Dabrafenib | Tafinlar | GSK2118436 | BRAF Inhibitor 25 | Tafinlar (dabrafenib) inhibits the activity of BRAF, including V600E, which results in the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 22735384). Tafinlar (dabrafenib) is FDA approved for BRAF V600E/K- positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma, and in combination with Mekinist (trametinib) for BRAF V600E/K-mutant melanoma, BRAF V600E-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, BRAF V600E-mutant anaplastic thyroid cancer, for adult and pediatric patients of 6 years or older with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors harboring BRAF V600E, and for pediatric patients of 1 year or older with low-grade glioma harboring BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
Lapatinib | Tykerb | Lapatinib Ditosylate | EGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 62 HER2 Inhibitor 42 | Tykerb (lapatinib) reversibly inhibits ERBB2 (HER2) and EGFR, resulting in decreased downstream signaling and potentially leading to reduced tumor growth (PMID: 22477724). Tykerb (lapatinib) is FDA approved for ERBB2 (HER2)-positive (overexpressing) breast cancer (FDA.gov). |
