A new chimeric fusion transcript of KIF5B (the kinesin family 5B gene) and the RET (Rearranged during Transcription) oncogene, KIF5B-RET, was found in 1-2% of lung adenocarcinomas (LADCs) in 2012. Several related clinical trials for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with KIF5B-RET rearrangements using existing RET inhibitors, such as cabozantinib, lenvatinib, vandetanib, sunitinib, ponatinib, and AUY922, have been swiftly initiated by the discovery of the KIF5B-RET fusion gene. Anti-RET activity and the status of clinical development of cabozantinib for KIF5B-RET fusion-positive NSCLC are discussed.
2012 年,发现 1%-2%的肺腺癌(LADCs)中存在 KIF5B(驱动蛋白家族 5B 基因)和 RET(转录过程中重排)癌基因的新型嵌合融合转录本 KIF5B-RET。发现 KIF5B-RET 融合基因后,迅速启动了几项针对 KIF5B-RET 重排的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的相关临床试验,这些临床试验使用了现有的 RET 抑制剂,如卡博替尼、仑伐替尼、凡德他尼、舒尼替尼、波那替尼和 AUY922。本文讨论了卡博替尼对 KIF5B-RET 融合阳性 NSCLC 的抗 RET 活性和临床开发状况。
