Title ATP-Competitive Inhibitors Midostaurin and Avapritinib Have Distinct Resistance Profiles in Exon 17-Mutant KIT.
URL
Abstract Text KIT is a type-3 receptor tyrosine kinase that is frequently mutated at exon 11 or 17 in a variety of cancers. First-generation KIT tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are ineffective against KIT exon 17 mutations, which favor an active conformation that prevents these TKIs from binding. The ATP-competitive inhibitors, midostaurin and avapritinib, which target the active kinase conformation, were developed to inhibit exon 17-mutant KIT. Because secondary kinase domain mutations are a common mechanism of TKI resistance and guide ensuing TKI design, we sought to define problematic KIT kinase domain mutations for these emerging therapeutics. Midostaurin and avapritinib displayed different vulnerabilities to secondary kinase domain substitutions, with the T670I gatekeeper mutation being selectively problematic for avapritinib. Although gatekeeper mutations often directly disrupt inhibitor binding, we provide evidence that T670I confers avapritinib resistance indirectly by inducing distant conformational changes in the phosphate-binding loop. These findings suggest combining midostaurin and avapritinib may forestall acquired resistance mediated by secondary kinase domain mutations. SIGNIFICANCE: This study identifies potential problematic kinase domain mutations for next-generation KIT inhibitors midostaurin and avapritinib.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
