Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are mesenchymal tumors that occur predominantly in the stomach and the small bowel. Their pathogenesis is generally based on primary activating mutations in the KIT or PDGFRα genes that result in constitutive activation of receptor tyrosine kinase activity. Imatinib, first designed to competitively inhibit the ATP-binding pocket of the BCR-ABL tyrosin kinase exhibits inhibition also in the KIT and PDGFRα tyrosine kinases, which revolutionized the therapy of gastrointestinal stromal tumors, a disease without any systemic treatment options prior to imatinib. Clinical benefit is achieved in approximately 85% of patients with unresectable or metastatic disease with a median progression-free survival of 19 to 26 months and an overall survival approaching 5 years. Disease progression results from different mechanisms of resistance most frequently involving the emergence of secondary mutations in KIT exons 13, 14, or 17. Several newer drugs have been studied in patients failing or being intolerant to imatinib, including the multitargeted agent sunitinib as well as other KIT targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitors like nilotinib or agents targeting alternative pathways like anti-angiogenic agents, mTOR-, RAF kinase- and chaperone inhibitors. 相似文献

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) comprise a recently defined entity of the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. Advances in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of GIST pathogenesis have resulted in the development of a treatment approach which has become a model of targeted therapy in oncology. The introduction of imatinib mesylate (inhibiting KIT/PDGFRA (platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha) and their downstream signaling cascade) has revolutionized the therapy of advanced (inoperable and/or metastatic) GISTs. Imatinib has now become the standard of care in the treatment of patients with advanced GIST. However, a majority of patients eventually develop clinical resistance to imatinib. Over the last few years major progress has been made in elucidating the mechanism of disease progression (as secondary mutations in KIT and/or PDGFRA kinase domains) and resistance to imatinib. Currently, the sole approved second-line drug is sunitinib--a multitargeted agent, an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase, of KIT and PDGFRA/B and of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs)-1, -2 and 3, FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3), colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R), and glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor receptor (REarranged during Transfection; RET). However, a number of new generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors, alone or in combination, are being evaluated at present alongside treatment options alternative to inhibiting the KIT signaling pathway (as heat shock protein 90 or mammalian target of rapamycin). This article discusses the factors relating to imatinib resistance as well as upcoming potentially effective treatment options for patients with progressive disease available in 2008 and those under investigation with more individualized treatment methods, which has been recently patented. This review focuses on the current achievements in targeted therapy of advanced GISTs, and how the insight into the resistance mechanisms may allow in the near future to treat patients with advanced GISTs. 相似文献

Introduction: Mutated forms of the receptor tyrosine kinase c-KIT are “drivers” in several cancers and are attractive targets for therapy. While benefits have been obtained from use of inhibitors of KIT kinase activity such as imatinib, especially in gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), primary resistance occurs with certain oncogenic mutations. Furthermore, resistance frequently develops due to secondary mutations. Approaches to addressing both of these issues as well as combination therapies to optimise use of KIT kinase inhibitors are discussed. Areas covered: This review covers the occurrence of oncogenic KIT mutations in different cancers and the molecular basis of their action. The action of KIT kinase inhibitors, especially imatinib, sunitinib, dasatinib and PKC412, on different primary and secondary mutants is discussed. Outcomes of clinical trials in GIST, acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), systemic mastocytosis and melanoma and their implications for future directions are considered. Expert opinion: Analysis of KIT mutations in individual patients is an essential prerequisite to the use of kinase inhibitors for therapy, and monitoring for development of secondary mutations that confer drug resistance is necessary. However, it is unlikely that KIT inhibitors alone can lead to cure. KIT mutations alone do not seem to be sufficient for transformation; thus identification and co-targeting of synergistic oncogenic pathways should lead to improved outcomes. 相似文献

Imatinib and AMN107 are protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors which reduce KIT autophosphorylation with similar potency. This report describes the cellular uptake of these compounds in two human gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST)-derived cell lines (GIST882 and GIST GDG1), which both express constitutively activated KIT. In GIST882 and GIST GDG1 cell lines, HPLC analysis revealed AMN107 intracellular concentrations to be 7- and 10-fold greater than those of imatinib. These data indicate either increased cellular uptake or decreased cellular efflux of AMN107 when compared to imatinib in GIST cell lines. The finding suggests that AMN107 might be less susceptible to transport-driven imatinib resistance. The stable and increased exposure of GIST cells to a highly active AMN107 agent could be important in the treatment of imatinib-resistant GIST patients in whom resistance has developed as a result of changes in cellular transport mechanisms for which AMN107 is not a substrate. 相似文献

