Drug data last refreshed 20h ago · AI intelligence enriched 3w ago
QINLOCK (ripretinib) is an oral kinase inhibitor that targets the Stem Cell Factor (KIT) receptor, approved by the FDA on May 15, 2020. It is indicated for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), specifically for patients who have received prior treatment with other KIT inhibitors. The drug works by inhibiting KIT receptor signaling, a key driver of GIST oncogenesis. QINLOCK represents a fourth-line or later treatment option for advanced GIST, filling an important clinical gap for patients with imatinib-resistant disease.
