Cetuximab | Erbitux | IMC-C225 | EGFR Antibody 39 | 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). |
Selumetinib | Koselugo | AZD6244|ARRY-142886 | MEK inhibitor (Pan) 23 MEK1 Inhibitor 21 MEK2 Inhibitor 19 | Koselugo (selumetinib) inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MEK or MAPK/ERK kinases) 1 and 2, which may prevent the activation of MEK1/2-dependent effector proteins and transcription factors, reducing cellular proliferation in various cancers (PMID: 27467210). Koselugo (selumetinib) is FDA approved for use in pediatric patients of 2 years or older with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (FDA.gov). |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
BRAF V600E | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Cetuximab + Selumetinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, Koselugo (selumetinib) and Erbitux (cetuximab) combination treatment inhibited survival of colorectal cancer cell lines harboring BRAF V600E in culture (PMID: 27312529). | 27312529 |
BRAF V600E BRAF amp | colorectal cancer | resistant | Cetuximab + Selumetinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, colorectal cancer cells harboring BRAF V600E developed sustained activation of Mapk signaling and resistance to Koselugo (selumetinib) and Erbitux (cetuximab) combination treatment in culture, likely due to the acquired BRAF V600E amplification (PMID: 27312529). | 27312529 |
BRAF V600E MAP2K1 V211D | colorectal cancer | resistant | Cetuximab + Selumetinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, colorectal cancer cells harboring BRAF V600E developed sustained activation of Mapk signaling and resistance to Koselugo (selumetinib) and Erbitux (cetuximab) combination treatment in culture, likely due to the acquired secondary resistant mutation of MAP2K1 V211D (PMID: 27312529). | 27312529 |
