Clinical Trials

Multiple Phase 2 clinical trials, sponsored by Xenetic Biosciences, Inc. and Kevelt AS, have evaluated cridanimod alongside progestin therapy for endometrial cancer and recurrent or persistent endometrial carcinoma. Comprising a terminated trial and a trial with unknown recruitment status, these studies assess cridanimod as a potential therapeutic strategy for advanced or treatment-refractory endometrial malignancies.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Cridanimod binds to and activates the intracellular signaling protein stimulator of interferon genes (STING), thereby triggering downstream TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) signaling to induce the synthesis of type I interferons, including interferon-alpha and interferon-beta. This immune activation enhances anti-tumor activity and host surveillance, offering therapeutic relevance for the treatment of endometrial cancer and recurrent or persistent endometrial carcinoma.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
