| Cetuximab | Erbitux | IMC-C225 | EGFR Antibody 72 | 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, and in combination with Braftovi (encorafenib) with or without mFOLFOX6 in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
| PLX8394 | PLX 8394|PLX-8394|FORE8394|FORE-8394|FORE 8394|Plixorafenib | BRAF Inhibitor 26 CRAF Inhibitor 12 | PLX8394 is a RAF inhibitor that inhibits wild-type and mutant BRAF, as well as CRAF, and does not paradoxically activate MAPK signaling, potentially resulting in decreased proliferation of BRAF-mutant tumor cells (PMID: 26466569, PMID: 24283590, PMID: 28659148, PMID: 30559419). |

| BRAF G466V | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Cetuximab + PLX8394 | Preclinical - Pdx | Actionable | In a preclinical study, PLX8394 treatment in combination with Erbitux (cetuximab) inhibited tumor growth in a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model of colorectal cancer harboring BRAF G466V, but did not improve efficacy compared to Erbitux (cetuximab) treatment alone (PMID: 30559419). | 30559419 |
| BRAF K601E | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Cetuximab + PLX8394 | Preclinical - Pdx | Actionable | In a preclinical study, PLX8394 treatment in combination with Erbitux (cetuximab) inhibited Erk signaling and reduced tumor growth in a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model of colorectal cancer harboring BRAF K601E (PMID: 30559419). | 30559419 |
