Classifications

Therapeutic Classification: antineoplastics

Pharmacologic Classification: kinase inhibitors, platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha blockers

Indications

High Alert


Action

  • Tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits KIT proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase and platelet derived growth factor receptor A kinase, including wild type, primary, and secondary mutations.
Therapeutic effects:
  • Improved progression-free survival.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption: Unknown.

Distribution: Extensively distributed to extravascular tissues.

Protein Binding: 99.8%.

Metabolism/Excretion: Primarily metabolized in the liver via the CYP3A4 isoenzyme (and to a minor extent via the CYP2C8 and CYP2D6 isoenzymes) to an active metabolite (DP-5439). DP-5439 is primarily metabolized in the liver via the CYP3A4 isoenzyme (and to a minor extent via the CYP2C8, CYP2E1, and CYP2D6 isoenzymes). Ripretinib and DP-5439 primarily excreted in feces (34% and 6%, respectively).

Half-Life: Ripretinib: 14.8 hr; DP-5439: 17.8 hr.
