Preclinical Development: Overview01:28

Preclinical Development: Overview

6.5K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

Clinical Trials: Overview

5.5K
Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
There are four phases in a clinical trial. A phase one...

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.9K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.
The pharmacokinetic phase...

Summary

Tivozanib, a VEGF receptor inhibitor, showed promise in preclinical studies but faced setbacks in metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma clinical trials. Ongoing research explores its potential in other cancers and as a biomarker for treatment response.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pharmacology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Tivozanib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors.
  • It demonstrated preclinical efficacy in various solid tumors.
  • Previous clinical trials in renal cell carcinoma yielded mixed results regarding overall survival.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tivozanib in diverse solid tumors.
  • To investigate the role of neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) as a predictive biomarker for tivozanib response.
  • To explore ongoing clinical trials assessing tivozanib in hepatocellular carcinoma, sarcomas, and gynecologic cancers.

Main Methods:

  • Phase III TIVO-1 trial comparing tivozanib with sorafenib in metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
  • Analysis of serum neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) levels in the BATON-CRC trial.
  • Ongoing clinical trials in various solid tumor types.

Main Results:

  • Tivozanib demonstrated potent inhibition of VEGF receptors.
  • The TIVO-1 trial did not meet its primary endpoint for overall survival in renal cell carcinoma, leading to a negative recommendation from ODAC.
  • Low serum NRP-1 levels correlated with improved progression-free survival in patients treated with tivozanib in the BATON-CRC trial.

Conclusions:

  • Tivozanib's efficacy in renal cell carcinoma requires further investigation, despite its potent VEGFR inhibition.
  • Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) shows potential as a predictive biomarker for tivozanib treatment response.
  • Further clinical trials are warranted to fully characterize tivozanib's activity in other solid tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma, sarcomas, and gynecologic cancers.
