A Pilot/Phase 1b Study of Glasdegib-Based Treatment Combinations in Adult Patients With Relapsed AML Post Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

This phase Ib trial evaluates the best dose and effect of glasdegib in combination with venetoclax and decitabine, or gilteritinib, bosutinib, ivosidenib, or enasidenib in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) after stem cell transplantation. Chemotherapy drugs, such as venetoclax and decitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Glasdegib, bosutinib, ivosidenib, and enasidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Glasdegib inhibits the Sonic the Hedgehog gene. Venetoclax inhibits BCL-2 gene. Bosutinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits BCR-ABL gene fusion. Ivosidenib inhibits isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 gene or IDH-1. Enasidenib inhibits isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 gene or IDH-2. This study involves an individualized approach that may allow doctors and researchers to more accurately predict which treatment plan works best for patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.

Vertex-Edge-Weighted Molecular Graphs: A Study on Topological Indices and Their Relevance to Physicochemical Properties of Drugs Used in Cancer Treatment

Article

Author: Birgin, Kahraman ; Sorgun, Sezer

Quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) analysis plays a crucial role in predicting physicochemical properties and biological activities of pharmaceutical compounds, aiding in drug design and optimization. This study focuses on leveraging QSPR within the framework of vertex and edge-weighted (VEW) molecular graphs, exploring their significance in drug research. By examining 48 drugs used in the treatment of various cancers and their physicochemical properties, previous studies serve as a foundation for our research. Introducing a novel methodology for computing vertex and edge weights, we highlight the importance of considering atomic properties and interbond dynamics. Statistical analysis, employing linear regression models, reveals enhanced correlations between topological indices and the physicochemical properties of drugs. Comparison with previous studies on unweighted molecular graphs highlights the enhancements achieved with our approach.

Statistical Evaluation of Cancer Drugs by QSPR Modeling

Author: Zaman, Shahid

The prospect of discovering a cure for cancer has been present for the past two to three decades. Annually, this illness affects approximately 10 million individuals worldwide. Anticancer medications are pivotal in treating cancer and other malignant diseases. In this paper, the physical properties and chemical reactions associated with the anticancer medications of various topological indices (TIs) have been established. Additionally, we have discussed the degree-based TIs and their Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) analysis. In mathematical chemistry, molecular descriptors are essential, particularly for researchers investigating Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) and QSPR models. The goal of the QSPR study is to establish a mathematical relationship between the properties under investigation (such as boiling point and flash point) and various descriptors related to the molecular structure of the drugs. Furthermore, we show the correlation with the physicochemical properties of anticancer medications.

AbstractThe first 5 decades of research in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) were dominated by the cytarabine plus anthracyclines backbone, with advances in strategies including allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, high‐dose cytarabine, supportive care measures, and targeted therapies for the subset of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia. Since 2017, a turning point in AML research, 12 agents have received regulatory approval for AML in the United States: venetoclax (BCL2 inhibitor); gemtuzumab ozogamicin (CD33 antibody–drug conjugate); midostaurin, gilteritinib, and quizartinib (fms‐like tyrosine kinase 3 inhibitors); ivosidenib, olutasidenib, and enasidenib (isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 inhibitors); oral azacitidine (a partially absorbable formulation); CPX351 (liposomal encapsulation of cytarabine:daunorubicin at a molar ratio of 5:1); glasdegib (hedgehog inhibitor); and recently revumenib (menin inhibitor; approved November 2024). Oral decitabine‐cedazuridine, which is approved as a bioequivalent alternative to parenteral hypomethylating agents in myelodysplastic syndrome, can be used for the same purpose in AML. Menin inhibitors, CD123 antibody–drug conjugates, and other antibodies targeting CD123, CD33, and other surface markers are showing promising results. Herein, the authors review the frontline and later line therapies in AML and discuss important research directions.

