Pharmacology
Repotrectinib is a kinase inhibitor of ROS1 and tropomyosin receptor tyrosine kinases (TRKA, TRKB, TRKC); fusion proteins containing these domains drive tumorigenic potential through hyperactivation of downstream signaling pathways leading to unconstrained cell proliferation.
Dabrafenib is a BRAF kinase inhibitor that targets mutated BRAF V600E, V600K, and V600D enzymes, inhibiting cell growth in BRAF V600 mutation-positive tumors.
