Project description:PurposeROS1 rearrangement leads to constitutive ROS1 activation with potent transforming activity. In an ongoing phase I trial, the ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) crizotinib shows remarkable initial responses in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring ROS1 fusions; however, cancers eventually develop crizotinib resistance due to acquired mutations such as G2032R in ROS1. Thus, understanding the crizotinib-resistance mechanisms in ROS1-rearranged NSCLC and identification of therapeutic strategies to overcome the resistance are required.Experimental designThe sensitivity of CD74-ROS1-transformed Ba/F3 cells to multiple ALK inhibitors was examined. Acquired ROS1 inhibitor-resistant mutations in CD74-ROS1 fusion were screened by N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis with Ba/F3 cells. To overcome the resistance mutation, we performed high-throughput drug screening with small-molecular inhibitors and anticancer drugs used in clinical practice or being currently tested in clinical trials. The effect of the identified drug was assessed in the CD74-ROS1-mutant Ba/F3 cells and crizotinib-resistant patient-derived cancer cells (MGH047) harboring G2032R-mutated CD74-ROS1.ResultsWe identified multiple novel crizotinib-resistance mutations in the ROS1 kinase domain, including the G2032R mutation. As the result of high-throughput drug screening, we found that the cMET/RET/VEGFR inhibitor cabozantinib (XL184) effectively inhibited the survival of CD74-ROS1 wild-type (WT) and resistant mutants harboring Ba/F3 and MGH047 cells. Furthermore, cabozantinib could overcome all the resistance by all newly identified secondary mutations.ConclusionsWe developed a comprehensive model of acquired resistance to ROS1 inhibitors in NSCLC with ROS1 rearrangement and identified cabozantinib as a therapeutic strategy to overcome the resistance.

Project description:Despite the initial benefit of tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting ROS1 fusion kinase in non-small cell lung cancer, the complete responses are rare and resistance ultimately develops from residual tumor cells. Although several acquired resistance mechanisms after disease progression have been reported, the adaptative resistance mechanism that contributes to residual diseases before the onset of acquired resistance is less clear. Cellular adaption through the signaling rewiring under primary oncogene inhibition is considered a major mechanism contributing to residual disease. To explore the rapid signaling reprogramming under acute ROS1 inhibition, we treated a panel of ROS1 fusion-positive cells, mostly derived in our lab, with crizotinib for 24 hours and profiled transcriptional changes by RNA-seq. Understanding the molecular mechanism that supports residual disease could help us better target and eliminate drug-tolerant cells, thus improving the responses to ROS1 targeted therapies.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common malignant brain tumor. Drug resistance frequently develops in these tumors during chemotherapy. Therefore, predicting drug response in these patients remains a major challenge in the clinic. Thus, to improve the clinical outcome, more effective and tolerable combination treatment strategies are needed. Robust experimental evidence has shown that the main reason for failure of treatments is signal redundancy due to coactivation of several functionally linked receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), including anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), c-Met (hepatocyte growth factor receptor), and oncogenic c-ros oncogene1 (ROS1: RTK class orphan) fusion kinase FIG (fused in GB)-ROS1. As such, these could be attractive targets for GB therapy. The study subjects consisted of 19 patients who underwent neurosurgical resection of GB tissues. Our in vitro and ex vivo models promisingly demonstrated that treatments with crizotinib (PF-02341066: dual ALK/c-Met inhibitor) and temozolomide in combination induced synergistic antitumor activity on FIG-ROS1-positive GB cells. Our results also showed that ex vivo FIG-ROS1+ slices (obtained from GB patients) when cultured were able to preserve tissue architecture, cell viability, and global gene-expression profiles for up to 14 days. Both in vitro and ex vivo studies indicated that combination blockade of FIG, p-ROS1, p-ALK, and p-Met augmented apoptosis, which mechanistically involves activation of Bim and inhibition of survivin, p-Akt, and Mcl-1 expression. However, it is important to note that we did not see any significant synergistic effect of crizotinib and temozolomide on FIG-ROS1-negative GB cells. Thus, these ex vivo culture results will have a significant impact on patient selection for clinical trials and in predicting response to crizotinib and temozolomide therapy. Further studies in different animal models of FIG-ROS1-positive GB cells are warranted to determine useful therapies for the management of human GBs.

