Mevrometostat (development code PF-06821497) is an investigational anticancer drug that functions as a potent and selective inhibitor of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2).[1][2] Currently under development by Pfizer, mevrometostat is being investigated primarily for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in combination with enzalutamide.

PF-06821497 is under investigation in clinical trial NCT03460977 (PF-06821497 Treatment Of Relapsed/Refractory SCLC, Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer, and Follicular Lymphoma).

Mevrometostat is an orally available selective inhibitor of the histone lysine methyltransferase (HMT) enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, mevrometostat selectively targets, binds to and inhibits the activity of EZH2. Inhibition of EZH2 specifically prevents the methylation of histone H3 on lysine 27 (H3K27). This decrease in histone methylation alters gene expression patterns associated with cancer pathways and results in decreased proliferation of EZH2-expressing cancer cells. EZH2, an HMT class enzyme and the catalytic subunit of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), is overexpressed or mutated in a variety of cancer cells and plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation; its expression is correlated with tumor initiation, progression, stem cell self-renewal, migration and angiogenesis.

MEVROMETOSTAT is a small molecule drug with a maximum clinical trial phase of II and has 1 investigational indication.

Mechanism of action

Mevrometostat is a small molecule inhibitor that targets EZH2, the catalytic subunit of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2).[1][3] EZH2 plays a crucial role in epigenetic regulation by modifying gene expression patterns that control cellular fate decisions, including differentiation and self-renewal.[1]

In prostate cancer, EZH2 dysregulation contributes to treatment resistance through multiple pathways, including:

Mevrometostat demonstrates dose-dependent EZH2 inhibition, leading to reactivation of tumor suppressor genes while suppressing genes involved in tumor progression.[5]

Clinical development

Phase I/II trials

The primary clinical evaluation of mevrometostat is being conducted through a phase 1/2 dose-expansion study (NCT03460977) investigating the combination of mevrometostat with enzalutamide and androgen deprivation therapy in patients with mCRPC.[6]

The dose-expansion portion of this study enrolled patients with mCRPC who had previously received abiraterone, with evidence of disease progression per modified Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 criteria.[2]

Key efficacy results

In the randomized dose-expansion study, the combination of mevrometostat (1,250 mg twice daily on an empty stomach) plus enzalutamide demonstrated:

  • 49% relative reduction in the rate of progression or death
  • Approximately 8-month improvement in median radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS)
  • Hazard ratio of 0.51 (90% CI: 0.28–0.95)[7]

The median radiographic progression-free survival was 14.3 months with the combination therapy compared to 6.2 months with enzalutamide alone.[8]

Phase III trials

Based on promising phase I/II results, Pfizer has initiated multiple phase 3 clinical trials:

MEVPRO-1 study

The MEVPRO-1 study (NCT06551324) is a randomized phase 3 trial evaluating mevrometostat in combination with enzalutamide versus physician's choice of therapy in patients with mCRPC previously treated with abiraterone acetate.[9][10]

  • Study design: Randomized 1:1 to receive mevrometostat (875 mg twice daily with food) plus enzalutamide (160 mg daily) versus physician's choice of enzalutamide or docetaxel
  • Target enrollment: Approximately 600 patients
  • Primary endpoint: Blinded independent central review-assessed rPFS per RECIST 1.1 and PCWG3 criteria
  • Key secondary endpoint: Overall survival

MEVPRO-2 study

The MEVPRO-2 study (NCT06629779) is evaluating mevrometostat plus enzalutamide in androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI)-naïve patients with mCRPC.[11][12]

Additional development

Pfizer has also initiated phase 3 trials evaluating mevrometostat plus enzalutamide in first-line metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.[8][13]

Safety profile

The most common adverse events considered related to mevrometostat treatment include:

Dose optimization studies found that mevrometostat 875 mg twice daily with food showed similar efficacy and better safety compared to the 1,250 mg dose on an empty stomach.[15]

Pharmacokinetics

Based on safety and pharmacokinetic findings from phase 1 trials, mevrometostat 875 mg twice daily with food was selected as the recommended dose for phase 3 clinical development in combination with enzalutamide.[16]

Regulatory status

As of 2025, mevrometostat remains an investigational agent under clinical development by Pfizer. The drug has not received regulatory approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), or other regulatory authorities.

dual FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3)-Aurora kinase inhibitor, antineoplastic, CCT241736, CCT 241736, ZE94SP78UG, EP0042, EP 0042

Mobinitinib (CCT241736) is an investigational, orally bioavailable, small-molecule, dual inhibitor targeting Aurora kinase and FLT3 (including ITD and D835Y mutations). It shows potent antineoplastic activity in preclinical models, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), by inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and disrupting mitotic spindle assembly. It is a distinct compound from similarly named drugs like Momelotinib or Binimetinib. 

