Encorafenib is a kinase inhibitor used to treat unresectable or metastatic melanoma with specific mutations.
Encorafenib is a kinase inhibitor that targets BRAF V600E, as well as wild-type BRAF and CRAF in in vitro cell-free assays with IC50 values of 0.35, 0.47, and 0.3 nM, respectively. Mutations in the BRAF gene, such as BRAF V600E, can result in constitutively activated BRAF kinases that may stimulate tumor cell growth. Encorafenib was also able to bind to other kinases in vitro including JNK1, JNK2, JNK3, LIMK1, LIMK2, MEK4, and STK36, and reduce ligand binding to these kinases at clinically achievable concentrations (≤0.9 µM).
Encorafenib is indicated in combination with binimetinib for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with a BRAF V600E or V600K mutation and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a BRAF V600E mutation. It is also indicated in combination with cetuximab for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with a BRAF V600E mutation.
