An investigation of archival materials initiated by the corresponding author of this paper revealed several errors that undermine the central conclusions with regards to the sensitivity of ovarian cancer tumours to the co-therapy of birinapant and carboplatin in vivo. STR profiling evaluation of archival material pertaining to several key experiments revealed that Ovcar-3 cells were used in xenografts rather than as stated, S1-GODL cells in Figs. 6b, c, 7 and Supplementary Fig. 8, patient sample II cells in Fig. 8, and MCF7 cells in Supplementary Fig. 9. Given these issues, we wish to retract the Article in its entirety. We deeply regret this circumstance and apologize to the community.
