Afatinib | Gilotrif | BIBW 2992|Giotrif | EGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 62 EGFR Inhibitor 2nd gen 5 HER inhibitor (Pan) 6 | Gilotrif (afatinib) is a second-generation pan-Egfr inhibitor with activity against EGFR T790M and EGFR exon 19 and 21 deletions, and also inhibits ERBB2 (HER2), ERBB3 (HER3), ERBB4 (HER4) (PMID: 24435321, PMID: 25505694). Gilotrif (afatinib) is FDA approved for use in non-small cell lung cancer patients harboring non-resistant EGFR mutations, including exon 19 deletions, L858R, S768I, G719X, and L861Q, and for patients with metastatic squamous NSCLC (FDA.gov). |
Dabrafenib | Tafinlar | GSK2118436 | BRAF Inhibitor 25 | 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). |
Trametinib | Mekinist | GSK1120212 | MEK inhibitor (Pan) 26 MEK1 Inhibitor 26 MEK2 Inhibitor 24 | 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). |

BRAF V600E PTEN del | melanoma | sensitive | Afatinib + Dabrafenib + Trametinib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the addition of Gilotrif (afatinib) restored sensitivity to Tafinlar (dabrafenib) and Mekinist (trametinib) and led to synergistic inhibition of a melanoma cell line harboring BRAF V600E and engineered via CRISPR-Cas9 to harbor a PTEN knockout in culture (PMID: 38854737). | 38854737 |
