Loxo Oncology Inc. submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) 213246 for selpercatinib with the proposed indications for the treatment of x Adult patients with metastatic rearranged during transfection (RET) fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). x Adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with advanced or metastatic RET-mutant medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) who require systemic therapy. x Adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with advanced or metastatic RET fusion- positive thyroid cancer who requires systemic therapy and who are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate) These indications are proposed for approval under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response. If approved, the continued approval for these indications may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials. The risks associated with selpercatinib include hepatotoxicity, hypertension, QT interval prolongation, hemorrhagic events, hypersensitivity, risk of impaired wound healing, and embryo-fetal toxicity. The applicant did not submit a proposed REMS or risk management plan with this application. The Division of Risk Management (DRM) and the Division of Oncology 2 (DO2) agree that a REMS is not needed to ensure the benefits of selpercatinib outweigh its risks. There are no FDA approved therapies specifically for RET fusion positive or mutation positive cancers. Metastatic NSCLC, advanced/metastatic MTC, and advanced thyroid cancer are life-threatening conditions with poor survival. The significant overall response rate and durability of these responses to selpercatinib establish the clinical benefit in this population with unmet need. The clinical reviewer believes the risks associated with selpercatinib are manageable with dose reduction, interruption, or discontinuance, and these risks can be adequately handled with the labeling alone. This reviewer recommends that, if selpercatinib is approved, a REMS is not needed to ensure its benefits outweigh its risks. Hepatotoxicity, hypertension, QT interval prolongation, hemorrhagic events, hypersensitivity, risk of impaired wound healing, and embryo-fetal toxicity can be communicated in Section 5 Warnings and Precautions, as well as instructions how to withhold, reduce dose, and discontinue therapy in Section 2 Dosage and Administration. At the time of this review, none the previously mentioned risks were included in a boxed warning. 3 Reference ID: 4595591 1 Introduction This review evaluates whether a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) for the new molecular entity (NME)a Retevmo (selpercatinib) is necessary to ensure the benefits outweigh its risks. Loxo Oncology Inc. submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) 213246 for selpercatinib with the proposed indication for the treatment of x Adult patients with metastatic rearranged during transfection (RET) fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). x Adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with advanced or metastatic RET-mutant medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) who require systemic therapy. x Adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with advanced or metastatic RET fusion positive thyroid cancer who requires systemic therapy and who are radioactive iodine refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate) These indications are proposed for approval under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response. If approved, continued approval for these indications may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials. This application is under review in the Division of Oncology 2 (DO2). The applicant did not submit a proposed REMS or risk management plan with this application. 2Background 2.1 PRODUCT INFORMATION Selpercatinib is a small molecule kinase inhibitor. In enzyme assays, selpercatinib inhibited wild type of RET and multiple mutant RET isoforms, as well as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR1) and VEGFR3 at clinically relevant concentrations. RET gene is a known proto-oncogene. Oncogenic activation can occur via mutation or rearrangement.1 RET alternations have been implicated to be human cancer drivers. In NSCLS, RET rearrangements occur in 1% to 2% of unselected cases. In in vitro and in vivo tumor models, selpercatinib exhibited anti-tumor activity in cells harboring activation of RET protein resulting from gene fusions and mutations. Selpercatinib is available as 40 mg and 80 mg capsules. The recommended dose is 160 mg taken orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.b Selpercatinib is not currently approved in any jurisdiction. 2.2 REGULATORY HISTORY a Section 505-1 (a) of the FD&C Act: FDAAA factor (F): Whether the drug is a new molecular entity. b Section 505-1 (a) of the FD&C Act: FDAAA factor (D): The expected or actual duration of treatment with the drug. 4 Reference ID: 4595591 The following is a summary of the regulatory history for NDA 213246 relevant to this review: x March 2017: IND 133193 submitted. x August 2018: Breakthrough therapy designation granted for RET fusion positive NSCLC and for RET mutant MTC x October 2018: Breakthrough therapy designation granted for RET fusion positive thyroid cancer x December 2019: NDA 213246 submission received. x 02/26/2020: A Post Mid-cycle meeting was held between the Agency and the Applicant via teleconference.

  • Entrectinib (Interim Monograph)
    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.

  • Selpercatinib LOXO-292 LY3527723
    Selpercatinib LOXO-292 LY3527723 RET INHIBITOR Selpercatinib, LOXO-292, LY3527723 | RET INHIBITOR Target Rearranged during transfection (RET) fusions have been identified in approximately 2% of non-small cell lung cancer,2,3 10% to 20% of papillary thyroid cancer,4,5 and a subset of colon and other cancers.6-8 RET point mutations account for approximately 60% of medullary thyroid cancer.9-11 Cancers that harbor activating RET fusions or RET mutations depend primarily on this single constitutively activated kinase for their proliferation and survival. This dependency renders such tumors highly susceptible to small-molecule inhibitors targeting RET. Molecule Selpercatinib (LOXO-292, LY3527723) is a highly selective, potent, CNS-active small-molecule inhibitor of RET. Selpercatinib possesses nanomolar potency against diverse RET alterations, including RET fusions, activating RET point mutations, and acquired resistance mutations. Selpercatinib has been shown in vitro and in vivo to exhibit high selectivity for RET, with limited activity against other tyrosine kinases.12,13 Clinical Development Selpercatinib is being investigated in clinical trials in patients with medullary thyroid cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, papillary thyroid carcinoma, pediatric cancer, or other advanced solid tumors.

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.
