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). |
Encorafenib | Braftovi | LGX818 | BRAF Inhibitor 25 | Braftovi (encorafenib) is an inhibitor of Raf kinase with selective activity against BRAF V600E, resulting in growth inhibition (PMID: 24864047). Braftovi (encorafenib) is FDA approved for use in combination with Mektovi (binimetinib) in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with a BRAF V600E or V600K mutation, and in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer harboring BRAF V600E, and in combination with Erbitux (cetuximab) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
Tazemetostat | Tazverik | EPZ6438|E-7438|EPZ-6438 | EZH2 inhibitor 20 | Tazverik (tazemetostat) binds to and inhibits EZH2, resulting in decreased tri-methylation of H3K27, and potentially leading to inhibition of cell proliferation and tumor growth (PMID: 23620515). Tazverik (tazemetostat) is FDA approved for use in patients aged 16 years and older with metastatic or locally advanced epithelioid sarcoma not eligible for complete resection, and in adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (R/R FL) harboring an EZH2 mutation after 2 prior therapies, and in patients with R/R FL without treatment options (FDA.gov). |

BRAF V600E | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Cetuximab + Encorafenib + Tazemetostat | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the addition of Tazverik (tazemetostat) sensitized a colorectal cancer cell line harboring BRAF V600E to treatment with the combination of Braftovi (encorafenib) and Erbitux (cetuximab) in culture, resulting in decreased cell proliferation (PMID: 39121480). | 39121480 |
