Abstract Text Mutated oncogenic KIT is a therapeutic target in melanoma. We conducted a multicenter phase II trial on the KIT inhibitor nilotinib in patients with unresectable melanoma harboring KIT alteration. The primary endpoint was the response rate (complete response or partial response following Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria) at 6 months. Pharmacodynamic studies using KIT sequencing, qPCR array, and immunostaining of downstream KIT effectors were performed during treatment. Twenty-five patients were included and received 400 mg oral nilotinib twice daily. At 6 months, nilotinib induced tumor response in four patients. The best overall response rate was 20% and the disease control rate was 56%, limited to patients harboring exon 11 or 13 mutations. Four patients exhibited durable response, including three persisting (3.6 and 2.8 years for two patients with stage IIIC and 2.5 years for one with IVM1b melanoma). A reduction in signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 3 phosphorylation and its effectors (BCL-2, MCL-1) in tumors during follow-up was significantly associated with clinical response. In the KIT-mutated melanoma cell line M230, nilotinib reduced STAT3 signaling and STAT inhibitors were as efficient as KIT inhibitors in reducing cell proliferation. Our study evidences a significant association between STAT3 inhibition and response to nilotinib, and provides a rationale for future research assessing STAT inhibitors in KIT-mutated melanoma.

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.
