Abstract excerpt
KIT is a type-3 receptor tyrosine kinase that is frequently mutated at exon 11 or 17 in a variety of cancers. First-generation KIT tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are ineffective against KIT exon 17 mutations, which favor an active conformation that prevents these TKIs from binding. The ATP-competitive inhibitors, midostaurin and avapritinib, which target the active kinase conformation, were developed to inhibit...
