Encorafenib, also known as LGX818 is a drug candidate for the treatment of melanoma with the V600E mutation in the B-RAF kinase. The substance is being developed by Novartis and was disclosed at the spring 2013 American Chemical Society meeting in New Orleans.[1][2][3]
It is a Selective BRAF Inhibitor,[4] and is in phase III clinical trials.
Clinical trials
Several clinical trials of LGX818, either alone or in combinations with the MEK inhibitor MEK162,[5] CDK4 inhibitor LEE011[6] are being run.
