Pasireotide as Maintenance Treatment With Monthly Deep Intramuscular Injection in SSTR2/3/5-Expressing Synovial Sarcoma and Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor

PAMSARC is a non-commercial interventional Phase 2 clinical trial of academic research institutions, with its primary goal being to improve medical treatment of fusion driven Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) and Synovial sarcoma (SySa) in young adults and adolsecents with male predominance.
Current management of DSRCT and SySa includes chemotherapy, radiation and aggressive cytoreductive surgery. Despite advances in multimodal therapy, outcomes remain poor with frequent disease recurrence and very limited options for patients with advanced disease.
Selected somatostatin receptor (SSTR) family members, i.e., SSTR2, SSTR3 and SSTR5, are frequently overexpressed in DSRCT and SySa, providing the rationale for treatment with somatostatin analogues (SSA).
Pasireotide is a SSA with high affinity for SSTR1, -2, -3, and -5 and is approved for the treatment of Cushing's disease and acromegaly and has also shown activity in other cancers. In patients with advanced stage DSRCT and SySa, conventional chemotherapeutic approaches frequently lead to disease response, however, the duration of progression-free time after chemotherapy is short. The targeted approach with pasireotide after initial intensive multimodal treatment may have the potential to significantly improve outcome.

Long-term controlled release with reduced initial burst release utilizing calcium ion-triggering nanoaggregates of pasireotide-loaded fattigated albumin nanoparticles

Article

Author: Nguyen, Hy Dinh ; Lee, Beom-Jin ; Gil, Myung-Chul ; Baek, Eun Jin ; Ngo, Hai Van

The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term controlled release of peptide-loaded fattigated albumin nanoparticles via calcium ion-triggering nanoaggregation with minimal initial burst release. Fattigated albumin nanoparticles were prepared via sonication by the self-assembly of human serum albumin (HSA)-oleic acid conjugates (AOC) with three different substitution ratios of oleic acid (OA) to modulate hydrophobicity. Then, pasireotide pamoate (PAS) as a model peptide was encapsulated into the hydrophobic core of HSA-OA nanoparticles (PAS-AONs). The critical micelle concentration of AOC decreased as OA substitution ratio increased. The loading efficiency of PAS increased owing to the strong hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions between PAS and the hydrophobic block in the AONs. The release rate was also delayed, whereas the initial burst release was minimized, as the hydrophobicity of AOC increased. Interestingly, calcium ions triggered the formation of nanoaggregates of negatively charged PAS-AONs via electrostatic interactions, resulting in a further decrease in the release rate for one month via a reduced surface area while minimizing the initial burst release in a calcium ion concentration-dependent manner. The modulation of OA substitutions and calcium ion concentration of AONs could provide the potential for long-term delivery of peptide drugs while minimizing the initial huge burst release and controlling the release rate.

Investigation into in silico and in vitro approaches for inhibitors targeting MCM10 in Leishmania donovani: a comprehensive study

Article

Author: Sharma, Anupama ; Saha, Satabdi ; Kumar, Diwakar ; Bhowmik, Deep

Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), the second neglected tropical disease caused by various Leishmania species, presents a significant public health challenge due to limited treatment options and the absence of vaccines. The agent responsible for visceral leishmaniasis, also referred to as "black fever" in India, is Leishmania donovani. This study focuses on L. donovani Minichromosome maintenance 10 (LdMcm10), a crucial protein in the DNA replication machinery, as a potential therapeutic target in Leishmania therapy using in silico and in vitro approaches. We employed bioinformatics tools, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations to predict potential inhibitors against the target protein. The research revealed that the target protein lacks homologues in the host, emphasizing its potential as a drug target. Ligands from the DrugBank database were screened against LdMcm10 using PyRx software. The top three compounds, namely suramin, vapreotide, and pasireotide, exhibiting the best docking scores, underwent further investigation through molecular dynamic simulation and in vitro analysis. The observed structural dynamics suggested that LdMcm10-ligand complexes maintained consistent binding throughout the 300 ns simulation period, with minimal variations in their backbone. These findings suggest that these three compounds hold promise as potential lead compounds for developing new drugs against leishmaniasis. In vitro experiments also demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction in L. donovani viability for suramin, vapreotide, and pasireotide, with computed IC₅₀ values providing quantitative metrics of their anti-leishmanial efficacy. The research offers a comprehensive understanding of LdMcm10 as a drug target and provides a foundation for further investigations and clinical exploration, ultimately advancing drug discovery strategies for leishmaniasis treatment.

PURPOSE:

A recent update of consensus guidelines for the management of Cushing's disease (CD) included indications for medical therapy. However, there is limited evidence regarding their implementation in clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate current medical therapy approaches by expert pituitary centers through an audit conducted to validate the criteria of Pituitary Tumors Centers of Excellence (PTCOEs) and provide an initial standard of medical care for CD.

