Inavolisib, sold under the brand name Itovebi, is an anti-cancer medication used for the treatment of breast cancer. [1] [2] It is a inhibitor and degrader of mutant phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) alpha. [3] The PI3K-mediated signalling pathway has shown to play an important role in the development of tumours as dysregulation is commonly associated with tumour growth and resistance to antineoplastic agents and radiotherapy. [4]

Contents

The most common adverse reactions include decreased neutrophils, decreased hemoglobin, increased fasting glucose, decreased platelets, decreased lymphocytes, stomatitis, diarrhea, decreased calcium, fatigue, decreased potassium, increased creatinine, increased ALT, nausea, decreased sodium, decreased magnesium, rash, decreased appetite, COVID-19 infection, and headache. [2]

Inavolisib was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of PIK3CA-mutant breast cancer in October 2024. [2] [5]

Medical uses

Inavolisib is indicated in combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant for the treatment of adults with endocrine-resistant, PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, as detected by an FDA-approved test, following recurrence on or after completing adjuvant endocrine therapy. [2]

Side effects

The most common adverse reactions include decreased neutrophils, decreased hemoglobin, increased fasting glucose, decreased platelets, decreased lymphocytes, stomatitis, diarrhea, decreased calcium, fatigue, decreased potassium, increased creatinine, increased ALT, nausea, decreased sodium, decreased magnesium, rash, decreased appetite, COVID-19 infection, and headache. [2]

History

Efficacy was evaluated in INAVO120 (NCT04191499), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial in 325 participants with endocrine-resistant, PIK3CA-mutated HR-positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose disease progressed during or within twelve months of completing adjuvant endocrine therapy and who had not received prior systemic therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease. [2] Primary endocrine resistance was defined as relapse while on the first two years of adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) and secondary endocrine resistance was defined as relapse while on adjuvant ET after at least two years or relapse within twelve months of completing adjuvant ET. [2]

Structure, reactivity, and synthesis

Inavolisib is a synthetic, organic, small compound (the full structure can be seen here). [6] When binding to phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit alpha (p110α), inavolisib’s carbonyl group can accept a hydrogen bond from the Tyr836 (conserved) in p110α. The difluoromethyl group can interact with the hydroxyl group presented on Ser774 (conserved) in p110α, which is 3.2Å nearer than of which on the equivalent residue Ser754 in p110δ. Additionally, the amide group can interact with Gln859 (non-conserved). This results in a very high selectivity regarding PI3Kα isoforms. [3] [7]

Compared to similar PI3K inhibiting compounds, inavolisib has a higher thermodynamic aqueous solubility that proved advantageous in the formulation process and aiding greater consistency in predictions of absorption. [3]

Inavolisibcan be developed as a derivative of 1,3-oxazole [8] or by means of stereo-controlled N-arylation of alpha-amino acids. [9]

Metabolism and biotransformation

Inavolisib is orally administered, though there is little knowledge about its metabolism. [10] [ unreliable medical source? ] However, absorption, metabolism, and excretion data of taselisib, a molecule with a related chemical scaffold, suggest moderately slow absorption into the systemic circulation, metabolism to play a minor role in drug clearance, and biliary excretion to be the main route of excretion. [11]

Molecular mechanisms of action

Inavolisib is a selective PI3K-p110α (PIK3CA) inhibitor, which may offer antineoplastic functionality. [6] Therefore, it may serve as a new addition to combination therapy with conventional cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy. Combining inavolisib with palbociclib and fulvestrant might improve treatment of breast cancer. [12]

Next to its inhibitory enzymatic ability, it is suggested that inavolisib binds to - and activates degradation of - mutated forms of p110α. Members of the PI3K family regulate cellular processes such as cell growth and proliferation, survival, remodelling, and intracellular transport of organelles. [13] PI3K also plays an essential role for the immune system.

The class I isoform PI3K alpha (PI3Kα) is often times expressed in solid tumours through gene amplification or activated mutations. [3] Mutations in PI3Kα can often be found in cancer cells, especially HR+ breast cancer, which causes a disruption of the PI3K pathway. This leads to increased tumour growth and metastasis. One of the most common mutations can be found in PIK3CA, which plays a significant role in tumour cell proliferation.

