Identification
- Summary
Quizartinib is a FLT3 inhibitor used in combination with cytarabine and anthracycline to treat acute myeloid leukemia with FLT3 internal tandem duplication
- Brand Names
- Vanflyta
- Generic Name
- Quizartinib
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB12874
- Background
Quizartinib is an oral and potent fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibitor and it is the first drug developed specifically targeting FLT3, as other agents with FLT3 inhibition activities were investigated with other targets in mind.1 Additionally, quizartinib also demonstrates inhibitory activity toward FLT3 with internal tandem duplication (ITD), although with a 10-fold lower affinity compared to wild-type FLT3.4 FLT3-ITD mutation is present in 75% of FLT3-mutated AML, leading to constitutively active FLT3 and thus poorer overall survival and higher risk of relapse.2 Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated quizartinib's efficacy in relapsed/refractory FLT3-ITD mutant AML.3 Therefore, quizartinib is proven to be a beneficial addition to the current AML treatment regimen, although serious side effects such as QT prolongation necessitates further research to optimize quizartinib's addition to AML standard of care.1
Quizartinib was approved by the FDA in July 2023 and developed under the brand name VANFLYTA by Daiichi Sankyo.6 The FDA approval was based on positive results from the QuANTUM-First trial for FLT3-ITD positive AML, where quizartinib combined with standard cytarabine and anthracycline induction and standard cytarabine consolidation, followed by a maintenance monotherapy resulted in a 22% reduction in the risk of death.6

- Pharmacodynamics
Quizartinib showed antitumor activity in a mouse model of FLT3-ITD-dependent leukemia. In vitro, studies have shown that quizartinib is a predominant inhibitor of the slow delayed rectifier potassium current, IKs.4
In AML patients receiving quizartinib at a dose of 90 mg/day for females and 135 mg/day for males on a 28-day schedule, the median levels of phospho-FLT3 (pFLT3) and total FLT3 (tFLT3) decreased from 3312 RLU or 5639 RLU respectively at day 1 to 1235 RLU and 142 RLU respectively at day 8. Additionally, pFLT3 levels are statistically significantly higher (p < 0.0001, Mann Whitney test) for the ITD+ subjects on day 1; however, pFLT3 levels was reduced to a similar level in patients with or without the ITD mutation.5
The exposure-response analysis predicted a concentration-dependent QTcF interval median prolongation of 18 and 24 ms [upper bound of 2-sided 90% confidence interval (CI): 21 and 27 ms] at the median steady-state Cmax of quizartinib at the 26.5 mg and 53 mg dose level during maintenance therapy.4
- Mechanism of action
Quizartinib is a small molecule inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3. Quizartinib and its major active metabolite AC886 bind to the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding domain of FLT3 with comparable affinity, and both had 10-fold lower affinity towards FLT3-ITD mutation compared to FLT3 in a binding assay. Quizartinib and AC886 inhibited FLT3 kinase activity, preventing autophosphorylation of the receptor, thereby inhibiting downstream FLT3 receptor signaling and blocking FLT3-ITD-dependent cell proliferation.4
Target Actions Organism AReceptor-type tyrosine-protein kinase FLT3 inhibitorHumans - Absorption
The mean (SD) absolute bioavailability of quizartinib from the tablet formulation was 71% (±7%) in healthy subjects. After oral administration under fasted conditions, time to peak concentration (median Tmax) of quizartinib and AC886 measured post dose was approximately 4 hours (range 2 to 8 hours) and 5 to 6 hours (range 4 to 120 hours), respectively, in healthy subjects. Following the administration of 35.4 mg quizartinib once daily in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia, the Cmax and AUC0-24h were calculated to be 140 ng/mL (71%) and 2,680 ng.h/mL (85%) respectively during the induction therapy and 204 ng/mL (64%) and 3,930 ng.h/mL (78%) respectively during the consolidation therapy.4 For the metabolite AC886, the Cmax and AUC0-24h were estimated to be 163 ng/mL (52%) and 3,590 ng.h/mL (51%) respectively during the induction therapy and 172 ng/mL (47%) and 3,800 ng.h/mL (46%) respectively during the consolidation therapy.4
Increasing the once daily dose of quizartinib to 53 mg also increases the Cmax and AUC0-24h of quizartinib to 529 ng/mL (60%) and 10,200 ng.h/mL (75%) respectively at steady state. The Cmax and AUC0-24h of the metabolite AC886 also increases to 262 ng/mL (48%) and 5,790 ng•h/mL (46%) respectively.4
No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of quizartinib were observed when administered with a high-fat, high-calorie meal.4
- Volume of distribution
Volume of distribution at steady state in healthy subjects was estimated to be 275 L (17%).4
- Protein binding
In vitro plasma protein binding of quizartinib and AC886 is 99% or greater. In vitro blood-to-plasma ratio for quizartinib and AC886 ranges from 0.79-1.30 and 1.36-3.19, respectively.4
- Metabolism
In vitro quizartinib is primarily metabolized via oxidation by CYP3A4/5 and AC886 is formed and metabolized by CYP3A4/5.4

