Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
An orally available inhibitor of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1 and 2, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, BVD-523 inhibits both ERK 1 and 2, thereby preventing the activation of ERK-mediated signal transduction pathways. This results in the inhibition of ERK-dependent tumor cell proliferation and survival. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/ERK pathway is often upregulated in a variety of tumor cell types and plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation, differentiation and survival.

Ulixertinib has been investigated in 6 clinical trials, of which 4 are open and 2 are closed. Of the trials investigating ulixertinib, 2 are phase 1 (2 open), 1 is phase 1/phase 2 (0 open), and 3 are phase 2 (2 open).

BRAF Mutation, HRAS Mutation, and KRAS Mutation are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for ulixertinib clinical trials.

Malignant solid tumor, acute myeloid leukemia, and cholangiocarcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in ulixertinib clinical trials [2].
