Alectinib | Alecensa | CH5424802|RO5424802 | ALK Inhibitor 32 RET Inhibitor 53 | Alecensa (alectinib) is an inhibitor of RET and ALK, including ALK fusions and the gatekeeper mutation, L1196M (PMID: 21575866, PMID: 25349307). Alecensa (alectinib) is FDA-approved for use in patients with ALK-positive (rearrangements and fusions) non-small cell lung cancer (FDA.gov). |
Selumetinib | Koselugo | AZD6244|ARRY-142886 | MEK inhibitor (Pan) 26 MEK1 Inhibitor 26 MEK2 Inhibitor 24 | Koselugo (selumetinib) inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MEK or MAPK/ERK kinases) 1 and 2, which may prevent the activation of MEK1/2-dependent effector proteins and transcription factors, reducing cellular proliferation in various cancers (PMID: 27467210). Koselugo (selumetinib) is FDA approved for use in pediatric patients of 2 years or older with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (FDA.gov). |

EML4 - ALK | lung non-small cell carcinoma | sensitive | Alectinib + Selumetinib | Preclinical - Cell line xenograft | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the combination of Alecensa (alectinib) and Koselugo (selumetinib) inhibited tumor growth in cell line xenograft models of non-small cell lung cancer harboring EML4-ALK, but was less potent compared to treatment with the combination of Alecensa (alectinib) and SHP099 (PMID: 34158345). | 34158345 |
