OX40 Receptor Agonists – Pipeline Analysis 2019, Clinical Trials and Results, Patents, Designations, Collaborations, and Other Developments

Overview

OX40 receptor belongs to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, whose interactions play an important role in the development of various autoimmune diseases. OX40 interactions are one of the most important pathways that determine the scope of CD4 and CD8 (cluster of differentiation 4 and 8) T-cell immunity in several inflammatory conditions. OX40 interactions play a vital role in T cell immunity. OX40 is a co-stimulatory receptor that binds to OX40L, initiating a signaling cascade, which is required for the activation of T cells. OX40 agonists have the same effect as that of OX40L, which increases the OX40 signaling, thereby re-activating the anti-tumor immune response in cancer patients. OX40 receptor agonists along with other therapies have been effective in cancer patients.

Drug manufacturers are constantly working in the direction to obtain new treatment strategies by targeting OX40 receptor. Various companies are developing drug candidates using different technologies for the development of effective and better drugs, since there is no approved drug that targets OX40 receptors.

Positive clinical trial results and strategic advancements are expected to drive the OX40 receptor agonists pipeline. Moreover, the issuance of patents helps in achieving different milestones in the form of grants and designations from regulatory bodies and institutes, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), among others.
