Background: SOMCL-15-290 is a novel inhibitor that targets FGF receptor, CSF1 receptor and VEGF receptor (kinase insert domain receptor). Aim: This study was aiming at developing a specific high performance liquid chromatography–MS/MS method for quantifying SOMCL-15-290 in human plasma and supporting the first-in-human study. Methods: Plasma samples were prepared using the protein precipitation method and separated on a C18 110A column with acetonitrile and 0.2% formic acid solution as mobile phases. Quantification of SOMCL-15-290 was operated on an Xevo-TQS triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer in electrospray ionization positive mode. Results & conclusion: The validated determination method of SOMCL-15-290 has proved feasible and was successfully utilized in the first-in-human study of SOMCL-15-290 in advanced solid tumor patients.