GPCR Family Anticancer Targets and Marketed Therapeutic Drugs (Part 3)

This article will continue to review the antitumor targets of the GPCR family and the therapeutic drugs that have been marketed. 05 SMOThe Smoothened (SMO) receptor is a key signal transduction receptor in the Hedgehog signaling pathway and belongs to the GPCR family, featuring the classical seven-transmembrane domain structure. The SMO receptor plays a vital role in the activation of the Hedgehog signaling pathway. The discovery of the Hedgehog signaling pathway dates back to 1980 when Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard and Eric Wieschaus, during their research on the embryonic development of fruit flies, identified gene mutations affecting the segmental development of the Drosophila larvae through genetic screening. These genes were later named Hedgehog genes because their mutant flies' embryos had a spiky appearance reminiscent of hedgehogs. The Hedgehog signaling pathway is highly conserved evolutionarily, playing significant roles not only in fruit flies but also in vertebrates, including in processes such as cell differentiation, cell proliferation, cellular senescence, tumorigenesis, malignant transformation, and tumor resistance. With further research, scientists have identified that the Hedgehog pathway involves a series of proteins, particularly core components that include two membrane proteins, Patched and Smoothened (SMO), along with three transcription factors (Gli1/2/3). The activity of the Hedgehog signaling pathway is regulated by multiple mechanisms, and abnormal pathway activity is associated with various diseases, including birth defects and tumors. In the absence of a Hedgehog ligand, the SMO receptor is inhibited by the Patched (PTCH) receptor, which acts as a tumor suppressor protein that restricts SMO activity and prevents signal transduction. When Hedgehog ligands such as Sonic Hedgehog (Shh), Indian Hedgehog (Ihh), or Desert Hedgehog (Dhh) bind to the PTCH receptor, this inhibition is released, leading to the accumulation and activation of SMO within the cell. Activation of SMO further triggers downstream signaling pathways, particularly the activation of the GLI (Glioma-associated oncogene) family of transcription factors. These transcription factors exist in a repressive form when the signaling pathway is inactive, and upon SMO activation, they are dephosphorylated and converted into an active form, which then enters the nucleus to activate the expression of Hedgesten target genes. Vismodegib (brand name Erivedge™), an oral SMO receptor antagonist, was developed by Genentech and approved by the FDA in January 2012 in the United States. It is primarily used for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic basal cell carcinoma, especially in patients who are not suitable for surgery or radiation therapy. In 2009, Genentech first disclosed the early drug discovery data of the SMO receptor antagonist candidate drug GDC-0449. Researchers used mouse embryonic fibroblasts harboring a luciferase reporter gene plasmid and performed high-throughput screening downstream of Gli binding sites. When the Hedgehog signaling pathway in these cells was stimulated, the activity of luciferase could be measured optically. Hedgehog pathway antagonists reduce the strength of this signal, leading researchers to obtain lead compounds. Subsequent SAR (Structure-Activity Relationship) studies yielded the candidate drug GDC-0449. At a low dose of 12.5 mg/kg, GDC-0449 was able to completely regress tumors in an orthotopic xenograft mouse model of medulloblastoma that entirely depended on the Hedgehog signaling pathway. Between 2009 and 2012, the Genentech team published two clinical research papers consecutively in the New England Journal of Medicine, reporting the efficacy and safety of Vismodegib in treating advanced basal cell carcinoma. The results showed that among 33 patients with metastatic basal cell carcinoma, the independently assessed response rate was 30%. Among 63 patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma, the independently assessed response rate was 43%, with 13 patients (21%) achieving a complete response. The median duration of response for both groups was 7.6 months. In terms of safety, over 30% of patients experienced adverse reactions such as muscle spasms, hair loss, taste disturbances, weight loss, and fatigue. It was reported that 25% of patients experienced severe adverse reactions; 7 patients died due to adverse reactions. Sonidegib (NVP-LDE225), developed by the Novartis team, is a SMO receptor antagonist also used for the treatment of locally advanced, recurrent basal cell carcinoma post-surgery and radiation, or in cases unsuitable for surgery and radiation. Sonidegib works by inhibiting a mechanism known as SMO activation, thereby blocking the Hh signaling pathway and exhibiting antitumor activity across various animal models. In a transgenic mouse pancreatic tumor model, tumors in mice treated with Sonidegib were reduced by 95% compared to untreated mice. In 2014 and 