Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd Rationale Entrectinib (RO7102122, previously known as RXDX-101) is a potent inhibitor of the tyrosine kinases TrkA (encoded by the gene NTRK1), TrkB (encoded by the gene NTRK2), TrkC (encoded by the gene NTRK3), ROS1 (encoded by the gene ROS1), and ALK (encoded by the gene ALK), with IC50 values for kinase inhibition in the low nanomolar range (1.7, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2, and 1.6 nM, respectively). While these enzymes play various roles in normal cellular function, gene rearrangements (fusions) in these target kinases have the potential to be oncogenic drivers, tend to be mutually exclusive, and are present in small percentages (< 10%; Vaishnavi et al., 2015) in a variety of tumor types, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer (CRC), salivary gland cancer, papillary thyroid cancer, melanoma, and sarcoma. As such, in the two Phase 1 clinical studies (Study GO40783 [ALKA- 372-001] and Study GO40784 [STARTRK-1]) that were conducted to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of entrectinib, patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors were enrolled irrespective of tumor type. Among 18 ALK-, ROS1-, or Trk-inhibitor- naïve patients (1 patient was ALK-inhibitor intolerant) with NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK gene rearrangements who were treated at or above the RP2D, a response rate of 72% (13/18; Siena et al., ECC 2015) was reported. Furthermore, when subset by molecular alteration and tumor type where antitumor activity was observed, these data suggest that patients with NSCLC, metastatic CRC (mCRC), renal cell carcinoma, melanoma, and salivary gland cancers that harbor NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK gene rearrangements may potentially benefit from treatment with entrectinib. Entrectinib—F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd 4/Protocol GO40782 (RXDX-101-02), Version 5 In light of the potentially favorable preliminary benefit-risk profile for entrectinib combined with the low incidence of the targeted gene rearrangements and their presence across a variety of tumor types, this Phase 2 study was designed to demonstrate the efficacy of entrectinib by enrolling patients with any solid tumor that harbors NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK gene rearrangements, for whom no alternative effective standard therapy is available. Patients will be enrolled across multiple solid tumor “baskets” that will be individually analyzed as separate cohorts. Study Design This is an open-label, multicenter, global Phase 2 basket study of entrectinib for the treatment of patients with solid tumors that harbor an NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK gene rearrangement. NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 gene rearrangements will be treated as a combined NTRK1/2/3 gene rearrangement basket. An overview of the study design is provided in Figure 2 of the main protocol. In order to determine enrollment eligibility and assignment to a specific basket, patients will be screened for gene rearrangements at Foundation Medicine, Inc. laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. Alternatively, local testing using any nucleic acid-based diagnostic testing method that relies on direct assessment of gene rearrangements and is performed at a CLIA-certified or equivalently- accredited diagnostic laboratory will be accepted. Depending on each particular patient population basket, prior treatment will be allowed; however, prior treatment with Trk, ROS1, or ALK inhibitors (approved or investigational) will not be allowed in patients who have tumors that harbor those respective gene rearrangements, e.g., no prior ROS1-inhibitors will be allowed in patients with ROS1 gene rearrangements. The single exception is for patients with ALK- or ROS1-rearranged NSCLC who have been previously treated with crizotinib and have CNS-only progression. Note: The ALK-rearranged NSCLC basket for patients previously treated with crizotinib and presenting with CNS-only progression is closed for further enrollment. Entrectinib will be administered orally on a continuous daily dosing regimen, at a dose of 600 mg once-daily in repeated 4-week cycles. Safety will be assessed by monitoring of adverse events, clinical laboratory tests (hematology, biochemistry, coagulation, lipid panel, and urinalysis), and physician visits, including physical examination, eye exam, vital signs, and ECGs. Tumor assessments (computed tomography [CT] or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) of the chest, abdomen, pelvis (depending on tumor type), plus bone and/or brain as applicable, will be performed at the end of Cycle 1 and every 8 weeks thereafter. All CT and MRI scans will be read by a central independent imaging laboratory using the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 and the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Criteria (RANO) or RANO- Brain Metastases (RANO-BM), as applicable for patients with primary or secondary CNS disease, respectively. Patients will be followed for safety and efficacy as per the schedule of assessments and will remain on study treatment until documented Entrectinib—F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd 5/Protocol

    Entrectinib (interim monograph) DRUG NAME: Entrectinib SYNONYM(S): RXDX-1011, NMS-E6282 COMMON TRADE NAME(S): ROZLYTREK® CLASSIFICATION: molecular targeted therapy Special pediatric considerations are noted when applicable, otherwise adult provisions apply. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Entrectinib is an orally administered, small molecule, multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor which targets tropomyosin- related kinase (Trk) proteins TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC, proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase ROS (ROS1) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC are receptor tyrosine kinases encoded by the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) genes NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3, respectively. Fusion proteins that include Trk, ROS1, or ALK kinase domains drive tumorigenic potential through hyperactivation of downstream signalling pathways leading to unconstrained cell proliferation. By potently inhibiting the Trk kinases, ROS1, and ALK, entrectinib inhibits downstream signalling pathways, cell proliferation and induces tumour cell apoptosis.3-5 PHARMACOKINETICS: Oral Absorption bioavailability = 55%; Tmax = 4-6 hours; Tmax delayed 2 h by high-fat, high-calorie food intake Distribution highly bound to human plasma proteins cross blood brain barrier? yes volume of distribution 551 L (entrectinib); 81.1 L (M5) plasma protein binding >99% (entrectinib and M5) Metabolism primarily metabolized by CYP 3A4 active metabolite(s) M5 inactive metabolite(s) M11 Excretion primarily via hepatic clearance urine 3.06% feces 82.9% (36% as unchanged entrectinib, 22% as M5) terminal half life 20 h (entrectinib); 40 h (M5) clearance 19.6 L/h (entrectinib); 52.4 L/h (M5) Elderly no clinically significant difference Children comparable pharmacokinetics of entrectinib and M5 in adults and children Ethnicity no clinically significant difference Adapted from standard reference3,4 unless specified otherwise.

