Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
An orally active, synthetic retinoid, developed to overcome all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) resistance, with potential antineoplastic activity. As a specific retinoic acid receptor (RAR) alpha/beta agonist, tamibarotene is approximately ten times more potent than ATRA in inducing cell differentiation and apoptosis in HL-60 (human promyelocytic leukemia) cell lines in vitro. Due to a lower affinity for cellular retinoic acid binding protein (CRABP), tamibarotene may show sustained plasma levels compared to ATRA. In addition, this agent may exhibit a lower toxicity profile than ATRA, in part, due to the lack of affinity for the RAR-gamma receptor, the major retinoic acid receptor in the dermal epithelium.

Tamibarotene has been investigated in 2 clinical trials, of which 2 are open and 0 are closed. Of the trials investigating tamibarotene, 1 is phase 2 (1 open) and 1 is phase 3 (1 open).

Complex karyotype, Loss of Y, and Monosomy 7 are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for tamibarotene clinical trials.

Myelodysplastic syndromes is the most common disease being investigated in tamibarotene clinical trials [2].
