Abstract
Oncogenic RET alteration is an important, tissue-agnostic therapeutic target across diverse cancers. We conducted a first-in-human phase 1 study on SY-5007, a potent and selective RET inhibitor, in patients with RET-altered solid tumors. Primary endpoints were safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Secondary endpoints included pharmacokinetics and preliminary anti-tumor activity. A total of 122 patients were enrolled (17 in dose-escalation phase and 105 in dose-expansion phase), including 91 with non-small cell lung cancer, 23 with medullary thyroid cancer, 7 with papillary thyroid cancer and 1 with gastric cancer. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported in 96.7% of patients, with the most common grade ≥ 3 TRAEs being hypertension (22.1%), diarrhea (16.4%), hypertriglyceridemia (6.6%), and neutropenia (6.6%). The exposure to SY-5007 was dose proportional. Among the 116 efficacy-evaluable patients, the overall objective response rate (ORR) was 57.8%, with 70.0% in treatment-naïve patients and 51.3% in previously treated patients. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 21.1 months. Efficacy was observed regardless of tumor types and previous therapies. Biomarker analysis of 61 patients with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-detectable RET alterations showed an ORR of 57.4% and median PFS of 13.8 months. Rapid ctDNA clearance of RET alteration correlated with faster responses and improved outcomes. In relapsed patients, off-target induced resistance was observed in 57.1% (12/21), with no on-target RET alterations identified. In conclusion, SY-5007 was well-tolerated and showed promising efficacy in patients with RET-altered solid tumors. Serial ctDNA monitoring may unveil treatment response and potential resistance mechanisms (NCT05278364).
致癌基因 RET 改变是各种癌症的重要组织诊断治疗靶点。我们在RET改变的实体瘤患者中开展了SY-5007(一种强效、选择性RET抑制剂)的首次人体1期研究。主要终点是安全性、最大耐受剂量(MTD)和推荐的 2 期剂量(RP2D)。次要终点包括药代动力学和初步抗肿瘤活性。该研究共招募了122名患者(17名处于剂量递增阶段,105名处于剂量扩大阶段),其中包括91名非小细胞肺癌患者、23名甲状腺髓样癌患者、7名甲状腺乳头状癌患者和1名胃癌患者。96.7%的患者报告了治疗相关不良事件(TRAE),最常见的≥3级TRAE为高血压(22.1%)、腹泻(16.4%)、高甘油三酯血症(6.6%)和中性粒细胞减少(6.6%)。SY-5007的暴露量与剂量成正比。在116例有疗效的患者中,总客观应答率(ORR)为57.8%,其中治疗无效患者为70.0%,既往接受过治疗的患者为51.3%。中位无进展生存期(PFS)为21.1个月。无论肿瘤类型和既往治疗情况如何,都能观察到疗效。对61例可检测到循环肿瘤DNA(ctDNA)RET改变的患者进行的生物标志物分析显示,ORR为57.4%,中位PFS为13.8个月。ctDNA快速清除RET改变与更快的反应和更好的疗效相关。在复发患者中,57.1%(12/21)的患者出现了脱靶诱导耐药,未发现靶上RET改变。总之,SY-5007在RET改变的实体瘤患者中耐受性良好,并显示出良好的疗效。连续的ctDNA监测可揭示治疗反应和潜在的耐药机制(NCT05278364)。
