BRAF L597S | melanoma | sensitive | 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 |
