EphA2 is a cell-guidance receptor that many solid tumours overexpress; dasatinib and regorafenib block it among their many kinase targets, and it is being tested as an antibody-drug conjugate and CAR-T target. This dossier gathers the 1 product (1 approved), 7 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
A receptor tyrosine kinase for ephrin-A ligands; ligand binding suppresses growth signalling, while unliganded EphA2 phosphorylated by AKT drives motility.
| Cancer | Prevalence | Measure | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metastatic cancer | all% | Signalling protein present in most cells (EphA2 receptor, over-expressed in many solid tumours without a selecting mutation); drugs act on the pathway rather than on a mutation that selects patients, so no prevalence applies. |
Approximate, population-level figures; the measure column says what was counted. Ranges show the midpoint as a bar.

| 3 | Completed | A Phase III Randomized Trial for Newly Diagnosed High Risk B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) Including a Stratum Evaluating Dasatinib (NSC#732517) in Patients With Ph-like Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) Sensitive Mutations | - | ||
READY NCT00744497 | 3 | Negative | Chemotherapy-naive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with adequate organ function, stratified by ECOG performance status, bisphosphonate use and urinary N-telopeptide: docetaxel 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks with prednisone 5 mg twice daily, plus dasatinib 100 mg once daily or placebo, with overall survival as the primary endpoint | Median overall survival 21.5 against 21.2 months (stratified hazard ratio 0.99, 95.5 percent confidence interval 0.87 to 1.13, p=0.90): no benefit. | |
DASISION NCT00481247 | 3 | Positive | Newly diagnosed chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukaemia: dasatinib 100 mg daily against imatinib 400 mg daily | Dasatinib produced higher confirmed complete cytogenetic and major molecular response rates at 12 months than imatinib, with no difference in five-year overall survival. | |
D-ALBA (GIMEMA LAL2116) NCT02744768 | 2 | Positive | Newly diagnosed Ph-positive ALL, adults of all ages: dasatinib induction followed by blinatumomab, no systemic chemotherapy | 18-month OS 95%, DFS 88%. | |
| 2 | Recruiting | Advanced solid tumours, multiple myeloma and B-cell lymphoma with a genomic alteration that an approved targeted drug addresses in another cancer: the drug is given off-label in a pragmatic basket with cohorts by drug and tumour type | Continuous cohort reporting: positive signals for pembrolizumab in high tumour mutational burden cancers and trastuzumab plus pertuzumab in ERBB2-amplified colorectal cancer; palbociclib in CDKN2A-altered lung cancer and several other matches were negative. | ||
