| Dasatinib | Sprycel | BMS-354825 | ABL Inhibitor (pan) 9 BCR-ABL Inhibitor 32 BTK inhibitor 38 CSF1R Inhibitor 28 DDR1 Inhibitor 10 DDR2 inhibitor 7 KIT Inhibitor 57 PDGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 30 SRC Inhibitor 31 TNK2 Inhibitor 7 | Sprycel (dasatinib) is an inhibitor of the SRC-family of protein kinases, BCR-ABL, and ABL, and has additional activity against other kinases including KIT, DDR1/2, PDGFRA/B, and EPHA2, which prevents cell growth (PMID: 25709401, PMID: 25284748, PMID: 18797457, PMID: 23942795). Sprycel (dasatinib) is FDA approved for both Philadelphia chromosome positive adult and pediatric chronic myelogenous leukemia and adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (FDA.gov). |
| 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 | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Dasatinib + Vemurafenib | Preclinical - Pdx & cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, treatment with the combination of Zelboraf (vemurafenib) and Sprycel (dasatinib) induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, inhibited colony formation and migration, and synergistically inhibited viability in colorectal cancer cell lines harboring BRAF V600E in culture and increased tumor growth inhibition in cell line and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models compared to either drug alone (PMID: 40481178). | 40481178 |
| BRAF V600E | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Dasatinib + Vemurafenib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the combination of Zelboraf (vemurafenib) and Sprycel (dasatinib) synergistically inhibited viability in colorectal cancer cell lines harboring BRAF V600E in culture (PMID: 36759733). | 36759733 |