METHODS:

Based on the activities of nine international PTCOEs between 2018 and 2020, we evaluated patients under medical treatment and their biochemical control rates.

RESULTS:

The median number of active patients with CD per center was 117 (35-279), with a median number of 10 new patients with CD managed annually in the endocrinology units of PTCOEs (4-42). The median percentage of patients with CD receiving medical treatment was 13.3% (4.8-82.9). Ketoconazole was the most frequently used drug, with a median rate of usage of 26.5% (5-66.7) of those receiving medical therapy. The median rates of metyrapone and pasireotide use were 17.2% (0-50) and 9.3% (0-51.7), respectively. For cabergoline and osilodrostat, therapy, the median rates of use were 2.8% (0-33.3), and 1.7% (0-25), respectively. Combination therapy was reported to be utilized in 13.6% (0-45.5) of medically treated patients. Mifepristone was used in a single center, representing 1.1% of its medically treated patients. Overall, the median control rate in patients with CD receiving medical treatment was 75% (10-100).

CONCLUSION:

Adrenal steroidogenesis inhibitors were the most commonly used medications amongst the centers. Despite the use of combination therapy, up to 25% of patients did not achieve disease control even in PTCOEs, highlighting the need for either more efficient combination therapies or novel therapeutic options.

RECORDATI: CONTINUED DOUBLE-DIGIT GROWTH IN THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2024 - REVENUE +12.0%, EBITDA(1) +11.8%, ADJUSTED NET INCOME(2) +9.5%

