Recent Patent based perspective on diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in Malignant Mesothelioma: Is Drug Repositioning knocking the door?

Yadav, Vikas LU and Safari, Roghaiyeh (2021) In Recent Patent on Anti-Cancer Drug Discovery 16(2). p.187-203
Abstract
Background: Malignant Mesothelioma (MM), an orphan but aggressive malignancy of the mesothelial membrane, is a fatal tumor. Global epidemic related to malignant pleural mesothelioma is on the rise, so there is a need to explore novel biomarkers and ingenious therapeutic approaches to stalk this silent killer.

Objective: The main aim of the present review is to provide a consolidated overview of the recent active patents related to diagnosis and therapy in MM that will affect its future management.

Method: A search of existing literature was conducted from a PubMed database search. Recent patent information was fetched out from online accessible open-access databases. For related clinical trials, www.clinicaltrial.gov was... (More)
Background: Malignant Mesothelioma (MM), an orphan but aggressive malignancy of the mesothelial membrane, is a fatal tumor. Global epidemic related to malignant pleural mesothelioma is on the rise, so there is a need to explore novel biomarkers and ingenious therapeutic approaches to stalk this silent killer.

Objective: The main aim of the present review is to provide a consolidated overview of the recent active patents related to diagnosis and therapy in MM that will affect its future management.

Method: A search of existing literature was conducted from a PubMed database search. Recent patent information was fetched out from online accessible open-access databases. For related clinical trials, www.clinicaltrial.gov was searched.

Results: Patent search data showed 72 active patents related to diagnosis and therapy in the field of MM, which we classified into eight broad categories. Of these, a maximum of 17 patents was attributed to immunotherapy, and 13 each were attributed to "Drug Repositioning" and "Biological / synthetic" based candidates. The remaining 17 patents were distributed amongst virotherapy and various miscellaneous categories. A relatively low number of patents accounts for gene signature (7), epigenetics (3), and microRNA (2) based diagnosis and therapy. Furthermore, our clinical trial-based investigation revealed the futuristic impact of listed patents in MM patient management.

Conclusion: This review article has provided an overview of patent-based advancement in MM, which might become the apex in clinical settings in the future. Interestingly, immunotherapy and "drug repositioning" based therapy seems to be the front-runners in the race to provide relief. (Less)
