Vebreltinib
Vebreltinib is a Chinese MET inhibitor approved in 2023 for lung cancers with a MET exon 14 skipping mutation, and the first drug tested in a phase 3 trial for glioblastomas carrying a PTPRZ1-MET fusion.
Overview
Beijing Pearl Biotechnology's vebreltinib (PLB1001, also developed as APL-101 by Apollomics) was approved by China's NMPA in November 2023 for locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with MET exon 14 skipping. Because it crosses the blood-brain barrier, it was also taken into a randomised phase 3 trial in secondary glioblastoma with PTPRZ1-MET fusions, a rare molecular subgroup identified by Chinese neuro-oncology groups, and a further trial in MET-altered lung cancer is registered.
A selective, brain-penetrant inhibitor of the MET kinase; tumours with MET exon 14 skipping mutations, MET amplification or PTPRZ1-MET fusions depend on that signal. Connects to MET.
