A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240009194A1) discloses a method for treating neuroepithelial tumors that express the glucocorticoid receptor (GR+) in a subject. The method involves administering a non-steroidal selective glucocorticoid receptor antagonist (SGRA) in an effective amount to reduce the tumor load of the GR+ neuroepithelial tumor. The tumors eligible for treatment include schwannoma, ependymoma, or neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF 2) neuroepithelial tumors. The SGRA can be a cyclohexyl pyrimidine compound or a fused azadecalin compound, among others. The method may involve administering the SGRA for at least two weeks at a daily dose ranging from 1 to 100 mg/kg/day, either alone or in combination with other therapies like chemotherapy or radiation.
Furthermore, the patent claims encompass variations in the administration of the nonsteroidal SGRA, allowing for flexibility in treatment duration ranging from 1 to 80 weeks. The dosage of the SGRA can be adjusted within the specified range to tailor the treatment to individual patients. The method aims to effectively reduce the tumor load of neuroepithelial tumors, including schwannoma, ependymoma, or NF 2 neuroepithelial tumors. By targeting the glucocorticoid receptor expressed in these tumors, the non-steroidal SGRA offers a potential therapeutic approach for patients with these specific types of neuroepithelial tumors. The patent provides a detailed framework for the administration of the SGRA, emphasizing the importance of reducing the tumor load in patients suffering from GR+ neuroepithelial tumors.