2015, the Novartis team published clinical research papers detailing trial data for Sonidegib used in patients with advanced or metastatic basal cell carcinoma. In the primary efficacy analysis cohort, 20 out of 55 patients (36%) receiving 200 mg of Sonidegib achieved an objective response, and 39 out of 116 patients (34%) receiving 800 mg of Sonidegib achieved an objective response. Among the 200 mg Sonidegib group, 18 of 42 patients (43%) with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma achieved an objective response via central review, and 2 out of 13 patients (15%) with metastatic disease also achieved an objective response. In the 800 mg Sonidegib group, 35 out of 93 locally advanced patients (38%) obtained an objective response through central review, and 4 out of 23 metastatic disease patients (17%) also achieved an objective response. Compared to the 800 mg group, the 200 mg group experienced fewer adverse events leading to dose reduction or treatment discontinuation. The most common grade 3-4 adverse events were elevated creatine kinase and increased lipase levels. In the 200 mg group of 79 patients, 11 (14%) experienced severe adverse events; in the 800 mg group of 150 patients, 45 (30%) experienced severe adverse events. Overall, the benefit-risk ratio of 200 mg Sonidegib provides a new treatment option for patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma. In June 2015, the U.S. FDA approved Sonidegib for the treatment of adult basal cell carcinoma. In 2021, Sonidegib was approved for market in Mainland China, becoming the first SMO receptor antagonist approved in China. Following the market entries of Genentech's Vismodegib and Novartis's Sonidegib Phosphate, Pfizer's SMO antagonist drug, Glasdegib Maleate, was approved in 2018 for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia. The representative molecular formula for SMO antagonists is as follows: 06 TSHRThe Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Receptor (TSHR) is a gene that encodes a GPCR controlling the metabolism of thyroid cells. This protein acts as a receptor for thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxine. In addition to the thyroid, TSHR expression has also been confirmed in various tissues including the brain, bone marrow, peripheral blood, and bones. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. TSH is primarily synthesized in the thyrotroph cells of the anterior and nodular portions of the pituitary gland. Additionally, hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow, particularly monocyte/macrophage precursors, have also been shown to be a source of TSH. TSH binds to TSHR in the thyroid, stimulating the production and release of thyroid hormones. TSH is a non-covalently linked heterodimeric glycoprotein composed of alpha and beta subunits. The alpha subunit is common with other glycoprotein hormones, such as luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, while the beta subunit is unique to each hormone. TSH signaling can stimulate the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), leading to angiogenesis and accelerating genomic instability in thyroid cancer. The tumorigenic role of TSH in thyroid cancer has been established. Many patients with differentiated thyroid cancer undergo radioactive iodine ablation postoperatively to remove residual normal thyroid tissue. Several non-randomized studies suggest that radioactive iodine ablation can reduce mortality and recurrence rates. Thyrotropin alfa is a recombinant form of thyroid-stimulating hormone, developed by Genzyme, and was initially approved by the U.S. FDA in 1998 as a diagnostic tool for managing patients undergoing recurrence monitoring of well-differentiated thyroid cancer. This product helps to enhance the sensitivity of tests while allowing patients to avoid potential debilitating symptoms associated with thyroid hormone withdrawal. In 2008, the FDA approved a new supplementary indication for Thyrotropin Alfa for use in conjunction with radioactive iodine to ablate or destroy residual thyroid tissue in patients who have undergone thyroidectomy for cancer. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2012 demonstrated that low-dose radioactive iodine combined with thyrotropin alfa is as effective as high-dose radioactive iodine, with a lower incidence of adverse events. In the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer, the use of Thyrotropin alfa enhances the uptake of radioactive iodine by these cells, thereby improving the effectiveness of radioactive iodine treatment or enhancing the clarity of imaging during radioactive iodine scans, helping physicians to more accurately assess the status of the disease. Outside of thyroid cancer, the incidence of prostate cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer has been linked to low levels of TSH. For example, various mutations such as missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions, and in-frame deletions have been observed in cancers like colorectal cancer, skin cancer, and thyroid cancer.

