A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12011434B2) outlines a method for treating desmoid tumors in patients by orally administering 150 mg of nirogacestat or its salt twice daily. The method includes specific guidelines for managing adverse reactions such as hypokalemia, diarrhea, hypophosphatemia, and liver enzyme abnormalities. In cases of severe adverse reactions, treatment may be temporarily withheld or permanently discontinued based on the severity of the reaction. The patent also mentions considerations for patients with specific genetic mutations, prior treatment history, and tumor location.

Furthermore, the patent details the dosage adjustments and monitoring parameters for patients experiencing Grade 3 adverse events, ensuring that treatment is tailored to individual patient needs. The method emphasizes the importance of resolving adverse reactions to a manageable level before resuming treatment to maintain patient safety and efficacy. By providing a structured approach to managing treatment-related complications, the patent aims to optimize the therapeutic outcomes for patients with desmoid tumors, particularly in cases of refractory or recurrent disease. The patent also highlights the significance of monitoring key parameters like liver enzymes, electrolyte levels, and dermatologic reactions to ensure the safe and effective administration of nirogacestat for treating desmoid tumors.
