The present study demonstrated that the combination of rMETase, cisplatinum, and ivermectin exerts selective synergy on lung-cancer cells, which was not observed on normal fibroblasts. Moreover, the present combination therapy has a strong synergistic efficacy at early time points on the lung-cancer cells. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of synergy of the present combination treatment selectively on cancer cells and to evaluate the in vivo efficacy and safety of the present treatment strategy.
