Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A recombinant therapeutic agent which is chemically identical to or similar to the endogenous cytokine Flt3. Flt3 ligand binds to the Flt3 tyrosine kinase receptor and, synergistically with other growth factors, stimulates the proliferation and mobilization of bone marrow precursor cells, including CD34+ cells, and dendritic cells. When proteolytically cleaved, the transmembrane isoform of Flt3 ligand generates the soluble form soluble Flt3 ligand, which is also biologically active.

Recombinant flt3 ligand has been investigated in 10 clinical trials, of which 10 are open and 0 are closed. Of the trials investigating recombinant flt3 ligand, 5 are phase 1 (5 open), 2 are phase 1/phase 2 (2 open), and 3 are phase 2 (3 open).

ER Positive, HER2 Deficient Expression, and HER2 Negative are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for recombinant flt3 ligand clinical trials.

Breast carcinoma, indolent non-hodgkin lymphoma, and non-small cell lung carcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in recombinant flt3 ligand clinical trials [2].
