| Nab-paclitaxel | Abraxane | ABI-007|Paclitaxel Protein-bound | Chemotherapy - Taxane 3 | Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel) is an albumin-stablized version of paclitaxel, which binds microtubules and prevents depolymerization, resulting in decreased cell motility and division (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
| Vemurafenib | Zelboraf | RO5185426|PLX4032 | RAF Inhibitor (Pan) 29 | 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 | triple-receptor negative breast cancer | predicted - sensitive | Nab-paclitaxel + Vemurafenib | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a clinical case study, Zelboraf (vemurafenib) and Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel) combination treatment resulted in regression of some metastatic pulmonary lesions and a progression-free survival of 4.4 months in a patient with triple-negative breast cancer harboring BRAF V600E, but a biopsy in lesions that progressed showed acquisition of additional mutations in PDGFRB, NF2, GRM3, MLH1, FOXA1, LRP1B, and AR amplification (PMID: 34818649). | 34818649 |
