NRAS突变黑素瘤的靶向治疗
NRAS突变可激活MAPK与PI3K通路,从而促进肿瘤增殖和生长。MEK162是一种小分子MEK1/2抑制剂,与NRAS突变黑素瘤患者的某些活动有关,[155]Ascierto PA, Schadendorf D, Berking C, et al. MEK162 for patients with advanced melanoma harbouring NRAS or Val600 BRAF mutations: a non-randomised, open-label phase 2 study. Lancet Oncol. 2013;14:249-256.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23414587?tool=bestpractice.comIII期临床试验正在进行中。MEK和PI3K抑制剂的早期联合试验亦在进行中。
KIT突变黑素瘤的靶向治疗
在肢端黑素瘤中4q染色体近端扩增引出了KIT癌基因在黑素瘤中可能发生了突变或异常表达的假说。[156]Curtin JA, Fridlyand J, Kageshita T, et al. Distinct sets of genetic alterations in melanoma. N Engl J Med. 2005;353:2135-2147.http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa050092#t=articlehttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16291983?tool=bestpractice.comKIT基因直接测序结果显示KIT的突变见于21%的黏膜型黑素瘤、11%肢端黑素瘤和17%继发于慢性日光性损害的黑素瘤。但是继发于间断光照皮肤的黑素瘤发生KIT基因突变的不到1%。[156]Curtin JA, Fridlyand J, Kageshita T, et al.

KIT as a therapeutic target in metastatic melanoma. JAMA. 2011;305:2327-2334.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21642685?tool=bestpractice.com另外两项II期临床试验也证实了伊马替尼的疗效。[158]Guo J, Si L, Kong Y, et al.

司美替尼治疗Gq/11突变的葡萄膜黑素瘤
葡萄膜黑素瘤通常在GNAQ和GNA11基因上发生突变、易转移扩散至肝脏、预后差,且全身治疗疗效不大。近日,一项关于司美替尼的II期临床试验显示其有50%的肿瘤消退率,RECIST(实体瘤疗效评价标准)反应率为15%(N=46),以及平均作用时间为23周。[160]Carvajal RD, Sosman JA, Quevedo F, et al.
