Tagraxofusp – Elzonris® (USA)

According to the NCI website, Tagraxofusp is a recombinant protein consisting of human interleukin 3 (IL3) fused to the first 388 amino acids of diphtheria toxin [DT(388)] (DT388IL3) with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon intravenous administration, the IL3 moiety of the tagraxofusp-erzs binds to IL3 receptors on cells expressing the receptor. Subsequently, the DT(388) toxin moiety, which contains both translocation and catalytic domains, is transported across the cell membrane via endocytosis. Within the cytosol, the catalytic domain of the toxin both catalyzes the ADP-ribosylation of, and inactivates, translation elongation factor 2 (EF-2), which results in the inhibition of translation during protein synthesis. IL3 may be overexpressed by a variety of cancers, including blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Check for active clinical trials using this agent.

Monoclonal Antibodies

Trastuzumab Deruxtecan – ENHERTU® (USA)

According to the NCI website, fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (ERBB2; EGFR2; HER2) conjugated to deruxtecan, a derivative of the camptothecin analog exatecan (DXd; DX-8951 derivative), a DNA topoisomerase 1 (topoisomerase I; Top1) inhibitor, with antineoplastic activity. Upon administration of trastuzumab deruxtecan, trastuzumab targets and binds to HER2 on tumor cells. Upon antibody/antigen binding and internalization, fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki binds to and inhibits Top1-DNA complexes, which results in an inhibition of DNA replication, cell cycle arrest and tumor cell apoptosis. HER2, a tyrosine kinase receptor, is overexpressed by many cancer cell types. Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)

Indikation gemäss NCI webite:

  • Breast cancerthat is HER2 positive and cannot be removed by surgery or has metastasized (spread to other parts of the body). It is used in adults who have already received at least two anti-HER2 treatments for metastatic disease.

This use is approved under FDA’s Accelerated Approval Program. As a condition of approval, a confirmatory trial(s) must show that fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki provides a clinical benefit in these patients.

Trastuzumab Emtasine – KADCYLA®

According to the NCI website, ado trastuzumab emtansine is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of the recombinant anti-epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) monoclonal antibody trastuzumab conjugated to the maytansinoid DM1 via a nonreducible thioether linkage (MCC) with potential antineoplastic activity. The trastuzumab moiety of this ADC binds to HER2 on tumor cell surface surfaces; upon internalization, the DM1 moiety is released and binds to tubulin, thereby disrupting microtubule assembly/disassembly dynamics and inhibiting cell division and the proliferation of cancer cells that overexpress HER2. Linkage of antibody and drug through a nonreducible linker has been reported to contribute to the improved efficacy and reduced toxicity of this ADC compared to similar ADCs constructed with reducible linkers. Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)

Tremelimumab

According to the NCI website, Tremelimumab is a human immunoglobulin (Ig) G2 monoclonal antibody directed against the human T-cell receptor protein cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4), with potential immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities. Tremelimumab binds to CTLA4 on activated T-lymphocytes and blocks the binding of the antigen-presenting cell ligands B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86) to CTLA4, resulting in inhibition of CTLA4-mediated downregulation of T-cell activation. This promotes the interaction of B7-1 and B7-2 with another T-cell surface receptor protein CD28, and results in a B7-CD28-mediated T-cell activation that is unopposed by CTLA4-mediated inhibition. This leads to a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated immune response against cancer cells. CTLA4, an inhibitory receptor and member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, plays a key role in the downregulation of the immune system. Check for active clinical trials using this agent.

Trifluridin/Tipiracil - LONSURF®

Trifluridin/Tipiracil - Lonsurf® ist ein oral bioverfügbares Kombinationsmittel, bestehend aus dem zytotoxischen Pyrimidinanalog Trifluridin (5-Trifluor-2'-deoxythymidin oder TFT) und einem Thymidinphosphorylase-Inhibitor (TPI) Tipiracil-Hydrochlorid, in einem Molverhältnis von 1,0: 0,5 (TFT: TPI), mit potentielle antineoplastische Aktivität. Nach oraler Verabreichung von Trifluridin und Tipiracilhydrochlorid wird TFT zu der aktiven Monophosphatform TF-TMP phosphoryliert, die kovalent an die aktive Stelle der Thymidylatsynthase bindet, wodurch die für die DNA-Replikation erforderlichen Nukleotidpoolspiegel reduziert werden. Darüber hinaus kann die Triphosphatform TF-TTP in die DNA eingebaut werden, die DNA-Fragmentierung induziert und zur Hemmung des Tumorwachstums führt. TPI zeigt eine doppelte Wirkung: 1) einen antiangiogenen Effekt, der durch die Inhibierung von Thymidinphosphorylase vermittelt wird, die eine wichtige Rolle im Nukleotidstoffwechsel und einer Vielzahl von Entwicklungsprozessen einschließlich Angiogenese spielt, 2) erhöhte Bioverfügbarkeit des normalerweise kurzlebigen Antimetaboliten TFT durch Verhinderung seines Abbaus in die inaktive Form Trifluorthymin (TF-Thy). Die synergistische Wirkung der Komponenten in TAS-10 kann eine Antitumoraktivität in 5-FU-resistenten Krebszellen zeigen.

Indikationen/Anwendungsmöglichkeiten gemäss Compendium®:

  • Lonsurf® ist indiziert zur Behandlung erwachsener Patienten mit metastasiertem kolorektalem Karzinom (mKRK), die bereits mit verfügbaren Therapien behandelt wurden. Zu diesen Therapien zählen Fluoropyrimidin-, Oxaliplatin- und Irinotecan-basierte Chemotherapien, Anti-VEGF-Therapien und, bei Patienten mit nicht mutiertem KRAS-Status (Wildtyp), Anti-EGFR-Therapien.
