Eganelisib (also known as IPI-549) is an investigational drug that is being studied for its potential use in cancer treatment. It is a selective inhibitor of the PI3K-gamma enzyme, which plays a role in the immune system and tumor microenvironment.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

Eganelisib works by inhibiting the PI3K-gamma enzyme, which is involved in the regulation of immune cell activity within the tumor microenvironment. By targeting this enzyme, Eganelisib aims to modulate the immune response to enhance the body's ability to fight cancer.

Clinical Trials[edit | edit source]

Eganelisib is currently undergoing clinical trials to evaluate its safety and efficacy in combination with other cancer therapies. These trials are exploring its use in various types of cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma.

Research and Development[edit | edit source]

Eganelisib is being developed by Infinity Pharmaceuticals, a company focused on the development of novel cancer therapies. The drug is part of a broader effort to develop targeted therapies that can improve outcomes for patients with cancer.