Consolidated net revenue of € 1,743.1 million in the first nine months, +12.0% or +9.3% on a like-for-like basis(3) and at constant exchange rates (CER)EBITDA(1) of € 665.7 million, +11.8%, revenue margin of 38.2% Adjusted net income(2) of € 445.4 million, +9.5% Net income of € 338.4 million, +11.1% Free cash flow(4) at € 434.3 million, +€ 42.5 million vs prior yearNet debt(5) at € 1,317.3 million, just below 1.6x EBITDAFinancial targets for FY 2024 confirmed, excluding any potential contribution from Enjaymo® Global Rare Diseases business to be further strengthened by announced agreement with Sanofi to acquire the global rights to Enjaymo®; deal expected to close by end of 2024, subject to regulatory approvals Isturisa®approved in China for the treatment of adult patients with Cushing syndromeResolution to distribute an interim 2024 dividend of € 0.60 per shareApproval of a new share buy-back program to service the stock option and performance shares plans Milan, November 8th, 2024 – The Board of Directors of Recordati S.p.A. approved the Group’s Interim Report on 30th September 2024, representing additional voluntary financial reporting (6). The Report was prepared using the assessment, measurement and recognition criteria prescribed by international accounting standards (IFRS). The Group’s Interim Report dated 30th September 2024 will be available on 11th November at the company’s offices and on the company’s website (www.recordati.com) and can also be viewed on the authorized storage system 1Info (www.1Info.it). Rob Koremans, Chief Executive Officer of Recordati, commented: “During the first nine months, we delivered double-digit revenue and profit growth, reflecting the strong performance across the business with more patients benefiting from our therapies. These results reflect the continued commitment of all our people, who are instrumental to our success. With a positive outlook for the remainder of the year, we are well positioned to achieve our upgraded financial objectives for FY 2024. Together, we will continue to build on our momentum and create lasting value for our stakeholders. “I am also pleased to highlight our recent agreement with Sanofi to acquire the global rights to Enjaymo®, the only approved treatment option for patients with cold agglutinin disease. This transaction will reinforce our strong commitment to serving patients with rare diseases and is a strong strategic fit to our portfolio, bringing a product with a robust profile, supported by a strong team, with attractive financial contributions expected on both the top and bottom lines.” Financial highlights Consolidated net revenue for the first nine months of 2024 was € 1,743.1 million, up 12.0% versus the first nine months of 2023 or 9.3% on a like-for-like(3) basis at CER. This was driven by strong business momentum across both Specialty & Primary Care and Rare Diseases. The adverse FX impact for the first nine months of 2024 was € 35.9 million (-2.3%), mainly driven by the devaluation of the Turkish lira, particularly in the first and third quarters, which was compensated by high price inflation in Türkiye. Specialty & Primary Care revenue totaled € 1,094.4 million in the first nine months of 2024, growing 11.1% or 6.5% on a like-for-like(3) basis at CER (+2.6% excluding Türkiye). This reflects a particularly strong performance from the Urology franchise with 51.4% growth versus the previous year, driven by the double-digit growth of Eligard® and the € 82.9 million contribution of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart®(7) (versus € 3.8 million in the third quarter of 2023). The Cardiovascular and Gastrointestinal franchises remained resilient and delivered slight growth, while the Cough and Cold business reflected solid in-market performance in the context of a softer flu season as compared to the previous year.Rare Diseases revenue totaled € 605.6 million in the first nine months of 2024, up 14.1% as compared to the first nine months of 2023, or 14.5% at CER, driven by the key growth franchises of Oncology and Endocrinology which continue to show substantial further growth potential. The Endocrinology franchise achieved net revenue of € 239.4 million, an increase of 36.0% and reflecting the continued strong performance of Isturisa® and double-digit growth of Signifor®. The Oncology franchise achieved net revenue of € 175.9 million, an increase of 17.1%, driven by double-digit growth from both Qarziba® and Sylvant®. The Metabolic franchise achieved net revenue of € 190.2 million, a decrease of 6.9%, mainly due to generic competition for Carbaglu® in the US and EMEA, with growth in other international markets. Adjusted operating income(8) was € 539.5 million for the first nine months of 2024, up 9.7% over the previous year, and 31.0% of net revenue versus 31.6% in the same period last year. Operating income was € 504.1 million in the first nine months of 2024, up 14.9% over the first nine months of 2023, absorbing gross margin-related non-cash charges of € 28.1 million (versus € 47.2 million in first nine months of 2023), arising from the unwind of the fair value step up of the acquired rare oncology inventory. Non-recurring costs were € 7.3 million in the first nine months of 2024, versus € 5.4 million in the first nine months of 2023, which includes € 2.5 million related to the agreement with Sanofi for the global rights to Enjaymo®.EBITDA(1) was € 665.7 million for the first nine months of 2024, up 11.8% compared to the first nine months of 2023, with margin of 38.2% of net revenue, in line with the previous year. Strong revenue and operating leverage were, in part, offset by a reduction in adjusted gross profit margin due to the consolidation of Avodart® and Combodart®/ Duodart® and product mix.Financial expenses were € 62.3 million, up by € 13.3 million compared to the previous year, including € 2.8 million in FX losses (mostly unrealized, compared to losses of € 0.3 million in the first nine months of 2023) and € 3.9 million of net monetary losses from hyperinflation accounting (compared to a gain of € 1.8 million in the first nine months of 2023). Adjusted net income(2) was € 445.4 million, 25.6% of revenue, up by 9.5% compared to the same period of 2023, with higher adjusted operating income partially offset by an increase in financial expenses and a higher tax rate, following a statutory tax rate increase in some countries. Net income was € 338.4 million, 19.4% of revenue, an increase of 11.1% versus first nine months of 2023, with the higher tax rate and financing expenses offsetting the higher operating income. Free cash flow(4) was € 434.3 million for the first nine months of 2024, an increase of € 42.5 million versus the the first nine months of 2023, driven by higher EBITDA which was slightly offset by higher interests and income taxes paid. Net debt(5) as of 30th September 2024 was € 1,317.3 million, or leverage of just below 1.6x EBITDA(6), compared to net debt of € 1,579.4 million on 31st December 2023. Shareholders’ equity was € 1,876.1 million. Pipeline and Corporate Development The Isturisa® new drug application (NDA) was approved by the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in September for the treatment of adult patients with Cushing syndrome. On October 4th, the Group announced an agreement with Sanofi to acquire the global rights to Enjaymo®, a biologic which is the only approved targeted product for the treatment of cold agglutinin disease (CAD), a rare B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. In 2022, Enjaymo® was granted approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Commission (EC) and the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Enjaymo® generated approximately € 100 million in revenue over the last 12 months as of August 2024 and is expected to generate revenue in excess of € 150 million in FY 2025, with peak sales potential of € 250-300 million. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive at the EBITDA level, with margin above the current Rare Diseases average as of 2025. Under the terms of the agreement, Recordati will make an upfront payment of US$ 825 million and additional commercial milestone payments of up to US$ 250 million if net sales reach certain thresholds at or above the top end of peak year sales expectations. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2024, subject to regulatory clearances (see also press release issued on October 4th 2024). The deal will be funded by existing cash and new committed bank debt facilities. Business outlook Thanks to continued strong momentum, the Group is on track to deliver the targets for FY 2024 as adjusted upward on July 30th (excluding any potential contribution from Enjaymo®): Net revenue between € 2,300 and € 2,340 millionEBITDA(1) between € 845 and € 865 million; margin of +/- 37%Adjusted net income(2) between € 560 and € 580 million; margin of +/- 24.5%Minimal contribution expected from Enjaymo®, subject to timing of regulatory approvals Additional resolutions Interim dividend 2024 The Board of Directors passed a resolution to distribute an interim 2024 dividend to shareholders of € 0.60 (gross of tax withholdings) per share outstanding at the ex-dividend date, thus excluding treasury stock held in the Company’s portfolio on that date. The 2024 interim dividend will be payable as of 20th November 2024 (record date 19th November 2024), with coupon no. 34, to shareholders registered on 18th November 2024.

