---|---|---|---|---|
Carboplatin | Paraplatin | CBDCA | Chemotherapy - Platinum 7 | Paraplatin (carboplatin) is a second-generation platinum compound and is activated intracellularly to form reactive platinum complexes that cross link DNA with DNA and with proteins. This induces apoptosis and inhibits cell growth (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Etoposide | Vepesid | EPEG|Eposin|VP-16|VP-16-213 | TOPO2 inhibitor 5 | Vepesid (etoposide) binds to and inhibits DNA topoisomerase II, resulting in accumulated DNA damage, inhibition of replication, and cell death (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Larotrectinib | Vitrakvi | LOXO-101|ARRY-470|BAY2757556 | Trk Receptor Inhibitor (Pan) 31 | Vitrakvi (larotrectinib) binds to and prevents activation of TRK receptors (NTRK1, -2, -3), resulting in decreased growth and increased apoptosis in Trk-expressing tumor cells (PMID: 29532798). Vitrakvi (larotrectinib) is FDA approved for use in adult and pediatric patients with solid tumors that have progressed, are metastatic, or are not surgically resectable and have an NTRK fusion without acquired resistance mutations (FDA.gov). |
