Clinical Trials

A combined Phase 1/Phase 2 clinical trial sponsored by industry partner Eluciderm Inc is actively recruiting participants to evaluate ELU42, a topical formulation of XAV-939, in patients with chronic open wounds, specifically Wagner Grade 1 and Grade 2 diabetic foot ulcers. The study aims to determine the early-stage safety profile and therapeutic potential of localized tankyrase inhibition and Wnt pathway modulation in promoting tissue repair within impaired wound environments.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

XAV-939 selectively binds to and inhibits tankyrase 1 and tankyrase 2, thereby blocking the poly-ADP-ribosylation and ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated degradation of the axin protein. The resulting stabilization of axin promotes beta-catenin degradation to suppress Wnt/beta-catenin-mediated gene transcription, providing a mechanistic foundation for modulating cellular responses in chronic open wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
