Pfizer · FDA-approved active Quality 52/100

PF-04171327 is a nonsteroidal but steroid-like selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator (SGRM).

PF-04171327, a nonsteroidal selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator by Pfizer, holds a unique market position with 97 approved indications, though it has not yet reached the clinical trial phase. Its competitive advantage lies in its steroid-like efficacy without the severe side effects associated with full glucocorticoid receptor agonists like Prednisolone and Prednisone. A key risk is the requirement for a PD-L1 companion diagnostic for several indications, which may limit its broader application and market accessibility. The pipeline outlook remains promising with the development of PF-00251802, a selective high-affinity partial agonist of the glucocorticoid receptor and a prodrug of PF-04171327, potentially enhancing its therapeutic profile.

Mechanism of action

PF-04171327 is a nonsteroidal but steroid-like selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator (SGRM). This means it works by modulating the glucocorticoid receptor, which is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating inflammation and immune responses. By selectively modulating this receptor, PF-04171327 can provide a therapeutic effect without the side effects associated with traditional steroids.
