Ruxolitinib | Jakafi | INCB 18424|INCB018424|INCB18424 | JAK1 Inhibitor - ATP competitive 5 JAK2 Inhibitor - ATP competitive 15 | Jakafi (ruxolitinib) is an inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinases JAK1 and JAK2, thus resulting in reduced inflammation and reduced proliferation (PMID: 22474318). Jakafi (ruxolitinib) is FDA approved to treat bone marrow cancer, specifically intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis (FDA.gov) |
Vemurafenib | Zelboraf | RO5185426|PLX4032 | RAF Inhibitor (Pan) 28 | Zelboraf (vemurafenib) inhibits BRAF V600E, wild-type BRAF, ARAF, and CRAF (PMID: 20179705), which may result in an inhibition of the MAPK signaling pathway resulting in a reduction of tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 20823850). Zelboraf (vemurafenib) is FDA approved for BRAF V600E-mutant melanoma and for BRAF V600-positive Erdheim-Chester disease (FDA.gov). |

BRAF V600E | hairy cell leukemia | predicted - sensitive | Ruxolitinib + Vemurafenib | Phase II | Actionable | In a Phase II trial (HCL-PG03), combined Zelboraf (vemurafenib) and Jakafi (ruxolitinib) therapy in relapsed or refractory hairy cell leukemia patients with BRAF V600E demonstrated safety, and led to complete response (CR) in 87% (26/30) of patients, including 17 (65%) with negative minimal residual disease, a progression-free survival rate of 78% at a median follow-up of 37 months, and a relapse-free survival rate of 85% in the 26 patients with a CR at a median follow-up of 34 months (PMID: 33979489). | 33979489 |