Imatinib mesylate: in the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumours 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Imatinib mesylate (imatinib) is an orally administered competitive inhibitor of the tyrosine kinases associated with the KIT protein (stem cell factor receptor), ABL protein and platelet-derived growth factor receptors. The KIT tyrosine kinase is abnormally expressed in gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), a rare neoplasm for which there has been no effective systemic therapy. In a randomised, nonblind, multicentre study that evaluated imatinib 400 or 600mg once daily in 147 patients with advanced GIST, confirmed partial responses were achieved in 54% of patients overall (median duration of follow-up was 288 days). Stable disease was experienced by 28% of patients and the estimated 1-year survival rate was 88%. Similar response rates were reported in a smaller, dose-escalation study, in which objective tumour response was a secondary endpoint. Although nearly all patients with GIST treated with imatinib experienced adverse events, most events were mild or moderate in nature. Severe or serious adverse events occurred in 21% of patients in the larger study, and included gastrointestinal or tumour haemorrhage. The control of cellular processes, such as cell growth, division and death, involves signal transduction, which commonly involves the transfer of phosphate from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to tyrosine residues on substrate proteins, by tyrosine kinase enzymes. Activation of oncogenes coding for kinase proteins can lead to the production of kinases that are continually active in the absence of a normal stimulus,leading to increased cell proliferation and/or decreased apoptosis. A major focus of cancer research in recent years has been to identify oncogenic molecules and the signal transduction pathways in which they are involved, in order to develop specifically targeted drugs. One such drug is imatinib mesylate (imatinib, Glivic/Gleevec), an orally administered 2-phenylaminopyrimidine derivative that is a competitive inhibitor of the tyrosine kinases associated with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors, the Abelson (ABL) protein and the KIT protein (also known as stem cell factor [SCF] receptor). Imatinib was initially evaluated for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) [reviewed previously in Drugs]. More recently, imatinib has been approved for the treatment of patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), in which KIT, a tyrosine kinase receptor, is abnormally expressed. GISTs are soft tissue gastrointestinal sarcomas probably arising from mesenchymal cells. They are rare neoplasms, with between 5000 and 10 000 new cases being diagnosed each year in the US. GISTs occur throughout the gastrointestinal tract but the stomach and small intestine are the most common sites. Symptoms depend on the site and size of the tumour, and may include abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding or signs of obstruction; small tumours may be asymptomatic. The diagnosis of GIST is made by immunohistochemical staining for CD117, a cell surface antigen on the extracellular domain of KIT, in conjunction with pathological examination of tissue with light microscopy. All GISTs may have some degree of malignant potential. They are unresponsive to standard chemotherapy and to radiotherapy, and the mainstay of treatment in the past has been surgery. However, recurrence rates are high, and there has been no effective systemic treatment for unresectable GIST or metastatic disease. For patients in whom complete resection is not possible, or in patients with metastatic or recurrent disease, the median duration of survival is 9-12 months, and 10-19 months, respectively. Gain-of-function mutations of the KIT proto-oncogene occur in up to 90% of GISTs, allowing constitutive activation of tyrosine kinase (i.e. auto-phosphorylation of tyrosine residues independent of ligand-receptor binding), leading to aberrant cell division and tumour growth. Imatinib selectively inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity associated with KIT, which forms the rationale for evaluating its effects in GIST. Subsequent to initial evidence of the clinical efficacy of imatinib in a single patient with progressive, metastatic, CD117-positive GIST, formal studies of imatinib in this new indication were initiated. This article summarises the pharmacology, efficacy and tolerability profile of imatinib in the treatment of patients with advanced GIST. 相似文献

Acquired constitutive activation of protein tyrosine kinases is a central feature in the pathogenesis of chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMPDs). The most commonly involved genes are the receptor tyrosine kinases PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FGFR1 or c-KIT and the non-receptor tyrosine kinases JAK2 and ABL. Activation occurs as a consequence of specific point mutations or fusion genes generated by chromosomal translocations, insertions or deletions. Mutant kinases are constitutively active in the absence of the natural ligands resulting in deregulation of haemopoiesis in a manner analogous to BCR-ABL in chronic myeloid leukaemia. With the advent of targeted signal transduction therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, an accurate diagnosis of CMPDs by morphology, karyotyping and molecular genetics has become increasingly important. Imatinib induces high response rates in patients associated with constitutive activation of ABL, PDGFRalpha, PDGFRbeta and some KIT mutants. Other inhibitors under development are promising candidates for effective treatment of patients with constitutive activation of JAK2, FGFR1 and imatinib-resistant KIT mutants. 相似文献

