HIF Inhibitors: Status of Current Clinical Development

Fallah, Jaleh, Rini, Brian I.·2019·Current Oncology Reports

Abstract

Purpose of review In this review, the importance of the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) pathway in tumorigenesis and cancer treatment outcomes will be discussed. The outcomes of phase II and III clinical trials of direct HIF inhibitors in the treatment of cancer will be reviewed.Recent findings The HIF signaling pathway is activated by tumor-induced hypoxia or by inactivating mutations of the VHL gene. HIF is a transcription factor which regulates the expression of genes involved in adjusting mechanisms to hypoxia such as angiogenesis or apoptosis as well as tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. The HIF pathway has a key role in development of resistance to different treatment modalities and higher expression of the HIF molecule is associated with poor prognosis. Clinical studies of the HIF inhibitors in patients with advanced/refractory cancers suggest benefit and warrant further studies of the HIF inhibitors either as a single agent or in combination with other therapeutic agents.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
