Effective combination therapies to improve the efficacy of BET inhibitors are currently under investigation. Here, the authors examine palbociclib and paclitaxel as two promising candidates for combination therapies with BET inhibition in breast cancer and investigate the dynamics of resistance to these combinations through DNA barcoding and mathematical modelling.