Project description:IntroductionC-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1) translocation is an oncogenic driver-mutation identified in 1-2% of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases. Although crizotinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) against ALK/ROS1, is known to be effective against ROS1-fusion-positive NSCLC, such cases sometimes progress with brain metastases. The most frequently reported crizotinib-resistance mutation is ROS1 G2032R, and some studies have found that even newly developed ROS1 TKIs, such as entrectinib and lorlatinib, show a decreased efficacy against it. The optimal therapies for ROS1-fusion-positive NSCLC and how such cases can be sequenced have not yet been established.Case presentationWe herein report a patient with ROS1-fusion-positive NSCLC diagnosed at 34 years old. Crizotinib was started at the diagnosis and switched after 25 months to cisplatin/pemetrexed/bevacizumab once the disease progressed with multiple brain metastases that were resistant to stereotactic radiation therapy. The cytotoxic chemotherapy stabilized the patient's condition for 17 months until he developed leptomeningeal metastasis (LM). He underwent lumboperitoneal shunting and whole-brain radiotherapy, followed by crizotinib re-administration. Despite crizotinib treatment, his neurological symptoms, such as double vision, headache, weakness in the legs, and walking difficulties, progressed. Eventually, subsequent entrectinib treatment was initiated, which resolved all of the symptoms mentioned above. Regrettably, liquid next-generation sequencing had failed to detect the resistance mechanism due to minimal ctDNA in this case.ConclusionThese findings imply that sequential entrectinib administration may be effective in patients with disease progression limited to central nervous system metastases during crizotinib administration.

Project description:PurposeCurrent standard initial therapy for advanced, ROS proto-oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase fusion (ROS1)-positive (ROS1+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is crizotinib or entrectinib. Lorlatinib, a next-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase/ROS1 inhibitor, recently demonstrated efficacy in ROS1+ NSCLC, including in crizotinib-pretreated patients. However, mechanisms of lorlatinib resistance in ROS1+ disease remain poorly understood. Here, we assessed mechanisms of resistance to crizotinib and lorlatinib.Experimental designBiopsies from patients with ROS1 + NSCLC progressing on crizotinib or lorlatinib were profiled by genetic sequencing.ResultsFrom 55 patients, 47 post-crizotinib and 32 post-lorlatinib biopsies were assessed. Among 42 post-crizotinib and 28 post-lorlatinib biopsies analyzed at distinct timepoints, ROS1 mutations were identified in 38% and 46%, respectively. ROS1 G2032R was the most commonly occurring mutation in approximately one third of cases. Additional ROS1 mutations included D2033N (2.4%) and S1986F (2.4%) post-crizotinib and L2086F (3.6%), G2032R/L2086F (3.6%), G2032R/S1986F/L2086F (3.6%), and S1986F/L2000V (3.6%) post-lorlatinib. Structural modeling predicted ROS1L2086F causes steric interference to lorlatinib, crizotinib, and entrectinib, while it may accommodate cabozantinib. In Ba/F3 models, ROS1L2086F, ROS1G2032R/L2086F, and ROS1S1986F/G2032R/L2086F were refractory to lorlatinib but sensitive to cabozantinib. A patient with disease progression on crizotinib and lorlatinib and ROS1 L2086F received cabozantinib for nearly 11 months with disease control. Among lorlatinib-resistant biopsies, we also identified MET amplification (4%), KRAS G12C (4%), KRAS amplification (4%), NRAS mutation (4%), and MAP2K1 mutation (4%).ConclusionsROS1 mutations mediate resistance to crizotinib and lorlatinib in more than one third of cases, underscoring the importance of developing next-generation ROS1 inhibitors with potency against these mutations, including G2032R and L2086F. Continued efforts are needed to elucidate ROS1-independent resistance mechanisms.

Project description:BackgroundNext-generation sequencing has identified actionable genetic aberrations in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (iCCA), including the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusions. Derazantinib (ARQ 087), an orally bioavailable, multi-kinase inhibitor with potent pan-FGFR activity, has shown preliminary therapeutic activity against FGFR2 fusion-positive iCCA.MethodsThis multicentre, phase 1/2, open-label study enrolled adult patients with unresectable iCCA with FGFR2 fusion, who progressed, were intolerant or not eligible to first-line chemotherapy (NCT01752920). Subjects received derazantinib in continuous daily doses. Tumour response was assessed according to RECIST 1.1 every 8 weeks.ResultsTwenty-nine patients (18 women/11 men; median age, 58.7 years), 2 treatment-naive and 27 who progressed after at least one prior systemic therapy, were enrolled. Overall response rate was 20.7%, disease control rate was 82.8%. Estimated median progression-free survival was 5.7 months (95% CI: 4.04-9.2 months). Treatment-related adverse events (AE) were observed in 27 patients (93.1%, all grades), including asthenia/fatigue (69.0%), eye toxicity (41.4%), and hyperphosphatemia (75.9%). Grade ≥ 3 AEs occurred in 8 patients (27.6%).ConclusionDerazantinib demonstrated encouraging anti-tumour activity and a manageable safety profile in patients with advanced, unresectable iCCA with FGFR2 fusion who progressed after chemotherapy. A pivotal trial of derazantinib in iCCA is ongoing (NCT03230318).

