| Cetuximab | Erbitux | IMC-C225 | EGFR Antibody 74 | 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, and in combination with Braftovi (encorafenib) with or without mFOLFOX6 in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
| Floxuridine | FUDR | 5 Fluorodeoxyuridine | ||
| Fluorouracil | Adrucil | 5-FU|5-Fluorouracil | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Adrucil (fluorouracil) is an antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agent that interferes with DNA and RNA synthesis, thereby preventing cancer cell growth (PMID: 28520376). Adrucil (fluorouracil) is FDA-approved for use in patients with adenocarcinoma of the colon, rectum, breast, stomach, and pancreas (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). |
