Therapy Name Alpelisib + Tipifarnib
Synonyms
Therapy Description

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.

Drug Name Trade Name Synonyms Drug Classes Drug Description
Alpelisib Piqray BYL719 PIK3CA inhibitor 23 Piqray (alpelisib) is a selective PIK3CA inhibitor that blocks activation of the PI3K signaling pathway and inhibits tumor growth (PMID: 23726034). Piqray (alpelisib) is FDA approved in combination with fulvestrant for use in postmenopausal women, and men, with advanced or metastatic hormone receptor (HR)-positive, ERBB2 (HER2)-negative, PIK3CA-mutant breast cancer (FDA.gov).
Tipifarnib Zarnestra|R115777 Farnesyltransferase Inhibitor 4 Zarnestra (tipifarnib) is a farnesyltransferase inhibitor, which alters post-translational modification and activation of Ras proteins, and may result in decreased tumor cell proliferation and reduced tumor growth (PMID: 11196150, PMID: 25323927, PMID: 32557577).
