Therapy Description | |
Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Cetuximab | Erbitux | IMC-C225 | EGFR Antibody 61 | 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). |
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). |
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). |
Leucovorin | Wellcovorin | Calcium folinate|Calcium citrovorum factor|folinic acid | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Wellcovorin (leucovorin) is a metabolite of folate that enhances the efficacy of fluoruracil (PMID: 32490554). |

BRAF G469A | colorectal cancer | not predictive | Cetuximab + Fluorouracil + Irinotecan + Leucovorin | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a clinical study, the combination of Erbitux (cetuximab) with FOLFIRI as a third-line therapy resulted in stable disease with a PFS of 4.4 months in a patient with metastatic colorectal cancer harboring BRAF G469A (PMID: 31515458). | 31515458 |
BRAF F247L | colorectal cancer | not predictive | Cetuximab + Fluorouracil + Irinotecan + Leucovorin | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a clinical study, the combination of Erbitux (cetuximab) with FOLFIRI as a third-line therapy resulted in a complete response with regression of the thoracic nodes and progression-free survival lasting 12.6 months in a patient with metastatic colorectal cancer harboring BRAF F247L (PMID: 31515458). | 31515458 |
BRAF D594G | colorectal cancer | not predictive | Cetuximab + Fluorouracil + Irinotecan + Leucovorin | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a clinical study, the combination of Erbitux (cetuximab) with FOLFIRI resulted in one partial response with progression-free survival (PFS) of 3.2 months, and two with stable disease with PFS of 3.7 and 3.6 months in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer harboring BRAF D594G who had been previously treated with two lines of therapy (PMID: 31515458). | 31515458 |
BRAF N581S | colorectal cancer | not predictive | Cetuximab + Fluorouracil + Irinotecan + Leucovorin | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a clinical study, the combination of Erbitux (cetuximab) with FOLFIRI as a first-line therapy resulted in a partial response with progression-free survival lasting 16 months in a patient with metastatic colorectal cancer harboring BRAF N581S (PMID: 31515458). | 31515458 |
