    The role of Axl in the tumor microenvironment

    Axl is a member of the TAM family of receptor tyrosine kinases.


    Axl mechanism of action

    For a long time, Axl has been known to be related to tumors, but it is not a carcinogenic driver in the traditional sense.


    Although many Axl inhibitors have been developed before, they are not selective Axl inhibitors, including crizotinib, which was originally designed as an inhibitor of MET, but was subsequently found to have effective activity on ALK and ROS1 kinase .

    Look at Axl development from Bemcentinib

    Bemcentinib is a first-in-class small molecule inhibitor of Axl.


    AM has always been an area that is difficult to break through in malignant hematological tumors.


    In the ongoing phase I/II multi-cohort trial of Bemcentinib, single-agent or combined use for AML/MDS has been explored.

    Among them, part of the results of the ongoing trial of cohort B5 was announced at the 2020 ASH meeting.


    Bemcentinib's Phase I/II Trial Cohort B5 Early Results

    Bemcentinib also aimed at the market opportunity of NSCLC.


    The industry is optimistic about the combination of Axl inhibitors and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors to achieve synergistic anti-tumor effects.


    Bemcentinib combined with Pembro for NSCLC Phase I/II trial

    The current results of cohort A have shown that the mPFS of bemcentinib combined with Pembrolizumab was 8.


    Preliminary results of bemcentinib and Pembro in NSCLC phase I/II cohorts A and B

    Considering that the combination of PD-(L)1 inhibitors with or without chemotherapy will be more widely used in the first-line NSCLC, the efficacy of Bemcentinib+Pembro as the second-line treatment for relapse after immunotherapy is even more important, and preliminary tumor response results have been shown.
