With two ROS1-positive patients remaining on treatment for more than 2 years, we believe the results we announced today further distinguish repotrectinib, and are supportive of our ongoing, multi-cohort registrational Phase 2 TRIDENT-1 Study."With TPX-0046, we have demonstrated strong preclinical potency in Ba/F3 cells with the mutated KIF5B RET fusion gene and against multiple solvent front mutations that may arise from other investigational RET inhibitors and lead to treatment resistance.

For RET-positive patients, kinesin family member 5B (KIF5B) and coiled-coil domain containing 6 (CCDC6) were the partners identified.

Recent research has also revealed that RET and KIF5B gene fusion (gene mutation) occurs in some lung cancer patients, which means that RET tyrosine kinase inhibitors may potentially be used in the treatment of lung cancer patients with this gene mutation.
(12) In addition to EML4, less common fusion partners have been described, including TRK-fused gene (TFG), kinesin light chain 1 (KLC1), and kinesin family member 5B (KIF5B), although the clinical relevance of the different fusion partners is unknown.
Furthermore, in addition to EML4, other ALK fusion partners have been reported, such as TRK-fused gene (TGF), kinesin family member 5B (KIF5B), and kinesin light chain 1 (KLC1).
As with ALK and ROS1 rearrangements, RET is activated by rearrangements that fuse the tyrosine kinase domain of RET with coiled-coil dimerization domains of one of a variety of recurring partner genes, including KIF5B (the most common, at 90%), (64,72,73) CCDC6, (65,74) NCOA (4,62) and TRIM33.
