Binimetinib | Mektovi | ARRY-162|ARRY-438162|MEK162 | MEK inhibitor (Pan) 26 MEK1 Inhibitor 26 MEK2 Inhibitor 24 | Mektovi (binimetinib) inhibits MEK1 and MEK2 resulting in inhibition of growth factor-mediated signaling and decreased tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 23587417). Mektovi (binimetinib) in combination with Braftovi (encorafenib) is FDA approved for use in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with a BRAF V600E or V600K mutation (FDA.gov). |
Ulixertinib | BVD-523|BVD 523|BVD523 | ERK Inhibitor (pan) 21 | Ulixertinib (BVD-523) inhibits both ERK 1 and 2, thereby preventing the activation of ERK-mediated signal transduction pathways and resulting in growth inhibition (PMID: 28939558). |

BRAF V600E | pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma | sensitive | Binimetinib + Ulixertinib | Preclinical - Cell line xenograft | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the combination of Ulixertinib (BVD-523) and Mektovi (binimetinib) inhibited proliferation and had a synergistic effect on induction of apoptosis and inhibition of MAPK pathway activity in a pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma cell line harboring BRAF V600E in culture, and improved the progressive disease/partial response ratio compared to either drug alone in a zebrafish xenograft model (PMID: 35882450). | 35882450 |
