Abstract Text | RET fusions are oncogenic drivers of various tumors, including non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). The safety and antitumor activity of the multikinase RET inhibitor RXDX-105 were explored in a phase I/Ib trial. A recommended phase II dose of 275 mg fed daily was identified. The most common treatment-related adverse events were fatigue (25%), diarrhea (24%), hypophosphatemia (18%), maculopapular rash (18%), and nonmaculopapular rash (17%). In the phase Ib cohort of RET inhibitor-naïve patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLCs, the objective response rate (ORR) was 19% (95% CI, 8%-38%, n = 6/31). Interestingly, the ORR varied significantly by the gene fusion partner (P < 0.001, Fisher exact test): 0% (95% CI, 0%-17%, n = 0/20) with KIF5B (the most common upstream partner for RET fusion-positive NSCLC), and 67% (95% CI, 30%-93%, n = 6/9) with non-KIF5B partners. The median duration of response in all RET fusion-positive NSCLCs was not reached (range, 5 to 18+ months). SIGNIFICANCE: Although KIF5B-RET is the most common RET fusion in NSCLCs, RET inhibition with RXDX-105 resulted in responses only in non-KIF5B-RET-containing cancers. Novel approaches to targeting KIF5B-RET-containing tumors are needed, along with a deeper understanding of the biology that underlies the differential responses observed.This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 305. |

EML4 RET | EML4 - RET | fusion | gain of function - predicted | EML4-RET results from the fusion of EML4 and RET (PMID: 33082208), which results in increased Erk phosphorylation in cultured cells (PMID: 33848463), and therefore, is predicted to lead to a gain of protein function. EML4-RET has been identified in lung cancer (PMID: 33082208, PMID: 31485557, PMID: 30487236). |

RET rearrange | lung non-small cell carcinoma | predicted - sensitive | RXDX-105 | Phase I | Actionable | In a Phase Ib trial, treatment with RXDX-105 (CEP-32496) resulted in an overall response rate of 19% (6/31) and stable disease in 39% (12/31) of patients with treatment-naive non-small cell lung cancer harboring a RET fusion (PMID: 30487236; NCT01877811) | 30487236 |