  • TRK Inhibitors: Tissue-Agnostic Anti-Cancer Drugs
    pharmaceuticals Review TRK Inhibitors: Tissue-Agnostic Anti-Cancer Drugs Sun-Young Han Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and College of Pharmacy, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju-si 52828, Korea; [email protected] Abstract: Recently, two tropomycin receptor kinase (Trk) inhibitors, larotrectinib and entrectinib, have been approved for Trk fusion-positive cancer patients. Clinical trials for larotrectinib and entrectinib were performed with patients selected based on the presence of Trk fusion, regardless of cancer type. This unique approach, called tissue-agnostic development, expedited the process of Trk inhibitor development. In the present review, the development processes of larotrectinib and entrectinib have been described, along with discussion on other Trk inhibitors currently in clinical trials. The on-target effects of Trk inhibitors in Trk signaling exhibit adverse effects on the central nervous system, such as withdrawal pain, weight gain, and dizziness. A next generation sequencing-based method has been approved for companion diagnostics of larotrectinib, which can detect various types of Trk fusions in tumor samples. With the adoption of the tissue-agnostic approach, the development of Trk inhibitors has been accelerated. Keywords: Trk; NTRK; tissue-agnostic; larotrectinib; entrectinib; Trk fusion 1.

A patient with metastatic colorectal cancer harboring an LMNA–NTRK1 rearrangement displayed a remarkable response to treatment with entrectinib, which was followed by the emergence of resistance. To characterize the molecular bases of the patient’s relapse, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) was collected longitudinally during treatment, and a tissue biopsy, obtained before entrectinib treatment, was transplanted in mice (xenopatient), which then received the same entrectinib regimen until resistance developed. Genetic profi ling of ctDNA and xenopatient samples showed acquisition of two point mutations in the catalytic domain of NTRK1 , p.G595R and p.G667C. Biochemical and pharmacologic analysis in multiple preclini- cal models confi rmed that either mutation renders the TRKA kinase insensitive to entrectinib. These fi ndings can be immediately exploited to design next-generation TRKA inhibitors. SIGNIFICANCE: We provide proof of principle that analyses of xenopatients (avatar) and liquid biopsies allow the identifi cation of drug resistance mechanisms in parallel with clinical treatment of an individual patient.

  • Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors for Solid Tumors in the Past 20 Years (2001–2020) Liling Huang†, Shiyu Jiang† and Yuankai Shi*
    Huang et al. J Hematol Oncol (2020) 13:143 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13045-020-00977-0 REVIEW Open Access Tyrosine kinase inhibitors for solid tumors in the past 20 years (2001–2020) Liling Huang†, Shiyu Jiang† and Yuankai Shi* Abstract Tyrosine kinases are implicated in tumorigenesis and progression, and have emerged as major targets for drug discovery. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) inhibit corresponding kinases from phosphorylating tyrosine residues of their substrates and then block the activation of downstream signaling pathways. Over the past 20 years, multiple robust and well-tolerated TKIs with single or multiple targets including EGFR, ALK, ROS1, HER2, NTRK, VEGFR, RET, MET, MEK, FGFR, PDGFR, and KIT have been developed, contributing to the realization of precision cancer medicine based on individual patient’s genetic alteration features. TKIs have dramatically improved patients’ survival and quality of life, and shifted treatment paradigm of various solid tumors. In this article, we summarized the developing history of TKIs for treatment of solid tumors, aiming to provide up-to-date evidence for clinical decision-making and insight for future studies.

During the last two decades, several molecules targeting RTKs were used in oncology as a first or second line therapy in different types of cancer. However, their effectiveness is limited by the appearance of resistance or adverse effects. In this review, we summarize the main features of RTKs and their inhibitors (RTKIs), their current use in oncology, and mechanisms of resistance. We also describe the technological advances of artificial intelligence, chemoproteomics, and microfluidics in elaborating powerful strategies that could be used in providing more efficient and selective small molecules inhibitors of RTKs.

  • Kinase Drug Discovery 20 Years After Imatinib: Progress and Future Directions
    REVIEWS Kinase drug discovery 20 years after imatinib: progress and future directions Philip Cohen 1 ✉ , Darren Cross 2 ✉ and Pasi A. Jänne 3 ✉ Abstract | Protein kinases regulate nearly all aspects of cell life, and alterations in their expression, or mutations in their genes, cause cancer and other diseases. Here, we review the remarkable progress made over the past 20 years in improving the potency and specificity of small-molecule inhibitors of protein and lipid kinases, resulting in the approval of more than 70 new drugs since imatinib was approved in 2001. These compounds have had a significant impact on the way in which we now treat cancers and non- cancerous conditions. We discuss how the challenge of drug resistance to kinase inhibitors is being met and the future of kinase drug discovery.
