Clinical Pearls
Georgina Long, BSc, PhD, MBBS, FRACP, medical oncologist, translational researcher, Melanoma Institute Australia, The University of Sydney, highlights targeted therapies in development for melanoma.
- Trials are planned looking at several targeted therapies and combinations of therapies, including CDK 4/6 inhibitors, BRAF or MEK inhibitors combined with MDM2 inhibitors, and BRAF plus MEK inhibitors combined with PD-1 antibodies
- Inhibition at the top of a pathway may not be the most efficacious strategy, as in the case of receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors
- Long favors approaching treatment with the immune system or with inhibitors of AKT/PI3K, CDK 4/6, or HDAC
