Desmoid Tumors: Understanding
Desmoid Tumors: Overview
Desmoid tumors is an abnormal growth that arises from connective tissue. “Desmoid comes from the Greek word desmos, which means tendon or band-like. These are also known as aggressive fibromatosis or desmoid-type fibromatosis. Desmoid tumors often appear as infiltrative, usually well-differentiated, firm overgrowths of fibrous tissue, and they are locally aggressive. Desmoid tumors can occur in any part of body but most often occur in the abdomen, arms and legs. These are generally not considered cancerous (malignant) because they do not spread to other parts of the body (metastasize); however, they can aggressively invade the surrounding tissue and can be very difficult to remove surgically. Desmoid tumors occur frequently in people with an inherited form of colon cancer called familial adenomatous polyposis.Symptoms
The symptoms of Desmoid Tumors include:
- A mass or area of swelling
- Pain
- Loss of function in the affected area
- Pain and obstruction of the bowels
- Cramping and nausea, when desmoid tumors occur in the abdomen
A diagnosis of Desmoid Tumors is based upon a thorough physical examination and specialized tests. Test like imaging tests, such as CT and MRI are done. Biopsy is done to make a definitive diagnosis. Antibodies are often examined in desmoid tumors, including smooth muscle actin, desmin and KIT, to aid in distinguishing them from other tumors.
Treatment
Some desmoid tumors are slow growing and don't require immediate treatment. Others that grow quickly are treated with surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy including anticancer drugs, cryoablation or through combinatorial therapy. Anti-inflammatory drugs may cause the tumor to slowly shrink. Chemotherapy agents used to inhibit growth include Doxorubicin (Adriamycin, Rubex), Dacarabazine (DTIC-Dome) and Carboplatin (Paraplatin). Gleevec and Sorafenib are the two kinase inhibitors that are useful in treating desmoid tumors.

Report Highlights
The companies and academics are working to assess challenges and seek opportunities that could influence Desmoid Tumors R&D. The therapies under development are focused on novel approaches to treat/improve Desmoid Tumors.Desmoid Tumors Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the Desmoid Tumors report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase III, II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.Desmoid Tumors Emerging Drugs
Nirogacestat: Spring Works Therapeutics Nirogacestat is an oral, selective, small molecule, gamma secretase inhibitor. It is currently in NDA phase of clinical development for patients with desmoid tumors. Desmoid tumors are rare and often debilitating and disfiguring soft tissue tumors for which there are currently no FDA-approved therapies. SpringWorks has a New Drug Application (NDA) under review by the FDA for nirogacestat for the treatment of adults with desmoid tumors, which is being reviewed under the FDA’s Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR) program. Nirogacestat has received Orphan Drug Designation, Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy Designations for thisindication.Tegavivint: Iterion Therapeutics Tegavivint is a potent and selective inhibitor of nuclear ß-catenin that binds to TBL1 (Transducin ßeta-like Protein One). This enables specific silencing of Wnt-pathway oncogenic gene expression without affecting other necessary cellular functions and thus avoids toxicity issues common to other drugs in this pathway. Tegavivint is currently in Phase IIa clinical trial in progressive desmoid tumors after establishing safety and initial clinical efficacy in Phase I study.
