Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A synthetic, fungal metabolite analogue inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 (MEK-1) and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1 (MEKK-1) with potential antipsoriatic and antineoplastic activities. MEK-1/MEKK-1 inhibitor E6201 specifically binds to and inhibits the activities of MEK-1 and MEKK-1, which may result in the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. MEK-1 and MEKK-1 are key components in the RAS/RAF/MEK/MAPK signaling pathway, which regulates cell proliferation and is frequently activated in human cancers.

E6201 has been investigated in 2 clinical trials, of which 1 is open and 1 is closed. Of the trials investigating e6201, 1 is phase 1 (1 open) and 1 is phase 1/phase 2 (0 open).

BRAF Codon 600 Missense, Complex karyotype, and FLT3 Mutation are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for e6201 clinical trials.

Acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, and melanoma are the most common diseases being investigated in e6201 clinical trials [2].
