Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
An orally available inhibitor of all members of the serine/threonine protein kinase Raf family, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, pan-RAF inhibitor LXH254 binds to Raf proteins and inhibits Raf-mediated signal transduction pathways. This inhibits proliferation of Raf-overexpressing tumor cells. Raf protein kinases are critical enzymes in the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway and are upregulated in a variety of cancer cell types. They play key roles in tumor cell proliferation and survival.

Lxh254 has been investigated in 5 clinical trials, of which 5 are open and 0 are closed. Of the trials investigating lxh254, 4 are phase 1 (4 open) and 1 is phase 2 (1 open).

NRAS Mutation, BRAF Codon 600 Missense, and BRAF Mutation are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for lxh254 clinical trials.

Cutaneous melanoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, and colorectal carcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in lxh254 clinical trials [2].
