Wnt Signaling Pathway Inhibitors - Pipeline Analysis 2018, Clinical Trials & Results, Patents, Designations, Collaborations, and Other Developments

Wnt Signaling Pathway Inhibitors - Pipeline Overview

Wnt or β-Catenin signaling pathway plays a key role in the development of pluripotent cells and embryonic development. The pathway regulates cell-to-cell interaction, activates blastocyst, accelerates trophoblast development, accelerate chorion-allantois fusion and implantation. However, the improper activation of the Wnt signaling pathway results in the development of cancer, tissue damage and degeneration. This makes it a very promising and attractive target for the development of anti-cancer therapies and pro-regeneration therapies.

A wide range of diseases, such as different types of cancer and degenerative diseases can be treated by deregulation of components involved in Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Researchers have also found the potential of this target in cardiovascular diseases however, it is yet to be tested in clinical studies.

A number of drug candidates in the Wnt signaling pathway inhibitors pipeline are being developed using proprietary technologies of the companies, which enable targeted and specific delivery of drugs. For instance, Samumed LLC’s proprietary technology is based on the ability to modulate the Wnt signaling pathway.

In addition, positive clinical trial results and strategic decisions of the company to collaborate with other companies and education institutions are also facilitating drug development in the pipeline. Furthermore, the issuance of patents helps in achieving different milestones in the form of grants and designations from the regulatory bodies and institutes including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) among others.
