SHP2 Tyrosine Phosphatase Inhibitor
PF-07284892
PF-07284892 is an investigational compound. Its safety and efficacy have not been established.
Overview + Rationale
• PF-07284892 is an oral small molecule inhibitor of SHP2 (PTPN11) with potential antineoplastic activity
- Deregulation of signaling through receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and the RAS pathway plays a role in oncogenesis
- SHP2 is a node in multiple signaling pathways and has been shown to regulate cell survival, differentiation and proliferation
- Pathways associated with SHP2 are often utilized by tumors to impart resistance to targeted therapies.
- Inhibition of SHP2 may potentially provide additional treatment strategies
Mechanism of Action
SHP2 inhibitor PF-07284892 targets, binds to, and inhibits the activity of SHP2 • This is thought to prevent SHP2-mediated signaling via upregulated RTKs, inhibits RAS signaling, and has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells
