Frequently asked questions about Liposomal Irinotecan

What is Liposomal Irinotecan used for in Esophageal Cancer?

Liposomal Irinotecan is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of esophageal cancer. It is currently in Phase 2 clinical development. The drug is being evaluated in a randomized, controlled trial to assess its efficacy and safety in patients with this condition.

What does Liposomal Irinotecan target?

Liposomal Irinotecan is a topoisomerase I inhibitor. It works by inhibiting the enzyme topoisomerase I, which is involved in DNA replication, thereby interfering with cancer cell growth and division. This mechanism is being studied in the context of esophageal cancer.

Who makes Liposomal Irinotecan?

Liposomal Irinotecan is being developed by Tango Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNGX). The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's potential as a treatment for esophageal cancer.

What phase is Liposomal Irinotecan in?

Liposomal Irinotecan is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. The ongoing Phase 2 trial is active but not recruiting participants.

What clinical trials is Liposomal Irinotecan in?

Liposomal Irinotecan is being studied in a Phase 2 clinical trial with the identifier NCT03764553. This trial, titled 'Liposomal iRInotecan, Carboplatin or oXaliplatin for Esophagogastric Cancer,' is a randomized, controlled study with an estimated enrollment of 320 participants. The trial is being conducted in the Netherlands.

Is Liposomal Irinotecan the same as Irinotecan?

Liposomal Irinotecan is a liposomal formulation of irinotecan, meaning the drug is encapsulated in liposomes to potentially alter its delivery and distribution in the body. While it contains the same active ingredient, the liposomal formulation distinguishes it from standard irinotecan.