Because a variety of receptor tyrosine kinases are involved in the mechanism of tumor progression, the development of a clinically useful tyrosine kinase inhibitor is expected as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of malignant cancers. Imatinib mesylate, known as Gleevec or STI-571, is a molecule that inhibits the function of various receptors with tyrosine kinase activity, such as Abl, the bcr-abl chimeric product, KIT, and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors. In this study, we investigated the influence of dosing time on the ability of imatinib to inhibit tumor growth in mice. Tumor-bearing mice were housed under standardized light/dark cycle conditions (lights on at 07:00 h, off at 19:00 h) with food and water ad libitum. The growth of tumor cells implanted in mice was more severely inhibited by the administration of imatinib (50 mg/kg, i.p.) in the early light phase than when it was administered in the early dark phase. The dosing time-dependency of anti-tumor effects was parallel to that of imatinib-induced anti-angiogenic effect. The inhibitory effect of imatinib on tyrosine kinase activity of PDGF receptors, but not of KIT and Abl, varied according to its administration time. The dosing time-dependency of imatinib-induced inhibition of PDGF receptor activity was closely related to that of its anti-tumor effects. Our results suggest that the anti-tumor efficacy of imatinib is enhanced by administering the drug when PDGF receptor activity was increased. The potent therapeutic efficacy of the drug could be expected by optimizing the dosing schedule. 相似文献

Imatinib mesylate (Gleevec; Novartis, Basel, Switzerland) is a highly effective inhibitor of the deregulated kinase activity of BCR-ABL in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and represents the current standard of care for patients with this disease. Mutations within the ABL kinase domain that interfere with drug binding have been identified as the main mechanism of resistance to imatinib. Currently, more than 50 different BCR-ABL mutants conferring varying degrees of resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been identified. Nilotinib (Tasigna; Novartis) is a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor with 30-fold higher potency against BCR-ABL kinase than imatinib. Notably, nilotinib is active against a wide range of imatinib-resistant or-intolerant patients, except for T315I. Results from the pivotal phase II studies of nilotinib for patients with CML after failure or intolerance to imatinib therapy indicate that nilotinib has a favorable toxicity profile and is highly efficacious in this setting. Studies exploring the efficacy of nilotinib as front-line therapy for patients with newly diagnosed CML are ongoing. Here, we review the preclinical and clinical development of nilotinib for the treatment of CML. 相似文献

Bafetinib (NS-187, INNO-406) is a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor in development by CytRx under license from Nippon Shinyaku for treating Bcr-Abl+ leukemia's, including chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is a rationally developed tyrosine kinase inhibitor based on the chemical structure of imatinib, with modifications added to improve binding and potency against Bcr-Abl kinase. Besides Abl, bafetinib targets the Src family kinase Lyn, which has been associated with resistance to imatinib in CML. In preclinical studies, bafetinib was 25- to 55-fold more potent than imatinib in vitro and ≥ 10-fold more potent in vivo. Bafetinib inhibits 12 of the 13 most frequent imatinib-resistant Bcr-Abl point mutations, but not a Thr315Ile mutation. A small fraction of bafetinib crosses the blood-brain barrier, reaching brain concentrations adequate for suppression of Bcr-Abl+ cells. Data from a phase I clinical trial conducted in patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant CML have confirmed that bafetinib has clinical activity in this setting, inducing a major cytogenetic response in 19% of those patients in chronic phase. Currently, bafetinib is being developed in two phase II clinical trials for patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and prostate cancer, and a trial is in progress for patients with brain tumors. 相似文献

Imatinib mesylate, Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has improved the treatment of Bcr-Abl-positive leukemia such as chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph(+)ALL). However, resistance is often reported in patients with advanced-stage disease. Several novel tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which have been developed to override imatinib resistance mechanisms such as overexpression of Bcr-Abl and point mutations within the Abl kinase domain, are currently competing. Inhibitors of Abl tyrosine kinase are divided into two main groups, namely, ATP-competitive and ATP non-competitive inhibitors. Moreover, ATP-competitive inhibitors are fall into two subclasses, i.e. the Src/Abl inhibitors, and 2-phenylaminopyrimidin-based compounds. Dasatinib (formerly BMS-354825), AP23464, SKI-606 and PD166326 are classified as Src/Abl inhibitors while AMN107 and NS-187 (INNO-406) belong to the latter subclass of inhibitors. Among these agents, clinical studies on dasatinib and AMN107 had started earlier than the others and favorable results are accumulating. Clinical studies of other compounds including NS-187 (INNO-406) will be performed in rapid succession. Because of its strong affinity, most ATP competitive inhibitors may be effective against imatinib-resistant patients. However, to date, an ATP-competitive inhibitor that can inhibit the phosphorylation of T315I Bcr-Abl has not yet been developed. To address this problem, ATP non-competitive inhibitors such as ON012380, Aurora kinase inhibitor VX-680 and p38 MAP kinase inhibitor BIRB-796 have been developed. It may be necessary for the improvement of CML and Ph(+)ALL treatment to be taken into consideration of the combination therapy with novel ATP-competitive inhibitors and these agents. 相似文献