GPCR Family Anticancer Targets and Marketed Therapeutic Drugs (Part 1)

This article will inventory the anti-tumor targets in the GPCR family and the therapeutic drugs that have been marketed. 01 GnRHRGonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptor is a member of the seven-transmembrane GPCR (G protein-coupled receptor) family. It is expressed on the surface of pituitary gonadotropin cells, as well as lymphocytes, mammary glands, ovaries, and prostates. Upon binding with gonadotropin-releasing hormone, the receptor associates with G proteins that activate the phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Activation of the receptor ultimately leads to the release of gonadotropins: luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Leuprolide (Leuprorelin) is a synthetic analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) developed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals, commonly used for treating certain types of hormone-dependent cancers, such as prostate and breast cancers, as well as non-cancerous conditions like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and certain types of infertility. Leuprolide mimics the natural GnRH signals in the brain, initially causing a transient increase in hormone levels, followed by suppression of hormone production, thereby reducing symptoms and growth of these hormone-dependent diseases. Leuprolide is an injectable, administered via subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. Due to its control over hormone levels, Leuprolide is also used in treating precocious puberty in children. Additionally, GnRH analogues such as Goserelin developed by AstraZeneca, Buserelin by Sanofi, Nafarelin by Pfizer, and Gonadorelin by Mitsubishi Tanabe are all agnostic drugs of the GnRHR type. In recent years, antagonist drugs targeting GnRHR have also been reported for the treatment of certain hormone-dependent diseases. For instance: Degarelix is a GnRH receptor antagonist developed by Ferring Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of prostate cancer. It is also the first antagonist drug targeting the GnRHR globally, inhibiting the production of sex hormones (such as testosterone) by blocking the GnRH receptor, thereby suppressing the growth of prostate cancer cells. It is typically administered as an injection, rapidly reducing testosterone levels to castration levels. Ferring Pharmaceuticals subsequently licensed the commercial rights for Degarelix to Astellas and Pfizer. Relugolix is another GnRH receptor antagonist used for treating advanced prostate cancer. It also works by blocking the GnRH receptor and lowering sex hormone levels. Relugolix is also under investigation for the treatment of uterine fibroids and endometriosis. Relugolix was originally developed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals and is the first small molecule drug globally targeting the GnRH receptor. Linzagolix is an oral GnRH receptor antagonist for the treatment of various hormone-dependent diseases including endometriosis and uterine fibroids. Linzagolix has been approved in the European Union and the UK for treating moderate to severe symptoms associated with uterine fibroids. 02 SSTRThe Somatostatin Receptor Type (SSTR) belongs to the GPCR (G-protein-coupled receptor) family and comprises five subtypes (SSTR1-SSTR5). SSTRs play a critical role in the endocrine and nervous systems and are potential targets for the treatment of multiple diseases, particularly neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Somatostatin (SST) is the natural ligand for SSTRs, and cortistatin (CST) is a neuropeptide that also binds with high affinity to all subtypes of SSTRs. Due to the high sequence homology between different SSTR subtypes, developing drugs that can selectively modulate specific subtypes presents a challenge, but this is essential for minimizing off-target effects. In targeted SSTR therapies, peptide radioligand therapies represent a significant research focus. For instance, Novartis's (177Lu)Lutathera, a peptide radioligand therapy targeting SSTR2, has been approved for the treatment of adult patients with SSTR-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. The illustration below shows the differential tissue distribution of various SSTRs. Exploring dual-target drugs is an innovative direction, where the advantage of bi-targeted radiopharmaceuticals lies in the potential synergistic effects between the two targets, thereby enhancing safety and efficacy. Radiopharmaceutical development is exploring new indications such as pancreatic cancer, renal cancer, stomach cancer, thyroid cancer, lung cancer, and Parkinson's disease to broaden the therapeutic spectrum. Somatostatin is a polypeptide hormone composed of 14 amino acid residues, including a single disulfide bond. This hormone inhibits the secretion of growth hormone, insulin, glucagon, gastrin, pancreatic enzymes, and thyrotropin. However, due to its very short half-life in the body (less than 3 minutes), its therapeutic value is limited. Research on the β-turn pharmacophore of somatostatin has led to the development of more biologically stable and potent analogs. Octreotide was developed based on this lead sequence and approved for treating acromegaly, adenomas, and pancreatic, breast, and prostate tumors. DOI: 10.3390/molecules25174012 Subsequent research has pushed the development of selective receptor antagonists such as lanreotide, vapreotide, and pasireotide, and has introduced peptide imaging and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. In these radiological therapies, radioactive elements like 111In, 90Y, 68Ga, or 99mTc are linked to selective somatostatin analogs through chelating groups, which led to the approval of radiopharmaceutical preparations such as 111In-labeled pentetreotide, 99mTc-labeled depreotide, 68Ga-labeled DOTA-TATE and DOTA-TOC, and 64Cu-labeled DOTA-TATE. These drugs are used for tumor detection. Several synthetic peptides and radiopharmaceuticals targeting SSTRs have been approved for market, with representative drugs including: Octreotide, developed by Novartis as a synthetic octapeptide somatostatin analog, is an SSTR agonist. Clinically, it is primarily used to treat conditions such as acromegaly, thyrotoxicosis, gastrointestinal fistulas, and symptoms and signs associated with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Octreotide inhibits the secretion of growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, insulin, and glucagon by binding to SSTRs, especially subtypes SSTR2 and SSTR5. Pentetreotide is another synthetic octapeptide that, unlike Octreotide, forms the radioactive drug 111In-pentetreotide by binding to the radiolabeled isotope Indium-111 via the chelator DTPA. This compound enables the use of Pentetreotide in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging to detect tumors expressing SSTRs. It has a relatively fast renal clearance rate, offering a significant advantage over the first-generation [123I-Tyr3]-octreotide, a radioactive iodine-labeled octapeptide somatostatin analog. However, it has shortcomings, such as the need for a high tumor/noise intensity ratio, lower imaging resolution, medium affinity for receptors, and high γ-energy, which results in a higher radiation dose to patients. 111In-pentetreotide Lanreotide is a synthetic somatostatin analog, belonging to octapeptide derivatives. It has structural and functional similarities to Octreotide, but with different pharmacokinetic properties that make it a long-acting somatostatin analog. Gallium Dotatate Ga-68, developed by Advanced Accelerator Applications, is a radioactive diagnostic agent that uses DOTA to chelate Gallium-68 for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, mainly targeting neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) expressing somatostatin receptors. The three radioactive drugs differ slightly in pharmacokinetic properties, primarily due to variations in affinity for specific receptor subtypes. [68Ga]-DOTATATE specifically binds to SSTR2, indicating its primary interaction with this receptor subtype; [68Ga]-DOTATOC has high affinity for SSTR2 and moderate affinity for SSTR5; while [68Ga]-DOTANOC shows high affinity for SSTR2, SSTR3, and SSTR5, making it a broad-target drug for multiple receptor subtypes. Lutetium Lu-177 dotatate, another therapeutic radiopharmaceutical developed by Advanced Accelerator Applications, targets tumor cells by binding to SSTR, particularly SSTR2 subtype. This binding allows the radioactive isotope Lutetium-177 to emit β-particles, thereby killing tumor cells. Yttrium-90 (a pure high-energy β-emitter with a half-life T1/2 = 64 hours) and Lutetium-177 (a moderate energy β-emitter with a half-life T1/2 = 6.7 days) are the most commonly used elements in peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. Each has specific advantages for targeted therapy. 90Y has higher particle energy and penetration, useful for treating larger tumors, while 177Lu, emitting lower-energy radiation, is better suited for smaller tumors. Additionally, its γ-radiation energy allows for scintigraphy scanning and dose determination during therapy. The image above shows [68Ga]-DOTATOC (commercial name Somakit®) and [177Lu]-DOTATATE (commercial name Lutatherav®), which are used to treat patients with progressive metastatic midgut neuroendocrine tumors. In October 2017, Novartis acquired French innovator Advanced Accelerator Applications for $3.9 billion to build and expand its radioligand therapy platform. In 2018, Novartis further invested $2.1 billion to acquire the biopharmaceutical company Endocyte, gaining more radiopharmaceutical candidates. Through these acquisitions, Novartis has established and expanded its radioligand therapy platform, holding several marketed products like Lutathera (177Lu-DOTATATE) and 68Ga-Edotreotide, along with many in development, including 177Lu-PSMA-617, 177Lu-PSMA-R2, 177Lu-NeoB, 177Lu-FF58, and 255Ac-PSMA-617. According to the Synapse database, multiple drugs targeting SSTRs or selectively targeting different SSTR subtypes are approved for the market or are in clinical research, with radiopharmaceuticals and diagnostics focusing on this target being particularly noteworthy.

