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.
Cemiplimab-rwlc is a recombinant human IgG4 monoclonal antibody (PD-1 inhibitor) that binds to PD-1 and blocks its interaction with PD-L1 and PD-L2, releasing PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of the immune response, including the anti-tumor immune response.