In preclinical studies, inavolisib has shown to specifically initiate the degradation of this p110α oncogene with the help of proteasomes. [14] After binding to the mutant PI3Kα, inavolisib blocks phosphorylation of PIP2 to PIP3, thereby stopping downstream signalling. [15]

Consequently, biomarkers in the PI3K pathway are reduced, cell proliferation inhibited, and the rate of PIK3CA-mutant breast cancer apoptosis increased (in comparison to the wild type). The exact mechanism of action of inhibitors like inavolisib on mutated PI3Kα and the inhibitors' influence on mutant structures are still unknown. [16]

Toxicity

Inavolisib is able to induce a cytotoxic response but this is directed towards tumour cells that contain the PI3K mutation, thereby inhibiting further tumour growth and leading to cell loss. [17]

Society and culture

In October 2024, the US Food and Drug Administration FDA approved inavolisib for the treatment of PIK3CA-mutant breast cancer based on the results from the INAVO120 trial. [2] [18] [19] The drug application was granted priority review and breakthrough therapy designations by the FDA. [2] [5] [20]

Names

Inavolisib is the international nonproprietary name. [21] [22]

Inavolisib is sold under the brand name Itovebi. [2]

Research

Due to inavolisib’s ability to inhibit the PI3K pathway through HER2-dependent degradation, it is undergoing clinical trials to potentially make use of it as an antineoplastic (anti-cancer) drug to treat breast cancer. [3] [23] [15]

Gefitinib, sold under the brand name Iressa, is a medication used for certain breast, lung and other cancers. Gefitinib is an EGFR inhibitor, like erlotinib, which interrupts signaling through the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in target cells. Therefore, it is only effective in cancers with mutated and overactive EGFR, but resistances to gefitinib can arise through other mutations. It is marketed by AstraZeneca and Teva.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Targeted therapy</span> Type of therapy

Targeted therapy or molecularly targeted therapy is one of the major modalities of medical treatment (pharmacotherapy) for cancer, others being hormonal therapy and cytotoxic chemotherapy. As a form of molecular medicine, targeted therapy blocks the growth of cancer cells by interfering with specific targeted molecules needed for carcinogenesis and tumor growth, rather than by simply interfering with all rapidly dividing cells. Because most agents for targeted therapy are biopharmaceuticals, the term biologic therapy is sometimes synonymous with targeted therapy when used in the context of cancer therapy. However, the modalities can be combined; antibody-drug conjugates combine biologic and cytotoxic mechanisms into one targeted therapy.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor</span>

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors are a class of medical drugs that are mainly used to treat advanced cancers. They function by inhibiting one or more of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) enzymes, which are part of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. This signal pathway regulates cellular functions such as growth and survival. It is strictly regulated in healthy cells, but is always active in many cancer cells, allowing the cancer cells to better survive and multiply. PI3K inhibitors block the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and thus slow down cancer growth. They are examples of a targeted therapy. While PI3K inhibitors are an effective treatment, they can have very severe side effects and are therefore only used if other treatments have failed or are not suitable.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway</span> Cell cycle regulation pathway

The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is an intracellular signaling pathway important in regulating the cell cycle. Therefore, it is directly related to cellular quiescence, proliferation, cancer, and longevity. PI3K activation phosphorylates and activates AKT, localizing it in the plasma membrane. AKT can have a number of downstream effects such as activating CREB, inhibiting p27, localizing FOXO in the cytoplasm, activating PtdIns-3ps, and activating mTOR which can affect transcription of p70 or 4EBP1. There are many known factors that enhance the PI3K/AKT pathway including EGF, shh, IGF-1, insulin, and calmodulin. Both leptin and insulin recruit PI3K signalling for metabolic regulation. The pathway is antagonized by various factors including PTEN, GSK3B, and HB9.

A CDK inhibitor is any chemical that inhibits the function of CDKs. They are used to treat cancers by preventing overproliferation of cancer cells. The US FDA approved the first drug of this type, palbociclib (Ibrance), a CDK4/6 inhibitor, in February 2015, for use in postmenopausal women with breast cancer that is estrogen receptor positive and HER2 negative. While there are multiple cyclin/CDK complexes regulating the cell cycle, CDK inhibitors targeting CDK4/6 have been the most successful; four CDK4/6 inhibitors have been FDA approved. No inhibitors targeting other CDKs have been FDA approved, but several compounds are in clinical trials.

mTOR inhibitors Class of pharmaceutical drugs

mTOR inhibitors are a class of drugs used to treat several human diseases, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and neurodegeneration. They function by inhibiting the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase that belongs to the family of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) related kinases (PIKKs). mTOR regulates cellular metabolism, growth, and proliferation by forming and signaling through two protein complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. The most established mTOR inhibitors are so-called rapalogs, which have shown tumor responses in clinical trials against various tumor types.

A MEK inhibitor is a chemical or drug that inhibits the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase enzymes MEK1 and/or MEK2. They can be used to affect the MAPK/ERK pathway which is often overactive in some cancers.
