Synthetic organic
Comment: Pralsetinib (BLU-667) is a second-generation selective RET kinase inhibitor that is being developed by Blueprint Medicines [2]. It is Compound 130 in patent US20170121312A1 and our structure was drawn from the image therein [1]. Selective RET inhibitors have oncology potential for the treatment of solid tumours with oncogenic RET alterations (e.g. constitutively activating RET point mutations and RET gene rearrangements). They are expected to offer more effective anti-tumour efficacy in RET-driven tumours than the currently available multi-kinase inhibitors (such as cabozantinib and vandetanib) that have limited anti-RET activity, and which have exhibited poor therapeutic responses in this defined patient group.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
Pralsetinib (BLU-667) has advanced to clinical evaluation as a treatment for RET-altered solid tumours. Click here to link to ClinicalTrials.gov's full list of BLU-667 studies, including the Phase 3 study (AcceleRET) in patients with RET fusion-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Based on positive outcomes identified by independent review of top-line data from the Phase 1/2 ARROW clinical trial (NCT03037385), Blueprint Medicines submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA in January 2020, for pralsetinib to be considered for regulatory approval for RET fusion-positive NSCLC. A second NDA for pralsetinib for the treatment of patients with medullary thyroid cancer (who have received previous treatment with an approved multi-kinase inhibitor) followed later in 2020. In September 2020, FDA accelarated approval was granted for patients with RET-mutant NSCLCs (based on results from the ARROW trial, and approval for use in certain RET-mutant medullary thyroid cancers and RET fusion-positive thyroid cancers followed in December 2020. Full (regular) FDA approval for RET-mutant NSCLC was issued in August 2023. |
