CHINA 2024, APPROVALS 2024, Innovent Biologics, DUPERT

Fulzerasib (Dupert^®; Innovent Biologics/GenFleet Therapeutics) is an orally active small molecule inhibitor of the KRAS G12C mutant protein being developed for the treatment of solid tumors harboring the KRAS G12C oncogenic driver mutation, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer. Fulzerasib received its first approval on 21 August 2024 in China, for the treatment of adults with KRAS G12C-mutated advanced NSCLC who have received at least one line of systemic therapy. This conditional approval was based on the positive results of a single-arm, phase II study. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of fulzerasib leading to this first approval for KRAS G12C-mutated advanced NSCLC.

Fulzerasib (GFH925) is an irreversible KRAS G12C inhibitor, has a synergistic anti-cancer effect with cetuximab (HY-P9905)..

SYN

Fulzerasib is an orally active KRAS G12C inhibitor developed by Innovent Biologics. It selectively targets the KRAS G12C mutation in NSCLC [36,37]. In 2024, the NMPA approved Fulzerasib (brand name: Dupert) for treating adult patients with advanced NSCLC harboring the KRAS G12C mutation who have progressed after prior systemic therapy. Fulzerasib irreversibly binds to the KRAS G12C mutant protein, locking it in an inactive GDP-bound state, thereby inhibiting downstream signaling pathways such as MAPK and PI3K. This action effectively suppresses cancer cell proliferation and survival. The clinical efficacy of Fulzerasib was demonstrated in a Phase II trial (NCT05009303) involving patients with advanced NSCLC and KRAS G12C mutations [38]. In the clinical trial, Fulzerasib demonstrated an ORR of 49.1 % and a disease control rate (DCR) of 90.5 %, with a median PFS of 9.7 months, reflecting robust antitumor efficacy. The agent exhibited favorable tolerability, characterized by manageable toxicity. Treatment-related adverse events were predominantly mild to moderate in severity, with the most frequently reported being diarrhea, nausea, and elevated liver enzymes [38]. The safety profile was consistent with other KRAS G12Cinhibitors, making it a viable therapeutic option.
The synthetic route of Fulzerasib, shown in Scheme 9, initiates with H2SO4-mediated decyanation of Fulz-001, affording Fulz-002 [39]. Nitrosation of Fulz-002 with NaNO2 yields Fulz-003, which undergoes
Suzuki-Miyaura coupling with (2-fluoro-6-methoxyphenyl)boronic acid to construct Fulz-004. Phosphochlorination with POCl3 under DIPEA catalysis converts Fulz-004 to Fulz-005. Nucleophilic displacement with methyl (R)-1-N-Boc-piperazine-3-carboxylate assembles Fulz-006. Fe-mediated tandem Mannich cyclization/nitro reduction transforms Fulz-006 into bicyclic amine Fulz-007. Methylation with MeI generates Fulz-008, followed by TFA-mediated Boc cleavage to afford Fulz-009.
Acrylation with acryloyl chloride produces Fulz-010. Selective O-demethylation followed by chiral HPLC resolution delivers Fulzerasib
