Overview

Trade Name(s):
Rozlytrek
NCI Definition [1]:
An orally bioavailable inhibitor of the tyrosine kinases tropomyosin receptor kinases (Trk) A, B and C, C-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, entrectinib binds to and inhibits TrkA, TrkB, TrkC, ROS1 and ALK. Inhibition of these kinases may result in a disruption of TrkA-, TrkB-, TrkC-, ROS1-, and ALK-mediated signaling. This leads to an induction of apoptosis and an inhibition of tumor cell proliferation in tumor cells that express these kinases. TrkA, TrkB, TrkC, ROS1 and ALK are overexpressed in a variety of cancer cell types.

Biomarker-Directed Therapies

Entrectinib has been investigated in 12 clinical trials, of which 12 are open and 0 are closed. Of the trials investigating entrectinib, 1 is phase 1 (1 open), 2 are phase 1/phase 2 (2 open), 8 are phase 2 (8 open), and 1 is phase 2/phase 3 (1 open).

ROS1 Fusion, NTRK1 Fusion, and NTRK2 Fusion are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for entrectinib clinical trials.

Malignant solid tumor, non-small cell lung carcinoma, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia are the most common diseases being investigated in entrectinib clinical trials [2].
