Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A novel pyrrolopyrimidine derivative, and an orally available inhibitor of the serine/threonine protein kinase AKT (protein kinase B) with potential antineoplastic activity. Capivasertib binds to and inhibits all AKT isoforms. Inhibition of AKT prevents the phosphorylation of AKT substrates that mediate cellular processes, such as cell division, apoptosis, and glucose and fatty acid metabolism. A wide range of solid and hematological malignancies show dysregulated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling due to mutations in multiple signaling components. By targeting AKT, the key node in the PIK3/AKT signaling network, this agent may be used as monotherapy or combination therapy for a variety of human cancers.

Capivasertib has been investigated in 20 clinical trials, of which 18 are open and 2 are closed. Of the trials investigating capivasertib, 7 are phase 1 (5 open), 3 are phase 1/phase 2 (3 open), 6 are phase 2 (6 open), and 4 are phase 3 (4 open).

HER2 Deficient Expression, HER2 Negative, and ER Positive are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for capivasertib clinical trials.

Breast carcinoma, malignant solid tumor, and prostate carcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in capivasertib clinical trials [2].
