Synonyms
Therapy Description

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

Drug Name Trade Name Synonyms Drug Classes Drug Description
Cetuximab Erbitux IMC-C225 EGFR Antibody 60 Erbitux (cetuximab) is a monoclonal antibody directed against EGFR, which inhibits signal transduction and cell proliferation (PMID: 28695301). Erbitux (cetuximab) is FDA approved for use in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and KRAS wild-type, EGFR positive colorectal cancer (FDA.gov).
Fluorouracil Adrucil 5-FU|5-Fluorouracil Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 Adrucil (fluorouracil) is an antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agent, which interferes with DNA and RNA synthesis thereby preventing cancer cell growth and is FDA approved for colorectal, breast, stomach, and pancreatic cancer (FDA.gov).
Leucovorin Wellcovorin Calcium folinate|Calcium citrovorum factor|folinic acid Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 Wellcovorin (leucovorin) is a metabolite of folate that enhances the efficacy of fluoruracil (PMID: 32490554).
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 MAP2K1 K57T colorectal cancer predicted - resistant Cetuximab + Fluorouracil + Leucovorin + Vemurafenib Case Reports/Case Series Actionable In a Phase II trial (MODUL), a patient with metastatic colorectal cancer harboring BRAF V600E was found to have acquired MAP2K1 K57T prior to progression on treatment with the combination of Zelboraf (vemurafenib), Erbitux (cetuximab), Adrucil (fluorouracil), and Wellcovorin (leucovorin) (PMID: 36921494; NCT02291289). 36921494
BRAF V600E colorectal cancer no benefit Cetuximab + Fluorouracil + Leucovorin + Vemurafenib Phase II Actionable In a Phase II trial (MODUL), patients with metastatic colorectal cancer harboring BRAF V600E did not demonstrate improved progression-free survival when treated with the combination of Zelboraf (vemurafenib), Erbitux (cetuximab), Adrucil (fluorouracil), and Wellcovorin (leucovorin) compared to the control treatment of Avastin (bevacizumab) with a fluoropyrimidine (HR=0.95 and P=0.872) (PMID: 36921494; NCT02291289). 36921494
