Glasdegib (PF-04449913) is an experimental cancer drug developed by Pfizer. It is a small molecule inhibitor of the Sonic hedgehog pathway, which is overexpressed in many types of cancer. It inhibits smoothened receptor, as do most drug in its class.[1]

Four phase II clinical trials are in progress. One is evaluating the efficacy of glasdegib in treating myelofibrosis in patients who were unable to control the disease with ruxolitinib.[2] Another is a combination trial of glasdenib with ARA-C, decitabine, daunorubicin, or cytarabine for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.[3] The third is for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.[4] The fourth administers glasdegib to patients at high risk for relapse after stem cell transplants in acute lymphoblastic or myelogenous leukemia.[5]
