With the evolution and expansion of research activities, many different proteins have been identified and targeted for their proven role in cancer development and progression. Among them is the STAT3 protein that whose importance in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, as well as in the suppression of the immune system have been demonstrated in a series of research studies. Inhibition of the protein has been hailed as one of the most viable cancer therapy method for its multipurpose role and has the potential to emerge as one of the most successful drug targets in the coming future. The increasing clinical and developmental pipelines provide hope for the same.

Among the drugs under investigation in clinical trials, TTI-101 developed by Tvardi Therapeutics has made the most headlines in recen year. The drug candidate was recently granted the fast track designation by the FDA for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Prior to this, it was also granted the orphan drug designation by the drug regulatory agency for the same indication, making it the most talked about STAT3 inhibitor in the global pipeline. The drug recently progressed into phase II of clinical trials for hepatocellular carcinoma and breast cancer. The drug is also important in reference to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) for which it has another orphan drug designation by the FDA.

Another candidate in the pipeline is Danvatirsen (IONIS-STAT3/AZD9150) created by Isis Pharmaceuticals (now Ionis Pharmaceuticals), who development license is has been now procured by AstraZeneca. To develop this candidate, Isis Pharma took a road less taken by utilizing an antisense oligonucleotide, which inhibits mRNA translation via RNA interference. IONIS-STAT3 was based on the FLAME discovery engine, a proprietary of Flamingo Therapeutics. Danvatirsen is now in the phase II of clinical trials for evaluating its application in advanced solid tumors including those in colorectal carcinoma, pancreatic cancer and lung cancer in combination with AstraZeneca’s PD-L1 inhibitor, Durvalumab.

Another drug relevant to discussion is napabucasin, which was granted the FDA orphan drug designation back in 2016. The drug was developed by Boston Biomedical and Sumitomo Pharma and is an orally available inhibitor of the STAT3 protein used for treatment of gastric cancer including gastroesophageal junction cancer.

The STAT3 inhibitors landscape has seen partnerships and collaborations to carry out the research and development of exploratory medications, just like all other cancer therapeutic domains. For example, as mentioned above, Ionis Pharmaceuticals and AstraZeneca worked on the development of IONIS-STAT3/AZD9150. Additionally, certain partnerships to conduct the clinical studies for these medications and treatments have come to light. To evaluate its lead candidate TTI-101, Tvardi Therapeutics is working together with the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in the US to hold a phase I/II clinical trial for treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. This trial is being conducted to test the safety and efficacy of the combination of STAT3 inhibition and anti-PD-1 therapy. 

Similarly, AstraZeneca is also conducting clinical trials for its candidate Danvatirsen in combination with Durvalumab, with the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and the National Cancer Institute (NCI). This phase II clinical trial seeks to investigate the efficacy of Danvatirsen and Durvalumab in the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and mismatch repair deficient colorectal cancer that has metastasized and is unresponsive to therapy. Danvatirsen can be used to stop the synthesis of proteins required for the development of malignant cells. Durvalumab, a monoclonal antibody used in immunotherapy, may aid the immune system in combating the disease and may hinder the growth and metastasis of tumor cells. Therefore, the synergic effect of the two drugs is expected to have more efficient anti-cancer effects.

STAT3 serves as a key signaling hub for tumor cells and TME-containing cells, particularly tumor-infiltrating immune cells, and is overly active in a variety of human malignancies. Therefore, it is anticipated that targeting STAT3 will have a number of advantages, positioning STAT3 as a possible and attractive target for treatment of cancer. STAT3 has been the subject of numerous attempts to develop and apply novel medications, although none have yet reached the market. The premise for the bright future of STAT3 inhibitors can be considered to be the existing pipeline, which contains numerous valuable drugs with designations from the FDA that bring out their potential in cancer treatment.
