The multiple combination of Paclitaxel, Ramucirumab and Elacridar reverses the paclitaxel-mediated resistance in gastric cancer cell lines.

These findings were in line with a greater sensitivity of resistant cells to treatment with both Ramucirumab and Elacridar. Ramucirumab significantly reduced the expression of angiogenic molecules and TUBβIII, while Elacridar restored the access of chemotherapy, recovering its anti-mitotic and pro-apoptotic effects. Finally, this study highlighted the role played by exosomes in spreading factors responsible for resistance in the tumor microenvironment.
