Abstract Text | FMS-like Tyrosine Kinase 3 (FLT3) mutation is associated with poor survival in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The specific Anexelekto/MER Tyrosine Kinase (AXL) inhibitor, ONO-7475, kills FLT3-mutant AML cells with targets including Extracellular- signal Regulated Kinase (ERK) and Myeloid Cell Leukemia 1 (MCL1). ERK and MCL1 are known resistance factors for Venetoclax (ABT-199), a popular drug for AML therapy, prompting the investigation of the efficacy of ONO-7475 in combination with ABT-199 in vitro and in vivo. ONO-7475 synergizes with ABT-199 to potently kill FLT3-mutant acute myeloid leukemia cell lines and primary cells. ONO-7475 is effective against ABT-199-resistant cells including cells that overexpress MCL1. Proteomic analyses revealed that ABT-199-resistant cells expressed elevated levels of pro-growth and anti-apoptotic proteins compared to parental cells, and that ONO-7475 reduced the expression of these proteins in both the parental and ABT-199-resistant cells. ONO-7475 treatment significantly extended survival as a single in vivo agent using acute myeloid leukemia cell lines and PDX models. Compared to ONO-7474 monotherapy, the combination of ONO-7475/ABT-199 was even more potent in reducing leukemic burden and prolonging the survival of mice in both model systems. These results suggest that the ONO-7475/ABT-199 combination may be effective for AML therapy. |

FLT3 exon 14 ins | acute myeloid leukemia | sensitive | ONO-7475 | Preclinical - Pdx & cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, ONO-7475 treatment inhibited Erk phosphorylation and cell viability in acute myeloid leukemia cell lines harboring a FLT3-ITD mutation in culture, and reduced leukemia burden and prolonged survival in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and cell line xenograft models (PMID: 34732043). | 34732043 |
FLT3 exon 14 ins | acute myeloid leukemia | sensitive | ONO-7475 + Venetoclax | Preclinical - Pdx & cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the combination of ONO-7475 and Venclexta (venetoclax) synergistically inhibited cell viability and induced apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia cell lines harboring a FLT3-ITD mutation in culture, and reduced leukemia burden and prolonged overall survival in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and cell line xenograft models with increased efficacy over either agent alone (PMID: 34732043). | 34732043 |
