| Abstract: | The use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) with activity against ALK, ROS1, or TRKA–C can result in significant clinical benefit in patients with diverse tumors harboring ALK, ROS1, or NTRK1–3 rearrangements; however, resistance invariably develops. The emergence of on-target kinase domain mutations represents a major mechanism of acquired resistance. Solvent-front substitutions such as ALKG1202R, ROS1G2032R or ROS1D2033N, TRKAG595R, and TRKCG623R are among the most recalcitrant of these mechanisms. Repotrectinib (TPX-0005) is a rationally designed, low-molecular-weight, macrocyclic TKI that is selective and highly potent against ROS1, TRKA–C, and ALK. Importantly, repotrectinib exhibits activity against a variety of solvent-front substitutions in vitro and in vivo. As clinical proof of concept, in an ongoing first-in-human phase I/II trial, repotrectinib achieved confirmed responses in patients with ROS1 or NTRK3 fusion– positive cancers who had relapsed on earlier-generation TKIs due to ROS1 or TRKC solvent-front substitution-mediated resistance. SIGNIFICANCE: Repotrectinib (TPX-0005), a next-generation ROS1, pan-TRK, and ALK TKI, overcomes resistance due to acquired solvent-front mutations involving ROS1, NTRK1–3, and ALK. Repotrectinib may represent an effective therapeutic option for patients with ROS1-, NTRK1–3-, or ALK-rearranged malignancies who have progressed on earlier-generation TKIs. ©2018 American Association for Cancer Research. |
