| Afatinib | Gilotrif | BIBW 2992|Giotrif | EGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 63 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). |
| 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). |

| BRAF V600E | colorectal cancer | sensitive | Afatinib + Encorafenib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, Gilotrif (afatinib) and Braftovi (encorafenib) combination treatment suppressed Egfr, Mek, and Erk activation more efficiently than either agent alone, and synergistically inhibited viability and colony formation in cell lines derived from the peritoneal lavage of a microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer mouse model harboring BRAF V600E along with TP53 R172H (corresponding to R175H in human) and APC loss in culture (PMID: 41566838). | 41566838 |
