C-MET Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Understanding
C-MET Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (c-MET+ NSCLC): Overview
The role of the c-mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET) signaling pathway in tumor progression and invasion has been extensively studied. C-MET inhibitors have shown anti-tumor activity in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer both in preclinical and in clinical trials. However, given the molecular heterogeneity of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, it is likely that only a specific subset of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer patients will benefit from c-MET inhibitors. Emerging data also suggest that MET inhibitors in combination with EGFR-TKIs (epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors) may have a role in therapy for both EGFR-TKI resistant and EGFR-TKI naïve patients. c-Met is known to be overexpressed, mutated and gene amplified, specifically in NSCLC, and has also been implicated in the development of resistance against other small-molecule inhibitors (e.g. EGFR).
C-mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET)
Protein tyrosine kinases, such as c-Met, are a family of oncogenes that regulate important cellular processes, such as differentiation, proliferation, cell cycle, motility, and apoptosis. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a ligand for c-Met, is secreted by mesodermal cells during development. It produces multiple effects upon binding to its receptor (HGFR/c-Met) and regulates proliferation, motility, mitogenesis, and morphogenesis. Mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) gene can encode unconventional receptor tyrosine kinases with pleiotropic functions, when signals are abnormally activated, it can initiate and maintain tumor transformation, promote cell proliferation, survival, tumor invasion and angiogenesis. Thus, it is a promising therapeutic target.
c-Met inhibitor
c-Met inhibitors are a class of small molecules that inhibit the enzymatic activity of the c-Met tyrosine kinase, the receptor of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF). Many c-Met inhibitors are currently in clinical trials.
Treatment
Although certain phase III clinical trials have failed to meet their endpoints, c-Met inhibitors have the potential to benefit specific subsets of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer patients on a clinical basis. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop diagnostic testing, and to identify predictive biomarkers, to better determine the benefit of anti-c-Met/HGF therapy. Combinatorial therapies have also proved to be more effective in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer clinical trials when compared to monotherapies, due to the development of resistance. Overall, further investigation is necessary to move c-Met inhibitors to the final stages of clinical development, in which they have potential to improve the status of NSCLC patients.
Crizotinib received accelerated approval in 2011 for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
C-MET Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the C-MET Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.
c-MET Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Emerging Drugs
• JNJ-61186372: Janssen Research & Development, LLC
JNJ-6372 is an EGFR-MET bispecific antibody with immune cell-directing activity that targets activating and resistant EGFR and MET mutations and amplifications. The production and development of the antibody followed Janssen’s licensing agreement with Genmab for use of its DuoBody technology platform. According to the company, JNJ-6372 is a novel bispecific antibody that has the potential to benefit patients with Exon 20 mutation insertions who often do not respond to currently available oral EGFR-targeted or immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies.
• PLB1001 - Beijing Pearl Biotechnology Limited Liability Company
PLB1001 is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the proto-oncogene c-Met (hepatocyte growth factor receptor; HGFR) with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, PLB1001 selectively binds to c-Met, thereby inhibiting c-Met phosphorylation and disrupting c-Met signal transduction pathways. This may induce cell death in tumor cells overexpressing c-Met protein or expressing constitutively activated c-Met protein. c-Met, a receptor tyrosine kinase overexpressed or mutated in many tumor cell types, plays key roles in tumor cell proliferation, survival, invasion, metastasis, and tumor angiogenesis.