Project description:Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains a deadly malignancy lacking systemic therapies for advanced disease. Recent advancements include selective FGFR1-3 inhibitors for the 15% of ICC patients harboring fusions, although survival is limited by poor response and resistance. Herein we report generation of a patient-derived FGFR2 fusion-positive ICC model system consisting of a cell line, organoid, and xenograft, which have undergone complete histologic, genomic, and phenotypic characterization, including testing standard-of-care systemic therapies. Using these FGFR2 fusion-positive ICC models, we conducted an unbiased high-throughput small molecule screen to prioritize combination strategies with FGFR inhibition, from which HDAC inhibition together with pemigatinib was validated in vitro and in vivo as a synergistic therapy for ICC. Additionally, we demonstrate broad utility of the FGFR/HDAC combination for other FGFR fusion-positive solid tumors. These data are directly translatable and justify early phase trials to establish dosing, safety, and therapeutic efficacy of this synergistic combination.

Project description:The grammar in this abstract is generally correct, but there's a minor issue with sentence structure in one part. Here's a slightly revised version with improved grammar and flow:ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are highly effective in ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer, but resistance remains a challenge. We investigated the activity of various TKIs against wildtype and mutant ROS1, focusing on the emerging L2086F resistance mutation. Using Ba/F3 and NIH3T3 cell models, CRISPR/Cas9-edited isogenic wildtype and mutant patient-derived cell lines, and in vivo tumor growth studies, we compared type I TKIs (crizotinib, entrectinib, taletrectinib, lorlatinib, and repotrectinib) to type II TKIs (cabozantinib and merestinib) and the type I FLT3 inhibitor gilteritinib. The ROS1 L2086F mutant kinase showed resistance to type I TKIs, while type II TKIs retained activity. Gilteritinib inhibited both wildtype and L2086F mutant ROS1 but was ineffective against the G2032R mutation. Structural analyses revealed distinct binding poses for cabozantinib and gilteritinib, explaining their efficacy against L2086F. Clinical cases demonstrated cabozantinib's effectiveness in patients with TKI-resistant, ROS1 L2086F mutant NSCLCs. This study provides the first comprehensive report of ROS1 L2086F in the context of later-generation TKIs, including macrocyclic inhibitors. While cabozantinib effectively inhibits ROS1 L2086F, its multi-kinase inhibitor nature highlights the need for more selective and better-tolerated TKIs to overcome kinase-intrinsic resistance. Gilteritinib may offer an alternative for targeting ROS1 L2086F with distinct off-target toxicities, but further studies are required to fully evaluate its potential in this setting.

Project description:IntroductionPatients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring ROS proto-oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase gene (ROS1) chromosomal rearrangements benefit from treatment with the ROS1 inhibitor crizotinib. Limited data exist on the spectrum of resistance mechanisms in ROS1-positive NSCLC. To delineate mechanisms of acquired resistance, we analyzed biopsy samples of tumor lesions that progressed while patients were receiving crizotinib.MethodsAn activating mutation in the KIT proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT) (p.D816G) was identified by SNaPshot sequencing in a tumor sample from a patient with ROS1-positive NSCLC identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization whose disease progressed after initial response to crizotinib. In vitro studies included evaluation of KIT mRNA expression by quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reactions, transduction of Ba/F3 cells and NSCLC cell lines with KIT-expressing lentiviral plasmids, immunoblotting, and cellular proliferation assays.ResultsKIT(D816G) is an activating mutation that induces autophosphorylation and cell proliferation. Expression of the mutant KIT(D816G) receptor in ROS1-positive NSCLC cell lines led to constitutively activated KIT as measured by phosphorylation of the KIT receptor. Expression of the KIT(D816G) rendered the HCC78 and CUTO2 cell lines resistant to crizotinib, and only dual inhibition of ROS1 and KIT with crizotinib and ponatinib could resensitize the cells to inhibition of proliferation. The oncogenic switch observed in ROS1-positive cell lines was not immediate and required pharmacologic inactivation of ROS1.ConclusionsActivation of KIT by a gain-of-function somatic mutation is a novel mechanism of resistance to crizotinib in ROS1-rearranged NSCLC. This bypass signaling pathway serves as a ROS1-independent mechanism of resistance, similarly to previously identified epidermal growth factor receptor or Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog/neuroblastoma RAS viral oncogene homolog signaling pathways, and can potentially be targeted by KIT inhibitors.
