Ceritinib | Zykadia | LDK378 | ALK Inhibitor 32 ROS1 Inhibitor 20 | Zykadia (ceritinib) inhibits ALK, including ALK mutations and fusions, and has additional activity against ROS1 fusions, potentially resulting in decreased tumor cell growth (PMID: 25322323, PMID: 26372962). Zykadia (ceritinib) is FDA approved for ALK-positive (rearrangements and fusions) metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (FDA.gov). |
Fulvestrant | Faslodex | ICI 182,780 | Hormone - Anti-estrogens 29 | Faslodex (fulvestrant) is a competitive inhibitor of estrogen that binds and deforms estrogen receptors, and causes inhibition of growth in cultured estrogen-sensitive breast cancer cells and is FDA approved for use in patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer (FDA.gov). |
