Cell Context Is the Third Axis of Synergy for the Combination of ATR Inhibition and Cisplatin in Ewing Sarcoma

The importance of cellular context to the synergy of DNA damage response (DDR)-targeted agents is important for tumors with mutations in DDR pathways, but less well-established for tumors driven by oncogenic transcription factors. In this study, we exploit the widespread transcriptional dysregulation of the EWS-FLI1 transcription factor to identify an effective DDR-targeted combination therapy for Ewing sarcoma.
