Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Carboplatin | Paraplatin | CBDCA | Chemotherapy - Platinum 7 | Paraplatin (carboplatin) is a second-generation platinum compound and is activated intracellularly to form reactive platinum complexes that cross link DNA with DNA and with proteins. This induces apoptosis and inhibits cell growth (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Durvalumab | Imfinzi | MEDI4736 | Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor 149 PD-L1/PD-1 antibody 122 | Imfinzi (durvalumab) is a monoclonal antibody that binds to and inhibits PD-L1 (CD274), potentially resulting in increased immune response to tumors (PMID: 25943534, PMID: 28214651). Imfinzi (durvalumab) is FDA-approved for use in patients with urothelial carcinoma, unresectable, stage III non-small cell lung cancer, and limited-stage small cell lung cancer, in combination with Imjudo (tremelimumab) and platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without sensitizing EGFR or ALK mutations, in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery and adjuvant Imfinzi (durvalumab) in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer, in combination with etoposide and carboplatin or cisplatin in patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer, in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine in patients with locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer, in combination with Imjudo (tremelimumab) in adult patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, and in combination with carboplatin plus paclitaxel followed by single-agent Imfinzi (durvalumab) in adult patients with mismatch repair deficient endometrial cancer (FDA.gov). |
Gemcitabine | Gemzar | Difluorodeoxycytidine Hydrochlorothiazide|LY-188011 | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Gemzar (gemcitabine) is converted in cells to difluorodeoxycytidine di- and triphosphate (dFdCDP, dFdCTP), which act to inhibit ribonucleoside reductase and as a deoxynucleotide analog respectively, resulting in DNA strand termination and apoptosis (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
