Erlotinib | Tarceva | CP358774 | EGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 64 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). |
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). |
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 | colon cancer | sensitive | Erlotinib + Fluorouracil + Vemurafenib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the addition of Adrucil (fluorouracil) to treatment with the combination of Tarceva (erlotinib) and Zelboraf (vemurafenib) resulted in greater inhibition of viability of mouse colon cancer organoids harboring BRAF V600E in culture compared to Adrucil (fluorouracil) or the doublet combination therapy (PMID: 39626159). | 39626159 |
