---|---|---|---|---|
Cetuximab | Erbitux | IMC-C225 | EGFR Antibody 52 | Erbitux (cetuximab) is a monoclonal antibody directed against EGFR, which inhibits signal transduction and cell proliferation (PMID: 28695301). Erbitux (cetuximab) is FDA approved for use in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and KRAS wild-type, EGFR positive colorectal cancer (FDA.gov). |
Encorafenib | Braftovi | LGX818 | BRAF Inhibitor 24 | Braftovi (encorafenib) is an inhibitor of Raf kinase with selective activity against BRAF V600E, resulting in growth inhibition (PMID: 24864047). Braftovi (encorafenib) is FDA approved for use in combination with Mektovi (binimetinib) in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with a BRAF V600E or V600K mutation, and in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer harboring BRAF V600E, and in combination with Erbitux (cetuximab) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
