Cilengitide is a molecule designed and synthesized at the Technical University Munich in collaboration with Merck KGaA in Darmstadt. It is based on the cyclic peptide cyclo(-RGDfV-), which is selective for αv integrins, which are important in angiogenesis (forming new blood vessels), and other aspects of tumor biology. Hence, it is under investigation for the treatment of glioblastoma, where it may act by inhibiting angiogenesis, and influencing tumor invasion and proliferation.[1][2]
The European Medicines Agency has granted cilengitide orphan drug status.[3]
Cilengitide recently (March 2013) failed to achieve its primary endpoint in a pivotal phase 3 clinical trial for glioblastoma (the CENTRIC trial), and despite some encouraging phase 2 data, the clinical development of the drug in oncology has stopped. Details of the trial results are expected during 2014.
