Andamertinib


Andamertinib

CAS 2254145-43-0

MF C31H36N8O3 MW568.7 g/mol

N-[4-methoxy-2-[4-(3-methoxyazetidin-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl]-5-[[6-(1-methylindazol-5-yl)pyrimidin-4-yl]amino]phenyl]prop-2-enamide

N-(4-methoxy-2-[4-(3-methoxyazetidin-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl]-5-{[6-(1-methyl-1H-indazol-5-yl)pyrimidin-4-yl]amino}phenyl)prop-2-enamide
epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, antineoplastic, PLB 1004, 5X3KAG7ZBW

Andamertinib (also known as PLB1004) is an investigational, orally bioavailable, and irreversible small-molecule inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It is primarily being developed to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with specific genetic mutations. 

Key Clinical & Therapeutic Features

  • Target Mutations: It specifically targets EGFR exon 20 insertion (ex20ins) mutations, which are often resistant to standard first- and second-generation EGFR inhibitors.
  • Broad Selectivity: Beyond ex20ins, it also shows activity against classical mutations like Del19L858R, and the resistance mutation T790M.
  • Brain Penetration: Andamertinib is designed to cross the blood-brain barrier, making it potentially effective for patients with brain metastases.
  • Clinical Performance: In phase 2 studies (e.g., the KANNON study), it demonstrated a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 42.7% and a median progression-free survival of 6.2 months in pretreated patients. 

Regulatory Status (as of Early 2026)

  • China: A New Drug Application (NDA) was accepted by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in May 2025 and granted priority review for treating NSCLC with EGFR ex20ins mutations.
  • Global: It remains in various stages of clinical trials globally, including studies for first-line treatment and combination therapies with other agents like vebreltinib

Andamertinib is an orally bioavailable, mono-anilino-pyrimidine, mutant-selective epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, andamertinib targets, binds to and irreversibly inhibits the activity of various EGFR mutations, including exon 20 insertion (Ex20ins) activating mutations, the gatekeeper mutation T790M, ExDel19, and L858R. This prevents EGFR-mediated signaling, induces cell death and inhibits tumor growth in tumor cells expressing these EGFR mutations. EGFR, a receptor tyrosine kinase mutated in many tumor cell types, plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation and tumor vascularization.
