Treatment of desmoid tumor with nirogacestat in specific dosages
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11925619B2) outlines a method for the therapeutic treatment of desmoid tumors in patients using nirogacestat or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt. The method involves administering an oral dosage of 150 mg of nirogacestat twice daily, with specific guidelines for adjusting the dosage based on liver enzyme levels. If the patient experiences elevated levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST), treatment should be temporarily withheld until levels return to normal, followed by a reduced dosage of 100 mg twice daily to resume treatment.
Furthermore, the patent claims that the administration of nirogacestat can lead to a reduction in the risk of disease progression, improvement in progression-free survival, and enhancements in objective response rate and quality of life assessments. The method also specifies that if the patient's ALT or AST levels exceed 5 times the upper limit of normal, treatment with nirogacestat should be permanently discontinued. Overall, this patent provides a detailed protocol for the effective and safe use of nirogacestat in the treatment of desmoid tumors, emphasizing the importance of monitoring liver enzyme levels to ensure patient safety and treatment efficacy.
