RO4929097 (RG-4733) is a gamma secretase inhibitor being studied as an anti-cancer drug.^[1] Targeting gamma secretase inhibits NOTCH signaling, which is upregulated in many forms of cancer.^[2] The drug was initially developed by Roche for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, but current research focuses on cancer.^[3] Production was halted in 2010, but began again in 2014.^[4]

Research[edit]

Over 35 phase I and II clinical trials have been performed, but no phase III trials have yet commenced.^[5] Phase II studies have investigated the use of RO4929097 in ovarian cancer,^[6] renal cell carcinoma in patients that were unsuccessful on anti-VEGF treatments,^[7] metastatic pancreatic cancer,^[8] advanced brain tumors,^[9] and relapsed non-small cell lung cancer.^[10]

Other planned clinical trials were terminated, because the drug became unavailable.^[11]
