Pembrolizumab | Keytruda | MK-3475 | Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor 146 PD-L1/PD-1 antibody 107 | Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is an antibody against PD-1 that activates T-cell mediated anti-tumor immune response (PMID: 25977344). Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is approved in melanoma, SCLC, HNSCC, classical Hodgkin Lymphoma, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, urothelial carcinoma, HCC, Merkel cell carcinoma, NMIBC, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, MSI-H or dMMR or TMB high advanced solid tumors, NSCLC and CD274 (PD-L1)-expressing NSCLC, gastric and GEJ adenocarcinoma, squamous esophageal carcinoma, cervical cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer, in combination with pemetrexed and platinum in non-squamous NSCLC with no EGFR or ALK mutations, with carboplatin and paclitaxel/nab-paclitaxel in squamous NSCLC, with axitinib or lenvatinib in RCC, with Lenvatinib in endometrial carcinoma that is not MSI-H or dMMR, in combination with platinum and fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy for patients with esophageal or gastroesophageal carcinoma, in combination with Herceptin (trastuzumab), fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy for first-line treatment of patients with HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, and in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab, for patients with CD274 (PD-L1)-expressing (CPS>=1) cervical cancer (FDA.gov). |
Trametinib | Mekinist | GSK1120212 | MEK inhibitor (Pan) 23 MEK1 Inhibitor 25 MEK2 Inhibitor 23 | 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 (dabrafenib) for BRAF V600E/K-mutant melanoma, BRAF V600E- mutant non-small cell lung cancer, BRAF V600E-mutant anaplastic thyroid cancer, for adult and pediatric patients of 6 years or older with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors harboring BRAF V600E, and for pediatric patients of 1 year or older with low-grade glioma harboring BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
