| Alectinib | Alecensa | CH5424802|RO5424802 | ALK Inhibitor 33 RET Inhibitor 53 | Alecensa (alectinib) is an inhibitor of RET and ALK, including ALK fusions and the gatekeeper mutation, L1196M (PMID: 21575866, PMID: 25349307). Alecensa (alectinib) is FDA-approved for use in patients with ALK-positive (rearrangements and fusions) non-small cell lung cancer (FDA.gov). |
| Carboplatin | Paraplatin | CBDCA | Chemotherapy - Platinum 7 | Paraplatin (carboplatin) is a second-generation platinum compound and is activated intracellularly to form reactive platinum complexes that cross link DNA with DNA and with proteins. This induces apoptosis and inhibits cell growth (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
| Irinotecan | Camptosar | CPT-11 | TOPO1 inhibitor 11 | Camptosar (irinotecan) inhibits Topoisomerase-I activity, resulting in inhibition of DNA replication, and potentially leading to cell death and is indicated as a component of first-line therapy in combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin for patients with metastatic or recurrent colorectal carcinoma (FDA.gov). |
