Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Inhibitors Pipeline - Clinical Trials & Results, Collaboration and Developments

The PI3K inhibitors pipeline analysis report covers approximately 37 active drug candidates in different stages of development.
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3K) are lipid kinases that are involved in cell regulation, including cell survival, proliferation and differentiation. They act as intermediate molecules in PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway by sending chemical messengers from cell surface to cytoplasm. These signals activate multiple effector kinase pathways, resulting in survival and growth of normal cells. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases is categorized on the basis of classes as class I, II and III, on the basis of structure of the PI3K, based on the specificities of the substrate as well as on the basis of lipid end-product’s nature. Bases on structure, Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases has four different forms PI3K alpha, PI3K beta, PI3K gamma and PI3K delta.

In March 2017, Bayer AG presented clinical results of Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-targeting drug candidate Copanlisib in Phase II CHRONOS-1 trial, evaluating patients with relapsed or refractory indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (iNHL), trial with NCT ID 01660451. The results across all patient groups showed an objective response rate (ORR) of 59.2%, with a 12% complete response (CR) rate and a median duration of response (DOR) of more than 98 weeks, or 687 days (range 0-687).

The research found that different companies engaged in manufacturing of PI3K inhibitors are collaborating. One of the collaborations occurred in November 2016 between Verastem, Inc. and Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
The major players for PI3K inhibitors pipeline include, but are not limited to, Novartis AG, Genentech, Inc., SignalRX Pharmaceuticals Inc. and others.

Innovating Technologies Offer Development of Novel Therapies

The study analysed that the Synovial sarcoma pipeline comprises of 22 drug candidates in different stages of development. Synovial sarcoma is rare type of cancer and approximately one to three people in one million people are diagnosed with synovial sarcoma every year, globally. The disease occurs frequently in young adults; however, the disease can affect a person at any age. Synovial sarcoma is more common in males, and the male to female ratio of the disease stands at 12 males for every 10 females. Various new therapies and advanced technologies are driving the growth of Synovial sarcoma pipeline.

Many technologies such as REOLYSIN technology, ZVex and GLAAS technology, Laser Micro-beam Microdissection are being developed that can bring the innovative treatment, which can control the progression of Synovial sarcoma.  ZVex and GLAAS are complementary discovery platforms designed to activate and expand the immune system’s natural ability to create tumour-specific cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) in vivo.
The research also found that various companies have collaborated for the development of Synovial sarcoma pipeline. In February 2014, Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer) and Merck & Co., Inc. (Merck) agreed to explore the therapeutic potential of Merck’s investigational anti-PD-1 therapy, MK-3475, in combination with two of the Pfizer’s oncology assets.
Some of the key players developing drugs for Synovial sarcoma include Takara Bio Inc., Oncolytics Biotech Inc., Accuronix Therapeutics, Inc., Cue Biopharma, Inc. and others.

Diabetic Foot Ulcer Therapeutics Pipeline - Clinical Trials & Results, Collaboration and Developments

The study analysed that the diabetic foot ulcer pipeline comprises of approximately 27 drug candidates in different stages of development.

Diabetic foot ulcer is a serious complication of diabetes and can be defined as the ulceration in foot along with neuropathy or peripheral artery disease of the lower limb in diabetic patients. Diabetic foot ulcer is categorized into two types namely; neuropathic foot where neuropathy dominates and neuroischemic foot where occlusive vascular disease is the main factor. Diabetic neuropathy, peripheral artery disease and consequent trauma of the foot are the major risk factors for diabetic foot ulcer. The motor and sensory nerve damage can caus muscle weakness, paresis and atrophy in diabetic patients. Diabetic foot ulcer can be assessed by physical examination of the skin for the vascular, neurological, and musculoskeletal systems. Additionally, this examination also involves the assessment of perception of superficial pain, and temperature. Neuropathic disability score is assessed to evaluate the risk of occurrence of neuropathic ulceration.


Most of the innovations in technology have been producing novel therapies for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer. NOx is an advanced wound care technology invented by Edixomed Ltd, that provides the important moist environment, which aids in healing and absorbs wound exudate that generates nitric oxide.

Significant growth in the therapeutic pipeline of diabetic foot ulcer is attributed to increasing collaboration between educational institutes, associations and pharma companies as well as biotech companies. For instance, i March 2016, Microbion Corporation entered into an agreement with Haisco Pharmaceutical Group to develop and commercialize Microbion’s drug candidate for the treatment of chronic wounds in China and related territories.


Some of the key players developing drugs for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer include Lakewood Amedex, Inc., Edixomed Ltd., CardioVascular BioTherapeutics Inc. and others.
