Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A deoxycytosine analog with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, DFP-10917 is phosphorylated to generate its nucleotide form that functions as a deoxycytosine mimic and is incorporated into DNA in tumor cells. This causes DNA strand breaks during polymerization due to beta-elimination during the fidelity checkpoint, which results in G2/M phase-arrest and tumor cell apoptosis.

Dfp-10917 has been investigated in 2 clinical trials, of which 1 is open and 1 is closed. Of the trials investigating dfp-10917, 1 is phase 1/phase 2 (0 open) and 1 is phase 3 (1 open).

PML-RARA Fusion, t(15;17)(q22;q12), and t(15;17)(q24;q21) are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for dfp-10917 clinical trials.

Acute myeloid leukemia is the most common disease being investigated in dfp-10917 clinical trials [2].
