Abstract
Nirogacestat (OGSIVEO™) is an oral, selective, reversible, small molecule γ-secretase inhibitor developed by SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc. γ-Secretase is a multi-subunit protease complex that cleaves multiple transmembrane protein complexes, including Notch and membrane-bound B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA). Inhibition of γ-secretase may result in growth inhibition of tumour cells overexpressing Notch, and preservation of membrane-bound BCMA may increase target density for BCMA-targeted therapy. In November 2023, nirogacestat was approved in the USA for use in adult patients with progressing desmoid tumours who require systemic treatment. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of nirogacestat leading to this first approval for the systemic treatment of desmoid tumours.
期刊介绍：
Drugs is a journal that aims to enhance pharmacotherapy by publishing review and original research articles on key aspects of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics. The journal includes:
Leading/current opinion articles providing an overview of contentious or emerging issues.
Definitive reviews of drugs and drug classes, and their place in disease management.
Therapy in Practice articles including recommendations for specific clinical situations.
High-quality, well designed, original clinical research.
Adis Drug Evaluations reviewing the properties and place in therapy of both newer and established drugs.
AdisInsight Reports summarising development at first global approval.
Moreover, the journal offers additional digital features such as animated abstracts, video abstracts, instructional videos, and podcasts to increase visibility and educational value. Plain language summaries accompany articles to assist readers with some knowledge of the field in understanding important medical advances.
