General information
Class/mechanism: Tyrosine kinase inhibitor, MEK1 (mitogen-activated extracellular signal regulated kinase 1) and MEK2 inhibitor. Cobimetinib inhibits the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) pathway by inhibiting MEK1 and MEK2. Cancers with BRAF V600E and K mutations have constitutive activation of the BRAF pathway, which includes MEK1 and MEK2. Inhibiting MEK1 and MEK2 results in inhibition of ERK and cellular proliferation.[1][2]
Route: PO
Extravasation: n/a
For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
