RET Inhibitor Market: Competitive Landscape, Pipeline, and Market Analysis 2024
RET is an abbreviation for "rearranged during transfection", as the DNA sequence of this gene was originally found to be rearranged within a 3T3 fibroblast cell line following its transfection with DNA taken from human lymphoma cells. The human gene RET is localized to chromosome 10 and contains 21 exons. The RET proto-oncogene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase; RET loss of function mutations are associated with the development of Hirschsprung's disease. while gain of function mutations are associated with the development of various types of human cancer, including medullary thyroid carcinoma, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A and 2B, pheochromocytoma, and parathyroid hyperplasia.
Mechanism of action (MOA) of RET Inhibitor is RET inhibitors are targeted therapies that act on tumors with activating alterations in the RET proto-oncogene, such as point mutations or fusions. They fall under the category of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which work by inhibiting proteins involved in the abnormal growth of cancer cells. RET Inhibitor is used in the treatment of lymphoma, leukemia, sarcoma, carcinoma, endocrine system disorder, glioblastoma, bronchial neoplasm, digestive system neoplasm, immunoproliferative disorders, hematologic disorders, breast diseases, genital diseases, etc. Increased prevalence of autoimmune disorders and various cancers are the key drivers for the RET Inhibitor market. For instance, according to the World Cancer Research Fund International 2020, there were an estimated 18.1 million cancer cases around the world in 2020; of these, 9.3 million cases were in men and 8.8 million in women. The introduction of newer products by market players may look for opportunities that have a big impact on comprehensive research and development in RET inhibitors. For instance, Merck’s Keytruda (Pembrolizumab) was launched for the treatment of endometrial carcinoma. Moreover, to address the difficulties in therapy, numerous market participants are developing innovative compounds. For instance, Takeda’s Motesanib (AMG 706) for the indication of non-small cell lung cancer is under the various stages of clinical studies.

A molecule such as Sutent (Sunitinib) was developed by Pfizer for the line of treatment for adjuvant treatment for patients at a high risk of recurrent renal cell carcinoma following nephrectomy and treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. Bayer’s Stivarga (Regorafenib) is used for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Sanofi’s Caprelsa (Vandetanib) for the treatment of thyroid cancer. Eli Lilly’s Retevmo (Selpercatinib) for the treatment of advanced RET-driven lung and thyroid cancers.
