Pancreatic Cancer: Understanding

Pancreatic Cancer: Overview

Pancreatic cancer is a disease in which malignant or cancer cells form in the tissues of the pancreas. Pancreatic cancer begins in the tissues of the pancreas – an organ in the abdomen that lies behind the lower part of the stomach. Pancreatic cancer most frequently arises from pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN), the classic pre-neoplastic lesions, but can also arise from larger precursor lesions, namely, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) and mucinous cystic neoplasms. It exhibits aberrant autocrine and paracrine signalling cascades that promote pancreatic cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and metastasis.

Pancreatic cancer also exhibits metabolic abnormalities and insensitivity to growth-inhibitory pathways. Loss of negative growth constraints is best exemplified by aberrant TGFβ signalling, which occurs due to increased expression of TGFβ isoforms. Although TGFβ is a physiological tumor suppressor, it promotes tumor progression in pancreatic cancer and many other solid tumors by exerting paracrine effects within the tumor microenvironment that lead to enhanced growth and metastasis. TGFβ can also directly induce pancreatic cancer cell proliferation by activating non-canonical signalling through mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation, proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src (SRC), and AKT phosphorylation, and by upregulating WNT7B expression through canonical SMAD4-dependent mechanisms.

The genes involved in the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer can be divided into three categories: tumor-suppressor genes, oncogenes, and DNA mismatch-repair genes. Understanding these mutations is critical to better understanding familial pancreatic cancer and to developing gene-based screening tests and therapies. The most frequent genetic abnormalities in invasive pancreatic adenocarcinoma are mutational activation of Kras oncogene and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, including CDKN2A, TP53, SMAD4, and BRCA2, widespread chromosomal losses, gene amplifications, and telomere shortening.

Chemotherapy is the main type of systemic therapy used for pancreatic cancer. However, targeted therapy and immunotherapy are occasionally used and are being studied as potential treatments in select individuals with specific molecular or genetic features. A person may receive one type of medication at a time or a combination of medications given at the same time. They can also be given as part of a treatment plan that includes surgery and/or radiation therapy. Patients with pancreatic cancer can choose from a variety of treatments. Clinical trials are being conducted to test various treatments, some of which are standard (currently used treatments). A new treatment might replace the standard one if clinical trials reveal that it is superior to the current one.

Pancreatic Cancer Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Pancreatic Cancer report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Pancreatic Cancer Emerging Drugs

• Pamrevlumab: FibroGen

Pamrevlumab is a potential first-in-class antibody being developed by FibroGen that inhibit the activity of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), a common factor in fibrotic and proliferative disorders characterized by persistent and excessive scarring that can lead to organ dysfunction and failure. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Orphan Drug Designation, and Fast Track designation to Pamrevlumab for the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer. Currently it is in Phase III stage of clinical trial evaluation to treat Pancreatic Cancer.

• Devimistat: Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals

CPI-613 (devimistat), is designed to target the mitochondria of cancer cells in order to disrupt their energy production, cutting off the fuel for disease growth. Cancer progresses because it utilizes the mitochondria – the energy machinery of the cells – to generate the building blocks of the next tumor in order to fuel cancer growth and proliferation. Because it is designed to be highly specific, minimally toxic and effective against a wide variety of cancers, devimistat can be used for recurrent and hard-to-treat cancers, including on a chronic basis; it may also enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to other treatment modalities, including chemotherapy. Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its development for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

• Masitinib: AB Science

Masitinib is a highly selective inhibitor of mast cell which gives therapeutic benefit by impacting on mast cell related remodeling of the tumor microenvironment. Masitinib is being developed in combination with chemotherapies for treatment of malignancies through its immunotherapeutic properties. The increased mast cell activity within the tumor microenvironment can promote disease progression through release of numerous pro-tumoral mediators, down-regulate the immune response to tumors, and modulation of macrophages towards a pro-tumoral state. The inhibition of the mast cell activity results in anti-tumor effect.

• SBP-101: Panbela Therapeutics

Ivospemin (SBP-101) is a proprietary polyamine analogue that, due to its unique chemical structure. It inhibits both S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase 1 (AMD1) and ornithine decarboxylase 1 (ODC1), two key enzymes in polyamine biosynthesis, lowering intracellular polyamine concentrations and slowing or preventing targeted cell growth and division. Ivospemin provide a multi-targeted approach to reset dysregulated biology present in many types of diseases such as cancer and autoimmunity. The polyamine pathway at complementary junctions alter the disease. In particular, the drug have the potential to suppress and prevent tumor growth, enhance anti-tumor activity of other anti-cancer agents, and modulate the immune system. Currently, the drug is in Phase II/III stage of its development for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

• TAS-102: Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

TAS-102 (Lonsurf) is an oral anticancer drug, which utilizes the combination of trifluridine (FTD) and tipiracil (TPI), whose dual mechanism of action is designed to maintain clinical activity and differs from conventional fluoropyrimidines. FTD is an antineoplastic nucleoside analogue, which is incorporated directly into the DNA, thereby interfering with the function of DNA. The blood concentration of FTD is maintained via TPI, which is an inhibitor of the FTD-degrading enzyme, thymidine phosphorylase. The drug is currently in Phase II trial for the pancreatic cancer.

• RAIN-32: Rain Oncology

RAIN-32 (Milademetan), an oral small molecule, inhibitor of mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) is being developed in patients with wildtype tumor protein 53 (p53) cancers that are also exhibiting MDM2 dependence. MDM2 dependence may be occurring either through MDM2 gene amplification, protein overexpression, and loss of an MDM2 regulator or other mechanism. The company commenced an additional Phase II trial in a multicenter, single arm, open-label, and basket trial evaluating milademetan for the treatment of MDM2-amplified advanced solid tumors (MANTRA-2) including pancreatic cancer.

• IMX-110: Immix Biopharma

IMX-110 is a Tissue-Specific Therapeutic™ built on ImmixBio's TME Normalization™ Technology encapsulating a poly-kinase inhibitor and apoptosis inducer delivered deep into the tumor micro-environment, or TME. ImmixBio's TME Normalization Technology enables IMX-110 to circulate in the bloodstream, then exit through porous tumor blood vessels, and accumulate in the TME. IMX-110 then simultaneously attacks all 3 components of the TME (cancer associated fibroblasts, or CAFs; tumor-associated macrophages/immune cells, or TAMs, and cancer itself), severing the critical lifelines between the tumor and its metabolic and structural support. IMX-110's TME Normalization Technology causes tumor apoptosis, a non-inflammatory tumor-cell death (vs. necroptosis, which results in repeat reignition of the inflammatory cascade leading to tumor progression).

IMX-110 is currently being evaluated in a Phase Ib/IIa open-label, dose-escalation/dose-expansion safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic study in patients with advanced solid tumors in the United States and Australia.
