---|---|---|---|---|
Gemcitabine | Gemzar | Difluorodeoxycytidine Hydrochlorothiazide|LY-188011 | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Gemzar (gemcitabine) is converted in cells to difluorodeoxycytidine di- and triphosphate (dFdCDP, dFdCTP), which act to inhibit ribonucleoside reductase and as a deoxynucleotide analog respectively, resulting in DNA strand termination and apoptosis (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Hydroxychloroquine | Plaquenil | HCQ | Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine sulfate) increases intralysosomal pH, resulting in inhibition of autophagic protein degradation and accumulation of autophagosomes, which potentially leads to cell death in autophagy-dependent tumor cells (NCI Drug Dictionary). | |
Ipilimumab | Yervoy | BMS-734016 | CTLA4 Antibody 31 Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor 149 | Yervoy (ipilimumab) is an antibody that binds to cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4), causing increased T-cell activation (PMID: 28891423). Yervoy (ipilimumab) is FDA approved for use in patients with metastatic melanoma, including patients 12 years or older, and in combination with Opdivo (nivolumab) for intermediate or poor-risk renal cell carcinoma, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (including patients 12 years or older), hepatocellular carcinoma previously treated with Nexavar (sorafenib), in combination with Opdivo (nivolumab) as first-line therapy in patients with PD-L1-positive (>=1%) metastatic non-small cell lung cancer without EGFR or ALK alterations, and in combination with Opdivo (nivolumab) and platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line therapy in patients with metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer without EGFR or ALK alterations (FDA.gov). |
