| Cetuximab | Erbitux | IMC-C225 | EGFR Antibody 77 | 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, and in combination with Braftovi (encorafenib) with or without mFOLFOX6 in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
| Encorafenib | Braftovi | LGX818 | BRAF Inhibitor 26 | 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, in combination with Erbitux (cetuximab) with or without mFOLFOX6 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, which potentially leads to inhibition of cell proliferation and tumor growth (PMID: 23620515). |

| 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 |
