Background/objectivesPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a highly lethal disease with increasing incidence. Due to high resistance, chemo/radiotherapy has limited success in pancreatic cancer and only marginally prolongs patient survival. Therefore, novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets are needed. In the present review, we performed a comprehensive summary of therapeutic approaches targeting the GP130/JAK/STAT3 pathway.MethodsWe systematically reviewed the PubMed and Embase databases for preclinical and clinical studies, from inception to October 4, 2020, on drugs targeting the GP130/JAK/STAT3 pathway. Bias assessments and qualitative analyses were performed.ResultsTwenty-five preclinical and nine clinical trials were included in the review. All preclinical studies reported a favorable outcome in terms of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma progression. Futhermore, drugs targeting the GP130/JAK/STAT3 pathway were shown to be efficient chemosensitizers. However, high publication bias was assumed. In the clinical setting, bazedoxifene and itacitinib improved patient outcomes.ConclusionPreclinical studies strongly suggest significant efficacy of drugs targeting GP130/JAK/STAT3 in the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and that these molecules are effective chemosensitizers. Though only a few trials have shown the efficacy in a clinical setting, the STAT3 pathway remains a promising drug target for future treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and may help overcome chemotherapy resistance. |