Global Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Disease Analysis Report 2021: On Average, it Takes 10.8 Years from Phase I to Approval, Compared to 9.6 Years in the Overall Oncology Space

Dublin, April 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Disease Analysis: Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. AML is a type of heterogeneous hematological malignancy that originates from immature white blood cells (blasts) in the bone marrow, which may be derived from either a hematopoietic stem cell or a lineage-specific progenitor cell. "Acute" means that the leukemia may progress rapidly - AML generally spreads quickly to the bloodstream and can then spread to other parts of the body including the lymph nodes, spleen, central nervous system, and testicles.Latest Key TakeawaysThe publisher estimates that in 2018, there were 158,400 incident cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) worldwide and expects that number to increase to 169,000 incident cases by 2027. Approximately 60% of newly diagnosed patients are eligible for intensive chemotherapy, such as the 7+3 regimen of cytarabine and daunorubicin.Since 2017, there have been nine new drugs approved for AML in the US, dramatically changing the treatment landscape. Gone is the era where all front-line patients received either 7+3 chemotherapy or a hypomethylating agent (decitabine or azacitidine). Many of the new therapies target specific segments of AML or patients with specific mutations. As such, there is currently little competition between the new therapies, but that will change as therapies receive label expansions and new competitor therapies are approved.Two FLT3 inhibitors have been approved for FLT3-mutated AML: Rydapt for front-line patients eligible for intensive chemotherapy, and Xospata for relapsed/refractory patients. Rydapt may soon face competition in the front-line FLT3 setting as quizartinib, crenolanib, and Xospata are being evaluated in combination with standard chemotherapy and as single-agent maintenance therapies following either chemotherapy consolidation or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Approval in the lucrative maintenance setting would give these drugs a favorable long-term commercial outlook. Approximately 25-30% of AML patients have an FLT3 mutation.Tibsovo and Idhifa are approved in the US as oral, single-agent therapies for relapsed/refractory AML patients with IDH1 and IDH2 mutations, respectively. Tibsovo is also approved as a monotherapy for front-line patients over the age of 75 years. Both of these IDH inhibitors are now in Phase III trials in combination with standard induction (7+3) and consolidation chemotherapy and as maintenance therapy in front-line AML. Tibsovo is also being investigated in combination with azacitidine in a Phase III trial in front-line patients. Approval of Tibsovo and Idhifa in the EU will depend on these Phase III results. Tibsovo may face competition from FT-2102, an IDH1 inhibitor being evaluated in the relapsed/refractory setting in a pivotal single-arm Phase II trial. IDH1 mutations are present in 6-9% of AML, while IDH2 mutations are present in approximately 12% of cases.Mylotarg, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting CD33, is the only monoclonal antibody therapy approved for AML. Mylotarg combined with intensive chemotherapy is recommended for newly diagnosed patients with favorable cytogenetic risk (approximately 10% of patients eligible for intensive chemotherapy). Over 90% of AML patients are positive for CD33 expression.Vyxeos, a liposomal formulation of the 7+3 chemotherapy regimen, was approved in the US and EU for the treatment of newly diagnosed patients with secondary AML after showing an improvement in overall survival compared to the 7+3 regimen in patients ?60 years of age. Secondary AML accounts for approximately one third of new AML diagnoses, but most of these patients will be too frail for Vyxeos. Approximately 16% of patients eligible for intensive chemotherapy have secondary AML. Market access for Vyxeos is strengthened by positive recommendations from the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and from NICE in England and Wales.Venclexta combined with azacitidine is the new standard of care for newly diagnosed AML patients not suited for intensive chemotherapy (approximately 40% of newly diagnosed patients). A confirmatory Phase III trial evaluating Venclexta + azacitidine demonstrated a survival advantage (15 months versus 10 months) and supported regulatory submissions to European and Japanese authorities, with approvals expected in 2021. Venclexta is currently being evaluated in combination with novel agents in several trials, and a Phase III study (VIALE-M) is evaluating Venclexta combined with azacitidine as maintenance therapy for AML patients in first remission