BRAF L597S | melanoma | predicted - sensitive | Trametinib | Preclinical - Pdx & cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, Mekinist (trametinib) inhibited growth of melanoma cell lines harboring BRAF L597S in culture, and resulted in tumor shrinkage in 75% (8/12) subcutaneous tumors in one patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model harboring BRAF L597S that also harbored a BRAF variant of unknown significance, BRAF R239Q, however, was not sufficient to induce tumor shrinkage in a second PDX model with BRAF L597S, resulting only in tumor growth delay (PMID: 29903896). | 29903896 |