Progress in the Discovery of New Drugs Targeting GPCR Class for Gastric Cancer

Gastric Cancer (GC), also known simply as GC, is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide, with over one hundred million new cases reported in 2022, leading to the death of 783,000 individuals. Globally, the incidence and mortality rates of gastric cancer have been on the decline in most regions over the past few decades. This considerable change is largely attributed to economic development and improved practices in food preservation associated with refrigeration technology during food transport and storage. In 2020, it was estimated that there were 1.1 million cases of stomach cancer diagnosed globally, with 720,000 in males and 370,000 in females. Stomach cancer ranks among the top three most common cancers in 19 countries worldwide and is the most common cancer in four countries: Bhutan, Kyrgyzstan, Cape Verde, and Tajikistan. Sixty percent of all stomach cancer cases occur in East Asia, with China alone accounting for 43.9% of cases. The incidence of stomach cancer is higher in males, with 66% of all cases occurring in men. There are significant differences in the incidence rates across different regions; in several African countries, the incidence rate is less than 5 cases per 100,000 person-years in males, whereas in East Asian countries, it exceeds 30 cases per 100,000 person-years. This indicates that factors such as gender, region, and level of economic development have a significant impact on the incidence of stomach cancer. Moreover, in high-incidence areas such as East Asia, especially China, the prevention and control of stomach cancer represent a considerable challenge. In 2020, it was estimated that there were 1.1 million cases of stomach cancer diagnosed globally, with 720,000 in males and 370,000 in females. Stomach cancer ranks among the top three most common cancers in 19 countries worldwide and is the most common cancer in four countries: Bhutan, Kyrgyzstan, Cape Verde, and Tajikistan.

