Popis: Chromosome rearrangements of ROS1 have been identified as oncogenic drivers in many malignancies, especially non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Crizotinib is the only approved treatment for ROS1+ NSCLC. The efficacy of crizotinib varies among different types of ROS1 fusion partners in patients with ROS1-rearranged NSCLC, and the most dominant fusion CD74-ROS1 was associated with a higher rate of brain metastases and shorter overall survival. Unfortunately, the emergence of drug resistance to crizotinib and other ROS1-targeted therapies represents a major obstacle. The most common resistance mutations to crizotinib in ROS1+ NSCLC are the solvent front mutation (SFM) ROS1 G2032R and gatekeeper mutation ROS1 L2026M. Repotrectinib was rationally designed to overcome resistance mutations. The activity of repotrectinib against multiple fusion ROS1s and corresponding resistance mutations is outlined in the Table. Repotrectinib potently inhibited both wildtype and mutated fusion ROS1s including SFMs and gatekeeper mutations. In cell growth assays using engineered Ba/F3 cells expressing ROS1 fusions with several different partners, such as SDC4, CD74, TPM3 and EZR, repotrectinib demonstrated superior potency in comparison to other ROS1 inhibitors against multiple ROS1 mutations, especially the solvent front and gatekeeper mutations. In xenograft tumor model studies, repotrectinib resulted in tumor regression in the tumors carrying WT or SFM ROS1 fusion genes. Overall, repotrectinib demonstrated a strong inhibition profile against WT and various mutated ROS1s across different fusion partners when compared to many other ROS1 TKIs. A Phase 1/2 clinical trial of repotrectinib is currently enrolling ROS1+ NSCLC patients (NCT03093116).
