Frequently asked questions about Taletrectinib

What is Taletrectinib used for?

Taletrectinib is an investigational oral therapy being studied for ROS1 positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and solid tumors. It is in Phase 3 development for locally advanced or metastatic ROS1 positive NSCLC and is also being evaluated as adjuvant therapy in ROS1 positive NSCLC. It has received FDA Breakthrough Therapy, Priority Review, and Orphan Drug designations.

What does Taletrectinib target?

Taletrectinib is a small molecule inhibitor that targets ROS1 and the NTRK family kinases NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3. By inhibiting these targets, it is designed to block signaling pathways that drive tumor growth in cancers harboring ROS1 or NTRK alterations.

Who is developing Taletrectinib?

Taletrectinib is being developed by Nuvation Bio Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker NUVB. The company is the sponsor of the clinical development program for this asset.

What phase is Taletrectinib in?

Taletrectinib is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. The program includes four trials in total, with two completed Phase 1 studies and two active Phase 3 studies. The FDA has granted Breakthrough Therapy, Priority Review, and Orphan Drug designations.

What clinical trials is Taletrectinib in?

Taletrectinib is being evaluated in two active Phase 3 trials: NCT07154706 (TRUST-IV), comparing taletrectinib to placebo as adjuvant therapy in ROS1 positive NSCLC, and NCT06564324, comparing taletrectinib with standard therapy in ROS1 positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Two completed Phase 1 trials, NCT05357911 and NCT05357820, assessed drug interactions in healthy volunteers.

Is Taletrectinib the same as AB-106?

Yes, Taletrectinib is also known as AB-106. The two names refer to the same investigational drug. The Phase 1 trials NCT05357911 and NCT05357820 used the AB-106 designation, while the Phase 3 trials use the taletrectinib name.