The successful introduction of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors has initiated a new era in the management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Imatinib mesilate therapy has significantly improved the prognosis of CML. A minority of patients in chronic-phase CML--and more patients in advanced phases--are resistant to imatinib, or develop resistance during treatment. This is attributed, in 40-50% of cases, to the development of mutations in the Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase domain that impair imatinib binding. Nilotinib (Tasigna) is a novel potent selective oral kinase inhibitor. Preclinical and clinical investigations demonstrate that nilotinib effectively overcomes imatinib resistance, and has induced high rates of hematologic and cytogenetic responses in CML post imatinib failure. 相似文献

Background: The clinical success of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib (Gleevec; STI-571) in the treatment of several leukemias has emphasized the proof-of-concept that molecularly targeted drug design is a viable approach to cancer therapy. However, the emergence of imatinib-resistant phenotypes has spurred a vast amount of research towards finding newer and more potent kinase inhibitors that can overcome drug resistance. Unexpectedly, the newest inhibitors are often less specific than imatinib, inhibiting not only BCR-Abl (the target of imatinib), but also the Src family of tyrosine kinases, which have recently been shown to be downstream effectors of BCR-Abl. Objective: This review summarizes some of the new BCR-Abl inhibitors that have followed from the teaming of combinatorial library searches and structure-based drug design, giving attention to the structural aspects of drug recognition. Conclusion: The use of lower-specificity inhibitors seemingly undermines the rationale behind targeted therapy, yet it appears to be a critical aspect of overcoming drug resistance. Combination therapy with a cocktail of drugs, including an inhibitor of the T315I resistance mutation, will be the next maneuver in the battle against BCR-Abl in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia. 相似文献

The BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib has greatly improved the outcome for patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). Unfortunately, mutations causing resistance to imatinib are leading to relapses in some patients. In addition to inhibiting the wild-type BCR-ABL, BMS-354825 inhibited 14 of 15 BCR-ABL mutants. BMS-354825 treatment of immunodeficient mice prevented the progression of the disease in mice treated with the most clinical common imatinib-resistant mutant Met351Thr. The safety and efficacy of BMS-354825 is presently being evaluated in a phase I/II clinical trial in CML patients with imatinib resistance. The frequency of clinical use of BMS-3548125 in CML patients will depend on its efficacy/safety profile in clinical trial. 相似文献

Myeloid malignancies are frequently associated with translocations and mutations of tyrosine kinase genes. Fusion genes involving ABL, ARG, PDGFRs, JAK2, SYK, TRKC, and FGFRs, and gain-of-function mutations of FLT3, KIT and JAK2 have been detected at various rates in myeloproliferative disease and acute myeloid leukemia. Furthermore, abnormal overexpression of tyrosine kinases such as FLT3 has also been reported. These gene products are constitutively activated and potentially transform hematopoietic cells by augmentation of proliferation and enhanced viability. Since the fusion or mutation of tyrosine kinase is a primary and central event in chronic myeloproliferative diseases, targeting the kinase activity has been thought to be an ideal intervention to treat these diseases. The clinical success of imatinib for chronic myeloid leukemia has made this idea a reality, and has accelerated the development of new tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Challenging studies with TKIs have also been reported for acute myeloid leukemia. This review will focus on recent trials of TKIs against oncogenic tyrosine kinases (ABL, PDGFRs, FLT3 and KIT) in myeloid malignancies. 相似文献

