Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Fluorouracil | Adrucil | 5-FU | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Adrucil (fluorouracil) is an antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agent, which interferes with DNA and RNA synthesis thereby preventing cancer cell growth and is FDA approved for colorectal, breast, stomach, and pancreatic cancer (FDA.gov). |
Irinotecan | Camptosar | CPT-11|Onivyde | TOPO1 inhibitor 10 | Camptosar (irinotecan) inhibits Topoisomerase-I activity, resulting in inhibition of DNA replication, and potentially leading to cell death and is indicated as a component of first-line therapy in combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin for patients with metastatic or recurrent colorectal carcinoma (FDA.gov). |
Leucovorin | Wellcovorin | Calcium folinate|Calcium citrovorum factor|folinic acid | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Wellcovorin (leucovorin) is a metabolite of folate that enhances the efficacy of fluoruracil (PMID: 32490554). |
Pembrolizumab | Keytruda | MK-3475 | Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor 155 PD-L1/PD-1 antibody 105 | 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). |
