Adding lurbinectedin to targeted therapies can potentially enhance their efficacy and provide several benefits in the treatment of various cancers. Lurbinectedin is a selective inhibitor of oncogenic transcription, which can lead to the death of cancer cells and a reduction in tumor size [1].

One of the key benefits of adding lurbinectedin to targeted therapies is its ability to overcome drug resistance. Many cancers develop resistance to initially effective treatments, leading to disease progression. Lurbinectedin has been shown to reverse this resistance and restore sensitivity to therapy in certain cancer types [1].

Additionally, lurbinectedin can enhance the efficacy of existing targeted therapies by targeting different pathways and mechanisms within cancer cells. This can lead to a more comprehensive attack on the cancer, potentially resulting in improved treatment outcomes [1].

Furthermore, lurbinectedin has been shown to have a favorable safety profile, with manageable side effects, making it a suitable addition to existing treatment regimens [1].

It is important to note that while lurbinectedin has the potential to enhance targeted therapies, its use should be based on a thorough understanding of the patient's cancer type, stage, and other individual factors. Clinical trials and ongoing research will continue to provide more information on the benefits and optimal use of lurbinectedin in targeted therapies [1].
