Amuvatinib (formerly known as MP470) is an oral multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which play critical roles in transducing growth signals to cancer cells. It suppresses c-MET, c-RET and the mutant forms of cKIT, PDGFR and FLT3. It also disrupts DNA repair likely through suppression of homologous recombination protein Rad51, an important survival pathway in many human cancers. In vitro and in vivo data have demonstrated amuvatinib synergy with DNA damaging agents including etoposide and doxorubicin. Overall, in the amuvatinib clinical development program, over 200 subjects were exposed to at least one dose of amuvatinib. In the Phase 1b clinical study in combination with carboplatin and etoposide, responses in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), neuroendocrine as well as other tumor types were observed. Human pharmacokinetic data suggest that co-administration of amuvatinib did not alter exposures of standard of care agents including carboplatin, etoposide, doxorubicin, paclitaxel, topotecan or erlotinib as measured by overall exposure. In the first-in-human study, durable clinical benefit was observed in the gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) with modulation of Rad51 observed in skin punch biopsies. In clinical trials, amuvatinib has demonstrated a wide therapeutic window and shows minimal toxicity in the expected therapeutic dose range, despite suppressing several signaling pathways within cells. However, in spite of this, this drug was discontinued, because it was not pre-specified primary endpoints in the clinical proof of concept (cPOC) stage. But the combination of MP470 and Erlotinib, which target the HER family/PI3K/Akt pathway may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for prostate cancer.
