Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.7K
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

1.2K
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...

Bioavailability Study Design: Single Versus Multiple Dose Studies

193
Bioavailability studies are essential for understanding how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted in the body. These studies assess the extent and rate at which the active pharmaceutical agent becomes available at the site of action. The design of bioavailability studies can involve single-dose or multiple-dose regimens, each with distinct advantages and limitations.Single-dose studies are the preferred approach due to their simplicity and reduced drug exposure for...

Clinical Trials: Overview01:11

Clinical Trials: Overview

4.5K
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

10.1K
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...

Drug Metabolism: Phase II Reactions01:14

Drug Metabolism: Phase II Reactions

4.8K
Phase II reactions are essential for the detoxification and elimination of drugs from the body. These reactions involve the conjugation of parent drugs or their phase I metabolites with endogenous molecules, resulting in more hydrophilic drug conjugates. The primary conjugation reactions in this phase are sulfation and glucuronidation. Both sulfation and glucuronidation typically produce biologically inactive metabolites. However, in some cases involving prodrugs, active metabolites may be...

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • The treatment landscape for multiple myeloma (MM) has significantly advanced, with current standards including combinations of CD38 monoclonal antibodies, proteasome inhibitors, and immunomodulatory drugs.
  • Novel targeted and immune-based therapies are increasingly integrated into earlier treatment lines.
  • There remains a critical need for innovative therapeutic options to enhance outcomes in both newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review preclinical and clinical data on mezigdomide, a cereblon E3 ligase modulator.
  • To assess the potential of mezigdomide as a novel therapeutic agent for RRMM.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search of PubMed, congress abstracts (last 5 years), and ClinicalTrials.gov.
  • Inclusion of studies using terms 'mezigdomide' or 'CC-92480' and 'myeloma'.

Main Results:

  • Mezigdomide exhibits higher cereblon binding affinity and greater protein degradation potency than existing immunomodulatory drugs.
  • Early-phase clinical trials indicate notable efficacy, even in poor-prognosis triple-class-refractory disease.
  • Preclinical studies show synergistic effects with standard-of-care therapies, and clinical evaluation in combinations is ongoing.

Conclusions:

  • Mezigdomide represents a promising novel therapeutic agent for RRMM.
  • Its unique mechanism and demonstrated efficacy suggest potential to improve outcomes in challenging MM settings.
  • Further clinical investigation, including combination therapies, is warranted.
