Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Cetuximab | Erbitux | IMC-C225 | EGFR Antibody 43 | 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). |
Dabrafenib | Tafinlar | GSK2118436 | BRAF Inhibitor 21 | Tafinlar (dabrafenib) inhibits the activity of BRAF, including V600E, which results in the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 22735384). Tafinlar (dabrafenib) is FDA approved for BRAF V600E/- positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma, and in combination with Mekinist (trametinib) for BRAF V600E/K-mutant melanoma, BRAF V600E-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, BRAF V600E-mutant anaplastic thyroid cancer, and for adult and pediatric patients of 6 years or older with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors harboring BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
Trametinib | Mekinist | GSK1120212 | MEK inhibitor (Pan) 23 MEK1 Inhibitor 22 MEK2 Inhibitor 20 | 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, and for adult and pediatric patients of 6 years or older with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors harboring BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |

BRAF V600E MAP2K1 L115P | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Cetuximab + Dabrafenib + Trametinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, combination therapy consisting of Erbitux (cetuximab), Tafinlar (dabrafenib), and Mekinist (trametinib) inhibited survival of colorectal cancer cells harboring BRAF V600E that acquired a MAP2K1 L115P mutation and subsequent resistance to Tafinlar (dabrafenib) and Mekinist (trametinib) combination treatment in culture (PMID: 27312529). | 27312529 |
BRAF V600E MAP2K1 V211D | colorectal cancer | resistant | Cetuximab + Dabrafenib + Trametinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, colorectal cancer cells harboring BRAF V600E that acquired a MAP2K1 V211D mutation and subsequent resistance to Erbitux (cetuximab) and Selumetinib (AZD6244) combination treatment were resistant to combination therapy consisting of Erbitux (cetuximab), Tafinlar (dabrafenib), and Mekinist (trametinib) in culture (PMID: 27312529). | 27312529 |
BRAF V600E | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Cetuximab + Dabrafenib + Trametinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, combination therapy consisting of Erbitux (cetuximab), Tafinlar (dabrafenib), and Mekinist (trametinib) inhibited survival of colorectal cancer cell lines harboring BRAF V600E in culture (PMID: 27312529). | 27312529 |