Moreover, in high-incidence areas such as East Asia, especially China, the prevention and control of stomach cancer represent a considerable challenge. From: DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2022.101404However, unlike the previously reported continuous decline in the overall incidence rate across all age groups, recent reports indicate an increase in the incidence of gastric cancer among young adults (under the age of 50), particularly a noticeable growth in the incidence of non-cardia tumors among the more affluent population. Gastric cancer can be roughly divided into two major anatomical sub-sites: although the majority of gastric cancers occur in the distal part of the stomach (non-cardia), globally, about 18% of gastric cancers originate in the cardia, which is the region adjacent to the gastroesophageal junction. Both anatomical locations of gastric cancer have overlapping risk factors, such as smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, and consumption of pickled foods; however, they also have their distinct etiologies. Cardia gastric cancer is often associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease and obesity, while approximately 90% of non-cardia gastric cancers can be attributed to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. This implies that prevention and treatment strategies for different types of gastric cancer may need to be distinct, especially considering the rising incidence rates in young populations and the etiological differences between cardia and non-cardia gastric cancers. From: DOI: 10.1016/ S0140-6736(16)30354-3Timeline of Significant Discoveries and Key Advances in the Treatment of Gastric Cancer: In recent years, targeted therapies against specific molecular targets have been introduced into clinical practice, such as the anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab and the anti-VEGFR-2 antibody ramucirumab. Claudin 18.2 is also a significant target for gastric cancer treatment, as the gene is associated with specific molecular subtypes involved in the development and progression of gastric cancer. This gene and its interaction pathways serve as potential targets for the development of new personalized treatment strategies. The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathway is one of those pathways. Abnormal activation of GPCRs and G proteins can promote the progression of gastric cancer. Activated GPCRs/G proteins may serve as effective biomarkers for early diagnosis, prognostic prediction, and clinical therapeutic targets. This indicates that through the detection and intervention of these receptors and their aberrant activation states, it is possible to achieve early detection, accurate prognostic assessment, and targeted treatment of gastric cancer, thereby improving patient survival rates and quality of life. GPCR and Gastric CancerAs early as 1986, a study by Young et al. was the first to link G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with tumorigenic activity. They demonstrated through experiments that the Mas proto-oncogene could confer tumorigenicity to NIH 3T3 cells in vivo in nude mice. Mas encodes a typical GPCR and, unlike most oncogenes, does not carry activating oncogenic mutations. Instead, tumorigenicity is caused by its overexpression and the abundance of ligands in the circulation system or locally produced ligands. There is now a substantial body of evidence suggesting that various wild-type GPCRs, acting under the influence of excessive circulating agonists or agonists produced within the tumor microenvironment, can induce oncogenic transformation and drive tumor progression. Specific neuropeptides, particularly neurotransmitters and intestinal hormones, play an autocrine and paracrine role in various cancers. These neuropeptides include Gastrin-Releasing Peptide (GRP), Endothelin, Bradykinin, Neuromedin B, Neuropeptide Y, Gastrin, Cholecystokinin, Arginine Vasopressin, and Angiotensin II, among others. Each, upon binding to their respective GPCRs, triggers sustained activation, thereby stimulating proliferation in a variety of cell types and playing a crucial role in many malignant human cancers, such as small cell lung carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, and gastric cancer. From: DOI: 10.3390/cancers15030736Progress in the development of new drugs for gastric cancer targeting GPCR-class receptorsAccording to statistics from the Synapse database, there are currently nearly 1000 research and development pipelines for gastric cancer globally, of which 38 are GPCR (G protein-coupled receptor) type target pipelines. Popular pipeline targets include SSTR, EP2R, EP4R, CCR8, CCKR, SMO, NTSR1, A2bR, CCR7, among others. The leading indications related to gastric cancer include gastric cancer, gastro-enteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, gastroesophageal junction tumors, and Her2-negative gastric cancer, among others. The principal types of therapeutic agents include radiopharmaceuticals, peptide conjugates, radionuclide-conjugated drugs, synthetic peptides, monoclonal antibodies, and fusion proteins. In the field of clinical research, the major regions for clinical studies on gastric medications are the United States, China, Japan, Europe, Australia, and others. Several drugs are currently in the late stages of clinical trials (Phase 2, Phase 2/3, Phase 3, etc.). Representative investigational drugs include: Representative Pipeline: (177Lu) Lutetium-DOTATATE and SSTRs ReceptorLutetium-177 Dotatate (LU-177 Lutetium Dotatate, also known as Lutathera) is a radiopharmaceutical developed by Advanced