Taletrectinib, sold under the brand name Ibtrozi, is an anti-cancer medication used for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.[1][2] It is used as the salt, taletrectinib adipate.[1] Taletrectinib is a kinase inhibitor.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Taletrectinib was approved for medical use in the United States in June 2025.[3][4]

Medical uses

[edit]

Taletrectinib is indicated for the treatment of adults with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer.[1][4]

Adverse effects

[edit]

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prescription label for taletrectinib includes warnings and precautions for hepatotoxicity, interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, QTc interval prolongation, hyperuricemia, myalgia with creatine phosphokinase elevation, skeletal fractures, and embryo-fetal toxicity.[1][3]

History

[edit]

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved taletrectinib based on evidence from 270 participants with ROS1-positive NSCLC that had spread beyond the lungs who received taletrectinib 600 mg orally once daily, enrolled in two clinical trials: TRUST-I (NCT04395677) or TRUST-II (NCT04919811).[4] The TRUST-I trial was conducted exclusively in China and the TRUST-II trial was conducted globally in North America (United States and Canada), Europe (France, Italy, Spain, and Poland), and Asia (China, Japan, and South Korea).[4]

The efficacy of taletrectinib to treat ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer was evaluated in participants with locally advanced or metastatic, ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer enrolled in two multi-center, single-arm, open-label clinical trials, TRUST-I (NCT04395677) and TRUST-II (NCT04919811).[3] The efficacy population included 157 participants (103 in TRUST-I; 54 in TRUST-II) who were naïve to treatment with a ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) and 113 participants (66 in TRUST-I; 47 in TRUST-II) who had received one prior ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor.[3] Participants may have received prior chemotherapy for advanced disease.[3]

The safety of taletrectinib was evaluated in 352 participants (337 with non-small cell lung cancer and 15 with other solid tumors) who received at least one 600 mg dose of taletrectinib.[4] In the 337 participants with non-small cell lung cancer, the median age was 56 years (range: 26 to 83); 56% female; 76% Asian, 15% White, 0.6% Black or African American, 8% unknown or other races; and 1.8% were of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.[4] The number of participants representing efficacy findings differs from the number of participants representing safety findings due to different groups of study participants analyzed for efficacy and safety.[4]

The FDA granted the application for taletrectinib priority review, breakthrough therapy, and orphan drug designations.[3]
