Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

Molecular Profile Indication/Tumor Type Response Type Relevant Treatment Approaches Therapy Name Approval Status Evidence Type Efficacy Evidence References
BRAF L597S Advanced Solid Tumor sensitive Vemurafenib Preclinical Actionable In a preclinical study, treatment of cells expressing BRAF L597S with the BRAF inhibitor, Zelboraf (vemurafenib), decreased activation of MEK and ERK (PMID: 22798288). 22798288
BRAF L597S Advanced Solid Tumor sensitive MEK inhibitor (Pan) MEK1 Inhibitor MEK2 Inhibitor Trametinib Preclinical Actionable Preclinical studies demonstrated the MEK inhibitor, Mekinist (trametinib) caused decreased activation of MEK and ERK in cells expressing BRAF L597S (PMID: 22798288). 22798288
BRAF L597S melanoma predicted - sensitive MEK inhibitor (Pan) MEK1 Inhibitor MEK2 Inhibitor TAK-733 Case Reports/Case Series Actionable In a Phase I trial, TAK-733 treatment resulted in a partial response after 2 cycles in a patient with metastatic melanoma harboring BRAF L597S, who remained progression-free for over 24 weeks (PMID: 22798288). 22798288
BRAF L597S melanoma sensitive Encorafenib Preclinical - Cell culture Actionable In a preclinical study, Braftovi (encorafenib) inhibited ERK activation and proliferation of melanoma cell lines harboring BRAF L597S in culture (PMID: 29903896). 29903896
BRAF L597S melanoma sensitive MEK inhibitor (Pan) MEK1 Inhibitor MEK2 Inhibitor Binimetinib + Encorafenib Preclinical - Cell culture Actionable In a preclinical study, the addition of Braftovi (encorafenib) to treatment with Mektovi (binimetinib) resulted in increased growth inhibition in melanoma cell lines harboring BRAF L597S in culture (PMID: 29903896). 29903896
BRAF L597S melanoma sensitive MEK inhibitor (Pan) MEK1 Inhibitor MEK2 Inhibitor Encorafenib + Trametinib Preclinical - Cell culture Actionable In a preclinical study, the addition of Braftovi (encorafenib) to treatment with Mekinist (trametinib) resulted in increased growth inhibition in melanoma cell lines harboring BRAF L597S in culture (PMID: 29903896). 29903896
BRAF L597S melanoma sensitive LY3009120 LY3009120 Preclinical - Cell culture Actionable In a preclinical study, LY3009120 inhibited growth of melanoma cells harboring BRAF L597S in culture (PMID: 29903896). 29903896
BRAF L597S melanoma predicted - sensitive Dabrafenib Preclinical - Pdx & cell culture Actionable In a preclinical study, Tafinlar (dabrafenib) treatment inhibited ERK activation and proliferation of melanoma cell lines harboring BRAF L597S in culture, but did not result in tumor shrinkage as a single agent in a melanoma patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model harboring BRAF L597S (PMID: 29903896). 29903896
BRAF L597S melanoma sensitive MEK inhibitor (Pan) MEK1 Inhibitor MEK2 Inhibitor Dabrafenib + Trametinib Case Reports/Case Series Actionable In a clinical case study, Tafinlar (dabrafenib) and Mekinist (trametinib) resulted in increased growth inhibition in melanoma cell lines harboring BRAF L597S in culture, and resulted in tumor shrinkage in 89% (17/19) of tumors in a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model harboring BRAF L597S, and treatment with Tafinlar (dabrafenib) and Mekinist (trametinib) resulted in a objective response with 34% tumor shrinkage in the patient from which the PDX model was derived from (PMID: 29903896). 29903896
BRAF L597S melanoma predicted - sensitive MEK inhibitor (Pan) MEK1 Inhibitor MEK2 Inhibitor Trametinib Preclinical - Pdx & cell culture Actionable In a preclinical study, Mekinist (trametinib) inhibited growth of melanoma cell lines harboring BRAF L597S in culture, and resulted in tumor shrinkage in 75% (8/12) subcutaneous tumors in one patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model harboring BRAF L597S that also harbored a BRAF variant of unknown significance, BRAF R239Q, however, was not sufficient to induce tumor shrinkage in a second PDX model with BRAF L597S, resulting only in tumor growth delay (PMID: 29903896). 29903896
BRAF L597S melanoma sensitive MEK inhibitor (Pan) MEK1 Inhibitor MEK2 Inhibitor Cobimetinib Preclinical - Cell culture Actionable In a preclinical study, Cotellic (cobimetinib) inhibited growth of melanoma cell lines harboring BRAF L597S in culture (PMID: 29903896). 29903896
