Neurofirbromatosis Understanding

Neurofirbromatosis: Overview

Neurofibromatosis (NF) is one of the most common genetic disorders. Inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, this phacomatosis is classified into two genetically distinct subtypes characterized by multiple cutaneous lesions and tumors of the peripheral and central nervous system. Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also referred to as Recklinghausen's disease, affects about 1 in 3500 individuals and presents with a variety of characteristic abnormalities of the skin and the peripheral nervous system. Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), previously termed central neurofibromatosis, is much more rare occurring in less than 1 in 25 000 individuals. Often first clinical signs of NF2 become apparent in the late teens with a sudden loss of hearing due to the development of bi-or unilateral vestibular schwannomas. In addition NF2 patients may suffer from further nervous tissue tumors such as meningiomas or gliomas.

"Neurofibromatosis - Pipeline Insight, 2023" report by DelveInsight outlays comprehensive insights of present scenario and growth prospects across the indication. A detailed picture of the Neurofibromatosis pipeline landscape is provided which includes the disease overview and Neurofibromatosis treatment guidelines. The assessment part of the report embraces, in depth Neurofibromatosis commercial assessment and clinical assessment of the pipeline products under development.

It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Neurofibromatosis Emerging Drugs

NFX-179: NFlection Therapeutics

NFlection is developing a topical gel containing NFX-179, a proprietary “soft” (metabolically labile) MEK inhibitor for the reduction of tumor burden of persistently developing cutaneous neurofibromas (cNF) in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). NFlection has developed an esthetically pleasing and well-tolerated topical formulation of the MEK inhibitor NFX-179 to treat cNFs. NFX-179 has been tested on human cNF explants and has demonstrated dose-dependent suppression of p-ERK, a biomarker of Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway activation. The NFX-179 gel formulation can penetrate into the dermis of the skin to locally deliver the MEK inhibitor to the cNF and inhibit the overactive RAS pathway in the tumor. NFX-179 rapidly degrades upon reaching systemic circulation to minimize the side effects caused by systemic exposure to MEK inhibitors.

Mirdametinib: SpringWorks Therapeutics

Mirdametinib is an oral, small molecule MEK inhibitor in development as a monotherapy treatment for neurofibromatosis type 1‑associated plexiform neurofibromas, or NF1‑PN, and as a combination therapy for the treatment biomarker defined metastatic cancers with mutations in the MAPK pathway, such as in RAS and RAF. Mirdametinib is designed to inhibit MEK1 and MEK2. MEK proteins occupy a pivotal position in the MAPK pathway, which is a key signaling network that regulates cell growth and survival, and that plays a central role in multiple oncology and rare disease indications. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Commission granted Orphan Drug designation for mirdametinib for the treatment of NF1, and the FDA granted Fast Track designation for the treatment of patients ≥ 2 years of age with NF1-PN that are progressing or causing significant morbidity.

Brigatinib: Takeda

Brigitanib acts as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with activity against multiple kinases including ALK, ROS1, and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor and against EGFR deletions and point mutations. It acts by inhibiting ALK phosphorylation and the activation of downstream signaling proteins. It presents selectivity against the mutant forms of EGFR compared to the wild-type. It also exhibits selectivity against 9 different Crizotinib-resistant mutants of the EML4-ALK fusion gene, which is a pivotal player in the transformation of susceptible lung parenchyma. Brigatinib was developed by Ariad Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, and FDA-approved on April 28, 2017. It is currently being evaluated in Phase II stage of development for the treatment of Neurofibromatosis Type II.
