Nilotinib | Tasigna | AMN-107|AMN107 | ABL Inhibitor (pan) 8 BCR-ABL Inhibitor 27 CSF1R Inhibitor 25 DDR1 Inhibitor 8 DDR2 inhibitor 7 KIT Inhibitor 51 PDGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 27 | Tasigna (nilotinib) inhibits several tyrosine kinases including BCR-ABL, PDGFR, KIT, DDR and CSF-1R, potentially resulting in reduced tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 21419934, PMID: 25284748). Tasigna (nilotinib) is FDA approved for use in patients with Ph+ (BCR-ABL1) chronic myeloid leukemia (FDA.gov). |
Tazemetostat | Tazverik | EPZ6438|E-7438|EPZ-6438 | EZH2 inhibitor 18 | Tazverik (tazemetostat) binds to and inhibits EZH2, resulting in decreased tri-methylation of H3K27, and potentially leading to inhibition of cell proliferation and tumor growth (PMID: 23620515). Tazverik (tazemetostat) is FDA approved for use in patients aged 16 years and older with metastatic or locally advanced epithelioid sarcoma not eligible for complete resection, and in adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (R/R FL) harboring an EZH2 mutation after 2 prior therapies, and in patients with R/R FL without treatment options (FDA.gov). |

Unknown unknown | chronic myeloid leukemia | not applicable | Nilotinib + Tazemetostat | Preclinical | Actionable | In a preclinical study, treatment with the combination of Tasigna (Nilotinib) and EPZ-6438 resulted in decreased levels of leukemic cells and progenitors in primary chronic myeloid leukemia cell xenograft models, with increased efficacy compared to Tasigna (Nilotinib) alone (PMID: 27630125). | 27630125 |
