Description
Two AML cell lines, IMS-M2 and M0-91, with the ETV6-NTRK3 fusion were treated with entrectinib. Sequencing of these cell lines found no other driver mutations in 265 other cancer genes suggesting the ETV6-NTRK3 fusion is the oncogenic driver. The IC50 for the IMS-M2 and M0-91 cell lines was 0.47 and 0.65 nmol/L, respectively. Mouse xenografts treated with entrectinib at 10 or 30 mg/kg had complete remission while treatment with 3 mg/kg caused significant reduction in tumor growth. Testing of the bone marrow of IMS-M2 xenografts after 3 weeks of treatment found no human CD45-positive cells in the 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg treatment groups; all vehicle treated mice had some human CD45-positive cells in their bone marrow. Zebrafish xenotransplantation of M0-91 cells were sensitive to entrectinib treatment.
