Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
An orally bioavailable, highly selective small molecule inhibitor of the gamma isoform of phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K-gamma) with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, IPI-549 prevents the activation of the PI3K-gamma-mediated signaling pathways, which may lead to a reduction in cellular proliferation in PI3K-gamma-expressing tumor cells. In addition, this agent is able to modulate anti-tumor immune responses and inhibit tumor-mediated immunosuppression. Unlike other isoforms of PI3K, the gamma isoform is overexpressed in certain tumor cell types and immune cells; its expression increases tumor cell proliferation and survival. By selectively targeting the gamma isoform, PI3K signaling in normal, non-neoplastic cells is minimally or not affected, which results in a reduced side effect profile.

Eganelisib has been investigated in 5 clinical trials, of which 5 are open and 0 are closed. Of the trials investigating eganelisib, 2 are phase 1 (2 open) and 3 are phase 2 (3 open).

ER Negative, ER No Expression, and HER2 Deficient Expression are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for eganelisib clinical trials.

Breast carcinoma, bladder urothelial carcinoma, and carcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in eganelisib clinical trials [2].
