Erlotinib | Tarceva | CP358774 | EGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 62 EGFR Inhibitor 1st gen 3 | Tarceva (erlotinib) is a first-generation EGFR inhibitor that blocks EGFR signaling, potentially leading to inhibition of tumor growth (PMID: 30069756). Tarceva (erlotinib) is FDA approved for use in patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR exon 19 deletions and/or EGFR L858R, and in combination with gemcitabine for patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer (FDA.gov). |
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 | Advanced Solid Tumor | predicted - sensitive | Erlotinib + Vemurafenib | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a Phase Ib/II trial (EVICT), the combination of Zelboraf (vemurafenib) and Tarceva (erlotinib) resulted in an overall response rate of 43% (3/7), a clinical benefit rate of 100%, and a median PFS of 5.5 months in patients with advanced solid tumors other tan colorectal cancer harboring BRAF V600E (PMID: 36638198). | 36638198 |
BRAF V600E | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Erlotinib + Vemurafenib | Preclinical - Cell line xenograft | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the combination of Zelboraf (vemurafenib) and Tarceva (erlotinib) resulted in improved inhibition of tumor growth in BRAF V600E mutant human colon cancer cell line xenograft models compared to either drug as monotherapy (PMID: 22448344). | 22448344 |
BRAF V600E | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Erlotinib + Vemurafenib | Phase Ib/II | Actionable | In a Phase Ib/II trial (EVICT), the combination of Zelboraf (vemurafenib) and Tarceva (erlotinib) resulted in an overall response rate of 16% (5/31; 5 partial responses), a clinical benefit rate of 65% (20/31), a median progression-free survival of 3.9 months, and a median overall survival of 6.3 months in patients with colorectal cancer harboring BRAF V600E (PMID: 36638198). | 36638198 |
BRAF V600E | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Erlotinib + Vemurafenib | Preclinical - Cell line xenograft | Actionable | In a preclinical study, Zelboraf (vemurafenib) treatment in combination with Tarceva (erlotinib) enhanced tumor growth inhibition and increased survival in a cell line xenograft model of colorectal cancer harboring BRAF V600E compared to either agent alone (PMID: 22180495). | 22180495 |
