Description: Tamibarotene, also known as SY-1425, is an orally active, synthetic retinoid, developed to overcome all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) resistance, with potential antineoplastic activity. As a specific retinoic acid receptor (RAR) alpha/beta agonist, tamibarotene is approximately ten times more potent than ATRA in inducing cell differentiation and apoptosis in HL-60 (human promyelocytic leukemia) cell lines in vitro. Due to a lower affinity for cellular retinoic acid binding protein (CRABP), tamibarotene may show sustained plasma levels compared to ATRA.

Tamibarotene is currently being developed by CytRx Corporation. According to CytRx Corporation's webpages, Tamibarotene was developed to specifically overcome resistance to ATRA. In vitro, tamibarotene is approximately 10 times more potent than ATRA at causing APL cells to differentiate and die. In addition, tamibarotene has a lower affinity for cellular retinoic acid binding protein, or CRABP, which we believe should allow for sustained plasma levels during administration. Tamibarotene does not bind the RAR-α receptor, the major retinoic acid receptor in the dermal epithelium. In clinical studies, the rate of RAS appeared to be low.
Tamibarotene is currently approved in Japan for treatment of recurrent APL. There is a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) in place with the FDA for a Phase 2 clinical trial, known as STAR-1, which is evaluating the efficacy and safety of tamibarotene as a third-line treatment for APL. The STAR-1 trial is ongoing and currently includes six clinical sites in the U.S. CytRx recently reported that, of the 11 patients enrolled in the STAR-1 trial to date, three (27%) achieved a hematologic complete response, and four (36%) a morphologic leukemia-free state. Based on the preliminary results in the clinical trial for third-line APL, CytRx has announced its intention to work with key opinion leaders to design a clinical trial to evaluate tamibarotene in combination with other agents as a first-line treatment for this cancer. CytRx holds the North American and European rights to tamibarotene as a treatment for APL. The FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation for APL and Fast Track Designation for the use of tamibarotene in patients with relapsed or refractory APL following treatment with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide. In addition, tamibarotene has been granted orphan medicinal product status by the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of APL. The efficacy of orally-administered tamibarotene was demonstrated in two Phase 2 studies conducted in Japan in a total of 63 Japanese subjects with APL. The overall complete response rate in these subjects was 60%. In subjects experiencing their first relapse, the overall complete response rate was 81%.