- Route of elimination
Following a single radiolabeled dose of quizartinib 53 mg to healthy subjects, 76.3% of the total radioactivity was recovered in feces (4% unchanged) and 1.64% in urine.4
- Half-life
The mean (SD) effective half-lives (t1/2) in patients with newly diagnosed AML for quizartinib and AC886 during maintenance therapy are 81 hours (±73) and 136 hours (±113), respectively.4
- Clearance
Total body clearance of quizartinib in healthy subjects was estimated to be 2.23 L/hour (29%).4

- Toxicity
Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, quizartinib can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.4
There are no available data on quizartinib use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of quizartinib to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in adverse developmental outcomes including structural abnormalities and alterations to growth at maternal exposures approximately 3 times those in patients at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 53 mg/day (see Data). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus.4
Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with quizartinib.4
Quizartinib was mutagenic in a bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay and not mutagenic in an in vivo transgenic rat mutation assay. Quizartinib was not genotoxic in vitro in mouse lymphoma thymidine kinase mutation and human lymphocyte chromosome aberration assays, or in an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay.4
Fertility studies in animals have not been conducted with quizartinib. However, adverse findings in male and female reproductive systems were observed in repeat dose toxicity studies in rats and monkeys. Findings in female animals (rats or monkeys) included ovarian cysts, vaginal mucosal modifications, and atrophy of the uterus, ovary, and vagina, starting at exposures (AUC) approximately 0.2 times the MRHD of 53 mg/day. In male animals (rats and monkeys), findings included testicular seminiferous tubular degeneration, failure of sperm release, germ cell depletion in the testes, and oligospermia/aspermia, starting at exposures approximately 0.4 times the MRHD. After approximately one month of recovery period, all these findings except the vaginal mucosal modifications in the female rats were reversible.4

- A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of sterols, steroid hormones, retinoids and fatty acids (PubMed:10681376, PubMed:11093772, PubMed:11555828, PubMed:12865317, PubMed:14559847, PubMed:15373842, PubMed:15764715, PubMed:19965576, PubMed:20702771, PubMed:21490593, PubMed:21576599). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (NADPH--hemoprotein reductase). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds (PubMed:12865317, PubMed:14559847, PubMed:15373842, PubMed:15764715, PubMed:21490593, PubMed:21576599, PubMed:2732228). Exhibits high catalytic activity for the formation of hydroxyestrogens from estrone (E1) and 17beta-estradiol (E2), namely 2-hydroxy E1 and E2, as well as D-ring hydroxylated E1 and E2 at the C-16 position (PubMed:11555828, PubMed:12865317, PubMed:14559847). Plays a role in the metabolism of androgens, particularly in oxidative deactivation of testosterone (PubMed:15373842, PubMed:15764715, PubMed:22773874, PubMed:2732228). Metabolizes testosterone to less biologically active 2beta- and 6beta-hydroxytestosterones (PubMed:15373842, PubMed:15764715, PubMed:2732228). Contributes to the formation of hydroxycholesterols (oxysterols), particularly A-ring hydroxylated cholesterol at the C-4beta position, and side chain hydroxylated cholesterol at the C-25 position, likely contributing to cholesterol degradation and bile acid biosynthesis (PubMed:21576599). Catalyzes bisallylic hydroxylation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (PubMed:9435160). Catalyzes the epoxidation of double bonds of PUFA with a preference for the last double bond (PubMed:19965576). Metabolizes endocannabinoid arachidonoylethanolamide (anandamide) to 8,9-, 11,12-, and 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid ethanolamides (EpETrE-EAs), potentially modulating endocannabinoid system signaling (PubMed:20702771). Plays a role in the metabolism of retinoids. Displays high catalytic activity for oxidation of all-trans-retinol to all-trans-retinal, a rate-limiting step for the biosynthesis of all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA) (PubMed:10681376). Further metabolizes atRA toward 4-hydroxyretinoate and may play a role in hepatic atRA clearance (PubMed:11093772). Responsible for oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics. Acts as a 2-exo-monooxygenase for plant lipid 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol) (PubMed:11159812). Metabolizes the majority of the administered drugs. Catalyzes sulfoxidation of the anthelmintics albendazole and fenbendazole (PubMed:10759686). Hydroxylates antimalarial drug quinine (PubMed:8968357). Acts as a 1,4-cineole 2-exo-monooxygenase (PubMed:11695850). Also involved in vitamin D catabolism and calcium homeostasis. Catalyzes the inactivation of the active hormone calcitriol (1-alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3)) (PubMed:29461981)

