Pexidartinib is a small-molecule receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor of proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT), colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF1R) and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), with antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, pexidartinib targets, binds to and inhibits phosphorylation of KIT, CSF1R and FLT3 harboring an internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation. This results in the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. FLT3, CSF1R and FLT3 are overexpressed or mutated in many cancer cell types and play major roles in tumor cell proliferation and metastasis.

4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Pexidartinib is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with symptomatic tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) associated with severe morbidity or functional limitations and not amenable to improvement with surgery.


Treatment of tenosynovial giant cell tumour. ,


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Pexidartinib works by suppressing the growth of tenosynovial giant cell tumors. In clinical trials comprising of patients with symptomatic tenosynovial giant cell tumor, pexidartinib had a higher overall response rate, characterized by improved patient symptoms and functional outcomes, compared to placebo. Pexidartinib works by inhibiting the activation and signaling of tumor-permissive cytokines and receptor tyrosine kinases that play a central role in tumor cell proliferation and survival.

5.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Following administration of single doses in healthy subjects and multiple doses in patients, the mean Cmax was 8625 ng/mL and the mean AUC was 77465 ngxh/mL. The median Tmax was 2.5 hours and the time to reach the steady state was approximately 7 days. Administration of pexidartinib with a high fat meal resulted in an increased drug Cmax and AUC by 100%, with a delay in Tmax by 2.5 hours.


Route of Elimination

Pexidartinib is predominantly excreted via feces, where fecal excretion accounts for 65% of total pexidartinib elimination. Via this route of elimination, about 44% of the compound found in feces is recovered as unchanged parent drug. The renal elimination accounts for 27% of pexidartinib elimination, where more than 10% of the compound is found as the N-glucuronide metabolite.


Volume of Distribution

The apparent volume of distribution of pexidartinib is about 187 L. In rats, pexidartinib was shown to penetrate into the central nervous system.


Clearance

The apparent clearance is about 5.1 L/h.


5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

Pexidartinib primarily undergoes oxidation mediated by hepatic CYP3A4 and glucuronidation by UGT1A4. Following UGT1A4-mediated glucuronidation, a major inactive N-glucuronide metabolite is formed with approximately 10% higher exposure than the parent drug after a single dose administration of pexidartinib. Based on the findings of _in vitro_ studies, CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 may also play a minor role in drug metabolism.


5.5 Biological Half-Life

The elimination half-life is about 26.6 hours.


5.6 Mechanism of Action

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor is a rare, non-malignant neoplasm that causes abnormal growth and damage to the synovium, bursae, or tendon sheaths. Recruitment of immune cells, specifically macrophages, is closely associated with the tumor mass formation in tenosynovial giant cell tumors. Macrophages drive tumor-promoting inflammation and play a central role in every stage of tumor progression. As the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment of solid tumors, macrophages promote processes that enhance tumor survival, such as angiogenesis, tumor cell invasion, and intravasation at the primary site. They also modulate the immune response to tumors to inhibit tumor clearance and directly engage with tumor cells to activate pro-survival signaling pathways. The recruitment, proliferation, and irreversible differentiation of macrophages are regulated by colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1), which is a cytokine that is often translocated and highly expressed in tenosynovial giant cell tumors. Elevated expression of CSF-1 and CSF-1 receptor (CSF1R) has also been implicated in various models of malignant cancers and tumors. Pexidartinib targets the CSF1/CSF1R pathway as a selective CSF1R inhibitor. It stimulates the autoinhibited state of the CSF1R by interacting with the juxtamembrane region of CSF1R, which is responsible for folding and inactivation of the kinase domain, and preventing the binding of CSF1 and ATP to the region. Without the binding of CSF1 to the receptor, CSF1R cannot undergo ligand-induced autophosphorylation. By inhibiting the CSF1R signaling pathway, pexidartinib works to inhibit tumor cell proliferation and downmodulate cells involved in the disease, such as macrophages. It was also shown to inhibit the CD117 or proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase (cKIT), mutant fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)-, which are all receptor tyrosine kinases that regulate critical cellular processes such as cell proliferation and survival.
