<jats:title>Background</jats:title>
<jats:p>Patients with metastatic hepatoblastoma are treated with severely toxic first-line chemotherapies in combination with surgery. Yet, inadequate response of lung metastases to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy still compromises patient outcomes making new treatment strategies, tailored to more efficient lung clearance, mandatory.</jats:p>
</jats:sec><jats:sec>
<jats:title>Methods</jats:title>
<jats:p>We harnessed a comprehensive patient-derived xenograft platform and a variety of in vitro and in vivo assays to establish the preclinical and biological rationale for a new drug for patients with metastatic hepatoblastoma.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Results</jats:title>
<jats:p>The testing of a library of established drugs on patient-derived xenografts identified histone deacetylase inhibitors, most notably panobinostat, to be highly efficacious on hepatoblastoma cells, as compared to non-cancerous cells. Molecularly, the anti-tumor effect of panobinostat is mediated by posttranslational obstruction of the MYC oncoprotein as a result of dual specificity phosphatase 1 upregulation, thereby leading to growth inhibition and programmed cell death. Of clinical importance, upregulation of the MYC target gene nucleophosmin 1 is indicative of response to panobinostat and associated with metastatic disease in patients with hepatoblastoma. The combination of panobinostat with the current SIOPEL 4 induction protocol, consisting of cisplatin and doxorubicin, revealed high synergies already at low nanomolar levels. The simulation of a clinical trial, with this combination therapy, in patient-derived xenograft models, and ultimately heterotypic lung metastasis mimics clearly underscored the potency of this approach.</jats:p>
</jats:sec><jats:sec>
<jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title>
<jats:p>Integrated studies define MYC inhibition by panobinostat as a novel treatment element to be introduced into the therapeutic strategy for patients with metastatic hepatoblastoma.</jats:p>
