Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
Merestinib (LY2801653) has reached Phase 2 clinical development as a potential therapeutuc to treat various solid tumours. It is being evaluated as a single agent in Phase 2 clinical trial NCT02920996 (for NSCLC with MET transformation or other advanced solid tumours with NTRK1, 2, or 3 rearrangements), and in combination with other oncotherapeutics in separate trials.
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
The proto-oncogene c-Met is overexpressed or mutated in many tumours where its dysregulated signalling plays key roles in cellular proliferation, survival, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis of the developing tumour. Merestinib binds to c-Met and inhibits its signalling capacity.
