|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dabrafenib | Tafinlar | GSK2118436 | BRAF Inhibitor 26 | Tafinlar (dabrafenib) inhibits the activity of BRAF, including V600E, which results in the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 22735384). Tafinlar (dabrafenib) is FDA approved for BRAF V600E/K- positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma, and in combination with Mekinist (trametinib) for BRAF V600E/K-mutant melanoma, BRAF V600E-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, BRAF V600E-mutant anaplastic thyroid cancer, for adult and pediatric patients of 6 years or older with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors harboring BRAF V600E, and for pediatric patients of 1 year or older with low-grade glioma harboring BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
| Pembrolizumab | Keytruda | MK-3475 | Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor 150 PD-L1/PD-1 antibody 136 | Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is an antibody against PD-1 that activates T-cell mediated anti-tumor immune response (PMID: 25977344). Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is approved in melanoma, SCLC, HNSCC, classical Hodgkin Lymphoma, PMBL, urothelial carcinoma, HCC, Merkel cell carcinoma, NMIBC, cutaneous SCC, MSI-H or dMMR or TMB high advanced solid tumors, NSCLC and CD274 (PD-L1)-positive NSCLC, esophageal SCC, cervical cancer, HNSCC, and TNBC, in combination with platnum-based chemo in NSCLC, with pemetrexed and platinum in pleural mesothelioma and non-sNSCLC with no EGFR or ALK mutations, with carboplatin and paclitaxel/nab-paclitaxel in sNSCLC, with axitinib or lenvatinib in RCC, with lenvatinib in endometrial carcinoma that is not MSI-H or dMMR, with platinum and fluoropyrimidine-based chemo for esophageal or gastroesophageal carcinoma, with Herceptin (trastuzumab), fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemo for CD274 (PD-L1)-positive, HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemo for HER2-negative gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, with platinum-based chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab, for patients with CD274 (PD-L1)-positive cervical cancer, with gemcitabine and cisplatin for biliary tract cancer, with chemoradiation for cervical cancer, with carboplatin and paclitaxel for endometrial carcinoma, with paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab for epithelial ovarian, Fallopian tube, and peritonium cancer (FDA.gov). |
| Trametinib | Mekinist | GSK1120212 | MEK inhibitor (Pan) 27 MEK1 Inhibitor 27 MEK2 Inhibitor 25 | Mekinist (trametinib) inhibits MEK 1 and 2, which potentially leads to reduced tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 27956260). Mekinist (trametinib) is FDA approved for melanoma patients harboring BRAF V600E or BRAF V600K mutations, and in combination with Tafinlar (dabrafenib) for BRAF V600E/K-mutant melanoma, BRAF V600E- mutant non-small cell lung cancer, BRAF V600E-mutant anaplastic thyroid cancer, for adult and pediatric patients of 6 years or older with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors harboring BRAF V600E, and for pediatric patients of 1 year or older with low-grade glioma harboring BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
