SEGA: subependymal giant cell astrocytoma
Pharmacologic properties
High blood-to-plasma ratio
Long plasma half-life
CYP450 metabolite
– Drug-drug interaction
P-glycoprotein modulated oral
absorption
– Drug-drug interaction
Easily pass BBB
– Effective in CNS
Adverse Effects-1
 Common AE: skin reactions, stomatitis, fatigue,
diarrhea, thrombocytopenia, hyperlipidemia and
hyperglycemia
 Less common AE: renal toxicity, peripheral
edema, interstitial pneumonitis and infections
 Pneumonitis and infections are drug, dose,
schedule related
– Daily > weekly
 Rare severe
opportunistic
infections
Management of Adverse Effects
Generally mild to moderate severity
Reversible with DC or dose reduction
Specific treatment for hyperlipidemia
and hyperglycemia

 Conclusion
mTOR

Protein kinase ubiquitous within cell

mTOR activation related to growth, nutrient,
stress and energy signals leads to an increase
protein synthesis

mTOR inhibit induce G1 cell cycle arrest and
apoptosis in some cell line

PI3K/Akt signaling pathway

Upregulated by neoplasm

Rapalogs in solid organ transplant
• Sirolimus(Rapamune) 2 mg qd
Everolimus(Certican) 0.75-1.5 mg q12h
• Adjuvent/alternative in combination
• Inhibit BK virus reactivation
• Reduce malignancy risk after transplant
• Regress mild PTLD, Kaposi sarcoma and
nonmelanotic skin malignancy

 Conclusion
PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway
mTORC1

Downstream signaling effectors and transcription factors

Influence cell proliferation, survival, angiogenesis, etc.

Rapalogs associate with FKBP12 complex block mTORC1

Rapalog-mediated mTORC1
inhibiton lead to ↑mTORC2


Negative regulate by
hypoxia, low amino
level and FKBP8


Phosphorylate Akt at Ser473 and activate Akt

Rapalog-mediated mTORC1 inhibiton lead to
↑mTORC2 activate Akt

Potential resistance


mTOR kinase inhibitor

Clinical Trials of mTOR inhibitors in
RCC
Phase II Trials with Rapalogs
Limitation of mTOR inhibitors
 Phosphorylation effects
– mTORC2 formation sensitive in some cancer cell line
– Poor correlation with antiproliferation was reported
 Concentration-dependent effects
– Some cell line such as lung, colon, prostate and breast
– mTORC1 suppressed in low nanomolar concentration
– mTORC2 suppressed in low micromolar concentration
 Phosphatidic acid
– Competitive mTOR
– Determinant rapalogs sensitivity
mTOR inhibitors for cancer in future
1. Optimal drug administration
2. Markers of sensitivity and resistance
3. Combination of targeted agents
4. Development of more-effective mTOR
inhibitors
 mTOR kinase inhibitors
 Introduction to mTOR inhibitors
 mTOR signaling pathway
 mTOR inhibitors and transplant
 mTOR inhibitors and cancer
 Current development of mTOR inhibitors
 Conclusion
Conclusion-1
mTOR is a central regulator of cell
proliferation
In some tumor types, such as RCC and
certain lymphomas, mTOR as key role in
tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis
Temsirolimus and everolimus are
approved as monotherapy
in advanced RCC
Conclusion-2
Temsirolimus also approved in MCL with
notable improvement in PFS
Biomarkers to identify tumor types that
are sensitive to mTOR inhibition
Combination target therapy augment
anti-tumor activity and overcoming
resistance
PFS: progression-free survival
Recommendations
• In vivo concentration of endoxifen needed to
maximally inhibit breast cancer proliferation is
unknown
• Potent CYP2D6 inhibitors be avoided in
women receiving tamoxifen (Strong)
• When the use of a drug known to potently
inhibit CYP2D6 is necessary, consideration
should be given to treat with the inhibitor for
the shortest period of time possible. (Weak)
