-mutant ER+ breast cancer brain mets; post-CDK4/6 CNS progression |
✗ No data
No published elacridar + imlunestrant or class-specific study identified
|
No specific reference | Purely class-level hypothesis. Oral SERDs have generally shown P-gp/BCRP interactions in the broader endocrine resistance literature, but no published data exists specifically for imlunestrant or for elacridar + any oral SERD. Weakest evidence basis of all Lilly combinations. Substrate confirmation studies required before any partner discussion. |
Notes on Evidence Standards & Interpretation
Six combinations have dedicated peer-reviewed preclinical studies demonstrating that elacridar (or genetically equivalent ABC transporter knockouts) significantly increases the drug's brain concentration. All six published datasets originate from or are corroborated by the Schinkel group at the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI Amsterdam) — the leading laboratory globally for ABC transporter pharmacology. These combinations represent the strongest scientific foundation for partner pitches.
One combination — OB001 + adagrasib (Krazati, BMS) — is additionally supported by OncoBayes's own proprietary preclinical data demonstrating a 3,300% increase in CNS drug concentration and 0% increase in plasma concentration with the clinical OB001 formulation specifically. This is the only combination for which OncoBayes can present partner-ready IND-enabling data without relying solely on third-party publications.
Six combinations are proposed on the basis of confirmed (or inferred) P-gp/BCRP substrate status without any published elacridar co-dosing experiment. These remain scientifically rational hypotheses, but a confirmed substrate is a necessary — not sufficient — condition for predicting a meaningful elacridar effect. For these combinations, OncoBayes should either generate its own preclinical co-dosing data prior to a partner approach, or propose a joint preclinical programme as part of the partnership term sheet.
