Trametinib | Mekinist | GSK1120212 | MEK inhibitor (Pan) 26 MEK1 Inhibitor 26 MEK2 Inhibitor 24 | Mekinist (trametinib) inhibits MEK 1 and 2, which potentially leads to reduced tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 27956260). Mekinist (trametinib) is FDA approved for melanoma patients harboring BRAF V600E or BRAF V600K mutations, and in combination with Tafinlar (dabrafenib) 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). |
Vemurafenib | Zelboraf | RO5185426|PLX4032 | RAF Inhibitor (Pan) 28 | Zelboraf (vemurafenib) inhibits BRAF V600E, wild-type BRAF, ARAF, and CRAF (PMID: 20179705), which may result in an inhibition of the MAPK signaling pathway resulting in a reduction of tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 20823850). Zelboraf (vemurafenib) is FDA approved for BRAF V600E-mutant melanoma and for BRAF V600-positive Erdheim-Chester disease (FDA.gov). |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
BRAF S363F BRAF K601E | melanoma | sensitive | Trametinib + Vemurafenib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the addition of Zelboraf (vemurafenib) to treatment with Mekinist (trametinib) resulted in increased growth inhibition in a melanoma cell line harboring BRAF K601E, as well as BRAF S363F, in culture (PMID: 29903896). | 29903896 |
BRAF V600X | melanoma | sensitive | Trametinib + Vemurafenib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the combination of Mekinist (trametinib) and Zelboraf (vemurafenib) inhibited growth of BRAF V600-mutant melanoma cell lines in culture, with increased efficacy over either agent alone (PMID: 24265152). | 24265152 |
BRAF V600E | neuroendocrine tumor | predicted - sensitive | Trametinib + Vemurafenib | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a clinical case study, Mekinist (trametinib) and Zelboraf (vemurafenib) combination treatment resulted in a rapid and sustained clinical response in a patient with a rectal neuroendocrine tumor harboring a BRAF V600E mutation (PMID: 27048246). | 27048246 |
BRAF G469A | lung non-small cell carcinoma | conflicting | Trametinib + Vemurafenib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the addition of Zelboraf (vemurafenib) to treatment with Mekinist (trametinib) resulted in increased proliferation compared to Mekinist (trametinib) alone in a non-small cell lung cancer cell line harboring BRAF G469A in culture (PMID: 29903896). | 29903896 |
BRAF G469A | lung non-small cell carcinoma | conflicting | Trametinib + Vemurafenib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the combination of Mekinist (trametinib) and Zelboraf (vemurafenib) inhibited growth of a non-small cell lung cancer cell line harboring BRAF G469A in culture, and prevented Mekinist (trametinib)-related activation of AKT and resulted in increased induction of apoptosis compared to either agent alone (PMID: 25706985). | 25706985 |
BRAF V600E | pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma | predicted - sensitive | Trametinib + Vemurafenib | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a clinical case study, Zelboraf (vemurafenib) and Mekinist (trametinib) combination treatment resulted in decreased tumor markers in a patient with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma harboring BRAF V600E, as well as a germline ATM mutation, and the patient received 13 months of combination therapy and was followed for 24 months (PMID: 35145907). | 35145907 |
BRAF G469V NRAS Q61K | melanoma | predicted - resistant | Trametinib + Vemurafenib | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, the addition of Zelboraf (vemurafenib) to treatment with Mekinist (trametinib) resulted in increased proliferation compared to Mekinist (trametinib) alone in a melanoma cell line harboring BRAF G469V and NRAS Q61K in culture (PMID: 29903896). | 29903896 |
