Resistance to TK inhibitors:KIT and PDGFRA Maria Debiec-Rychter, M.D., Ph.D. Center for Human Genetics, KULeuven, Belgium ESMO meeting Milan, May 13th, 2008
Resistance to Imatinib in GISTs • Primary resistance • <180 days of therapy without initial objective response • ~10-20% of patients • Secondary resistance • >180 days of therapy and intial objective response • Median time to tumor progression: 20-24 months
Primary Resistance to Imatinib in GISTs • 10-20% of patients • Response to Imatinib relates to mutational profile of the tumor and not to detectable KIT expression
In vitro studies: primary resistance 5-10% 80-85% PDGFRA Ligand-binding domain KIT Exon 9: 13% M Membrane Exon 12: 1.5% Exon 11: 66% M M Exon 14: 0.3% M Exon 13: 1.2% M Cytoplasm Exon 18: 5.6% Exon 17:0.6% M M Sensitivity to imatinib depends on the type and the location of KIT and PDGFRA mutations: some activation loop domain mutations are intrinsic imatinib-resistant Corless et al., J Clin Oncol 2004

Clinical Studies: Primary Resistance to Imatinib +/- 10-20% of patients Relates to the mutational profile of the tumor: • ~30%KIT exon 9 (dose dependent) • PDGFRAD842V mutant • Majority of Wild-Type GISTs: • Pediatric GISTs (Carney Triad) • Carney-Stratiakis dyad • NF1 GISTs • Adult Wild-Type GISTs
Secondary Resistance • secondary mutation in KIT or PDGFRA resulting in strong phosphorylation: new mutations may differ within given nodule and in various metastatic sites! Majority of cases: ~80% • genomic amplification and overexpression of KIT/PDGFRA without new point mutations • loss of KIT expression, accompanied by activation of an alternative tyrosine kinase or or other (onco)gene(?)

Heterogeneity of Imatinib-Resistant Mutations in GISTs KIT D560V / T670I KIT D560V KIT D560V / D820Y KIT D560V / V654A KIT D560V / D823Y KIT D560V / V654A None of the second-line TK inhibitor is effective against all imatinib-resistant mutations
Strategies to overcome the problem of heterogeneous imatinib-resistant mutations in GISTs • To enhance the cellular degradation of constitutively activated KIT and PDGFRA oncoproteins • To inhibit KIT or PDGFRA receptor and signaling pathways proteins that utilise shared signalling pathways with KIT/PDGFRA • PI3K/AKT • RAS/RAF/MAPK • PKC