- A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of steroid hormones and vitamins during embryogenesis (PubMed:11093772, PubMed:12865317, PubMed:14559847, PubMed:17178770, PubMed:9555064). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (NADPH--hemoprotein reductase) (PubMed:11093772, PubMed:12865317, PubMed:14559847, PubMed:17178770, PubMed:9555064). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds. Metabolizes 3beta-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one (dehydroepiandrosterone, DHEA), a precursor in the biosynthesis of androgen and estrogen steroid hormones (PubMed:17178770, PubMed:9555064). Exhibits high catalytic activity for the formation of hydroxyestrogens from estrone (E1), particularly D-ring hydroxylated estrone at the C16-alpha position (PubMed:12865317, PubMed:14559847). Mainly hydroxylates all trans-retinoic acid (atRA) to 4-hydroxyretinoate and may play a role in atRA clearance during fetal development (PubMed:11093772). Also involved in the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics including anticonvulsants (PubMed:9555064)

- General Function
- Binds water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs (Probable). Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood (Probable). Major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc (PubMed:19021548). Major calcium and magnesium transporter in plasma, binds approximately 45% of circulating calcium and magnesium in plasma (By similarity). Potentially has more than two calcium-binding sites and might additionally bind calcium in a non-specific manner (By similarity). The shared binding site between zinc and calcium at residue Asp-273 suggests a crosstalk between zinc and calcium transport in the blood (By similarity). The rank order of affinity is zinc > calcium > magnesium (By similarity). Binds to the bacterial siderophore enterobactin and inhibits enterobactin-mediated iron uptake of E.coli from ferric transferrin, and may thereby limit the utilization of iron and growth of enteric bacteria such as E.coli (PubMed:6234017). Does not prevent iron uptake by the bacterial siderophore aerobactin (PubMed:6234017)

- General Function
- Broad substrate specificity ATP-dependent transporter of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family that actively extrudes a wide variety of physiological compounds, dietary toxins and xenobiotics from cells (PubMed:11306452, PubMed:12958161, PubMed:19506252, PubMed:20705604, PubMed:28554189, PubMed:30405239, PubMed:31003562). Involved in porphyrin homeostasis, mediating the export of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) from both mitochondria to cytosol and cytosol to extracellular space, it also functions in the cellular export of heme (PubMed:20705604, PubMed:23189181). Also mediates the efflux of sphingosine-1-P from cells (PubMed:20110355). Acts as a urate exporter functioning in both renal and extrarenal urate excretion (PubMed:19506252, PubMed:20368174, PubMed:22132962, PubMed:31003562, PubMed:36749388). In kidney, it also functions as a physiological exporter of the uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate (By similarity). Also involved in the excretion of steroids like estrone 3-sulfate/E1S, 3beta-sulfooxy-androst-5-en-17-one/DHEAS, and other sulfate conjugates (PubMed:12682043, PubMed:28554189, PubMed:30405239). Mediates the secretion of the riboflavin and biotin vitamins into milk (By similarity). Extrudes pheophorbide a, a phototoxic porphyrin catabolite of chlorophyll, reducing its bioavailability (By similarity). Plays an important role in the exclusion of xenobiotics from the brain (Probable). It confers to cells a resistance to multiple drugs and other xenobiotics including mitoxantrone, pheophorbide, camptothecin, methotrexate, azidothymidine, and the anthracyclines daunorubicin and doxorubicin, through the control of their efflux (PubMed:11306452, PubMed:12477054, PubMed:15670731, PubMed:18056989, PubMed:31254042). In placenta, it limits the penetration of drugs from the maternal plasma into the fetus (By similarity). May play a role in early stem cell self-renewal by blocking differentiation (By similarity)
