| Popis: | The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway is frequently activated in human cancers due to genetic alterations that can occur at multiple nodes, the most prevalent of which are mutations in RAS or BRAF. While BRAFV600 mutant tumors are responsive to RAF inhibitors such as dabrafenib and vemurafenib, these drugs are ineffective in RAS mutant cancers and tumors expressing other RAF mutations. CRAF kinase functions as a critical effector in mutant RAS and Class II/III BRAF mutant tumors and plays a role in feedback-mediated pathway reactivation following MEK inhibition. Thus, selective inhibitors that potently inhibit the activity of CRAF could be both effective in blocking mutant RAS and BRAF signaling and in inhibiting feedback-mediated activation in combination with a MEK inhibitor. LXH254 is a type II ATP-competitive inhibitor that inhibits both B- and CRAF kinase activities at picomolar concentrations with a high degree of selectivity against a panel of 456 human kinases and in cell-based assays. LXH254 not only inhibits MAPK signaling activity in tumor models harboring BRAFV600 mutation, but also inhibits mutant N- and KRAS-driven signaling due to its ability to inhibit both RAF monomers and dimers with similar potencies. LXH254 is orally bioavailable, demonstrates a direct PK/PD relationship and causes tumor regression in multiple cell line and primary human tumor derived xenograft models at well-tolerated doses. LXH254 represents a next generation RAF inhibitor that is differentiated from other RAF inhibitors in this class due to the high degree of selectivity. In preclinical efficacy and toxicology studies, LXH254 demonstrated a relatively wide therapeutic index which should enable effective interrogation of RAF inhibition in patients with decreased risk for off-target toxicity. LXH254 is currently in a Phase I trial in patients with solid tumors expressing MAPK pathway mutations. Citation Format: Darrin D.
