Drug Combinations to Overcome Resistance to BRAF and MEK Inhibitors

The drug Vemurafenib is one of the few treatment options for late-stage melanoma currently available. However, upon either single or chronic treatment with Vemurafenib, the cancer cells develop mechanisms of resistance to the drug. Other drugs available in the market such as Mek1/2 inhibitors and BRAF inhibitors fail to overcome Vemurafenib resistance....

Method to Enhance Treatment of Metastatic Melanoma with BRAF Inhibitors

Malignant melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer and accounts for almost 80% of skin cancer deaths. About 60% of melanomas have a mutation in the BRAF oncogene at V600E. The FDA recently approved (January 2014) the combination of a BRAF inhibitor (Dabrafenib) and a MEK 1/2 inhibitor (Trametinib) to treat this type of melanoma. A problem...

Overcoming Vemurafinib Resistance in Metastatic Melanoma by inhibiting Mcl-1

Malignant melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, accounting for seventy-five percent of skin cancer related deaths. Until recently, treatment options for late stage metastatic cancer had been limited. In 2011, the FDA approved vemurafenib, a BRAF inhibitor, for the treatment of late stage metastatic cancer that bears the BRAF oncogene. Patients...