after conventional chemotherapy.Daurismo is the first and only Hedgehog pathway inhibitor approved for AML. Daurismo is approved in combination with low-dose cytarabine (LDAC) for newly diagnosed AML patients not suited for intensive chemotherapy, and will compete with Venclexta in this difficult-to-treat setting. However, in the US, hypomethylating agents are preferred over LDAC, so Venclexta may be preferred over Daurismo.Onureg, an oral formulation of azacitidine, increased overall survival and relapse-free survival in a Phase III trial and was approved in the US as a maintenance therapy following intensive chemotherapy for patients not suited for an HSCT. A European approval decision is expected in mid-2021. The maintenance setting would be a new setting for Vidaza (azacitidine) which is currently used in the EU (and off-label in the US) to treat newly diagnosed elderly AML patients.Rafael Pharmaceuticals is developing devimistat (CPI-613) as a first-in-class therapeutic targeting the altered mitochondrial metabolism present in many cancers, including AML. Devimistat's outlook will depend on the efficacy and safety results from a Phase III trial evaluating the drug in combination with high-dose cytarabine and mitoxantrone in relapsed/refractory AML patients. The first interim analysis is expected in Q2 2021.Chimerix's dociparstat sodium (DSTAT), a glycosaminoglycan analog of heparin designed to have reduced anticoagulant effects, targets the CXCR4 pathway which is involved in the homing and adhesion of AML cells to the bone marrow and is associated with resistance to systemic drugs. DSTAT is being developed in combination with intensive 7+3 chemotherapy for newly diagnosed AML, with the aim of improving the rate of durable response. A Phase III trial is enrolling patients with intermediate or unfavorable cytogenetic risk (74% of patients eligible for intensive chemotherapy).Otsuka's Inqovi is an oral formulation of decitabine that is being developed for patients with AML unsuited for intensive induction chemotherapy. In ASCERTAIN, a Phase III trial enrolling patients with MDS, Inqovi met the trial's primary endpoint of demonstrating pharmacokinetic equivalence to intravenous decitabine. ASCERTAIN has now been extended to include patients with AML in the EU, but a trial with efficacy endpoints will be needed to secure a US AML approval.Takeda's pevonedistat targets the NEDD8-activating enzyme in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and is being developed in combination with azacitidine for a subpopulation of newly diagnosed, elderly AML patients categorized as low-blast count AML. Pevonedistat is also being evaluated in a randomized Phase II trial in combination with Venclexta and azacitidine in newly diagnosed AML patients unfit for intensive chemotherapy.Zeltherva is a therapeutic vaccine being developed as maintenance therapy for patients who have achieved hematologic complete remission, with or without thrombocytopenia, after second-line therapy and who are ineligible for allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Zeltherva's outlook in the specialized setting of CR2 will depend on results in REGAL, its Phase III trial. An interim analysis for safety and futility is expected in Q4 2021.Not including FLT3 and IDH inhibitors, there are five drugs in late-phase development for newly diagnosed AML patients. Dociparstat sodium and entospletinib are being developed in combination with intensive chemotherapy, while MBG453, pevonedistat, and Inqovi are being developed for elderly patients.Relapsed/refractory AML remains an area of unmet need, and new therapies are being developed. Not including FLT3 or IDH inhibitors, there are currently five late-stage therapies being evaluated for this setting (devimistat, DFP-10917, flotetuzumab, Iomab-B, and uproleselan).Key recent events include the approval of Onureg and presentation of numerical data from Venclexta's VIALE-A trial. There were Phase III failures for Helsinn's pracinostat combined with azacitidine in the newly diagnosed setting and for Roche's idasanutlin and Otsuka's guadecitabine in the relapsed/refractory setting. Other Phase III failures include trials evaluting Xospata combined with azacitidine and Daurismo combined with intensive chemotherapy in front-line AML, and an Idhifa monotherapy trial in the third- and fourth-line setting.Key upcoming catalysts for 2021 include topline results from Phase III trials for devimistat, Iomab-B, uproleselan, and Zeltherva, and a possible NDA submission for FT-2102.The overall likelihood of approval of a Phase I AML asset is 6.3%, and the average probability a drug advances from Phase III is 50%. AML drugs, on average, take 10.8 years from Phase I to approval, compared to 9.6 years in the overall oncology space. Companies Mentioned For more information about this report visit