Accelerator Applications. It is primarily used for the treatment of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). This medicinal product is formed by the conjugation of the somatostatin analogue Dotatate with the radioactive isotope Lutetium-177. Dotatate is a compound that can specifically bind to somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) that are overexpressed on neuroendocrine tumor cells. Lutetium-177 is a beta-emitting radioisotope. When combined with Dotatate, the resultant Lutetium-177 Dotatate can accurately target and accumulate within tumor cells that express high levels of somatostatin receptors. The radioactive decay of Lutetium-177 releases beta radiation, which destroys the cancer cells, thereby achieving a localized radiation therapy effect. Somatostatin is a peptide hormone composed of 14 amino acid residues and features a single disulfide bond. This hormone is capable of inhibiting the secretion of growth hormone, insulin, glucagon, gastrin, cholecystokinin, and thyrotropin, but due to its extremely short half-life in the body (less than 3 minutes), its value in therapy is limited. Research has identified the β-turn pharmacophore of somatostatin, which has become the lead sequence for the development of analogs with greater biological stability and potency. Based on this, octreotide was developed and approved for the treatment of acromegaly, adenomas, and pancreatic, breast, and prostate tumors. Subsequent research has spurred the development of selective receptor antagonists, such as lanreotide, vapreotide, and pasireotide, and has introduced the fields of peptide imaging and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. In these radionuclide therapies, radioactive elements such as ^111In, ^90Y, ^68Ga, or ^99mTc are linked to selective somatostatin analogs through chelating groups, leading to approved radiopharmaceutical formulations. These drugs can be used for tumor detection. In 2001, a preclinical animal model study on Lutetium Dotatate LU-177 was published in the International Journal of Cancer. It reported on the investigation of the biologic distribution of the drug in a rat model of pancreatic tumors, and these data were used to estimate the absorbed doses in normal human tissue. A 2004 study on the treatment effectiveness in patients with metastatic gastroenteropancreatic tumors positive for the somatostatin receptor revealed that, out of 50 patients treated with Lutetium Dotatate LU-177, disease stabilization was achieved in 24 patients, 19 patients experienced stable disease, the condition of 6 patients progressed, and 1 patient's disease status could not be assessed. The therapy significantly improved their overall health condition, quality of life, and scores for various functions and symptoms. In 2005, a clinical study on the use of Lutetium Dotatate LU-177 in 131 patients with metastatic or inoperable somatostatin receptor-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors was announced. After treatment with a maximum cumulative dose of 600 to 800 mCi of Lutetium Dotatate LU-177, 3 patients (2%) achieved complete remission, 32 patients (26%) had partial remission, 24 patients (19%) showed a minor response (tumor size reduction of 25% to 50%), 44 patients (35%) had stable disease, whereas 22 patients (18%) experienced disease progression. A high remission rate correlated positively with high uptake shown on pre-treatment somatostatin receptor imaging and fewer liver metastases. In contrast, patients with lower performance scores and extensive disease distribution had a significantly higher frequency of disease progression. Severe side effects were very rare, and the median time to disease progression was comparable to that with chemotherapy, with better effectiveness in patients with a limited tumor burden. An expanded clinical study published in 2008 further validated the safety and efficacy of Lutetium Dotatate LU-177. In a study involving 310 patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, complete and partial tumor response rates were observed at 2% and 28%, respectively, with minor response rates (tumor size reduction of over 25% but less than 50%) at 16%. Compared with historical controls, this treatment method provided a survival benefit of 40 to 72 months from the point of diagnosis. From: DOI: 10.1200/JCO.2007.15.2553In 2017, results from a Phase 3 clinical study published in The New England Journal of Medicine indicated that, in a randomized, controlled trial involving 210 patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, the experimental group (116 patients) receiving intravenous injections of 7.4 GBq dose of Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate every 8 weeks for a total of four times, along with a concurrent intramuscular injection of 30 mg of long-acting octreotide every 4 weeks, had a significantly higher estimated progression-free survival rate at 20 months (65.2%) compared to the control group (10.8%), which consisted of 113 patients treated only with intramuscular injections of 60 mg of long-acting octreotide every 4 weeks. Additionally, the response rate for the Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate group was 18%, markedly higher than the 3% observed in the control group. From: DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1607427Based on this, at the end of 2017, the U.S. FDA approved Lutetium Dotatate LU-177 for the treatment of patients with somatostatin receptor-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Due to its targeted nature and relatively low systemic toxicity, this therapy has received widespread attention