Pharmacology
Encorafenib is a kinase inhibitor that targets BRAF V600E as well as wild-type BRAF and CRAF, blocking constitutively activated BRAF kinase signaling driven by BRAF V600 mutations that stimulates tumor cell growth; in combination with binimetinib, it targets two kinases in the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway for greater anti-tumor activity.
Panitumumab is a fully human IgG2 monoclonal antibody that competitively blocks ligand binding to EGFR, inhibiting receptor autophosphorylation and downstream signaling, thereby inhibiting tumor cell growth and inducing apoptosis; in KRAS G12C-mutated mCRC, combining EGFR blockade with sotorasib overcomes EGFR-mediated resistance to KRAS G12C inhibition.