Importance of the field: Several therapeutic options, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors, exist for the treatment of patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Despite impressive results, there is room for improvement for those patients who are either resistant or intolerant to imatinib.Areas covered in this review: An overview is given on the clinical results with nilotinib, a rationally designed second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, as first- and second-line therapy in patients with Ph-positive CML. Important factors in predicting resistance to nilotinib and guiding therapeutic decisions are addressed.What the reader will gain: Knowledge on the clinical efficacy and safety of nilotinib after imatinib failure and as first-line treatment. Point mutations in the kinase domain (KD) of BCR-ABL1 are important determinants of clinical sensitivity to currently available tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including nilotinib. Information on specific BCR-ABL1 KD mutations and safety profiles assist in therapeutic decision making.Take home message: Nilotinib is a highly effective and well-tolerated therapeutic option in patients with Ph-positive CML after imatinib failure. Early evidence demonstrating increased efficacy has allowed expanding nilotinib to previously untreated patients in chronic phase. Insights into mechanisms of resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors and predictive factors for response will allow for a more individualized use of these agents. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION: The advent of effective immunotherapy and targeted therapy, such as ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody) and vemurafenib (BRAF inhibitor), are changing the treatment paradigm for metastatic melanoma. One of the most readily recognized targets in metastatic melanoma is the oncogenic 'driver' mutations KIT, which is thought to be an important driver mutation in up to 3% of melanomas. AREAS COVERED: We review the current state of development of KIT-targeted agents in melanoma with KIT mutations. The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of nilotinib are presented, as well its safety clinical activity data. Finally, we present the knowledge learned from the experience of nilotinib in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) to guide its development for melanoma. EXPERT OPINION: Given its favorable safety and efficacy profile in CML and imatinib-resistant GISTs, nilotinib, a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor with greater potency than imatinib, emerges as a promising agent in the treatment of metastatic melanoma harboring the KIT mutation and warrants clinical investigation in this setting. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To review the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, safety, and drug-drug and drug-food interactions of imatinib and the economic considerations of imatinib in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). DATA SOURCES: Literature accessed through MEDLINE (January 1970-January 2002), abstracts from the 2001 annual meetings of the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the American Society of Hematology, imatinib product labeling, and additional studies or abstracts identified from the bibliographies of the reviewed literature were used to compile data. Key search terms were allogeneic bone marrow transplant and stem cell transplant, chronic myeloid leukemia, imatinib, interferon, Gleevec, leukemia, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, STI-571, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. FINDINGS: Imatinib is a distinctively characteristic drug targeted toward inhibition of tyrosine kinase activity. Imatinib is indicated for the treatment of patients with CML who failed interferon (IFN)-alpha therapy and for the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) expressing the tyrosine kinase receptor c-kit. Imatinib produces positive short-term hematologic and cytogenetic responses in patients with CML; short-term positive objective responses have been shown for patients with GISTs. To our knowledge, there are no controlled trials demonstrating long-term safety, improvement in disease-related symptoms, or increased survival with imatinib. Serious adverse effects requiring dosage decreases and/or therapy termination are edema, hepatotoxicity, and hematologic toxicity. Imatinib also has been found to inhibit tyrosine kinases involved in the growth of other malignancies. The role of imatinib in tumors that express a tyrosine kinase is constantly evolving with new research results. CONCLUSIONS: Imatinib therapy should be limited to patients whose tumor growth is related to a genetically defective tyrosine kinase. In cases of CML, imatinib should be further limited to patients who have tried and failed IFN-alpha therapy or who are not candidates for an allogeneic stem cell transplant. 相似文献

EGFR somatic mutations define a subset of NSCLCs that are most likely to benefit from EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). These tumors are dependent on EGFR-signaling for survival. Recently, tyrosine kinase domain somatic mutations have been approved as criterion to decide first-line therapy in this group of advanced NSCLCs. Anyway, all patients ultimately develop resistance to these drugs. Acquired resistance is linked to a secondary EGFR mutation in about a half of patients. Uncontrolled activation of MET, another tyrosine kinase receptor, has been implicated in neoplastic invasive growth. MET is overexpressed, activated and sometimes mutated in NSCLC cell lines and tumor tissues. MET increased gene copy number has also been documented in NSCLC and has been studied as negative prognostic factor. It has also been found in about 20% of patients developing acquired resistance to TKIs inhibitors. In this group, it seems to display a new mechanism, which is able to mark tumor independence from EGFR signaling. The study of delayed resistance mechanisms could lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies. Different molecular alterations could be specifically targeted in order to extend disease control in this group of NSCLCs with distinct clinical and molecular features. EGFR irreversible inhibitors, MET inhibitors and dual EGFR/VEGFR inhibitors represent one of the most challenging issues in current clinical research. Ongoing clinical trials and future perspectives are discussed. 相似文献