and application in the field of precision medicine. In October 2017, Novartis acquired the French innovative pharmaceutical company Advanced Accelerator Applications for $3.9 billion to build and expand its radioligand therapy platform. In 2018, Novartis invested an additional $2.1 billion to acquire the biopharmaceutical company Endocyte, securing several more radiopharmaceutical candidates. Through these acquisitions, Novartis has established and extended its radioligand therapy platform, comprising multiple marketed products: Lutathera (177Lu-DOTATATE) and 68Ga-Edotreotide, as well as several products in development: 177Lu-PSMA-617, 177Lu-PSMA-R2, 177Lu-NeoB, 177Lu-FF58, 225Ac-PSMA-617, etc. Furthermore, Lanreotide Acetate is a non-selective somatostatin receptor (SSTRs) antagonist that was first approved for marketing in 2002 for the treatment of acromegaly. Its investigational indications include gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. 68Ga-Edotreotide is a non-selective SSTRs antagonist product developed by Advanced Accelerator Applications. It is a radioactive diagnostic agent used in PET scans to detect somatostatin receptor-positive neuroendocrine tumors in both adult and pediatric patients. Other related R&D pipelinesMisoprostol is a medication primarily used to reduce the risk of stomach ulcers in users of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Its mechanism of action involves stimulating prostaglandin receptors in the stomach, enhancing gastric protection against acidic substances, and reducing gastric acid secretion, thereby protecting the gastric mucosa from damage. Additionally, Misoprostol is used for various medical applications: in the field of gynecology, it can be used to manage early miscarriage, prevent postpartum hemorrhage, and perform abortion surgery during early pregnancy. When Misoprostol acts on prostaglandin receptors in the uterus and cervix, it increases the strength and frequency of uterine contractions and decreases cervical tension, thus playing a key role in the management of miscarriage. ONO-4578, developed by Ono Pharmaceutical, is a highly selective antagonist of the EP4 receptor and is currently being studied for its safety and efficacy as monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including gastric cancer. Based on the results of a Phase 1 clinical study, ONO-4578 has demonstrated good tolerability and certain antitumor activity. YY-001 and HTL-0039732 are selective EP4 receptor antagonists developed by Shanghai Yu Yao and Sosei Group, respectively, and are currently involved in clinical studies for various solid tumors, including gastric cancer. BMS-986340 is an IgG1 subtype monoclonal antibody product targeting CCR8, originally researched and developed by BMS. This drug possesses enhanced non-fucosylated (NF) Fc region features. As the CCR8 receptor is a chemokine receptor expressed on the surface of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and participates in the regulation of the immune system, BMS-986340 has been engineered to specifically bind CCR8. Due to its non-fucosylated Fc segment, it enhances effector functions against target cells. This optimization enables BMS-986340 to effectively deplete regulatory T cells (Tregs), which may modulate the immune response for treating diseases associated with excessive immunosuppression or dysfunctional Tregs. Currently, clinical trials for various solid tumors, including gastric cancer, are underway involving BMS-986340. FPI-2059 is a small molecule radiopharmaceutical that targets the Neurotensin Receptor 1 (NTSR1). This receptor is overexpressed in a variety of solid tumors, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, gastric cancer, Ewing sarcoma, and neuroendocrine-differentiated prostate cancer. FPI-2059 is developed based on compounds previously known as IPN-1087 and 3BP-227. These compounds have been studied as beta-emitting radiopharmaceuticals in researcher-initiated studies and phase I clinical trials. In 2021, Fusion Pharmaceuticals acquired this asset and transformed it into an alpha-emitting radiopharmaceutical, labeled with Actinium-225. Concurrently, FPI-2058 is a diagnostic analog of FPI-2059, replacing Actinium-225 with Indium-111 as the radioactive isotope for medical imaging and diagnostic purposes. This targeted radiopharmaceutical design aims to achieve precise targeted therapy and diagnosis for the aforementioned types of tumors. TT-4 is a selective A2B receptor antagonist developed by Tarus Therapeutics that is currently in phase 1/2 clinical development. The trial aims to evaluate its therapeutic effect in patients with various advanced solid tumors, including gastric cancer. 177Lu-PP-F11N is a radioactive drug complex that combines PP-F11N (a gastrin analog) with the beta-emitting radioactive isotope Lutetium-177. This drug exhibits potential antitumor activity and may be used as an agent for single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) imaging. After intravenous injection, PP-F11N specifically binds to the Cholecystokinin-2 Receptor (CCK2R). This allows visualization of the tumor cells expressing the CCK-2 receptor using nuclear medicine imaging techniques. Additionally, the Lutetium-177 radioactive isotope delivers cytotoxic doses of beta-radiation to the tumor cells expressing the CCK-2 receptor, providing targeted destruction of these cells. As the CCK-2 receptor is widely expressed in various types of tumor cells, 177Lu-PP-F11N has the potential for the treatment of these specific types of tumors and offers targeted imaging for personalized, precise cancer diagnosis and therapy.
