ical Evid vidence
− RNF43 LoF mutations and RSPO fusions both result in increased Fzd receptor in the cell surface of the tumour cell and a greater dependence on Wnt ligand for survival − Human tumour cell lines with RNF43 LoF mutation and RSPO fusions have been shown to be sensitive to porcupine inhibitors, in both in vitro and in vivo preclinical models (Jiang et al. 2013; Li et al. 2018; Redx Pharma in-house models) − Sensitivity to porcupine inhibition is maintained even in the presence of MAPK pathway mutations (e.g. KRAS, BRAF) which

Published data demonstrates tolerability, target engagement, and signs of efficacy from the class
Currently 5 porcupine inhibitors (PORCNi) are in ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trials for oncology indications. Data has been reported from POR ORCNi i WNT9 NT974 (No (Novartis is) ) and ET ETC1 C159 (A*S (A*STAR) ) from >120 patients, over multiple treatment cycles1,2,3 :

− MTD was not reached with WNT974 and dysgeusia (impaired taste) was reported as the main AE − ETC159 resulted in bone effects and fractures at highest test dose. However after instilling bone protection plan (use of prophylactic denosumab), no further fractures were reported − WNT974 + anti-PD1 showed that AEs were largely consistent with those observed during treatment with either single agent
