Preferred Label : EGFR Mutant-selective Inhibitor BLU-701;
NCIt synonyms : EGFR Inhibitor BLU-701; EGFR TKI BLU-701;
NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable, mutant-selective, fourth-generation epidermal growth factor
receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration,
EGFR mutant-selective inhibitor BLU-701 targets, reversibly binds to and inhibits
the activity of the activating/ sensitizing mutations EGFR exon 19 deletion (ex19del)
and L858R, and the C797S resistance EGFR mutations, including the resistance double
mutants ex19del/C797S and L858R/C797S. This prevents EGFR mutant-mediated signaling.
This may both induce cell death and inhibit tumor growth in EGFR mutant-overexpressing
tumor cells. EGFR, a receptor tyrosine kinase mutated in many tumors, plays a key
role in tumor cell proliferation and tumor vascularization. BLU-701 is able to penetrate
the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) and could exert its activity against CNS metastases
in EGFR-driven tumors. BLU-701 does not inhibit the activity of wild-type (WT) EGFR.;
