Somatic activating mutations drive most gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Disease progression eventually develops with first-line imatinib, commonly due to secondary mutations, and different kinase inhibitors have various levels of treatment efficacy dependent on specific acquired resistance mutations. Ripretinib is a broad-spectrum switch-control KIT/PDGFRA tyrosine kinase inhibitor for patients with advanced GIST who received prior treatment with three or more kinase inhibitors, including imatinib.

Article Synopsis
  • TGCT is a challenging tumor to treat, primarily managed through surgery, but there are few options for patients who can't have surgery; this study investigates vimseltinib, a new oral medication targeting the CSF1 receptor.
  • Conducted as a phase I/II trial with 69 patients (37 with various malignant tumors and 32 with TGCT), the study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of vimseltinib, while looking at its potential effectiveness.
  • The results showed that vimseltinib was generally well tolerated with a recommended dose of 30 mg taken twice a week, and achieved a 72% objective response rate in TGCT patients, demonstrating promising

  • Tenosynovial giant cell tumour (TGCT) is a locally aggressive tumor with limited treatment options, leading this study to assess vimseltinib, a CSF1R inhibitor, in patients whose TGCT symptoms prevent surgery.
  • The MOTION trial, a phase 3 randomized study, involved 123 adults from 35 hospitals globally, comparing vimseltinib to a placebo over 24 weeks, focusing on the objective response rate determined by independent radiological review.
  • Results showed a significant objective response rate of 40% for vimseltinib compared to 0% for placebo, with most side effects being mild (grade 1 or 2), highlighting vimseltinib's

INTRIGUE was an open-label, phase 3 study in adult patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor who had disease progression on or intolerance to imatinib and who were randomized to once-daily ripretinib 150 mg or sunitinib 50 mg. In the primary analysis, progression-free survival (PFS) with ripretinib was not superior to sunitinib. In clinical and nonclinical studies, ripretinib and sunitinib have demonstrated differential activity based on the exon location of KIT mutations.

Purpose: In the INTRIGUE trial, ripretinib showed no significant difference versus sunitinib in progression-free survival for patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) previously treated with imatinib. We compared the impact of these treatments on health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Patients And Methods: Patients were randomised 1:1 to once-daily ripretinib 150 mg or once-daily sunitinib 50 mg (4 weeks on/2 weeks off).

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a rare, locally aggressive neoplasm that occurs in the synovium of joints, bursae, or tendon sheaths and is caused by upregulation of the gene. Vimseltinib is an oral switch-control tyrosine kinase inhibitor specifically designed to selectively and potently inhibit the CSF1 receptor. Here, we describe the rationale and design for the phase III MOTION trial (NCT05059262), which aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vimseltinib in participants with TGCT not amenable to surgical resection.

Purpose: Sunitinib, a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is approved for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) after imatinib failure. Ripretinib is a switch-control TKI approved for advanced GIST after prior treatment with three or more TKIs, including imatinib. We compared efficacy and safety of ripretinib versus sunitinib in patients with advanced GIST who were previously treated with imatinib (INTRIGUE, ClinicalTrials.

Ripretinib is a switch control KIT kinase inhibitor approved for treatment of adults with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors who received prior treatment with 3 or more kinase inhibitors, including imatinib. Ripretinib and its active metabolite (DP-5439) are cleared mainly via cytochrome P450 enzyme 3A4/5 (CYP3A4/5), and ripretinib solubility is pH-dependent, thus the drug-drug interaction potentials of ripretinib with itraconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor), rifampin (strong CYP3A inducer), and pantoprazole (proton pump inhibitor) were each evaluated in open-label, fixed-sequence study designs. Overall, 20 participants received ripretinib 50 mg alone and with itraconazole 200 mg once daily, 24 participants received ripretinib 100 mg alone and with rifampin 600 mg once daily, and 25 participants received ripretinib 50 mg alone and with pantoprazole 40 mg once daily.

Purpose: Most patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) have activating mutations in and are initially responsive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). The acquisition of secondary mutations leads to refractory/relapsed disease. This study reports the results of an analysis from the phase III INVICTUS study (NCT03353753) characterizing the genomic heterogeneity of tumors from patients with advanced GIST and evaluating ripretinib efficacy across mutation subgroups.

Macrophages can be co-opted to contribute to neoplastic, neurologic, and inflammatory diseases. Colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R)-dependent macrophages and other inflammatory cells can suppress the adaptive immune system in cancer and contribute to angiogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis. CSF1R-expressing osteoclasts mediate bone degradation in osteolytic cancers and cancers that metastasize to bone.

Purpose: Ripretinib is a switch-control tyrosine kinase inhibitor that broadly inhibits KIT and platelet-derived growth factor receptor α kinase signalling. Ripretinib showed preliminary efficacy in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) in a phase I study across a range of doses. Results were confirmed in the phase III INVICTUS study, and ripretinib 150 mg once daily (QD) was subsequently approved as a ≥fourth-line therapy.

Background: Resistance to approved inhibitors of KIT proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT), and platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRA) is a clinical challenge for patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumours. We compared the efficacy and safety of ripretinib, a switch-control tyrosine kinase inhibitor active against a broad spectrum of KIT and PDGFRA mutations, with placebo in patients with previously treated, advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumours.

Methods: In this double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study, we enrolled adult patients in 29 specialised hospitals in 12 countries.

Ripretinib (DCC-2618) is a novel, type II tyrosine switch control inhibitor designed to broadly inhibit activating and drug-resistant mutations in and . Ripretinib has emerged as a promising investigational agent for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumor owing to targeted inhibition of secondary resistance mutations that may develop following treatment with prior line(s) of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Here we describe the rationale and design of intrigue (NCT03673501), a global, randomized (1:1), open-label, Phase III study comparing the safety and efficacy of ripretinib versus sunitinib in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor following imatinib.

Ripretinib (DCC-2618) was designed to inhibit the full spectrum of mutant KIT and PDGFRA kinases found in cancers and myeloproliferative neoplasms, particularly in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), in which the heterogeneity of drug-resistant KIT mutations is a major challenge. Ripretinib is a "switch-control" kinase inhibitor that forces the activation loop (or activation "switch") into an inactive conformation. Ripretinib inhibits all tested KIT and PDGFRA mutants, and notably is a type II kinase inhibitor demonstrated to broadly inhibit activation loop mutations in KIT and PDGFRA, previously thought only achievable with type I inhibitors.
