Belzutifan | Welireg | PT2977|MK-6482|PT-2977 | HIF2A Inhibitor 6 | Welireg (belzutifan) is a hypoxia inducible factor-2alpha (EPAS1, HIF2A) inhibitor that suppresses expression of HIF2A target genes, resulting in tumor regression (Mol Cancer Ther 2018,17(1 Suppl):Abstract nr B140, PMID: 31282155). Welireg (belzutifan) is FDA-approved for use in patients with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease-associated renal cell carcinoma, central nervous system hemangioblastomas, or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors that require therapy, and in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma who have received anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 therapy and VEGF inhibitor (FDA.gov). |

VHL inact mut | renal cell carcinoma | sensitive | Belzutifan | FDA approved | Actionable | In a Phase II trial that supported FDA approval, Welireg (belzutifan) treatment was safe and resulted in an objective response in 49% (30/61, 30 partial responses) and stable disease in 49% of patients with Von Hippel-Lindau disease-associated localized renal cell carcinoma harboring germline VHL mutations, 94% of patients were progression-free at 24 months and median duration of response was not reached with a median follow-up of 21.8 months (PMID: 34818478; NCT03401788). | 34818478 detail... |
VHL inact mut | pancreatic endocrine carcinoma | sensitive | Belzutifan | FDA approved | Actionable | In a Phase II trial (LITESPARK-004) that supported FDA approval, Welireg (belzutifan) treatment was safe and resulted in an overall response rate (ORR) of 84% (51/61) in patients with Von Hippel-Lindau disease-associated pancreatic tumors harboring germline VHL mutations, ORR was 91% (20/22, 7 complete responses) in patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, with median duration of response and overall survival not reached at a median follow up of 37.8 months (PMID: 38393723; NCT03401788). | 38393723 detail... |
VHL inact mut | hemangioblastoma | sensitive | Belzutifan | FDA approved | Actionable | In a Phase II trial (LITESPARK-004) that supported FDA approval, Welireg (belzutifan) treatment was safe and resulted in an objective response rate (ORR) of 44% (22/50) in patients with Von Hippel-Lindau disease-associated CNS hemangioblastoma harboring germline VHL mutations, ORR was 76% (19/25) in those with measurable baseline lesions (PMID: 39284337; NCT03401788). | 39284337 detail... |