Key Details About Mobinitinib (CCT241736)

  • Mechanism of Action: Acts as a dual inhibitor of Aurora kinases (A and B) and FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3). By inhibiting these kinases, it interferes with mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation, leading to cell cycle arrest.
  • Target Indications: Primarily studied for its potential to treat hematological malignancies and solid tumors that overexpress FLT3 or Aurora kinases. Preclinical studies show effectiveness in FLT3-ITD positive AML cell lines (e.g., MOLM-13, MV4-11).
  • Preclinical Activity: Demonstrates strong anti-proliferative activity with  values in the sub-micromolar range (e.g., 0.1–0.3 M) in certain human tumor cell lines. It has shown significant tumor growth inhibition in mouse xenograft models at doses of 50-100 mg/kg.
  • Chemical Properties: It is a 1H-imidazo[5-b]pyridine derivative. 

It is important to distinguish mobinitinib (CCT241736) from momelotinib, a JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor approved for myelofibrosis, and binimetinib, a MEK inhibitor for melanoma. 


Mobinitinib is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of both the serine/threonine protein kinase Aurora kinase and FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3; STK1; CD135; FLK2), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, mobinitinib specifically binds to and inhibits Aurora kinase and FLT3, which interferes with the activation of Aurora kinase- and FLT3-mediated signal transduction pathways. This may result in the disruption of the assembly of the mitotic spindle apparatus, the disruption of chromosome segregation and the inhibition of cell proliferation in tumor cells that overexpress Aurora kinase and/or FLT3. Aurora kinase plays essential roles in mitotic checkpoint control during mitosis. Aurora kinase and FLT3 are overexpressed in a variety of cancers and play key roles in tumor cell proliferation.

MOBINITINIB is a small molecule drug with a maximum clinical trial phase of II and has 1 investigational indication.

Mocaciclib (Q-901) is an orally bioavailable, selective cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor with potent activity against CDK2, CDK4, and CDK6. Preclinical data show that Mocaciclib inhibits CDK2/cyclin E with an IC₅₀ of 1.1 nM, CDK4/cyclin D1 with an IC₅₀ of 2.5 nM, and CDK6/cyclin D3 with an IC₅₀ of 4.1 nM, demonstrating high potency in enzymatic assays. In cancer cell lines, Mocaciclib suppresses retinoblastoma protein (Rb) phosphorylation, leading to G1 cell cycle arrest and growth inhibition in Rb-positive tumor models. It has shown antiproliferative effects in various preclinical models, including breast and lung cancers.

Mocaciclib is a selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, mocaciclib selectively targets, covalently binds to and inhibits the activity of CDK7, thereby inhibiting CDK7-mediated signaling. The inhibition of CDK7 prevents phosphorylation of the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II, thereby preventing transcription of important cancer-promoting genes. It prevents phosphorylation of the cell cycle kinases CDK1, 2, 4, and 6, thereby disrupting uncontrolled cell cycle progression. Altogether, this may induce apoptosis, cause cell cycle arrest, inhibit DNA damage repair and inhibit tumor cell proliferation in certain cancers that are dependent on CDK7-mediated transcriptional regulation and signaling. CDK7, a serine/threonine kinase, plays a role in controlling cell cycle progression and transcriptional regulation, and promotes the expression of key oncogenes through the phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II. It is overexpressed in multiple cancers.

Mosperafenib is a small molecule drug. The usage of the INN stem '-rafenib' in the name indicates that Mosperafenib is a Raf (rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma) kinase inhibitor. Mosperafenib has a monoisotopic molecular weight of 461.1 Da.

Mosperafenib (RG6344, RO7276389) is an investigational, oral, "paradox-breaker" BRAF inhibitor developed by Roche for treating BRAF-mutated cancers, particularly BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer. It acts as a potent, selective inhibitor that avoids MAPK pathway overactivation in non-V600E contexts, showing superior preclinical activity and brain penetration compared to existing inhibitors like encorafenib. 

Key Aspects of Mosperafenib:

  • Mechanism: As a "paradox-breaker" BRAF inhibitor, it avoids the paradoxical MAPK pathway activation seen with earlier inhibitors. It inhibits BRAF mutants () and is effective in RAF dimer-mediated resistant models.
  • Clinical Development: Currently in Phase I clinical trials for BRAF V600E-mutant colorectal cancer.
  • Preclinical Performance: In studies, it demonstrated higher antitumor activity than encorafenib/cetuximab combinations, even in BRAFi-naïve models.
  • Combination Potential: It is being evaluated in combination with cetuximab and FOLFOX.
  • Targeting: It targets BRAF V600E/K/A/D mutations.
