TABLE 1

Current clinical trials with EP4 antagonists.

This table gives an overview of current clinical trials with EP4 antagonists in cancer. To identify clinical trials, a search was performed on clinicaltrials.gov with the keyword “Prostaglandin E2,” selecting for interventional studies and condition = cancer/neoplasm/tumor. In addition, searches were also performed with the names of all EP4 antagonists listed in the database https://www.guidetopharmacology.org, as well as EP4 antagonists found by searching the NCI Drug Dictionary: https://www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-drug. Abbreviations: NCI - National Cancer Institute, MSS - microsatellite stable, PD-1 - Programmed death 1, PD-L1 - Programmed Death 1 Ligand 1, NSCLC - Non small-cell lung cancer, DMARD - disease modifying antirheumatic drugs
