Palbociclib | Ibrance | PD0332991 | CDK4/6 Inhibitor 10 | Ibrance (palbociclib) is a selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and 6 (CDK6) (PMID: 19874578). Ibrance (palbociclib) is approved in combination with an aromatase inhibitor in postmenopausal patients with ER-positive, ERBB2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer, and in combination with Faslodex (fulvestrant) in patients with ER-positive, ERBB2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer (FDA.gov). |
Trametinib | Mekinist | GSK1120212 | MEK inhibitor (Pan) 22 MEK1 Inhibitor 20 MEK2 Inhibitor 18 | Mekinist (trametinib) inhibits MEK 1 and 2, which potentially leads to reduced tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 27956260). Mekinist (trametinib) is FDA approved for melanoma patients harboring BRAF V600E or BRAF V600K mutations, and in combination with Tafinlar (dabrafinib) for BRAF V600E/K-mutant melanoma, BRAF V600E- mutant non-small cell lung cancer, and BRAF V600E-mutant anaplastic thyroid cancer (FDA.gov). |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
BRAF mut RB1 loss | melanoma | decreased response | Palbociclib + Trametinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, a melanoma cell line with a BRAF mutation and loss of RB1 demonstrated minimal sensitivity when treated with the combination of Ibrance (palbociclib) and Mekinist (trametinib) in culture (PMID: 27488531). | 27488531 |
NRAS mutant | melanoma | predicted - sensitive | Palbociclib + Trametinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, melanoma cell lines harboring an NRAS mutation were sensitive to the combination therapy of Ibrance (palbociclib) and Mekinist (trametinib) in culture, demonstrating reduced cell viability, colony formation, and pathway activity, and increased cell cycle arrest (PMID: 30819666). | 30819666 |
NRAS Q61L NRAS mut | melanoma | predicted - resistant | Palbociclib + Trametinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, NRAS-mutant melanoma cells expressing NRAS Q61L demonstrated resistance to the combination treatment with Mekinist (trametinib) and Ibrance (palbociclib) in culture (PMID: 30819666). | 30819666 |
AKT1 pos NRAS mut | melanoma | predicted - resistant | Palbociclib + Trametinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, two of four NRAS-mutant melanoma cell lines expressing AKT1 were resistant to the combination treatment of Ibrance (palbociclib) and Mekinist (trametinib) in culture (PMID: 30819666). | 30819666 |
CDKN2A loss NRAS Q61K | melanoma | sensitive | Palbociclib + Trametinib | Preclinical - Cell line xenograft | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the combination of Ibrance (palbociclib) and Mekinist (trametinib) induced tumor regression in a mouse melanoma model expressing NRAS Q61K and harboring CDKN2A loss (PMID: 22983396). | 22983396 |
NRAS Q61K NRAS mut | melanoma | predicted - resistant | Palbociclib + Trametinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, NRAS-mutant melanoma cells expressing NRAS Q61K demonstrated resistance to the combination treatment of Mekinist (trametinib) and Ibrance (palbociclib) in culture (PMID: 30819666). | 30819666 |
BRAF mutant | melanoma | sensitive | Palbociclib + Trametinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, a melanoma cell line harboring a BRAF mutation demonstrated greater sensitivity to the combination treatment of Mekinist (trametinib) and Ibrance (palbociclib) in culture when compared to either agent alone (PMID: 27488531). | 27488531 |
BRAF wild-type | melanoma | decreased response | Palbociclib + Trametinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, a BRAF wild-type melanoma cell line demonstrated minimal sensitivity when treated with the combination of Ibrance (palbociclib) and Mekinist (trametinib) in culture (PMID: 27488531). | 27488531 |
NRAS mut PIK3CA E545K | melanoma | predicted - resistant | Palbociclib + Trametinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, four of four NRAS-mutant melanoma cell lines expressing PIK3CA E545K were resistant to the combination treatment of Ibrance (palbociclib) and Mekinist (trametinib) in culture (PMID: 30819666). | 30819666 |
NRAS wild-type | melanoma | decreased response | Palbociclib + Trametinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, an NRAS wild-type melanoma cell line demonstrated minimal sensitivity when treated with the combination of Ibrance (palbociclib) and Mekinist (trametinib) in culture (PMID: 27488531). | 27488531 |
