Introducing the Momentum of the Next-Generation “Pan-Cancer” Targeted Therapy ICP-723 of China
ICP-723
On April 11, 2022, InnoCare Pharma unveiled the preclinical data of ICP-723. The research results demonstrate that ICP-723 effectively inhibits the kinase activity of TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC (IC50 value less than 1 nM). Not only does ICP-723 exhibit potent in vitro efficacy in TRK-driven tumors, but it also overcomes resistance mutations commonly seen after treatment with first-generation TRK inhibitors, such as TRKA G595R and TRKC G623R/E.
TGI 89.5%
Further in vivo efficacy studies have confirmed the robust anti-tumor effect of ICP-723 in animal models. At a dosage of 1 mg/kg, ICP-723 achieves a tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) of 89.5% in the KM12 tumor model. With high oral bioavailability, ICP-723 demonstrates overall favorable pharmacokinetic parameters.
Next-Generation NTRK Inhibitor
ICP-723, a Chinese developed next-generation NTRK inhibitor, holds promise in treating advanced or metastatic solid tumors harboring NTRK fusion genes, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, thyroid cancer, and patients resistant to first-generation NTRK inhibitors like larotrectinib and entrectinib.
On August 31, 2021, InnoCare Pharma announced the Investigational New Drug (IND) approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate Phase I clinical trials of its second-generation pan-TRK inhibitor ICP-723 in the United States.
In the major financial performance report released by InnoCare Pharma in 2022, the efficacy of ICP-723 was also disclosed.
