Overview

Generic Name(s):
ponatinib
Trade Name(s):
Iclusig
NCI Definition [1]:
An orally bioavailable multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor with potential antiangiogenic and antineoplastic activities. Ponatinib inhibits unmutated and all mutated forms of Bcr-Abl, including T315I, the highly drug therapy-resistant missense mutation of Bcr-Abl. This agent also inhibits other tyrosine kinases including those associated with vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) and fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs); in addition, it inhibits the tyrosine kinase receptor TIE2 and FMS-related tyrosine kinase receptor-3 (Flt3). RTK inhibition by ponatinib may result in the inhibition of cellular proliferation and angiogenesis and may induce cell death. Bcr-Abl is a fusion tyrosine kinase encoded by the Philadelphia chromosome.

Biomarker-Directed Therapies

Ponatinib has been investigated in 30 clinical trials, of which 26 are open and 4 are closed. Of the trials investigating ponatinib, 2 are phase 1 (1 open), 6 are phase 1/phase 2 (5 open), 19 are phase 2 (18 open), 2 are phase 3 (2 open), and 1 is no phase specified (0 open).

BCR-ABL1 Fusion, t(9;22)(q34;q11), and FLT3 ITD are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for ponatinib clinical trials.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, and acute myeloid leukemia are the most common diseases being investigated in ponatinib clinical trials [2].
