  • Publication number: 20210369679
    Abstract: Mebendazole is an antiparasitic drug with over 40 years of safe use. Recently mebendazole was repurposed for glioblastoma therapy. Three polymorphs of mebendazole exist, but the relative polymorph content for existing drugs varies, and the therapeutic anti-cancer relevance of the different polymorphs was unknown. As an oral drug mebendazole polymorph C is a superior form, and it reaches the brain and brain tumors in effective concentrations. Efficacy is further improved by combining mebendazole with a P-glycoprotein inhibitor. Mebendazole may also be used for therapy of other cancers, as well as a chemo-preventative agent.

  • Publication number: 20210369689
    Abstract: Relacorilant is useful in the treatment of hypercortisolism and cancer. Many drugs useful in treating hypercortisolism or cancer are metabolized by CYP2C9 enzymes. The effects of concomitant administration of relacorilant and a CYP2C9 substrate are disclosed herein. Relacorilant potently inhibited CYP2C9 in an in vitro test, indicating that co-administration of relacorilant and a CYP2C9 substrate would be expected to increase the CYP2C9 substrate plasma exposure more than five-fold in vivo. Significant reductions in CYP2C9 substrate doses would be expected to be required when administered with relacorilant. Surprisingly, no such increase in plasma exposure was seen in human studies. Applicant discloses that relacorilant may be safely co-administered with unmodified doses of a CYP2C9 substrate such as, e.g., tolbutamide, glimepiride, and glipizide.

    Abstract: Relacorilant is useful in the treatment of cancer and hypercortisolism. Many drugs useful in treating cancer or hypercortisolism are metabolized by CYP2C8 enzymes. The effects of concomitant administration of relacorilant and a CYP2C8 substrate are disclosed herein. Relacorilant potently inhibited CYP2C8 in an in vitro test, indicating that co-administration of relacorilant and a CYP2C8 substrate would be expected to increase the CYP2C8 substrate plasma exposure more than five-fold in vivo. Significant reductions in CYP2C8 substrate doses would be expected to be required when administered with relacorilant. Surprisingly, no such increase in plasma exposure was seen in human studies. Applicant discloses that relacorilant may be safely co-administered with unmodified doses of CYP2C8 substrates such as pioglitazone, rosiglitazone, and enzalutamide.

  • Publication number: 20210369700
    Abstract: Many drugs useful in treating cancer are metabolized by CYP2C8 enzymes, by CYP3A4 enzymes, or both. The effects of concomitant administration of relacorilant and paclitaxel, a drug used to treat cancer that is a substrate for both CYP2C8 and CYP3A4, are disclosed herein. Relacorilant potently inhibited CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 in in vitro tests, indicating that co-administration of relacorilant and paclitaxel would increase paclitaxel plasma exposure more than 5-fold in vivo, requiring significant reductions in paclitaxel doses when co-administering paclitaxel with relacorilant. Surprisingly, paclitaxel plasma exposure increased only by about 80% instead of the expected more than 5-fold increase expected with concomitant relacorilant and paclitaxel administration. Applicant discloses safe methods of co-administering relacorilant and paclitaxel by reducing the dose of paclitaxel to about half the paclitaxel dose used when paclitaxel is administered alone.
