Abstract
Introduction: The management of patients with BRAF-mutated advanced melanoma who are undergoing targeted therapy with MEK inhibitors can be complicated by the co-administration of multiple medications, which can give rise to drug-drug interactions of clinical significance.
Covered areas: Our review presents a comprehensive analysis of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions of the three approved for advanced melanoma MEK inhibitor drugs - binimetinib, cobimetinib, and trametinib. MEDLINE (PubMed) was utilized for the literature search, comprising clinical studies, observational studies, and preclinical research. The review discusses the impact of these interactions on efficacy and safety of the treatments and differentiates between interactions supported by pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic mechanisms, those encountered in clinical practice, and those observed in preclinical studies.
Expert opinion: Physicians should be aware about potential benefits, but also increased toxicity caused by drug interactions between MEK inhibitors and other drugs in the management of patients with metastatic melanoma.
期刊介绍:
Expert Opinion on Drug Metabolism & Toxicology (ISSN 1742-5255 [print], 1744-7607 [electronic]) is a MEDLINE-indexed, peer-reviewed, international journal publishing review articles on all aspects of ADME-Tox. Each article is structured to incorporate the author’s own expert opinion on the scope for future development.
The Editors welcome:
Reviews covering metabolic, pharmacokinetic and toxicological issues relating to specific drugs, drug-drug interactions, drug classes or their use in specific populations; issues relating to enzymes involved in the metabolism, disposition and excretion of drugs; techniques involved in the study of drug metabolism and toxicology; novel technologies for obtaining ADME-Tox data.
Drug Evaluations reviewing the clinical, toxicological and pharmacokinetic data on a particular drug.
The audience consists of scientists and managers in the pharmaceutical industry, pharmacologists, clinical toxicologists and related professionals.
