Therapy Description

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

Drug Name Trade Name Synonyms Drug Classes Drug Description
Afatinib Gilotrif BIBW 2992|Giotrif EGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 65 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).
Alectinib Alecensa CH5424802|RO5424802 ALK Inhibitor 33 RET Inhibitor 53 Alecensa (alectinib) is an inhibitor of RET and ALK, including ALK fusions and the gatekeeper mutation, L1196M (PMID: 21575866, PMID: 25349307). Alecensa (alectinib) is FDA-approved for use in patients with ALK-positive (rearrangements and fusions) non-small cell lung cancer (FDA.gov).

Molecular Profile Indication/Tumor Type Response Type Therapy Name Approval Status Evidence Type Efficacy Evidence References
EML4 - ALK lung non-small cell carcinoma sensitive Afatinib + Alectinib Preclinical - Cell culture Actionable In a preclinical study, treatment with the combination of Gilotrif (afatinib) and Alecensa (alectinib) increased inhibition of downstream signaling, viability, and residual colony formation in a non-small cell lung cancer cell line harboring EML4-ALK compared to Alecensa (alectinib) treatment alone in culture (PMID: 37748191). 37748191
EML4 - ALK lung non-small cell carcinoma sensitive Afatinib + Alectinib Preclinical - Cell line xenograft Actionable In a preclinical study, combination of Gilotrif (afatinib) and Alecensa (alectinib) restored sensitivity to Alecensa (alectinib) in non-small cell lung cancer cells harboring EML4-ALK fusion that acquired resistance to Alecensa (alectinib) through up-regulating Egfr signaling in culture and inhibited tumor progression in cell line xenograft models (PMID: 26682573). 26682573
